Chapter 483 The First Battle Amidst Chaos

The arc of the frost scythe as it slashes down is beautiful and very elegant.

If you listen carefully, you can almost hear the nimble sound of a cold blade cutting through the air.

Monquia estimated that the blade of this large scythe had been carefully polished. Although the rest of the blade looked dilapidated and worn, covered in dust and dirty bandages, the most important part, the blade, was incredibly sharp and clean. The almost mirror-like sloping surface of the blade, surrounded by frost, resembled a frozen lake in the dead of winter, without any ripples, yet concealing a murderous intent.

However, the blade's curve continued to cleave until it disappeared into the ground.

But there was no sound of flesh and bones being cut, and not a single drop of blood was spilled on the ground.

……

In that brief, almost nonexistent moment, Milo sensed some subtle, peculiar changes, changes that came from the order and rules surrounding him.

At the same time, there was a sense of familiarity, because he couldn't be sure if he had actually experienced a similar situation, so he could only treat it as an illusion.

...

At this moment, the countryside on the outskirts of the city is empty and desolate.

Under the moonlight, there was only Milo and the scythe nailed to the ground; the rest of the area was filled with howling cold wind and trembling, mottled tree shadows.

Milo turned his head to look at the plain. In the chaotic, dark sky, he could not find the outline of the Night Demon's wings, nor its burning eyes. On the ground, everything was quiet. He could not see even a single roaring black goat cub's enormous body, nor could he find any trace of a battle.

Further up the hillside, no family members or believers could be seen.

Even the owner of that scythe-like weapon, Monquia, and his hunter followers have all vanished without a trace.

It doesn't seem like everyone "left," but rather that Milo left them.

……

Naturally, young Crow was not here either.

Milo was momentarily dazed.

He frowned:
"This is unreasonable."

Looking back...

Where is my crowbar?

He circled around, glanced at the distant jungle, and confirmed that even Rebecca and Enid were no longer there.

Milo became the only one left.

The once bustling scene suddenly became deserted, making one feel as if the wind outside had dropped several degrees, as if harboring malice.

Milo pulled the long-handled scythe from the ground and slung it over his shoulder.

I turned my head to look in the direction of the city.

He saw scattered, quiet lights in the mist.

Turning to the church bridge, the peaceful glow of the cathedral and the Starry Bell Tower still lingers above the low clouds in the sky, and in the hazy light, one can almost see the outline of the golden tree reflected in the water.

...

Although everything is fine.

But Milo couldn't calm down, because he knew that the space he was in didn't exist in reality, nor in the dream world, but in an abyss world that was even more illusory and complex than either of the two.

Yes, he has fallen into the abyss once again.

Compared to the last time, when he actively entered the abyss through deep thinking after defeating Imnar, Milo this time should be considered as passively entering the abyss without realizing it.

He didn't even have a clear concept of the abyss.

But what is certain is that everything in the last abyss has been annihilated and shattered. Milo witnessed the end of that era, including everyone he knew, the entire kingdom, and the church.

...

But when you revisit the place, it's as if nothing ever happened.

He had an urge to go into the city and see if Emma and the others were there, or to go into the church in the opposite direction and see if there was another Daisy or something like that in the abyss.

But he controlled the thought.

Because he knew in his heart that everything that happened in the abyss was infinitely close to reality, and its only purpose was to disturb his mind, make him doubt himself, and perhaps even eventually sink into it, disappearing along with this era.

……

"Could it be that the guy we saw in the abyss last time wasn't Raven, but his teacher?"

"Does this guy also have the ability to drag people into the abyss?" "Otherwise, how do you explain my sudden entry into the abyss..."

Milo found this somewhat puzzling.

But it seems that this time is slightly different from the last time.

Because last time it took Milo some time to find a way out, this time, Milo seems to have a clear idea of ​​how to get out of here from the very beginning.

Or rather, he came with a mission. The detail is that his first reaction after entering the abyss was to pick up the scythe-like weapon that belonged to Monquia.

...

Milo habitually extended two fingers and pressed them against his carotid artery.

He could clearly sense that some malice was approaching him.

That malice comes from the abyss.

……

But Milo did not choose to leave. Instead, he stood on the wasteland and waited for the source of malice that could appear at any moment.

As time went on, he began to hear muffled thunder coming from the sky.

He soon saw something—

The starry sky overhead was obscured by dark clouds, one of which had the outline of a human figure. Despite the dense cloud cover, two bright stars shone from the top of this humanoid head, like two giant eyes. Its face was twisted and terrifying, like a distorted and tormented human face; it appeared and disappeared in the gale, its withered hair swaying like a ghost in the wind along with its body…

This was the second time Milo had seen the form of this Great Old One.

The last time was also in the abyss.

Indeed, this enormous human figure serves as the messenger of world destruction.

The difference is that last time, its spearhead was aimed directly at all living beings within the visible range of this world, crushing all will to resist, and it was indifferent to everything.

This time, however, its malice is clearly directed at Milo...

...

"Itakkuya".

It is the real name of the figure surrounded by thick dark clouds in the sky.

Windrunner, the walking death, the great white god of silence.

These are the titles recorded in known documents, but what is truly known to the public is that they are "not found in totem gods".

No one knows why a Dominator doesn't have a corresponding totem lineage.

But Milo, who entered the abyss a second time, might have come to understand this better.

Another little-known aspect of the past that he knew was that Imnar spent his entire life playing, replacing, deceiving and fooling others, so no one knew its true face, and in the end even it lost itself, and naturally never had a lineage or totem.

Unlike Itacua, it is "not visible in totems".

It's because it's trapped in the abyss.

……

As for why Milo was so certain of this, it was because of the clear malice directed at him.

Itakya, who was once trapped in the abyss, for some inexplicable reason, acted as the executioner of the abyss, destroying those illusory worlds that never existed time and time again.

It also has an important origin.

That was its birth mother—the Forest Black Goat, "Sabu Nicholas".

...

In that case, it's hard to understand why its malice was directed at Milo, right?
It seems that young Crow's words came true.

From the moment Milo harmed the incarnation of the Mother Goddess, the many offspring of this supreme Mother Goddess who gave birth to all things would harbor endless malice towards Milo. This was the first step in Klaus's instigation of chaos, but in reality, it was also the result of Milo's own actions.

...

The wind howled across the plains, as if countless sinister creatures were lurking in the clouds, raging and roaring.

The colossal figure of Itakua, towering above the sky, had already enveloped most of Milo's field of vision.

Its two bright, burning stars, like eyes, emitted a deep purplish-red light, gazing down at the tiny Milo on the ground.
