Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Violet of the Abyss [1]
+
The material to revive the demon king:
Violet of the Abyss.
A violet flower bathed in the blood of over 30 sinners, those with dark, impure souls.

Kael’s group only had exactly 3 days left to reach the capital of the Dicathen Kingdom before they were forced to leave the 23rd floor.
And fortunately, if their calculations were correct, they would definitely arrive before that moment.
After all, they had successfully entered the territory of the Dicathen Kingdom.
Therefore, now, it was only a matter of time.
Of course, knowing that, everyone’s mood was much less tense.
To put it bluntly, they had become more idle recently because there wasn’t much to do.
But Kael and Erza were different.
They had an important mission, so even if they wanted to, they couldn’t rest.
To others, time seemed like a lot.
But for him and the prince, they were racing against time.
***
Night had fallen, covering the entire medium-sized city.
This was the time for everyone to rest after a long day, but for Kael, this was when things really began.
"Zzz...."
After making sure that Hans had fallen into a deep sleep, he instantly jumped out the window.
Meeting up with Erza who was waiting next to a trash can.
Their mission today was only one.
And that was to create the Violet of the Abyss.
"Where is that thing?"
"Here, it’s always with me."
From within his robe, the prince took out a purple flower with a yellow pistil.
Yeah, it was definitely a violet.
Step 1, which was also the easiest step, was completed.
"But now where do we find the blood of 30 people with dirty souls?"
Erza, wearing a white mask, curled his lips slightly.
"Have you forgotten that this is my territory, my kingdom?"
Yes, he was the first king, and the next king of this kingdom after all.
"It may sound unbelievable, but I actually know everything about this kingdom very well. I even know it better than myself."
***
Where there was light, there would be darkness.
There was no exception.
And that was also the case in this medium-sized city.
In front of the main bar of the Bloody Mary gang, there were two lowly guards.
"How envious of those inside."
A guard lamented, knowing that inside that place were the captains, the brains of the gang.
Seeing his colleague like this, the remaining guard could only smile helplessly.
"Come on, don’t be discouraged. If you try hard, who knows, maybe the boss will give you a better position in the gang? You have to have faith, brother!"
"...Try hard?"
Thinking of this, the guard’s eyes suddenly became brighter.
"You’re right, brother! I just need to try harder and they will recognize me!"
He had already confirmed his next target.
Tap tap.
Suddenly, someone lightly poked the guard’s shoulder twice.
Disgruntled at being cut off from this happy mood, he turned towards the person who had just done so.
The guard’s face showed an unfriendly and grumpy expression.
"What do you want?"
"Is this the headquarters of the Bloody Mary gang? And if I’m not mistaken, all the captains are gathered inside, right?"
It was two strange people.
Both of them were wearing black robes, covering their entire bodies.
In addition, one of them was wearing a white mask, while the other was wearing a black one.
The guard frowned slightly.
"Who are you two?"
He slowly picked up the sword from the ground.
This guard could sense that these two people had come here with bad intentions.
"I ask again, is this the headquarters of the Bloody Mary gang?"
The man in the black mask began to lose his patience.
Meanwhile, the guard only smirked, not realizing that danger was approaching.
Just now, he had been talking about how he should make more achievements to get promoted.
And coincidentally, the heavens had sent these two strange people here in front of him.
Only fools would not seize this opportunity.
"You guys came to cause trouble?"
"...Yes? Is there a problem?"
The man in the white mask tilted his head.
"No, it’s nothing."
The guard’s smile grew even brighter.
Because now, he could kill these two people without worrying about the consequences.
Then, while the two were off guard, he sped up, raising his sword high into the sky.
"Die, you bastards! You’ve encountered someone you shouldn’t have met!"
It was a surprise attack.
And the guard was confident that the two of them wouldn’t be able to react in time.
But, he made a very serious mistake.
Because the next moment, he saw the white masked man’s arm move slightly.
And then, for some reason, the guard felt his mind lighten.
’Eh...? Why is the moon upside down?’
***
The guard fell, but Kael and Erza didn’t show any special reactions.
It was as if they had just killed an ant.
"Is this the place you were talking about, Erza?"
Kael asked, while finishing off the remaining one.
The prince glanced at the name of the bar.
[Bloody Mary.]
Then, he glanced inside through the window.
"Yeah it is. Because I saw some familiar faces sitting inside."
Erza was referring to the leaders, and the boss of this gang.
"In that case, let’s go in together."
Bam!
The next second, Kael kicked the door open, creating a noise that no one could help but notice.
Everything seemed to have completely frozen as the two of them entered.
The laughter from earlier seemed to have evaporated.
Even the drunkards paused.
"Hello! Have a good evening."
Ignoring them, Kael and Erza casually walked in.
All eyes were on the two of them.
With a glance, he could count that there were over 30 people inside.
More than enough.
"Who are you two? How dare you come into the place where our Bloody Mary gang is, and even cause a ruckus?"
A muscular man, surrounded by many people, stood up.
Slowly, and exuding a terrifying aura, he approached him and the prince.
"Are you the boss of this gang?"
Kael asked, not showing the slightest bit of fear.
"That’s right, and who are you two?"
He pondered for a long moment, and then, after 10 seconds had passed, he opened his mouth:
"You can consider us the ones who will end the Bloody Mary gang today."
"Huh?"
The boss had never met anyone so arrogant.
But, Kael still had no intention of stopping.
"Bloody Mary, out."
