Chapter 559: 559
For any normal person, the Chaos Abyss would be the most terrible environment possible to live in . But, for the insane who were addicted to blood and slaughter, the Chaos Abyss would be a paradise .
Here, you would never worry that you couldn't find a fight…
"Do these guys not have any semblance of intelligence whatsoever?"
The rain was now only at the level of a sprinkle . Everything around was completely wet . Behind me was a group of dead demonized sea giants . This was already the fourth wave of attacks that I had to deal with today, even though I had just barely finished breakfast and the day was just beginning .
Demonized sea giants, snake demons, regular demons, raksha demons, and so on . In just a short two hours, the Chaos Abyss seemed like it wanted to show me what a great variety of demon and magical beast species was in it, along with how aggressive they all were .
"Two snake demons will jump out whenever I want to go to the bathroom and take off my pants, and I'll get attacked whenever I finish cooking some meat . There's even some that will dig tunnels to attack me from underground while I'm sleeping . Could they please let me have some rest!"
Yet, I could sense that as I slaughtered these demons, I could feel a mysterious sensation of joy from the action, along with the fact that my magic power and physical stamina were both slowly improving .
That was just one of the side effects of being in the Chaos Abyss . Even the purest Holy Knight would eventually become addicted to the "pleasure of cleansing evil" and continuously becoming stronger . And, the only end result of becoming addicted to such slaughter would be to become a true member of the Chaos Abyss yourself .
This entire land desired to see blood flow…
I could sense the desire of the Chaos Abyss itself as I looked at all the demon corpses strewn around me .
"Is Cynthia truly dead? The Chaos Abyss doesn't seem any different from before . "
The Chaos Abyss instinctively desired to see blood and slaughter . It would reward the victorious with evolution that granted concrete power . Demons had basically taken this to a unique art form . Apart from the most basic demon attributes, the constant evolution and devouring made it impossible to find two identical demons .
And, this evolutionary gift from the Chaos Abyss had a rather descriptive term in the mortal plane—"demonization . "
"Indeed, I need more power, but I think I'll pass on this type of insurance scam where they invite you in for free and only ask for money later, bringing along so many troubles and hidden pitfalls . "
I illuminated myself with Holy Light and cleansed the entire area . What happened next was that I lost the minor amount of power that I had just gained .
Power could always be used, no matter what type it was . If I had the free time, I could slowly purify this power to become a source of power that I could use . But, right now was a critical moment for me as I intended to progress to Myth rank soon . This type of tainted power would bring all sorts of trouble for me, so I decided to discard it .
I had left Hakas's dragon nest two days ago . Without the presence of the dragon around to suppress the demons in the area anymore, even more small fries were constantly bothering me . While I could indeed release a powerful aura which would drive them away, that would only attract the attention of far more powerful demons .
The enemies here ranged from as weak as lizardmen, who were so weak that a normal Silver-ranked adventurer could easily defeat a dozen, to fallen sea giants that would require an entire team of Legend ranks to handle . It seemed as if this map was filled with monsters of widely varying power levels . Meeting something from any power level wouldn't be too surprising .
I had long since gotten tired of this endless rain, mud, and swamp . Perhaps demons in other levels would be a lot stronger, but at least my shoes wouldn't be constantly waterlogged and my pants wouldn't grow mold .
However, going to the next level of the Chaos Abyss would be slightly troublesome .
Every dimensional level had two gigantic Dimensional Doors, one each for the next level up or down .
Still, constantly going down would be far too foolish and a waste of time and effort .
All the Dimensional Doors were quite convenient for connecting the Chaos Abyss levels . But as they were highly important strategic objectives, their locations were either under the direct control of each level's ruler, or their locations would be unknown to most .
In other levels, I would have been able to spend some money at any city where lots of demons gathered . I would then be able to purchase information about the teleportation portal's location . But in this dimension, even money was useless with only the low intelligence demons around here .
