Chapter 381: Chapter381-Hell Fire, Evolve!

The shovel in Yorick’s hand radiated a dense aura of darkness and decay.

He lifted the shovel, then began digging into the ground right in front of the roaring army of hell.

With every swing of the shovel, the flames burning on the bodies of those hell soldiers dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, their very existence seemed to be rejected by the entire world of the Abyss. As a result, the spatial rifts Kate had just opened were completely sealed shut in an instant.

And just as the army of hell ran into trouble, another shadowy figure appeared above them.

That long, slender phantom seemed to exist somewhere between nothingness and reality.

In his hands, he held a black codex, which also radiated the aura of Rules.

"Death is praised, and only what has passed is cherished. Poor children, allow me to sing you a funeral song of death."

The next instant, a song like a murmured whisper began to linger in the ears of every soldier in the army of hell. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After just a few breaths, they were clutching their heads and rolling across the ground in agony.

The blazing Hell Fire had not become their weapon.

Instead, it had become their only means of release!

Kate, who stood in the distance, was also affected by the funeral song.

Her expression changed, and without the slightest hesitation, she used [Flashstep] and vanished from where she stood.

At almost the same moment she left, that massive army of hell suffered what was practically the most devastating blow in its entire history.

Their bodies were collapsing. They clutched their heads and let out anguished wails. Some even began attacking one another, only to be burned alive by the Hell Fire.

For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to transform into an Asura hellscape, with screams echoing throughout the entire Abyss.

Kate’s retreat did not free her from the current crisis.

That was because Yorick’s shovel was following closely behind her at every moment.

She did not dare relax in the slightest, because the smallest lapse in focus could result in severe injury, or even endanger her life!

Whether it was Yorick’s shovel or Karsus’s Death Movement, both were items that truly contained the power of Rules. With Kate’s current strength, she was not yet powerful enough to contend against them.

Left with no other choice, Kate could only raise her whip once more and use [Infinite Lightblade].

Seeing this, Yorick could only temporarily choose to avoid it, dodging the terrifying heat within the miniature suns that was powerful enough to melt him completely!

Kate was able to temporarily escape his pursuit, but she still had not shaken off Yorick’s lock-on.

Faced with this situation, the madness on Kate’s face grew even more intense.

On the other side, after dealing with the army of hell, Abyss Overseer Karsus also blocked the path Kate had to take.

Compared to Yorick, Karsus’s face was filled with even stronger disbelief and wariness.

Although on the surface, it looked as if Karsus had effortlessly slaughtered the army of hell, only Karsus himself understood that his Death Hymn had not been easy to use at all.

In fact, he had nearly poured out all of his Rule power just to barely accomplish it.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Why have you invaded our Abyss?"

"And how did you—"

Karsus’s furious questioning suddenly came to a halt.

Because he was shocked to discover that Kate, who stood before him, was only a little over level 300!

Was this some kind of joke?

You are merely an awakener barely over level 300. What gives you the right to fight back and forth against me, a level-700 powerhouse who has mastered the Laws?

Just what kind of identity does this girl have?

Her strength is far too heaven-defying!

One had to know that the strength of the Abyss Overseers basically represented the ceiling of the Abyss’s combat power.

Even peak human powerhouses above level 900 would still only be evenly matched when facing an Abyss Overseer.

Karsus shook his head.

The Kate before him made a rare trace of fear rise within his heart.

The current Kate was only a little over level 300.

If she reached level 700 and truly grew up, just how terrifying would her strength become?

At that time, perhaps only His Majesty the Lord of Abyss would be able to personally suppress her!

In the distance, the miniature suns gradually subsided, and the scorching light faded along with them.

Yorick’s figure passed through the miniature suns almost instantly and blocked Kate’s retreat.

He and Karsus stood in front of and behind Kate, cutting off all of her escape routes.

"Run. Go on, keep running!"

As Yorick spoke, a flash of humiliation and anger passed through his eyes.

His Majesty the Lord of Abyss had entrusted him with guarding the Abyss.

But now?

Not only had someone invaded the Abyss, even His Majesty the Lord of Abyss’s palace had been smashed into ruins.

At this very moment, the thought of fleeing even surfaced in Yorick’s mind.

However, that thought lasted only for an instant before he completely threw it away.

What kind of joke was that?

With His Majesty the Lord of Abyss’s strength, even if Yorick ran away, he would still be unable to escape death!

So for Yorick, the best way to atone was to kill the invader in the cruelest way possible!

Yorick looked at Kate, his eyes filled with unconcealed killing intent.

"Your awakened skill is indeed powerful. Even someone as strong as me has no choice but to avoid its edge for the time being."

"But with your current strength, how many more times can you release it?"

"So give up. Hand over the [Lunar Robe] you stole, and I will try my best to leave your corpse intact."

On the other side, although Karsus did not speak, he had already lifted the Death Movement in his hands and prepared for battle.

For Karsus, killing Kate was also something that had to be done.

Because his mission, just like Yorick’s, was to guard the Abyss.

If Kate did not die, how was he supposed to answer to the Lord of Abyss?

Facing Yorick and Karsus’s pincer attack, Kate suddenly burst into crazed laughter.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous. Do you think I’ll just surrender without a fight? That is absolutely impossible!"

"Even if I die, I’ll smash this rotten Abyss of yours to pieces!"

A deranged smile flickered across Kate’s face.

But her heart had already sunk to the bottom.

That was because the energy stored within her body was no longer enough.

Moreover, because of the high-intensity battle, her body had become far too exhausted, causing her control to decline significantly as well.

Kate was not even certain whether she could launch her attack before the enemies did.

Sure enough, my level is still too low.

If only I were a little stronger!

Kate sighed inwardly.

But on the other side, Yorick and Karsus were not going to give her any chance to catch her breath.

They launched their attacks once again!

The music of death added a background melody to this battle.

On the other side, the shovel in Yorick’s hand grew larger and larger, as though it intended to completely bury Kate beneath it.

"I’ll fight you both to the end!"

Kate raised the long whip in her hand once more, while her body began trembling beyond her control.

"Come forth, wrath of hell! Step into glorious evolution!"
