When we saw the transport gate, all three of us couldn't help revealing strange smiles. That was because whoever had designed this transport gate had a strange sense of humour. They had designed it so that it was a gate that looked like it was the gates of hell. Well, it wasn't as if this was wrong since this should be a gate that led right into the Abyss, where the Abyss Demons lived. But for them to make the transport gate that led there look like this really was a bad joke. After seeing the way that we looked at the transport gate, the Abyss Guard representative asked with a teasing smile, "Getting cold feet now?" We shook our heads and revealed serious looks once again, but he just said, "No need to be that serious. You're not in danger yet, this just leads to our base outside of the Abyss. You'll still have time to get your footing before heading into the Abyss." Then without even waiting for us to say anything, he stepped right into the transport gate. Looking at Iris and Wang Rong, I just followed him into the transport gate. This was a familiar feeling, but there was a powerful feeling that came from the other side as well. It was the feeling of danger. As expected of a transport gate that led to the Abyss. When we came out of the transport gate, we were hit with a wave of sound. It certainly wasn't what we were expecting to see, but then again, it wasn't as if we knew what to expect from this place. Thinking back, the Abyss Guard representative had said that this was the base that was outside of the Abyss. And since it was a base that was placed outside the Abyss, it should be a military base just in case the Abyss ever broke. There were all kinds of military machines that were being moved around, such as special magic tanks and vehicles. As well as mounted turrets that were all pointed at the entrance to the Abyss at the center of the camp. This was a camp that was clearly made to suppress the Abyss if anything came from it. But that wasn't strange since this was the final line of defense if something ever happened with the Abyss. After letting us look around the camp for a bit, the representative from the Abyss Guard called out to us, "Come on, follow me. I'll bring you to the registration tent to get you enrolled and then you can go pick up your supplies from the supplies tent. After that, you'll have a day to prepare before you head into the Abyss." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said in a serious voice, "If you don't go into the Abyss within a day, that'll be regarded as desertion and you'll be labelled as traitors to the human race. I hope that you will remember that and head into the Abyss as soon as possible." The way that he said this was almost as if he had some kind of personal experience with this. It seemed like something similar had happened to him in the past… But since we were here, it wasn't as if we would run away now. We had already made up our mind before coming to this place after all. Seeing that we didn't react at all to this, the Abyss Guard representative gave a nod of approval before saying, "It's good that you've prepared yourself. That's what's needed if you're going to head into the Abyss." With that, he turned around and started leading the way again. During this time, we were able to take in the sights of the camp. Though there wasn't really much to see since this was just a military camp in the first place. The first surprising thing was how many people were actually here. Only it didn't seem like everyone that was here was actually a part of the Abyss Guards. The Abyss Guards were the more famous group that were here to guard the entrance of the Abyss, as well as head in to clear out the Abyss Demons to prevent a dungeon break. However, there were also other people that were stationed here. These were soldiers from the militaries of most countries' armies in this world. They were here just in case anything ever happened, but they weren't strong enough to actually dive into the Abyss. The best way to describe them was cannon fodder to stop the Abyss Demons if they ever escaped. That was why there were so many of these soldiers and supplies that were at this base camp outside the entrance of the Abyss. As we walked through the camp, we could see the way that the soldiers were looking at the Abyss Guard representative that was sent to escort us. It was clear that they were filled with respect towards him. After all, he was one of the few people that were allowed to enter the Abyss to fight the Abyss Demons. In this world, strength was what commanded respect. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The other surprising thing was how many members of the Abyss Guards were here. One thought that the Abyss Guards was an elite group that only had a few members, but it seemed that this place had quite a few people with the same badge as the representative that came to pick us up. But thinking about it, it did make sense since even if they were an elite group, this was a group that had members from all over the world. They didn't just have a few members from here or there, it was an international group. So there were countless people to pick from and bring into the Abyss Guards. Everyone had their circumstances, so it only made sense that there were so many people that joined the Abyss Guards. It didn't take long for him to bring us to the registration tent.
