Goodbye Abyss

Anna, clad in Silver Armor, sat on a White Steed, her height of less than 1.6 meters contrasting with the nearly 2-meter long spear she held.

At Anna's command, the fully armed Soldiers roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

"Kill!"

The Soldiers, unlike the Nuns, didn't possess explosive power, but even in a one-on-one fight, they had a high chance of killing a monster.

However, for visual effect, most of them ganged up on a single monster, aiming to achieve results quickly.

Anna herself raised her spear high and charged into the Monster Horde. The spear, far exceeding her height, swept across the area in front of her. Wherever it passed, monsters were dismembered and their horns broken. The spear in Anna's hands seemed to come alive, striking wherever she pointed.

Although Anna's performance was formidable, Chen Yi, who was secretly observing from the sky, felt a sense of disharmony.

On the other side, the originally Obese King was gone. In his place stood a Tall Thin Man, his skin dark and his entire body enveloped in an Ominous Black Qi.

Iris's expression turned grim. Deep down, she felt a repulsion towards this black energy, as if it were some kind of Natural Enemy.

"Where did you find this energy!"

"Wait! You're the Demon King?!"

The King, who hadn't revealed his True form for a long time, wasn't in a hurry to attack. Discovering this energy had happened a very, very long time ago.

The Demon Territory had been secretly breached by the Previous King.

Coincidentally, the Previous King had just witnessed the birth of the Demon King.

Space tore open, and an ominous black aura seeped from a scarlet Rift.

An ordinary monster, enveloped and permeated by the black energy, began to evolve.

From that moment on, the Empire never stopped researching the Rift and the energy behind it.

This energy was extremely peculiar. Not only could it be absorbed by the human body, but it also possessed strong Inclusiveness and corrosive properties. It could overwrite other energies within the body and absorb them to quickly become Stronger.

The downside was that those who absorbed this energy would gradually become violent and lose their Sanity.

The Previous King had accepted the inheritance passed down through generations of royalty. He couldn't risk destroying the royal lineage for an unknown possibility.

It wasn't until the current King's reign, after his subordinate Mage had preliminarily understood this energy, that he resolutely abandoned the royal inheritance and transferred it to his immature Daughter.

He himself absorbed this energy to become the 'Demon King'!

Later, to make the Church lower its guard and conceal his energy, he used a Royal Secret Technique to become the most Obese among the successive Kings of Vesilia.

For a long time, this King was the Laughing Stock of the Empire.

Although No One dared to say it openly, everyone knew it in private.

This fat suppressed the strange energy within the King. The Black Energy, suppressed to its limit, could not directly affect the King's Personality, which was why he maintained his Sanity.

However, the Black Energy's strange characteristics were continuously absorbing the fat, thereby strengthening itself.

To continue suppressing it, the King could only increase the amount of fat, which caused the King to become fatter and fatter, eventually making even movement difficult.

Even with so much fat, the time the King could suppress the Black Energy grew shorter and shorter, forcing the plan to begin.

The Demon King was born, and the Hero was summoned.

However, when the King himself dispelled the secret technique, he was the actual Demon King.

The Demon King stretched his body with some emotion. Maintaining that posture, even he, whose disposition far surpassed ordinary people, felt immense suppression.

"Bishop Ilis, I request your presence in this church. Please accompany me in destruction."

Before his voice even fell, the Demon King charged towards Ilis.

Seeing the Demon King arrive before him the next moment, Ilis's pupils shrank sharply, and the surrounding scenery flew past.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Unlike the royalty of Vesilia who received inheritances, this generation's King had only his fists.

"God said, the enemy before us shall be pierced by myriad arrows!"

"God said, Slow!"

"God said, Heal!"

Ilis, who had been sent flying, chanted rapidly in the air.

As the Demon King prepared to charge forward again, an immeasurable number of light arrows suddenly Appeared behind him, while the Demon King's body was as if held back by an Invisible Force, his speed greatly restricted.

Ilis's condition improved considerably.

The Demon King waved his hand curiously, "Is this wind?"

The Black Qi on his body, which seemed like mere decoration, began to riot. The invisible wind was torn apart, and the condensed Wind Elemental Particles were driven away.

Continuous light arrows shot into the ground. Wherever the light arrows passed, there were roars. The originally grand and majestic church became somewhat Tattered, hidden amidst the flying Dust. Only the tall statue of God remained undisturbed.

In the dust, the Demon King searched for Ilis's location. Black blood dripped from his back intermittently; he had still been hit by a few light arrows.

Upon impact, the light arrows Exploded, turning into particles. These particles attempted to enter the body through the wounds to cause secondary damage, but the energy within the Demon King was not to be trifled with, and it quickly devoured these energies.

"God said, Fire Snake!"

Ilis's voice rang out. The next moment, a Python made of flames rushed towards the Demon King in the dust.

That revulsion towards the Black Energy from the depths of her heart allowed Iris to pinpoint her opponent's location.

However, attacking also meant exposing herself. The Fire Snake had just coiled around the Demon King, leaving burn marks on his body, only to be torn to shreds by the Demon King the next second.

"Faster! Faster! Faster! Let me see how the church dares to stand above royal authority!"

Iris shouted, "Holy Shield!"

The Demon King punched through the Light Shield in front of Iris. The collision created a violent ripple, sweeping away the dust that filled the air.

The figure that landed on the ground began to flicker, leaving small pits in the ground with each flicker.

Iris didn't attack rashly, her eyes working with her Mental power to continuously perceive the Demon King's location.

Although the Demon King's speed far surpassed Iris's, it was still unable to escape Iris's powerful Mental power.

"Behind you!"

The Demon King kicked at a spot five body lengths to Iris's left. The 'Iris' who had been searching for Demonic Beasts earlier flickered a few times and turned into an afterimage. The real Iris was swept up by a tremendous force and slammed into the wall.

"Drip! Drip!"

Iris's hair scattered, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

The once Universally Admired Bishop now looked like a Madwoman, her eyes hidden by her hair, making her expression unreadable.

The Demon King reappeared on the High Platform, arms crossed. "You only have this much skill? You can't even entertain me..."

The Demon King looked at his hands, which were slowly becoming less human, with a hint of distraction. His black fingernails were slowly growing longer.

The Black Energy had begun to affect him at some point. If it were his true self, he would have already launched a Storm of attacks, only stopping when Iris was close to death, thereby completing the subsequent plan.

But now, he had become exceptionally eager for a fight, wanting to tear apart everything in front of him.

"The plan has changed again..."

If the influence of the energy further increased, it would be difficult for the Demon King to be killed by Anna, which was contrary to the plan.

Chen Yi, who was watching from above, was also gaining knowledge. It had nothing to do with him anyway. The more intense the fight, the better. Perhaps he could even absorb some Combat Experience.
