Chapter 21 - Abyss Will

"Varian!"

Kyle waved at him and approached him in rapid steps Varian stood stupefied as Kyle reached hi here?" they both yelled at the salared at his friend "You are taking the entrance to Military Science Acade Abyss? You are a non-colared back with equal intensity "And you never told us you were going to Defense Academies Are you out of your mind? The minimum requirement is to kill Level 2 Abyssals! You're only a level 1 They'll rip you apart"

They both stared at each other and finally sighed in union

Kyle confessed in distress, "The Management is nuts We, the candidates for science academy, had a written test The ones who passed the test are dropped in the Abyss As long as we "survive", they'll take us in We'll spend our lives in labs Why test us with this Goddamn Abyss?"

Varian patted Kyle's shoulder and said, "Just stay away froes a few kiloht "I… et into Imperial Academy"

"They won't pick a Level 1 You must at least be Level 2" Kyle rebutted

"So I have to breakthrough to Level 2 before the test ends" Varian shrugged

Kyle looked at Varian like he was a o and noanted to break into Level 2

He would've written it off as drivel if it was so fire in Varian's eyes, Kyle felt maybe his friend really believed he could do it or… that he must do it despite any price

"Good luck, bro I'm sorry I can't help you out" he smiled at Varian

Varian nodded He wasn't optimistic, nor was he too pessimistic For him, this was an opportunity

'I have a syste it in this constricted ti'

He wanted to assess the situation and looked around With his Great hue

Like Kyle, many new students landed They wasted no ti to uninhabited places It was a smart choice

The combatants, however, were yet to take any action Since they were a few krouped with their acquaintances and discussed their plans

Varian divided the coroup and the eniuses of their schools and reached Level 2

The other group was the unaffiliated elite They had a strong air of strength They reached Level 3 They were the cream of the crop However, they had no expensive star treasures and hence must be unsolicited by any roup was the elite of major powers They had a luxurious line up of star treasures Weapon, body ar their stats,… in other words and they were all level 3 These people had it all Strength, wealth and background

Varian saw many of them started to sweat and pale

"Kyle, don't move" Varian suddenly said

"What" Kyle frowned and suddenly his face paled

Varian took a deep breath and calhts, visions of his own death It told him to run away

If he let it decide, he would have fled already

'So this is Abyss's will' Varian closed his eyes and faced the visions with tranquility

In each of the vision, he could see hi his neck, the others by slicing him in two It was truly a horrific experience for a normal person and would've broken the, but he quickly adapted He didn't fear death, but he had no plans to die He had things to do

These visions, however, took a toll on hiive his 100 to the battles At least, not yet

"Abyss will… oh round Sweat rolled down his face, and he was shi+vering slightly

"Cal" Varian tried to soothe Kyle Not everyone was able to face Abyss Will like hi attacked by Abyssals since their arrival, the only reason humanity just defended planets and never tried to attack Abysses was Abyss Will

Eight Abysses had a will each They served three purposes

First, in Abyss, any Abyssal had their stats increase by 5 It ht be a small amount in comparison, but the outcome of many battles was reversed due to this one s the Abyss, any non-Abyssal would face a psychological pressure in the fors It suppresses theth

Stacking these two effects, unless the power differential tilts heavily in humanity's favor, Abysses would be safe from invasions
