Chapter 2792 Second Macabre Horde
When he got close to Abby, Minos didn''t immediately go up to her and give her a hug. He looked at the guardians on her sides, creatures of levelspatible with hers, but some undead of much higher levels than you would normally see in a master''s summonings.
Abby approached her three partners with a smile on her face, hugging Minos after confirming that it was really him and not a Qhava minion.
"It''s good to see you again," she said into one of Minos'' ears, hugging his spirit body, but strangely smelling her man''s characteristic scent.
Minos smiled back at Abby, finally more relieved now that he was by her side and could protect her.
As he thought about it, heughed to himself, wondering who could protect whom in the current situation.
"You''ve got quite an army, Abby." Gloria looked at the undead in the surrounding area.
Some of the living dead were merely skeletons. Others were halfposed bodies and there were those who looked like corpses that had just left their coffins. There were those dressed in ancient armor and uniforms, while others were naked, showing their cursed bodies. Some of them burned and others with rocky aspects typical of thosemonly seen in Hell.
Most of the undead had white eyes, but some of them, particrly the stronger ones, hadpletely ck eyes and their gaze seemed to see through souls.
Abby looked at Gloria andughed. "I was lucky... Or unlucky, depending on your perspective. Anyway, making a long story short, I found an opportunity as soon as I arrived in Hell. I came into the inheritance of a Devil who had attempted a level advancement, but failed.
Technically, he still held his territories and seemed to be alive, having failed while inside a sub-dimension of Hell. But he had actually died a long time ago, and I merely had to win recognition for his crown.
After that I became a Devil, even though I didn''t have the necessary cultivation."
"So that''s it," Minos muttered as he understood how Abby had achieved so much.
"But despite the good chances I got because of that, I''ve been chased by tricky guys ever since." Sheughed bitterly. "I also didn''t get the advancement bonus that one gets when conquering new territories in Hell. I technically didn''t conquer their territories by getting his crown. All my advancements came from expanding what that devil left for me."
Abby''s three family members felt her words clearing up several of their doubts at once.
"That was tremendously unlucky." Ruthmented as she considered what she had learned alongside Minos and Gloria. "With so many domains in your powers, you probably would have be a True Celestial by inheriting them."
"Don''t tell me about it." Abby sighed, before trying to change her expression. "Anyway, I survived a decade in Hell and now we''re united again."
She looked at Minos and asked, "I imagine we have ns to escape Hell, right?"
He looked at Abby''s undead, a scene simr to that of the Macabre Horde in Uzira. "Yes. Maybe we can speed things up a bit with your help... Technically, we''re enemies, so your domains won''t be able to help me. But if your men make a way for my group, we''ll be able to more easily increase our own domains and get the head start I need to outwit Qhava."
"Qhava? Is she the Devil above you?" Abby asked, recognizing the figure.
"Yes, did you receive the memories of your predecessor, by any chance?" Minos asked.
"Yes, did you receive the memories of your predecessor, by any chance?" Minos asked.
"Yes, that''s why I didn''t even have to study the contents avable in my domains, haha." The blue-haired woman smiled with joy.
Not everything had been perfect for her, but she really had had more blessings than curses. Because of all that she had achieved in her inheritance, she had reached the level necessary to strengthen herself while fending off the Devils seeking her head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Lucky you... I still need to study a lot of Hell." He sighed before turning to their major subject. "But about Qhava, we have to help her expand her domains, otherwise the three of us won''t be able to escape her pursuit. Apart from that, we need you to clear the way for us."
"I see. Do you think her minions won''t be able to catch up with you?"
"Even if they do, I''ll deal with them," Minos answered her.
"Hmm, I can create a sub-dimension through which we can escape. But all our Hell powers will be weaker. It''s also possible that we''ll be hunted down by subordinates or even the True Celestials themselves. Devils are staunch enemies of Entitled Deities. Surely some of them will hunt us down when they smell Hell on our souls."
"I know, but we have no choice. We can strengthen ourselves in Zocarro in a less dangerous way than in Hell." Minos sighed in recognition of the risks.
Since the Devils were interested in Abby, it was better that they didn''t risk staying there just because of the possibility of rapidly advancing their cultivation in this dimension!
Abby added, "We can do it the way you nned. But we''ll have to go back to Hell from time to time. My crown won''t harm me so much in this, but yours will start to repress you after a few decades away from here."
They didn''t know that, but Minos epted the idea of having to return after decades. It wasn''t ideal, but since they had no choice, they could only ept it.
They quickly discussed some details about the sub-dimension, a space connected to Hell and to a universe, simr to that of Qhava, the Mirror Dimension, which they had entered previously.
Apart from that, they no longer had to collect ck liquid, since their crowns were enough for them to revive the undead on their own. This also meant that Abby''s sub-dimension wouldn''t need to be connected to where they had left from before and could connect to any part of the universe she had been to before.
Even though she was only at level 120, her crown allowed her several things that others could only achieve at higher levels!
In the end, after Ruth joked about the simrity of Abby''s army to the Macabre Horde and Abby talked about how that group had been originated by a Devil who had hidden in Uzira in the past, they agreed on the most immediate steps of their ns.
The group began marching towards yet another enemy territory, turning their attention to hunting new demons for Ruth, Gloria, and Minos!
