The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 761: Chapter 782: Demon’s Domain Heavenly Machine

“Alright, we have entered,” Tanya reined in the black mare she had summoned earlier, “Before we continue onward, there are some things that must be done…”

“We’ve arrived?” Bruto, sitting behind Lancelot’s hindquarters, twisted his head to look at the tall wall-like mist behind, “I was wondering why the mist was so strange just now… hey, you came in too?”

“Do you think I would miss out on such a thrilling adventure?” A smile appeared on the Half-elf’s face for the first time since they had arrived in the Fallen Shadow Netherworld, “More importantly, if I hadn’t followed you in here, when the summoning time ran out, I’d be transported back to the place I was before, by then the mercenary legion would have certainly moved on, and traveling alone through the wilderness of the Abyss doesn’t sound very enticing… You summoned me here; don’t you think you’re responsible for me until the end?”

“Don’t be modest; traveling alone in the Abyss would be terrible, but I’m quite sure you could handle it,” Lancelot looked at the Half-elf earnestly, “Thank you, Tanya, you are a precious friend and companion.”

“Captain, don’t say that, it’s making me quite embarrassed,” the Half-elf’s grin brightened once more, “And besides, venturing with you indeed brings rich rewards—not in material terms, although those are great too… The great battle before Volcano Fortress, our experiences in Elgrand, and the final fight with the Barlow Flame Demon, all of it was epic. The emotions, memories, and even some trivial souvenirs, like a piece of Obsidian shard I got from the shore of Volcano Lake, have greatly pleased my mentor, and in turn, she has blessed me with new knowledge, strength, and magic. I’m a lot stronger now than before, just wait till there’s a fight, and I’ll show you all what I’ve got!”
