The Challenge in the Abyss

Along the way, Wenli smashed various flesh and blood objects with a hammer, making a great commotion.

However, no matter what happened, the situation in the abyss remained unchanged.

Han Dong and the clown sensed something was wrong almost at the same moment and stopped in their tracks.

Han Dong whispered, "We've been descending into the abyss for over One Hour, and only a small number of flesh-and-blood creatures have come out to hinder us along the way."

Winry's hammer attacks will cause quite a commotion.

The strange tales of the abyss must have known of our arrival, yet they treated us with 'carelessness'.

The moment Han Dong and the clown realized this.

The original flesh-and-blood staircase suddenly retracted into the wall.

At the same time, a large amount of slippery and highly corrosive solution was secreted from between the walls.

Furthermore, numerous chainsaws protruded from the walls, giving the team no chance to cling to them.

We don't know how high we are from the bottom of the abyss; if we fall like this, we might be smashed to pieces.

Just as everyone was preparing to use various methods to try to find gaps in the wall and forcibly climb onto them.

Hehehe...

The clown spat out five Smiling Face Balloon from his mouth, which automatically tied to each member's wrist, completely slowing down their descent.

It descended a distance of about 700 meters and landed steadily at the bottom of the abyss.

"It's so big down there!"

The smells, the pressure, and the unknown drew the five members of the team together in a circle, as they observed the changes around them.

As mentioned before, the abyss is cone-shaped, with a base nearly the size of two football fields...

The atmosphere changed in an instant.

Between the walls at the bottom of the abyss, there were numerous signs of flesh writhing... and then, thousands upon thousands of fleshy chairs grew out from inside the walls.

One by one, the spectators were forcibly bound to their seats and Mandatory Viewing the upcoming competition.

At the bottom of the abyss was a huge arena.

"The arena... I never expected to come into contact with ghost stories in this way."

It seems that those who mistakenly entered the public restroom have all been turned into spectators here.

As for the strong, they were forced to bear the title of gladiator.

Those who fall in the arena will likely be turned into flesh and blood subordinates by the "Abyssal Butcher" who controls this place, becoming important members of the arena.

At the same time, the long-awaited system notification sound came.

"You have arrived at the Abyss Arena. Please be sure to obey the rules set by the ' Abyssal Butcher,' or you will have a hard time surviving."

Once you complete the challenge according to the rules, this ghost story will end, and the assistance system will send you away from the abyss.

Two challenge modes are available as follows:

[All-Staff Challenge]:

All members form teams to face five challenges from the Abyss Arena.

The final battle will feature "The Abyssal Butcher" leading his four strongest subordinates.

If all victories are achieved, this ghost story will end.

[Solo Challenge]:

Engage in single-player gladiator challenges, where you will face an elite from the abyss in each match.

If a player is seriously injured, defeated, or exhausted, the next player will take over.

Each member has only one chance to perform.

When you complete 20 challenges, the "Abyssal Butcher" will personally appear. Defeating him will complete this ghost story.

[Special Mode: Hell Challenge (Single Player Only)]

Upon completion of the solo challenge, the solo challenger who defeated the "Abyssal Butcher" will have a certain amount of rest time before they can choose to leave the Abyss or start the Hell Challenge.

Once turned on.

You will face a mysterious "Hell Visitor".

Completing the challenge requirements will earn you an extra reward: Hell Treasure Chest.

Note: Because the Abyss is very close to Hell, and the feast created by the Butcher has attracted the attention of a Hell Visitor... He occasionally watches the duels that take place at the bottom of the Abyss as a guest.

He doesn't belong to the "ghost stories" category; he's just an outsider in the present world.

After the system introduction.

Han Dong's main focus was not on how to choose the challenge mode, but rather on his interest in the special guests mentioned in the system.

"Hell Visitor? Not part of the current supernatural tales?"

Upon hearing the hints about hell, Han Dong immediately thought of [Togu].

"We'll choose a single-person challenge..."

Han Dong wanted to seize any special opportunity, as such opportunities that transcended the original supernatural tales were rare... If he could make good use of them, he would greatly enhance his own abilities.

Moreover, Han Dong could cheat on the 'single' challenge rules.

For Han Dong, one person is equivalent to three people.

His intuition told him that if he could obtain the so-called Hell Treasure Chest, it might greatly enhance Togu's strength... or he might obtain a special item that could reach the depths of the Destiny Space.

"Nicholas, do you want to take on the ultimate [Hell Challenge]?" Abel saw through Han Dong's thoughts.

"Hmm... You guys will complete the previous solo challenges. When we reach round 20, I'll take over and face the ' Abyssal Butcher ' at full strength."

If my condition is extremely poor after defeating this S-rank mystery, I will decisively abandon the [Hell Challenge].

But if I'm in good shape... I want to seize every opportunity to improve and have a match with this mysterious visitor.

Once we obtain the Hell Treasure Chest, our team's overall skill level might improve significantly.

I will lead everyone to complete this five-star difficulty Destiny Space while the entire team survives.

"Good!" Abel affirmed Han Dong's decision.

Only the clown whispered to himself, "Oh my... what a touching speech! You're such a good captain... just don't end up taking all the equipment from the treasure chest by yourself!"

Han Dong immediately cast a slightly malicious glance at the gossiping clown, preparing to arrange for him to fight first.

To everyone's surprise, Winnie took the initiative to step forward.

"Vice Captain, let me go first... I'm more afraid of the ghost stories on Paradise Street, but I'm not afraid of these flesh-and-blood creatures at all!"

I want to prove myself and see how far I can go.

I also want to contribute to the team.

When the clown heard that Winry, that silly girl, was actually going to go first, he whistled and seemed very happy.

Looking into Wen Li's resolute eyes, Han Dong nodded.

"Okay... but if I think you can't hold on any longer, I'll make you leave the game immediately."

"Um."

that's all.

Mode selected: Single-player challenge.

A deep voice echoed in the abyss:

"Please welcome the challenger to the stage. No one else may interfere during the fight; otherwise, they will be disqualified."

Holding Blacksmith Hammer inlaid with a skull flint and steel, Winry, with her fiery red ponytail, walked alone toward the center of the Gladiator Arena.

At the same time, a Heavy Pressure came from above.

With her mind highly focused, Wenli quickly stepped aside.

A giant ball of flesh, 10 meters wide, crashed down, creating a huge crater in the ground.

Eight steel legs sprouted from its obese body, and its facial features were completely squeezed together on its head, which was piled up with ten layers of fat.

"The first duel will be fought by my subordinate, [Meat Pile - Tokugawa Shigekuni]."

Just as it was huge and fat, yet not at all slow, it adjusted its body and pounced on Winry.

Once it falls, Winry will be crushed.

In the critical moment, a field of power was released, covering the entire Gladiator Arena area...

"Winry, you've grown up so fast?"
