Abyss Draconis

Chapter 220: His Will

The sun was starting to appear.

"I fought through the night?" he asked himself in shock as his legs finally gave way, crashing onto the ground as he fell to the side, armless.

[No, Host!]

[The night has lasted for a total of 72 hours, equalling Endearth’s three days.]

[So technically, it would be better to say the Host has fought for three days and nights now and has kept Nano-Umbral Reaper active throughout these three days.]

[Not by energy, as the Host’s body had already given up mere three hours after its activation, but by mere Corrupted Will!]

[The effects will now settle in, five minutes from now, and the Host better prepare well!]

The system said as Ryuk’s eyes refocused, and he sighed at the face pressing against his head.

It was Isha, and surprisingly, she had kept up with him through the entire night, even though Ryuk had bought around ten or so more healing injury pills.

Lesser ones.

"Hey, system. How many purchase points do I have left?" he asked.

[Purchase Points: 500]

"I choose to buy one final Lesser Grade Body Healing Serum."

[Lesser Grade Body Healing Serum]

[Purchase Points: 500]

[Does Host really wish to purchase?]

"Yes."

In an instant, a glass serum appeared in his palms, and he poured it into Isha’s maw, just like he had done countless times now. Her injuries began fading away, the diabolical marks over her body vanishing, and her wings regenerating.

In a few seconds, she was back to her peak.

"Hey, Isha..." Ryuk called weakly as he felt the world begin to fade.

"Yes?" Isha replied.

"I will be going into a slumber for some time now. It might be a bit long. So, I want you to return to the tree house I made and lay me in the tent."

"There’s a storage ring, on my severed hand, just right there," Ryuk said, as he looked at his severed arm laying about three meters away. Isha moved to it, picking up the blue ring.

She knew well she had only lasted through that battle because of the healing pills and setum she had received.

She had zero idea how Ryuk had gotten these things, but they were the only things that allowed her to fight by his side for so long through the battle.

And throughout its duration, she had never seen Ryuk take a single pill or serum himself.

He had been beaten, risen up, and fallen, only to rise again, be beaten down, and then fall once more, only to rise up back again.

She had watched him rise and rise. With nothing but a scythe and her by his side. He had continued fighting and fighting.

She had previously thought him weak.

And even though Isha had been subdued by Ryuk due to his King’s aura, she wasn’t dumb.

She also knew well it was only because of the weird skill Ryuk had used to subdue her.

Somehow, even after this subduement, she still felt his weakness deep down.

She still felt she was higher and he was unworthy of having her by his side. She felt him even more weaker when she saw his true capability with his fight with the Collosal.

But now, she had been proven wrong.

"He might be weak now. His ability now might be tiny compared to his abysmal potential. In fact, if compared, it makes him look like trash."

"But there’s no doubt about it. He’s willed enough. Willed enough to rise back up, even after every crushing defeat."

"He was strong enough to smile through the pain and suffering, endlessly rise back up after being beaten down."

"There’s no doubt about it now. He will fill up his abyss of cup one day."

"And when he does, none—none will stand in his way and live."

"Perhaps that is when we both will be truly find peace. And until then, I’ll be by his side."

"I swear on my life."

"I’ll be by your side until the end of it all... My King."
