My Abyss Survival Diary

Chapter 27 Are you still alive?

His eyes were completely covered in dust, and the raging wind made it difficult for him to stand.

He heard the piercing screams of the hungry "angel," whose rumbling stomach could not be satisfied by the heretical girl, and it had to hunt for new prey.

Temporarily losing his sight, the monster's flapping wings made a deafening sound, and he also temporarily lost his hearing. But he didn't want to sit and wait to die, so he could only endure the pain and barely open his eyes. Once he saw the direction, he rushed headlong into the forest. Only in this way could he save his life.

The piercing shriek grew closer, forcing Simon to grip the harpoon tightly, enduring the pain in his eyes, and using his blurred vision to locate the monster.

But the monster didn't seem to intend to prey on him. The huge black shadow flapped its wings and took flight, a shriek sweeping overhead...

There was a thud, as if something else had fallen down.

survived.

Even Simon, who had survived many near-death experiences, felt his legs go weak at this moment.

That monster possessed both the characteristics of a holy angel and the eerie aura of the abyss. Simon could even sense its power without fighting it.

It possessed an indescribable aura. What Simon saw was not just a flying monster, but a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood built from wreckage and bones! The vengeful spirits of the tragically killed creatures let out desperate groans, alerting other prey not to approach.

Simon's fingers loosened slightly, and the harpoon fell to the ground. He slowly squatted down, using his left hand to clean the mud and sand from his eyes, while his right hand groped around on the ground.

His fingers didn't touch the hard fork; instead, they touched something soft.

No way, no way...

He silently prayed to himself, hoping that he wouldn't be startled by anything strange when he opened his eyes.

As his vision gradually cleared, he first shifted his gaze slightly to the right, then slowly brought it back to the center...

He gasped.

The hand accidentally touched the head of that heretical girl!

The monster was quite efficient in its attack; the girl's body was chewed to pieces, but her head remained intact.

Horror, pain, and despair were frozen on that face as if they were real.

An inanimate object is an inanimate object; even if it retains the beauty it had in life, the aura of death is still repulsive.

Simon ignored it and hurriedly cleaned the sand and dust from his eyes and hair. He was covered in sand and dust from head to toe, and his curly hair was also mixed with a lot of dust.

"Hey, can you help me...?"

Simon's heart skipped a beat! He turned his head in shock, and sure enough, the soft, sweet voice came from that head.

He wondered if there was something wrong with his optic nerve. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the head in disbelief.

Stop rubbing your eyes! Yes, it's me talking.

The girl's expression changed, and she looked quite helpless.

"You're not dead yet?"

"I cut off my own head inside the monster's stomach, shielded it with my body, and threw it out, so I'm still alive..." She gave a bitter laugh, "If this counts as being alive."

The Mother of Abundance could actually do this? Simon could hardly believe that a head that had lost all its organs could still speak so fluently.

This had a huge impact on his worldview.

But that's fine too, there are some things he needs to clarify.

He cradled the head in his hands: "Feed..."

"I'm not called 'Hey,' please call me Miss Brienne." The girl was even consciously correcting his form of address.

Simon was not bothered by her and got straight to the point.

"What exactly is that monster? Is it a child of the abyss?"

"No, no, no, that guy isn't a child of the Abyss." Brienne wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't.

"The so-called Abyss Offspring are new life forms born from the Abyss during the decay period. They possess extremely strong power. From the moment they are born, their purpose in the world is to leave the Abyss, spread the seeds of chaos to the outside world, and conquer new worlds for the Abyss."

"And then? So what exactly is that six-winged monster?" Simon asked eagerly.

Wait a minute? Six wings?

Two completely unrelated elements merged in his mind, and he seemed to have obtained the final answer.

"That thing is a damned vengeful spirit..." Brienne said with a face full of resentment when she mentioned the hungry angel. "It wasn't born from the abyss, but entered the abyss from the outside and was transformed there, which is why it turned into this."

Breanne's words complete the final piece of Simon's reasoning.

The Empire of Blazing Sun, the Angel Legion.

The Empire's proud airborne force, possessing six steel wings bestowed by the Iron Emperor, repeatedly descended from the sky during the Great Expedition to reinforce the battlefield, catching the Twilight Empire's forces off guard.

"He was a member of the Angel Legion in his lifetime," Simon deduced the identity of the Hungry Angel.

Brienne's head lay on the ground, her unfocused eyes staring at the sky.

Her lips moved slightly, and a stiff smile tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Clever. I thought you were just a mouse with a bit of courage, but I didn't expect you to be so smart."

Simon squatted there, silent for a few seconds.

The wind blew up from the hole, carrying that rotten, sweet smell, and messed up his curly hair.

He wiped the dust off his face with the back of his hand, removing the last bit of dirt from the corner of his eye.

"You've said everything you needed to say." He stood up, picked up the harpoon from the ground, and said, "Goodbye."

"Wait," Brienne's voice came from the ground, a little urgent, "You're just leaving like this?"

"What else?" Simon slung the harpoon over his shoulder, looking down at the head. "Bury you? Burn you? Or hand you over to the priest in exchange for indulgences?"

"Take me with you."

Simon suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I can help you." Brienne's voice caught up, more urgent than before. "I know a lot of things, the terrain of the abyss, the weaknesses of the monsters. You won't lose out by taking me with you."

"You were just trying to summon the offspring of the abyss to kill me."

"That was just now." Brienne's voice carried a hint of grievance, but Simon felt it was feigned. "Now I have no body, just a head. What can I do? Bite you?"

Simon turned around, walked back, squatted down, and looked at the head.

"Why are you following me?" he was still puzzled.

"Because it's interesting." Brienne blinked, her unfocused pupils seeming to brighten for a moment. "You're different from others, and I wanted to see how far you could go. This is fine now; I'll witness your fate firsthand."

Seeing that Simon was still hesitating, she became a little anxious.

"Don't hesitate, you won't lose out or be cheated by taking me with you. I'll do everything I can to help you. If all else fails, just think of it as taking a spherical telescope."

Simon stared at her for three seconds.

Although this person may have other motives, she does know a lot about the Abyss and heresy, so taking her along can help avoid a lot of risks.

Then he reached out, grabbed Brienne's hair, and lifted the head up.

His hair was very soft, slipping through his fingers. His head felt lighter than he had imagined, like a hollow cabbage.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—" Brienne cried out. "Can't you be a little gentler? I'm a girl, for goodness' sake!"

"I can't help it, I still need to hold the harpoon." Simon held the head in his hands, switched the harpoon to his left, and said, "I'll find a container to put you in."

Holding Breanne's head, Simon walked toward the meeting place he had agreed upon with Klein.

He sighed inwardly, realizing he was now truly being treated like a psychopathic killer.
