For the twentieth time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he knew it was dangerous, the ominous feeling only increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his encounter with Abyssals, and their meticulous assasination planning, he regarded them not through the prism of power, but that of intellect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite possessing a strong force, Abyssals resorted to stratagems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the possible dangers they could encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Poison will be useless. They'll have antidotes. Stronger force waiting? Most likely not.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He marched towards the valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Explosions? Cap said Crimson would check every Abyssal for explosives. His mental power is capable of penetrating many metals and as his level increases, he could perceive through more metals.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his comm. There was no message from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Things that can go wrong will go wrong. In my case, that's a given.' He reached the entrance of the special zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyssal bracelet shone and one step, he'd be in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'm not trying to risk. If they lose, then the enemy inside would surely be able to track me, a level 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they win, then great. I only need to make sure I don't die as a collateral.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He convinced himself and stepped in. The black building in the red plains greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to his expectations, it was completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, underground, the fight was reaching a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia wasn't at her strongest since the ground was separated from her by a very hard alloy floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An earth awakener was blessed in earth, a water awakener in water. So the current situation wasn't in her favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she directed her earth mana and created walls to confine her target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female Abyssal was rushing back in a hurry and smashed into the earthen wall full of spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh\" she hissed and raised her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacker caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca's fist broke her arm bones and punched at her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blurgh\" The female Abyssal endured the pain and bolted to her left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brown club swung at her and struck her head. She flew into the air and felt the world spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head was dizzy and she couldn't react properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could see were the eyes of the hateful human before darkness engulfed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca glanced down at the Abyssal corpse and turned to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson used his mental power to hold down the short abyssal while Ivy snapped his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one Abyssal was remaining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four rushed towards their captain. At that moment, they heard Sarah say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss Duke's glanced at them for a moment and turned to Sarah. He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah felt her heart stop for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping her guard on, she glanced at the area they were fighting in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fell from the upper floor, but before they knew it, the floor reverted to its position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The height and breath of the underground facility were high enough that they didn't feel congested. And subconsciously regarded as fighting in an open area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know why, but she yelled. \"Fallback.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss Duke watched them distance themselves from him and withdraw to the corners of the underground facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpses of the abyssals were strewn on the floor. Most of them died a cruel death. The tall man and the petite girl killed them like they were animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyssal duke was distressed for a moment before calming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no turning back now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be afraid. I was just kidding.\" He spoke with an innocuous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You trapped us?\" Sarah glanced at him and gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can that even do? You can break the alloys whenever you want.\" He pointed to the cracks on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locking them would work only if he had high grade alloys they couldn't break. Unfortunately, this facility didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, should we...?\" Crimson pointed to Olivia and asked. They could conduct ranged attacks on the Abyssal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah shook her head. She felt disturbed for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break the ceiling. I'll take care of him.\" She said and waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft blue light flashed and covered her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah slightly moved her feet and the next moment, appeared in front of the Abyss Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His red eyes clashed with her blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, an ice sword formed in her hands and she swung it at the Abyssal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think you've achieved something?\" Abyss Duke blocked her attack with his shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah waved her hand and a thorny ice whip slashed at him the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You only found the keys because we approached you first.\" He spat and barely dodged the whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another sword strike followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without the keys, you'll be helpless.\" He tried to block this sword strike too, but it broke through his defense and slashed at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword cut deep and blood gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Abyss Duke didn't flinch and continued. \"I sent the report already. This will be the only hideout destroyed by humans. You'll never find the passes in other dungeons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah stagnated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your efforts are futile.\" He grinned as the ice whip broke through his armor and pricked his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were equivalent to telling her that despite all the hardships, they only solved one dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would not be able to repeat this anywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Abyssals coming out on their own, they'd never be able to get their hands on the entry bracelets and hence, never be able to access the hideouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team of four destroyed the ceiling right then. With their power, they could now easily leave the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss duke saw this and squinted his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the first humans to enter the base. I didn't let even those shadow bugs in.\" He touched the deep cut on his chest and smelled his green blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then switched the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mind Awakener, did you sense what was under the floor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Crimson was startled and used his mental power to probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the building, he knew his ability to sense his surroundings was curtailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also not able to sense through the special alloy used in the building. He focused on the Abyssals and didn't try sensing deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mental sense couldn't penetrate through the floor's material. However, there were enough cracks and he was able to sense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though I didn't allow those bugs in, this is their warehouse. Of explosives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge mushroom cloud rose into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","26cab431fa7209050b4d0a5004ac6764fee56a0347458ea80f5a4da7f45c8541","divine-path-system-chapter-427","divine-path-system-chapter-426",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
