I FOUND A DOOR TO TENSURA AND BECAME BROKEN IN THE REAL WORLD TOO-Chapter 40: Yuuya’s Abyssal Ascension
Chapter 40 - Yuuya’s Abyssal Ascension
After sealing the contract with the Spirit of Darkness, my entire being resonated with newfound power.
I could feel the essence of darkness itself coursing through my veins—a primordial force, ancient and boundless, entwined with my very soul.
As I stood before Milim, the sheer density of my aura caused the very fabric of reality to bend and twist around me.
The ground beneath my feet cracked with each breath I took, and the sky itself darkened, as if the heavens were terrified of my presence.
Milim, standing opposite me, had a wild grin on her face.
Her crimson eyes gleamed with excitement as she sensed the evolution in my power.
Her battle lust was practically palpable.
"Hehehe... Yuuya, you're a walking catastrophe now, huh?" she grinned maniacally, baring her teeth.
She flexed her arms, causing the air around her to vibrate with raw, draconic energy.
"Good! I've been getting bored fighting you lately. Show me what you've got!"
I felt my lips curl into a smirk, my eyes gleaming with predatory hunger.
"Heh... you sure about that, Milim?" I asked, my voice low and menacing.
"I might break you this time."
Her expression darkened, and her grin widened, eyes wild with thrill.
"Tch! Cocky bastard! Let's see if you can back it up!"
Without another word, we teleported out of the Labyrinth and returned to the Dragon Kingdom, seeking a remote, deserted area far from the city—a vast stretch of craggy, mountainous terrain, far enough from civilization that our clash wouldn't annihilate Milim's kingdom.
We landed in the wasteland, the ground cracking beneath us from the sheer pressure of our combined auras.
The sky, which had been clear just moments ago, was now dark and turbulent, crimson streaks flashing through the heavy clouds.
The landscape itself seemed to tremble, as though aware of the devastation about to unfold.
Mountains stood tall, proud and unyielding.
That wouldn't last long.
Milim stood about thirty meters away from me, her golden hair billowing in the wind, her draconic aura flaring with raw, primordial power.
She was already in Battle Mode, her jet-black outfit clinging to her form, her dragon horn gleaming under the storm-lit sky.
Her crimson eyes narrowed, lips curling into a dangerous smirk.
I exhaled slowly, allowing my newfound power to unfurl.
The ground beneath me instantly turned black, consumed by my Abyssal Shroud, spreading out in a crimson-and-ebony mist.
A low, guttural rumble echoed through the mountains, as if the entire world shuddered in fear of what was coming.
"Alright, Milim..." I cracked my knuckles, my voice dark and smooth.
"Let's dance."
Without warning, Milim vanished from her position, moving at hypersonic speed, her form blurring as she rushed me.
The ground she had been standing on exploded violently, the sheer force of her launch creating a mushroom cloud of debris.
I barely had time to track her movements before she appeared right in front of me, her fist hurtling toward my face.
BOOOOM!
Her punch connected with my jaw, sending a shockwave that split the earth beneath us.
The mountains in the distance crumbled, their peaks sheared off by the shockwave alone.
But instead of being blown away, I simply stood there, smirking.
The abyssal energy flowing through me had dampened the impact, and my Magicule Drainfield instantly began siphoning Milim's power, absorbing it into my own.
"Huh?" Milim's eyes widened slightly as she felt a small yet unmistakable drain on her magicules.
I licked the corner of my mouth, tasting the faint trace of blood.
"Is that all?" I asked mockingly, my voice calm and collected.
"You're holding back, Milim. I can feel it."
Her eyes narrowed, and she grinned darkly, her fangs glinting.
"Heh... Oh, you're gonna regret that."
I activated my Abyssal Conqueror, summoning the full extent of my new powers.
Instantly, the entire battlefield darkened, the world itself seemingly swallowed by shadows.
The sky was blotted out, leaving only a void of swirling blackness.
The very air distorted, as if the dimension itself were bending to my will.
I extended my hand, and the ground beneath Milim suddenly ruptured, consumed by my Abyssal Leech.
The entire area beneath her feet turned into a sea of writhing shadows, draining her magicules at a horrifying rate.
Milim's eyes narrowed in surprise.
"Tch... you're stealing my power again?!"
Her aura flared, and she unleashed a pulse of pure draconic energy, blowing the shadows away—
But my Magicule Drainfield was still active, constantly siphoning her energy with every clash.
"You can't stop it, Milim," I said with a dark grin, my eyes gleaming ominously.
"Every hit you land on me feeds my strength."
She grinned madly, clearly loving the challenge.
"Hehehe... THEN I'LL JUST HIT YOU HARDER!"
Milim launched herself at me again, her fist streaking with golden energy.
But this time, I didn't block—I countered.
I raised my hand and activated:
[Abyssal Dominion: World Sever]
A massive black blade of darkness formed in my palm, swirling with crimson lightning, and I slashed toward Milim with the force of a collapsing star.
SCREEEECH!

The blade collided with Milim's punch, creating a colossal shockwave that ripped apart the entire mountain range.
The earth fractured violently, and the sky shattered like glass, creating spatial tears.
Milim's eyes widened, but she grinned maniacally, the thrill of battle making her blood boil.
"YES! MORE! GIVE ME MORE!"
She vanished again, and this time, struck me from all sides, moving at light speed, creating afterimages.
But with my Abyssal Conqueror, my perception of time slowed, and I tracked her effortlessly.
I raised my hand, snapping my fingers.
Suddenly, Abyssal Hounds emerged from the shadows—six colossal, demonic beasts, each wreathed in black fire.
They howled and lunged toward Milim.
She narrowly evaded one, but the second hound caught her by the leg, slamming her into the ground.
The third pounced, forcing her into the air, while the others surrounded her, tearing through the air with snarling fury.
Milim grinned savagely, her crimson eyes burning with draconic rage.
"Hah! Not bad! BUT I'M NOT DONE YET!"
She unleashed her full draconic aura, turning into a blazing star, sending the hounds flying back with sheer force.
But her magicules were dwindling, slowly but surely, being consumed by my Abyssal Leech.
I teleported in front of her, smirking darkly.
"Tired yet?"
She panted slightly, then smirked back, blood trickling from her lip.
"Not even close, Yuuya!"
We both charged at each other again—unstoppable forces, clashing in a battle that reshaped the world itself.
Time had slipped by in a blur.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into a full month of constant battle, training, and feasting with Milim.
Every clash we shared had pushed me beyond my limits, my skills evolving at an unprecedented rate.
I could feel the raw power coursing through my veins, my magicule reserves practically infinite, my strength incomparable.
By now, my aura alone could cause lesser beings to crumble in terror.
The once imposing mountains around Milim's kingdom were now reduced to craters and shattered valleys, the scarred terrain a testament to our unrelenting battles.
But now, it was time to go.
I stood atop a jagged cliff, watching the twilight sun sink over the Dragon Kingdom, painting the sky in hues of crimson and gold.
A faint breeze stirred the dust, and I took a slow breath, feeling the weight of my decision.
That evening, as the embers of the feastfire flickered, Milim and I sat near the remains of the ruined mountains, watching the faint glimmer of the stars in the distance.
The air was quiet, only the crackling of the fire and the occasional breeze breaking the silence.
Milim, still licking the remnants of honey glaze from her fingers, was leaning back on the rocky ground, staring at the sky.
Her eyes were half-lidded, and she had a rare, peaceful expression.
I glanced at her and exhaled slowly, my voice calm but firm.
"Milim..."
She turned her gaze toward me, blinking slowly.
"Hmm? What is it, Yuuya?"
I gave her a faint, soft smile, though my voice was steady.
"I think it's time for me to go."
For a moment, she didn't react.
She simply stared at me, her eyes slightly wide.
Then, her brows furrowed slightly, and she sat up, tilting her head.
"Go? Go where?" she asked, her tone casual but questioning, as if she didn't quite register my words.
"You'll be back in a few hours, right?"
I shook my head slowly, my eyes soft but resolute.
"No... I mean, leave the kingdom."
I exhaled, running a hand through my hair.
"It's time for me to move on."
Her eyes widened slightly, and for a brief moment, she froze.
Then, she pouted, crossing her arms and scowling deeply.
"Huh?!" She shot up from the ground, clenching her fists.
"You're leaving?! Why? You're not allowed!"
Her voice was tinged with frustration, but there was sadness beneath her tone, poorly veiled by her childish indignation.
She stomped toward me, standing inches from my face, her crimson eyes narrowing.
"No! You can't leave! You're my sparring buddy!" she declared firmly, as if her decree alone could bind me to her side.
Her fists were clenched, and her lips pressed into a thin line.
I smiled faintly, reaching out and placing a hand on her head, ruffling her golden hair gently.
She blinked in surprise, her anger faltering for a brief moment.
"Don't worry, Milim," I said softly.
"You'll see me again. Maybe sooner than you think."
I flashed her a mischievous smirk, my eyes glimmering with certainty.
She stared at me, her eyes slightly damp, though she quickly looked away, trying to mask her sadness with a scowl.
"Hmph! You better come back!" she muttered gruffly, but her voice wavered slightly, betraying her true feelings.
She jabbed a finger into my chest, her eyes narrowing.
"If you take too long, I'll hunt you down and DRAG YOU BACK! Got it?!"
I chuckled softly, shaking my head.
"Got it."
For a moment, neither of us spoke, the crackling fire filling the silence.
Then, suddenly, she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around me in a fierce hug, burying her face into my chest.
Her voice was muffled, barely above a whisper.
"You better not forget me."
I smiled softly, hugging her back, my arms tight around her small frame.
"Never."
The next morning, just after dawn, I stood at the edge of Milim's kingdom.
The horizon was painted gold and violet, the faint hum of the wind brushing against my cloak.
Milim stood a few feet away, arms crossed, still scowling as she watched me.
Her eyes narrowed, but I could see the subtle glimmer of sadness beneath her façade.
Midray, who had come to see me off, gave me a solemn nod, his eyes betraying a rare trace of respect.
"Take care out there, Yuuya," he said firmly, crossing his arms.
"Don't die before we fight."
I smirked slightly, holding out a fist toward him.
"Don't worry. You'll have your chance, big guy."
He grunted, then smirked back, bumping his fist against mine.
"Good. I'll be waiting."
I turned to Milim, who was still pouting, her fists clenched at her sides.
"Hey, don't make that face," I teased, flashing her a boyish grin.
"You're gonna make me feel bad."
She glared at me, eyes narrowing.
"GOOD! You SHOULD feel bad!" she huffed.
Then, her expression softened slightly, and she mumbled,
"Don't be gone too long... okay?"
I smiled softly and nodded.
"I won't."
With a final wave, I teleported away, the Dragon Kingdom vanishing from my sight.
I reappeared on the outskirts of the Great Jura Forest, near the cave where Veldora was sealed.
The forest was calm and quiet, the air thick with magicules.
I walked through the familiar cave, the faint hum of magic emanating from the walls.
The further I descended, the darker it became, but my Abyssal Shroud illuminated the darkness with a faint, crimson glow.
I could feel Veldora's presence, his aura still massive, even while sealed.
As I approached the large chamber, I suddenly heard his booming voice.
"HUMAN! I SENSE YOU!"
The walls vibrated, his thunderous voice echoing through the cavern.
I grinned, striding forward.
"Yo, Veldora!" I called out casually, waving.
"Miss me?"
The massive dragon inside the seal twisted his head, his golden eyes gleaming with recognition.
A wide grin formed across his face, and his thunderous laughter filled the cavern.
"HAHAHA! YUUYA! YOU HAVE RETURNED!"
He roared with glee, his laughter shaking the cave.
"I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME!"
I smirked, cracking my knuckles.
"Forget you? Nah. I just got sidetracked by a certain dragon loli."
His eyes widened slightly.
"YOU FOUGHT MILIM?"
Then, his grin widened further, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"OH HO! TELL ME EVERYTHING!"
I grinned mischievously, walking toward him.
"Heh... you're gonna love this story."
And so, I sat down in front of Veldora, ready to recount my insane battles with Milim and share tales of my growing strength, while my new power hummed within me, stronger than ever.
