I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 41

“I’m still alive, I actually survived——! Waaah!” Right Law hugged his twin in relief, adrenaline surging.

Kano felt the turbulent power coming from the gate, even if he couldn’t see the specific scene on the other side, he could imagine how “exciting” it was.

He said with interest, “So, will it make them back off from now on, or will it infuriate them even more?”

Even the free and easy wind had places it had not yet reached, he was actually quite curious about that legendary Southern Area.

The silver-eyed youth being watched by everyone didn’t speak, seemingly contemplating something.

At this time, Left Law also noticed his brother’s unusual silence.

“Right Law, what’s wrong?” He couldn’t help but ask.

“…I just saw our brethren at the gate.”

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse of less than a second, Right Law still noticed the ship being pulled back in the distance, and the figures on it with a clearly fairy species aura.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the current situation of the fairy species in the Southern Area was not optimistic at all.

Hearing his words, the chattering Left Law also fell silent, then inexplicably and subconsciously looked towards Lu Mi.

At this moment, the silver-eyed youth suddenly looked up, not knowing whether he had heard the conversation of the others, and a piece of cloth floated out from the gate——

“Write a letter?” On the other side of the abyss, a group of giants looked at the black- horned Asura species incredulously, “Are you kidding me! He treated us like that, and we still have to write him a letter!?”

“It’s a negotiation letter!” The black- horned giant took a deep breath, the pain in his hand made him slightly clench his fist, the rough fingertips embedded in the wound caused pain that made him exude a dangerous aura of keeping people away.

Another giant said, “I’ve already sent a messenger to notify the king, he should arrive at the royal city soon.”

“If the king sees these traces, where is our face and dignity…!” The expressions of the other giants were somewhat ugly.

“That’s exactly why we need to make up for our mistakes!” The black-horned giant’s eyes sharpened, he said in a deep voice, “How can we end in a complete defeat! At least we can now confirm that the fairy species are there, and they haven’t left!”

“You mean…”

“The fairy species belong to our world, it’s a mistake for them to stay there, I don’t believe they have a reason to protect them!”

At this point, everyone finally understood their plan. Indeed, the unknown powerhouse from the other world didn’t need to be obsessed with a group of creatures from another world. Even just now, they only said “this gate is not passable”, they just didn’t go!

For the sake of the entire Asura species, they would tolerate them for now!!

——Although this decision was made while gritting their teeth, wishing they could kill, but…!

Just now, all the giants had what could be called marks of shame on their hands, no one wanted to pick up the pen, and more importantly, all the giants were tall, obviously not suitable for writing letters to humans.

So a group of Asura species turned their eyes to the shipyard.

Immediately, all the curious and fearful mutants shivered, instantly lowering their heads in horror, wishing they could bury themselves in the ground immediately.

The Asura species pointed in the air at suitable candidates, every person who felt chosen was trembling madly, making them extremely disgusted, not to mention the giants’ mood was already extremely gloomy.

“What are you shaking for?” The most irritable green-horned giant casually grabbed a nearby mutant, looking at it with eyes bigger than a bell, “Are we that scary?”

“Wuwu…” The captured mutant couldn’t speak, the constantly tightening giant palm wrapped around its body, almost about to squeeze it to burst.

“Sir!” Just then, a voice suddenly came. A young mutant wearing a ghost mask walked out of the crowd and volunteered, “If you want to write a letter, why not let me do it?”

The giants didn’t lower their voices just now, in their view, this group of weak ants didn’t need them to hide, after all, no one dared to resist them. That’s why people were so surprised by what happened today.

The black-horned giant looked at him a few times, suddenly narrowed his eyes, “I don’t seem to have seen you before.”

“There are tens of thousands of people coming and going in this factory every day, probably because I’m so weak that I’ve never caught your eye.” The ghost-faced youth answered calmly.

“Alright, it’s you!” The green-horned giant waved his hand impatiently, speaking with an oppressive tone, “You better write well, if you don’t write well, you’ll be punished.”

The black-horned giant looked at his kind, finally didn’t say anything, and accepted the youth’s offer to write.

So a cloth full of writing was born.

On the other side of the gate, Lu Mi looked up as soon as Kano manipulated the air flow, letting the wind deliver it to him from the air.

“Oh?” Kano said curiously, “How come you write to them, and they write back to you? Is this considered pen pals?”

God damn pen pals!

All three fairy species choked, feeling a bad mood that they couldn’t speak.

At this time, Lu Mi had already spread out the cloth, and the content on it immediately appeared in front of everyone.

As it turned out, the Asura species that dominated the Southern Area probably had never surrendered to anyone, the tone of the entire article was schizophrenically between slightly soft and hard. One could imagine a grim-faced Asura demon, on the one hand hating him to the point of grinding his teeth, on the other hand forcibly hypnotizing himself to “negotiate friendly”.

Lu Mi lost interest after just one glance and withdrew his gaze, then flipped the cloth to the back——yes, there was content on the back of this cloth, like double-sided embroidery, with spider-like thin lines outlined there.

The thread was extremely light and faint, if not observed carefully it would be difficult to detect. Lu Mi didn’t know if those Asura species knew there were words on this side, but from the content, they probably didn’t know.

“This seems to be a map of the Southern Area?” Kano quickly scanned it, looking at several fairy species, “Do you have any help in the Southern Area?”

“Ah, no, we don’t know what’s going on…” Several fairy species also had a face full of question marks, knowing that when they escaped from the Southern Area, they were already ruined and penniless, where would they have any backup.

“I think this map should be real.” Lu Mi calmly noted it down, because no one would set up such a flawed scam, just didn’t know what the purpose of this “unnamed good Samaritan” was.

What surprised Lu Mi even more was that the Southern Area had actually built a city of their own.

One should know that most abyss creatures follow the survival rules of the wild. Looking at the “nest” of the previous Zerg queen, things like “buildings” and “palaces” seem to not conform to the aesthetics of most abyss creatures, or they feel it’s superfluous, so they were rarely seen.

“This is…Asura City?” Left Law and Right Law noticed where Lu Mi’s fingertips had been lingering for a long time, “When we left, it was just a prototype, has it been built now!”

Lu Mi: “Whose city is this?”

“The king of the Asura race, also the royal city of the entire Asura species, wait… it’s so close to the shipyard!” Left Law looked at the distance between the two, which was less than a finger, and immediately covered his face in horror, “The Asura King will know soon——!”

……..

“Why is there no reaction yet?” As time passed bit by bit, the giants guarding the gate couldn’t help but become anxious.

“Where’s the kid who wrote the letter just now?” The black-horned giant suddenly asked.

“Huh? Who cares about that.” The green-horned giant scoffed without much concern.

“Hey, ghost face!” In the crowd, a youth who had slipped away and hidden among the mutants again was suddenly grabbed by the sleeve by someone.

The person who came was the companion who had gone back to report earlier. The companion had already gone back once, but didn’t know why he came back, “The leader asked me to come and support you, it’s too dangerous here, let’s hurry back to the base.”

“What did the leaders say?” Ghost Face youth didn’t move, just asked.

His companion hurriedly lowered his voice, “What else could they say, they just know and will consider it.”

“But I think this is a great opportunity.” Ghost-faced youth frowned, “Didn’t you tell the leader that those Asura species were seriously injured?”

“That’s not really a serious injury, it’s just a broken palm!” The companion argued unconvincingly, and under the silent gaze of the youth, he guiltily looked away, “And I was worried about you, that’s why I rushed back so quickly…”

Ghost-faced youth held his companion’s shoulder, suddenly looked at him seriously and said, “Go back and tell the leader, if we want to save these mutants in the shipyard, this might be the only chance. Whether the long-standing stagnant situation in the Southern Area can be broken depends on today!”

“…” Probably because the meaning in the youth’s words was too serious, this time the companion finally panicked a bit, “You, are you serious? Just relying on that mysterious gate?”

“Not the gate, but the person on the other side of the gate.” Ghost-faced youth said and pushed his companion out, at the same time turned back and looked up at the suspended gate.

He didn’t know if “the person who suppressed the Asura species” had received his hint. Although the ghost-faced youth appeared extremely confident in front of his companion, in fact, he knew nothing about the person on the other side of the gate, and couldn’t help but show a bit of unease on his face under the mask.

Those who were waiting for the result with him were the Asura species in front of the gate.

Just when everyone’s patience was about to be exhausted, the familiar fairy species finally appeared in front of everyone again through the gate.

Left Law, who had volunteered to come, came with great momentum, although he wilted half when he saw those pairs of glaring bell-like eyes, but he managed to hold on by constantly chanting Lu Mi’s name.

“This, this is the reply to the letter!” Left Law held a piece of paper in his hand, which was smaller than a giant’s fingernail.

A group of Asura species came over and squinted to look at it, only to see that one side of the paper was written “Roll”, and the other side was written “Can”.

“What does this mean!?” The familiar word “Roll” almost made the giants lose control of their temper, all thanks to the black-horned giant holding them back.

Left Law said tremblingly, “These two words, one is on the front, one is on the back, the reply to you is written on…the, the front…”

…Isn’t that still the “Roll” word!?

The ghost-faced youth in the crowd suddenly looked up in surprise.

At the same time, the giants on the spot tore up the paper, instantly took out their huge weapons from behind and roared, “This is too much——!! How dare these insignificant ants play us!!”

This time, even the black-horned giant didn’t stop them, his cold gaze stared straight at the fairy species in the air, his giant axe swung down and blocked the fairy species’ retreat.

“Wait, I’m just a messenger!” Left Law couldn’t escape back into the gate in time and was immediately panicked.

This time, the ghost-faced youth finally didn’t wait any longer, he made up his mind and rushed up directly.

The black-horned giant sneered, “Messenger? No, you are our prey. Although you don’t seem to be the pure-blooded fairy we want the most, but with you——and the one from the gate earlier, the two of you are enough to make the giant ship reborn, maybe it’s enough.”

“What, you guys want to catch Right Law too…”

Before Left Law could finish his words, the giant axe had already been chopped down, and the ghost-faced youth who had rushed over immediately blocked in front of him.

The slender sword intersected with the giant axe, as if it could be broken at any time. Ghost-faced youth gritted his teeth, his wrist trembling slightly due to the constant pressure from above.

“…Who are you?” Left Law blurted out a scream and swallowed it, subconsciously asking the youth.

Ghost-faced youth turned his head back to look at him with difficulty, every word seemed to be squeezed out with a hoarse voice, “Don’t worry about who I am first… Can’t that person who can stop these Asura species come…” His feet deeply embedded in the mud on the ground, as the giant axe pressed down from above, he plowed two deep trenches backwards, “If he doesn’t come…we’re all going to die here…”

Left Law swayed from side to side in panic, “Ah, this…”

“Of course he can’t come!” The black-horned giant first looked at the ghost-faced youth, the sense of incongruity he had at the beginning was indeed not an illusion.

In recent years, there have been flies and mosquitoes trying to resist their Asura species’ rule, the giant just thought a little, and roughly guessed that the other party was one of them.

Heh, but they were all insignificant ants huddling together for warmth, if it weren’t for the Asura race being too busy with the plan to cross the River of Death to bother, where would they have room to breathe! It’s better to clean up these things with no self-awareness after this time!

The murderous intent in the eyes of the black-horned giant made the ghost-faced youth’s heart chill, but what he cared more about was what the other party had just said.

“This is the second time.” There was a terrifying calm in the black-horned giant’s eyes, “Two times in a row, a fairy species came over but he didn’t show up, I heard that the life forms of the other world are more pure flesh and blood than the abyss creatures, the dead aura of the Southern Area must not be making him feel good.”

Ghost-faced youth: …So that’s how it is!

Most creatures living in the Southern Area have a natural resistance to the death aura, but even so, the death aura of the River of Death is enough to threaten their lives. This shows that the death aura here cannot be resisted by strength alone, if the physique is inherently unsuitable, it’s like a tiger on land entering the sea, certain to die.

Ghost-faced youth’s heart sank, he quickly started thinking, if he could hold on until the reinforcements sent by the leader arrived, there might be a glimmer of hope, but the difficulty was too harsh, maybe…

And then at that moment, a calm voice came——

“Who did you say can’t come?”

“!”

As if in an instant, the wind from all over the world poured into the open gate.

The black-horned giant suddenly broke out in goosebumps behind him, he didn’t have time to show a shocked expression, and was cut open by a sky-piercing silver-blue light.

“Cough——!” A huge wound crossed his chest, the splashing blood like spilled red ink adorned the dark world.

The silver-eyed youth who stepped into the gate hung in the air, looking down with a spear in one hand, “Don’t kill the messenger, understand?”

Right Law, who followed closely, worriedly pounced on Left Law, their little master then cast a hateful look at those giants.

Finally…! They were back here again!

All the other giants on the scene didn’t react, the ghost-faced youth widened his eyes——is this the person, he looks completely different from what he imagined…

And unlike the complex turbulence of these fairy species, Kano, who had only stepped into this area half a step later, watched the figure of the youth standing under the sky from behind.

What a nostalgic scene.

No matter where, the sky of the abyss is always dark red. Under another sky in the north, he had also watched such a scene.

This person finally returned here again, so the wind of the whole world began to call his name.

The unprecedentedly active Book of Keys began to flip madly, in the same world, it echoed with the breath of countless distant places.

The River of Death surged up with violent tides, the noise was unprecedented, but at this moment the world suddenly became quiet.
