Chapter 1155 Red-Headed Half-Elves Sure Are Troublesome

Antero had warned Lux through telepathy about Daniel's subordinates, who were waiting on the other side, so he prepared himself for a battle the moment they appeared on the Fourteenth Floor. As soon as they passed through the portal, Lux and his subordinates lashed out and annihilated the observers before they could send a message to Daniel.

Even the Demigod who was assigned to monitor the situation hadn't managed to do anything before James' Silver Spear pierced it through the head, ending its life in a heartbeat.

Blackfire then devoured the Abyssal Creature's body, leaving no traces behind.

As for the corpses of the other monsters in the surroundings, the Liches in Asmodeus' group reanimated them all and added them to their Undead Army.

"I didn't know you were strong, Gramps," Lux said as he looked at James, who was casually smoking a pipe and blowing circles of white smoke in the air. "You killed that Abyssal Lord without it realizing how it died."

"That was just a lucky strike," James replied. "His face scared me, so I threw my spear in reflex."

Lux stared at the Old Man before nodding his head in understanding. He knew that James wasn't obligated to help him, but the latter still did. So, he decided to no longer pry about his amazing spear throw.

"I don't think it's a good idea to head to the next portal directly," James said as he gazed in the distance. It was as if he could see for miles on end, informing the Half-Elf about what he was seeing.

"Then shall we take a detour?" Lux inquired.

"Yes," James answered. "Although it will take longer, it's still the safer option."

The Half-Elf nodded because he agreed with the old man's statement. He wasn't prepared to meet Daniel at this point in time.

If the two of them were to see each other soon, there was only one ending, and that was Lux's death.

Since that was the case, taking the slower yet safer option was the optimal choice.

Sleipnir ran Northwest, following the edges of the Abyssal Plane, where no Monster was in sight.

This process took them nearly five hours, but no one noticed them when they entered the Fifteenth Floor.

Fortunately, there was no welcoming party on the other side, so they did the same thing and successfully infiltrated the Sixteenth Floor.

They weren't so lucky when they arrived on the Seventeenth Floor because a fight broke out. Lux changed his appearance, making himself look like an Incubus in order to prevent anyone from recognizing him.

James, on the other hand, didn't bother to change his appearance, but he still wore a white wizard hat, making him look like Goondalf the White. They fought when they had to and hid when they had to.

Whenever they were forced to fight, they made sure to eliminate everyone, not leaving any witnesses behind.

Following this method, they arrived at the 30th Layer of the Abyss before deciding to rest.

Sleipnir had been running non-stop, and James thought that it would be best to let it recover its strength for the time being.

He fed it hay and gave it water, while Lux dug a cave in a nearby mountain, which would serve as their resting place.

There were no days and nights in the Abyss. The world was constantly bathed in crimson light, with a bloody full moon illuminating the heavens.

The star-studded sky was beautiful to behold, and yet, the Half-Elf wasn't in the mood to enjoy its view. There was only one thing on his mind, and that was to find Aurora and bring her Soul back to Elysium, where he could revive her.

Perhaps, knowing what he was thinking, James decided to strike up a conversation, temporarily pulling him away from his worries.

"I already mentioned that Eriol and Max asked me to help you," James said. "Usually, those two are very secretive, so I was surprised when they approached me. Are you perhaps one of their followers? Did you come from Altair? Vega? Solterra, or Pangea? Or are you perhaps someone who came from Earth?"

"You know Earth?" Lux asked back with curiosity.

"I see." James smiled before puffing on his pipe. "So you're an Earthling. I should have known. As to the answer to your question, I do know Earth. A month ago, I brought my granddaughters there, and we went to a Theme Park called Enchanted Kingdom. "My granddaughters are very cute and beautiful, you know? I worry about the future. I might accidentally kill the person who ends up asking for their hands in marriage."

Lux could tell that although James seemed to be joking, he was half serious with his statement. For an Old Man who could casually kill a Demigod with a single spear throw, he almost felt pity for whoever was foolish enough to ask for his granddaughters' hands in marriage.

After giving it some thought, Lux decided to ask James a question.

"Is there a way for me to go to Earth from Elysium or Solais?" Lux inquired.

James chuckled. "Why? Do you perhaps have a girlfriend that you left in that world?"

"Something like that."

"… Red-headed Half-Elves sure are troublesome."

The old man sighed before looking at the stars in the sky.

"There is always a possibility," James said. "Perhaps at the end of your journey, you will be able to find a way to visit Earth. I can also take you there for the right price. But let's not talk about that now. I'm sure that you don't want to go to Earth pronto, especially since there is a World Ending Calamity that's threatening your world, right?"

Lux nodded. "Right. I have no intention of returning to Earth right now. I'll wait until I gather the Pillars of Eternity first and save Solais."

"You do that," James smiled before puffing on his pipe. "I'll give you a free ride to Earth if you live through this calamity. After all, I can't bring you there once you're dead."

"How about as an Undead?" Lux inquired. "Hahaha. Well, I suppose that's possible. But trust me—your wives wouldn't want you to be Undead. Someone with unlimited stamina is a scary thing to face in bed, if you know what I mean."

Lux scratched his head because he understood what James was talking about.

Although he was a Necromancer, he had no intention of becoming an Undead. He was certain that his lovers would be very sad if that were to happen.
