Chapter 183 Death Valley

Death Valley! Like all places in the abyss, its entirety was filled with different dangers and horrors

Characterised by giant red sand dunes, and heaps of skeletons as for as the eye could see, nothing seemed more befitting than the name 'Death Valley'

However, different from what most people might think it's named wasn't coined formed its appearance, rather it was what gave it such a look

And this was none other than a war

Yes a huge war that shook the whole abyss floor with death valley at its centre

A few thousand years ago, two abyss demon gods fought together causing one of them to shed a drop of blood

And that blood in all its crystalline glory landed in form of a ruby-red crystal in the centre of the 567th floor

And with its appearance, whether it was those before the floor, or above the floor all abyss demons under the demon god level present felt it

An unprecedented opportunity for them to evolve

Be it the lowest abyss demons, to the highest dukes and generals, as long as it could move within the abyss all of them rushed to the 567th floor

'If I devour this I can become a demon god!'

This was the singular thought in their minds as all of them rushed towards the blood drop

The war lasted thousands of years, blood filled the skies and screams filled the earth

Fights were going out all through the abyss as each floor had demons fighting for an evolution

However, even during all this, be it the abyss demon god who dropped the blood drop or the other abyss demon gods

None of them took any action to stop the war, rather each of them just stood aloof watching them scramble like stray cats and dogs for scraps.

Soon the time passed, and after about two thousand years, the war finally showed signs of reaching its peak

Akazack the lord of pain and brutality

Nezran the prince of shadows

And Zenon the balrog lord of fire

These three abyss princes the most powerful figures in the abyss directly under the abyss demon gods faced each other for the final battle

With a huge army with billions of demons behind them after making that all the opposition and small fries had been completely wiped out, had finished their preparations

It is said that the war between the three of them lasted for a thousand more years with even Nezran the prince of shadows falling in the process

That time it caused a huge shock throughout the whole abyss as abyss demons from the prince level above had been thought to be Immortal

Unfortunately, it seemed that wasn't the case

Soon time passed, and with the fall of Nezran the army behind him completely collapsed due to the tacit onslaught from both sides

Due to that, the three-way war had unknowingly turned into a two-way war with an even fiercer momentum

This momentum was even maintained during the final years of the battle

At that time, the billions of demon army had been reduced to thousands, and both Zenon and Akazack were left crippled by each other

With Akazack missing his right arm and left eye and Zenon missing his left arm and right wing

Unfortunately, neither side was willing to give in, after all, both of them had offered too much to back down now.

Unfortunately, what happened next was not within anyone's expectation

Over the course of the battle, Zenon had begun to get the upper hand with Akazack slowly falling back

It wasn't until Zenon was about to land his finishing move and become the victor that Akazack suddenly made a ruthless move

He blew himself up!

Yes he exploded, a prince level self explosion was something that had never been seen in both the main world of Elias and the abyss

After all, an abyss prince's power is only just below a demon god, one can imagine how powerful his self-explosion was

According to records, with himself as the centre the ten nearest layers and the ten lowest layers of the abyss to him instantly turned to dust under its pressure

And unfortunately, Zenon who was completely injured unfortunately could not block it resulting in him as well as the nearby demons being vaporised by the explosion

However, strangely enough the 567th floor where the main explosion happened was completely unaffected

Some believe it was because of the drop of blood with protected the plane, while others believe it was an abyss demon God who secretly shot protecting the floor

With time passed many rumours emerged unfortunately none could be confirmed.

And as if to make things worse, after the explosion a few daring abyss demons once again descended into the 567th floor, sadly the blood drop couldn't be found again

No matter how much they searched, even the abyss dukes under the price couldn't sense its existence much less other lesser demons

After searching several times and realising it was actually gone for real, the demons could only leave the place helplessly

However, in remembrance of the place where the blood drop fell, the was named death valley

Since with its appearance, a war once again leading to the deaths of billions was bound to happen again

...…

Reading through this memory, Elric had a smile on his face

Just now after regaining control of his body, this memory appeared in his mind,

Judging from what he just experienced now, Elric could ascertain this was a side effect of defeating the heart demon

It turns out that with its death, his existence as a whole was completely absorbed by him

And the heart demon who absorbed the negative emotions of those demons back then unknowingly absorbed some of their memory

And this Death Valley was one of the important places on this floor that Elric had gotten from it

Now looking at the sea of bones in front of him, Elric was sure of his thoughts

"This is definitely the right place!"
