To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 238: Development of the Situation

Eria / Palace of Moccus

"Buhahaha! To think that he really able to cure an Infection, and it's the abnormal one!"

King of Eria, Troy the Gluttony, was holding a meeting with Ars faction.

Unfortunately, Ars was unable to attend the meeting because he was still unconscious. So the person came to the meeting as a replacement was Arlene, accompanied by Skadi.

Arlene displeased by Troy's cheerful attitude. They were having bad times, but he laughed it off instead.

"I'm sorry! It wasn't like I laughed at your misfortune. It's just, I felt proud that crazy guy had really done something crazy and was succeeded on doing it! He really reminds me of Satria."

Troy mentioned the Sword Saint, Satria, as he was thinking of Ars. 

Arlene and Skadi knew the Sword Saint just like Troy and Frida. But they did not know him as Satria, the person behind Sword Saint. 

"If I may know, what kind of person is this Satria? We know him as Sword Saint, but we don't know anything about him as a person."

It was the third time Arlene heard that Ars looked like Satria.

The first time was her father-in-law, the second was the Spear Saint, and then Troy. The three of them were great people who had been very influential in the past.

To think that the Sword Saint, the great man behind all Conquest Expedition, equated with the arrogant, perverted, and arbitrary Ars... it was hard to believe.

"Well, Ars definitely taller than Satria. But his attitude, his vanity, and his power, Ars really resembled Satria. He was like the Greed side of Satria. He is the Greed, though. But, the way he always thinking out of ordinary, it's great that I can't do what they do."

There was a sense of envy in Troy's words. 

In the past, he fought along with the unordinary warrior, Satria. He envies Satria because Satria is strong. It was difficult for him to follow Satria.

Then now, a person who resemblant Satria appear in front of him, Ars. Ars brought many crazy idea that Troy could not think of. 

At first, Troy is afraid of Ars because Ars could be a threat to the kingdom he has built and maintained for 4 years.

During those four years, they have been through hard times.

There are enemies still hiding behind the sand and cave of Floor 3. 

That was why he was aware of Ars' appearance. 

But apparently, Ars doing some crazy shit he almost died because of it. 

Just by that simple event, Troy had fully trusted Ars as their companion. 

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. It's been almost a month since Ars started the World Wall Abyss Pit station project. The project will be finished soon. So, I want to now what Ars going to do after it."

Troy's last sentence became a question to Arlene. 

He knows Ars still unconscious. So he wants to know if Ars' wives know something about Ars' plan after the station finished. 

"I want to answer that question. But, unfortunately Ars keep everything from anyone else, even to us. He did everything by himself. He would only order other people to work as subordinates, without having anyone to work with."

Arlene regretted her inability to make Ars trusted her, so she could be the person Ars can work with. 

If she thinks about it, Ars has always been a Lonewolf. He does everything by himself, and successful. He only rely to someone else to do ordinary or little things. 

He is the perfect representation of a great man. But on one side, that makes him fragile. 

Just like when he fought Echidna for the first time, if he rely on someone else, he would not end up with his heart got stolen.

If he brought more reinforcement, he won't be so troubled facing of Yamato and Echidna. 

If he spoke first before sacrificing himself to save Elisa, maybe he wouldn't end up in such a bad condition.

"Even though I am Ars' replacement, I didn't dare to make a decision. Do you have any suggestions regarding that?"

"Hmm, well, if Ars doesn't have any special programming with that station, then it's clear that the station will work like a normal station."

To get passengers off and on from Floor 2 to Floor 3.

"Frida, how is the security of World Wall Abyss Pit cave?"

Ever since Ars informed about the construction of the World Wall station, Troy put his best guard down in the World Wall Abyss Pit cave.

Their enemy, Black Hunter group, was still hiding and not making appearance for quite a long time. 

If they knew about the making of World Wall Abyss Pit station, it is certain that they will not remain silent.

"There was still no movement from the Black Hunter group. Maybe they are planning for bigger problem than just cutting our way up."

"That might be true! Remembering that Soul Saint is a crazy fanatic man! He must be planning the destruction of Floor 3 or something!"

Soul Saint. A name that has not appeared in the history of Abyssal Terra for a long time. 

The Villain of Terra and sworn enemy of Staff Saint. 

"Is he really here, the Soul Saint?"

Arlene became worried of the man's name. 

"What, are you afraid of him, Ophelia?"

Arlene had been in the history of the horror of the Soul Saint in the past. Of course she was aware of the man's existence. 

"Of course, I'm afraid. But, the thing that worries me more is, Ars is still unconscious, if he finds out about it and carries out an attack ..."

"Bha-hahahaha!"

Arlene is expressing her concern. But Troy laughed at it instead.

"You worried about that, when Ars is in the center of this kingdom?"

Troy is correct. Ars was sleeping in the kingdom led by one of strongest Abyssal Hunter power, Troy himself.

"Do you know why this kingdom is still exist even though that crazy guy is also here? It's because they don't have the strength to defeat me!"

That was the most logical reason of Eria still exist until know even though the residence did not reach 1000 in number. 

The warrior who could fight didn't even reach 500 in number.

Half of Eria residence were children. In the psychology of war, Eria is very vulnerable to attack. 

But the kingdom still exist and in its peaceful state. 

That meant that as Troy said, the Black Hunter group did not have the strength to defeat the Abyssal Hunter.

"Alright, since that's the only topic we talked about, then I will end this meeting until the comrades from Floor 2 come down here with the station!"

~

A few days after that meeting, the comrades from Floor 2 come down from World Wall Abyss Pit. 

The station has been completed and work well.
