Chapter 619 619: Hope
Gabriel activated the Talisman, to contact the Beast Monarchs. However, even he didn’t know if they could help him, or if this place was even connected to the Upper Realm anymore, or not.
He didn’t realize that even if the Beast Monarchs could receive the information, they couldn’t come here to help him. Even the gods couldn’t enter this place, without being corrupted by the dark abyssal energy in this place.
For the most part, he was on his own, with no help from outside. He couldn’t rely on anyone else other than himself.
An hour passed since he activated the talisman and there was still no response. 𝐍𝑜𝑽𝗲𝓵𝑵𝓔xt.𝗰𝒪𝓂
One hour turned to two hours, which soon turned to two days, without any response.
Over two days passed. Gabriel didn’t even realize when he lost consciousness due to pain in the endless darkness, but he finally regained consciousness.
As he woke up, he realized that there was still no help. He understood that he was on his own. However, what surprised him even more was that he was still alive, even without his heart.
Moreover, the Chaotic Abyssal Energy that was attempting to destroy his body had slowly started to disperse.
He opened his eyes, unable to see anything in the darkness. He placed his hand on his chest, touching the place where there was supposed to be a hole. But to his surprise, the hole had closed!
He created a sphere of light, shining some light in the darkness, noticing his chest. The wound had healed indeed, but there was now a pitch black mark in that place, as if instead of his skin, the Abyssal energy had filled his wounds, creating a new skin that seemingly didn’t belong to him.
Moreover, at the movement, he couldn’t see the Nightmare Beasts anywhere, as if they had all disappeared.
He straightened his body, confused. He was not only able to breathe, but he also felt better than before, as if most of his wounds had certainly healed to perfection.
“Wait… These light spheres…? How are my Elements working in this place now?”
When he first came here, he tried to use his elements, but none of them worked. He couldn’t even use his weakest spell at that time, but now without even realizing, he used one?
This made him feel as if he had an opportunity to get out of this hell.
He straightened and raised his right hand, trying to create a spatial portal to leave himself.
“Why?! Why?! Why?!” He cursed in frustration, realizing that he couldn’t open a portal.
The spatial energy here was intangible, making it extremely hard for even him to open a portal.
He created the Mysterious Words to break the space, trying to stimulate the spatial element of this place, to create some opportunity for him.
However, as soon as he started carving those words, he felt a terrifying pain course through his body. His body didn’t have even close to enough strength in reserve to create a word of that level.
Moreover, he couldn’t even use his surroundings to absorb some elemental aura, replenishing him. He stopped forcibly using the spell, feeling as if this place was like the Nether Realm to some extent.
He was convinced that there was no way that he couldn’t escape from this place! Even the Nether Realm had an escape.
“There must be an exit, even in this endless abyss!” He created even more orbs of light in his surroundings, looking around.
As far as his eyes could see, there was endless empty space. However, the space was different from the space that he knew… It was much more chaotic and corrupt.
He didn’t use any powerful spells, realizing that he had to consume his energy. However, he still had something that didn’t need spells.
Now that he could use his elements, he could bring out his items from his storage.
The first thing he did was bring out a sword that he was gifted by the Beast Monarchs. He still hadn’t forgotten the strange beasts that he had seen around him. Even though they didn’t kill him, he couldn’t trust them.
It was said that the sword once belonged to the person who was the God of Worldly Laws whose skeleton Gabriel possessed.
At the same time, he also brought out a change of clothes, getting out of the bloody torn clothes.
He donned an attire that made his body feel even lighter in this space, making it easier for him to fly with less exhaustion.
After changing clothes, he left the bloody clothes behind. Unaware of where to go, all directions were the same for him. He selected one random direction, and started flying there, hoping to find some world or some civilization which could help him find an exit.
In the endless abyss, he saw no stars or planets for as far as he traveled, which was strange for him. It was as if this space was some kind of person, but he knew that wasn’t the case either.
This place was just something else entirely… Something that he had never experienced before. Moreover, the more he traveled in this endless space, the more he found it familiar…
“This place…” Initially, he was too distracted to notice it, but with time, he finally realized that this space was very similar to the endless dark Abyss that he saw in his dream, where he heard some strange voices, calling for him!
He wondered if it was just a coincidence or if it meant something more.
Despite his curiosity, he decided not to linger on the thought for too long.
Instead, he focused on searching… Searching for even a single life form. He didn’t care if it were the Nightmare Beasts or something else. He just wanted to find someone or something!
After endlessly flying in the darkness for close to thirteen hours, he was starting to lose hope. It was as if there was just no end to this space! However, as he started to slow down, he finally saw something.
