Chapter 28 - Cross Tunneling

Varian rushed to the tattered castle The twenty Abyss Knights guarding the castle were crushed into piles of flesh and bones

Holding hi, he entered the castle with fear and hope

The once bright white floor was cracked like a brokenand Abyss Lord were now in rubble

The corpses of Abyssal Knights and the feht They were all crushed to death

'Blue Flash!+' Varian knew the culprit He had second thoughts about trusting her but since he was already in, he decided to go all the way

Varian kept his vigilance high in case an Abyssal was still alive, but he soon realized his worries were futile

There was not a single living soul in the castle It was littered with corpses and the s flesh only made it even more unbearable to venture

Varian was a person as unfazed by even the toughest challenges but the seeing hundreds and hundreds of mutilated corpses still shook his le shred of mercy in him

The price his own race paid in blood and tears was far greater

In the first war of 400 YAB, Abyssals suddenly appeared and broke all but one line of human's defense

All moons were occupied, and space was controlled by Abyssals The only safe place for humans was their own planet Even the planet was under constant attacks

The disruption of interplanetary movement disrupted the solar system trade and had major repercussions

Huh to protect all 9 planets

The bitter war for survival continued for 40 years until hu with the help of Heaven's Will

These 40 years were the darkest period in 500 years of eneration spent their life unsure about their survival

Historians described life in that age:

"70 children were orphans by the age of 10 Every boy and girl past 16 had to fight There were several instances were Abyssals al their victory was absolutely sickening sacrifice of brave huer enemies with at the price of life

At least 40 human population perished Most of it was under 20

Anyone and everyone only had one wish Survive today"

'Just how much did people in that era suffer' Varian la halls, dining rooms, and reached the room with the most luxurious door which still looked intact

'This is it! Abyss Lord's private room' Varian touched the door to open it

"Booround

Varian took a breath to calht literally ruined the castle He cautiously entered and surveyed the rooer than his house by several times The floor was covered with the carpets ic beast bones and quilts froe office style table and chair On the table were three human skulls Presumably, the "prize" hunted by Abyss Lord

Naturally, the dimensions of every object were in accordance with Abyssal standards

Varian searched the roo contribution"

But there were tooof practical value

'Thereloads of aura crystals, there ive up and continued to search There was no progress

Varian knew his tih the disturbance here hts in the city, they'd come to check the situation, eventually

The only reason they didn't arrive yet was because they didn't know the fighting here already ended and didn't want to be caught up in the fight The Awakener who sliced the hill into two could also kill all Abyssals in the city with no effort

Despite having some time, Varian's situation wasn't optih he had full aura now, his injuries would take at least a dozen hours to coive up searching here and escape the city

Varian kicked the table in frustration and slumped in the chair

"Whoosh"

The table shi+fted to the side, and a mystic platforot up from the chair, and the platfor to its position

'Therethe chair'

He sat down, the table slid to the side and platforain This time, he "willed" the items to approach him, and they did

There were only three pieces of special leather paper It ritten in Abysse, Abyssal's official language

Varian didn't know the language, but he had so that did

"Hey, do you know Abysse?" He asked the AI of his cadet comm
