To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 127: Battle of the Long Night (2)

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucck!"

Jared screamed as he tried to piece half of his body in half.

A slash cut open his body from right shoulder through the middle of his chest. 

The part of his body that split open revealed a black space that did not belong to a human.

If he is a normal human, he would not survive that attack. But he is a Foolish Demon, so as long as his Devil Seed didn't get cut, he could take any fatal blow to his body.

But of course, he still didn't accept the treatment he got from his previous enemy. 

"Fvck that bitch!"

Slowly but surely, his body reunited as if he had no injuries. 

Even so, the current regeneration speed is extremely slow. When in normal circumstances, he can instantly regenerate all the shattered parts of his body.

It happened because of the extremely strong trail of mana from the wounds he got.

[Blue Clarity]. Ulterior Phantasm of the Blue Sky Sword. With the powerful sword is in Sylvia Shield's hands, tt is said that the attack is stronger than [Red Judgment] of Ren Li's Red Sky Spear or [Black Renounce] of Unknown Hunter's Black Sky Arch.

Now Jared can't underestimate the rumors.

"First my two hands by that motherfvcker in the dungeon! Now my body by that bitch!"

The wounds he received from the dungeon battles still remain. It was so strong that the trail of mana from the wound didn't seem to allow him to repair his two hands.

"If it weren't for him, that bitch wouldn't be able to touch me before!"

The context is his two hands. Because of the scar from the dungeon, Jared couldn't use his strength properly.

The Sword Master of the Church. 

"Just who is that bastard?!"

If people as strong and aggressive as him are in the church, it will be difficult for them to carry out the prepared plan.

"Hah, as long as I can direct him to that 'brat', he sure can't do much!"

Jared has finished regenerating his body, now he can stand up straight.

"Fuuuuuuccckk! It's so good to be back to normal!"

Normal in terms of his current condition.

Ready to continue the plan, Jared faced turned back. His places now is in a place where there is only darkness everywhere. But in front of him now there are many silhouettes, soldiers of darkness that he commanded.

"Alright, fvckers! Let's get out from this place and fvcked that shitty town!"

As Jared's command, the entire black shadow that was previously motionless, emitted a red light from their eyes.

Another major assault will be launched on the town.

___________

Shield Town / East District

The four young knights run as fast as they can to reach the Stairs of Serenity.

While on the road, the twins thought of something.

"Hey, do you think they will target the Church?!" "Yeah, if that's true, then the church will be in big danger!"

Kane wants to answer their worries, but he chose to wait for their leader instead. 

Aiden is the most appropriate person to talk between them in that kind of situation.

"If those three boss monsters only the beginning of the assault, then most likely yes, they will also attack the church."

Aiden's quick estimation sounds make sense. But there is one question if that situation really happens. 

"The church is at the highest point in the Land of Honor!" "Do you think they'll break out of the East District first and then climb the Stairs of Serenity?"

"If they really intend to attack the church, yes, they have to do that. But of course, the strongest hunter of this town will not let that 

The Major of the Town, Bearer of the Blue Sky Sword, Sylvia Shield. 

Aiden's words calmed them down.

They don't know how long the fight will last, but they are ready to fight with all their might to defend their home.

___________

Guild of the Abyss / North Hall

The entire town's hunters had dispersed out of the building. Ready to beat the shit out of the three monster bosses. Leaving behind the Major and a group that has business with the Major.

A group led by another Diamond Hunter, Jade Rodgers, the Bearer of Green Sky Shield. An old acquaintance of Sylvia Shield. 

When she is about to face Mayor of the Town, Jade's men stopped following her. Let the two great leaders talk in private.

Sylvia wearing a helmet. Either she didn't notice Jade's arrival, Jade greeted her.

"Long time no see, Sylvia."

Sylvia finally looks at Jade's after being greeted. 

"Oh, it's you, Jade."

"Why so cold, didn't we make a good memory in the past fight together?"

In her helmet, Jade didn't know what expression Sylvia had on her arrival. Actually, meetings between Diamond Hunters are very rare. 

Because Floor 2 is narrow and new resources are drained, it's not uncommon for their groups to come into conflict with each other.

But their group is different, Sylvia Shield never went outside her territory. Jade will always provide news if she wants to visit Shield Town.

They weren't good friends, but they didn't hate each other either. Just instill the intention not to offend or hurt each other.

But the situation is different when they faced each other after a long time now. 

Jade could feel the great awkwardness between them.

"On what business do you come to me? If you just want to say hello, you can do that later when this is all over."

Sylvia spoke cold words to her colleague.

Jade's men heard that and certainly made them unhappy. That is like an insult given to the kindness of their leader.

However, Jade used to the coldness of her past colleagues. 

She just smiled casually at Sylvia's coldness. Then, in an instant, she wore a serious face that could be said to be incompatible with her soft, beautiful face.

"Are you serious about devoting half of the town's strength to take care of those three boss monsters?"

About 3000 compatible Hunters came out to fight. Of course, that number is combined with the visitor Hunter. 

Sylvia left half the strength of her family and restrained herself from participating in that initial battle. 

Of course, Jade also counted herself in half the town's remaining strength. But she still a little hesitant about the decisions made by her old colleagues.

"I know this is just a bait for the next assault. I will also help if your district got attacked. But isn't it a little arrogant of you to think the two of us are enough to protect half of this town? Plus, have you also thought of anything if they were targeting the church?"

Those questions are all restlessness in Jade. She knows Sylvia would be able to answer all that question, so she is waiting for it. 

However, there is a pause of about 30 seconds as Sylvia fell silent. Thirty seconds is a small number, but in that situation, thirty seconds felt like an hour.

"He y."

"The power I put out only accounts for 30% of the total power this town has now."

Jade thought Sylvia had just fallen asleep. It turned out that she is thinking about an answer to her question just now.

"So we still have 70% remaining power? That is good then."

"They surely are going to attack east district, but east district are ready to face that challenge."

Jade knows that the east district is a district that runs independently without a single man living there. So she is both surprised and amazed at Sylvia's statement.

"Then how about the church?"

"If they want to touch the church, they have to get pass my corpse first."

Sylvia is completely confident in her strength. Even in her words, there was a statement that she didn't need Jade's help.

"But your enemy is the Demon King Commander. It might be the same one as in the Seven Colour Mountain, the Wrath Golem."

A monster as big as a mountain that could ground down a territory. Without the Greedy Young Master, perhaps the entire territory of the Seven Color Mountain would be destroyed simultaneously in its collapse.

"Even in the past, the Sword Saint gets into trouble to face one of them."

Demon King Commander is the strongest level of monsters recorded in Hunter's history. 

Even though their appearances are very rare, when they appear it is certain that a bigger battle than the Catastrophe Event will occur.

Even in the past, the Hunters needed the strength of the strongest man, Sword Saint, to face that disaster.

"I'm not insecure, but at least I don't want you to involve your subordinates in the fight."

"You do not have to worry. My subordinates are all strong. We will face this problem and minimize the damage in the smallest percentage."

Sylvia said that as she walked to leaves Jade to exit the guild building.

The Major of the City has made her mind. There's nothing more Jade can do about it.

Yes, that is an arrogance of a leader, and that is natural. Even so, she would still intend to help them when things got worse.

Just when they thought things would go according to their expectations, one of Sylvia's subordinates ran inside with a terrified face.

"Leader, the church being attacked!"

A most unthinkable thing happened.
