Ataraxia Abyss
Chapter 30: The Grand Ode

On that bloody night, everyone fought to dye the forest with the blood of their opponents. But a fight so terrible that it caused an earthquake today happened in a place where everyone did not see it... Regal and Agronak, the two Warriors fought in different styles but with their respective strengths.

Agronak with his great strength that could destroy the huge pillars in the tomb with a single swing and Regal who could fight while avoiding those attacks with his agility and Mystic eye of Fate. Despite this, Agronak continued to regenerate his wounds while Regal was further injured by the debris flown by Agronak as he destroyed walls and floors.

The two of them fought desperately, Regal could only withstand 2-3 attacks before he finally dodged the large axe of Agronak that floated and devoured everything in front of him. Until finally Regal managed to injure Agronak in the neck, but he was hit in the chest to hit the wall.

Regal vomited blood while looking at the superficial wounds he gave Agronak managed to fully recover, making his head not detached from the body. Seeing this situation Regal finally racked his brain. He mounted the horses slowly to make Agronak laugh, and as Regal advanced on Agronak, his axe floated to kill Regal, but it was a trap that Regal had deliberately provided.

The spirit sword of the Phantom Blade that numbered in the tens had now fallen down from above the head of Agronak. The sword penetrated the skin and made its regeneration quite slow because the sword was still concerned even in a fragile state. Agronak was angry and swung his axe and eradicated what was in front of him because he could not see Regal where with his sword-pierced eyes.

All of the spirit swords were destroyed but the blades were still stuck, and as Agronak swung his axe he did not feel or see Regal in front of him. When he wanted to look back at Regal suddenly pierced Agronak's eyes with his spirit sword, and when Agronak wanted to hit Regal, Regal had jumped first and away. The enraged Agronak wanted to move forward but from behind him flew a spirit sword that quickly pierced the back of Agronak's knee, making the mighty Orc fall on the ground.

"Fucking man!!" The cry of Agronak made the entire tomb tremble, Regal could feel the Aura from the body of the Orc was getting heated up and came out also a voice like a beast that he heard during the war. After doing some research, Regal finally knew why the southern Orcs were stronger, aside from the physique of a miner, they also had a special Aura that could increase their strength not only with Mana but also their sanity. This technique is referred to by the southern Orcs as...

"Berserk!!!"

The grave began to collapse partially, Regal who tried to avoid the falling ceiling was suddenly shocked by Agronak who emerged from the smoke. The swing of the axe of Agronak is really amazingly strong, so that the hand of Regal protected Adamas immediately broke his wrist...

Regal continuously dodged without having any chance of attacking. He could feel the Aura of Agronak getting stronger as time went on. The fight between the two of them actually made the tomb collapse slowly, until Regal finally jumped and stuck his sword on the ceiling to perch. There he thought about what strategy he should use in this kind of situation. Until he finally felt the Mana in his body that was thinning, making Regal sure that he would not last long.

Regal had no choice but to take out his ace...

"Grand Ode!" Within a radius of 200 meters, a bell rang. Agronak who heard the sound made him go crazy until finally the whole area looked like it was glowing. Agronak could not see anything from behind the curtain of light, no matter how hard he tried, but his eyes were burned by his actions.

As his eyes began to regenerate, he could finally see where they were. The silent place was like a cave that was not illuminated by light yet they could still see, it was a replica of the Abyss...

Grand Ode is Regal's ultimate magic. Making it can bring everyone who enters the area to the subconscious Regal. And the place that stuck in Regal's heart was the one that gave him the chance to live both. A magic created out of endless gratitude, the magic that created the Abyss replica.

"It's not perfect... But this is enough for you!" Agronak started crashing Regal, but Regal who could read the frightened Agronak's soul finally dodged easily, even when the swing of the ax was many and irregular but the Orc was still easy to guess. Regal's body almost fainted from bringing Agronak into his subconscious, but it was all worth it.

As Regal counterattacked by cutting off the Orc's right arm, Agronak fell to the ground while enduring the bleeding of his hand. He looked at Regal, the weaker human being now standing taller than him who was falling to the floor.

"Is this what you call a warrior? It's pathetic..." Agronak tried to retreat and climb the arena. But suddenly there was a hand that emerged from the arena floor and pulled Agronak's foot back.

"Those who lose the honorable fight will die... That's what you Orcs always say, right?" The hands that emerged from the arena floor were increasingly numerous, to the point that it could curb an Orc as strong as Agronak to the point of being unable to move.

Those hands were so strong that they could curb those extremely powerful Orcs. Until finally the hands began to squeeze very hard, Agronak's body shattered like a glass, his body did not bleed but the Orc's screams could explain how terrible the pain that even his madness could not hide.

"Help me! Help me!" The Orc begged for his life, but Regal turned and turned his back on Agronak whose body was pulled by the hands that came out of the fire of hell. He walked away from her while saying to Agronak.

"I have brought you here for judgment, and now those hands will lead you to the deepest hell. Enjoy the breath from the bottom of the earth while you can, Chief..."

Slowly Agronak's body was drawn by those hands into the underworld. As Regal walked, everything seemed to return to normal. He is now in a tomb that almost collapsed due to Agronak attacks before the Abyss. He walked towards the coffin and cast an ancient spell before the corpse of the Orc lying in the coffin.

"God of the underworld... Let me speak to those who are dead..."

Regal saw the mouth of the Orc open, and slowly a blue fireball flew from that mouth and began to transform into a picture of the Warrior in the past that had already laid it.

"Blood Mane Orcs - Chris. Can we talk?"
