BXBX NOVEL Chapter 139 Blood Monarch's Abyss
"Why does it feel like this magic labyrinth is a bit more dangerous?" Vernisia sighed as she and Zevien escaped from the chasers and came out of the jungle, only to stand at the edge of a cliff.
Zevien and Vernisia stood at the edge and turned around to face the jungle. Zevien had a burning boomerang in his hand that he was using as his weapon, and it was helping a lot.
*****
[Crimson Wind Boomerang]
->Tier-3 magic item.
->Type: Weapon
->Effects: Infusing mana in the boomerang covers it with fire and makes it more lethal. It can travel according to the user\'s strength and always return to the user in a curving route but can be blocked by objects.

*Rustle!*
"Hahaha, where will you run now?"
Six men came out from the forest holding swords and staffs, and all of them were near the peak of 4th class magicians, which means they possessed 4900-5000 magic power.
"You managed to escape from us because the jungle helped you. Now, what will you do? Jump off that cliff? Hahaha, go ahead!"
"You will pay the price for destroying Ufar\'s merchant house whether you stay here or try to fly away from that cliff," a middle-aged man with black combed hair spoke as he waved his hand and created a big magic wall behind them.
"Go on, fly off from that cliff," another man sneered.
Zevien and Vernisia looked at each other with a confused look because from what these men were saying, the cliff behind them was dangerous, even if they could fly.
Zevien turned his head behind to glance and noticed that he couldn\'t see the depth of the cliff; it was all dark. But he could see the ground a few hundred meters away from the cliff. So only the area between the cliff and the ground below seemed dangerous.
\'We should be able to pass it by flying, but even if we can\'t, I can use my Star Door relic to escape,\' Zevien thought as he grabbed Vernisia\'s hand.
Vernisia looked at Zevien after he grabbed her hand and saw him nodding before both of them jumped backward.
The six men quickly moved towards the cliff with gloating expressions as they wanted to see the cruel fate of Zevien and Vernisia as they fell because no one had ever survived falling off this cliff, even if they could fly.
"T-this…," Vernisia was shocked, and so was Zevien as they fell, not being able to fly despite Zevien trying his hardest to flap his vampire wings.
A powerful suction force was pulling them down, and it was increasing!
"Shit, shit, shit!" Zevien mumbled as he quickly took out his Star Door relic and used it.
*****
[Star Door]
-Type: Relic
-Maximum uses: 4
-1st Effect: After infusing 5000 mana in the relic, you can conjure two Star Doors anywhere around you within your sight and travel from one Star door to another.
-2nd Effect: You can infuse additional 5000 mana to conjure a Star Door in a place out of your sight, but you must imagine the location perfectly, and it should exist.
You can infuse 100 mana into the necklace and open a portal that will lead you to a dungeon. Completing the dungeon will give you rewards according to your performance. (One-time entry)
*****
Zevien quickly infused 5000 mana in the mini star door relic in his hand and conjured a Star Door five hundred meters below him before quickly looking to the side and conjuring a Star Door on the ground opposite of the cliff. But, a message appeared on his head that almost caused him to despair.
[You can\'t create Star Door outside Blood Monarch\'s Abyss field. But taking this into account, the 2nd Star Door will be conjured...at the very bottom of the Abyss.]
The Star Door below Zevien and Vernisia that was floating in the air suddenly opened, making Zevien sigh in relief as it would at least guarantee their survival.
"Look! A big door opened below them. What the...?" one man looking from the cliff spoke.
"We should have killed them!"
"Relax," the middle-aged man with combed black hair calmly said. "Nothing can exit this strange field once they jump off this cliff. Even if they arrived at the bottom safely, only despair awaits them."
"Chief, you seem to know about this place. Can you tell us more? We only know that nobody survives here and planned to get them here, so in case they escaped from us, only one path awaits them."
"I don\'t know the details, but I have heard about it from old records and stories," the chief said as he creased his eyebrows. "A horrifying entity has died at the bottom, and that being\'s power still haunts this place."
"A horrifying entity? Who?"
"Blood Monarch!"
…
Somewhere far deeper into the Inviolable Blood Garden magic labyrinth was a black castle at the top of a mountain. The castle was entirely empty, not a soul in sight.
But a second later, a woman with long, dark crimson hair appeared on the throne.
"It better be worth it to call me here, Mordred. I was in an important meeting in Revelry Storm Island," the woman said coldly.
Shortly after she spoke, a vampire bat the size of an eagle materialized out of blood particles in front of the woman. "Your Highness Morgana, two people fell down the Monarch\'s Abyss and…"
"And?" Morgana narrowed her eyes before she snorted. "Many people have fallen down and died. Speak fast and stop wasting my time. I have much more important things to do in Astral Land."
"Hehehe. Calm down, Your Highness," the bat spoke while giggling creepily, "these two people survived somehow and are now at the bottom of the Abyss. Surely, you can use them to get the thing you wanted for so long. I also want to get back my master\'s inheritance from that place and let you inherit it since you are the rightful successor."
"Oh…," Morgana was visibly shaken at such good news as her eyes appeared slightly excited. Taking a moderate breath, she smiled. "They won\'t be escaping any time from that place. Alright, start working, Mordred. First, I want a clear connection with them. Go and do it."
"As you wish, Your Highness," Mordred, the bat nodded and sighed. "If only I could go there physically, I would\'ve brought everything to you, my lady."
"No need to fawn on it anymore. Let\'s get the things done, and I will also help you fulfill your wish," Morgana snorted.
