"No fucking way."
"He can't be gone..."
"This human is..."
The angels were shouting, their voices filled with both fear and admiration.
Some looked at Alex with disbelief.
While others seemed unable to process what had just happened.
Alex had heard the stories before, since he spent a long time fighting many races in his past life.
Tales of how no one ever returned from the Abyss.
It didn't matter if they were mortals, demons, or some of the strongest beings in Universal Descent.
Once someone stepped into that cursed place, they were never seen again.
That rule applied to the angels too.
For thousands of years, they had been forced to offer monthly sacrifices to the God of the Abyss, Varyn.
Their offerings consisted of captured monsters, but sometimes, they had no choice but to sacrifice their own kin as well.
They despised the Abyss with every fiber of their being.
