Chapter 297 The Golden Outlines, Three Abyss Opponents
As Alex stepped forward, a blinding light swallowed him whole, forcing him to shut his eyes.
It lasted only a second, but after spending so long in the abyss, it felt disorienting.
The sudden brightness stabbed into his vision, making him hesitate for just a moment.
Then, without wasting time, he pressed onward.
[You have passed the veil of light.]
[From now on, there is no light source. You have been lost from light.]
"...Huh."
Before Alex could even process the message, his surroundings plunged into absolute darkness.
His [Eternal Flames], his ever-burning source of light, were extinguished in an instant.
"What the..." His voice trailed off as he instinctively tried to summon the flames again, but—
[The Abyss stops you from activating this skill.]
[Being blind is better than witnessing the horrors that await you.]
A sharp chill crawled up Alex's spine as he read the second notification.
"The hell does that mean?" he muttered under his breath.
Then he realized something even worse, he couldn't move.
Panic gripped him for a brief moment.
His feet felt glued to the ground, and no matter how much he willed himself forward, his body didn't respond.
He was truly blind, left with nothing but suffocating darkness in every direction.
Without his [Eternal Flames], he had no way of seeing.
He couldn't navigate, let alone fight.
It was like being thrown into the void, surrounded by emptiness.
And yet, he wasn't the first to come this far.
He had heard of only one other person before him who had reached this depth, the commander of the angel army.
A being of overwhelming strength and divine power.
Yet, even he had fallen here, never returning from the abyss.
Was this why?
Did Varyn, the so-called God of the Abyss, need to stack so many advantages in his favor just to secure victory?
The thought made Alex clench his fists.@@@@
If he lost here, then what was the point of everything he had endured?
All the battles he had fought, all the pain he had suffered, if he failed now, it would all mean nothing.
No.
He refused.
He would not let it end here.
And then—
A chilling voice echoed ahead, its tone filled with condescension.
"Hahahaha~"
"Such an idiot..."
The laughter that followed was twisted, filled with amusement.
It wasn't just one voice, there were multiple.
Alex's expression darkened.
The vortex of golden energy in his eyes began to swirl violently, a reflection of his growing rage.
The god of the abyss and his lackeys probably thought they had already won.
That now, with Alex rendered blind and helpless, he was no longer a threat.
They were wrong.
Alex had something none of them did: the will to keep moving forward.
He took a slow breath.
If this place was a domain, then his [Destiny Shift] ability wouldn't work here as trying to undo the [Veil of Light] would do nothing.
That was fine. He didn't need it.
A dragon.
But not just any dragon.
[Primordial Abyss Dragon, Morgathis, Level 2000]
Alex's gaze hardened.
It made sense.
The God of the Abyss must have summoned it as a guardian.
Then, the second figure.
Alex's breath stilled.
He knew exactly who this was.
A towering, shifting mass of darkness.
Never fully solid, its jagged armor swallowed all light, glowing with eerie crimson runes.
A floating crown of writhing tendrils hovered above its head, each ending in an all-seeing abyssal eye.
Its clawed hands dripped with liquid void, unraveling reality at a mere touch.
Its aura was so powerful that, even through the abyss, Alex saw two tiny white dots, its pupils, staring straight at him.
[Varyn, God of the Abyss, Level 1000]
Level 1000.
But in terms of sheer power, he was comparable to a level 2000 boss.
And in his own domain?
He was something even worse.
Alex forced his breathing to remain steady.
Then, the third figure came into view.
A two-meter-tall being, its head crowned with twisted black horns.
Crimson wings stretched behind its back, and a black halo floated above its head.
Sharp teeth glinted in the dark as it grinned, its armored form exuding an aura of raw, abyssal power.
Alex recognized him immediately.
Even though he had never seen this person before, there was no doubt in his mind.
[Lorien, Chosen One of the Abyss, Level 2000]
'...This is bad.'
Three monsters.
A Primordial Dragon.
A God.
And the Abyss's strongest chosen warrior.
The weight of their presence crushed down on him.
And yet, Alex kept walking.
He pretended not to see.
Varyn's voice echoed through the abyss.
"Morgathis."

"Yes, Lord?" the dragon rumbled.
"Kill him. He is already blind."
The Primordial Dragon spread his massive wings, his golden outline burning brightly in Alex's vision.
"Understood."
Without hesitation, Morgathis launched forward.
A deafening roar tore through the abyss as the dragon shot toward him at breakneck speed.
Alex's muscles tensed.
A smirk played on his lips.
'Gotcha.'
He activated [Bleeding Dragon Claws].
He was ready.
