He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 50 50. The Secret of the Abyss

War is not worth celebrating, nor is it worth being happy about.

But after the victory of the war, it is indeed worth celebrating.

However, after a brief celebration, there was a deeper sadness.

This was a war with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, even with Haniya arriving in time for help.

Ian and the others also responded quickly...

From receiving the call for help to rushing over on horseback after finishing preparations.

Strictly speaking, it took less than three hours.

Moreover, most of the time is spent on traveling.

But in the end, the strength of the Winged Clan was far inferior to that of the Demon Clan. In just nearly three hours, the Winged Clan suffered heavy losses.

More than 400 elite warriors of the Winged Clan were killed or wounded, and now there are only more than 500 left.

In addition, the Winged Clan suffered the most casualties among its elders. In order to cover the escape of their children who could not yet fly, more than 400 of them died in battle and more than 200 were missing.

The bodies of those who died in the battle could not be pieced together, and many of them still had traces of being gnawed by monsters.

As for the missing ones...

Most of them went into the monster's stomach and disappeared with the huge explosion.

This is without counting the injured.

Due to the power of the arrow of regeneration, a seriously injured and dying person can be alive again after being hit by one arrow.

Many serious injuries and deaths were avoided.

But even so, thousands of people from the Winged Clan died in the battle, and now there are only a little over 3,000 people left in the entire clan.

This is a huge blow to the already small number of Winged Clan. It will probably take them years to catch their breath.

As for Ian, things weren't going well either.

The resources I saved for more than half a month have basically been used up.

Especially the materials for making TNT, I'm afraid I can't even produce ten TNTs right now.

It would take at least ten days to accumulate this amount of resources again without deliberately grinding them.

It sounds like a small amount, but in the MC world, how much can be done in ten days!
……

But at least, there was no loss of manpower, and Lacia and the others also gained combat experience and earned merits in fighting against the demons.

Overall, Ian and his team's loss is acceptable.

Command Layar and the others to harvest the remaining iron golems and take the iron ingots back.

Although there is no shortage of iron with the iron-farming machine, it cannot be wasted like this. What's more, Ian would not leave the iron golem wandering in the wilderness.

The remaining monster corpses were picked up and packed up.

This is a precious strategic reserve resource.

The flesh and blood can be eaten, but the bones and magic crystals can be processed into magical items by the elves and other major tribes using secret methods, and will be purchased at a high price.

The body of the mind flayer must also be collected and taken back.

The dwarves love the heart of the mind flayer very much. To them, it is a precious forging material that can be exchanged for money.

The rest are resources from the MC world. What can be taken away can be taken away, and what cannot be taken away, leaving behind would be a miracle.

Perhaps after countless years, this place will become a famous tourist attraction.

This was the first time that the Dawn Cult displayed its thunderous might, bringing down miracles to annihilate the demons. It was also the first time that the Dawn Cult won a great victory in the war against the demons.

The cultural and historical significance is full, coupled with the wonders of miracles...

This place deserves to be rated as a 5A-level tourist attraction.

After a long time, the cleaning and tidying up of the battlefield was almost completed.

Uriel was filled with suppressed sadness. He walked slowly towards Ian and knelt down in front of him with a bang.

"Your Holiness, we...we want to borrow some money. Too many of our compatriots died in the war. We don't have the money, nor do we have enough coffins to bury them..."

A strong man over two meters tall spoke with a choked voice, his words revealing an indelible sorrow.

Ian sighed, but as for gold coins, he didn't have any yet. The exploration of the netherworld had not started yet, and the first batch of taxes in Blackwater City had not started yet.

Even if we start, I don’t think we can raise much money.

Seeing this strong man who had been slashed by the demons for more than a dozen times without frowning and now crying like rain, Ian looked around and his eyes lit up.

"This is the site of the Dawn Cult's first great victory against the demons, and also the site of the Winged Clan's great victory. They should be relieved to be allowed to rest here."

"how do you feel?"

Uriel looked at Ian in confusion, and the latter waved.

"Bishop Layal, take people to dig a cemetery and use the resources bestowed by the Dawn to build a coffin for each of them."

"Take the corpses of five hundred mind flayers, dig out their hearts, and make them kneel before their graves for eternity, confessing their sins to the Winged Warriors."

Leal nodded slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Ian turned around and looked at Uriel, whose eyes were red with excitement again.

"What do you think of this?"

Wu Lie'er said nothing, but knelt down again, choking with sobs as he spoke each word:

"Thank you for the mercy of His Holiness the Pope! The Winged Clan will be the dawn of light for generations, and will go through fire and water for His Holiness the Pope! If we disobey, our wings will rot and die!"

Ian helped Uriel up and said softly:
"Since you believe in the Dawn, you are the Dawn's child. There is no need to be like this."

"It just so happens that I have something to ask you. Where is the abyss where these demons appear from?"

Uruel quickly pointed south.

"Over there! I'll take you there!"

"No need. You can go and bury the Winged Tribe warriors with Layal. Haniya will take me."

Ian patted Uriel's shoulder, and the latter nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Pope!"

Then, he solemnly instructed Haniya:
"Haniya, please protect His Holiness the Pope!"

Haniya nodded firmly and promised:

"Yes! Dad!"

"Your Holiness, please follow me."

……abyss.

This is a strange world phenomenon in the continent of Rodri, whose formation reasons and formation rules are still unknown to this day.

It was the direct channel for the demons to reach the Rodri continent in the past.

This is also the reason why even now, after being separated by a natural chasm, the demons can still cross the chasm and attack the territory of the Hundred Races Alliance from time to time.

Just like the demon clan's arsenal for deploying troops remotely, once it appears, there is a high probability of bloodshed.

The Alliance of Hundred Races hates the abyss, but there is really no way to predict the pattern and time of the abyss's appearance.

Countless countries and cities have been destroyed by the emergence of the abyss.

Regarding the abyss, the only research result of the Hundred Races Alliance is that the abyss cannot be prevented, but it can be destroyed.

Even a small abyss can be defeated with one strike from a super powerful knight as long as its weak spatial node is found.

This is also what old Phobos taught Ian.

But old Phobos also said.

If you are strong enough, you don’t need to care about any spatial node. Just cut it with one sword and the abyss will disappear wherever it hits.

At least that's the case with small abysses.

When facing the abyss, the current alliance of hundreds of races basically adopts a decapitation tactic, with the strongest leading the team to kill and destroy the space nodes.

of course……

Such missions usually result in a one-way trip.

This is also Ian's first time to carry out a mission to destroy the abyss, but he is different from others.

He annihilated all the demons in the abyss before leisurely destroying the abyss.

Looking at the entire Rodri continent, this is the first time in the history of the world.

This abyss is not far from the Winged Clan’s territory, about ten minutes away.

Soon, Ian saw an irregular crack that seemed to be embedded in the air.

It spewed out a strange black and purple energy torrent, and strips of black and purple energy bands waved in the air like octopus tentacles.

It looks like it exudes an evil aura.

"Your Holiness, please be careful."

Haniya took a step in front of Ian and whispered:
"What if there are still demons inside..."

"Then keep killing."

Ian smiled and pushed Haniya away, then walked towards the abyss without fear.

Lesia followed and chuckled as she passed Haniya, who looked confused.

"I said, as long as His Holiness is here, the sky won't fall."

Regardless of Haniya, Ian soon stood in front of the abyss.

From the outside, you can't really tell what's going on. I just feel that this kind of atmosphere makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

The closer he got, the more Ian felt that the world was conveying a great sadness to him.

eccentric……

But now is not the time to ponder the abyss. I am not afraid of it, but if something really happens, it will still be quite troublesome.

The Dawn Cult is not yet ready to face the massive demon horde.

More than 10,000 demon troops may sound like a lot, but if the demons really want to fight, the number of troops will often be counted in the millions or tens of millions.

Ian drew his sword and chopped it until the blade was bent, but he still couldn't defeat so many people.

In the early stages...

Be careful and don't make any mistakes.

To be on the safe side, Ian took out the diamond enchanted sword and weighed it.

With one-fifth of Steve's physique, plus the enchanted diamond sword...

"This blow will be very powerful!"

Ian muttered softly, swung the diamond-enchanted sword, and slashed towards the abyss with great force.

He doesn't need to know where the space node is. It's that simple to break all the laws with one force.

The next moment, when the diamond enchanted sword and the abyss collided.

Although he was clearly cutting into space, Ian felt as if he had cut into a real object.

Before he could react, a huge torrent of energy burst out.

Do not……

Strictly speaking, it's more like a return of energy, but...

Where does the energy of the abyss return to?
Under the torrent of energy that rolled up into a storm, Lacia and the others were pushed back and staggered a few steps, unable to help but raise their hands to shield their eyes.

But in the storm, the golden and white papal robes fluttered, but Ian remained motionless as a mountain.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the abyss that was shrinking and fading under the impact of energy.

When only the size of a small mirror was left, Ian suddenly saw something strange.

Behind the abyss, a figure with wings on its back, arms folded, was floating under a blood moon.

As the wings flapped, the enormous wind pressure blew a big hole in the plain where the dead bones were piled below.

I can't see his face clearly, I just know...

Those wings are as black as ink!
It seemed as if he looked at Ian across time and space, and in an instant, he disappeared along with the abyss.

Only a polygonal crystal of unknown origin was left in its place.

Ian stood there for a long time until Lecia picked up the crystal and handed it to him.

Only then did Ian call on Haniya and the others to go back.

When they were almost out of sight of the abyss, Ian suddenly turned around, his eyes deep and sharp.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a frivolous arc.

"interesting……"

Now, he is 50% sure.

The appearance of the abyss follows a certain pattern.

However, this rule may be the result that the Hundred Races Alliance least wants to see.
