Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 406 - 22: Abyss Watcher

If Sister Fried’s faction has a tendency, Su Ziyu thinks she should be more inclined to extinguish the fire.

But if the fire is extinguished, no one knows what will happen, perhaps all life will slowly end this way. This probably isn’t something Sister Fried would want to see, as she really enjoys sitting by the bonfire in a daze. Su Ziyu once asked her, and she said she liked the warmth of the flame. For the fireless embers, this warmth is certainly worth cherishing.

She also has her desires.

Just that Sister Fried hides them very deeply; Su Ziyu cannot guess for now. Perhaps, going into some Painting World might reveal something.

The world is about to face destruction.

All the natives here have their own plans, but regardless of what their plans are, in the end, it’s all about strength.

The night passed quickly.

Julia left and hasn’t appeared again; she might really be searching for the new King of Wandering Souls.

"Let’s go." Su Ziyu looked up at the sky outside and said.

Sister Fried quickly stood up and reached out to pull the Spiral Sword from the bonfire in front of her. Accompanied by scattering sparks, that ceremonial Spiral Sword disappeared from her hand.

Since Sister Fried has promised to help, Su Ziyu’s first target is definitely the Lord of Embers in this world.

According to his previous analysis, the easiest to deal with among all the lords of embers is the Abyss Watcher - Falan Undead Squad.

Hence, his destination this time is Falan Keep.

"The Falan Undead Squad was born to combat Abyssal Erosion."

Sister Fried said softly as she walked, "They once destroyed a country to resist the erosion of the abyss."

"However."

"Facing the abyss also means bearing the consequences of being eroded by it; Falan Keep has been sealed off for a long time."

"No one knows what’s inside."

The abyss refers to a special force in this world.

Demons are born in the Chaos Bed, and the abyss appeared when the Age of Fire began. It is an extremely special source of pollution, and those interfered by the abyss exhibit some obvious traits: erosiveness, contagiousness, human explosiveness, madness attributes, and suppression by flames. To some extent, the abyss in this world is an incarnation of malignant pollution, a dark aspect born as the Age of Fire began.

As long as the First Flame exists, the abyss cannot be annihilated, only suppressed.

Those enemies with glowing red eyes are likely eroded by the abyss.

The Falan Undead Squad is a group specialized in fighting the abyss. Upon discovering signs of abyssal erosion, they would unhesitatingly kill everyone, even if it means annihilating a country.

Because once the abyssal pollution erupts, the speed of its spread is astonishingly fast!

The abyss follows human nature.

Some believe the abyss has a significant connection with human desires, but no one can confirm exactly what the abyss is.

"Ahead here is Falan Keep."

Sister Fried pointed at some dilapidated buildings faintly visible in the distance, "But Falan Keep has been completely sealed off. Trying to get inside will be a bit troublesome." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The Falan Undead Squad has already transmitted fire once.

After the last Fire Transmission ended, the Falan Undead Squad fell into slumber.

However, when they were later awakened, they felt the abyssal erosion spreading, so they abandoned the command to transmit fire and returned directly to the desolate Falan Keep, preparing to battle the abyss once more.

Perhaps, for them, suppressing the abyss is more important than Fire Transmission.

Of course.

It might also be that they’ve truly grown weary of Fire Transmission.

From Su Ziyu’s perspective, dragging a lord of embers, who has been burned once, out to burn again is indeed a bit excessive, almost like whipping a corpse. But from this, it can be seen that the strong ones in this world are already dwindling; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to bring these already burned lords out to burn again.

Such a world truly seems difficult to evaluate.

Desperate times call for desperate measures?

If not for this, why would I also be marked as a lord of embers?

"This used to be the Black Forest." Sister Fried said as she walked, "Be careful."

"There are quite a few monsters nearby."

As soon as she finished speaking.

A strange ’gurgle’ sounded by Su Ziyu’s ear, and then a grotesque monster with a head full of lumps, on all fours, lunged forward. The monster, whose nature was unknown, had some horns on its head, tendrils similar to braids, moved swiftly, emitting a peculiar sound as it advanced.

Clang.

The Yirushir Straight Sword shot out, and accompanied by the faint crystal glow in midair, the monster’s head was instantly severed by Su Ziyu.

The sword looks very stylish to wield.

But it has a disadvantage: it stands out prominently and basically attracts the enemy’s attention upon release, failing to achieve any concealment effect. The Yirushir Straight Sword emits a faint crystal glow, and its blade shines dimly white even in the darkness when swung.

"Let’s go." Su Ziyu said softly.

The two ignored the monsters here and directly headed towards Falan Keep.

On the way.

They encountered some bizarre crow-people, who have similarly become undead.

There are also disgusting red-eyed curse frogs nearby, capable of casting curse-type abilities.

By utilizing Spiritual Flight, Su Ziyu avoided many complicated paths, directly heading towards Falan Keep in the direction guided by Sister Fried. It is a fortress that has been established for a long time, with several tall towers outside on which large flames that never extinguish burn, and the outermost area showing dilapidated, collapsed signs. The entrance to the keep appears to be completely sealed.

"Something is coming." Sister Fried suddenly spoke.

Su Ziyu nodded, "Seems like a big guy."

Outside Falan Keep has been transformed into a swamp, with some toxicity in the swamp.

At this moment, a big guy is speeding horizontally from within the swamp; upon closer inspection, it is a gigantic crab, nearly four or five meters in diameter, looking similar to the crabs Su Ziyu has seen in the past, except this one is dead yet moving, covered with hard shell on its surface, and overgrown with moss and weeds.

If it were alive, it should be a very tasty dish.

——"Swamp Giant Crab! [Corruption] [Living Dead]"

It seems most animals surviving in this world are scavengers.

"You or me?" Su Ziyu turned to ask.

Sister Fried’s palm directly manifested a huge scythe, and she said softly: "Leave it to me."

A streak of black flame slashed through.

Sister Fried’s figure instantly appeared atop the swamp giant crab, and with a flash of cold light, the swamp giant crab was split in two.
