The Abyss(1)

The grey sky overhead was dispersing, like oats dissolving in milk. Brendel was standing in the middle of the plains, looking at the dead body of the Holy Cathedral’s of Fire’s deputy leader, the black flame on his body was gradually fading away like black butterflies dancing gracefully.

“How was it?” Orthylss asked all of a sudden.

“Dangerous.” Brendel gasped slightly. The last fight with William made him acknowledge the gap between his strength and the capabilities of someone who is truly strong. Even if William did not fight back at the last moment, he would not have been able to break through this deputy leader’s defense if he did not use his Berserk talent.

It could be said that apart from his own capability, luck also had a part in this outcome. However, the fortunate thing was that he won, and that was enough.

He paused for a second.

Brendel suddenly asked, “Master Orthlyss, you already knew that Kelsie’s Cards had flaws, right?”

Orthlyss smiled gently, “Some things will only leave a deep impression if experienced personally. Years of battling taught me this, a new soldier would never become an experienced veteran without facing challenges and setbacks, little fellow.”

It was a piece of heartfelt advice to Brendel, the moment when William dragged him into the Extreme Plains, even the Planeswalker’s system was disrupted. Medissa, Ciel, and other summoned objects were isolated from the world, breaking the cycle and thus proving one thing: Kelsie’s Cards still had flaws.

The final outcome showed that this battle was a lucky win for him. The fortunate thing was that it was William who discovered this flaw. Had it been someone stronger, it might have been Brendel that was lying on the ground now.

This made it clear that he still had the chance to improve himself.

But the reason behind his sudden question to Orthylss was because he suddenly thought about the enemy of the four Saints in the past – the Darkness Dragon, Odin. Ina had once told him that Odin was a powerful Planeswalker. Yet, the four Saints could defeat Odin, indicating that the Planeswalkers were not at the top of all existence.

Orthylss seemed to know what was going on in his head and replied softly, “It was said that all Planeswalkers pursue perfection. And with the Laws, the world is built to near perfection. It was also those Laws that made them almost indomitable.

Unfortunately, no one has managed to truly attain perfection……”

Brendel knew she was trying to say: Even Odin did not manage to achieve that feat. Otherwise, he would have definitely defeated the four Saints.

“Odin’s deck is called Darkest Nights. His deck is much more offensive than the deck in your hand. The special characteristic of this deck is transforming all elements into Dark EPs, the primary element of his deck. Can you imagine the power disparity you would have when you fight against the Darkness Dragon? The feeling of you getting weaker and weaker while he gradually becomes stronger.” [T/L: not sure why the author is alternating Odin between a female and a male. Could he be transgender?] [ED: It’s a trap!]

“This sounds a little similar to Madara.”

“Don’t miss the point here, Madara’s Undeads were once his subordinat
