The group that had returned to the Abyss stood where they were. Because Fen had blown away most of the rubble of the collapsed castle, the Abyss Devils with more vitality and strength climbed out of the sand under Devil Lord Sha Bin's lead and tried to save their companions. It wasn't that they were merciful, but that the Abyss Devils understood the importance of sticking together.
If they were in front of an enemy Abyss Lord, they would run as far as they could. But now, helping a Abyss Devil wasn't just a favor, it was also to strengthen their own forces. Otherwise, the power hidden in their bloodline would cause them to answer the Abyss Lord's summons and die meaninglessly.
How could they not know how Abyss Devils played? Nothing good ever came out of a Abyss Lord's summons.
But Fen and the others didn't feel comforted at all when they saw this. They didn't know where to start chasing that man. At this time, the black-haired, brown-skinned girl's chest rose and fell. The gray cat Hardy poked its head out of her clothes. It looked around and said in surprise, "It really is as you said. This place is almost completely demolished."
Jumping from the girl's arms to the ground, Hardy shook its body, licked its front paws and combed the messy fur on its face. Staying in the robes of these humans was not comfortable at all. But if it wanted to flash and move with them, it had no choice. Hardy had seen the result of the ordinary item in the hands of the human male decaying due to continuous flashes. A cat's life was long, and it didn't want to die early.
However, after knowing that the man had gone missing, Hardy was not only woken up from his sleep but was also brought to the Abyss by three impatient females without waiting for his opinion. This trip couldn't be considered a pleasant one. That was why it didn't look anxious at all after landing on the ground.
After tidying itself up, Hardy used its tail to sweep a relatively flat rock on the ruins. Sitting on it, it asked, "So, why did you bring me here?"
"Didn't I already tell you? Lin has gone missing. We need you to find him," Hallumi said.
Hardy meowed in dissatisfaction and said, "Do we need to worry about that human? Maybe he didn't come back because he wanted to go somewhere and didn't tell you. "
Fen said seriously, "This doesn't seem like that person's style. If he had really encountered such a crisis, how could he not have fled back home? However, he did not do so, nor did he inform anyone. Instead, he simply lost contact with him. The only possibility is that something that we can't even imagine happened, causing him to fall into a situation where he can't even use the forum function. "
Although Hardy's reaction wasn't as quick as those people, at least he wasn't an idiot. It nodded in agreement with Fen's explanation. "Then why did you want me to come here? I don't have the ability to follow the scent like a dog. "
"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to do such a thing. According to his thinking, if he couldn't use Blink to leave immediately, he would still choose to escape back to the maze. So, what I want to know is how you came out of the abyss passageway and which path you chose to leave, "Fen explained.
"Oh, about that." After understanding the whole story, Hardy jumped off the rock. After a few steps, he found that the others didn't move, so he stopped and turned back. "If you're not looking for someone, then come with me."
"Oh, oh!" Realizing that the magic cat was going to lead the way, the others hurriedly followed.
Considering that there were two magic apprentices present, Hardy didn't use all his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so slow when he tested the magician's strength the first time they met.
But what he didn't expect was that Hallumi and Kaya were both senior magic apprentices. Perhaps they hadn't learned their profession thoroughly, but their running ability had been honed early on. According to a certain logic, even if they couldn't win, they had to win in running.
So, under the urging of the female humans, Hardy quickened his pace and walked back the path that he and the magician had taken.
From the beginning, this backward path made the pursuers understand that they weren't going in the wrong direction. Because there were traces of battle at every certain distance. The location of the first suspected battle site had the most serious damage to the surrounding environment. One could imagine the intensity of this battle.
Everyone carefully searched the place for clues left behind, but other than the traces of destruction, the rest was clean and nothing was left behind. Of course, this was the situation in the eyes of ordinary people. In the eyes of the Lich Fen, she at least saw the remnant soul of a great lord of the abyss, or rather, the strong will that had been left here.
This great lord couldn't believe his failure. So he kept muttering. In the spirit of recycling waste and recycling resources, Fen very naturally accepted this soul or consciousness body. After all, after a period of time, it would either dissipate naturally, disappear, or be taken away by other demons who had similar abilities to control souls.
And another reason for accepting this soul or will body was to see if she could get any information about the magician. Unfortunately, other than a pile of resentment, Fen didn't find anything else. The group could only continue to track.
The next battle scene wasn't as intense as the first one. Although the scale of the battle was much smaller, the degree of bloodshed was the opposite. The corpses that were left behind and hadn't been cleaned up by wild magical beasts and other demons were the cruelest methods. At first, it was obvious that the corpses were dismembered by sharp daggers; later on, they were simply torn apart by hand, regardless of the weapon.
Along the way, the direction of these battle traces even turned and began to leave the path to the abyss passageway. The distance between the battle traces also became shorter and shorter. This change proved the fact that the man was still alive. But it seemed that the situation was still developing in a bad direction.
Especially in Hardy's knowledge, he had never walked on a path that was completely unobstructed by demons. He still remembered that last time, they relied on the male human's magic to avoid all the demons that they might have encountered. But this time, the male human didn't lead the way, and there was no set of magic to lead them around. So, the possibility of not encountering any demons was very small.
With this knowledge, Fen and the others hastened their footsteps. They hoped to find the man before the situation became irreversible.
And somewhere in the abyss, a certain person who was chasing demons with red eyes was completely unaware of the changes that had happened to his body. Including the increase in muscle strength, his body had grown a little taller, his nails had turned into sharp claws, and even his appearance had changed again. A layer of extremely fine red hair appeared on the surface of his skin, and the hairless parts were constantly drying and cracking, thickening the stratum corneum on his skin.
It could be said that Lin was indeed moving towards demonization, which was what people called the path of "depravity." And in the eyes of the abyss lords who were watching this depravity, they were full of disdain. After depravity, he maintained his own consciousness and turned the gift of the abyss into power to further improve himself. Only such a demon was worthy of their respect.
But the path of depravity of the person in front of them seemed to be wearing away his own consciousness, turning him into a pure magical creature, and becoming the object of the abyss' manipulation. If he couldn't even protect himself, how could he be respected?
