Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 181: Could it be that Paimon is a man made of nails?
Maybe the Princess of the Abyss' plan did succeed, because in the end, Halfdan did regain his consciousness and met Dain in the form of a soul.

But this kind of success is obviously not the success that the Abyss Order wants.

After resting and recovering for a period of time, Dain opened the portal and looked for a suitable place to bury Halfdan.

Buried in a place related to their homeland of Canria.

"Then, let's go first."

Sasuke responded, and he straightened up and stretched his muscles.

The mystery about the Abyss Order in the Strata Abyss has been solved, but so far, he has not seen the 'nail' that Wendy said.

"Come on, Paimon."

Paimon nodded obediently beside him, floated to Sasuke's side, and followed him deeper into the layer of rock.

Seeing Paimon leaving with Sasuke, Sora unconsciously stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong, Sora."

Dyne, who was about to enter the portal, saw Sora's movements and asked.

"Do you have anything else to ask Sasuke? They shouldn't have gone far yet."

"It's okay, I just feel like there's an empty space in my heart, and I seem to have lost something very important."

"But I can't tell what it is, maybe it's influenced by Ying."

"...When I saw Sasuke and Paimon traveling together, did it remind me of the previous trip with your sister?"

Dyne asked.

"Maybe."

Sora couldn't explain this indescribable emotion.

"It's okay, let's go."

In the end, Sora didn't understand this unreasonable emotion, and walked into the portal with Dyne.

At the moment, he still feels that it is more important to continue to find a way to save his sister who has fallen into the abyss with Dine.

……

After using the dragon wings of Tevalin's power to fly out of the ruins of the ancient city, Sasuke saw an underground river with many luminous mushrooms growing on both sides of the river bed.

At the fork of this underground river, Sasuke still used the old method of using shadow clones to find the way.

The shadow clones that went exploring in different directions dissipated half an hour later, bringing back information to Sasuke.

There is a tunnel to the west, and a stone gate at the end of the tunnel blocks the way in. To the north is upwards, and that road can lead to the ancient city where Sasuke rang the bell before.

To the south is a very large glowing mushroom, and to the west is a dead end.

There seemed to be nothing unusual about the giant glowing mushroom except that it was big and glowing, so the only thing that could be explored was the tunnel with the stone door.

After coming to the stone gate and observing it carefully, Sasuke discovered that the depression on the stone gate actually matched the square previously guarded by the Abyss Apostle.

Is this a coincidence?
Sasuke took out the shiny block from the folding bag and tried to insert it.

After the block was placed into the depression, the stone door in front of him automatically decomposed, opening up the way out.

"Wow! It can actually be opened."

Paimon was startled by the sudden collapse of the stone door.

"The square we just had was guarded by the apostles of the abyss, right?"

"It seems that this place is also related to the Abyss Order."

"Well, let's go in and have a look."

Sasuke stepped inside the stone door.

Although there is only one door between this space and the space outside the stone door, the scenes are completely different.

Outside the stone gate are the rock walls, ruins, and the remains of some ancient buildings, but the space inside the stone gate is completely different.

What caught Sasuke's eyes was a huge, long, glowing column.

The huge crystal recorded in the diary of the Fools.

It is also what Wendy calls a 'nail'.

This nail-shaped crystal is surrounded by black and purple spots.

No, it shouldn't be called spots. Those black and purple things have almost completely covered the crystal. "This big guy is really a lame guy."

Paimon said as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"The cripple's buttocks?"

Sasuke was puzzled.

"Slanted door!"

"..."

Looking at Sasuke who was confused, Paimon scratched his head.

"Well, you seem to be unable to understand our Teyvat homophone."

"Forget it, I won't explain."

"Anyway, it's very evil."

Very evil indeed.

The feeling given to him by these black, mud-like substances was almost exactly the same as the aura given to him by the mud Ying used before, but it was more intense.

Could it be that the black mud used by Ying was diluted with these things?
What worries Sasuke even more is that the previous logs of the Fools mentioned that they transported something called the Mokosh Device here, bombarded the crystal, and dispersed a little of the black matter on it.

How did they do it?
The device that opened the stone door was obtained by Sasuke from the Abyss Order, so how did the Fools get in?

Could it be that when the Fools came here, there was no stone gate just now?
"Hey, Sasuke, look, there is a stone tablet over there."

"This stone monument looks so new. Doesn't it feel out of place with the surrounding ruins?"

Sasuke looked in the direction Paimon pointed, and there was indeed a stone monument.

Paimon has become particularly keen since he came here.

This stone tablet was hidden in a corner, but Sasuke didn't feel anything out of place.

He couldn't help but look at Paimon twice.

The one who responded to him was still Paimon's innocent big eyes.

This guy.

Recently, Sasuke has become accustomed to the behavior of sending gods and ghosts to him.

Or maybe he was too lazy to dig deeper.

After all, there was no way Paimon could harm him, so he went straight to the stone monument.

There are many strange inscriptions on the stone tablet, but the translation function when he came to this world failed.

However, after a little observation, he could also tell that the map carved on it was a map of the surrounding area, and the pattern on it was also related to the evil suspended crystal in front of him.

Combined with the log mentioned by Foolish People, purifying the abyssal breath on the crystal requires a huge external force to collide with the crystal.

But why is there a huge insect painted under this huge crystal?
Sasuke looked around, but there seemed to be no clues related to this bug.

However, you still have to experiment to know exactly how it works.

Sasuke activated Tevarin's elemental power chakra, projected Tevarin here, and then put on the armor Susanoo with Ruda's elemental power chakra.

This time he focused on strengthening the Susanoo armor on Tevarin's claws to make them sharper.

After preparations were completed, under Sasuke's command, the powerful Tevalin moved back to the edge of the space to ensure maximum acceleration.

Then he increased his speed, and then aimed at the huge crystal stone to collide.

With a crashing sound that resounded through the space, the Tevalin claws covered with Susanoo armor struck the crystal.

The crystal stone that was struck instantly glowed, and the faint blue light filled the entire space here.

Layers of white light emitting strange patterns emerged on the crystal. The black mud-like substance that originally wrapped the crystal rapidly decomposed and melted under the white light.

Sasuke felt his head explode when he caught a glimpse of the white light.

This white light Sasuke had seen before.

During the previous battle on Tevalin's Dragon Back, the Apostle of the Abyss had attacked Sasuke with an ice ray. At that time, Paimon sacrificed himself to block the attack.

The same is the damage caused by the power of the abyss...

At that time, it was this white light that dissipated from Paimon's wound.
