Chapter 583: Unstoppable Power! Angst's Confession!

Angst continued searching through the Dark Abyss Prison.

A day later, her brow furrowed slightly.

The reason was simple.

Angst felt her power rising once again!

Yes, after arriving at the Dark Abyss Prison, Angst's power had been rising nonstop.

Over the past thousand years, with Angst's aptitude, she could have completely struck at a higher level.

But she did not; she had actively suppressed her own realm.

Because once Angst steeped herself deeper and deeper in the darkness, the light within her heart would grow less and less.

However, since arriving at the Dark Abyss Prison, even with Angst suppressing herself, she could barely hold it down any longer.

The Dark Abyss Prison was filled with dark laws everywhere.

And Angst, as a powerhouse of the Second Rank of the Sacred Domain, could grasp some of the mysteries of those laws even with a single casual glance.

Moreover, as a fallen elf stained with the aura of darkness, dark power constantly surged through Angst's body. As that dark elf had said, on the surface alone, she looked more like a dark creature than the dark creatures themselves.

Every cell in her body was craving dark power, and in a place like the Dark Abyss Prison where darkness churned, even if Angst forced herself into slumber, she could not stop the growth of her own strength.

On the contrary, because she had suppressed herself for too long, a rebound had now begun.

The result of this rebound was that Angst was growing stronger day by day, in a way that could not be held back!

If this went on, it would not be good!

Others would be dying to grow stronger, but Angst did not want to grow stronger!

By Angst's estimate, even if she suppressed herself with all her might, within at most a hundred days, her power would reach the peak of the Second Stage of the Sacred Domain.

She might very well break straight through to the Third Stage of the Sacred Domain.

Once she reached the Third Stage of the Sacred Domain, under the assault of dark power, Angst could not guarantee whether she could still hold fast to her true heart.

However, in the short term, Angst could not find the exit of the Dark Abyss Prison.

Angst came to a halt.

Before her, an especially enormous boulder appeared.

This boulder stretched for over a hundred kilometers in length, larger than a mountain!

In fact, this boulder was hollow inside, with a great many passages.

In Angst's perception, the same kind of dark creatures lived within this boulder.

These dark creatures had no physical form; they were born directly from the darkness, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace. If they reached the Continent of the Gods, they would be genuine specters, or rather, evil spirits.

Angst pondered for a moment, then struck out suddenly, using dark power to attack this enormous boulder.

She also knew quite a few high-powered dark magics. Under the assault of these high-powered dark magics, that enormous boulder was continuously pulverized and destroyed.

The evil spirits inside did not even have time to react before they all turned to ash.

Under Angst's unrestrained assault, this boulder, many times larger than a mountain, was ground to powder in the short span of an hour.

Angst let out a soft breath.

Then she continued to strike out, destroying the surrounding boulders one after another.

Yes—if the rise of her power could not be stopped, then she would burn it off.

After about half a day, Angst finally felt that she had exhausted all the power within her body.

But soon, Angst's expression changed.

Because she sensed that, amid her continuous attacks, her comprehension of the dark laws was actually rising.

And within the Dark Abyss Prison, her power recovered at a speed beyond imagination.

In other words, her work over that half a day had been for nothing, producing only the opposite effect!

Angst's brow knit lightly.

As a beautiful elf, her looks were naturally of the top tier, hardly any different from Princess Chenxi's. The act of knitting her brow carried an extra measure of beauty when she did it.

After a moment of deliberation, a name leapt into her mind.

That name was—

The Lord of Flame.

"Perhaps I could try seeking help from the Lord of Flame."

Angst thought.

The fallen elves had already offered their faith to the Lord of Flame, but Angst, as one of the Sacred Domain, was not so easily willing to hand over her own faith.

She herself was already very close to the realm of the gods.

"I wonder whether the Lord of Flame will answer me."

Angst thought again.

Then, she began to pray.

Powerful as she was, when she prayed, a ripple of emotion unexpectedly stirred within her heart.

Even though she did not know whether the Lord of Flame would answer, Angst slowly poured out to the Lord of Flame the perplexity she had encountered.

This was the first time she had opened her heart to anyone other than herself.

Over a thousand years ago, when Angst was not yet a fallen elf, she would often exchange confidences with Olivia.

But ever since she became a fallen elf, for a thousand years, there had been no one who could make her open her heart.

Even the fallen elves under her command had no way of knowing what Angst was truly thinking when she fell silent.

Many perplexities had lain hidden in Angst's heart for well over a thousand years.

So once Angst began to speak, it felt as though she could not quite bring herself to stop.

Once she started, she spoke for several hours.

Slowly, Angst fell into her memories.

She even recounted the general course of how she had fallen out with Olivia a thousand years ago!

A thousand years ago, when Angst was clearing the Dark Forest, she discovered a rift on the western side of the Dark Forest.

From that rift, powerful dark creatures kept surging out.

Angst and Olivia held the western side, stopping these powerful dark creatures from advancing east.

But as time went on, the dark creatures surging out grew more and more powerful, and Olivia was even injured by the dark laws wielded by a dark creature that had half a foot into the Holy Domain.

It was precisely because of being wounded by the dark laws that Olivia had to nurse her injuries for a full thousand years.
