To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 140: Battle of Catastrophe (Begin)

Those who are not Platinum ran as far as they could go.

Those who had the strength to fight Catastrophe ran towards the location.

Those in the distance saw the horror descend into the territory where they lie.

______________

Monster Name : Fenrir

Difficulty : 10

Category : Catastrophe Beast

Monster Info : 

- Hell Wolf Beast. A huge wolf whose entire body is burning by the flames of hell. Every part of its body being chained. A very heavy monster and always going forward. Can't be stopped nor can be killed. 

Recommendation: The purpose of this Hell Beast's being descended is to destroy a territory. So the fight with this beast can be avoided by running from the territory being targeted.

______________

"Did you expect that this would happen?"

"No, I am not a strategic nor a person suits in battle. But I did expect that things will become more complicated as this night goes to morning."

______________

"Does the gate still being locked?!"

"Yes, bos! And for some reason, we can't break in either, even though after all the strength we used!"

Jade has tried various ways to try to enter or contact all the Women Hunter of the East District. But all their efforts did not produce any results. It seemed like a mountain had prevented them from connecting with Sylvia Shield. 

Jade knew none of this was done by Sylvia. Yet she still pissed that they couldn't do anything to fight the Demon King Commander's plan.

"Boss!"

Suddenly her men pointed to the south, where there were 1000 hunters running scared back to the city.

"What happen there?!"

Right after Jade asked her question, a sweeping attack that knocked out dozens of Hunters occurred. It was like knowing Jade and Green Sky Shield are going to try to stop Fenrir.

The attack didn't just happen once. The attacks had no rhythm but are continuously carried out by unknown individuals.

"There is a strange swordsman, the culprit of the attacking!"

Jade's subordinate, Archer, points to the person in charge of the massive attack.

"It's, a man! What's more, he's just alone! And, he has a hole in his chest!"

The big probability of the scenario is:

"Another Demon King Commander that helped the one attacking now?"

Jade could think of nothing but that possibility.

Jade is starting to feel goosebumps over the immaculate plot that happens now.

______________

"Like a cruel scenario written directly by God."

"Me, no. I'm not writing it."

"You are not a God, rascal."

______________

"What are we going to do, Boss?!"

From the north, the Catastrophe Beast, Fenrir, is descending slowly. Shield City, especially the East District, will be its target.

From the south, a Hollow Swordsman is attacking the low rank hunters. Most likely there is no one could against him. Lower rank Hunters would be wiped out if no one stopped him.

Jade chose a really tough choice. 

"We're going south."

Yes, she will leave Sylvia to fight the Demon King Commander and the Catastrophe Beast alone.

"I hope you really are on our side."

But she hoped that the strong individual whose only looking at the cathedral would help her friend.

There she went south. To help the Hunters who are slowly being wiped by the other boss villains.

______________

"So that is his main purpose!"

All the battles they faced before are only ingredients of the main recipe for the Demon King Commander's plan.

Veora is so pissed off. But at the same time is fearful of the perfect plan being done. Everything really went their way.

Even so, she wouldn't run away from the fight. It's just the Women Hunter, their family members, especially those who are still Silver and Gold; she worried about them.

If the gates weren't locked, she would have immediately ordered them into the West District.

Actually, all the gates are unlocked, but there is an enveloping wall of black flames that envelop all the city walls. That wall of black flames that locked them all within the East District.

They have tried to destroy and purify the black flame wall, but none of their efforts have succeeded in getting rid of it.

There, their hope is only one.

"Sylvia, could you use the power of the Blue Sky Sword to cut through that black wall? At least so that the lower ranks can get out of the city."

"I have tried it."

Veora a bit surprised. "I am sorry, but when?"

"You saw me spltted that rotten guy outside before, right?"

The attack that sliced through Jared a great distance away.

"Yes."

"The swing also intends to split the gate to the Stairs of Serenity. But it didn't work. Now that I think about it, [Blue Clarity] only meant to kill a subject, that means a soulless being. Meanwhile, that black wall flames is an object, a soulless creature. That way Blue Sky Sword couldn't cut it open."

That makes sense and is very clear.

The Blue Clarity of Blue Sky Sword is indeed a deadly attack that could one slash kill a region boss monster. But as Sylvia explained, that attack had the property of only having an effect on sentient beings. 

"Order the Silver to retreat to the south wall."

That was Sylvia's first order in that situation.

Veora immediately faced down and saw her subordinates.

"To all Silver, the situation is very complicated now! Therefore, for those of you who are Silver, move up to the south wall! And for those of you who are Gold, you guys go with Silver! If any of you want to stay, try not to waste your life in vain! We only have two enemies left, but they are the Demon King Commander and the Catastrophe Beast! That's why this battle can only be faced by Sylvia and the Platinum!"

All Silver Women Hunter immediately obey to the order and running to the south wall of the district.

Many of the Gold chose to stay. There are also some who tried to go up and come to their leader.

"Veora Vice Leader! Could Sylvia just broke the ?"

Before they finished the question Veora had asked, Veora looked at them seriously and shook her head.

That readiness is a sign for them that they should not try to ask that or something else.

Things felt very complicated, but still no one should try to communicate with Sylvia carelessly.

Therefore, they come back down.

Not only those who descended below, Fenrir, after being escorted by the Hell-Senders for quite a while, managed to land onto the grounds of the Land of Honor.

There is a shiver could be heard by everyone when Fenrir put its foot onto the surface.

After successfully lowering the package, the Hell-Senders, the Imp, released the chains attached to Fenrir and flew back up. On their way back to the Gate of Hell's Judgment, they sing a song that sounds like a lullaby, but sounds so horrible.

After the Catastrophe Beast was successfully descended, another surprising thing happened to the East District.

An explosion occurred at the northern end of the district. The explosion was large enough to blow those who are close to it.

"Is that him?!"

There are no other villains who have the intention of destroying the district besides the Demon King Commander.

"Sylvia?!"

Sylvia unhesitatingly darted into the scene with great intent.

A few moments passed after the explosion occurred and the smoke from the explosion began to dissipate. 

Shockingly, a sizable explosion ripped through the northern wall. But for one reason, the former Infection Treatment Center building is still intact.

After all the smoke covering the location disappeared, someone seen standing in front of the building, menacingly.

A man. Age unknown. Dressed in all black clothes and robes, typical of the Black Hunter appearance. The Demon King Commander himself.

In front of him, standing many strong female hunters, guardian of the Shield City. 

Despite their large number, there is only one who could actually face the strongest villain boss.

That is Sylvia Shield. She vigorously walked over, facing the Demon King Commander.

"If it's me who you seek, don't involve my subordinates."

Sylvia unhesitatingly declared that, which shocked her subordinates from behind. She seemed to confess the sins she had committed. Even though she didn't know exactly what sin it was.

At Sylvia's statement, the Demon King Commander raised his face, showing a face that gave the female hunters chills.

A face that is badly damaged. Has various kinds of scars. The left side of the eye area covered in terrible burns. Without his long yellow brown hair, his face would have looked even more terrifying.

For some reason, that face showed an expression of profound sadness. Which made those who sees him want to cry and feel terrified at the same time.

"That hole, you can get out... of there."

The word 'you' in the sentence certainly only applies to everyone except for Sylvia.

But at the same time, it was like a trap for those who wanted to get out. Because outside stood the Catastrophe Beast.

After being silent for a moment, the Catastrophe Beast finally raised its head. Opening his mouth, he howled. 

"Awwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~!"

At that howl, Sylvia thrust Blue Sky Sword towards the surface. Creates a barrier that protects them all from the wave of howls.

The roar could be heard to every end of the Abyssal Terra. Announce his arrival to terra. Shook every hunting region that heard his howl. Gives [debuff: trembling] to those unprotected in a barrier or buff.

After howling, he finally made his first step.

"Stay or die... or get out and die. The choice is yours."
