To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 49: Great Influence

"You already free your disciple?" asked Jeff to Hwang.

That morning, Hwang visited Jeff at his house. By giving the news that Hwang has free Ars from his teaching.

"Yup," said Hwang with satisfaction. "That guy even exceeded my expectations."

"Hah! In the future, he will definitely become like that insolent Six Emperor!"

Hwang chuckled at Jeff's statement. "I can't say your estimation is wrong. But I have a feeling, that he will free us from this prison."

Jeff's forehead frowned. "You sure? Is he really that strong?"

"I can't say that he is on the same level as the Six Emperors. Because to be strong, just training is not enough. He still needs a lot of experience. Though I'm sure, his path to become strong may be easier than we experienced. Plus, his arrival after 10 years gives him extensive access to our Abyssal knowledge - " the Legends Hunter.

"But I really won't match with his insolent attitude!"

They haven't spoken like that in a long time.

"If not because of him, maybe we wouldn't be able to talk like this."

"Well, it can't be helped! The Saint Staff's death made our party unbalance, and in the end, everyone follow their own path!"

Instantly they remembered a time when they were in their heyday.

Several large leaves fell as they were both pensive.

Jeff was about to draw out his sword.

But Hwang moved faster. He took the powder in his small bag, then spread the powder up. Instantly the leaves burned in the air until they were nothing.

"You still have that [Star Powder]?"

"Sword Saint's Influence allowed me to reproduce their numbers so I don't run out. Great, right!"

"Damn followers!"

Talking about Sword Saint, Jeff remembered something.

"I don't feel that damn Sword Saint's existence in this forest anymore! Where the hell did he go?!"

"I have no idea. No one knows what he thinks. Since the Saint Staff's death, no one has been able to control him anymore. He even foolishly said he would give his power to anyone who wants it."

"Damn, if he just told me, I would have finished him off right away and took his power!"

"On the record, if you can replace him."

The message reminded Jeff of a certain cheeky boy

"Is that the reason why that brat can have the Sword of Testament?"

"Maybe. But, if he has acquired that power, he will definitely be wielding the original Sword of Testament, not a copy of a copy."

"Well, that's true."

The real [Sword of Testament] had great power. The legendary sword that had the greatest influence in clearing the path to the west, and in clearing the territory of the 2nd Floor.

Jeff sighed, not wanting to bother with his head. "I don't the fck care either, tho! And, Hwang, why don't you tell that brat so he can control his hunting desires?! He could have triggered the Big Update of this 1st Floor, which hasn't happened for a long time!"

Hwang smiled wryly. "Are you afraid?"

"You wot m8?! I can still take out two or three Killer Bees at once. And I only need 10 minutes to beat Father Tree!"

"But Ars can one-shot Father Tree."

"Nonsense!"

To their ears, the atmosphere suddenly became bustling.

"Who the hell stupid enough to summon Killer Bee in this season?"

"You already know the answer."

Deep in the depths of the forest, a party of 7 members was fighting Killer Bee, with increasing difficulty due to the autumn that swallows the land.

"Idiot."

Jeff and Hwang know the party very well. The party they trained directly to get strong over the past few months.

"I won't fking care if something big actually happens to this forest, tho."

"What if that 'something big' threatens this Sites of Memorial?"

"I'll take care of that myself!"

"Very well, I'll tell the juniors to bring the matter over here so you can fix it."

"Fck you!"

Autumn will end. That means the Abyssal year will change. Every year, there will be changes, whether big or small. This change called the Abyssal Update.
