The holy white radiance lingered along the path of the artillery fire for a long time without fading.
However, compared to the abyssal power brought by the evil guest, the scene before them made them feel relaxed, and they even vaguely felt that the injuries caused by the backlash of magic were gradually easing.
"After all, the Holy attribute inherently contains a slight healing property, although it is almost like poison when it comes to the power of the Abyss."
I slumped to the ground, exhausted. After listening to the sound of Lena disengaging from the artillery assembly once it was confirmed that there was no more danger, I looked up at the seemingly ravaged miniature garden and couldn't help but sigh.
This is my future capital for slacking off! But now it's been mostly ruined by an accident!
Life is truly unpredictable.
"But on the bright side, Master of the Little Garden, you've avoided a certain death crisis."
Yao's voice came from a slightly lower direction. Turning his head, he saw that it was indeed a certain lazy lady who had rolled her head around on the ground again.
Okay, I'm used to it.
Whatever, I need to rest now.
"Master of the Small Garden, you can't rest yet~"
Yao's urging voice rang out again.
Without the help of the doll maid to walk, the head barely stopped rolling at the edge of the slightly sunken slope, then wobbled back to its side, closing its eyes to remind, "There's still a lot of finishing work waiting for you to do."
Yes, there's still a lot of finishing work to be done, such as dealing with the parts that have been tainted by the abyss's aura, and the subsequent repairs to the miniature garden... Also, it seems I still need to make a trip to the academy to see that enormous monster that suddenly sprang from the ground in the rewind timeline.
With Gulu guarding the perimeter of the academy, the academy itself having a defensive barrier, plus the natural monster reactors that Aleel keeps, Professor Adrian's courses don't involve monster studies, and the hunting dogs that the instructors let roam freely occasionally take a stroll nearby... well, you can't count on these lazy dogs.
In short, no matter how you look at it, there's no reasonable explanation for why monsters would suddenly appear beneath Adrian's workshop.
Add to that the map marked with theft information found in the hidden space inside the workshop, and the numerous fake Adrians whose origins are unknown, and all the troublesome things that follow.
However, I still have one question.
"How did that guy find this place? And even manage to find it?"
I was puzzled by this and could only throw the question back to the two people who had participated in the initial step.
Lena, who was packing up her equipment, and Yao, who was carefully wiping his head after picking it up again, exchanged a glance. Lena was about to speak when Alice suddenly interrupted them: "Hey hey! Okay, Master! Look here~ Let Master's smartest butler, Alice, explain this!"
The rascal who had just disappeared suddenly popped out, coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "This matter has to start with the basic situation of the Abyss."
"As is well known, the word 'abyss' refers to a region that is even deeper and darker than the void. Ancient legends often regard it as the final tomb where all things perish and survive, the ultimate hell of deep darkness, or Tartarus, which is said to be ruled by the king of the underworld. In short, it is not a good thing."
"If we consider the void as nothingness, and the real world as a giant bubble filled with gas and magic, then the abyss is a realm filled with disorder and chaos. The void, which assimilates everything scattered within it into nothingness, is not even a fraction as powerful as the abyss in assimil to itself. One could even say that the emptiness of the void is like a protective barrier that shields the world of its master from being assimilated and swallowed by the abyss..."
"Get to the point."
I grabbed the rabbit's ears, which were starting to pull away, and swung them back and forth until it protested repeatedly and showed that it really knew it was wrong, before I put it back on the ground.
With a wronged expression, Alice combed the hairs on her ears and continued her narration obediently: "According to the existing information, the power of the Abyss is not something ordinary people can control, because it has a strong corrosive nature. The moment it appears in the real world, it will pollute a large area of land, turning it into a netherworld that can breed creatures of the Abyss. If we were to draw an analogy, its manifestation would probably be even more exaggerated than the Gray Zone, right?"
"However, assuming that someone truly possesses the potential to wield the power of the abyss, then for him, it would be quite possible to control time and space, or to pursue marked prey in the void and abyss. Hmm, just like that guy who suddenly appeared just now."
I see.
Although I didn't understand it very well, I still got the general idea.
"So, it seems I do know a friend in the abyss..."
My murmurs drew startled stares from the people around me.
Before I could explain, I heard two crisp knocks coming from outside the walls of the small garden, followed by a crisp sound like a page being easily torn.
"Oops! Sorry, sorry, I didn't control my strength properly..."
Suddenly, a fist-sized hole appeared in the space in front of them. A hand wrapped in black gauze, trailing wisps of black smoke, pierced through the outer wall of the miniature garden. It even maintained its striking posture. After noticing the scorch marks spreading around it, it suddenly withdrew as if startled and left an apology first.
The familiar tone made me want to sigh.
It's true what they say, whoever you mention will come to life.
After a short wait, a rustling sound came from behind the hole. Different layers of black moved, and finally a scarlet eye came into view, peering inside.
