Chapter 1159 Charging Through The Abyss [Part 1]
"Did you find them?!"
"I saw them running this way earlier!"
"You, you, and your men go that way! The rest come with me!"
Several guards mobilized in order to hunt the two fugitives who had tried to enter the portal of the 106th Layer of the Abyss.
Since Marchosias was ordered to check what happened to the Sentinels of the 14th Floor, he had no choice but to report their findings to Daniel.
They didn't see anyone at the camping site, and there seemed to be no evidence of a struggle. This was an irregularity in itself because the Sentinels weren't allowed to go anywhere because their duty was to check if there would be any changes in the portal that would lead to the 13th Layer of the Abyss.
The fact that none of the stationed guards could be seen proved that something, or someone, had erased them from existence.
Although Marchosias had turned a blind eye on the two humans he had met along the way, he was still duty bound to report his finding, especially since there were many eyes watching him.
After receiving the report, Daniel immediately sent a decree to all the Leaders of each layer to increase the security of the portals that led to the other Layers of the Abyss.
"Did you find them?" the Guard Captain asked.
"No," another Guard replied. "They might have hidden somewhere else."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Continue searching! If you can't find them, Sir Axton will have our heads!"
"Right away, Captain!"
When all the guards disappeared in the alleyway, James finally made his move. He was still hiding under the Invisibility Blanket and carrying Sleipnir.
However, one of the Calamity Ranked Monsters guarding the portal that led to the 107th Layer had thermal vision. Meaning, it could see the heat signatures of anyone within its line of sight.
When it saw James trying to sneak in into the portal, it immediately attacked, forcing the Old Bandit to run away, and the entire Abyssal City went on high alert.
Of course, James could have taken a gamble and crossed the portal right away, but this might have consequences that he wasn't ready to take.
Ever since Daniel took command of the Abyss, he had imposed strict guidelines when it came to the use of the Portals. Because of this, the other Monsters who could once freely travel to different layers of the Abyss had no choice but to do it the hard way.
They would assemble groups of Monsters and charge towards the Portal at the same time. Some of them might get captured, but a handful would be able to pass through the gateway that would lead them to the next layer.
Because of this, James was just treated as one of these annoying pests, who had tried to sneak himself through the portal.
Offenders were usually imprisoned for a few days as a warning, and repeated offenders would be imprisoned for life.
Of course, there were others who were given explicit permission to cross between the different layers like Marchosias, who served as one of Daniel's lackeys.
They were the only ones that could move between the Layers of the Abyss unchallenged, which was why many Abyssal Lords coveted becoming one of Daniel's direct subordinates.
"What should we do?" James asked his shadow. "The security in front of the portals have now increased. I doubt we will be able to get past them using my Invisibility Blanket."
Lux appeared beside James and frowned. They had managed to sneak past the security on the other Layers because no one could see invisible creatures.
"It's a bit risky, but I do have a plan," Lux stated. "But, for this to happen, we need to get as close to the portal as possible."
"That won't be too much of a problem," James replied. "As long as I don't appear in the line of sight of that One-Eyed Colossus, we will be fine."
Lux nodded before calling out a name.
"Avernus, it's your time to shine."
Red flames burst out beside Lux, and the Dracolich appeared in his Demi-human form.
"Let me guess, you want me to serve as a distraction?" Avernus asked. "Yes," Lux replied. "Do not summon any of your Legion. I got that covered, just deal as much damage as you can in the city, and force everyone to look in your direction.
"Sounds simple enough." Avernus nodded. "I'll wait until the two of you appear near the portal. Just give me the signal when you want me to start."
Lux and James nodded before the Half-Elf once again merged with the Old Man's shadow. James then headed near the location of the portal as fast as he could, while making sure to keep track of the One-Eyed Colossus' line of sight. The Old Bandit's eyepatch could see through walls, so it was very easy for him to see where the monster was looking. After making sure that they were hidden properly, Lux gave the signal to Avernus to start his performance.
As soon as Avernus received the order, he immediately transformed into his Dracolich Form and roared, making everyone in the city become aware of his presence.
Lux then summoned several Tombstones that dropped in various locations near Avernus.
A second later, countless hordes of zombies emerged from the Tombstones and started to wreak havoc in their surroundings.
The Half-Elf also decided to add Lazarus to the mix, and the Ancient Flame Skull unleashed a barrage of spells in every direction, causing sections of the city to start to burn.
Avernus then unleashed a Dragon's Breath, targeting the One-Eyed Colossus, and forced it to focus its attention on him.
"Hey, you!" Avernus shouted. "Yes you, the one with the single eye on his head. You look like a D*ck!"
The Colossus roared in anger and charged at Avernus with its weapon ready to strike. The other Demigods of the City had also noticed the disturbance, so all of them flew towards the Dracolich with the intention of ripping it apart.
James, who was the opportunistic person that he was, didn't hesitate to run towards the portal in order to go to the next Layer.
Since Avernus and Lazarus were in the Abyss, it was very easy for Lux to summon them anytime.
However, just as soon as they emerged on the other side of the Portal, which was the 107th Floor, they found themselves staring at two Demigods, who seemed to be waiting for their arrival.
"Looks like we found ourselves the troublemakers," one Demigod, who looked like a Wyvern, said.
"You're right," the other Demigod, who looked like a Manticore, commented. "Do you think Lord Daniel will be happy if we hand these two fools to him?"
"Definitely. We might become one of his Honored Guards."
"Sounds good."
The two Demigods then unleashed their aura with the intention of forcing James to the ground. f reenovelkiss.com
However, just as soon as they decided to fight the old man who had appeared in their midst, James smirked and summoned his Silver Spear in his hand.
"Looks like we need to bruteforce ourselves out of this one," James stated.
"I agree," Lux replied as he emerged from James' shadow. "Well then, let's end this as quickly as possible."
Without another word, the two charged towards the two Demigods, who didn't know who they were dealing with.
Before they could even react, a Silver Spear pierced the forehead of one of the Demigods, while the other one found himself staring at ALL-MITE, whose flaming fist smashed through its face, and sent it flying for hundreds of meters in the air.
