He charged forward directly without the slightest worry.

It seemed as though he had crashed against the enormous beast's head through the rainbow light.
Both of these gigantic creatures rolled around on the ground before flying far away. They left a deep scratch in the ground.
Garen's strength was apparently much stronger than that of this enormous beast. He did not release it in the cave previously. However, now that they were clashing together fully outside, the difference between the both of them could be seen clearly.
The enormous beast was clearly a monster that was inclined toward its own familial laws. It had not adapted t to facing a monster like Garen that purely conformed to the innate laws of things.
”Stop! Stop this!” He roared. ”We don't have to engage in this meaningless killing!”
Garen stopped in a timely manner after whipping his tail brutally against the waist of the enormous beast one last time. The enormous beast fell on the ground and rolled there a few times, causing earth-shattering, crashing noises and sending dust flying.
”What else did you want to say?” He looked at the other party in an engrossed manner.
”You… You have such powerful strength. You'll definitely achieve great successes in the Blood Wars! As long as I create a Sawtooth Shield for you, you'll surely become a slaughterhouse on the battlefield!” The enormous beast named Kratos explained loudly. ”I'm a master of Alchemy and weaponsmithing so I can help you forge these items! What would you say about helping me in return?!”
This enormous beast had currently broken one of its spider legs. Its body was filled with injuries and it faintly looked like it was in a sorry state. However, it came prepared with healing spells that were speedily treating its wounds now.
”Help me forge a weapon and shield?” This thought had entered Garen's mind long ago, but he had never anticipated to actually encounter a monstrous beast here that knew how to forge weapons and equipment. He glanced at the intense flames on his opponent's back while his mind could not help but be slightly hesitant.
When he noticed faintly that Garen was slightly suspicious, Kratos spoke hurriedly.
”I have a pretty good relationship with one of the Vice Chiefs of the Wanku Fortress' army because I've always been their head ironsmith. You may not be confident in my combat abilities but I'm definitely a specialist in the equipment-forging aspect! I'd also recommend you to go to the Wanku Fortress to participate in the Blood Wars.”
”The Wanku Fortress?”
”Yes, it's a great fortress nearby. You don't have to worry about this because their Chief of Army is the Level Thirteen elder demon named Eyeless Nada. This place will be organizing a major decisive battle during this period of time. You can take a look around and ask the other creatures if you don't believe me,” said Kratos loudly.
Garen felt that his back was becoming itchier and harder to endure. His mood was also affected, and that made him very uncomfortable.
”I'll take a look around before we go any further.” Once he had finished speaking, he flapped his wings immediately and flew into the distance before the enormous beast could answer.
After coming to the Abyss, he had spent the last few days withdrawing himself in the cave all along. He had yet to really tour the sights here.
While flying at high-speed, Garen quickly left the cave area in which he was initially located and entered a dark green forest and swamp.
He could vaguely see several old women with long, cascading green hair and long robes who were floating around above the swamp. These were Demon-Hags who went around scamming tourists, mercenaries, and even demons. Obviously, if your strength was great enough, they would simultaneously be the most cunning businesspeople who mainly specialized in selling information, intelligence, and souls.
When the Demon-Hags appeared, several little demons that were dragging black scorpion tails could be vaguely seen haunting the surroundings as well. Signs of living creatures had increased.
Garen continued flying towards the depths of the swamp forest. He could slowly see some gigantic, light green, sludge-type monsters. These monsters that were in a liquid state had bodies that were entirely green and sticky. They hid in the swamp and would suddenly appear to grab the tourists, dragging them into their bellies while they were still alive before digesting them.
However, the sludge monsters here did not seem to show any indication of hiding at all. Web-like blood vessels glistened throughout their green bodies. These blood vessels appeared to be giving off white light faintly, making them extremely eye-catching.
He saw a gigantic hundred-meter wide sludge monster talking to several Centaur Warriors now.
”This is the trader Gusca's domain. Dragon race outsider, you are not permitted to fly here.” Suddenly, a voice echoed from below. Immediately, Garen could feel an intense strength suppressing him toward the swamp below, forcing him to descend there.
He did not resist but landed there instead. He stood on a part of the swamp that seemed steadier before freezing ice into a flat area below his feet immediately so that he could stand there.
”White Dragon? ...Is he from White Dragon Mountain?”
”Probably not. He doesn't have the badge of White Dragon Mountain on his body.”
”This is a valuable moving treasure chest… If we could kill one Colossal Dragon…” the voice trailed off.
Garen's terrorizing eyes scanned the area.
That noise rang out again.
”Using force and fighting at close quarters are prohibited here. Only fair trading is allowed.”
”Traders?” Garen sneered several times. There were a few scattered tourists in his surroundings who were currently standing around and making deals with the Demon-Hags. Among them were humans, Orcs, and a rarely seen Earth Elemental.
There were so many traders in such a small area. One could well imagine that this domain seemed to be very famous here.
Garen walked around in the swamp while his heavy footsteps made banging noises wherever he stomped. He felt somewhat eye-catching and quickly shrunk his body into the size of a Dragon Whelp before flying around slowly.
These actions seemed very effective because a Demon-Hag, who was holding a walking stick, floated in front of him quickly.
”Outsider, is there any way that I can be of service to you?” Her shrill voice made people's scalps tingle and was enough to scare little children and make them cry on their own.
”I want to purchase a sufficient number of souls. Do you have them?” Garen grinned but managed to smile warmly.
”Souls?” cackled the Demon-Hag sharply. ”This will depend on the grade of the souls you desire… If they're low-grade souls, I can give you more than ten thousand of them. However, if you're looking for the high-grade souls that are Level Five and above, I only have a few in my hands…”
”I can really buy them?” Garen was slightly shocked. ”What if I want the souls of Level Ten powerhouses?”
The Demon-Hag's shrill laughter stopped abruptly.
”This… If you can give me a reasonable price that arouses the desire of the honorable Chief of Army, otherwise it would be impossible… You're also aware that we Demon-Hags work for the Fortress Master in reality…”
Garen pondered for a while and responded with some other rare materials that he needed for his Wizard Tower. He had never expected that all four of them would actually be available here.
”What do you use as the trading currency here?”
”Currency? No, no, no… We don't have such things here. We merely use soul-cocoons as the standard to measure values occasionally,” explained the Demon-Hag.
”How about it? I have the best enslaved souls, architects, craftsmen, and alchemists over here to help you establish a domain. I also have beautiful and cute elf slaves, and even little princesses with the bloodline of the Elf King, hee hee hee…”
