Chapter 295: Abyss' Worry
Chapter 295: Abyss’ Worry
—–
After the battle with the chimera beasts ended, the party quickly chased down the spaceships atop the sky, right after Abyss put Ifrit inside of her divine realm with Lilith.
They had chased down the spaceships as they easily blocked their missiles and magic beam attacks, destroying each one with their abilities. However, the largest one where they had thought the culprit behind this entire thing might be resulted to be completely empty, there was nobody there other than servants.
Abyss tried to interrogate the servants, but their minds seemed to have been distorted through the usage of magic similar to illusion-attribute magic, even when Lilith tried to help them recover, it was impossible, and even when they were killed and their souls were interrogated by Rot, their souls themselves had also forgotten most of what they were, some even acted like children, without knowing what they had been doing this entire time.
It was all rather frustrating. And it was all done before they could ever finish all the beasts, so they couldn’t do much as they had all their hands busy with these powerful monsters.
Abyss decided to move towards the direction where the spaceships came from, after moving the people from the Saphibian village to her Divine Realm, leaving them in this place would had proven to only bring their ultimate demise if these people were to come again.
Nesephise stayed at the side of Abyss, still filled with the intention to help her in bringing back Chaos. However, a new problem as resurfaced. At the beginning Abyss only wanted to prioritize Chaos, but now that there was this new and persistent enemy, she desired to eliminate them, and although her priority was still Chaos, she decided to go with Erebus, Belphegor, Nesephise, and the others towards the route that the spaceships used.
There was certainly someone related to all of this, someone that was behind these attacks, and perhaps the one that had targeted them because they had killed those three other Gods before, who were trying to enslave the Saphibians when they arrived at the village with the twins Armonia and Ermenia.
There was someone behind this entire thing.
“Abyss, hold on, we are going too fast, and we have little clues, calm down your anger and listen to me.” Said Belphegor.
Abyss, who had been engulfed in rage over the bastards that had tried not once but twice to kill them sighed, as she stopped in midair.
“Belphegor I understand how you feel but I don’t think that wasting our time sitting in idle will help us any longer… I have to save Chaos and quickly defeat these bastards… I cannot let them be anymore…” said Abyss.
“I know how you feel, but perhaps we should assess things out… How long have we been flying now? I feel like we crossed a whole continent through the ocean.” Said Erebus.
“I think we just crossed the Vast Swamp Continent, which lead us to the other pole of the world… there are only two big continents, the one where we were was still a wilderness area, mostly because the Guardian lives in here… However, the other side of the planet is infested with pollution and large factories… I had seen them once when I traveled there, I had seen many of our people being enslaved, forced to work for these invaders… I couldn’t do anything, I was too weak back then, and my spirit wasn’t near as strong as it is now…” sighed Nesephise.
“What? So these damned pirates were not just wandering ones? They even settled down here?” asked Natalia in shock. She had a huge hate against Space Pirates because of what they had done to her mother and her village, selling them off all as slaves after capturing them, and being mercilessly used as mere products. Now that she had the strength, Natalia often never doubted into slaughtering them all if she could.
“Indeed, have you encountered these people before?” asked Nesephise, intrigued about these things.
“Yeah, we meet them before in our home planet… But we wiped them out completely with the help of Chaos, and we freed that place from their corruption… They were also good meals for my lord…” said Abyss.
“If Space Pirates are really here, then they shouldn’t be alone, right? Whoever used that ability that enhanced the chimeras, and whoever made them to begin with must be someone truly strong, because they were clearly made out of materials extracted from fragments of the Forbidden One, and everyone already knows how unstable those things are… the only one truly capable of taming them is Chaos and maybe Aruliel, although her case might be unique due to the circumstances in how it happened…” said Edward.
“Y-You’re right… I didn’t think this through… Someone strong enough to control these fragments and even become capable of using them to make powerful chimera beasts… Could that person be behind the space pirates and also that one guy that screamed and boosted the power of the beasts?” wondered Abyss.
“It could be… Does someone knows how that bastard managed to escape?” wondered Natalia.
“He probably escaped with a Teleportation Stone, Abyss stated that she felt some disturbance in the Spatial Layers a few seconds after he disappeared… But we couldn’t do anything as we were too busy with these damn beasts… Damn it!” muttered Belphegor.
“I wish those stones could work with our lord, we even tried using them to teleport to his side but it seems that the stomach of that beast is some sort of dimension of its own… not even spatial traveling in between the stomach and the outside world was allowed…” sighed Yuki.
“Agh, I am a bit tired… and hungry…” sighed Boxxy.
“Boxxy, this is not the time to talk about food!” said Yuki.
“S-Sorry…” sighed Boxxy.
“Sigh… No, we just arrived in the new continent, let’s take a break to eat something before continuing… I am also concerned about Ifrit.” Said Abyss.
