Chapter 223: The First Abyss (II): Fuck!
Frankly speaking the thought of going down into the massive hole was a little unnerving, Rezar was incapable of fear, but there was just something eerie in the air, and vampires were creatures of energy and emotions and auras. They could sense and feel the things that many other races, no matter how perceptible they might be, were incapable of feeling. Which was why Rezar waited for Kitagawa and those he chose to join him on the walls that led into the hole. Rezar wasn't afraid, but even he knew that jumping into the abyss was best done when you had people who had your back with you, even for those who lived in it, the darkness was still a dangerous place.
"You waited your Majesty! that's...unexpected." Kitagawa's said as he rappelled down a thick rope that fell into the inky blackness below.
"I don't want you bitching at me later on Kitagawa, frankly speaking you're worse than my mother, which is saying something because I don't remember her...unless you want to count death and then that is saying something even more cause she's. you know...Death!"
Kitagawa rolled his eyes just as Screet and Tristian came down along with three other kings guard comparisons of two sons of dawn and a daughter of eclipse. The others would probably stay behind to watch their rear and be ready to give support should the need arise, but apart from that, everything seemed set, and Rezar was a lot more confident about diving in into the abyss that was staring right back at them.
Rezar didn't wait to say anything, he didn't feel the need to give a speech every time a great undertake ng was in front of them, and quite frankly he was half nervous and half anxious about what it was they were going to find below that scree of blackness, there was no time to give a speech or reinforce anybody's confidence. All they could do right now was just go down once and for all, following behind their king like the loyal guards and soldiers that they were.
Rezar prompted Tony to keep moving downwards, Roran was obviously absent, but that much could be understood. The Venoik was so afraid of everything, that using the term coward to describe would probably be a compliment as opposed to an insult.
Rezar wasn't worried, he didn't think that there would be a need for him to be present. The inky screen got closer and closer, the hole itself was just about 500 meters in diameter, which was quite a lot and the corner of it that they occupied was tiny enough to be insignificant. And then they walked or rather went through it and a feeling of the deepest chill imaginable suffused their bodies.
Rezar felt revolted, and for a few moments he was unable to see anything before his vision cleared and all he could see was red and drought. A system message popped up and Rezar felt his breath hitch in his throat as he looked at the landscape that was spread out before him. A massive black mountain in the distance with streams and rivers of lava flowing down its side into an endless plain of hills and thorn bushes that spread as far as the eye could see. There was an energy in the air that Rezar could not put his finger on, but it was so oppressive that even he had to admit that where ever the fuck they were, it was a lot more dangerous than expected.
[Skill Vampire: Supernatural Body has leveled up to 3! Current speed, power, defense, constitution and skill and magic damage increased by 25%]
[+2 to Strength, +5 to speed. +5 to constitution]
Rezar blinked his eyes as he felt a wave of power rush over his body, he wasn't expecting it, but the surge was quite welcome as he felt the effects almost immediately and in a way the old world could never have let Rezar experience.
He clenched his fist for a few seconds and turned to look at everyone behind him. Honestly speaking he was the only one who had an...allergy to Demonic energy, so this place where they now found their selves favored everyone in his group except him, but then again the same couldn't be said for goblins, or Hobgoblins when Tristian's case was taken into consideration. Rezar turned to Kitagawa and said.
"Remember when you gave a best and worst case scenario about what could be under the cover of darkness in the hole. well Kitagawa as you can see, it's much worse, like a whole bunch of shit storm coming our way and its right in our fucking kingdom!" and that's when the System message Rezar read popped up into existence for everyone else.
[You have crossed a dimension tunnel! Welcome to the first circle of Hell!]
"I'm So fucked!" Rezar said as he looked at the sky above him, where a massive swirling storm of darkness and purple lightning hung, a literal road to his backyard where demons of all kinds if they so wished could create as much havoc as they wanted. He shifted his gaze finally noticing the traces of life within the literal hell he now found himself in.
"Maybe this would be the perfect time to move away Your Majesty, before we attract attention we're not supposed to." Tristian said, but Rezar shook his head and pointed at the distance where a black castle stood on top of the mountain of black and lava that they could see.
"not until we've seen who fucking lives in that bloody castle." Eyes bulged out at what Rezar had just said, this was a place that was extremely dangerous for him and the longer he spent here the more danger he was in, they needed to get out immediately but he was still going to dive into what probably held a tool or a person capable of killing him. Kitagawa just couldn't wrap his head around it, and in the end he was left with nothing but more curses.
"Fuck!"
