After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 11

Ronald was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and his mind was in chaos!

What had he seen? What was that “cat” on the table?!

Fear crawled over him like ten thousand bugs at once. As a level 61 human, with a contracted demon of level 72 Abyss Viscount, how could he not sense the terror of the other party! It was definitely level 80… no, even a monster above level 90!

There was no such high-level existence in his memory, but those eyes were just like…

Ronald shivered all over, stiff at the door, and couldn’t overcome his fear to push the door and investigate again.

Because he could feel that the entity clearly didn’t like his disturbance. If he rashly went in, not to mention the young man who called himself Xiu Si, that entity would definitely… kill him!

Ronald, who had been through many battles, how could he not feel the crisis? What kind of existence had Priest Xilin brought back?!

Meanwhile, inside the antique shop.

Xiu Si’s page-turning hand stopped, and he looked up at the door. Just now, he seemed to have heard the sound of the door being pushed open, but now when he looked, it was snowing heavily outside, the light was dim, but he could vaguely see that the snow was getting bigger and the temperature was dropping even lower. If he wasn’t a player, his body made of magic power, he would definitely be shivering with cold.

“Is there no one?” Xiu Si observed for a while and didn’t find anyone there.

The black cat came over, its soft paw resting on Xiu Si’s hand.

Xiu Si lowered his head, thinking, “Was it just an illusion?”

The cat nodded, walked to the table in front of Xiu Si, and then ran down, as if to warm Xiu Si, it lay down next to his leg, fitting snugly like a warm treasure.

Xiu Si looked at its movements and couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to touch the cat’s head.

In the past, they seemed to have never been alone together, there were always other children around, today was the first time.

The cat comfortably raised its head, its eyes unblinkingly watching him.

“You ask me if I’m okay after these thousands of years?”

Xiu Si was stunned for a moment, then pondered, “I can’t really say, it feels like it’s only been a blink of an eye to today, but it also feels like it’s indeed been thousands of years.”

His death, even he didn’t know how to describe it. Where he went after death, he was also in the dark. If he had to say…

Xiu Si thought for a few minutes, “It’s okay, I probably slipped and fell into the abyss crack, but luckily I survived.”

Abyss crack? The cat’s eyes flashed with thought.

In his father’s description, his death was just an accident.

But was it really an accident? Why did Baal and Beelzebub follow his father, and yet an “accident” still happened.

Xiu Si continued, “But it’s okay, I still survived, a narrow escape from death must be a blessing, right? After tonight, let’s go find Baal first.”

Baal was his first creation, considered the eldest among them. Xiu Si was more confident in Baal, believing that everything would go much smoother once they found Baal.

But he didn’t notice, the cat almost bristled, as if it had a big objection to this!

Speaking of this, Xiu Si suddenly thought of something and asked, “What do you think of the strength of the Aust Empire?”

The cat barely retracted its claws and answered honestly.

“Isn’t it the strength of more than forty ranks? Are there hidden super-strong people in the palace?”

Xiu Si showed an expression of ‘as expected’, saying, “I probably guessed it, the Aust Empire is different from ordinary countries.”

The cat nodded.

It was special, otherwise, the hero Luo Jie wouldn’t have stayed temporarily in the Aust Empire, and even served as a royal exclusive family tutor to enter and exit the palace, helping the empress educate the princess and prince. But very few people knew about this, only a few royals knew.

In addition, if it weren’t for the specialness of the Aust Empire, it and Morax, Inpos wouldn’t have given out contract qualifications, lending power to humans.

The Aust Empire’s own position and the secret of its royal bloodline were what made it different from other countries.

In fact, even if Aelioge didn’t make a move, the Divine Kingdom of Light couldn’t destroy the Aust Empire’s royal city during the day. Not to mention others, the hero Luo Jie would definitely make a move.

“But after today, the retaliation of the Divine Kingdom of Light is inevitable.”

Xiu Si was also worried about this.

The time came to around ten o’clock in the evening.

On the other side, in the garden of the palace, the snow was falling heavily, and the cold was biting.

Luo Jie stood by the dry riverbed, his eyes somewhat vacant, as if he was contemplating something.

At the same time.

Below the abyss.

In the dim hall, the curtain was vaguely covering, and on the wide bed, there seemed to be a slender young man sleeping.

He was wearing a funny eye mask, the pattern outside the eye mask was cartoon eyes, slightly long black hair scattered on the eye mask, the fair skin showed a different high-grade tone under the gray light.

He had no breath at all, like a lifeless puppet, or maybe he was just sleeping deeply. But his sleep of hundreds of years was disturbed by a series of noises, two guys kept contacting him, making a fuss, he was annoyed, and his consciousness gradually woke up.

“Morax, Inpos…”

Vassago took off his eye mask, revealing a pair of deep green eyes, like a deep pool in the forest, with a heavy fog. He blinked, his eyelashes fluttered like green leaves, the chaotic and deep eyes gradually brightened, but the melancholy undertone didn’t lessen at all, it seemed to be because of the morning mood, his slender eyebrows frowned, casting a shadow on his face.

His expression was sad, it had been like this for thousands of years, always as if he had just cried, or maybe he would actually hide and cry. After being woken up, he sat up, listening to the information from Morax and Inpos.

“Let me find Aelioge…?”

Vassago was confused, not understanding why he should help find Aelioge.

Aelioge, contrary to his usual indifference to humans, suddenly became human-loving, what does it matter to him?

Aelioge, that guy, had always loved to follow his father since he was a child. He was weak and pitiful in front of his father, but as soon as his father was not around, he would put on a stern face. He didn’t like Aelioge, or more accurately, he didn’t like any of his siblings. They all had various problems, Morax was hot-tempered, Inpos was reticent and gloomy. He never got along with them, so why would he want to find any of them.

Vassago, as the third born creature, considered all the guys except the first creature Baal and the second creature Agares to be immature brats. He usually holed up in the abyss and didn’t come out, his temperament was lazy, and he often slept for several years at a time, most annoyed by being disturbed.

What did Aelioge do? What did it have to do with him, why should he help find Aelioge.

Vassago had just gotten up for a while, and immediately put on his eye mask and lay back down.

It was meaningless, a world without father was meaningless, it was better to sleep in a dream, perhaps there could still be sweet dreams.

****

On the other side, at the top of the palace castle.

Morax was rejected by Vassago, and couldn’t help but say, “How could he be like this, sleeping all day, Aelioge has changed, and he still wants to continue sleeping, is it that even if father comes out in person, he still wants to sleep all the time!”

Inpos agreed with him, “Vassago is too lazy, he refuses to leave his bed, he has been closed for hundreds of years.”

Their anxiety was useless, they didn’t have the power to find things, the continent was vast, the levels were numerous, they didn’t know how long they would have to look without a goal.

But one thing was certain, Aelioge must have hidden something very important!

“No, Vassago still has to help.”

Morax’s expression was serious.

Inpos agreed. “Just contacting is not enough, we have to go to the abyss to find him.”

So they went to the abyss, all the way to the huge castle where Vassago lived.

****

Near midnight, Xiu Si locked the outside door and finally slept peacefully.

He always slept well, almost as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell asleep, today was no exception, he fell asleep quickly.

This time, he also rarely had a dream, dreaming that he was floating in the high sky among the clouds, his body was extraordinarily light, almost free from gravity. At first he was facing down, the mountains and rivers were all in his eyes, then he turned around and saw the incredibly magnificent and bright sky scenery.

Consciousness was a kite, the body was a reel.

Xiu Si found it hard to describe the feeling this dream brought to him, if he had to say–he seemed to have entered the realm of the gods, feeling an unparalleled freedom.

But after freedom, he saw through the fragile space and looked into the subspace domain behind the surface.

There were demons dancing there, mixed with screams and wails. Countless pairs of huge eyes stared at each other, madly balancing, once the other party relaxed, they would devour the other party.

Subspace, the legendary birthplace of gods, and burial ground, the source of ninety percent of natural disasters, the storage place of endless knowledge, the place where countless human heroes died.

Also, the greatest, most mysterious, and most dangerous place in the universe.

It is said that subspace contains all the answers to life and death, which makes the wise men of all races crazy, succeeding one after another, though dead, still glorious.

Xiu Si originally couldn’t see the subspace, the subspace was a place that could only be seen at least above level 30, but in this ethereal dream, he actually saw it, and saw it so clearly, completely without nausea, madness and other sequelae.

It was as if… he had reached a very high realm, so the scenery that he could only look up to before became the scenery that he could look down at casually.

Dreams are truly magical. Xiu Si mused in his heart, continuing his dream, completely unaware that after he fell asleep, the purity of his magical power around him surged instantly, almost enough to trigger a magic storm.

Thanks to Aelioge being there, he was able to control the situation in time, so as not to be noticed by the palace military.

Aelioge looked at the magic particles, as if in thought, as if he was more certain of something.

He thought to himself, this time he must protect his father well, he will not let his father die alone again.

The cat’s eyes were deep, next to the creator, his eyelids slightly pulled, as if he was plotting something.

To prevent his father from being spied on, he specifically put down a prohibition, so that other beings would only think of his father as an ordinary person.

****

On the other side. Below the abyss.

Morax and Inpos broke into the castle without any hindrance. The abyss monsters in Vassago’s castle were all strong abyss species, but they gave up without a fight when they faced them.

Abyss monsters have a higher sensitivity to level differences than humans, higher than any creature. No matter what creature it was, as long as it lived in extreme danger every day, it could always be forced to evolve a high sensitivity instinct to danger.

Morax was not polite, he broke several high-level magic circles with his bare hands, and walked straight into Vassago’s bedroom.

With all this noise, how could Vassago not wake up.

Vassago took off his eye mask, his magic power was almost bursting, his deep green eyes stared deadly at the two uninvited guests.

“I said you guys go find Aelioge yourselves.”

Morax said, “Vassago, he must have hidden something, only by finding him can we know.”

Vassago snorted, “What he hid, is it important to me.”

Morax was about to further persuade.

Inpos suddenly looked up, “Yeah, to put it bluntly, what is worth hiding for Aelioge!”

Vassago paused, frowning, “What do you mean.”

Morax’s face changed immediately, “Yeah, the only thing Aelioge would value so much is…”

Vassago was about to question, when his face suddenly changed.

What Aelioge would value so much – it’s only father!
