All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 878 The Devil's Redemption

A modern city at night is full of lights and music.

The colorful neon lights turn Tokyo into a city that never sleeps.

Although Tokyo in the 1980s and 1990s did not seem as prosperous as in later generations, it was at the peak of its neon era, with an even more lively atmosphere and consumption capacity.

It seems like everyone in this era is in a carnival.

However, in this atmosphere, the high-rise buildings piled with sandbags and various machine gun positions seemed somewhat conspicuous.

The big beautiful garrison and Neon's own guards are distributed here, as if guarding the hustle and bustle below.

The two Japanese soldiers leaning on the roof were standing guard at the moment, but they were chatting with a bit of excitement while smoking.

"I don't know whether this world is good or bad."

"I think this is a blessing from Amaterasu, giving us an extra piece of land we've always dreamed of!"

"Look at those beautiful soldiers who used to be so arrogant. After losing their connection with their homeland, won't they eventually have to humble themselves?"

"We have regained our autonomy and gained a vast land with sufficient resources. This is all God's gift!"

"But those monsters that haunt us..."

"If you want to obtain God's gift, you must endure the test. Compared to the rewards, this little danger is nothing. The mineral resources there are extremely rich. In addition, our production capacity is no longer limited, so our industrial production capacity can be fully utilized!"

It was obvious that one of the two was a soldier who was more right-wing, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.

No one knew what happened, but their entire Neon suddenly disappeared from the earth and came to such a hellhole place.

With only neon lights and the nearby sea, they panicked for a long time at first.

If an island nation loses external supplies, its own resources will not be enough.

But they soon discovered that the neighboring world was a strange continent that looked a bit like the style of ancient humans.

Although there is a legend about a demon in that world that likes to disguise itself among the crowd and devour human organs.

But after discovering some of them and sending them away with a 12.7 caliber machine gun and a few gun-mounted grenades, we realized that the "demon" was nothing more than that.

The only trouble is the disguise.

What followed was the grand colonial era. Neon itself had a large population, and the colonists enslaved the indigenous people there and continuously transported supplies to the mainland.

And maybe it’s a gift from God that the residents there also speak Japanese!
Although it was inevitable that demons would infiltrate and begin to lurk in Neon.

But overall it is still positive.

The huge profits that can be brought from colonizing the ignorant natives under the epoch-making suppression of modern weapons are enough to suppress the adverse reactions caused by the great changes in Japan.

However, just as they were chatting, a figure suddenly appeared beside them as if invisible, stretched out his hand and tapped their acupoints, making them unable to move.

This immediately caused the two soldiers on the rooftop outpost to show expressions of horror in their eyes.

What's going on here?
A demon?
"Don't worry, I'm a human, not a demon. I just want to ask you a few questions."

The man was wearing black and had a mask on his face. Only a pair of sharp eyes could be seen outside the hood.

"Understood, just blink and I'll help you untie the sound."

The two of them blinked frantically, causing Shi Wen to nod his head, and then he untied the mute point of one of them.
"Why did you set up a defensive position on the roof? Can demons fly?"

"Some of them can indeed fly, but they are placed on rooftops mainly because demons often like to use blind spots like rooftops and their super physical fitness to jump and move. We are guarding and also preventing. Since the deployment of this kind of sentry post that can overlook the surrounding area, the number of demons hurting people has decreased a lot."

The soldier whose acupoints had been unblocked spoke quickly.

"I see. Then how many monsters are there? How many are there in your world? How many are there in the other world?"

"I don't know. I'm just an ordinary soldier. There is no internal notification. There are only occasional reports in the news. At present, attacks in our country are not frequent. The demons are mainly capable of hiding and can transform into various human appearances, but they are not difficult to kill..."

He paused here, as if realizing that this person might have come here specifically to get information, and then continued quickly.
"In that demon world, there is a human organization fighting against the demons. Under their command is a silver-eyed slayer called 'Great Sword', who possesses the terrifying power to kill demons with cold weapons, and his physical strength exceeds that of ordinary people."

"Are you working with that organization?"

"I don't know. I think I just came into contact with it. The specific content is not known by a soldier like me."

After asking a lot of questions, Shi Wen hesitated for a while and decided not to kill the two men. He just pressed their acupoints again and made them fall asleep.

He looked around and prepared to leave through the stairwell.

I had also been jumping up and down on the roof before, luckily nothing went wrong.

"Ah, intelligence pioneering work is really difficult. No wonder few people are willing to take on this kind of work. Although the rewards are high, it is really not something that humans can do..."

He had a good awakening talent and learned some internal strength that was passed down from generation to generation. He entered the abyss smoothly and became inflated in an instant.

As a result, when I took on this kind of exploration mission for the first time, I found that the requirements of this seemingly insignificant task were really high, and it required strength, adaptability, reaction, camouflage, etc.

It's really not suitable for newcomers.

"It's not something that can be accomplished with just enthusiasm..."

Shi Wen sighed. The development area had hit a bottleneck. In another direction, he seemed to have encountered green-skinned goblins from White Star City in White Star Province.

Since they were unable to deal with the forces like White Star City, the development zone stopped exploring in that direction and can only look in other directions.

"At the moment, it seems that there is nothing good here. It is just an ordinary technological world that can be used as a resource area and a transit rest area. It would be best if we could kill a monster and see what explodes..."

But just as Shi Wen opened the door and entered the stairwell.

puff~
The voice came from behind, making him frown, and then he quickly turned back.

When he opened the iron door on the roof again, he saw the two soldiers who had been knocked unconscious by him before, lying in a pool of blood...

-

In front of the two corpses, a demon with a hideous face, a human-like appearance, exposed blood vessels, golden pupils, and a mouth full of sharp teeth was chewing continuously.

The sharp claws on his hands had already ripped open the two soldiers' stomachs, and his mouths were now stuffed with slippery internal organs.

After noticing Shi Wen, he glanced sideways, as if he saw him coming.

After swallowing the contents in his mouth, he made a hoarse sound.

"How lucky! I didn't expect a third one would be delivered."

Shi Wen looked at the two people who had fallen asleep after being acupunctured by him, and saw that they had died tragically because of his actions, and anger appeared on his face.

"I didn't even kill them! You deserve to die!"

As he finished speaking, his feet exploded and his step was about ten feet.

In just two or three steps, he quickly reached the side of the demon.

This made the demon, who had a hideous smile on his face, look stunned.

"So fast?"

Without waiting for any reaction, he looked at the palm force coming from the other party through the air, and seemed to hear the sound of a dragon's roar in his ears.

Ang~
A gust of air pressure came from the air, followed by the second palm, and the third palm layer by layer. Finally, the palm forces gathered together and hit the demon's resisting arm.

Without relying on weapons, he had already broken the demon's arm and pressed it heavily on his chest.

puff~
Disgusting blood spurted out of the demon's mouth, as if its body was shattered.

However, even with this injury, his other hand, which was not affected, grabbed towards Shi Wen without slowing down at all.

The sharp claws caught Shi Wen off guard and left several bloody marks even though he had to dodge. He then quickly distanced himself from the claws.

"Is your vitality so strong?"

Shi Wen was a little stunned, then he pulled out two large-caliber special pistols from his waist.

In the demon's confused look, he pulled the trigger, snap~
His head was blown up like a watermelon.

Shi Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the corpse fall to the ground and the willpower began to gather in the opponent's claws.

He looked at his wound and took out a broad-spectrum anti-venom potion from his backpack and applied it to the wound.

If it's poisonous, then it's troublesome...

"Yo, you did a good job kiddo."

A somewhat rebellious and hoarse voice sounded.

Countless bats gathered before his eyes, and finally formed the figure of a man in a tuxedo with red eyes.

Just standing here quietly brought Shi Wen endless fear.

what is this?
demon?

Another one? !

The gunshots here seemed to have attracted the attention of the nearest neighboring outpost, and a bright searchlight was already sweeping towards this side.

As if he had noticed this, Makabala grabbed the stone text with a casual reach, wrapped it in shadow, and then, like a ghost, he clung to the back wall of the building and rushed towards the downtown area below.

The mass of the Great Tomb of Nazarick is too large. Even with abundant fel energy as a power source, the reactions of starting, moving, and stopping are relatively slow.

The advance team in the front is still mainly composed of aerospace carriers.

Rely on "flexibility" to explore the way ahead.

And this is the area that Makabala is responsible for.

Soon afterwards, Makabala took the people to an apartment.

"Mr. Makabala is back? Is there any gain from this?"

Kirito looked at the Lord of Dread who came in through the window like a bat, and greeted him.

There are four people in their group.

Makabara, Kirito, Asuna, and CC.

Kirito and Asuna mainly discovered a country similar to Neon and wanted to come over to take a look and confirm it.

Although I realized that it was not my hometown, I was able to integrate into the place relatively normally thanks to my familiarity with the neon lights.

Now Kirito and Makabala are sharing a room, and Asuna and CC are sharing the room next door.

"Well, there are some gains."

Makabala transformed into a human being, who was polite and looked like a gentleman.

And when he looked at Kirito, there was an expression of amusement and interest in his scarlet eyes.

The Lord of Dread likes to play with others like puppets. He thinks this guy named Kirito can do something interesting here...

As if they heard the noise from here, CC and Asuna from next door came over and knocked on the door.

After Kirito opened the door, CC, who was biting on a pizza, curiously poked his head at Shi Wen and said
"What did you catch?"

Although Makabala is the strongest in the team, the command of the team this time lies with CC who possesses the Scroll of Holy Will.

CC, who obtained part of the origin of the C world, was born with part of the holy will. Although his strength did not keep up, his essence was indeed higher!

“Should be a pioneer.”

Makabala looked at Shi Wen, who was meditating with his eyes closed, as if he wanted to use the pioneer's characteristics to escape, and poked him with his fingertips when he was about to succeed.

A sharp pain completely interrupted Shi Wen's return.

This feeling of seeing hope and then being pulled back again almost made Shi Wen collapse.

But his expression actually brought a happy smile to Makabala's face.

"You have such a bad taste."

CC did not stop Macabara's actions. Although she was scolding him, the witch was still watching him with relish while eating pizza.

"You, you are also pioneers?"

Shi Wen was a little shocked.

In fact, one’s own strength to explore these new worlds is considered to be quite high.

The big Boundary Breakers above them are too high up to consider opening up new land unless there are strong orders.

And the guy who had easily subdued me before and was able to move around the city with such speed and stealth, in terms of strength, was probably at the level of a big Boundary Breaker!
Apart from relying on the pioneer characteristics to catch the enemy by surprise the first time, he couldn't find a way to crack it.

The communication was successful just now, and he was so excited that he thought about selling the information when he got back. Maybe some big shot would be interested and come to take a look.

But all this was shattered with that poke of the finger!
Why would such a strong person come here?
Is there any unknown secret in this world?

It’s over!

If there really is such a secret, I would probably become a dead person.

Only the dead can keep secrets...

But before he could think of anything, Makabala had already injected a wisp of evil energy into Shi Wen's body through his fingers.

The intense corrosiveness of the evil energy instantly made Shi Wen scream.

However, the sound was directly blocked by Makabala's silence.

After a while, he loosened his fingers

"Don't make any assumptions. You are the prisoner and you have no right to ask questions."

With the previous evil energy injection, Shi Wen was already soaked in sweat, which made Kirito look reluctant. Then he took the initiative to speak.
"We just want to ask a few questions. As long as you answer truthfully, we won't hurt you. The most we can do is not let you go back temporarily." Although it was because Kirito spoke with kindness, but with the action of Makabala, both the red cop and the white cop came out.

He immediately broke Shi Wen's will and extracted a lot of relevant information from him...

-

The towering Great Tomb of Nazarick was like a suspended mountain, moving above a turbulent and chaotic sea. Neither the strong wind nor the thunder had any effect on this flying fortress.

Looking up from the perspective of the sea is daunting. A pirate ship is breaking through the waves, fleeing in a panic, and just wants to get as far away as possible.

Tao Yu on the throne was still digesting the energy he had absorbed from so many demons and converting it completely into his own use.

"Glorious Empire?"

After seeing Makabala's figure directly through the mirror in front, Tao Yu raised his eyebrows.

The Glory Empire is a powerful empire consisting of several states bordering the Endless Sea. It is the nearest gathering place for other pioneers in the old Xingyao frontier area and is also a city under the jurisdiction of the Glory Empire.

So Tao Yu was not very unfamiliar with it and still had some information in his hands.

"The emperor of the empire is a god they worship directly, and several states can be highly centralized. The power of the royal family of the Glory Empire should be far greater than that of the Bai family. However, there seems to be some trouble in the Glory Empire recently, and the emperor has not appeared for a long time..."

After all, it is the force closest to the old frontier area. Although most of the city-states under its jurisdiction have a high degree of autonomy, Xingyao City will definitely go there to find out more.

While listening to some subsequent descriptions of the world's intelligence, Tao Yu also found information about a healing anime in his mind, Claymore!
The story of a group of half-demon girls exorcising demons.

Thinking of the content of this healing show, Tao Yu also tapped his fingers, and then said calmly
"CC is at least a core member of the Witch Church."

CC, who was eating pizza on the other side, was also stunned at this time, and pointed at himself, as if to say "me?"

"Those great swords have excellent combat qualities. Nazarick is in need of such members who have independent consciousness and obey orders. You will recruit them, and the others will assist you."

Tao Yu didn't care about CC's thoughts, he just calmly stated the arrangements and sent them to do it.

“It’s a sad feeling.”

Makabala agreed without any hesitation and did not even give CC a chance to reply.

Although in Makabala's eyes, the demons and greatswords of that level described are of no importance because they are too weak.

It's not worth it for the boss to arrange it.

But since the boss has spoken, this matter is of great importance and it is my mission!
"A silver-eyed slayer who kills demons? It's worth a look. This might be just what Asuna and I can handle."

Kirito clenched his fists and clenched his hands, with a look of excitement on his face. At least he could be of some use.

Following the team all the way, he actually found that if he and Asuna relied on themselves, it would be almost a pipe dream to find the fragments of his hometown.

Even though the two of them were not weak in strength, it was still extremely difficult for them to cross the fragments.

Only by following this seemingly cruel leader of the Burning Legion who often saves people can you have a chance to return home.

Moreover, he didn't seem to care whether the two of them stayed or went. When he found the Japanese style here, he arranged for them to come over directly.

Although Kirito is a little immature sometimes, he is generally clear-headed.

Just as he finished speaking, Makabala said to Kirito with a strange smile on his face:

"Kirito-kun, I understand some of your thoughts, but I still want to advise you that sometimes you should give up what you should give up. This will be good for everyone."

"give up?"

Kirito was stunned for a moment, then said firmly

"I will never give up on finding my way home."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Makabala glanced at the somewhat bewildered Asuna, and a smile appeared on his face.

CC, who had just finished eating pizza, seemed to have noticed something. A little golden light flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand in disdain.

"You really have a bad taste."

Although she said that, there was also a look of amusement and curiosity in her eyes.

"Let's go. Neon has launched a large-scale development policy, encouraging people to go to the neighboring world to open up new land. It will be easy to find the way..."

……

In a remote town in an unknown continent, four women in cloaks and holding swords on the street surrounded another person with the same attire and stood among them.

"Theresa, you have not been in contact with the organization. Have you betrayed the organization?"

Irena, who was once ranked No. 2 and is now No. 3, looked at the current No. greatsword with a serious face.

Failure to contact the organization will be regarded as betrayal of the organization, and will result in condemnation and liquidation by the organization!

"If that's the case, then you should just take it as it is."

Theresa acted very calmly, but there was a hint of melancholy in her words. Her long wavy golden hair and soft cheeks made her look very approachable at first glance, as if she was a gentle older sister.

But he looks very gentle.

But now the four great swordsmen ranked second to fifth were suppressed by her in terms of momentum.

The four of them drew their swords and stood ready for battle, but Therese still had her greatsword hanging on her back.

"Watch your attitude!"

Precia, the newcomer who had just been promoted to No. 2, spoke with a somewhat irritable expression, and her eyes had turned golden.

Even the expression on his face looked a little ferocious.

Except for the first generation of greatswords, the subsequent greatswords were all transformed from women with the flesh and blood of demons into half-demon warriors.

Releasing 10% of the demonic power will change the color of the pupils, 30% will cause changes to the face, 50% will cause body deformation, and exceeding 80% will cause an irreversible awakening, turning into an awakened being more terrifying than ordinary demons.

Theresa looked at Precia, whose expression changed and whose whole body was emitting powerful magical power, but her expression remained calm.
"Things are different now. You should be able to feel it. Since the earthquake, our demonic power has become stronger and more difficult to control. Now we should release as little as possible..."

"I don't want you to preach!"

Precia approached Theresa with terrifying speed and slashed at her in an instant.

Because of her actions, several other teammates had to follow suit and launch attacks at the same time.

When facing this former No. 1, it is never too cautious!

However, they soon found that all this was in vain. Under Theresa's terrifying strength, she only maintained 10% of her demonic power throughout the whole process and was able to suppress the four of them.

It was easy to defeat all four of them!
Puff~Puff~
Bloodstains deep enough to see the bones appeared, and the four great swordsmen all fell in a pool of blood. Their half-demon bodies gave them strong vitality, and although their injuries were terrible, they were not fatal.

After doing all this, Theresa put away her sword, turned around, took a little girl out from the alley next to her, and walked away on her own.

The humiliation and anger brought by this severe blow and disregard made the expression on Precia's face even more hideous.

Even though he was seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood, he still forced himself to get up.
"Want to escape? That's impossible!"

More and more powerful demonic power emerged from her, and her entire body began to show obvious changes. It was obvious that the liberation of demonic power had exceeded 50%!

This change made Ilia, the current No.3 who was replaced by him and had more seniority than her, look pale.

"You have no experience like this yet, control yourself! Otherwise you will lose control!"

"Shut up! I'm the captain!"

Precia roared, her speed suddenly increased, and she was in front of Theresa in the blink of an eye.

when~
Theresa drew her sword to block the attack and now she is a little more serious.

"If you awaken, I will not hold back..."

"Then just give it a try!"

With her face becoming more and more ferocious, the roaring Precia continued to increase her demonic power output, and her speed became faster and faster.

Even his fingers and arms can be extended and ejected, as if they were rubber and impossible to defend against.

But no matter how fancy her attacks were or how fast they were, Theresa could easily block them. After becoming familiar with her moves, she cut off one of her arms with just one strike.

The subsequent continuous slashing caused streaks of blood to burst out on the key points of Priscilla, and finally Priscilla could not hold the sword in her hand anymore, and fell to the ground with a clang.

She was beaten to her knees on the ground. Looking at her hideous face after turning into a demon in the puddle, Precia was stunned.

I have become the monster I hate the most...

"Kill me, and let me die as a human being for the last time."

Precia said somewhat collapsed.

This made Theresa, who had personally executed many awakened people, sigh.
"In that case, I will satisfy you."

Holding the sword, Theresa came to Precia and looked at Precia, who was kneeling on the ground with a broken arm. She said

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Precia said nothing, but lowered her head, revealing her demonic neck.

However, her remaining injured arm was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her palm had already touched the hilt of the fallen sword.

There was a hint of compassion in Theresa's eyes at this moment. Just as she was about to swing her sword, Precia's arm flashed away in an instant like a swinging spring.

puff~
The wrist holding the sword broke instantly and was knocked away.

The sudden blow made the former No.1 unable to react. This attack was completely beyond her expectations!

"What? It turns out that there is no need to be patient. The feeling of awakening is so wonderful..."

After successfully hitting the target, Precia showed a hint of joy on her face.

No longer resisting demonization, after fully awakening, it is so wonderful!

"Then you should get going..."

The broken arm grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the right arm holding the sword slashed towards Therese, who had lost both arms and weapons, like a spring.

However, just as Precia was about to finish off the opponent with one more blow to complete the decapitation, a green evil energy descended from the sky.

Precia's greatsword was grasped by a pair of sharp nails.

A four-meter-high dark shadow loomed ahead.

Makabala revealed his true form as the Lord of Dread and appeared here.

"It is ironic to feel pity in the heart of the abyss."

Makabala glanced at Therese with a broken hand and grinned with a sarcastic and amused expression.

As a dreadlord, he really liked this kind of scene.

Compassion, betrayal, fighting, how wonderful!

It is one of the few pleasures I have now.

However, compared to my own bad taste, the boss's orders are more important than anything else.

Since the boss said that he wants to recruit these greatswords, then as the No. 1, I can't die so miserably.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't mind watching from the sidelines, seeing them kill each other until the last man standing.

"Who are you!"

Precia didn't expect that her full-strength attack would be caught by two nails.

But before he could finish his words, Makabala flicked them away.

bang~
The air exploded in a wave of twisted ripples.

Precia was instantly knocked hundreds of meters away!

It hit the mountain behind heavily like a cannonball.

Boom~
The mountain collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

The deep pit created by the collision was filled with blood and blood splattered everywhere, as if it had been deflated in an instant.

However, the powerful recovery ability and vitality of the awakened one actually forcibly restrained her scattered flesh and blood, and slowly pieced it together again.

This made Makabala raise his eyebrows slightly.

"It has good vitality. I think Mayuri Kurotsuchi will like it very much. Bring him some gifts and ask him to trim his claws for me next time."

The sharp claws scraped against each other, making a sharp sound accompanied by a burst of sparks.

The hideous image of the dreadlord Makabala is indeed more terrifying than demons and awakened ones.

Several greatswordsmen nearby, who had not yet reacted to the sudden change, raised their weapons and pointed them at Makabala.

Theresa also calmly retreated quickly and came to her broken arm in an instant, and said to the little girl who was running over eagerly with her.

"Kreya, help me connect the broken arm to the wound. I can heal myself."

Even though Theresa was ambushed by Priscilla, she did not lose her composure. But now, looking at Makabala's real body, she could sense the disgusting and terrifying evil energy from him through her keen demonic perception.

The power that was more evil than demonic power made all the great swords temporarily ignore Precia who was crippled and put all their energy on Makabala.

The image of the Dreadlord, who is over four meters tall and has wings on his back, is indeed quite suitable for the current world...
