To the Depth of Abyss

"Then, how are we going to solve this problem?"

Ars teleported the three of them in the midair, on the floating sword podium he created. 

In front of them, about 5km away, Mountain Snail seems to be accelerating its speed. Most likely it would arrive at Mutiara City by tomorrow afternoon.

"This is difficult, Master."

Ars was not expected that Alexander being that serious. 

Alexander, who is usually cowardly and not confident with himself, stare sharply at the Mountain Snail.

It seems, although he did not help in the termination attempt carried out the other day, Alexander was serious about responding to the problem.

"Have you thought of a few things?"

"Eh?"

Before deciding something, Ars wanted to know Alexander's perception. 

But apparently, it made Alex ask and curious.

"What? Is there anything wrong?"

"A-ah, no! Yes, about this monster, I thought that the monster was just a control car that would most likely carry a mobile bomb."

Alex also speculated the same as Ars.

Mountain Snail was a controlled monster that Echidna controlled remotely. So, Echidna doesn't need to endanger herself to be on the Mountain Snail in case the Abyssal Hunter manages to destroy the Mountain Snail's defenses.

"Mountain is not that big of a problem. The big problem is, if inside that monster snail, there are actually a ton of bomb, it would be a problem since Mutiara City was already within range of its explosion."

Alexander being very wise in such a situation. 

Ars can't see the cowardice and unconfidence in Alexander anymore. What remained were warriors who were more experienced in battle than Ars.

"I can teleport Mutiara City if that happened. But that would drain all of my strength and put me in danger from being attacked."

"Oooh! As expected of Master! Don't worry, if that is going to happen, I will protect you with all my might!"

Alexander will defend Ars whatever it takes. But he did not care about the Hunters that lost their lives in order to slow down Mountain Snail. 

Well, Ars did not want to bother to think about that. Because that is what sacrifice is. 

"The solution regarding Mutiara City has been planned. Then, how are we going to attack that super big snail?"

Because of the black-like-bird things, Ars did not want to make a risk to break through. 

["All of them is, Darkness Walet."] 

Someone talking to Ars in the communication way. That was Hera. 

Before Ars left, he left Hera a thing which was a means of long-distance communication.

"Drakness Walet?" asked Ars.

["Yes. They are creatures that could only be summoned when night fell. You might can see them, because they are darker than night. But the problem is their speed. They move at a constant high speed. The only one who could see their movements was the Sin of Pride, Frida Olden. And the only way to defeat them is using light."]

"Light, huh? That's easy then."

Ars took out a hundred of Sinaga Sword. Burning all the hundred with [Fire Arts], then launching all of it to Mountain Snail. 

The Hundred of Sinaga Sword exploded the shell of Mountain Snail. But at the time, that attack only means to beat the Darkness Walet. 

However, the flames caused by Sinaga Sword's explosion were eroded by the Darkness Swallow.

"What? Hey, you said they could be defeated by light, but how come they can put out my fire?"

"[You need a constant light. Like the sun. In the past, the only person who can beat them is the Staff Saint, using Light Arts]"

Hearing the late explanation, Ars was annoyed.

"Tch. Why didn't you say that earlier?"

It seemed that Ars understood the Hunter League's feelings for their annoyance to Hera.

"So, do we have other person who can use [Light Arts]?"

Light Arts is the hardest Art of all Arts. Its position was above the Divine Arts.

However, it was not like a unique Arts like Ars' Dragon Arts. 

While still teaching at Saint Arcane Academy, he knew that there were some people who could master Light Arts.

However, their number was very few. The most famous of them all was the Staff Saint.

Maybe Maria could use the Arts. If Hilda says Maria could help, then he will teleport to Church of Longing to bring the woman to be his light.

["There is one in the Hall here. But, we don't need her because you already have Huxian."]

Ars immediately looked at Huxian, who had been hugging him around his waist.

The pervert Fox Goddess acted very relaxed when in front of them there was a huge monster.

"Unya~?"

Ars lifts the pervert Fox Goddess like a little cat. 

"What it is, Ars? Do you want to play something in this midair? Oh, no, Ars! What if our action will be shown by people?!"

There were actually three of them. Huxian doesn't think of Alexander as a person.

From the three of them, the Sins, Huxian is the only one who lives up to her name, Lust. Meanwhile, Ars was not that Greedy now. Alexander also not that envy of people since he is already overpowered by his power. 

"I want to be my light."

"Your light! Does that mean?!"

Huxian wouldn't understand anything, even if a lengthy explanation was given to her.

That's why Ars will only order her to do what she has to do.

"Ars?"

"You will be the light, illuminating this Floor."

Ars put his right thumb inside Huxian's mouth. Of course, the pervert fox goddess receive it with huge love. 

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Then Ars poured an immense amount of mana to Huxian. 

Alex takes a few steps back because fear of that amount of mana. 

All of that mana was originally Huxian's. 

On Huxian's case, the reason of why she has the curse of whoever sees her appearance, hear her voices, or even just smell her scent, they will immediately bow like love slaves to Huxian forever. 

That is because Huxian has a really strong mana which she can't control. 

If likened, Ars mana is like a large, calm lake. Whereas Huxian mana was like a boundless sea.

Because of that, Ars absorbed Huxian's mana, of course, by using [Unlimited Inventory Ultimate III]. [Skill: Mana Inventory].

The skill allowed Ars to store the amount of mana he desires. That skill also helped him fight Yamato at that time.

"What the hell? She changes to a fox?"

Alexander did not believe that Huxian could turn into an animal form. Of course, the animal form of the fox goddess.

"Hmph, of course. Because I am a fox goddess. Not like you who don't have an original form and can only imitate."

Huxian arrogantly looking down at Alexander.

Despite his annoyance, Alexander could not reply to the taunts.

"Now, go! Become the light of this Floor!"

"YES!"

At Ars' command, Huxian dashed through the air, heading towards the sky above.

With the form of her Fox Goddess, Huxian is like the seven wonders that happened in Abyssal Terra.

When viewed from afar, Huxian's figure is like the light of a comet pointing towards the sky.

Having reached a sufficient height, she stopped, and did as she was told.

"[Fox Goddess Wonder: Second Star]!"

A new star appeared and illuminated the Middle Region.
