Chapter 773 Interlude: Asteria“s Typical Day as a Student Part 17

Although Asteria and her cronies were doing their best to acclimate with their foreign surroundings, they are still highly p.r.o.ne to danger.

The whole Abyss was just filled with too much danger, that even the most careful creatures had a low chance of surviving.

Speaking of danger…

[Abyss]: Hohoho, so this is the batch of Guides that the Endless Monarch hired for his task? They all look decent to me, although they are still too weak to make any differences out there.

[Chaos]: You are one to talk, Abyss. Why criticize the strength of these kids? They are still young, so their chances of disrupting the Multiverse is still low.

[Chaos]: Give them some time to grow, and I am sure they will turn out fine.

[Abyss]: Heh, you want me to wait for them to grow? You know that I could not do that, not with the plans that I am making….

[Chaos]: I give no care about your plans, Abyss. But don't expect that I will allow you to hurt these kids. The Endless Monarch asked me to take care of them for now, so they are under my protection. Try to hurt them, and I will make you feel real pain.

[Abyss]: Hey hey hey! Can you please lay off your threats? I'm just watching these kids for my own sake! If I want to hurt them, I would have done it earlier!

[Chaos]: It's good to know that you are not that foolish yet, Abyss. But remember. I am watching you now, so don't make any false moves.

[Abyss]: …..

There appears to be two dangerous ent.i.ties that are interested on the group right now, and each one treated Asteria's group with undisguisable hostility and wariness.

Most of the hostility however was displayed by the ent.i.ty named Abyss, while the wariness mostly came from Chaos.

[Abyss]: So the Endless Monarch asked you to take care of these kids? What a load of bull. Do you seriously think that I will believe that? There is no way that the Endless Monarch will be that caring of his… slaves.

[Chaos]: You can choose to not believe me Abyss, since I am someone who can twist the truth to my advantage. But do you think that I will dare use the Endless Monarch's name to lie to you? Even I am not that stupid, so just believe me.

[Abyss]: …I can't believe that I find myself agreeing with you.

[Chaos]: I don't like the feeling of you agreeing with me, but since it was the Endless Monarch that we are talking about, I guess we can have the same opinion about him.

[Abyss]: Same opinion? Hmph, I doubt that there is anyone in the Multiverse that thinks of the Endless Monarch in a different way! Everyone knows how shameless the Endless Monarch was, and even I have to tip my hat to him!

[Abyss]: Oh, and the Endless Monarch is also the most cunning trickster out there, and I know that he had tricked many of their valuables. So yeah, I don't think there will be a differing opinion about that b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

[Chaos]: ....You call him a b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Yes, that man really is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and I feel that he will continue to be that way in the future…

The reason for why the Abyss and Chaos were treating Asteria's group this way was not that clear at all, although their talks about the Endless Monarch appeared to have a relation with it.

Oh, now that the author could see it, the Endless Monarch indeed has a relation to the hostile att.i.tude by Chaos and Abyss.

And when the author said hostile, he meant it in a literal way.

[Abyss]: Hah! The Endless Monarch was just a pilfering kid from before, someone who I can kill with my bare tentacles! But look at him now! Ever since he obtained that legacy, he became so irritating!

[Abyss]: Argh! If I could have just gone back in time, I would have done my best to kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

[Abyss]: Scratch that! I would kill his ancestors if that is what it will take to stop him from living!

[Chaos]: That measure is a bit extreme, but I like it. However, you know that you can't go back in time since you are… a you know, a landma.s.s.

[Abyss]: Shut up, Chaos! I don't care if I can't go back in time. I am just telling you how I want to have the Endless Monarch dead! And don't give me that look! I know how much you want to have the Endless Monarch dead too!

[Chaos]: I don't like your rowdy att.i.tude, but you are right. I also want to have that b.a.s.t.a.r.d killed, but you know that it is also impossible for me to achieve that.

[Abyss]: …

[Chaos]: If I were just in my peak state, I would have no problem dealing with the Endless Monarch. But now that I am in my advanced old age, I have no way to prevent that b.a.s.t.a.r.d from escaping.

[Chaos]: Of course if I use up all of my remaining lifespan, there is a high chance that I can kill him with the expense of my life. But you know that I won't do that.

[Abyss]: Drats. And here I thought I could have you and that b.a.s.t.a.r.d die together. I guess I just have to think of a different plan to kill you both.

[Chaos]: …I don't get your animosity against me, but I am still curious on why you want to have the Endless Monarch killed. Did he do something that was enough to damage or hurt you? Because you are the Abyss, and I don't believe that someone like the Endless Monarch is powerful enough to kill you.

[Abyss]: Argh! Just shut up there and let me think! Can't you see that I am busy observing these Guides that the Endless Monarch hired? I want to see if I can do something to them that could hurt that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, so don't disturb me!

[Abyss]: If you want answers, then just ask your d.a.m.ned questions once I am done!
