To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 24: Rookie and Legend (Jeff, 1/2)

"Hoooaaammm!"

Giant Leaf Woods / Sites of Memorial

08:12 AM

The next day.

Getting up early, Ars jogged to the Sites of Memorial to meet a Legend. The reason for that was because he didn't know where to go to hunt the Giant Bull Hornet.

Monster Name: Giant Bull Hornet

Difficulty: 3

Speciality: Giant Stinger Needle

Inteligence: 2

Type: Mob Monster

Monster Info:

> Huge Hornet Monster that has horns like a bull. They attack exactly like bulls by butting. Morning to evening they used to work to collect flower essence and deliver it to the main nest. But they will become aggressive if they meet Hunter.

Recommendation Hunting Party: Silver

Existence: Floor 1 and 2

Ars actually already met the Giant Bull Hornet while in training with Yin. But after the training session with the Bull Hornet was over, Ars did not know and was not told how to find that giant Hornet monster.

Because of that, he headed to Legend's house besides Yin, who is very familiar with Giant Leaf Woods.

"Tf do you want in this dark morning?!"

Ars's arrival greeted by a harsh morning greeting from Jeff.

At that time Jeff is chopping wood into blocks of a certain size. That could say he had started his morning activities.

"Why tf you already mad at me? I haven't even done anything. "

"Just your appearance giving off that cheater aura can irritate me."

Jeff talks about the influence of Yin on Ars aura.

Although, Jeff is not wrong to say that Ars has the aura of a cheater.

Ars didn't care about Jeff's babbling, then asked: "Hey, old man, where can I find Giant Bull Hornet?"

Jeff got a bit of interest because of that question. "What do you want with them?"

As if reading Ars' mind, Jeff stopped his morning activities.

Ars had the feeling that a lesson was about to begin.

"I'll hunt them down," answered Ars casually.

Jeff sighed. Already suspected Ars had such intentions.

"You fool."

Ars' emotions for a moment rose high at being called that. But he gets rid of the intention to be angry because maybe Jeff had a reason to call Ars stupid.

"Giant Bull Hornet is a flying Abyssal Monster. Don't you know what that means?"

Ars just kept quiet. But his expression said that he didn't know.

"That's why I didn't like the idea that you learn from that cheater."

Ars also had some regrets when asked Yin to train him. But why is Jeff so pissed off like that because of Yin?

"Do you know Violet Caelum Radiation?"

"Radiation?"

"As the name suggests, it's a dangerous radiation that we shouldn't interact with. It's one of the Abyssal Phenomenon that can kill you without you knowing it."

[Violet Caelum Radiation]

[Radiation emitted by the light from the Thousand Layer Rainbow Horizon. The emission from this radiation is stronger the deeper the floor]

[The emission from this radiation is very dangerous to anybody. Because if their body cannot adapt and receive more emissions than the body can accept, then someone will be diagnosed with Abyssal Infection.]

[The Infected won't last long. Only have more than a year to live]

[There is no known cure for Abyssal Infection yet.]

[All records said there are no survivors of Abyssal Infection]

"Wait, isn't that dangerous?!" Ars just found out about it, it's natural that he overreacted. "Then, how did that radiation infect us?!"

"The radiation is all around us. They are like the oxygen we breathe every day. But the radiation is stronger near the Prohibited Border and the ceiling. "

We can also interpret ceiling as a high altitude/place.

"Wait, that means, the higher I stand -"

"The more emissions you will breathe."

Just two days ago, in the afternoon, Ars made his way west by air - jumping from tree to tree. Which means, at that time, he was very close to the Abyssal ceiling.

Ars approaches Jeff. Pulling Jeff's collar with both hands, then asked angrily: "Old man, are you saying it exposed me to that radiation?"

At Ars' very serious question, Jeff burst out laughing. "Buhahaha, hahahahaha!"

"What is so fucking funny!? Say, say that what you say is bullshit!"

Ars was angry, but there was fear in his words. That was what made Jeff laugh.

Jeff gets rid of Ars' hand from his collar. Slowly stopped his laughter that made a few tears come out of his eyes.

"That's why I call you fool. You're acting great, but the truth is you're still very green with this prison. "

Ars can't stop thinking. What's so funny when someone in front of you has the chance to die early?

But it's like Jeff said. Indeed, Ars is very confident in his strength, plus he has two overpower cheats that no one else has. But it would be in vain if Ars didn't learn more about the world he wanted to face. Where before achieving his ambition, there is a high chance that he would die.

Ars calmed down a little, then asked again. "I ask once again, old man, is my current situation really as dangerous as you say?"

Ars lowered his pride at that one question.

On the other hand, Jeff even thought twice about answering. Then suddenly he glanced at the two black swords that he was leaning against the wooden blocks.

Ars immediately noticed the two black swords. "Bear Beast Blade?"

Two black swords, one of which already had many scars, and the other was still like new.

"Since you have given me that expensive black sword, I will tell you."

"-Give you?"

"But because two days ago I helped you, so the price of that sword is paid off with the answer I will give."

"Wait-wait." Ars had another question that confused him. "When did I give you that sword?"

"When I let you stay one night at my house. In the morning you leave immediately leaving the sword. It's a form of gratitude for me, right?"

No wonder one of the five swords disappeared from [Unlimited Inventory]. It turned out that Ars forgot to keep that one sword back two days ago.

Ars' expression turned sour. That one black sword cost is 10k Cash, and when compared to Jeff who helped Ars two days ago, and the answer to Ars' life and death question - "Ah, yes, of course, that is a gift to you!"

Ars gave up the 10k Cash for his life.

"So, what will happen to me now?!"

"You won't have a problem, maybe."
