To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 188: Battle for the Heart 3

"Two Diamond Hunter fighting as one against a being equal one Emperor. Do you think we could defeat her?"

"I can't, but you. I only here to give you time and chance."

Unheil let go of Skadi. Uniting the two Diamond Hunters to fight his leader.

Silver Sky Staff and Black Sky Spine Bearer versus Virtue of Charity. 

It was actually like an insult to Echidna. Because even though it was far from her position, two figures who were at the same status as her were fighting, created thundering sound into the sky.

Meanwhile, she is fighting a bunch of kids and two Diamond Hunter.

"Don't think you can run away from this, Unheil. After I am done with them, you will be next."

"Yeah-yeah! But I sure will run to Floor 3 in a flash if that time comes."

Arlene climbed back into the Black Sky Spine turret. Do something to the gun, then come down again.

"Is that ugly man going to attack us from behind?"

Arlene afraid that Unheil's act is just a fraudulent acting. 

The man pretended to let go of Skadi and fought his superior to take the opportunity to attack them from behind.

"I ensure, he wouldn't do that and right now he completely against his superior's orders."

Skadi's words are full of trust in Unheil somehow. 

Arlene still not trusting Unheil's act, but she trusts Skadi's words. 

"Just because he is betraying me. Don't think you are a problem to me."

Echidna suddenly doing something with her Arts. Large volume of mana flowing around her, then all of that is channeled into Jared's Head and Jared's Body.

Due to releasing dark mana ball as strong as just now, Jared's Head suffered damage to its mouth. But Echidna's mana channel made it regenerate rapidly.

The same goes to Jared's Body. The large hole caused by Black Sky Spine's ultimate was regenerated, and Jared's Body could stand up strong as before. 

"It was truly a terrible, but tremendous Art."

Xian Ling finally awakened. But she immediately witnessed some terrifying Arts performed by Echidna. 

"Skadi, this carriage is defenceless. Do you think you can protect it and attacking at the same time?"

If not, Arlene would be in charge to protect it because she did not want her junior to force themselves to continue fighting. 

"I won't. But this staff will."

Skadi released Silver Sky Staff to the air. The staff floating by itself, then stopped at the center of the carriage. After that, it activated its unique barrier. A strong and more independent barrier than Ars' sword barrier. 

"Wow, I don't think of that way!"

Skadi let Silver Sky Staff to protect the carriage. That made her defence lowered, but it doesn't matter since she no longer has to fight Unheil.

Skadi also could focus on her sword. She now wielding her long, quite heavy sword with two hands. 

"Bradley boy. Can I borrow you bow?"

Arlene for one reason won't use Black Sky Spine turret. 

"Of course."

"Thank you. Is it okay if I destroy it?"

"Destroy it?"

Blue Lightning Bow is Bradley's mainstay and beloved weapon. But Arlene said she wants to borrow it and might destroy it. 

"Well, if that could win you over this fight, Missy."

"Alright!"

Arlene's done preparation at the right time as Echidna ordered her monsters to charge. 

Jared's Body charging forward like a dreadful bull. 

Skadi charging too, fearlessly of her large opponent. 

Behind Echidna's position, Jared's Head firing dark mana ball. The dark mana balls go through Jared's Body and Skadi. Striking Silver Sky Staff barrier without giving any damage. 

Inside Silver Sky Staff barrier, Arlene was ready with her shoot. However, she is in a weird shooting position. 

Arlene bowed with the bow is above her back. Her right hand holding the bow while her left hand holding two arrow. In that position, she pulled hard the string until it made a curved sound that made Bradley hold his breath hard. 

Arlene's eyes are in far direction. When Skadi and Jared's Body met, she unleashed her shot. A really strong and in the speed of light, the two lighting arrow passed through everything and shot Jared Walking Nuke body until it break down into small pieces. 

Jared Walking Nuke supposed to explode when it got just one little hit. However, Arlene attacked it without causing it to explode. 

The five young Hunter got startled by the scene. Especially the Archer of the party. 

"That was, hella strong."

It was the strongest manual shot Bradley had witnessed. Performed by former strongest archer.

Arlene checking her bow's durability. That attack she did just now might break the bow. Fortunately, Bradley's bow could stand a few Arlene's shot.

Boom. 

Jared's Head still firing dark mana ball. But still, his attack now did not give any damage to Silver Sky Staff power. That when he realizes, the power of the weapon comes from the bearer. So he changing his target. 

Skadi still focused on dealing with Jared's Body. The monster is not that hard than Unheil. But sure is really tough. 

Skadi always trying to face directly on the monster's hand. She continued to dodge each attack, then slashed through the monster's stomach at every opportunity. 

Unfortunately, her attack did not cut that deep, so the slices always get regenerated. Maybe her fight will not come to an end if the monster controller did not die. 

"Skadi!"

Arlene suddenly called her. Arlene also shot Jared's Body until the monster got pushed away from Skadi. 

That's where in an instant, she realizes there is one dark mana ball striking at her. 

In a speed of wind, Skadi draw her sword back, then made a quick slash that stopped all the dark mana balls and explode it. The explosion created a large dust chamber. Covering Skadi and Jared's Body, as well as the Abyssal Hunter.

"I never fought a Diamond until now. It turns out that the two of you can make me have to try like this."

Echidna's opponents were the first generation Abyssal Hunters. Even if she encountered a lower opponent, she would be able to defeat all of them as an Emperor ranked Hunter.

"But, as expected of a disciple of the Saints."

In the Black Sky Spine turret, Arlene was ready to fire Black Sky Spine strongest attack. 

"With this, I will defeat you!"

Black Sky Spine muzzle directed right to Echidna's position. It is charging its shot, and ready to be fired. 

Facing that frail attack, Echidna created just three layer of barrier Arts to hold the attack, underestimating. 

"You will not. I still have stronger monster than that trash. But I will save that after it."

Arlene listening carefully to Echidna's words. It would be a very serious situation if Echidna really took out her monster again. They really would be done that time.

"But that won't happen. Right, Black Sky Spine Mod Dragon Breath?!"

Arlene was about fired her shot. That was where Echidna realizes that the Black Sky Spine is different from before. The turret got plugged one sword contains a tremendous amount of mana.

"[Black Sky Spine Ultimate: King Dragon Breath]!"

A dreadfully tremendous mana being shot at Echidna. That startled her to the point of her could not respond. 

"Wait-"

Echidna fell to the ground, burnt to unconscious. The strong and almighty Virtue got defeated by her own vanity.

"Alright, guess it's my turn now."

Unheil stand up. He looked at Skadi, who was ready to receive his arrival.

From the Abyssal Hunter side, only Skadi left to face him. The Platinum youngster is useless against him. Ophelia had destroyed her weapon in order to defeat Echidna. 

"I want to continue this fight and all, but, I curious about the contents of that carriage."

That way, Unheil charging forward, but not to face Skadi. He took Silver Sky Staff instead. Dismantle the last defence of the Abyssal Hunter. 

"Now you are being open."

After that, Unheil charge his skill to attack the carriage. 

"SKADI!"

Arlene calls out for Skadi. But it was too late for Skadi to get in front. 

The leader of the youngster who stands forward with his shield instead. 

"[Dark Cruel Lightning]"

Unheil release his casual skill. Destroying his enemy carriage and damaging them. 

However, there is a young man stood with his broken shield. Protecting his party with his life. 

"LIAN!"

Sara can't bear to see Unheil's condition.

Unheil attack just now was an Arts attack that was very powerful to be blocked with just physical strength. 

Almost all of Lian's body injured badly. But because of his sacrifice, he managed to protect his party members.

"You are strong, young man. As my respect, I won't kill you."

Unheil walking forward, passing the injured young man to the carriage. 

"Is that a, coffin?"

Unheil quite surprised when he found that the content of the carriage is a coffin. 

"Begone!"

Skadi has come once again to face him. 

But the female warrior that time no longer has her solid shield. So Unheil could defeat her easily. 

"Skadi!"

All that left is one trying-to-be-brave guardian. One might-will-not-give-proper-cast-on-her-Arts Caster. A useless-in-battle Priest. Then weaponless Specialist Archer. 

"Isn't this a pity? You have defeated the woman of a thousand monsters, but you have nothing left to face me."

Arlene smirked at Unheil's confidence. "Well, actually, I still have one strongest weapon to face you."

"Then take it out! After I kill all of you, I will have my "

Unheil's speech got disturbed by one red sword that suddenly fell stuck in front of him.

"!?"

Then without him knowing, he already got stabbed in his chest, right in his bulged Devil Seed.

Unheil fix his gaze, then found a red dragon stood in front of him. 

"You came at the right time."

Ars defeated Unheil with just one insta stab.

He took Silver Sky Staff from Unheil's hand. Walked to Arlene, he asked:

"Where is that spine?"

Arlene without asking gives Ars the Black Sky Spine. A black rod one meter long.

"That thing is like a battery. It won't be useful without you putting it to a device."

Ars stabbed Black Sky Spine to his left chest at Arlene's manual. 

That of course shocked Arlene, the Black Sky Spine bearer. But Ars managed to hold the battery power. 

"That thing channelling a large amount of mana directly to your body. That would endanger you."

"Your order is to kill me. So why worrying about my condition? Despite, my heart in yours contain even bigger amount of mana. So this is actually just like a PSU to me."

The battle between Greedy Young Master versus Wrath Samurai is still continuing. They will not stop until one of them got defeated and one of them winning the battle. 

"Now, I will make sure to beat you for real this time."
