Chapter 444: Abyss (1) (1/2)
”Crocodiles, Crocodiles everywhere”
As a series of reale cave, the Abyss felt like a pretty bad place to take a rest
No matter where he went, hostile creatures appeared Once one of those creatures is killed, it disappears in golden particles but lately respawns once again
How so? The Abyss is a rift through time and space, a fallen reality that holdsthemselves and react to any new interference like Jon
These Records and Memories of the World were just there as a sort of protection to the links between the worlds, all of these Recorded Pasts and Realities are dangerous spots and places that even the strong can't pass easily
The place Jon cah at first was a marshland with many reptiles It fitted the description of Black Marsh, the hoonians
At first, it was a horde of Crocodiles that Jon tore apart easily with the [Ebony Blade] These creatures were good against eneration ability so the 'Absorb Vitality' enchant with them quite easily
Sadly, it was i is just made of space and Time
Growl
”Hooman, no fish here! Why there is no fish here?”
On the other hand, there was a tragic cat that kept searching the ic as ever
”You can eat so preserved”
”Too salty or too cold”
Sadly, there wasn't much Jon can do Due to the unstable law of space around him, he can't enter the [Cube] at all but still, he can take out things and put in things The reason was that the [Cube] had a more stable space than the Abyss
Basically, the [Cube] was its own World, a sub-World to the Mundus As a sub-World, it can't be more stable than its source, it also can't be accessed easily in a lesser environs inside the [Cube] that he can't do outside like enlarging its space and adding rooical and impossible in Mundus
Thisto bethan what Jon could think of
But now, it was time to focus on the prize
The Mission is to retrieve the severed part of Azura's Divinity
When Jon corrupted Azura's Star, her power in the star was supposed to return to her but another being stole it and it is now sealed in the Abyss
Daedric Artifacts are parts of their owners The nearest example to them is the Sin Artifacts that Jon created Jon ic power but he used parts of his own Soul in the process creating an extension of his own in the Jon fro out the Soul Extension of the owner Itone of his Sin Artifacts is a nightmare
He may have done that to Azura but Jon didn't know the identity of the one that stole the fraguilt but the Labours seemed like a fair punishment for now
Still, Jon was thrown in the Abyss without a clue
Roar
”Stupid lizard, give me fish”
Nefertiti vented her frustration on a crocodile as she landed on its head breaking its skull and jaw
The reason why she was frustrated that she can't access the [Cube] as well and the Shadow World does not exist in the Abyss which is after all the Shadow of the world itself That's why Nefertiti can't take a quiet nap in the Abyss
As the pair traveled, Jon came to an idea
He cast [Bound] on a crocodile and observed the effect
”damn! Look at that… I bounded it like a Daedric creature”
”H I can just control the crocodile-like a conjured being now But I don't think I can Conjure anything from the Abyss once we return to Mundus I ic Don't care, gimme fish!+”
”Okay, okay… I er now I am still proud of her Jax, so behind Jon all the ti creatures who entered the Abyss with Jon but as they were inside the Cube, they couldn't stay in there when it forcefully rejects all living things with high-grade souls
Jax, of course, was acting as Jon's servant during the whole trip
”We have been walking for days!” Jax murmured
”Hours” Jon corrected him
”R… Really?” Jax exclaimed
”This is the Abyss, no one can tell how time works here”
”Then how do you tell?”
Jon didn't answer He was thankful to the Soul Extension gifted to hi he calls Syste is… seconds passed like minutes and if he strayed too far fro slower or faster based on the difference in time
Days passed on them but the recorded ti experience I ever had The shi+vering Isles and Quagerous” Jon said
(True… you are in deep shi+t, my friend) Shadow spoke
”Thank you”
(So, have you figured out any way to navigate in the Abyss and find what you are looking for?)
”Not really I a my head sane amidst all this crap”
(Here's a quick tip, you need to have a piece of Azura to find another piece of Azura)
” Seriously?” Jon stopped as he took out Azura's Star
”I don't particularly feel anything Even if I made a Divination, the Time law is flawed around me”
Divination spells like Clairvoyance need a stable law of Tiic that collects inforh space, Divination gathers infore, a place with a messed up law of Time and space is hell
(Why don't you use the old fashi+oned way?) Shadow suggested
”And that is…”
(Ask the cat)
”What? Wait… No! I won't let Nefertiti sniff it, are you mad?”
(Your own risk then) Shadow said and retreated quietly
”Da? It is Azura's Star Can you locate a si with the same Soul Scent?” Jon asked
Nefertiti turned to him with blank expressions, she then shapeshi+fted into her hulare, she looked at Jon
”Do you think I ao, Hooman?”
