บท 32: Abyssal Rift
Evan couldn't stop sweating seeing the devastation that had occurred in the Lamia Clan Village. Like a ferocious hurricane that destroys everything in its path, it has swept over the village.
Every hut had been razed to the ground, and not a single sign of life remained.
"Piwood, after I left with Liselis, you didn't secretly rampage around here, did you?" He turned his gaze and looked at the Tree Man under him.
Even though Piwood couldn't have done anything without him's orders, this Greater Demon might have wanted to avenge the destruction of Darkness Castle.
"I didn't. After you left with Lamia Lady, I brought 4 Lamia Warriors to repair the damage in the Throne Room."
In reality, the damage done to the Lamia Clan village was not due to the rampage of someone from Darkness Castle. It was a creature with hooves sharp enough to neatly cut any hut wall.
"Looks like this village has just been attacked by a creature hiding in the shadows." Lucia used her perception to check the state of the surrounding area.
"This must be the work of the Abyss Monster! Lucia, did anyone survive and get trapped in the ruin??"
Lucia floated down from Piwood's shoulders and repeated her examination more carefully. But, with a heavy heart, Lucia just shook her head because she didn't find any life.
After searching every ruin of the hut, he found unreasonable discrepancy. If this village had just been attacked as Lucia thought, there should have been casualties or bloodstains from the battle clinging to the hut ruins.
It was the same with Lucia and Piwood, who joined the search using magic. They also experienced the same confusion with him.
"I can't find it over here."
"It's the same here!" Piwood also found nothing.
"Tsk... Is there any chance that they might have been swallowed by those Abyss Monsters?"
"That's impossible... Because the Abyss Monsters only like blood rather than swallowing their enemies."
"Looks like they haven't died but were taken to the Abyssal Rift." After doing the examination, she opened her eyes.
"A-abyssal Rift?? What are they doing there?"
"They gave a sacrifice to someone the Princess once sealed in the abyss."
"Ehh!! I sealed someone??" A large question mark appeared above Lucia's head. Naturally, she forgot about it because it was done her hundreds of years ago.
Evan realized that the Abyss Monster must have a purpose to weaken the seal of the creatures that sealed in the Abyss.
"Hopefully it's not too late... Let's go!"
"Sure…" Lucia nodded and climbed onto Piwood's shoulder and used her Flying Skill again on Piwood's body.
With the high speed, they can reach The Mysterious Hole and go deeper into the Dark Forest. They arrived at a Rift that had an immense size.
"S-so this is the Abyssal Rift?" Evan was astonished to see the size of the crack from a height that was 80 meters wide and a depth that seemed to have no bottom.
"It's the Abyss Monsters and their Captives." Using the Telescope Eye Skill, Lucia could clearly see the Abyss Monsters that were carrying their captives.
"Can I destroy them?"
Lucia usually did do things on her own without asking others for consideration. Now that character has changed after Evan's arrival, she does that because he has a higher position in her heart.
"W-wait a minute. How many Lamias are there with them? Put their safety first before you go berserk."
Evan was relieved that Lucia had asked him. First, he was actually also curious about Lucia's powers. A little girl slaughtered all the Lords of every race who disobeyed her in the past and sealed the monsters.
"There is....only one. A female Lamia who fainted."
Evan smiled and was sure that the Lamia woman Lucia saw was Liselis.
"Liselis?? Is that woman that important to you?" With a sneer, Lucia looked at Evan.
"Lucia! Can you not read my mind without permission... Ahem, looks like I haven't explained it to you yet. That I have accepted the Lamia Clan as my subordinates."
Evan didn't explain it earlier because he was worried that Lucia would go against his choice. Accept the Clan that has tried to kill her.
"Mm. that sounds good. Let's save her." Lucia smiled and was pleased with Evan's choice as to if she didn't hate the Lamia Clan.
He was glad that Lucia had removed her scornful gaze and was excited to save Liselis.
"Lucia, can you attack them without..."
"Caught up with the dark copper stream in demonic energy... Mufempra Striitus!!"
Even before Evan found a way to save Liselis, Lucia had cast her magic first.
Evan panicked at what magic Lucia used. He was worried that it was powerful destructive magic.
However, that assumption was lost after seeing the 20 Abyss Monsters carrying Liselis trapped by Dark Blue colored energy pressure.
"Fortunately this skill was not sacrificed. Let's attack them!!"
Around 98 skills had been sacrificed by Lucia to make up for the lack of strength to perform the Demon King Summoning Ritual.
Losing so many skills did not weaken the Princess of Darkness who had lived for more than 1000 years.
Piwood covered Liselis' body with wood using his tree magic and shifted her away from the Abyssal Rift that gave off a profound purple aura.
"Liselis... Liselis...!! Piwood, use healing magic!" Evan tried to wake the Lamia Girl, but her pale face made him have to do something immediately.
