Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 174 Repelling the Abyss

When Mavica received the news, the Abyss's attack had already been going on for some time. At first, it was just a small-scale, scattered attack in a small area. Since Nata often suffered attacks of this scale, everyone subconsciously thought it was a routine invasion by the Abyss.

After cleaning up the scene, they didn't report it to Mavica, but quietly increased the intensity of patrols. However, today was completely different. Although it started as a small-scale invasion, the strength of the monsters generated by the Abyss Gate increased dramatically in just a few minutes. Moreover, large-scale Abyss Gates appeared all over Nata.

By the time people realized it, the Abyss had already formed a sufficiently large invading force, and by the time Mavika received the news, the Abyss had already launched a full-scale attack.

Even the Thousand Rock Army, which was responsible for escorting the last batch of supplies because of the suddenness of the incident, was attacked by the abyss. Upon hearing this news, King Ruotu and Zhongli immediately set off for the Thousand Rock Army.

Fortunately, a vanguard of the Fools was patrolling nearby where the Thousand Rocks army was attacked. Upon seeing the attack, the Fools vanguard rushed to the aid regardless of who was being attacked. By the time Zhongli and Ruoduo Dragon King arrived, the Thousand Rocks army and the Fools vanguard had just wiped out the entire Abyss army.

Seeing that Qianyan Army was safe and sound, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the Abyss had launched a full-scale attack, the road ahead was no longer safe. In order to ensure the safety of supplies and personnel, Zhongli decided to escort this group of warriors to the Sacred Flame Arena.

This day was incredibly eventful for Li Wenshu. He initially thought it was just a simple mission to escort supplies, but unexpectedly, he happened to be caught in the massive invasion of the Abyss.

Although he possessed his family's martial arts skills, as the captain of this team, his responsibilities extended beyond just supplies. Li Wenshu was confident he could protect the supplies safely, but this mission also involved taking care of some new recruits, who were invaluable talents from the training camp.

He brought them here this time mainly to broaden their horizons. Li Wenshu had traveled this road quite a bit during this period and often encountered one or two abyssal monsters. In the hands of the veteran, these monsters could be dealt with in a few moves.

That's why he brought some new recruits with him on this mission, just to let them see some blood. What kind of soldiers are they if they just stay in the camp training all the time? You should know that the first time he went to the battlefield, he directly followed the captain to wipe out a large monster camp. In Li Wenshu's opinion, the number of monsters on the way was not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Unexpectedly, such a simple task has turned into this situation. Li Wenshu looked at the new recruits behind him who were being protected by him and a few veterans and felt a pang of self-reproach.

Just now, a force of abyssal monsters collided head-on with their transport team. Before the actual battle could begin, several beast hounds appeared out of nowhere and attacked, scratching and injuring the new recruits.

To prevent any accidents from happening to the new recruits, Li Wenshu quickly led his team to the convoy carrying supplies and protected them. As the number of monsters around them increased, Li Wenshu's heart sank.

Just when they thought they were about to die in a foreign land, a vanguard of the Fools suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the monsters. They quickly broke into the monsters' encirclement and joined up with their own forces. With their help, the offensive was finally resolved.

Later, Li Wenshu saw Zhongli arrive with Ruotu Dragon King. When he heard that Zhongli was going to escort his troops, Li Wenshu was both surprised and delighted.

Since the identity of Zhongli Yanwang Dijun was exposed in the group chat, countless people have been visiting Wangsheng Hall to see Zhongli every day. In the end, Ningguang issued a ban, which allowed Wangsheng Hall to continue to operate normally.

However, Li Wenshu heard that Master Hu of the Rebirth Hall was actually happy to see so many people visiting the hall every day, and that quite a few people had even made reservations for the hall out of respect for Zhong Li. Master Hu's smile never left his face for those few days.

On the contrary, Ningguang's ban made it impossible for Master Hu to do business. It is said that Master Hu even wanted to go to Ningguang's door to demand an explanation in those days.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of relevant procedures, it is said that Master Hu never got to see Ningguang in the end.

The reason Li Wenshu came to serve as the captain of the transport unit was because he heard that Zhong Li had also come to Nata. Otherwise, given his original position in the army, he would never have been assigned to escort supplies.

Now that the Emperor himself was personally escorting him to his destination, how could Li Wenshu not be overjoyed? Not to mention the brothers who came with him and those greenhorns, if it weren't for the strict military discipline, they would have jumped up and down with excitement long ago.

Meanwhile, inside the Holy Flame Arena, after realizing that the Abyss had launched a full-scale attack, Mavica immediately activated the contingency plan left behind by Kiana and ordered all the people of the Fallen to come to the Holy Flame Arena for refuge.

Kinich found the order strange, but he still relayed it to the messengers of the various Suspended Wood people, who then passed it on to all the squads within Nata, instructing them to escort the civilians who were unable to fight to the Sacred Fire Arena for refuge as quickly as possible.

As for Mei and the others, they were assigned by Mavika to provide support to various battlefields. Upon receiving the order, Sora immediately rushed to the prepared hot air balloon and began heading to the battlefields that needed support.

Suddenly, numerous hot air balloons appeared in the sky above the Olympic Stadium. These balloons, without exception, belonged to the warriors still stationed there. They would use these balloons to travel to various battlefields to ensure the safety of supplies and personnel.

Mei's transformation was even simpler; she transformed into a streak of crimson lightning that reverberated across the sky above Nata. Deafening thunder and crimson lightning then echoed intermittently across the battlefields of Nata.

Mei's appearance, like the arrival of Thor, was deeply etched into the minds of every Nata warrior. Just then, after escorting the supplies, the Dragon King Rota stretched his body and summoned his forged greatsword to join the battle.

Dust billowed up around the Holy Flame Arena, and countless corpses of abyssal monsters were thrown high into the air before dissipating into nothingness.

Thus, the Dragon King Ruoduo successfully guarded all the entrances and exits of the Sacred Flame Arena with just his sword. As for Apep, it was even simpler; she instantly transformed into her original form and coiled the Sacred Flame Arena inside her body.

Then, a rich grass element burst forth from its body, and the grass on the ground instantly transformed into countless vines that attacked the abyss gates that appeared around it.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King Ruoduo immediately drew upon the energy of the lightning element from the earth's veins, letting out a long roar that instantly unleashed a powerful storm of lightning elements from his body.

Influenced by these lightning elements, the vines became even more active, and soon the nearby abyssal gates were destroyed one by one.

With the help of the two Dragon Kings, the Holy Fire Arena was now completely safe, but the Abyss's attack would not end there.

Before anyone knew it, darkness fell, and a strange eyeball appeared high in the sky. Then everyone could clearly feel that the abyssal energy around them had become more active.

At the same time, the eyeball cast more abyssal stones from the sky. Unfortunately, humanity is not currently capable of destroying these abyssal stones.

As the Abyssal Stones were dropped, the continuous emergence of Abyssal Monsters gradually caused casualties in some teams. Even worse news was that these Abyssal Stones landed on the only route for various tribes to reach the Holy Fire Arena. As a result, Mei and Bronya, who possessed the power to destroy these Abyssal Stones, had to abandon some less important places and go to support the escort troops.

To ensure that more warriors could survive, even Zhongli and the captain had arrived on the battlefield. In an instant, celestial stars appeared in the sky, sweeping away the abyssal tumors and the surrounding abyssal monsters with overwhelming force.

Now that Kiana has inherited the position of Heavenly Principle, Zhongli no longer needs to channel his power to maintain the false Heaven. Therefore, he is now truly at his peak; let him unleash his full power after so long.

Zhongli slowly rose into the air, his pupils bursting with brilliant golden light, and his aura rose accordingly, causing his clothes to flutter even without wind.

He then raised his right hand, and countless celestial stars quickly condensed behind him. Each celestial star carried energy comparable to that of a top-tier demon god. With a gentle wave, he sent the celestial stars crashing to the ground. The next second, a shield rose up on everyone's body.

At that moment, the sound lost its meaning, and a white light rose before everyone's eyes. As the white light dissipated, the abyssal craters on the ground were completely cleared away, and everyone was safe and sound.

Then Zhongli turned his gaze to the eyeball high in the sky, and a rock spear instantly materialized in his left hand.

With a flick of his right hand, Zhongli unleashed countless celestial stars carrying massive rock spears toward the eyeball. The eyeball, of course, was no pushover either. It manipulated immense abyssal energy to block Zhongli's attack and then launched even more abyssal boulders toward the ground.

Seeing that this attack had failed, Zhongli gripped his rock spear and quickly headed down to where the abyssal boulders were located, hoping to intercept them all.

Even though Zhongli destroyed them quickly, many Abyssal Stones still managed to fall. This time, the Abyssal Stones that fell were stronger than before. The Abyssal monsters summoned at the beginning were already various Hilichurl Kings that were difficult for ordinary people to match.

Not to mention the numerous beast-hunting hounds and even various Nata dragon phantoms. Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps sounded, and a large, fat Leaf Dragon appeared on the battlefield.

It staggered along, its eyes bloodshot, emanating a strong abyssal aura as it roared toward the abyssal tumor.

Then it began to charge toward the abyssal boulder, knocking away everything in its path, whether human, dragon, or abyssal monster.

Meanwhile, Chaska sat sadly by the infirmary. Just moments before, she had been escorting the people of her tribe to the Olympic arena, but an accident had occurred on the way.

Beast hounds, appearing out of nowhere, ambushed the group. Then, abyssal rocks fell from the sky, and countless abyssal monsters poured out from them. The large number of monsters scattered the entire group, and Chaska had no choice but to lead his family forward while fighting off the monsters.

However, prolonged contact with the power of the abyss triggered the abyssal corruption within Chaska's body. Just as she was struggling to resist the rage brought about by the abyssal corruption, a phantom of a ridge dragon quietly crept up behind her.

Just like in a cliché picture book, Chaska's adoptive mother took the fatal blow for her to protect her safety. Her younger sister, Aiko, also finally broke out after years of contact with the abyss during this attack. Her adoptive father was also seriously injured while covering Chaska's retreat and is currently receiving treatment in the medical ward.

As for Kuiko's situation, due to years of contact with the abyss and the current erosion by the abyss, even if she had time to help purify, it was too late to save her. Having lost two loved ones in one day, Chaska was on the verge of collapse.

The abyss within her body also erupted like never before, but she survived and, as a result, awakened her ancient name. Thus, all six heroes returned, and Mavica's plan was finally realized.

Having gathered the six ancient names and successfully activated the power of the ruling death within the divine throne through the sacred fire, Mavica gained unprecedented power. The Resurrection Poem was also strengthened and no longer needed to be triggered by the Holy Night of Returning Fire. Now, all warriors can finally fight without any worries.

In an instant, everyone's morale soared. The Abyssal Tumors on the ground were dealt with by Mavica, while Zhongli was responsible for intercepting those falling from the sky. Now, the entire Nata was united and the Abyss was in retreat.
