Chapter 744: "The Abyss' Entrance"
Chapter 744: “The Abyss’ Entrance”
Fortunately, the dimensional holes could only transport monsters or spread miasma and could not send out the demons.
This was why the demons couldn’t come out at all and could only rely on dimensional holes to spread out miasma.
The appearance of these gemstones on this island means that there were a lot of demons who came out of the seal’s crack or something.
However, they eventually died because the entrance to the abyss only allowed visitors to come in, but they couldn’t go out.
The blood of various demons who tried to come out became these gemstones.
The Abyss’ entrance was always a mysterious phenomenon, and many experts said that it was the side effect of the seals.
Or maybe the seal is wearing off despite various leaders from countless races repeatedly strengthening the seal once every decade.
There were many cases where innocent people fell into the entrance and disappeared, never to come back.
Of course, nowadays, non-human races have a way to enter the abyss and return without being trapped by the seal. Strangely, not a single demon could come out.
However, humans didn’t have this kind of strange method yet. Once someone fell into the abyss, they would never come back.
“Boss…don’t tell me the treasures on this island are all the demons’ leftovers?” Ethania, who was usually low-key, couldn’t help but ask Ainsley with a black face.
The demons’ leftovers such as their skins, eyeballs, nails, horns, wings, hairs, furs, blood, and other things are really rare and high in demand.
It’s really a treasure depending on the uses.
These gemstones are really good to be accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, brooches, earrings, and so on.
The gemstones’ effects are varied depending on the gems’ colour. Red gems can boost one’s special ability when infused with one’s special energy.
The person using the gemstone will enter the state of ‘berserk’ and will be five times more powerful than the usual.
A pinky-sized gemstone is enough to last for five minutes before crumbling into dust.
The blue gemstone has the demons’ natural regeneration ability. The green one has an anti-poison effect since the demons are immune to poisons.
The black gem can improve one’s physical strength for a period of time since the demons are naturally strong.
The pink gem can charm others because some demons have charm skill, and this kind of charm is way greater than the ability of users’ charm ability.
The purple gem has a hypnotic effect or can induce nightmares.
The yellow and orange gem can amplify one’s special energy for a period of time, depending on the gem’s size.
These gems are really precious because the effects are better than potions, and lucky ones can even trigger another awakening after using these gems.
Strangely, there’s no miasma inside the gems, and the gems can even repel miasma.
That’s why the capital’s wall has many gemstones like these!
Even inside the capital, one could see many traces of colourful gemstones that were already polished until no one realized the gems were condensed demons’ blood.
“The previous family should have seen the gemstones too and rely on this resource to build up wealth, but….maybe they discovered something wrong, and that’s why they gave away the island?”
This time, Marietta was the one speaking. She was worried that this island was just a trap for the Sloan Family…
But Ainsley shook her head because the Godfather just told her something.
“No. I think these gemstones aren’t that easy to find. It all relies on one’s luck, and the previous family isn’t too lucky. The cons outweigh the pros, so they decide to give the island away.”
Ainsley rubbed her chin as she calmly analysed the situation. An abyss’ entrance was dangerous, but she couldn’t let go of this island.
There might be a clue to Axelle’s bloodline here because…he was half-demon, right?
Ainsley peeked at Axelle, who had gone completely silent and seemingly too frightened or worried to say anything.
Everyone in the team knew Axelle’s background as a mixed-blood elf with half of his blood belonging to the demons, so all of them were also concerned about Axelle.
“Sir alchemist, you…” one of the team leaders wanted to appease Axelle but eventually stopped.
Everyone here was close to Axelle, but they were also afraid of his demonic bloodline.
Even if his elf bloodline was currently stronger than the demonic bloodline, no one knew when he would turn into demons due to his demonic bloodline.
Axelle’s face paled even further, and he bit his lips. He refused to look at anyone and continued to be gloomy, but he didn’t plead Ainsley to leave the island.
He also wanted to stay here and maybe uncover something about his family background.
Ainsley patted Axelle’s back and gave him a silent encouragement before focusing on her people.
“For now, let’s find the Abyss’ entrance exact location and mark the area as a forbidden area. I’ll ask the previous family if they know anything about this. They should be helpful.”
Ainsley immediately contacted the previous island’s owner even though the signal was bad.
In the end, she did accumulate a lot of information and found out the Abyss’ entrance exact location from these people.
Thus, they immediately came back to the base and brought out various tools to create a blockade around the abyss’ entrance.
The entrance was really hard to find because the only difference was that the soil there looked darker than in other areas.
Still, Ainsley’s group finally marked the dangerous invisible entrance and didn’t let anyone come close.
This move directly showed Ainsley’s decision regarding the team and the island.
They will stay and won’t leave the island!
