Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: 605

Even without personally witnessing the battle, I pretty much knew what was going on in this city thanks to the information I received from Harloys .

War God Donatis’s explosive increase in aura, along with killing intent aimed directly in my direction, was the best explanation for everything .

“Tsk, he recognized me through my Holy Light? As expected, it’s not good to be too famous . ”

“…Shouldn’t you say that you antagonized too many people so you have too many enemies instead?”

Adam’s party was already having a difficult battle, and Donatis seemed like he had now gone berserk . In that case, what I needed to do right now was… turn around and run away!

Yes, run away . Was I supposed to go feed Donatis free kills when I couldn’t beat him?

Without a second word, I brought out my wings, and immediately started running while taking the cloned adventuring team with me .

“ROLAND!”

Just as I expected, when I started running away, Donatis unhesitatingly stopped fighting his current opponents, and flew directly in my direction .

Rather than Adam’s party that Donatis knew very little about, the fact that Roland whom he hated so much was actually in the Chaos Abyss would naturally be a rarer “opportunity” . I knew that Donatis, who had come to the Ashen Furnace by himself, would definitely choose to chase after me .

For any Main God, any physical distance between him and his target would basically be meaningless .

The next instant, a gigantic God appeared above me, crashing down like a mountain .

“All of you, hurry and escape to the teleportation portal!”

It seemed that I didn’t even have the time to take care of myself as I told the adventuring team who carried such precious information to hurry and escape according to plan .

Even though Ashen Furnace, which was the largest city in the 100th level of the Chaos Abyss, didn’t have any teleportation portals to the mortal plane, there would be plenty of teleportation portals to other levels in the Chaos Abyss . It would become truly difficult to find the adventurers again if they successfully entered a teleportation portal .

However, my actions attracted Donatis’s attention . He looked where I was pointing, and saw the adventuring team that he had specifically come here to target .

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . Not a single adventurer was missing!

This was an unexpected “pleasant surprise” for Donatis . But, before he could do anything, golden Holy Light Bullets blocked him .

*Boom!*

Successive explosions covered up all other sounds . I had now blocked the gigantic God while in my War Angel form .

“Evil! Don’t even think about taking another step further . As long as I’m still standing here, don’t even dream about killing them . Your evil plan shall be fruitless!”

Donatis fell silent . But, the next instant, I heard screams from behind me .

I looked back, and saw that the adventurers had been ambushed . The inferno centaur archer’s entire body had been shattered by black magic, while the tiefling warrior’s head had been cut off by an assassin .

“The Chaos War God’s worshippers?”

Indeed, this had been done by the surrounding spectators who were Donatis’s worshippers . Many residents of this city were his believers . They had previously acted as Donatis’s sources of information, and now the War God had summoned them to become his sharp blades .

I tried turning around to rescue the adventurers, but this time, Donatis’s black greatsword blocked my way .

“…Roland . I think it’s time for us to calculate what you owe me . ”

This time, I was the one in a dangerous situation .

Have a direct confrontation with the Chaos War God? Even though I was now closer to achieving SemiGod rank thanks to my Dawn holy sword’s creation, single combat against a Main God wouldn’t even be an option until I truly reached the peak .

I, Roland Mist, was someone who would level himself up to level 999 and finish grinding all secret bosses, treasure chests, hidden achievements, and best equipment before I would challenge a video game’s final boss who was only level 50 . Only when I was no longer able to improve my video game character one bit would I go to suppress the final boss completely . That was how “completely solid” my style was!

“Taste my Dawn holy sword!”

I unhesitatingly pulled out my sword and summoned Holy Light with full power . The entire sky shook as pure Holy Light spread on my holy sword . It seemed as if a sun was rising behind me . The scene from a few minutes ago when I slew Salor was reenacting itself .

“Holy Light! Listen to my command, and slay evil!”

But this time, my Holy Light didn’t attack my enemy . Even Donatis had placed himself on guard when the blinding pillar of light appeared .

And then… I disappeared .

“Holy Light is also highly effective to blind people’s eyes . ”

On the ground, although the War God’s worshippers had achieved some results with their sudden ambush, the remaining three adventurers still managed to break out of their encirclement . The winged fallen angel especially seemed likely to rush away first .

“An instant teleportation ability? Damn it!”

Roland could no longer be seen anywhere, but Donatis saw his main targets right before him . It could still be barely passable to say that he was distracted earlier, but letting his targets escape right in front of him would truly be humiliating .

In Donatis’s mind, he didn’t actually care all that much even if information about where the Dimensional Door was located in the mortal plane was successfully leaked to the mortal plane . He figured that he might even be able to have a more fun fight as the vanguard that way . Still, all the discomforting Holy Light in the area made it impossible for him to find Roland .

And when Donatis finally made up his mind to kill the adventurers first, no traces of Roland could be found anywhere .

Meanwhile, I had just met up with Adam’s party . My first reaction was to turn around and leave…

“Roland!”

That clear female voice was so familiar . Yet, I would have preferred not to remember it .

“Didn’t I say before not to let her out? How did she get out from the Land of Spring?”

“…Are you an idiot? She’s a demon, and this is the Chaos Abyss . While she would have difficulties going anywhere else, here she only has to answer the summons of the Chaos Abyss to return . ”

“The will of the Chaos Abyss is gone already, yet this ability is still available?”

“Why don’t you try directly asking her? No matter what, she’s still your girlfriend . Is it really good to just ignore her when she travelled thousands of kilometers just to meet you? Isn’t that too heartless?”

I could only helplessly turn around again and do my best to smile . However, my eyes suddenly lit up when I saw the woman whom I viewed like a daughter .

“Long time no see, Elisa… Eh, this the equipment that you previously used as Lisa?”

The tan leather armor she wore wasn’t particularly powerful . The only enchantments on the armor were quite basic—they were “Low Speed Increase” and “Accuracy”, which were both two-circle spells . This was because Margaret’s abilities back then were also third-rate . However, this leather armor had still been made from dragon skin, and would be top-notch for any newbie adventurer .

I remember that “Lisa’s belongings after she died” had been left behind in the Underground’s library… and since Elisa had this, it could only mean…

“Oh, heavens, you went in there?”

I could only cover my face . That library was still underground below my old home in Sulfur Mountain City . It would be impossible to enter without the password, and my password, if I recalled correctly, was something simple so I wouldn’t forget it…

“The only password more idiotic than your birthday is using your own name as the password . When considering your amazing memory, I only had to try three times to figure out the password . Relax, I didn’t read your diaries . I respect your privacy . Besides, with so many diaries, it would be impossible to finish reading them all . ”

“Ahhh! You must have read them! You must have read them!”

When your diary drawer had been opened and the diary locks were unlocked, would you really believe your mom when she claimed that she only helped to clean your room but didn’t read your diary?

“So embarrassing! Why didn’t the tower spirit self-destruct? Ahhh!”

Naturally, I would have defenses on such an important information trove . The tower spirit would have self-destructed if any outsider came in .

“Oh? That tower spirit? He said I was on the guest list . I’ve been on that list since I was one year old . ”

I almost wanted to cry . Now that she said this, I finally remembered . I was a single father taking care of a little brat back then, and I couldn’t count on any undead to be nannies . Not only did I have to feed Elisa milk and take care of her, I could only personally change her diapers as well .

Back then, I had to take her with me everywhere that I went . I’d probably registered her at the library for convenience so that the mechanical tower spirit wouldn’t react and treat her as an intruder . But, I forgot to take her off the guest list afterwards .

I’d never thought that this actually became a method for her to openly see everything I had . I could now only pray that she hadn’t stayed in there for too long, and that she hadn’t seen all those random things inside, such as my romance novel drafts that I wrote when I was bored, or the adult yuri hentai I wrote for making money which I left on the table… Damn it all, I truly had so much dark history from back then .

“Ahem, Nova angrily glared at Carrie, saying, ‘You damned brat, I didn’t see you all last night, so you were probably messing around with Gianna again…'”

“Ahhh! She read it!”

As an author, the most embarrassing thing of all would probably be to hear someone reading your written words right in front of you . I rolled around on the floor out of humiliation, while Elisa smiled in satisfaction .

Elisa knew that after messing around like this, Roland would probably no longer be able to chase her away after losing so much face… Since she had plenty of blackmail material to work with, she didn’t have to worry about Roland using his status to act unreasonably .

I was still filled with regret and depression . However, the furious gigantic God not far away was reminding us that this was no place to have a chat .

If all of us surrounded and attacked the Main God at this time, it might be possible for us to win . However, it was likely that several of us would die, which definitely wouldn’t be worth it . It would be far better to find a safe place first .

Soon, the adventuring team members (Harloys’ cloned edition) would all “be forced to their ends” and choose to self-destruct . The only remaining tiefling warrior’s corpse would have very little information left on it . Then, all we would have to do was think of a way to take the real adventurers out of here, and no problems would be left .

The moment that I met with the adventuring team that obtained such a strategically important secret, it became highly likely for this secret to be brought back to the mortal plane, and as long as the secret was leaked, hunting the adventurers down and the veracity of the corpses would no longer be important .

Then, all of the rest would no longer be Donatis’s concern . He was busy, and would likely leave soon . As long as the Main God left, whom would we even be afraid of?

“ROLAND!”

Just let him shout all he wanted . We were going to find a place to rest .
