Sins Paradise: Domination System

Swoosh!

Pang!

My swords moved without stopping, and Tristan kept firing arrows at any monsters getting close to us. It didn't take long before she ran out of the arrow and took out [Night's Edge] to fight them using the shadow blades.

"Just a bit more! <Whirlwind!>"

"I know it! Just focus on killing them!"

Many monsters fell as my sword moved. Some managed to reach us, but the barrier I put up earlier to keep the wind away managed to block their attack.

As a result, we didn't even lose 1 HP at all. The monsters were also only around Levels 60 to 70 as we hadn't reached the area close to World-End Waterfall yet, so it was rather easy.

"I Leveled up!" Tristan shouted from behind me.

"What?! Did you feel sleepy?"

"No. But my MP recovered just like when I Leveled up back in Horizon Online! So it's not a problem at all!"

"That's great! Now continue to kill those monsters. Just a little bit more, and we will escape their horde!"

"I know!"

Probably because of the 'Player' state, Tristan Level up didn't include the deep sleep experienced by people in this world. That was reassuring.

It would be troublesome if I needed to fight while protecting her. I could do it, but that would become troublesome.

"I can see the light!" Tristan shouted as she pointed at the area in front of me.

We were surrounded by monsters on all sides, causing the area around us to get dark. But, a light now penetrated through the gap, indicating that we were almost out of jail created by these monsters.

Infusing MP into <Sword of Mars>, it hummed in response and let out an orange glow that lit the surrounding. And then, I brought the sword close to my side and thrust it forward.

"<Pierce!>"

A long searing hot flame shot from <Sword of Mars>, clearing the monsters in front of us. They disintegrated into ashes, leaving a hole big enough for my magic carpet to pass through.

"Tristan!"

"Yeah!"

Without me telling her what to do, she immediately understood and took a special arrow out of her inventory. It was something similar to my <Sword of Mars>, an arrow with an enhanced attribute.

"Water and Wind equal to Ice." Tristan smiled as she knocked her arrow and faced the back of the magic carpet.

Once we escaped from their encirclement, she shouted the skill name.

"<Hundreds Arrow Rain!>"

Pang!

The released arrow didn't leave a green trail like the previous ones. Instead, it left a chilling wind before it broke off into hundreds of ice arrows, going toward the horde of monsters behind me.

Those arrows hit the monsters and blossomed into beautiful ice flowers; each was more than 5 meters wide. Because there were more than a hundred ice arrows, the sky was filled with a bouquet of ice flowers, turning the monsters into a beautiful painting with the blue sky as a canvas.

Unfortunately, those flowers did almost no damage, so we didn't use them earlier. It only worked at times like this to keep monsters from following us. And when it blossomed in the sky, it was bound to fall due to gravity.

"Kiieeekk!!"

"Kiyaaaaakkk!!"

The monsters behind, partially frozen from the chain effect of the ice flowers, fell to the sea one another. Almost all of them were unable to move, and the ones who didn't get caught in the frozen effect also fell to the sea because of the collision.

If they still spread out like when they approached us, they would be safe from collision. Another reason why we plunged straight toward them even though we could kill them one by one slowly. If there was a fast way, then why take a long way?

Anyway, the sky monsters and the sea monsters weren't friendly to each other.

Bam! Splash!

So when those monsters fell to the sky, hell was raised. The sea monsters immediately attacked them, ripping their flesh with sharp teeth and dyeing the sea red. Blue blood also mixed in from the sky monsters' resistance.

However, I didn't watch that spectacle for long.

"There it is."

Because another thing caught my attention, I couldn't help but marvel at the sight, and Tristan also scooted over close to me to watch.

"Beautiful." She exclaimed with glistening eyes. "That's… the World-End Waterfall? It's so wide!"

Before me lay the magnificent World-End Waterfall, a colossal cascade that defied the limits of imagination. It was as if the very sea itself cascaded into the abyss, tumbling into nothingness.

The sheer magnitude of the waterfall was overwhelming. I couldn't see the end of it.

Its waters thundered and roared as they descended into the abyss, creating a deafening symphony that resonated through the air. The spray from the falling water mingled with the salty breeze, engulfing the surrounding area in a mist.

The large flying islands floating above the waterfall looked like a fortress stopping people from getting closer.

Beneath the crashing waters, a vast expanse of emptiness stretched into the horizon. It was a void of infinite depth.

Both of us exclaimed in wonder, unaware of something lurking in that void.

Even with my heightened senses, I could only see a little beneath it. That little something sent a shiver down my spine, and my body began to tremble.

'That thing is bad news!'

"Tristan, we're getting out of here!"

"Huh?!"

She didn't understand why I suddenly shouted, but I didn't have time to explain.

I took out [Teleportation Gems] and pushed one to her palm as we landed on the nearby flying island. I put a magic carpet inside my inventory, saved this place's coordinate to an empty [Teleportation Gem], and shouted once again.

"We're leaving!"

This place was way more dangerous than I had thought. If even my senses told me that we should get away, it meant I wasn't ready yet to go beyond this place.

At least I had gotten a clue of what lay beneath that giant waterfall.

Sensing my serious face, Tristan nodded and activated the [Teleportation Gem], and so did I. Our bodies got enveloped in light, and before we teleported, a notification rang in my head.

[It's not time yet. Enjoy your life to the fullest first.]

It was a warning.
