Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 856

Polly stared at the grim opening of the abyss above and the dark bottomless hole below. Going up meant certain death, and going down was equally perilous.

What could he do?

All it could do was remain here, singing its sorrowful song, "Tears Behind Bars", occasionally venturing into the abyss to drink from the spiritual springs to sustain itself.

Polly was going back and forth. Unknowingly, it absorbed the aura and transformed it into spiritual energy.

The melancholic melody of "Tears behind bars" grew louder and more impassioned with each rendition.

At the edge of the abyss, high above the pit's opening, the King of Cities stood, listening intently to the faint singing emanating from below, "Iron windows, iron doors, iron chains…"

He remembered that Lilly had a parrot, one of the soul collectors that served the Ruler of Hell, responsible for capturing the souls of birds and beasts in the sky. It seemed that this bird was the one singing.

However, he had no intention of descending into the abyss for a mere bird. Going down the abyss was no easy feat, even for him, as he was one of the Rulers of Hell. He dared not venture down lightly.

Even if one could survive down there, the inability to return to the surface was a terrifying prospect. Who would willingly subject themselves to eternal confinement?

Trapped for countless millennia, hunted and corrupted by the malevolence lurking beneath the abyss until becoming a part of that very anomaly.

A cruel smile spread across the King of Cities' face.

There's no escape for Lilly and that damned Pablo.

"With their current level of strength... it's like looking for death."

Holding Lilly securely in his arms, Pablo soared through the abyss, desperately searching for a temporary hiding place. However, they soon realized that the bottom of the abyss was vast and seemingly boundless.

There was no longer the distinct sound of bones crunching beneath Pablo's feet, causing him to come to a halt. The absence of bones seemed unlikely in Ghost Abyss, where countless bones had sunk over millions of years. Everywhere one went, the bones of the departed should be present.

Taking a moment to collect himself, Pablo peered through the dense barrier of fog and caught sight of powdered remains scattered on the ground. It became clear that the absence of bones was not due to their absence but rather because they had been mercilessly crushed into pieces.

Amidst the thick bones and ashes, there were a series of footprints, back and forth several times... and they belonged to Pablo.

Pablo's lips twitched in disbelief.

He never imagined that a ghost of his size would one day find himself trapped within the Ghost Abyss.

"The Ghost Abyss should never be taken lightly..." Pablo muttered to himself, his gaze shifting to Lilly in his arms.
