Lu Moyu struggled to stand. His body shook, and his soul felt weak. In fact, he felt like his body, which was actually not his to begin with, was cracking from everywhere.
The guardian no longer moved, but its red eyes were glowing coldly.
Emrys felt dizzy. The pain from Lu Moyu's soul was affecting him too. He tried to focus, but darkness kept pulling him in.
Lu Moyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His hands clenched into fists. He wanted to fight, but he knew he was not strong enough to go against the guardian. The guardian was too powerful.
Back then, when he was still the ruler of Abyss, the guardian was nowhere to be seen. Even when the abyss was destroyed completely, swallowed by a dragon-like mouth, devoured by Ling Xiaolong, the guardian never appeared.
Every Abyss has a king and a guardian.
Normally, a king is the true ruler of an abyss. However, in the absence of a king, a guardian has the final say.
