Chapter 278 I am the Lord of the Abyss (4k)

The fisherman was taken away by the church so thoughtlessly and casually.

The fishermen were all silent about this.

This was the first time such a thing had happened in their village, but it was unknown how many times it had happened in their area.

It was like this before, it is like this now, and I'm afraid it will still be like this in the future.

There is no hope at all.

But they can't leave here and can only die here for the rest of their lives.

So in order to continue living, everyone will pretend not to see it and forget it silently.

Except for the only two people!

The man who had informed on others during the day was now cursing while rubbing himself with medicinal wine.

His father had stolen it from somewhere.

The man had forgotten why exactly, he just remembered that it seemed like his brother broke his leg or something and he kept screaming.

In short, it was in order to cure his brother that his father stole a pot of medicinal wine. It was the only valuable thing in their family that not many people knew about.

But unfortunately, it was his father who stole the pot of medicinal wine, but he was beaten so badly by the owner that he died at the doorstep.

The man did not give the medicinal wine to his dead brother. He just thought that he might need this thing in the future.

In addition, his father had died and the family was about to run out of food, so he secretly strangled his brother that night.

He thus kept the pot of hard-earned medicinal wine.

After so many years, the medicinal wine that was saved at the cost of two lives has been almost used up by him.

If the priest's kicks hadn't caused him so much pain that he couldn't sleep, he would have been reluctant to use it.

"It's so unlucky. Not only did I not get anything, but I was asked to pay for this last bit of good stuff."

While grimacing, the man did not forget to curse his own miserable fate.

After applying the medicated wine, the man no longer felt any pain.

No matter how many times he used it, he couldn't help but praise the wine jar:

"It's a good thing I kept everything from you! If you gave it to that bastard, I wouldn't have enjoyed it, and he might even have taken half of this house."

After saying that, the man felt sleepy.

This thing is really useful. No matter how severe the abrasion or swelling is, it will not only relieve the pain, but will also almost heal in two or three days.

Over the years, he relied on this method to go to many places, endured beatings, and stole a lot of food and property.

The only bad thing is that this thing will make you very sleepy after using it.

But what is this compared to its effectiveness?

After yawning, the man scratched his shoulder and climbed onto his bed.

That was the only bed in their house, and it was on this bed that he strangled his damn brother.

After strangling the other person, he didn't feel any pain at all. He just thought that he could finally sleep in bed again.

The floor is not a comfortable place to sleep on.

Even though his father had already given him all his clothes.

After lying down happily, the man closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

The effect of the medicinal wine made the man sleep very deeply, so deeply that even when the window of his house was pushed open and someone came in, he could not hear a word.

He didn't wake up until something suddenly strangled his neck.

But he was a little slow to wake up, as the other person had already grabbed his neck and was using his own weight to press him madly toward the back of the bed.

The man couldn't break free from the hemp rope around his neck.

I could only grab back randomly.

At this time, he still thought that it was his dead brother who turned into a ghost and came back to settle the score with him.

So the huge fear almost overwhelmed him in an instant.

But after he grabbed the other person's obviously immature face while waving his arms wildly out of his survival instinct.

The man knew who was coming!

The son with half a face!

As the last person who can't forget this incident.

The boy comes to seek revenge on the man!
This scene is just like what happened in this room back then.

The man was lying on the bed with the boy pressing on the head of the bed.

It’s just that the reasons and positions of both sides have been completely changed.

One is out of pure malice, the other is just out for revenge.

In his gradually blurred consciousness, the man grabbed something and smashed it behind him.

He was sure that he had hit the other person's head because the force of the other person's stranglehold on his neck had weakened.

This made the man very happy, and he felt that he had seized the opportunity to survive.

But before he could be happy, he felt the force on his neck getting stronger and tighter.

The man could only hit the boy's head harder and harder.

But this time, the more he hit the hemp rope, the tighter it became.

Finally, the man stopped swinging the sticks he had grabbed in a panic, and the boy loosened the hemp rope around his neck.

The man is dead.

The boy strangled him on the bed just like he had strangled his brother.

After watching the only enemy he could kill with his own hands die in front of him.

A trace of fear finally appeared in the boy's eyes, but after a moment this trace of fear disappeared without a trace, and only endless anger remained.

It's not just this snitch.

And those so-called adults in the church!
But the boy also knew that he had no way to kill the other party. Unlike this loser, they had armor, weapons, and extraordinary powers that mortals could not do anything about.

However, he will not stop seeking revenge, he has his own way!
In great rage and determination, the boy tried to drag the man's body away.

But he soon discovered that the dead body was so heavy that it was not something that a seven-year-old like him could drag away.

So after a brief hesitation, the boy dug out a hatchet from his house.

Not too sharp, but good enough.

One, two.
The boy who attacked the neck quickly chopped off the man's head.

This left his face covered in blood, which was not sure whether it belonged to him or the man.

Without even thinking of wiping it, the boy who got the man's head ran directly towards the place he remembered.

That is the mountain behind their village.

Because all the trees that can be cut down have been cut down for money or heating.

So even though no one had been here for a long time, the boy still walked freely to the place where his father had brought him in his memory.

That was the place where his father brought him to pray for blessings and witness from the Supreme Being just after his real parents died.

Pray that the Supreme Being will bless him and witness him becoming his son.

So here is a temple, a deserted temple.

It enshrines one of the two most famous supreme beings in the New World - King Lionheart.

The temple had long since collapsed, and only the statue of King Lionheart was still intact, because in the past the boy's father and some other villagers would come to repair the statue.

They feel that this way they can receive the blessing and protection of the Supreme Being.

But obviously, this is useless. The Lionheart King may really be the king who loves this land and the sea people the most, but he has indeed died long ago.

A dead man has nothing to offer them.

Instead, it will become a huge mountain above their heads.

As for the church, it cared even less about the so-called king's statue than these fishermen.

As mentioned before, the dead can't give them any punishment.

Instead, it will become a sharp sword in their hands.

So when the boy returned here, the statue of the king under the moonlight was already covered with vines and moss.

Looking at the king's statue with both eyes shattered, the boy holding the man's head couldn't help but sneer.

It’s no wonder that the king, who has lost his eyes, is oblivious to anything that is happening before his eyes.

The boy did not come here to pray to this so-called king.

He had long lost his awe and expectation for these supreme beings.

He came for revenge!
In front of the king's statue, there were already placed candles, a hammer, and a goat, which was very rare to him, which he had bought with the money his father had hidden.

He knew where his father hid the money because his father had never hidden it from him, and his father's intentions were very clear before he left.

You know where the food and money are hidden, take care of yourself, you are all alone from now on!
His father hoped that even if he was gone, his son would still have food and money to rely on.

However, the boy resolutely exchanged the last bit of wealth in his family for these things.

The goat tied here made uneasy noises when it saw the boy coming.

The animal's instinct made it feel extremely uneasy.

The boy placed the man's head on the ground in silence.

Then the candles were lit and white wax was used to outline an evil ritual on the ground.

Apart from collecting various taxes, the only thing the church cared about them was teaching them to identify cult rituals and symbols so that they could report any cult members they found.

Because the church also knows how easy it is for cults to breed under their rule.

However, the church soon discovered that this was actually teaching the untouchables how to perform evil cult rituals and stopped everything.

But the boy had memorized the most important rituals.

He's going to summon a demon!

He heard from his father that the Old World was being invaded by demons.

In that case, he must be able to summon the devil!
Neither gods nor kings can be relied upon, the Supreme One is merely a tool used by the insects to torture and enslave them.

The extraordinary ones have even less to look forward to, as they themselves are part of those insects.

So the boy knew very well that if he wanted revenge.

Then only those who are regarded as enemies by them can help him.

The boy outlined the evil symbols one by one. The candles he bought also had six circles inside and outside, with six candles in a circle, forming the blasphemous number six.

The man's head was placed by him at the center of the ceremony.

And that's not all, he had heard from the priests that demons were blasphemous and chaotic creatures, and only blasphemous and chaotic acts could attract them.

The more blasphemous something is, the more powerful demons it will attract.

The boy wanted revenge and wanted to let the insects in the church know how angry the mortals they had always looked down upon could be.

So, the man raised the hammer towards the king statue in front of him.

The statue had been corroded so badly that even a child with a hammer could have smashed it.

But even so, this is a genuine statue of the king.

Destroying the king's statue was definitely the most blasphemous thing the boy could think of and do.

He believed that this would definitely attract a very powerful demon!

However, when the boy raised the hammer and was about to swing it, he hesitated.

After a moment, he put down the hammer and quickly walked back to untie the rope around the goat's neck.

"Go, run, you are free!"

It was the offering he had bought according to his memory, and the most valuable living thing he could buy with his limited money after buying the candles and the hammer.

But now, the boy decided to let the goat go.

Because he felt there was no need to kill innocent goats.

And suddenly he found a better sacrifice - himself!

A living human boy!
The goat quickly disappeared into the shadows of the night.

The boy raised the hammer again.

This time, the boy swung the hammer at the king's statue without any hesitation.

That was his anger, and also the anger of all mortals in the New World.

This anger has been suppressed for more than a thousand years.

So his swing was without hesitation and full of power.

We are determined to bring funeral to this rotten place!

After the first blow of the hammer, the witch, who had already traveled a long way, covered the ears of the girl in her arms, allowing her to continue sleeping without having to listen to this extremely blasphemous voice and almost endless anger.

After the second hammer struck, if the people along the entire New World coastline got up at night, they would find that the storm sea in front of them had receded like the tide, revealing a large area of ​​hideous land.

After the third hammer, dark clouds completely obscured the sky above all living beings. Neither the cold but no longer lonely dark moon nor the original moon that had been hanging high from the beginning to the end could shine on the world anymore.

When the fourth hammer was struck, the nobles and clergy who were still enjoying themselves in the brightly lit hall were all surprised to find that the lights that had been shining brightly just now were extinguished in an instant, leaving everything in darkness.

After the fifth hammer struck, everyone who had already stepped into the new dark continent heard the sound of falling objects outside the house. They opened their doors and looked out, and then they saw the church flags falling to the ground.

With the sixth blow of the hammer, the king's statue, which had long been eroded by time, completely shattered in front of the boy, and the boy finally saw hope in the darkness that seemed to devour everything.

The glow of the two moons had long been obscured by dark clouds, but the boy could still see the vague figure of the visitor with the help of the candlelight that had turned into a pale green color at some point.

It was an incomparably majestic existence, as tall as two overlapping people, with a pair of open wings at his waist and four horse-like hooves beneath his body.

There is no doubt that this alien figure is a demon!

This was a terrifying scene that would make any child cry out in agony, but the boy only felt extremely excited. He was so excited that he was completely unaware of the biting cold brought by blood loss.

I just felt like I was in a furnace, full of excitement.

"Are you a devil?"

"If you are, I can offer you everything I have, my soul, my flesh and blood, you can take it all, I only ask you to fulfill my wish!"

During the moment of silence, the goat that the boy had let go somehow appeared under the horse's hooves.

The continuous cries did not make this moment seem funny, but instead added a sense of weirdness and evil.

The other party finally spoke:

"Why did you kill a man when you could have let a goat go?"

"He is not a human being. He killed my father. He bowed his head and fawned on those church bugs. He is just like those church bugs and those abominable supernatural beings. He is a vicious inhuman being!"

The boy's roar answered the deep darkness.

After a moment of roaring, it seemed that more boys were seen pleading in despair to the darkness before them:

"So answer me, please answer me, are you a demon?"

The other party seemed to look down at himself, but he did give an answer:

"I am the Lord of the Abyss."
