Chapter 1822: Chapter 1069: The Time to Feast Has Come

The red figures emerged with exceptional suddenness, as if they had been refreshed all at once.

Even as they appeared, they had already drawn their bows and released the arrows explosively.

Having prior experience, Onora did not hesitate at all, immediately choosing to harden her flesh to block the attack. The arrows, like a torrential downpour, fiercely shot out at her, but at most could only pierce her skin slightly before going no further.

When the red figures vanished, the arrows embedded in her also disappeared without a trace, and the wounds healed instantly.

It seemed as though the attacks were insignificant? But in any case, this was still considered an injury for Onora.

If it were back when she could still use Black Mud, she would never have ended up like this. Hardened Black Mud would easily block all the arrows, leaving her unharmed.

However, now, to prevent the Abyss from becoming jealous, she had to abandon Black Mud, and the Abyss and Black Mud are entirely different things, naturally providing different effects.

As for the effect the Abyss had on Onora, it seemed to enhance her basic stats and added Abyss enchantment to all attacks. Beyond that, she could only manipulate a small amount of the Abyss, enough to condense a few arrows at most, and its range and such were limited.

Although she felt her compatibility with the Abyss was quite good, she somehow could only manipulate such a small amount of it.

Could it be because her power was still too weak, preventing her from controlling more of the Abyss?

She couldn’t find the answer to this question, but for now, she just needed to know that the convenience of the Abyss wasn’t as good as Black Mud, with Black Mud boosting the user significantly more than the Abyss.

Onora glared at the giant with eyes flowing with killing intent and delivered a hand chop to the opponent’s waist and abdomen.

The giant was immediately bisected; his body’s toughness wasn’t as formidable as it looked—perhaps this was a common trait of summoning-type characters?

He was still summoning those arrow-shooting red figures before he died, and the mountain and field of red figures had just pulled back their bowstrings towards Onora.

However, as the giant’s life faded, the arrows in the red figures’ hands disappeared before being shot, until the red figures themselves also vanished.

As she watched the mountain and field of red figures finally disappear, Onora actually felt a sense of relief.

A single red figure was truly not strong, but when the number of arrows increased, their power wasn’t something a single arrow could match. She felt if she didn’t defend herself, she might truly get killed by such a barrage.

Though, her not defending was quite unlikely.

“What’s this?”

Her peripheral vision caught the appearance of a purple light point, and as she turned her head, a mass of light points had fallen on the chair where the giant had previously sat.

It must be the reward for killing that giant.

She wasn’t surprised at all that the light point was purple. Instead, if her strength were a bit lower and she died multiple times under heavy arrow rain before finally reaching the giant to kill him, only to find the reward was a purple light point…

In that situation, she might think, “Why is it only purple? Gold would be worthy of my efforts, wouldn’t it?”

Onora shrugged. Her mental scenario made the corners of her mouth curl upwards slightly, and she quickly picked up the purple light point.

[Contract Book of the Confused Guards]

[A contract signed by the Giant Judge and the Confused Guards, allowing the summoning of their souls to guard Ring Seal City after their death]

[Can only be used once, summoning a large number of Confused Guards to fight collaboratively]

“Confused Guards, Giant Judge…”

Onora savored the unfamiliar words, feeling there wasn’t any underlying meaning she needed to delve into.

The effect of the contract book was to summon those red figures earlier, that is, the Confused Guards, to fight collaboratively? If it could recreate the bridge scene, it would truly be considered an exceptionally rare tool, but unfortunately, it can only be used once.

Onora put away the contract book. This was her first gain since arriving at Ring Seal City, and its value matched the effort she put in.

“Great, the start of this journey is fantastic.”

Such wondrous rewards are indeed delighting!

It’s just a pity her subordinates weren’t revived.

Onora wasn’t worried about the safety of the Demon Clan soldiers killed by the Confused Guards. They all carried Teleportation Crystals, so at worst, they would be sent to the Resurrection House.

But from the current situation, perhaps every person entering the World Bubble only has one life.

Once they die, they’re kicked out, and what happens afterward is unknown, such as whether one must wait for any time restrictions before re-entering the World Bubble or whether the World Bubble might be damaged or something.

In short, it’s concerning enough to need to gather one’s spirit and not die easily.

If being kicked out means never setting foot in again, then one should find ways to maximize the benefit of this trip.

Hence, Onora looked at the now-empty chair.

The Giant Judge was resurrected when he was sitting in this chair, and it didn’t even take ten minutes before and after.

Well, I’ll wait here for a while and kill him a few more times to gather more contract books… If adventurers, they would certainly do so, Onora thought.
