Ataraxia Abyss
Chapter 29: Bloody night

When the moon was shining on the earth, Orcs fought to dye the forest with their blood. Both sides experienced their respective losses, Regal and Kurdan did provide resistance, but it only balanced the flow of the war, with the two of them, and they both did,the weaker northern Orcs in open combat could finally be balanced with stronger and more numerous opponents.

Regal saw his allies flying with their bodies split in two. He then saw a 3-meter tall Orc with a black body like it was coated in scales. Regal took the spear from the fallen northern Orc, he then threw the spear through the Orc's chest. Regal then lunged with the Abyss Step and cut off his left leg, making the Orc fall forward with two hands and a spear in his chest that supported him so that his body would not fall to the ground.

The Orc forcefully removed the spear in his chest, but Regal quickly jumped up from behind and stabbed the Orc's chest to the ground. Regal then sees more Orcs than his dead army, but Regal and Kurdan manage to erode the number of enemies to equal the number of their soldiers.

Until something unexpected happens. From the depths of the forest beside them appeared many southern Orcs attacking their left flank. 200 Southern orcs appeared and changed the tide of the fight. Regal tried to maintain his position, until he finally realized that they had lost quite a lot of troops.

He gathers with Kurdan while killing his opponents. "They have defeated Sarfu and his army!" Regal shouted while warning Kurdan. Kurtan who heard that directly asked Regal. "We'll back off first or what?" After Regal saw his remaining troops the remaining half finally Regal decided.

"We can still survive! If Sarfu had just lost then the second stage was almost finished!" The two of them continued to fight until they heard the extremely loud sounds of screams and explosions coming from their troops. When Regal tried to look at it, he saw an Orc with a body that seemed to have fused with a bear. His body was large with the same claws and fangs as a bear, and with those fangs he held one of the northern Orcs on the ground and separated his head with his other hand.

Seeing this, Regal immediately lunged but Gram's slash was held back by the Orc with just his arm. The Orc then caught Regal's hand and slammed it to the ground causing a shockwave that blew away opponents and friends. Fortunately Regal was in Foul Legacy mode, otherwise his bones would crack, but he turned off the Foul Legacy because Vis was left a little.

Regal then put up his horses, he did Smoldering Fangs whose three attacks hit and penetrated the defense of the opponent. When Regal saw the surroundings, there were already at least 300 southern Orcs fighting against them. Seeing that Regal finally focused his sword with soul energy and Mana.

At that time Regal almost exploded, but with a strong Abyss Step, Regal managed to hit the Orc troops. Space and time split but slowly everything returned to normal, until finally the former slash closed and destroyed the more than 100 southern Orcs there. Although it had reduced the number of enemies it looked like they had flooded the forest. Regal who could not do Foul Legacy finally got recoil from his own attack, making the muscles in his arms and legs feel like broken like a rope cut using a blunt knife. Over hundreds of orcs emerged from the forest to their left.

Regal who saw that immediately smiled, because the one who came at this time was the northern Orc Commander and his troops, they all came at the same time. The 3 Commanders with 300 men left as a result of that battle, all the remaining Orcs gathered together and formed a formation,both sides hit each other and killed each other until they finally realized something.

"Son Regal! There's something strange about this war..." Regal answered while cutting off his opponents. "Well! I only see Orcs and Orc Commanders here. I don't see any sign of Chief from the south!" With all that fact, they finally came to their senses and shouted the same word.

"His tomb!!"

———

There Regal could see a door, a door written in the long-lost Enochian language. "This is an Enochian language. This seal isn't too broken." Regal who was cast a spell to open the door suddenly felt a powerful killing aura. When he looked back there was already a throwing axe flying towards him, but Kurdan parried it with his greatsword.

They then saw a large-bodied Orc coming down the stairs. He looks as big as 2.5 meters tall Kurdan. Their auras were both the same, and with those traits Regal finally knew who the creature was. "Agronak..."

Hearing his name called by Kurdan, the Orc finally laughed. "During time I didn't see Kurdan!" Kurdan put up his fighting horses after seeing Agronak. The agronak who saw that instantly picked up the large battle axe that was on his back and prepared to fight as well.

"Go and open our ancestors' coffins, I'll take care of the matter here..." Regal nodded and immediately ran inside. Agronak laughed to Kurdan when he saw him talking to Regal. "You entrust humans? That fragile human to take away the secrets of this tomb?! Oh, my God, you're getting old..." The two of them then charged at each other. The force of both of their weapons colliding together managed to make the entire tomb tremble and make it almost collapse.

Meanwhile Regal was currently facing off against another large door. He saw that the seal had weakened and Regal broke it, leaving the last door open. Regal is currently in an oval room with a tomb in the middle, of course this evokes unpleasant memories Regal, considering the events in the Abyss, Regal did not want to mess around in opening the coffin of a legend.

Regal finally decided to wear an item he never had time to use. Phantom Blade emerged from the top of the coffin and showered it, causing the coffin to explode and eventually the coffin to open. Regal slowly approached her, but when he saw her he could find nothing but a magic book.

But when he almost took the magic book, Regal could feel an extremely powerful aura from behind him. As he turned around, he could see Agronak appearing behind him. Regal looked at his hand, so the least amount of soul energy left in his body made Regal unable to clench his hands hard, now this would be very dangerous if he used Vis or Abyss Veil.

Regal is aware of it, he also removed the Vis in his body and replaced it with Aura and Mana Burst. Although he had been studying Vis all this time, he could still use the high-level magic of a Warrior because of the Mana of Incubus that was boiling inside him. But that did not guarantee Regal's victory, seeing Agronak who was superior in physical and Aura was clearly a big problem, let alone him until he could defeat Kurdan in a one-on-one fight.

"Human, be a good herd and give me the book!" Agronak pointed to the book. Regal kept it in dimensional storage and replied.

"Mercenary is the one who keeps his contract, even when we don't swear allegiance and only move because of money...

We will run our contracts even when our lives are at stake!!" With Gram in his hands, Regal was finally ready to fight to the death...
