To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 163: A talk about contract

"We are free!"

Rob is happy that Ars is holding Jade down. So that there is no one left to chase them.

"I think we are not."

But Jared witnessing something is catching up with them from behind.

A jet, but not shaped like a vehicle.

"What?!"

Rob immediately looked back and found someone in jet armor flying over at high speed. That someone is the red-haired man.

That gave Rob a terror.

"What and who is that?" asked Jared.

"That is the Black Sky Spine and its holder!"

Rob once again went into fear and panic mode.

Arlene turns her jet motorbike into jet armor. The armor covering her entire body except for the head. Flying armor with jet propulsion on the back.

"That is Abyssal Armor Mech 2 that I developed and disappeared three years ago! It turned out that they stole it and modified the armor by fusing it with the Black Sky Spine! F*ck them!"

The Black Sky Spine was nowhere to be seen. But on the right back of Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod, there is a cannon in the shape of a dragon's head. That is the cannon capable of shooting black lasers from the Black Sky Spine power.

Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod looks so intimidating with its speed and its user killer gaze.

They couldn't escape without doing something.

Jared can't do anything in his current state. Blowing the horn to summon troops would be useless and can't even slow down the red-haired Bounty Hunter.

Jared is ready to jump off the jet.

"Jred!"

But Rob called him and gave something; an injection.

"That is a serum I extracted from the Subject of the Pure Birth Demon's blood! It will give a power boost to the Devil Seed in your body! But it's only temporary, and as a side effect you won't be able to move for a while after—"

"Yeah-yeah, I know! It's a cliché plot. You don't have to talk much to explain that in this situation."

Jared without hesitation immediately injected the injection into his body. The next moment, his body shook violently.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previously, it took Arlene a long time to set up the Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod. Because of that, she was invisible for a while before.

At the time, the target was in sight. Just a little more. She can reach the target and get what she wishes.

But suddenly, something very fast shot towards him from the front. Forced her to be in defense mode and being pushed back.

Arlene opened her eyes, looked ahead, found that there is a winged demon who would be her opponent.

"You can't go past beyond this."

The Demon - the body of the Black Hunter in front had completely turned into a demon. But Arlene didn't feel a strong threat like from a Demon King Commander.

Plus, even though he had transform a demon-itation, Arlene seemed to be able to recognize the man in front of her.

"Are you perhaps, Jared?"

At Arlene's question, Jared looked up at his body.

"You, can still recognize me even though I've become a demon like this?!"

"Yep. I thought you were a big threat that could slow me down. But it seemed I got too worried. Plus, that transform looks ugly."

Arlene makes fun of his pride demon body.

"You, pay those words with your blood!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ruins of Ancient Cognity /

After flying for a while, Rob finally arrived at the ruins.

"Great! After passing this place, everything will be easy!"

The reason why he couldn't do stealth mode in the northeast region is because going into stealth mode required an area filled with light.

Yes, the time is daytime. But in the northeast region, either day or night, the sky will remain dark. The reason about the phenomenon is still unknown.

In the past, the Abyssal Researcher, the Staff Saint, for some reason didn't want to enter the region. He just said one thing: 'The place is inappropriate.'

But the Spear Saint still set foot in the region. Not to research, but to conquer. The boundary of the northeast region is also still unknown.

The northeast region is a region that is still full of mystery. Yet, no one wanted to take the risk of going deeper, past the Shadow Cyber City, to replace the end.

Return to the main character of the chapter.

Since no one was chasing him, Rob took a leisurely flight.

Casually passing through all the ruins' monster.

"Hey, Android-12uiu4iu5! Don't try to chase me, Flies-Ghjj234h1h!"

Jared plans to keep that speed out of the northeast region. But the noise of sharp objects clashing each other startled him.

"What the-?!"

The sound of the battle came from above his head. A battle between a demon - Jared, and Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod – red-haired Bounty Hunter.

In the sky, Jared fighting with his long, strong nails. Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod uses a sword fused in its two hands.

They clashing their swords without being able to injure one another. They are balanced.

"I thought you were a sniper!"

Arlene had attacked them with the Black Sky Spine's laser cannon several times before. So Jared was quite amazed by Arlene's close combat skills.

"How about you?" asked Arlene back. "Aren't you supposed to be a caster?"

Jared was. But after losing his main Devil Seed, which was stolen by Ars, he lost his power to become a Caster.

"But now I have a replacement that is stronger than before!"

Jared stepped back a little away from Arlene. Then he opened his mouth wide, gathered dark mana and condensed into one.

"[Dark Rising: Vicious Killer]!"

Jared fired the dark mana ball at Arlene at high speed.

However, a few seconds before Jared did so, Arlene had already fired the laser of the Black Sky Spine first. Which hit right in the middle of the dark mana ball, and for some reason, the Black Sky Spine laser absorbed the dark mana ball, sending it back along towards Jared.

Jared got shot and fell.

Rob got goosebumps seeing the sight.

Next, Arlene will chase him with no other obstacle.

"Stop chasing me!"

Rob stepped on the gas jet until it ran aground. The jet was shooting at 80 mph. The highest speed that can be performed.

Even so, the red-haired Bounty Hunter is still able to catch up. Most likely, the Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod's speed is around 90 or 100 mph.

In just a few seconds, Rob will get caught.

"Noooooooooooo!"

Rob didn't want to give up. He continued to hit the gas, even though the chances of him escaping were slim. What could help him at that time is only a miracle.

The miracle came just when Rob needed it.

A dark mana ball hit Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod. Make it unbalanced and reduce its speed.

"Hahaha! Take that shit!"

Delighted, Rob released the gas and lowered the jet's speed. It was a mistake he shouldn't have done.

Arlene took advantage of that moment to unleash all the remaining strength of Abyssal Armor Mech 2-Mod jet power and reach for Rob's jet plane.

"What are you-?!"

Arlene brings Rob's jet crashed with her.

_____________

"What are you-?!"

Ars grabbed Elisa's collar, pulled the girl from her grip to Ars like a naughty cat.

"What are you even thinking?!"

Ars is angry at her. But Elisa didn't care.

Elisa looked at Jade and shouted: "Go on, Lady Jade! I will hold Ars!"

Hwang, who heard that, wondered. "What is the girl thinking? Seonbae, should we get back and get her?"

At Hwang's question, Jade looked forward at the approaching Ruins of Ancient Cognity.

"No, we will entrust the girl to hold Ars. Now we focus on the front."

Hwang is curious about Jade's sudden coldness. But refused to ask, because he and his colleagues fully trusted the leader's decision.

Behind, Ars had to stop because of Elisa.

Ars still held up Elisa like a bad cat, and he carelessly directed her into the air, had the intention to drop the girl down.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I am sorry for doing that! It's scary!"

"What are you even thinking rocketing like that?"

Ars was not angry at Elisa's existence, he is angry at the danger Elisa had just done.

"Please! Please! Listen to him, first!"

"Us?"

At that time, a man came to Ars.

"Please don't be angry at the girl, Ars. I was the one who threw her earlier."

A white-haired old man. Magically levitating by riding two dragons - two dragon spears - which are held in both hands. A red and blue dragon.

"No! No! It was my idea! So you can be mad at me. But we can save it for later, okay?"

That's a not bad deal.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!"

But Ars still dropped Elisa down.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...eh?"

Elisa did not fall to the ground, she was lowered and was riding on Ars's jet skateboard.

"Hufff!"

"Talk, old man."

Ars allowed him to speak. Because of that, Roger would speak, wisely.

"First, nice to meet you. My name is Roger. I heard from Elisa girl, I can make a contract with you."
