Chapter 75 - Abyss Demon.

Somewhere far away, a pair of bright eyes were looking towards Tatsuya, Miyuki, Ning'Er, "Such talented kids." Those eyes looked at Yu Yan flashing before looking towards Nie Li in the crowd.

"Soon, the time for the gate to open will arrive."

On the slope,

Shen Xiu was filling the crystal with her soul force; she used more than half of her Soulforce to fill the crystal before giving it back to them.

She licked her lips, "Now, don't be stingy and fill it up nicely. Make sure a strong one comes out."

Gui Sha caught it awkwardly. They had planned to fill it with the Soulforce of six BlackGold, but Shen Xiu had already filled it with much more and that. Now she wanted them to fill it up with even more. He had a feeling that she desired the destruction of the Glory City and death of Tatsuya more than even them.

Shen Xiu turned around and walked away, leaving the last warning, "Be careful while planning; he is smart. You never know when your plans might become his."

Long Sha narrowed his eyes as he watched her leave; she had poured much of her Soulforce in the stone. He was weighing if this was a good time to kill her.

Soon, he shook his head; she was helping them much more than he thought. He was sure that she wanted similar things. They just had to show enough strength for her to invest, like now.

"Ask the division to summon it at night. We will make the Glory City kneel tonight."

After the Sunset,

It had been more than twelve hours since the beast tide started. Although it was easy and even citizens who had trained in the dojo or hunters or such people who knew how to fight started participating slowly.

What gave them the confidence was that every time someone made a mistake and was about to die. Swords appeared out of thin air and protected them from the beast's onslaught. Even showing them a way to retreat.

With no fear of death, they advanced forward.

Tatsuya was even kind enough to create bows and arrows for those who didn't want to fight on the frontline. They were standing on newly created platforms that were even higher than the wall of swords. Shooting arrows from there and killing the demon beasts on the other side.

It reduced the danger of beast horde even more, to the point it all became easy.

Miyuki had also completely absorbed the Ifrit.

Yu Yan looked at people who were surrounded by normal-sized swords of light and sighed, "It good that you are saving them, but you are also spoiling them. This can't even be called training."

'I know, but them dying won't serve any purpose in a rigged battle.'

Yu Yan tilted her head before supporting it with her hands, "True."

Miyuki raised her head, "They have started moving."

'You have taught her well.'

Miyuki chuckled, "It helps that she is a quick learner."

"Who is a quick learner?" Ning'Er asked she was currently sitting on the bed on which Ziyun was sleeping.

Ziyun had probably earned the most respect from the people. With Tatsuya standing there for hours, stopping the advance of most of the Beast Tide. Not only that, he was creating weapons with a wave of his hand. And saving people from dying in the war without even moving.

Everyone thought if he wanted, he could probably wipe out a beast tide of this size. As he said, this was a training ground now. They were also getting food, bones, blood, and other rare materials.

It wouldn't be wrong to say he was revered and on such a person's shoulder, Ziyun had put a bed and was sleeping. She had earned everyone's respect in a much different way.

'Shen Xiu, she has become a proper noble.'

She clutched the bedsheet. She was also a noble, but she felt a different meaning hidden in Tatsuya's words.

'Don't worry, I like you more the way you are now.'

Martial Arts Field,

People from the Dark Guild were silently preparing the ceremony. Ten Black Gold experts were sitting in a circle; Six were from the Dark Guild, while Four were Elders of the Sacred Family. Other than them, there were nearly a hundred more people. The whole division hiding in the Glory City was here.

Hong! Boom! Boom!

The ground started constantly shaking, cracking.

One of the leading men shouted; his voice was nearly frantic, "Come forth!! Abyss Demon!!" That blue light shined on his face, causing his face to look especially sinister.

The surface of the Martial Arts Field was full of cracks. Vaguely, lava emerged from the ground. A giant head rose up from the burning lava. The lava was tumbling; many small lava drops splashed onto the earth some distance away and turned into small fiery demons. Those little burning demons roared, running in all directions. The places they ran past made the ground burning.

A giant demon that was a dozen meters in height rose from the lava-like an awakened giant. A massive set of wings grew on its back. Its hand was holding onto a giant flaming sword.

The leading black-clothed man madly laughed, "Hahahha Wreck Havok!!"

At this moment, the Abyss Demon suddenly opened those bell-like eyes of his. The giant flaming sword in his hand swung out. The leading black-clothed men instantly perished within the flames without screaming.

The remaining people were scared out of their wits and immediately ran out.

When they were running, they suddenly disappeared, not only them, all those lava monsters that were running in all directions started disappearing.

A whitish-blue mist covered the boundaries of Martial Arts Field. Anything that touched it disappeared.

On top of a building, most of the elders were standing, and heads of families were standing there.

Ye Zong looked at the scene with surprise and displeasure, "To think they would go this far. Open a gate to Abyss Realm."

Chen Zhenhong has a solemn expression, "It is good that we already knew about it. We were able to transfer the guards to make sure there were no casualties."

One of them spoke up, "What is that mist?"

"It is one of the rarest skills related to space. It is teleporting them somewhere."

"I don't get it; why couldn't we have just stopped them from opening."

One standing beside him nudged him, "That is young lord's order, don't question it."

Ye Zong inwardly sighed after hearing that. Ever since the beast horde started, Tatsuya's prestige had drastically increased. His words had so much more weight that few people didn't even want to question him now. And these were the elders of aristocratic families. God knows how the citizens felt.

He was bothered by this sudden increase in Tatsuya's prestige. Ever since the kid told him that he wanted to be an alchemist, he started showing his talent. Before even he knew it, he thought the kid was the future of Glory City. More than anyone else here, he wanted Tatsuya to become the next City Lord.

As the City Lord, he understood the changes in the Glory City most intimately. He knew there was no comparison between the Glory City before Tatsuya and Miyuki started helping him develop it and now after eight years.

Everyone was much more powerful; they even had two outposts, Heavenly Fate Plateau and Abyss Prison Realm.

Tatsuya was also the one among his children he connected the most to. The child who understood him the most, the one he was most proud of.

Then why was he bothered? He was worried because; he understood Tatsuya too.

He knew the fear was an important reason slowing down Glory City's growth; once Tatsuya wipes out this fear, the Glory City would start to grow again rapidly. He knew once that happens, Tatsuya would most like to withdraw from the activities happening in the Glory City. He was worried that the people here will be disappointed when Tatsuya refused or silently disappears. Moreover, there won't be anyone that could overcome his prestige as the next City Lord.

Strangely his lovely daughter was also gaining prestige in a much different way than any other.

On the battlefield,

In a complete direction from where the demon beasts were, abyss lava demons started dropping from the sky. With their appearance, gigantic swords appeared, forming a new wall.

Lu Piao looked at the scene, startled, "what are those?"

Xiao Xue looked towards the new beasts before looking at the blue mist in the sky and then at Tatsuya, who was still standing in the same position merged with Bahamut. Even from so far away, his figure even now looked colossus.

"Maybe, he thought this was too easy?" In fact, she felt weird addressing the way she was. She felt like she should use a more respectful term when talking about him.

Du Ze stepped beside them, "we were lucky that we just joined the battlefield again after resting."

Nie Li dropped from the sky beside them, "Those are abyss demons, be careful of those."

He looked at the blue mist with great concentration, he didn't think Tatsuya had some control over space. He didn't sense any power of law, so he thought it must be the power of that demon spirit.

On the slope,

Long Sha punched the tree beside him while looking at the woman who was standing at the edge, watching the battlefield, "You used us! are you on his side!" He was already prepared to retreat.

Shen Xiu glanced back at him with a smile, "yes and no."

She continued without waiting for him to speak, "I did use you; I always thought that he was still hiding a trump card from me. So, I used your plan to push him; I wanted to see his trump card. And, No, I am not on his side. Well, for that matter, I am not on your side either. Anyway, didn't you get precious information? He can control space."
