I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 25

Lu Mi closed his eyes, and his mental power left his body, slowly probing into the mouth of the lamp.

After a moment of darkness, the light suddenly brightened.

The sound of a river flowing “whoosh” sounded in his ears, and Lu Mi opened his eyes.

What appeared before him was a vast and magnificent landscape—

The sky was a dark red, and in front of him was a boundless turbulent river. On the shore, beautiful red flowers bloomed, spreading like burning clouds towards the horizon.

There was a different world inside this lamp.

However, this scene…he felt like he had heard about it somewhere before…

Lu Mi couldn’t help but show a thoughtful expression.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of an outsider, countless flowers suddenly shook, and the bright red petals fluttered down.

With the sudden gust of wind, like a pouring rain, they splashed towards Lu Mi.

He stood in place, waved his hand to summon a silver spear, and silver-blue electric arcs splashed from the spear, breaking all the petals.

In the darkness, someone’s whisper came—

“This guy looks tough to deal with…”

“That’s right!”

“But we won’t give up, let’s try this move!”

“Yes, let’s try this move!”

The two voices echoed each other in the noisy wind, barely discernible, but it drew Lu Mi’s glance in that direction.

The next second, he saw the restless river surge up, and a giant skeleton as tall as dozens of floors slowly stood up from the towering waves.

The skeleton’s bones were clearly visible, casting an ominous cold light under the crimson sky. Cold river water fell like a waterfall from the gaps in its skeleton, and two clusters of ghostly blue fire suddenly lit up in its eye sockets.

Then, the skeleton raised its large hand, the sky suddenly darkened, and it pressed down towards Lu Mi on the shore like a mountain.

Boom——

Its pale hand pressed hard on the ground, and dust rose instantly.

The two people in the darkness were startled, and immediately cheered—

“We did it!”

“That’s right, we won…”

The latter’s words abruptly stopped.

Because he suddenly noticed another slender figure falling in front of them.

The latter’s pupils contracted sharply, and he slowly turned his head back, while his partner was still chattering, oblivious.

Behind them, a young man with silver eyes stood with a spear, looking at the two people squatting in the flower bush with interest.

Seeing one of the teenagers turn his head, the young man with silver eyes smiled slightly and said leisurely, “What are you talking about that’s so fun? Why not include me?”

“…..Gah!” The other teenager finally reacted at this moment.

In the distance, the rigid giant skeleton suddenly made a “crack” sound, and then dense cobwebs climbed onto its body, instantly shattered into dust and sank into the river.

In the loud noise, the two teenagers looked at the empty river in the distance, then at Lu Mi close at hand, and the next second, they hugged each other and started crying.

“We, we surrender!”

“That’s right, we can’t win, don’t hurt us…”

“…”

Lu Mi squatted down, looking at the two people.

These two teenagers looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, they seemed to be brothers, and they looked almost exactly the same. Their skin was dark brown, they had a pair of gold and silver heterochromatic eyes, and they wore gold ornaments all over their bodies, their clothes full of exotic atmosphere.

The only difference was that the teenager on the left wore a metal arm ring on his left, and the one on the right was the opposite.

Combining the familiar scenery he had seen before, Lu Mi slowly said, “You…are fairies, aren’t you?”

Just like the abyss had demons and Zergs, the existence called “fairy” was also one of the countless different species in the abyss.

But the fairies of the abyss were definitely not the flower fairies or sprites in fairy tales. They were known as messengers of death, born from the corpses and death energy of countless dead creatures in the abyss.

Legend had it that the souls of all the monsters that die in the abyss would gather in a river called the River of Death. Just like the River of Styx in mythology, this river surrounds and separates the southern area of the abyss.

All along, the monsters outside could not enter the southern area, and the creatures in the southern area could not come out—except for the fairies. They were the only abyss creatures that could fly across the River of Death, although no one knew the principle to this day.

All of this was what Lu Mi had heard from Alonfus. This demon was always keen on collecting various secrets in the abyss and telling him, and unknowingly he also knew a lot.

Lu Mi put away his silver spear and slowly stood up.

As far as he knew, black skin, heterochromatic eyes, and the ability to fly without wings were all characteristics of fairies, but they were not a race that liked to fight, and their numbers were very scarce, they generally never left the southern area.

“Why are you here? You don’t like places outside the southern area, do you.” He looked around, especially at the endless river, “These sceneries are illusions, right? Since you deliberately decorated the inside of the lamp to look like the River of Death, why not go back early.”

“…He knows our origins!” The teenager on the left exclaimed in surprise.

This time, the other teenager did not echo him, but looked at Lu Mi with bright eyes.

“We accidentally got lost, can you send us back?” He suddenly said.

“Go, go back!?” The teenager on the left looked at his brother in shock, “But we…!”

But they hadn’t found the young master who had fallen into the abyss rift.

Now the southern area was in chaos, and all kinds of races, big and small, had become the target of that monster’s enslavement.

In order to find their young master and save their tribe, the two of them had managed to escape from there with great difficulty!

However, the teenagers thought of the other members of their tribe who were still struggling in the abyss, and couldn’t help but fall silent.

Lu Mi looked at the two of them, who obviously had something to hide, but he didn’t ask further.

He wasn’t interested in other people’s secrets.

“Have you been hiding in this lamp all along?” Lu Mi asked casually, “Then why did those who got you before spread rumors?”

“Who knows, we’ve never been out.” The teenager on the left was the first to speak, his head drooping listlessly, “But we have an innate death aura on us, some humans, after getting this lamp, for some reason, even hug the lamp while sleeping and constantly inexplicably ask us to fulfill their wishes…”

“That’s right.” The teenager on the right continued, a hint of disgust subtly showing in his expressionless face, “They hugged and licked the lamp, and the death aura went into their mouths, and then the human body couldn’t bear it and got sick.”

“Human bodies are really fragile!” The teenager on the left slightly recovered his spirits and exclaimed, then glanced at Lu Mi and suddenly stopped, “Wait…you don’t have horns or wings, you can’t be…”

Because it was Lu Mi’s spiritual body entering this world in the lamp, his aura was not obvious, but he didn’t have any characteristics of abyss creatures, enough for the two of them to react at this time.

…Hu, human?

They had thought that those who could enter here should be their fellow beings from the abyss!

The two teenagers couldn’t help but open their mouths wide, as if they were seeing the human race in their eyes for the first time, and they couldn’t even speak.

Not caring about the two people’s dumbfounded expressions, Lu Mi nodded to himself, “I roughly understand the situation, I can send you back, but you still need to wait for a while.”

The two rifts he had in his hand were not leading to the southern area, so even if they went back, they would need to travel most of the way. Considering the two people’s strength, they might also need to arrange for someone to escort them. The best situation would be to find a rift that went directly into the southern area, but that really depends on luck.

But overall, the difficulty was not great, considering that the two of them rarely caused trouble in the mortal world, it was just a matter of convenience.

Hearing that there was hope, the two teenagers immediately didn’t care about Lu Mi’s human identity, after all, they had been stranded in the mortal world for more than a few years, where would they care about this day or two.

Lu Mi waved his hand to clear the river surface, revealing a passage to the mirror world, “Can you leave here, this lamp has become the target of the Extraordinaries Guild, I came here because of this.”

“We can, we can.” The two of them looked at Lu Mi’s move and echoed in unison, at the same time they couldn’t help but look at each other with great relief.

Fortunately, the young man with silver eyes gave them other choices, otherwise, if the other party really decided to catch them all and hand them in, they would have no confidence that they could escape again!

As the mirror space opened, the two teenagers slowly walked towards the entrance.

And at the same time, the people who had been temporarily staying in the mirror world just happened to look over because of the suddenly opened entrance.

Neither of the two teenagers seemed to have expected that this space was not empty.

As if countless terrifying beasts were resurrected, the hair-raising aura burst out from the world inside the mirror in groups.

Caught off guard, the two teenagers abruptly stopped.

Especially the most conspicuous Zerg army with a large number of them, the fierce and evil gazes that came all at once, instantly made the teenagers feel the terror of the top predators.

They were like exposed fish on a chopping board, directly retreating a step in shock, their eyes full of horror.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Mi curiously peeked a glance, then seemed to react, and casually added, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, these are my partners, you don’t need to be afraid.”

“…!”

The two teenagers didn’t answer, they stared straight at the world inside the mirror.

Inside, a large number of Zerg troops were standing in orderly rows, ready to go as if they could set off at any time.

In fact, as a tribe that had just been incorporated under Lu Mi’s command, they were in a state of constant readiness, waiting for Lu Mi’s order at all times.

So when they realized that the one who came was not the young man with silver eyes, they couldn’t help but cast a reproachful look at the two teenagers.

The two fairies had never experienced such a scene before, even the enemies that had forced them to flee from the southern area back then, the current military might was probably not much less intimidating.

Seeing this, Lu Mi stepped forward, gently placed his hand on the shoulders of the two of them, and looked up at the crowd and said, “They——”

Halfway through his sentence, Lu Mi suddenly lowered his head, “What are your names?”

The two teenagers huddled closer to Lu Mi in fear, seemingly considering him as their only reliance. However, in an instant, the gazes gathered on them seemed even hotter.

The teenager on the left whispered, “Left Law.”

The teenager on the right pursed his lips, “Right Law.”

Lu Mi nodded, and continued to the crowd, “They will be with me for a while, it shouldn’t be too long.”

He looked up at the white-haired demon, “Jiabo, they will be temporarily handed over to you, get them familiarized.”

After all, the mirror world was Jiabo’s home court, and Jizhou and the Zerg army needed to be taken care of.

The named white-haired demon slowly nodded his head, indicating obedience to the order. Then, he leaned half of his body against a mirror, bent one leg, lazily propped up his forehead, and looked at the obviously from the fairy race teenagers in the distance——

…Another two.

Not far behind the demon, the red dragon who was taking a small rest just lifted its eyelids, and didn’t care about these little things that were obviously not enough to fill the gap of its teeth.

The red dragon turned and enthusiastically bowed to Lu Mi, crawling all the way with a fur ball in its mouth that it didn’t know where it had picked up.

Lu Mi took the fur ball out of the red dragon’s mouth and threw it out again, and the red dragon immediately excitedly wagged its tail and chased after the fur ball in the air, running to pick it up.

This back and forth was a matter of course, obviously not the first time Lu Mi had done this.

Seeing this, the two teenagers following behind Lu Mi finally took a cold breath.

…Zerg, demon, dragon…

They suddenly felt a little scared to look at the young man with silver eyes in front of them.

With so many monsters gathered around him, was he really still a human???

Unconsciously, what kind of ship had they boarded!?

………

By the time Lu Mi came out of the lamp, the giant ship had just docked.

On the dock, Grant clung to Lu Mi’s hand with reluctance, his eyes full of tears.

The bodyguards behind him were like facing a great enemy, fearing that the teenager would be completely bewitched by the young man with silver eyes and want to follow him.

In fact, there was a moment when Grant really thought so, but he quickly calmed down.

“If you ever come to Santvanto, remember to find me in the capital, the Vilvize family.”

“Young Master!” The bodyguards couldn’t believe, the teenager that was hiding his identity all the way, but in the end chose to generously tell an unknown person his family name.

Salien, who was standing next to him, raised an eyebrow in surprise when he heard this.

He had guessed that the teenager was not simple, but he didn’t expect that he was actually from the Santvanto Empire.

The Santvanto Empire was one of the most powerful and prosperous empires in the entire alliance, and what made it most special was that—Santvanto was the headquarters of the Extraordinaries Guild.

That is to say, all the most powerful extraordinaries in the world are gathered there…

Of course, Salien originally thought so too, but after meeting Lu Mi, he suddenly started to doubt him.

“I won’t tell anyone.” Salien didn’t stick around like Grant, he said straightforwardly, “I will keep your matters in my heart.”

Lu Mi just smiled without saying a word, he wasn’t really worried about this.

Salien was silent for a moment, and then he chuckled lightly.

“The underworld is the place with the most informed news, I’m waiting for the day in the future——”

“When your name echoes throughout the world.”

He believed that day wouldn’t be too far away.
