Chapter 271: An Interesting Discovery

-----

After the great fight, Chaos and his companions rushed forward through the bloodstream, reaching farther and farther through it.

Chaos expanded his senses as he began to follow the route that he detected could lead to a pore outside!

However, something else greeted their sight as they reached the end of a bloodstream, which led to a large waterfall of blood, there was a massive open area…

And a temple that seemed intact.

Chaos looked down at it as he suddenly sensed a massive amount of darkness and void auras coming from it!

"T-This is… That temple has… Fragments of the Forbidden One?!" he thought.

But why?

Why would there be a temple with fragments of the Forbidden One inside of the frog? And for what purpose?

The worst part was that this wasn't even the Stomach for it to make some more sense, this was a completely different area of the stomach that he found! There were such things inside, and it made him rather shocked.

"This is interesting… Well, let's get to there." He thought.

As Chaos and company flew down, Abyss and her party were within the Tribe of the Saphibians, having a conversation with Nesephise.

"If you want to learn more… maybe you could talk with the Elder! The Elder is the one that knows the most in this place, although don't think that he is the chief, the chief is another guy I just rescued before." Said Nesephise.

"I see… So maybe that old frog could know something." said Ifrit while rubbing his chin.

"I-I would prefer if you treated him a bit better…" sighed Nesephise.

"Why are you calling him old frog, stupid?!" asked Lilith, slapping Ifrit's head.

"Ouch! Was that even necessary? You monster woman…" sighed Ifrit.

"Monster woman? I am a delicate flower!" said Lilith, slapping Ifrit's head again.

"I swear to god stop hitting me!" said Ifrit.

"Why are you swearing to god?! You're a demon!" said Erebus.

"Oh right, I guess you're completely right in that regard." Said Ifrit.

"Oh well, I had thought he would turn into ashes or die if he said the name of god, but he seems okay." Said Boxxy.

"That's some dumb superstition, the name of god doesn't affect us, but holy light magic can burn us." Said Ifrit.

"Okay, let's calm down for now and let's assess things properly. Now, Abyss, where should we go now?" asked Belphegor, as he tried to make it obvious that Abyss was the one in charge of this entire operation.

Although he could hold a greater authority over the people, Abyss was like their queen as the one in a romantic relationship with Chaos. Because of this, she had to quickly learn how to order her people, command them, and take important decisions.

Of course, this also meant a lot of stress for her, concerns, and even forcing her to become different than her lax personality usually is… however, Abyss had already assumed such a paper, and was now trying her best to command her beloved Chaos' people into the direction where they needed to go, find a way to free him.

"We'll go meet the Elder after we eat dinner with everyone then, Nesephise, can you come with us?" asked Abyss.

"Oh, of course, I was planning to accompany you, Abyss." Said Nesephise with a gentle smile.

"Thank you…" sighed Abyss. She had begun to quickly lose most hopes, she hoped that there could be some way to resolve this problem soon, thinking about her lord and what he might be going through made her nervous.

However, there was another whole problem that had to be assessed too, the massive egg with the tadpole on it.

"And this egg…?" asked Yuki.

"The egg, this is the child of the Giant Frog that devoured papa…" sighed Erebus.

"Maybe we should eat it as a fried egg to punish that Giant Frog!" said Boxxy.

"What are you talking about, dumb Mimic?" sighed Yuki.

"I-It was a joke! Agh, don't get angry, Yuki-chan…" sighed Boxxy, trying to supplicate Yuki to not get angry at her.

"Hmph, if you don't want me to get angry, then quickly get your shit together. Now, let's see what we can do… How about we bring it back? Maybe if we bring it back, we can make the frog bring back Chaos and Aruliel!" said Yuki.

"Certainly, that's a possibility…" said Erebus.

"Eh? But can the frog even know our language? Maybe it will think we just freshly stole it, and it will charge at us with all her might…" sighed Ifrit.

"That's… also a possibility." Sighed Erebus.

"We might have to use another method… Ugh, I wish that frog could listen to normal words." Sighed Lilith.

Abyss began to think deeply about this, as she considered her options… Perhaps there could be a way to use the egg of the Giant Frog as a bargaining chip to bring back her lover! However, how? There needed to be a specific plan, a way of doing it that would bring such an outcome, the egg was here, but how can she do it?

"Ungh… I am so tired." She sighed, she couldn't properly think very well.

"How about you rest for now, Abyss? I am sure Chaos-sama would be worried about your health." Sighed Belphegor.

"M-Maybe… but knowing my dear is inside that frog, I cannot really sleep. I must do something to aid him." sighed Abyss.

"Sigh… I guess I am the same, I cannot really rest." Sighed Belphegor.

"Alright! We are done, let's go to the Elder right away, I've begun to feel bad for your friends…" sighed Nesephise.

She had unexpectedly finished eating very quick.

"Can you kids take care by yourselves for a bit? I'll be back in a few minutes!" said Nesephise.

"Sure!"

"Okay!"

"Good luck!"

The kids were very organized, they began to quickly move all the nasty plates to the kitchen, washing them with the clean water.

"Your kids are very organized." Said Abyss.

"Hehe, of course, they had learned to become a big family that takes care of each other!" said Nesephise.

The group quickly made their way towards the Elder's House…
