I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 53

Dunham, who had just thought he had calmed down, suddenly changed his expression.

Exaggeratedly speaking, the cards he could think of for Lu Mi were nothing more than the extreme strength he had honed himself, and the ancient weapons brought from the abyss.

This was the limit he could calculate, the limit that “humans” could reach.

But reality didn’t seem to be the case.

“You reported earlier that the mutants who escaped from Tartarus’ cage were very quiet?”

“Yes, yes, Lord Dunham.” The subordinate was frantically recalling as the superior suddenly asked, “Our people were very surprised at the time because those mutants didn’t take the opportunity to escape. They are even obediently staying on the cliff now.”

“…”

“Dong——”

“Dong————”

The world suddenly fell silent.

Among the towering mountains, in the midst of the majestic rocks, only that huge bronze bell slowly swayed, spreading a heart-shaking echo that was louder than the last.

The subordinate obviously knew the meaning of this bell sound. He looked at his superior who suddenly stopped talking, and the tremor that he had been trying to suppress since just now once again stimulated his body.

“Du, Lord Dunham…” The subordinate called out tremblingly, panicked, at a loss, and couldn’t stop being shocked.

But Dunham didn’t speak, he just looked up at the sky——

More accurately, it was that spiraling golden staircase.

He was not the first person to look up.

With the distant humming of the bell as the background, the chaotic battle suddenly stopped. The people holding weapons were stiff all over.

They saw, above that huge city, a group of “people” suddenly leaped out.

That group of “people” did not hide their abnormalities at all, and even because of an unbearable emotion, they crazily revealed all their power.

The overly distant distance made it impossible for them to see the specific appearance of each existence, but the domineering aura belonging to the mutants crazily sounded the alarm of every extraordinary person in the field.

Even without language and certification, just by appearing, they could absolutely not be defined as “human” beings.

“What are those…!”

Some extraordinaries with particularly keen senses widened their eyes, their pupils dilated and contracted, and due to the stimulation perceived by their spiritual world, they uncontrollably shed physiological tears.

“I saw it, the red fire…and…”

These sensing extraordinaries instinctively wanted to explore the essence of those existences, and were immediately overwhelmed by a sky-covering “information”.

They were like a mayfly wandering in the sea, lost in the boundless tidal waves.

–That was the sea of fire spit out by the Red Smoke Giant Snake, the thunder hidden in the dark… it was the majestic grandeur of the gale howling over the strata, blowing from another world…

“Hey, what did you guys see!?” This was the voice of other non-sensing extraordinaries.

But they couldn’t answer, only under that ancient surging spiritual power and oppressive feeling, they bent over and retched.

It wasn’t easy to struggle out of the pain of retching for a moment, they said in fear and in fits and starts. “Quick… run…!”

That was not an existence belonging to this world, not an existence they could contend with, absolutely—!

While other people were still sounding the alarm frantically, those existences that caused them to be like this didn’t care about these people at all.

Those existences were just slowly walking down the golden staircase, they seemed to be very clear about their position (sequence), and stood on both sides of the staircase in an almost incredible proficiency.

Lu Mi, who was walking on the staircase, slightly raised his head and looked at the people waiting for him in two rows, like guards and guides.

“Why did you suddenly come out?” he asked.

The Ark that could hide itself had its own aura shielding function, so the demons inside were not discovered, but now they came out by themselves, it was different.

That vast bell would never cease, it passed through the high mountains and clouds, and even now it was still echoing in his ears.

“Are you angry?” The one standing at the front of the team asked softly.

“No,” Lu Mi’s body was like a mist of phosphorescence floating away, “I didn’t issue an order not to allow you to leave the Ark, on this point, you are free.”

“So we came to pick you up.” The one who pressed a touch of red at the corner of his eye answered softly, “Because you said you wanted to leave.”

On the high staircase, the long wind brushed Lu Mi’s clothes, taking away all the noise on the ground.

That high and mighty city, and the land below, seemed to be two divided worlds, two choices.

“Come on——”

Seo, who was standing a little higher, reached out to Lu Mi, this furious demon seemed to be unable to bear it, “What are you waiting for? Our master.”

As the words fell, all the demons cast their eyes on him, as if they were reaching out to that golden figure together.

They either bowed their heads slightly or bowed in greeting, echoing in unison, “Our Lord!”

You are the common master of the abyss demons, you are the new king of the Western Area Zerg race, you are the golden god on the River of Death in the Southern Area.

–What are you hesitating about?

–Come on, please grab us, please come to our side.

–We have been waiting for a long time!

Is this a miracle?

Everyone was silent as they looked up at this scene.

That existence, which was almost elevated to a divine being, stood on the high golden staircase, as if it was about to ascend to the kingdom of heaven.

But the one who led him was not a white-winged angel, but a demon from the abyss.

Was it the demon who tempted the divine being, or was it the divine being who influenced the demon?

This absurd scene, which even the myths on the cathedral murals could not reach, brought more than a few words of shock to people!

“Ding-clang——” The first sound came from nowhere, an extraordinary’s weapon suddenly fell to the ground.

Along with it, his knees also touched the ground. It was unknown whether it was simply collapsing or truly kneeling, but he was not the first person to be in this situation.

Even the president, Ivanovich, couldn’t sit still, “Where on earth…! Did he come from…”

His old eyes were wide open, and he finally couldn’t keep his calm gaze and looked at the former chief warden of Tartarus.

All of this had completely exceeded his expectations! The truth was a hungry beast, starting to rampage towards the direction he dared not think about!

“That child, although human, has an unusual bond with the abyss.” The old former chief warden knew about Lu Mi’s relationship with Kano, so he was one of the people in the field who was slightly prepared.

However, the surprise was not a bit less, after all, this number——

“…Do you know what this means?” Ivanovich obviously couldn’t accept it.

The former chief warden was silent for a moment, “To be precise, I think—these are probably not all, but only those who are qualified to be by his side. As for those who are not powerful enough or have other reasons, they may be hiding somewhere waiting for orders.”

“Such a feat…!” Ivanovich took a deep breath, as if he had aged a dozen years in an instant, and his originally hunched body slumped.

A human child was crowned among demons—! Who could believe it if it weren’t for what they saw today?

Everything in front of them had already surpassed what humans could understand to this day!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but cast their eyes on that golden figure.

Finally, the golden figure slowly took steps, stepping up the staircase to a higher place step by step.

—That person had already made a choice.

Anbo suddenly pulled Sholun, “Sholun, calm down! He’s not not coming back!”

Sholun suddenly stagnated, staring straight at him, “Will he come back?”

“This…” Anbo looked at the golden figure infinitely far away from them, and suddenly became a little uncertain, “Should?”

The former chief warden sighed, patted Sholun on the shoulder, “He is destined to be a person who cannot live as a normal person, we can only watch in this world.”

Ivanovich suddenly said, “Exposing this kind of thing, will he still come to the K8 branch in the future, will he…stay in the human world?”

At this time, it seemed to completely forget about letting people stay in the headquarters.

This is no longer considering for the Extraordinaries Guild Headquarters, but for the bargaining chip for peace in this world!

“Given that child’s character, this kind of thing is not something he voluntarily exposed.” The former chief warden seemed completely unaware that he was repeatedly stabbing the other’s heart, and said to himself, “As for whether he will stay, he is not without ties in this world, but in the end, it depends on his own attitude.”

……..

Finally stepping onto the city, Lu Mi looked down from a high place, if it weren’t for the power, the people on the ground would have become invisible black spots.

The misty clouds drifted past him, and were blown away by the long wind.

After today, he would have nothing to do with ordinary life. This was the only thing that was completely certain.

As for this Extraordinaries Guild Headquarters, he probably won’t come again in the future.

Lu Mi did not forget Tartarus and others who were still on the ground, it’s just that the appearance of the mutants might cause them trouble if they were brought up.

After all, these people would eventually have to continue to live as “humans” in this world, so unlike him, it was better to have less contact with high-ranking demons.

But he wouldn’t just leave them alone.

Lu Mi lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his hand to call the silver spear, and the abyss beings surrounding him quietly watched his movements.

“What you see, this building located in the mountains, is the highest institution in the human world to deal with the abyss.” He slowly explained to everyone.

Kano, who knew more about the human world, said to others, “You should be able to feel it, in these historically long mountains, there are at least more than ten large abyss rifts, not to mention the small ones.”

Some were transferred here through special means in history, and some were the products of some experiments that could not be announced—in short, this was the headquarters of all extraordinaries guilds in the world, and it was not surprising what was hidden.

The demons knew that what Lu Mi wanted them to know was not just this.

So the next second, they heard the silver-eyed youth say, “I will finish my last job as an extraordinary in this world.”

The last? Unconcealable joy surged on the faces of the demons, if Alonfus was here, he would definitely be ecstatically happy—“My Lord, you finally accepted your true identity, and realized your true destination!”

Indeed, after this time, Lu Mi, whether voluntarily or forced, had to say goodbye to his “ordinary extraordinary” identity. Although the current Extraordinaries Guild Headquarters was not very pleasant, it was undeniable that it was indeed thanks to it that there had been a precarious peace for hundreds of years.

“I hope that after today, you can make changes…” The golden divine being calmly lowered his eyes, as if looking at this world from a higher place, telling an unknown whisper.

The next moment, the golden divine being suddenly raised his long spear and threw it at the ground with all his strength.

That silver spear directly inserted between the mountains, and the mountain suddenly cracked open under the horrified eyes of the people on the ground!

The earth shook in an instant.

It seemed to see the barren land of red rocks, it seemed to see the sky that was always dark as blood, it seemed to see a river of life and death, the rapids never ceased…

The fleeting glimpse of another world’s scenery caused their brains to momentarily stop thinking.

Desmond, who had barely recovered some mobility from his severe injuries, was being helped up by his subordinates.

Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but pause in his steps.

“Lord Desmond…” The subordinate called out in panic and worry.

But the man was looking at the scene that followed, he pursed his lips, and suddenly opened his mouth in a relieved manner, “I…I’ve completely lost.”

He raised his head, with a human’s vision, he could no longer see the situation above the clouds, nor could he see that golden figure anymore.

“As a human, he has reached an unreachable pinnacle.” Desmond murmured with squinted eyes, “I’ve been completely left behind, but from now on, finally…I have a goal to pursue!”

The excitement and joy in his words did not seem to be fake, like a raging fire that had been rekindled, “Compared to me…”

Desmond looked at the man who was lost in despair next to him, “Douglas, how about you, who is aware of such an existence as an opponent?”

The ambitious man who couldn’t accept failure finally hit an immovable mountain. After being hit and left in tatters, when could he piece together his shattered ambition again—perhaps, never?

Following that silver spear, what followed was the power of countless demons.

Their power centered on the silver spear, like falling stars bombarding the surrounding mountains.

Those powers left indelible traces on the mountains—

There was a red flame on the mountain peak hit by the fire, there was a dark purple thunder pattern on the mountain peak shattered by the thunder, the gale carved indelible sharp marks on the rock…

Different demons left their own patterns on different mountain peaks.

Afterwards, a huge formation was formed with the silver spear!

Everyone was shaken as they looked at the echoing marks one by one, and the towering peaks, as if witnessing a new legend.

The mountains surrounded the silver spear, as if the subjects were following and guarding their lord.

In the eyes of the creatures in those abyss rifts, they immediately sensed countless majestic auras.

—This is a marked territory, absolutely inviolable.

“So that’s it…” In an instant, they understood the warning and meaning in it, “Has the master of the abyss… been born?”

In an instant, all the originally restless rifts and powers in the darkness were suppressed.

They respectfully bowed their heads in that direction, avoiding its sharpness, and waited for a more turbulent future in the shadows.

That shining silver spear deterred all the sneaky things, and it would also protect this world, and until the future, for a long, long time.
