The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich-Chapter 813 - Bottom of the Chaos Abyss

Chapter 813: Bottom of the Chaos Abyss

The succubus before me walked very slowly. Judging from how her body constantly trembled, she had been really scared by me. She also kept sneaking glances back at me as if she had already noticed my dissatisfaction.

“It seems that it’s true how succubi have the talent to naturally understand others’ intentions as good or evil?”

The succubus Tina kept trembling in fear. She would instantly start shaking all over whenever I as much as looked in her direction. It felt like she would try and escape at any moment, but also that she didn’t dare to run.

Tina wasn’t wrong at all to be afraid of my intentions. The extreme situation the world was in called for extreme measures. It would be foolish to even think about talking with demons about human rights. From the very start, various “ideas” had been flashing through my mind.

I really wanted to use the most direct method of finding a dark corner and using soul-searching magic to immediately obtain all of the succubus Tina’s memories. That would be the fastest and most direct way, but we were on a main path, and far too much attention was on us.

This was likely the enemy’s main base. If I was exposed here… Well, it would be better to use a gentler and more indirect method.

I had far too little information. The more I said, the more likely I would be to make a mistake. It would be best to obtain as much information as I could.

“Report to me on the latest progress.”

This sounded simple, but was actually the most appropriate sentence for the current scenario. A boss wouldn’t need to explain anything when asking for a subordinate to report on the progress of work.

However, it all ended up being useless.

“We really aren’t slacking off, we haven’t slacked off at all! The recent progress… progress, two Berserker Demons just joined my small team, they’re really strong, and work really hard, but they’re a little stinky, so could we please send them somewhere else…”

Tina kept stuttering as she said various useless things. She seemed to notice that I was becoming more dissatisfied as she talked, so her voice got smaller and smaller.

This wasn’t because she had noticed anything or was trying to conceal information. It was simply that she knew far too little due to her insufficient rank.

A small team leader would have to do anything that her bosses requested of her. She would only know a little. The overly minor details would be meaningless to me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as Tina kept reporting to me on how poor her team’s food was and how idiotic her teammates were.

I patiently listened to her for quite a while. All I learned was that they were building something.

‘Where is this place? Just what are all of you so busy working on?’

I really wanted to ask that out loud, but I could sense that there was much attention upon us. If I really asked that out loud, then I would likely have to fight my way out of here.

I did my best to remain patient as I continued listening to Tina’s “report”. However, she was already beginning to cry a little, probably because my expression was becoming ever darker. But I still didn’t tell her to stop, which meant that she kept trying her best to tell me more.

“…I was previously a barmaid in the Capital of Rage, the 162th level of the Chaos Abyss, but I never expected that I would one day be here at the original source of all demons…”

My eyes lit up as I finally heard something highly useful.

‘The original source of all demons? So I’m currently in the Chaos Abyss?’

I checked my memories and found only one possible location that fitted this description.

I was at the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss, where Cynthia’s physical body was in hibernation!

We then turned a corner. I instantly understood when I saw the gigantic construct before me.

This was a pitch-black wall that was so tall and wide that the top and edges couldn’t be seen.

Countless demons were busy at work under this wall, seemingly constructing something.

The door in the middle of the wall was gradually opening. I also saw to my “surprise and delight” that a few old acquaintances were here, looking at the wall.

The succubus Didina, who was also previously the Gold Elf Emperor Abolar and Harloys’ father in her past life, was issuing commands to the busy demon laborers at the wall. Meanwhile, Ilmisya, the former Lord of Temptation of the devils, was resting on the sidelines.

I wouldn’t be so surprised if it was only them, but I also saw another old acquaintance—Leona who had been missing for quite a while.

Currently, Leona the Chaos Girl didn’t seem like she was in a pleasant situation. She was chained to the pitch-black wall while a powerful demon carved magical runes next to her body. The strange posture she was tied in made her seem like a living sacrifice.

Leona should have only been a few months pregnant, but currently her belly was bulging to the point where it seemed like she might give birth at any moment.

It seemed that Leona sensed me as she looked over in my direction and opened her mouth slightly, yet she was unable to say anything.

I had no time to respond regardless, as the moment that I discovered the plot here, the plot’s schemers naturally noticed me as well.

“Capture him! That’s Roland! He’s not Master!”

I didn’t know which demon first shouted that out loud, but Didina and Ilmisya instantly looked in my direction with surprise and even more unconcealed killing intent. I then knew that it would be impossible for any type of verbal communication to work here.

“Y-y-you’re not His Majesty Karwenz! There’s an intruder! Guards!”

Tina, who had brought me all the way here, finally realized what was going on as she summoned the demon guards, while I became even more amused by all this.

“I never said that I was Karwenz. I’m Karwenz’s older brother, yep, which means I’m not an outsider. Right, thank you for showing me the way.”

Tina paused in surprise. “No need for thanks,” she even replied in a rather foolish manner. I smiled and shook my head after seeing how silly and cute she was. Such a silly succubus was quite rare to see, which made me even want to spare her life.

“Tina! How dare you betray me! You dared to bring Roland here!”

But currently, Didina had likely lost her sense of reason already as she was shouting hysterically from the black wall.

The unfortunate Tina saw her boss’s boss’s boss with such an expression of hysterical rage, so Tina instantly made an expression of despair as if the world was ending.

The little succubus in front of me looked at me quite pitifully, wanting to hate me but not daring to, which only made me even more amused. What type of succubus was this? She really didn’t seem like a proper succubus at all.

I still wanted to chat a little, yet the demons had already surrounded me. I would doubtlessly have to fight and kill my way out.

I would have to fight Didina, a top-level succubus, and Ilmisya, a Devil Lord? And maybe a few dozen Demon Lords? Several thousand mid and high-level demons? That was nothing.

It seemed that there really was something highly important here, which instantly improved my mood vastly.

“I’m thankful to Creator Goddess Eich. It seems that we really were able to overtake Karwenz here. Now then, let me see just what else Karwenz is hiding.”
