Chapter 111: Abyss of Despair
"Isn’t this place the Abyss of Despair? Only those of the Dragon race will be sent into the Abyss of Despair if they are deemed to be traitors." Various thoughts about the Dragon race’s inhumane rules from the past came flooding back into Rossweisse’s mind. As a human who was more than a thousand years old, Rossweisse possessed extensive knowledge about every rule that had been implemented by the Dragon race in the past.
Currently, the Abyss of Despair is a place that cannot be entered by anyone other than members of the Dragon race. Therefore, until now, the Dragon race had completely forgotten the terrible history of the Abyss of Despair that had been created by their ancestors in the past.
In the end, the Abyss of Despair is a place where dragons who betrayed the Dragon Realm would be cast into the abyss to be executed. But after the war that had lasted for tens of thousands of years ended, the Dragon race decided to erase the history of the Abyss of Despair from their memories.
Only those who were born with great power knew the full history of what had happened in the past. Most living beings throughout the world considered the Dragon race to be strong and superior. But the Dragon race was no different from beings who had no pride because they dared to cover up the dark history of their own species.
"Hey, boy, I advise you not to jump off that cliff. It’s not an ordinary place at all. You should know what it really means if you jump off that cliff."
Both Rossweisse and Lucien began to show serious expressions as they faced each other. Moreover, the expression Lucien showed at that moment was filled with despair. However, the amount of time Lucien had spent trying to escape from Rossweisse’s pursuit had already reached three hours.
For now, Lucien had completely reached his limit after being chased relentlessly by a crazy woman like Rossweisse. On the other hand, Rossweisse’s stamina had not decreased at all.
"What if I decide to jump off that cliff? Will you stop trying to make me your disciple?"
"Ugh... If you dare jump off that cliff, I will never forgive you for making my disciple Elize sad. Do you understand?"
An involuntary sigh escaped from Lucien’s mouth after he listened to Rossweisse’s answer regarding his plan to jump into the abyss. From the perspective of Elize’s lover, Lucien knew that a woman like Rossweisse would never dare to recklessly allow her disciple’s lover to plunge directly into that terrifying abyss.
As a man who had been tortured by human women in the past, Lucien had experienced bitter suffering many times while enduring their abuse. There had even been a time when Lucien was forced to wear a humiliating disguise by dressing as a woman to serve homosexual women.
That was also one of the reasons why Lucien was not happy at all when he discovered that some women were attracted to those of the same sex. For that reason, Athena and Elize decided to establish a rule that no woman in their family would be allowed to have same-sex relationships.
One of Lucien’s traumas to this day was witnessing elderly women engaging in disgusting acts with men whom they had forced to disguise themselves as women. In fact, Lucien was not the only one who had been used as a tool for the abuse of human women. On the contrary, countless handsome young men had also suffered the torture inflicted by the brothel’s customers.
"Is there no other way I can refuse your offer to become your personal disciple? Please show me some mercy!"
"Sigh. Lucien Blackheart, I will ask you once again whether you will become my personal disciple or not. I promise that I will never force you to come with me to the Life Continent. Instead, I will stay with you and Elize in the Dragon Realm so that I can train both of you together."
There was no expression on Lucien’s face other than surprise. For the first time, Lucien’s previously uncontrollable heartbeat began to calm down.
"That means I can still stay with the others?"
"That’s right. Will you accept me as your master or not? If you decide to become my disciple, you won’t be able to consider Lize your master anymore. Do you understand?"
Despite his doubts, Lucien had absolutely no other choice but to accept the offer Rossweisse had made to him. From the very beginning, Rossweisse was a crazy woman who would do anything to achieve her goals.
Because Rossweisse had now met the man she had wanted to meet her entire life, she had absolutely no intention of letting him go, even if another woman was already living by his side. Therefore, Rossweisse hoped that she could take him as her disciple and raise his strength far beyond its current level.
The only drawback to Lucien becoming Rossweisse’s disciple was that his strength was still much weaker than that of the powerful beings at the highest level. For some reason, a serious expression began to appear on Lucien’s face.
There was no longer any doubt in Lucien’s heart about what had happened before. His mind had now completely regained its calmness. In fact, the reason Lucien had previously rejected Rossweisse’s offer was that he did not want to set foot on the Life Continent a second time. After all, the Life Continent was the place where Lucien had suffered various forms of torture at the hands of humans.
But that did not mean Lucien hated the humans living on the Life Continent. From the very beginning, Lucien had been a human who was born and raised on the Life Continent. If it had not been for the bandits who destroyed Lucien’s village, he would never have considered humans to be cruel beings.
Another side of Lucien recognized that the Human race was a unique and hardworking race. Moreover, Lucien’s inherited talent as a human allowed him to adapt to any situation that occurred around him. That alone was enough for Lucien to consider the Human race a powerful race.
Lucien’s pride in being born a human had never disappeared from his heart or mind. For now, Lucien’s only hatred towards the Human race was that some of their natures far surpassed those of the evil beings throughout the world.
"Miss Rossweisse. No, I mean my master, Master Rossweisse, please guide me from now onwards. I entrust my priceless life to you."
"Hehe. Don’t worry. You and Elize are both my personal disciples. I have decided to make you my only personal male disciple. Therefore, I will focus more of my attention on training your strength."
There was no reason whatsoever for Lucien to reject the training Rossweisse offered him. Because Rossweisse was Elize’s master, both he and Elize would receive training that was not very different from each other.
