For normal lifeforms, the Chaos Abyss would definitely be a rotten place. But for maniacs who thirsted for blood and slaughter, the Chaos Abyss was a paradise.
Here, you would never have to worry about not having a fight to fight …
"Do these guys have no intelligence at all?"
It was drizzling in the sky. Everything around me was washed away by the rain, and in the background was a group of collapsed demonized sea giants. This was already the fourth wave of demonized sea giants today, and I had only just eaten breakfast. The day had only just begun.
Demonized sea giants, snake demons, demons, and rakshasa demons. Only two hours had passed, and the Chaos Abyss seemed to have shown me its astonishing diversity of creatures, as well as their astonishing attack power.
"Even when I go to the toilet, two snake demons will jump out of the swamp right when I pull down my pants. Even when I eat roasted meat, the smoke doesn't drift far away. You guys are here to join in the fun as well. Some of you even dig holes while I'm sleeping. Are you guys even going to let me live!?"
I could sense a mysterious delight filling my heart as I slaughtered them. My mana and stamina were both increasing slightly.
The Chaos Abyss was just that evil. Even a holy Knight would be addicted to the glory of cleansing evil and the pleasure of constantly becoming stronger. And the only result of being addicted to slaughter was that one would become one of them.
This land desired blood …
I could sense the Chaos Abyss's desire as I looked at the pile of corpses before me.
"Did Cynthia really die? This is no different from the past, right? "
The Chaos Abyss instinctively desired blood and slaughter. It would give the victor the possibility of evolution and actual power. Demons were especially special in this aspect. Apart from the most basic demon form, it would be impossible to find two identical demons by constantly evolving and devouring each other.
There was an especially apt description for this type of gift from the Chaos Abyss — "demonized."
"Indeed, I need power, but I should forget about this type of insurance scam that will bring me so much trouble and hidden dangers."
Holy Light lit up and cleansed my surroundings. The next instant, all the extra power was purified and disappeared.
Power was just power. If I had the time, I could indeed convert it into pure mana for my own use. But this was a critical moment for me to advance in power level. Using too much power would bring me a lot of trouble, so I decided to forget about it.
It had already been two days since I left the Dragons' lair. Without the suppression of the dragons' aura, all sorts of Imps had come knocking on my door. I couldn't just casually release my mana, since the Imps wouldn't come. In that case, the Big Guys would come knocking.
From the Lizardmen that could be taken care of by a Silver Rank to the Fallen Sea Giant King that Legends had to team up with, this map was completely random. There was no need to be too surprised to encounter anything.
It hadn't been long since I came here, and I was already completely sick of the endless rainy season and swamps. Perhaps the demons in the other levels would be stronger, but at least they wouldn't make my boots turn into submarines and my pants grow mushrooms.
However, it would be slightly more troublesome to go to the other levels of the Abyss.
The Abyss had a passageway to the upper and lower layers. It was an extremely large and conspicuous portal.
However, it would be too foolish and time-consuming if he were to go down layer by layer.
The internal teleportation portals between the various levels of the Chaos Abyss were quite convenient, but as important strategic resources, the locations of the teleportation portals were either controlled by the lords or unknown to anyone.
If it was any other level, there would be demon towns gathered together, and if they spent a large amount of money, there would always be information about teleportation portals. But in this plane, they didn't know who to spend money on.
"Find the Demon Lord?"
Harloys would be easy to find. However, after I learned from that black dragon which level of the Chaos Abyss I was in, I truly didn't want to meet the Demon Lord of this level.
"Snake God Voka, the Guardian God of the lizardmen and snake demons. No wonder this level is filled with such disgusting creatures."
Although Voka wasn't a particularly powerful God, he was indeed a veteran Chaos Evil God. It could be said that this entire level was his Divine Kingdom, so it was only natural that his power level would be doubled.
If I was a mage or witch doctor who focused on poison, perhaps I could consider meeting the most venomous existence in the entire universe and extort some ingredients from him. But right now, I only wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
"Don't you know that apart from the upper and lower passageways, there are other teleportation portals to other levels? How did you become the boss of this swamp?"
When I asked that black dragon about this, he looked at me with a confused expression.
"Why would I want to go to other levels? Isn't this the most beautiful place in the entire universe? "
Alright then. This place might seem like hell to other creatures, but it was his warm and comfortable home to Voka. For the black dragon, the stench of the death swamp was just like his daily air freshener. Without the dirty swamp, where else would he be able to hunt so easily and bathe so comfortably?
"Tsk, every country bumpkin thinks that their home is the best, even if it's a living hell in the eyes of outsiders."
The silly cat's venomous tongue was just as usual, but I mysteriously felt like I had been shot in the back. After all, I also felt that the Northlands' endless chilly winds would always make one feel energized, and the great snow mountain was so moving.
"It seems that I can only go down to the next level."
Since I was unable to find a teleportation portal to the next level, I could only go down one level at a time. But when I made my decision and was about to order my mount to go down, my mount had an objection.
"… Milord, although I don't know where to find a teleportation portal, I know a place where someone knows."
Considering the swamp's terrain, a black dragon would doubtlessly be an excellent means of transportation. At the very least, the stench of the air and the filthy rain made Frigid Maw, a soul creature, really unwilling to move.
But our current problem was that we didn't know where to go. Randomly flying around in circles would be meaningless, and the black dragon actually didn't dare to fly too high. He told me that there were immemorial creatures here that even he didn't dare to provoke.
"Alright, lead the way."
I was rather astonished that this dragon would voluntarily help me. Something seemed off.
"… But those Onibabas are quite greedy. They won't give you anything without sufficient compensation."
"Compensation? Gold coins? "
"No, those things are useless here. Magic scrolls, magic weapons, and the like are quite valuable."
I followed the black dragon's greedy gaze and discovered that he was staring at the ice magic sword in my hand.
Perhaps in his eyes, that crystal clear sword was the embodiment of its extraordinary value. The battle two days ago also proved the value of this magic sword. It definitely had powerful ice magic attached to it.
As for the inconspicuous battle hammer on my back, the black dragon had never even glanced at it. He wouldn't even want it if I gave it to him.
Perhaps the black dragon was leading me to the Onibabas' home in hopes that the Onibabas would be tempted by our wealth and kill us, which would give him freedom.
I chuckled at this thought.
"Ice magic sword? Heh heh, I got it. I hope that the Onibabas will like these gifts. "
