Escape the Infinite Chambers

Chapter 200 - Valiant Battle (XVIII)

Editor: Humu

Duan Li hugged Ah Lan and pushed him to the corner together with Luo Feng. In the passing, he dragged the badly mutilated Ying on the ground there as well. In order to avoid being affected by the scuffle of the several people in the church, Duan Li had to protect Ah Lan who was seriously injured and unconscious. Therefore, they could only crouch in the corner and wait for everything to end in silence.

But at this time, Clown who disappeared after he met the priest in the church appeared out of thin air. When Duan Li and others asked where he had gone, Clown replied, “I didn’t go around much. I just went to explore the church.”

“So, what did you gain?”

Clown hesitated for a moment, shaking his head as if he was regretful, “Nothing, but I found that there are more and more monsters outside the church. They all seem to want to come in, but they are afraid of something.”

Ah Lan, who had been held in Duan Li’s arms, opened his eyes. He seemed to be awake for a while but soon closed his eyes again.

On the other side, Abyss was under the attack of two stalkers. He was doing quite well when dealing with Xing Yan. Abyss was very familiar with the attack mode of Xing Yan. But Nie Cong was really not very easy to deal with. He couldn’t touch the enemy. It was better not to touch him with any weapons because anything that touched this person would turn into nothingness in his hands.

So when the two strong stalkers joined hands to deal with Abyss, the possibility of Abyss’s defeat was great. Abyss did not want to hurt Xing Yan at all. They fought in the Ancient Remains instance before, and Abyss also did not want to hurt him at that time. In the end, they decided to knock him out back then. But now, Abyss couldn’t find a chance to make Xing Yan faint.

Compared to Abyss who was exercising caution, Xing Yan did not care about Abyss at all. His attack became more and more ferocious, and his strength got stronger and stronger. Abyss felt upset inwardly and felt his hands shaking when he took up his weapon. He knew that the secret chamber’s will had reached its goal. It had hoped that Abyss and his cherished comrades would mutually annihilate one another.

The strongest one did not need to be fettered.

That was why Abyss felt that he could never be the so-called strongest.

He would rather be a tiny ant as small as the sand that was hard to identify on the ground. At least ants had a chance to live happily with their relatives and friends. However, in this terrifying space, Abyss couldn’t see any hope.

All along, he had been too strong. And because of this, until the very last moment, Abyss began to feel afraid. Fear shrouded his heart. He could not help but deliberate about what he should do if he wouldn’t be able to accomplish his task at hand, and what to do if the outcome was different from his imagination?

There was no chance to restart, no room to retreat.

Abyss was very scared.

However, no one could understand his fear. What he showed in front of everyone was how strong and how gentle he was. He was strong but restrained. Everyone knew of his strength, and everyone trusted him to do it. Even he thought that he could do it.

But what if he couldn’t? In case he failed, the result would be horrifying. As long as he thought that this step he took was related to the fate of everyone in the future, Abyss was almost unable to move. He was eager to be comforted by the people he loves, but he always had a cold face in front of Xing Yan.

At that very moment, he almost couldn’t hold back his tears.

However, in reality, Abyss merely calmly picked up his weapon to block the attack from the two stalkers in front of him. His inner fear and cries could not be revealed on his face. His self-esteem and firm attitude did not allow this. He should be everyone’s pillar.

So, how could he cry?

If he couldn’t cry, what should he do now?

If the most powerful person was destined to abandon all emotions, all fetters, and all things sentimental.

So what would I become?

The true battle of life and death actually took place over a few minutes, but it felt like centuries long. The noises and fighting in the church finally ceased. Finally, it was Abyss who was still standing on the stairs. He won again.

In fact, he did not know how he won. It seemed that he had entered a state of selflessness, which allowed him to return to the state when he was in Asura Realm. Throughout the numb battling and fighting, Abyss would no longer feel the pain.

“It’s not over yet.” The priest stood calmly and leisurely under the crucifixion, peeping at Abyss under his hood. “They’re not dead. You have to kill them.”

Nie Cong and Xing Yan were only beaten half-dead by Abyss. Although they were badly injured, they did not die.

The numb Abyss turned his head and looked at the priest with extremely cold eyes. The look in his eyes made the priest couldn’t help but shiver. But this was illogical. The priest was not human. How could the priest feel fear like how a human being would?

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. The priest raised his head slightly and continued to say leisurely, “Kill them.”

Abyss did not act, but said coldly, “Give me the lock.”

It seemed that such a simple battle had quietly changed something or completely morphed Abyss into something beyond anyone’s knowledge.

Only a few minutes had passed, but at this moment, Abyss’s eyes, look, and even the tone of his voice were so cold that a chill ran behind their backs. Obviously, the child’s appeared just like a weak child. Before that, he was just an ordinary man who was strong but had the tenderness of an ordinary person.

But now, the priest suddenly felt that this man was no longer the previous Abyss. He seemed to be a different person, and some unknown soul had replaced him in his body. From his top to his bottom, he had completely transformed his appearance into a terrifying appearance.

No, I shouldn’t have emotions like fear.

The priest insisted, “You have to kill the enemies to get the reward.”

Abyss raised the corner of his mouth and pulled out a sneer. The smile appeared crueller and colder now. The priest felt a layer of goosebumps on his back merely because of the other party’s smile.

Abyss said, “Kill the enemies? Sure, if you put out all the rewards you can give me.”

The priest was a little stupefied, and looked at the exhibition cabinet beside him, “Isn’t the reward right in front of you?”

Abyss slightly raised his head, face disdainful, “This is not enough!”

The priest hesitated for a moment. “What else do you want?”

“Give me the cube, too.” Abyss seemed greedy, like a snake that wanted to swallow an elephant. The smile on the face was somewhat twisted, “I want the entire secret chamber!”

He spoke arrogantly, but the secret chamber’s will seemed to really believe in his words. Then, a data disorder was projected in the priest’s body. Thereafter, the priest’s projection was directly controlled by the secret chamber’s will. He changed his tone to a mechanical tone and answered Abyss. However, even the secret chamber’s will did not know that its voice was mixed with excitement that only human beings had.

“Alright, I’ve already tasked someone to get the cube delivered.”

“As long as you kill everyone present here, I will sign a lifetime contract with you and invite you to be the master of the secret chamber.”

Yes, the secret chamber’s will knew that it succeeded and successfully created a cold-blooded and ruthless powerhouse with the strongest strength, which was in line with its ideal of the strongest. This was what it wanted and this was its ultimate goal. Today, it could almost achieve it!

When it came to this backward space-time and sucked in these backward and small human beings, its disappointment would not dissipate......

But today, the secret chamber felt that it did not need to be disappointed.

Right by here, there was a body seeping in blood. It was Abyss, with a hand holding a blade that gave it renewed hope!

“Luo Jian!”

However, Duan Li, who witnessed everything nearby, could not help calling out. Maybe it was because Abyss’s demeanor had thoroughly changed, and that made them all uneasy. They could not help but call out his name.

Abyss merely turned back and gave them a glance.

“To establish the contract, I have to kill these people, right?” Abyss muttered in a low voice as if he was talking to himself.

However, the secret chamber replied, “Yes, regardless of whatever way you use.”

“When will the cube arrive?”

“About five minutes later.” The secret chamber’s will spoke in a passionate manner, which was unprecedented.

“I’ll start with the appetizer, then.” Abyss shook the blade in his hand and dragged the tip of the blade toward Duan Li and the others. As he took one step at a time, his momentum surged fiercely. A wave of terrifying killing intent rushed to their faces.

Duan Li and Luo Feng looked at each other at the same time, and they both felt that the current situation they were in was horrible.

“Luo Jian......What’s the matter with him?”

Clown looked at Abyss who was charging towards them. He replied, “Isn’t it obvious, he chose the secret chamber and intends to abandon us.”

“How could that be possible?” Luo Feng was the first one who expressed he did not believe this, “Luo Jian is not that kind of person!”

“How do you know he’s not that kind of person?” Clown also had a provocative sneer on his face. “The burden on him is too heavy. It’s time to throw it away and have a good time.”

When Clown said this, Abyss had already walked in front of him, and Clown did not dodge. He looked straight into Abyss’s eyes. The child’s cold eyes made Clown sigh. Clown knew that this man was pushing himself too hard, and he carried too many burdens on himself, and that was why he could no longer stand it now.

One day, the burden would crush him. He would collapse, suddenly turn hostile, and he would trample on these burdens under his feet, just like what the current Abyss was doing.

“Your reward is already at the door.” Clown lowered his voice and said to Abyss very gently. But as soon as he finished his sentence, Abyss had already pulled out his blade and slashed Clown’s head.

Clown’s head was separated, and blood splashed everywhere. It splashed on Duan Li and Luo Feng beside him.

Both of them were stunned.

In the beginning, they all thought that Abyss would never do kill them. Even if Abyss walked in front of them, they were sure that the other party would never kill them. This was impossible. It would never be something that someone like Abyss would do.

But such a thing happened in front of their eyes.

Abyss did not care what they thought and went straight to Duan Li. Duan Li was still holding Ah Lan tightly in his arms. However, it was not known when Feng YuLan woke up. He reached out and grabbed Duan Li’s clothes and sat up next to him.

Then Ah Lan turned back to look at Abyss and said something strange. He said, “The cycle......do you want it to repeat?”

“For the last time.” Abyss answered him and his blade went down.

Duan Li closed his eyes at the last moment and only cared about holding the man in his arms tightly. He deliberated about certain matters for a long time. He remembered that long ago, he also tried so hard to hold such a person tightly.

At this time, a man came through the door of the church. He was a very tall humanoid monster who was wearing strange armor. The armor appeared like a living creature. It was lying on his body, and it even trembled slightly. The monster held a cube glowing with dark blue light in his hand.

When the monster came in with the cube, Abyss had just killed his cousin. The priest stood at the stairs, extremely emotional. All his attention was focused on Abyss’s body. He urged Abyss, “Hurry up, please kill them. The moment is coming!”

Abyss turned back to glance at the priest, and lowered his head to gaze at the dying Ying on the floor. Ying’s breath was weak, and he couldn’t form a complete word. Abyss hesitated for some time before he said, “I’ll see you again under the setting sun.”

As a response to this remark, the badly mutilated Ying barely gave him a smile on his face that one could hardly see as a reply to him.

After killing all these people, Abyss returned to the priest’s side and was prepared to chop down the two half-dead stalkers on the ground. He first swiped Nie Cong’s neck with a knife. And at the very moment, the poor man closed his eyes. This was a blessing for him. Death was something he felt at happy and pleasant to receive.

Then Abyss went to Xing Yan’s side. He lowered his head to look at the man who had fallen on the ground, and suddenly turned his head to look at the strange humanoid monster who had arrived with the cube.

The monster was three meters tall. It looked like a human that had strong limbs and muscles. A special avant-garde armor was wrapped all over its body. There were only two black holes in its helmet. A line of sight peeked out from it.

The monster holding the cube went directly to the side of Abyss and even presented the cube to Abyss. He held the cube in his hand as if he was waiting for something.

“Hehe......Hahahaha......”Abyss suddenly could not help but laugh.
