Chapter 129: (1)
“As you know, we need to be careful from here on out.”
Famein, the eldest among the elves accompanying Kaiyan to check the abyss, warned him.
“I’m aware. If we’re not careful, we could get sucked in.”
Kaiyan had already visited the abyss once during his 30 days in the underground world.
‘If it hadn’t been for Famein’s help back then...’
Gulping down, the tension made his throat dry.
At that time, he had known nothing, and without Famein’s help, he might have fallen into the abyss. The abyss not only spewed out monsters but was also dangerous because it sucked in everything around it normally.
“It’s truly an abyss in every sense of the word.”
[It feels ominous here every time we come!]
“Squeak!”
Rieka ruffled her fur in disgust, and Windy, though nervous, followed loyally, bringing a smile to Kaiyan’s face.
“If anything happens, I’ll protect you.”
[Hehe, don’t worry! If anything happens, Windy and I will move back so we won’t be in the way.]
Wooooo!
As Kaiyan and Rieka chatted, his senses began to scream intensely.
‘This is the start of the abyss’s territory.’
The first time he felt this sensation, he was too frightened to even step properly.
It was similar to when he first saw a colossal monster or when Canien transformed into a giant beast.
The energy emanating from the abyss had a magical pull that drew out the fears lurking within a person’s innermost thoughts. It seemed the elves, except for Famein, began to rely on the nearby spirits for support as they walked.
“Hoo...”
About 30 minutes into their walk into the deep cave, as the oppressive feeling grew stronger, Famein, who was leading, raised his hand.
“Only high-level spirit masters continue from here. The rest should wait here. And... Kaiyan, you come with me.”
“Yes, Rieka, Windy, wait here for me.”
Famein’s voice brought Kaiyan back from his reverie. He looked ahead.
Kwoooo.
“Just like last time.”
“For over 40 years, I’ve observed this place, but it has never changed.”
The abyss sucked in even the light emitted by the spirits contracted by the elves.
Calling it merely an abyss seemed an understatement. Perhaps this was what the edge of the world, the monster habitat mentioned in history books, looked like.
Kwoooo.
“The rumbling is unsettling. To think that monsters come from such a place.”
The abyss wasn’t very large. Compared to the one Canien summoned, it was about one-hundredth the size.
However, the alien energy it emitted and sucked in was incomparable to anything he saw before.
“The abyss...”
Despite keeping a considerable distance, Kaiyan felt as if the hole was pulling in not just his body but his soul too.
“Kaiyan, it’s dangerous to go any closer.”
As Kaiyan unconsciously stepped forward, Famein reached out to stop him.
“Oh! Yes. Thank you.”
“Then let’s head back. There’s been no change in the abyss.”
Before turning to follow Famein’s gesturing hand, Kaiyan took one more long look at the abyss.
‘If I fell in there, where would it take me? Could it take me to the Eunasia continent?’
“Rieka, how much G would it take to bring the underground world’s elves to the Eunasia continent?”
[Are you talking about taking all the elves?]
“Yes, they need to go to the Eunasia continent anyway. Oh, and the spirits too.”
Five days after returning from the abyss, a problem arose.
