Section C Chapter 123: Abyss Guardian (Beverly)

So, where does this Abyss Knight plan to go?

Deciding to keep an eye on him and prevent him from leaving through the portal unleashed by the mages in the Church, Beverly once again leaned the MONOCULUS into a corner, trying to find a better angle to observe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but at this time......

The Abyss Knight suddenly waved his right hand and sprinkled a puddle of black slime at his feet. The slime quickly formed, beginning to form a shadow swamp-like area on the ground it clings to. And the Abyss Knight, who was standing in it, began to slowly sink downward,

This is...... Is it an abyssal swamp? Beverly was shocked: was he going to hide in the abyss?

This kind of abyssal swamp can go straight to the abyss. It was a place where the world existed when it was first born. It itself, is older than the World Tree.

In fact, it's ironic that people are so afraid of the abyss that can erode their minds. Because only those who are unwilling to face their weaknesses and soul stains, and who are unable to face unbearable memories, will be swallowed by the abyss.

As for why it's ironic, it's because the power of the abyss is a spiritual attack. Those who fall because of this are only losing to themselves.

And the first "people", that is, Ebone, were born from the roots of the World Tree rather close to the abyss. It was the original place known as the Black Lake. The first group of Eborn is no longer known in appearance, but it is generally believed to be the ancestors of most of Eborn. This group of Black Lakers gradually entered the World Tree and developed and evolved into many races.

Some of the Ebon are exceptional. For example, Dragonman, Aya, Burrontan and Yasan, etc., have nothing to do with the Black Lakers. For example, Aya was made by the angel directly according to her own appearance, but she didn't know what to think when she made it at the time, resulting in them being neither male nor girly.

The abyss is a dark area where no one knows how deep. It breeds unspeakable things and countless hallucinogenic substances that destroy people's minds. There are never many people who can leave after entering the abyss, and even if they do, most of them will have a distorted mind and become completely different from before. Therefore, one of the most cruel forms of criminal law is exile in the abyss.

Having said that, there is an exit to the abyss. It was sealed off by the god king Eurasia a thousand years ago, while also sending an organization known as the Abyss Guardian to guard the Abyss forever. The Abyss Guardians, led by Randall, one of the Nine Knights of Chaos, are the Chaos Knights.

Randall is the strongest of the Nine Knights, there is no doubt about it. Few other knights have been sent on such a long mission as he did. It is no longer clear why he was sent to suppress the Abyss, but perhaps it was really the Eurasian Emperor who attached great importance to his abilities.

At that time, the abyss was too rampant, spreading all the way up from the bottom of the World Tree, and when the Eurasian Empire tried to block the bottom, they had already spread to the World Tree at an incredible speed. They devour all life with despair and fear, polluting any creature that still has hope in its heart.

No one knows why the Abyss is rioting, people are just instinctively terrified of it.

The army used to suppress the abyssal monsters alone lost hundreds of thousands. However, in these battles, there are often cases where insiders defect after being eroded by the abyss, which is really difficult to deal with.

But no matter what, in the end, the Eurasian army still pressed the forces of the abyss to the front of the abyss. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, the Eurasian Empire set up a tight fortress to seal the entrance to the abyss, while leaving behind a considerable number of elite troops to defend it: those are battle-hardened and determined warriors.

It was also from that time that the chosen Randall almost never returned to the royal city and his hometown, and has been firmly guarding the abyss. The abyss, which had been plagued for a long time, was suppressed by the tragic sacrifice of the abyss guards. The World Tree has been safe for many years. All of the guards chosen at the beginning were warriors who volunteered to follow Randall, and they were extremely loyal and determined, and the Abyss had no chance to corrupt them at first.

The Abyss Guardian is not protecting the Abyss. Rather, they are guarding the world beyond the abyss. They guard every inch of land where all life and hope remain, and do everything in their power to prevent the despair of the abyss from spreading. Despair is contagious, devouring all the faint rays of light and breaking down every line of defense in people's hearts.

Guards who have been slightly exposed in their minds are constantly sent away in favor of stronger guards, so that the abyss has no chance to take advantage of it. As the captain of the Abyss Guard, Randall, the Chaos Knight, is highly respected by his teammates and is a pillar figure.

For hundreds of years, the abyss has been extremely calm under suppression. Randall, the Chaos Knight, and his Abyss Guardian are considered heroes. Originally, warriors from all over the world tree came to apply, and these people were respected as powerful warriors. However...... Then a rather famous tragedy occurred.

People later learned of all of this through an old notebook inside the abandoned fortress. The author of the note is none other than Randall, the Knight of Chaos.

The fortress of the Abyss Guardians was destroyed one day. Originally, they were stationed on the most dangerous edge of the abyss, and now there was no way back. More and more Abyss Guardians are corrupted, and former teammates are killing each other. The number of Abyss Guardians is also decreasing.

Everything happened so fast, the abyss spreading outward with a rapid pace every day, and it seemed that they were about to reach beyond the borders of the abyss, crossing the only line of safety that could limit them. In order to stop the spread of this abyss, Randall and others used large-scale sacrificial ritual magic to block the border of the abyss and block the retreat path.

Randall, the Chaos Knight, was forced to hold on to the last glimmer of hope and decided to go deep into the abyss to investigate the cause of the spread of the abyss and the destruction of the fortress barrier, but to no avail. Eventually, the remaining Abyss Guardians, no matter how desperately they resisted, were swallowed up by the abyss of despair, defeated by time—the food supply was exhausted, and starvation alone was enough to knock out the bravest warriors.

With fewer and fewer troops, Randall finally decided to offer a last resort to resist to the death. He sacrificed himself and the living, resurrected all the once fallen Abyss Guardians with necromancy, turning them into cursed undead spirits, and continuing his mission to protect the Abyss Frontier forever. Abandoned the completely corrupted fortress and instead came to the border of the abyss, which had not yet been eroded, and transformed the outpost as a camp, slaying the monsters that crawled out of the abyss day after day.

Unspeakable things - many of them are demons.
