"… You're saying that he's a mortal plane resident that was dragged into a Dimensional Door!? You met him in the sixth level of the Chaos Abyss? "
I recalled that the sixth level of the Chaos Abyss was also an Ice Hell. It was physically connected to the Snow Forest area in the seventh level. I would be far too slow if I still couldn't guess what had happened here.
I was overjoyed. Perhaps I felt apologetic towards that unlucky individual. After all, there was a 99% chance that an ordinary person would die after entering the Chaos Abyss. However, his arrival provided me with incredibly important information — the coordinates of the dimensional battlefield in the mortal plane!
"Where's he? Is he with you? "
I glanced over the adventurers. The tiefling warrior had obvious Inferno characteristics. It was highly unlikely that he was an elf mage or dwarf priest. I couldn't find him. Could it be that I didn't follow him?
"He's already dead. He died before we met him. Or rather, we only met his corpse. "
The dwarf priest retreated to my side. He had a full beard and a deep voice, making it impossible to tell his age or gender … More and more dwarves chose to have clean faces when considering other species' sense of beauty. However, it was perfectly normal for adventurers to have a full beard, especially when they were running for their lives.
"He's dead? Are you kidding me? Oh, I see … "
I was astonished at first. What would be the point of chasing after you if he was dead and there was no information? Then, I thought about it carefully. It would be strange if an ordinary person didn't die after falling into the Ice Hell.
But in this world with magic, even if the person died, that didn't mean that the information would end.
"He left behind something?"
"Yes."
That was all I needed to say. The adventuring team before me was either incredibly unlucky, or they received a mission from a True God of Order or Hades to search for that person's corpse and take his corpse's belongings.
The corpse probably didn't have any obvious identifying characteristics. Otherwise, the dwarf priest would have long since reported this to the Gods, and the search would have been completed. There would have been no need to take his corpse's belongings.
But in this world with magic, as long as there were clues and powerful individuals willing to pay the price, even the dead could speak.
Undead archmages would be able to summon souls, dimensional mages would be able to turn back time, the great Druil would be able to sense souls, archaeologists and folklorists would be able to research, the Gods would be able to use prophecy-type Divine Arts, and doctors would be able to dissect corpses.
As long as they were willing to pay the price, coupled with the intervention of the Gods, not only would they be able to find out where he was from, they would even be able to bring him back to life and force him to speak.
It was obvious that the adventurer team had been through multiple battles, and they were covered in wounds and fatigue. It was very likely that they had been chased all the way. However, judging from their anger but not sorrow, exhaustion, and spirit, it seemed that they hadn't suffered a major defeat yet. At the very least, they hadn't lost any members.
But right after they entered this city, even the Chaos War God came to find them. Seeing this, the Chaos Main Gods had already noticed that there was a possibility of information leaking out. They decided to personally come and kill these little insects.
"I didn't expect that the famous Prince Roland would personally come to receive us. My Lord is truly looking after us. However, are our compatriots from the Passionate Knight Order safe?"
The Passionate Knight Order? That sounded like the rather famous Holy Knight Order in the Lan Bing district. The moment I heard this name, I immediately recalled the nervous Holy Knight Order …
"Haha, I'm voluntarily taking the blame for someone else again?"
At this moment, I understood everything. It wasn't Beyana and the others who wanted me to take the blame. They had already arranged for the Holy Knight Order to come and receive us. It was just that I had too many years of experience with being scammed, so I thought too highly of myself and volunteered to take the blame …
Donatis personally intervened because he couldn't do anything about the fact that information was about to leak out. In order to prevent anything unexpected from happening, Donatis personally intervened. He wasn't here for us at all. Perhaps he was quite surprised to see us here.
"Roland …"
"… Harloys, don't say anything. I know what you want to say. Life is just like an unopened box of chocolates. If you don't taste it, you'll never know what your next bite tastes like … Let bygones be bygones. You'll just have to get used to your dark history …"
"I'm just asking you to hurry and help me. This boss is too powerful. I can't hold on for much longer!"
Alright then, it would seem that now wasn't the time for idle chatter. I would have to quickly deal with the problem before me.
However, I felt rather fortunate as I looked at the still ferocious Salor, as well as the gigantic Chaos War God in the distance.
Otherwise, if the reinforcements had encountered Donatis and Salor, the entire Holy Knight Order probably wouldn't have been enough to deal with them, and the information would have been cut off.
"This guy is so thick-skinned …"
Even though Salor was in a predicament where he couldn't even counterattack, he didn't seem tired at all. In fact, he seemed even more spirited than before. Even though he was on full defense, he was still full of energy. If this continued, these "youngsters" would probably be the first to be unable to hold on.
Rather than worrying about the enemy before him, Salor was actually more interested in the gigantic Chaos War God that suddenly appeared. He kept sizing up the Chaos War God with an unconcealable … fear!
That's right, in the 7th level of the Chaos Abyss, the devils and demons had just fought against each other. One side was Salor's backer. Since Donatis had appeared here, it was only natural that he had something to do with the winner of that battle. It could be said that Donatis and I were now mortal enemies.
"If the current Donatis sees the battle between Salor and us, what will he do? Will he directly kill Salor? "
"… He'll kill you first. Think carefully about what you did to the Chaos War God! Who can compare to you in terms of aggro? "
What did I do? All I did was lock myself up in the Hades and release my dogs to beat up Donatis for several years. Then, I mocked him for being unable to even defeat my dogs. Finally, I casually tossed him into Mountain Paradise to enjoy some Holy Light BBQ … I suddenly felt that it would be strange if Donatis didn't kill me first. It would be better if I didn't kill myself first.
However, the strange thing was that Harloys didn't seem to be as anxious as she had been earlier. She even had the time to comment on me. There seemed to be some unfamiliar noises coming from the other side.
"What's the matter? Did someone interfere? "
"A bunch of idiots suddenly appeared. They're actually charging at Donatis. They're basically lining up to die. But, at the very least, we'll be able to hold on until they're all dead."
"… Are those idiots shouting things like 'for the Holy Light' or 'for our God's sake?'"
"No, they're all gritting their teeth to die. It's just that they're shouting at us to 'take the item and leave first' and 'definitely deliver it to the correct location.' They're using their physical bodies to challenge a Main God without even trying to dodge … Tell me, are they all idiots?"
I was unable to comment on this. Even though this was clearly an admirable act of sacrifice, Harloys's words somehow made me feel rather amused.
We messed with the wrong person to track us down, and ended up causing trouble for ourselves by fighting against such a terrifying opponent like Donatis. We even mistook Donatis's main body as a clone. Meanwhile, these Holy Knight mistook Donatis for Donatis on the wrong battlefield, but ended up finding the correct opponent for Donatis … Why do I feel so conflicted? Why do I feel like I'm unable to be serious?
"You don't say. Even I'm confused when you're thinking too much. Relationships are so messed up … It seems that we can't let all these cannon fodder die yet. Adam, rest time is over. Go up and help out."
Harloys's words were still echoing in my ears, but I had to speed up as well.
Since people were dying every minute, it was only natural that rest time would end earlier than usual. It was time to deal with Salor at all costs.
…
Very few people knew that the fairies' ubiquitous newspaper company would sometimes act as a bounty hunter's mission distribution center. However, there were some missions that no one would accept, or that no one would be able to complete. These missions were known as lousy missions.
The fairies' bounty list. Number three of the top ten lousy missions.
Most wanted criminal: Beifeng Herault.
Crime: Beifeng. Crime: Beifeng. (For those who don't understand this term, you can check out the "New Era Dictionary (Official San Antonio Edition)". There's a detailed description of Beifeng. However, minors and females should be cautious.)
Capture alive or execute? For the sake of world peace and your health, please kill him at all costs. We only accept the dead. We don't want him alive!
Most recent location of appearance: Holy Land, Elven Origin, Lake Ardell.
Victim 1 (High Priest of the Silver Elves):
"The Sacred Lake is the holy land of all elves. Legends say that this is the place where the Mother Goddess created us. This is also the holy land where divine beasts and High Elves bathe and worship the Gods. Yet, that bastard actually did such a disgusting thing in the Sacred Lake. He polluted the water source for over a hundred days, causing … causing several hundred divine beasts that bathe and drink in the Sacred Lake to accidentally … become pregnant.
Nobody dared to stop his disgusting actions. The High Elf noblewomen and priestesses all received a major psychological attack. Many elves even voluntarily sought death … I, as the highest priestess of the Silver Elves, declare that as long as you can kill this demon, my race is willing to give you the position of a prince, a million gold taels worth of art, and two God Equipment! We only want him dead! "
Victim 2 (High Priest of the Earth Mother Goddess):
"He actually dared to blaspheme the Mother Goddess in broad daylight … A stone statue of the Mother Goddess, and he was even able to cause the statue to become pregnant. This is …"
Victim 3 (High Priest of the Half-Deer A who was abandoned by Beifeng):
"I was tricked by him! He said that he liked my strong body, but he actually only wanted me to become pregnant with his child. Yep, I'm a male … "
Alright then, victims 1 to 10 (mainly because there were no more bounties on the wanted posters) all took out their entire life's possessions, including seven or eight God Equipment. As long as they completed this bounty, it wouldn't be a dream to go from beggar to king overnight …
When even the Gods were tempted by the tremendous amount of wealth, and when the Gods formed a team to punish Beifeng, a certain person was finally unable to stay in the mortal plane any longer. He jumped into a certain dimensional door that led to the Chaos Abyss …
