Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 377 - 378: Bold Guess 1/2 [6/8]

Hello, Well sorry for the delay, something occurred and I couldn’t edit the remaining 3 chapters yesterday, but no worries, I will finish it today with 2 daily chapters after this so that makes it 5 chapters today,

-------------------------

Kain, who had suddenly stormed into Winter Forest, was met with hysteria from the forest’s Abyssal Demons who felt his immense Holy power. Not only did the demons roar in anger, but even a certain creature hiding in the central lake area showed a surprised and angry face. The demon horde immediately poured their most powerful attack on the Heavenly Apostle.

The demons opened their mouths wide, with countless shadow forces rapidly gathering.

*Boom! Boom!*

Thunderous explosions echoed throughout,

In a blink, the eastern forest was once again aflame with chaos. Numerous pillars of fire ascended into the sky, filling the forest with the scent of destruction and death.

Faced with the stormy attack composed of annihilation beams, Kain didn’t show any signs of panic.

With his lightning and light attributes complemented by his Holy energy, his fame was rooted in his agility and speed.

After activating his Divian War Form, his abilities in this aspect had improved dramatically. Although the attacks of the Demons were strong, they were unable to touch him due to his high speed. To hit him now would require a dense network of firepower.

However,

The current situation in the eastern part of Winter Forest was as Kain had expected,

The number of demons in this area had significantly decreased after the attacks on SkyDome and the besieging of several large cities in the north, including Wind City. They could not form a dense network of firepower that could stop him! Even if several level 7 Abyssal Demons appeared, they still couldn’t touch him due to his insane agility.

If no Demon King appeared, he would be unstoppable!

With this in mind, Kain, who was spitting blood, revealed an excited smile,

’Just like that! I am nearing the next destination! I need to dig deeper!’

Encouraging himself, Kain’s speed continued to increase. His swift dark purple lightning dashed through the forest, breaking through group after group of Abyssal Demons, evading one powerful strike after another from level 7 Demons, and even directly breaking through the joint attack of five level 7 Abyssal Demons...

Finally,

After several ground-shaking surges, Kain crashed into an invisible barrier.

After this collision,

A massive crack appeared on the barrier, and Kain’s speed undoubtedly decreased, his insane acceleration stopped abruptly. The backlash from the barrier even caused his head to bleed.

However, on the handsome face of the Heavenly Apostle, an ecstatic expression blossomed like never before.

If the hundreds of years of research conducted by the Church held true,

Inside the Winter Forest,

There is only one place that has a barrier!

That is the outskirts of Demon Temple!

And now?

He crashed into a barrier?!

This means that their previous judgment was correct.

"I’ve finally found it, the location of Demon Temple!"

Banishing Abyssal Demons and restoring peace to Ancita Continent is the dream harbored by innumerable residents.

And as the saying goes, to remove weeds you must uproot them.

If we hope to wipe out the vile beings known as Abyssal Demons, we need to destroy the root of their existence - the Demon Temple,

Otherwise, even if all the Abyssal Demons in the outer world are killed, new creatures will become monsters under the influence of the Shadow power of Demon Temple.

The power of human forces is far from enough to destroy the entire Winter Forest. The power must be concentrated, turned into a spear as sharp as can be, and pierced into a critical point of Winter Forest to destroy Demon Temple!

To make this plan feasible, understanding the exact location of Demon Temple is crucial.

For this, the Church as well as numerous other forces on the continent, have attempted to send people into Winter Forest, trying to investigate the location of the Temple.

Unfortunately,

Over the centuries, their explorations have yielded little to no results.

Having gambled many lives, they couldn’t even find a trace of the Temple.

Only in recent decades has the situation changed.

Under the guidance of Kael, countless Apostles have entered Winter Forest over the years, trying their best to find the location of Demon Temple for a chance to become a Heavenly Apostle.

The vast majority of them,

Unsurprisingly, died under the claws of Abyssal Demons.

However, unlike before, the sacrifice of the Apostles this time has meaning. The Pope had planted markers in all of them, and these markers in the depth of their souls would feedback certain information to the church through the soul gem after they died.

Through analysis and calculation, the church could determine where they died in the Winter Forest.

Ordinary Abyssal Demons certainly have the ability to escape the Apostles. The only being that could instantly kill them, leaving them unable to send a distress signal, can be said to be Demon King.

Hence,

Under Kael’s guidance, the Asumos Church internally collected and sorted the information of the Apostles who died mysteriously in Winter Forest over the years. They ultimately found that the vast majority of them died in the eastern region.

The frequency of Apostles encountering Demon King beings in the eastern region far exceeds other areas.

You should know that Demon Kings are quite rare.

In the cognition of the members of the Church, Demon Kings tend to linger in places where the aura of Shadow Power is strong, that is, near the Demon Temple...

" Demon Temple might be in the eastern part of Winter Forest!"

The church internally came to this conclusion.

Afterward,

Through a series of analyses, the clerics extended the lines from the death points of all 19 Apostles and used the Onslow prediction method to calculate eight intersection points.

[Onslow’s prediction method is like a magic crystal ball. It looks at patterns from the past (like how many times you played a game each day) to guess what might happen next.]

According to the Pope, these eight intersection points are likely to be the location of Demon Temple.

Therefore,

Kain’s mission objective became quite clear. It is to take advantage of the ’Divine War Form’, with his superior speed, during the void time in the eastern part of Winter Forest, and investigate these eight doting points.

*Boom!*

Accompanied by a loud explosion and a burst of dark purple lightning,

A surge of earth-shaking energy suddenly erupted in mid-air.
