Chapter 1158 Reaching The Hundredth Layer Of The Abyss

"I think he let us go on purpose," James muttered as they traveled through the 41st Layer of the Abyss. "It seems that not all the Abyssal Lords are loyal to this Daniel fellow."

Lux nodded his head in agreement. When the Half-Elf saw the mischievous smile on the Black Wolf's face, he knew that Marchosias had already seen through their disguise.

Because of that, he had prepared to summon his Undead Army and attack, not letting a single witness escape. However, Marchosias decided to let them go as if nothing had happened.

"Do you think he will rat us out later?" Lux inquired.

"The possibility exists," James replied. "But, I am more inclined to think that he will not do such a thing. It's still a fifty-fifty chance though. What do you think, should we go back and eliminate him just in case?"

Lux pondered for a bit before shaking his head. He liked to believe that not all the Abyssal Lords, as well as the Abyssal Creatures were the bloodthirsty kind. Although he had to admit that Queen Rhiannon and him didn't have a good start, they were able to move on from that incident, and stand together as allies.

He didn't know if there were any Pacifists among the Abyssal Lords, but he sure hoped that he wouldn't have to fight every Abyssal Creature that blocked his path to find his lover, Aurora.

Traveling through the different layers was easy. It was dealing with Daniel's subordinates that was hard because they needed to kill them quickly, and ensure that they weren't able to pass word to their Master about what was happening.

Fortunately, they were able to do this without fail, allowing them to continue their journey.

Several hours later, the two finally arrived at the 60th Floor, and decided to take a short rest before they continued their journey.

The number of Abyssal Creatures that were wandering the Abyssal Layers were increasing the deeper they traveled into the Abyss.

Lux knew that it was only a matter of time before they would have to force their way through the portal that would lead them to the One Hundredth Floor, where the Abyssal Nobles resided.

They were the Demigods who decided to rule the Layer they were currently on together. This served as a deterrence, as well as a show of unity on the surface, preventing other Abyssal Lords from getting the wrong idea about them.

Layer by painful Layer, Lux, James, and Sleipnir traveled without fail.

Lux believed that unless someone knew where James was and used all of their senses to focus in that location, no one would be able to notice anything.

A few seconds later, James reappeared and looked at the Half-Elf with a smug expression on his face.

"What do you think?" James asked. "I got this Invisibility Blanket from a Hag, who has many Warts. "Although she asked for a steep price, I decided to steal—err buy it from her without even asking for a discount."

"How about Sleipnir?" Lux asked. "WIll you be able to cover him with a blanket as well?"

"You don't have to worry about him," James replied. Sleipnir neighed and walked towards James. The horse' body slowly shrank until he was only a foot-tall horse.

James calmly picked Sleipnir up as if he was a cat, and nestled him in his arms.

"Unfortunately, the blanket might not be enough to cover us both," James stated. "Do you have a way to enter the portal undetected?"

Lux nodded. "Come, Draven."

His fateful Shadow Sovereign extended his shadow, allowing Lux to merge with it. The moment his master was safely inside his shadow, Draven merged with James' shadow, making the old man smirk.

"You have a lot of tricks under your sleeves, Lux," James commented before covering his entire body with the blanket. "Now, off we go."

The Old Man slowly walked towards the gates of the city, hiding in plain sight.

Although there were Guards, who had a strong sense of smell, all of them thought that they were just imagining things when they caught the scent of an Old Scammer in their midsts.

Although it took James an hour to reach their destination, he was able to sneak into the portal, leaving the Hundredth Floor behind.

Now that they were only a few Layers away from the 111th Floor where the Nests of Abyssal Monsters were located, they hoped that the person they were looking for was there.

If possible, they would like to avoid the need to go all the way to the 222nd Layer, where the second nest of Abyssal Creatures was located.
