Chapter 206: The Abyss I
"Wow, it’s so much amazing than I ever anticipated"
"Yes Master Rein, you see that beast over there with long red double tails, it’s called a chira, there’s the higher echelon called Astral chira, but that one has two heads and is very powerful" Chief Letra kept pointing to different beast and explaining each of them and their attribute to Reinard.
’I miss when Belet was just a beast’ Rein watched all of the beast with interest. "But how are the beast able to roam freely without hurting anyone and no one seems to be concerned about that fact?" Reinard asked.
"Master Reinard, the tars we have here are the best of the best, everyone in this city is a Tar, because we also offer taming lessons it was Lord Erin’s idea of making more money"
’As expected of the duke of wealth’ Rein smiled.
"Did the lord Erin tell you?"
"Tell
what?" Rein asked with curiosity.
"I guess he has not ntioned but it should be hatching anyti soon, has the lord probably forgotten..."
"What is hatching?"
"No, no, don’t mind , I was lost in my head and thinking out loud"
Reinard put his head our of the window as he saw the big beast fly across. "D-d-d-d-dragon?!"
"No Master Rein, that one is a wyvern. It’s one of the two we have left, majority of them have been taken to the western continent, they were our best work" the Chief made a sad face.
"A wyvern...like dragons that failed to Ascend?"
"I believe that is just a folklore, wyverns are normal beast, so are wyrms and drakes, they are all of the the sa species which dragon is the higher echelon"
"You seem to know alot about beast?"
"Of course I have to. I oversee many of Lord Erin’s business in this continent I have to know alot of things" Chief Letra said while smiling.
The carriage finally stopped as it entered into a large estate. Rein ca down and stretched his arms a bit.
"That was a long journey"
Imdiately the servants lined in front of him and all said together.
"We welco young Master to the beast estate"
Rein blushed a little but kept his cool" he walked past them and into the mansion. "Chief, can we talk about anything later, I want to get alot of resting ti"
"Of course Master Rein" Chief Letra said and bowed down.
Rein entered into his room, ’Wow it’s large... I forgotten this feeling’
Everything in the room.was luxury from the ceiling, the Chandlers, the stools, the chairs, everything shined. Rein put off his clothes and sat on the floor.
"Resting was what I said I needed but I needed to do this"
He closed his eyes and started mana cultivation.
"I can use dark magic, but as dark magic cannot do the normal spells I have to increase my mana core stage by cultivating it so I can figure out what part of dark magic I’m into. I can’t also be proficient in using normal magic like calling fires, making ice spears even the spatial magic I can just use a few tricks, without mana my magic is very limited, but with dark mana, I might be able to do things only a necromancer can do... this were exactly great sage’s word. I don’t want to be a necromancer but if it ans I get to grow stronger through that, I might as well give it a shot, thanks to not having a class, all this is made possible. Normally while playing a ga, the mont you get a class, all skills and weapons and buffs you can get must always be class-related. But because I don’t have a class yet I can be jack of all trades and Master of known atleast until I complete my quest about Bahamot"
’According to great sage, what makes mana cultivation very hard is because of the condensing part, making your mana core improve stages, you first have to absorb mana from the environnt then condense them to your core, condensing then gives a sharp biting pain like one’s bowel are being twisted...I’ve been through that excruciating pain before, sadly... I’m not ready for it again, I don’t support those that says growth cos with pain, all I’ve been feeling all this while is pain, I almost lost my life twice..." Rein pulled out tell small bottles and arranged them in front of him.
"These are the high-grade elixirs I got from the goblin lair, of course if I have told the guild about it, they won’t let
have it. The lowgrade health potions Chief letra says they sell for a seven hundred silver coins which is seven gold coins, so this elixirs should probably cost close to a hundred gold coins each"
Rein took one and drank it.
{You have drank a high-grade mana elixir}
{Your mana output has sharply risen}
A sharp pain struck Rein’s abdon, but he gritted his teeth and held on, ’fuck, there is truly no growth without pain’
{You can accumulate mana at an higher rate}
Rein took the second bottle, this ti the pain was around his lungs.
{You have drank a hugh-grade mana elixir}
{Mana circuit is opening up}
{Mana will circulate your body if process is a success}
"A-ariel...what the...f-f-uck is going on?"
{Ancient-grade elixir: Astaroth’s experint I, said to have been crafted by a god who loves alchemy}
{Effect is very well trusted}
{If this works, you can continue to accumulate mana without needing to cultivate, just like how you recover aura through breathing}
Rein grasped for air as the pain in his lungs began to extend to his whole body.
********************
"I did know Master Rein said he needed so rest but I have no idea this was what he was talking about...it’s been ten days since we ca to the estate, yet Master Rein has not been outside, not even for food."
"I’m sorry, I can’t take this anymore!" Juan stood up angrily and went to Rein’s room, he placed his hands on the door know but stopped imdiately.
’What is this strangling sensation of death’
Chief Letra walked to him, "you feel it too..."
"What in the god’s na is he doing?"
"I have no idea, but for the last ten days, that sensation of death around him has been getting stronger. I’ve co across dark mages but I don’t think that is the case here...they dont give off this feeling of death"
anwhile,
Rein opened his eyes to a hall of darkness.
"After taking the tenth potion it’s like I lost consciousness, where is this?"
"Welco human...you have exceeded my expectations?"
"I don’t quite understand what you an?" Rein said.
"Every single human that is compatible with dark magic, we register here in the abyss managent office, I’m the world as of this present, there are seven thousand three hundred and thirty-six humans who are compatible with dark mana, three hundred and two of them have been contracted by either, abyss floor manager themselves or a mber of the abyss themselves."
"...is this so kind of joke" Reinard asked.
Just that mont a fire lit up and he could see a skeleton in robe siting on a chair and going through papers on the table.
"Oh, you seem to be a player, and there seems to be a lot of unanswered question of you, which puts you in a very tough position. I am sorry but we would have to interrogate you"
large tentacles of darkness stretched forth from the floor Rein was on and wrapped his body, but Chief Letra and Juanimdiately forced their way in and grabbed Rein’s leg.
"What the hell is happening?!" Chief Letra shouted.
"I don’t know but if we don’t pull him out, he will be gone! That kne we know for sure"
anwhile, Azes, was sitting on a mountain, his horns seem to have protruded further and beginning to take their carvings, his wings had grown larger and has so layers of feathers on it which was very unusual for a dragon, and his chest was white, which was another unusual thing. He watched around like the guardian of the mountain but sudden flinched.
"Father’s life is in danger!!" He flew off imdiately.
Also, Ben was instructing the new recruits when he suddenly fell to one knee, Katherine ran into where he was and they both stared at each other. They imdiately ran to Jon.
"We have to go to the central artic now. Master is in danger!!"
"That makes no sense, Rein can not be in danger...how exactly do you know that?"
"His presence is slowly leaving this world!! It’s like his dying"
"That is even more weird Reinard cannot die. Besides if he’s dying why is he not summoning you? I thought you said he could summon you whenever he wanted to."
"Yes, but-"
"Give it a rest Ben, if he’s not summoning you, that ans he does not need to...you guys should be preparing for the big event"
Katherine pointed one of daggers to Jon’s neck.
Jon looked at her face and gave a jerky smile, "Seriously?"
"We don’t need you to co with us, Ben has lost his wings since his evolution, all we need is for you to prepare us a faster way of getting to the Central artic" Katherine said while staring hard at him.
"I refuse" Jon replied to her.
She clenched her teeth, "please!!"
"I refuse" He said again.
"Why?" Ben said solemnly, "I thought he was your friend"
"Yes, he is"
"Then don’t you want to save him?!" Ben yelled at Jon.
Jon looked at him like he was a helpless child and began talking, "whatever is putting Rein’s life in danger. Do you think you can defeat it? I think you are getting too full of yourself. I was thinking you guys and Rein had a stronger bond but to think I was actually wrong. Isn’t he a master that both of you are soul-ly bounded to? Then you should know, that Reinard cannot die, not now, not anyti soon. If you dont know that much it’s a bit disappointing because all my expectations of you just got shattered". Jon walked out on both of them.

"Erindell, whatever is going on you know that boy must not die"
"I’m rather thrilled to see you visited , this is the first ti.in three hundred years, ryon"
