Netheril's Glory Chapter 67: Stepping into the Abyss. 

For Punk, the preparation required to enter the endless Abyss was actually not that complicated. He just made some low-level potions, as these potions were more effective against those weaker demons, and because of its mild effects, it would not damage their bodies.

Also, as Punk was from the neutral camp, and the spells he cast were also carried more neutral properties, so in the Abyss, he intended to use as few spells as possible to prevent him from being targeted by demons who were very sensitive to magic. 

Punk prepared five or six bottles of hallucinogenic potions. This highly volatile hallucinogenic potion could make most creatures who inhaled it fell into a deep sleep within seconds, and it was the kind of sleep when the target might not even wake up after being stabbed with a knife. In addition, there were about ten bottles of paralysis potions and five or six bottles of suffocation powder.

Although the effect of these potions would not be as powerful as the purest positive energy potions against the demons, on the one hand, Punk intended to capture some demons alive, and on the other hand, in endless Abyss, usage of positive energy would be too risky. 

Finally, Punk checked the robe on his body. Actually, the usefulness of this robe to Punk was now negligible, as in front of the most official-level spell, short-range teleportation would have almost no effect. So he was planning to get a new official-level magic robe when he returned from this trip to the Abyss. 

Punk put a layer of "protection from evil" on himself. In fact, in addition to this spell, he also wanted to cover himself with a layer of "protection against chaos" to be safer. After all, this kind of conceptual Advent defensive spell could sometimes yield unexpected results. Most of them also had a certain degree of offensive ability, which could be said to be an excellent means to deal with enemies of different camps.

But unfortunately, Punk could not use "Protection against Chaos" on himself.

 It was not until ten minutes ago that he realized that he seemed to belong to the chaotic evil camp. As soon as he cast the protection from chaos, it began to treat Punk himself as the target and started a fierce counterattack. If Punk hadn't been covered himself with the mage armor, he would have been injured by his own spell.

Punk at that time was a little stunned for a while. He used to think in his heart that although he was a "little bit" unlawful and just a "little bit" of profit seeker, he still belonged to the Chaotic neutral camp. Now it seemed that deep in his heart, he was truly an unfettered existence.

But Punk didn't care much about these camp issues. Chaos had its own advantage, and it also meant that those boring rules could no longer restrain his actions. 

Although Punk would lack some defense in this trip to the Abyss, this minor accident was not enough to shake Punk's decision. He filled his robe's pocket with prepared potions as planned and then took out a small piece of gem. Inside it, a lot of negative emotions such as resentment and hatred were sealed. Then he walked to the center of the hall, and precisely drew a spell formation that was filled with a lot of negative energy. 

Punk stood on the edge of the circle and held the gem in the palm of his hand, then began to chant the spell in a fragmented and sharp tone. With the chanting of the incantation, the negative emotions sealed inside the gem slowly flew out and converged in the center of the magic formation that was shining with grays red light. 

After waiting for a full fifteen seconds, the gem in Punk's hand turned into a brown powder and flew away with the wind. A small light spot appeared in the center of the magic formation. And as the light spot slowly expanded, a stench of blood filled the entire White Tower, and large patches of blood stained the hall's ground. The chaotic energy turned into a raging storm in the air, and flashes of lightning strike left burning scars on the surrounding ground.

The portal to the Abyss was open! 

It was not too difficult for Punk to open this portal, as due to the chaotic nature of the Abyss, any portal that led to the Abyss did not require any approval from the will of the Abyss. It could even be said that it would actively weaken the plane barrier at the portal location to give one the green light. The Abyss welcomed any visitors regardless of their motive. 

Because of it, mages were not supposed to open portals close to a city, although due to the limitations of the dimension wall of the Pheren plane, it was impossible for a mage to open the portal for a long time without any special means, and even if the portal was opened, only the creatures with the same strength as the opener could pass through it, and there were also restrictions on the number and volume, but despite all this, it was still very dangerous to open the portal carelessly. For ordinary people, the evil and chaotic demons were simply unreasonable killing machines; even one demon that successfully ran out of the portal could bring a huge disaster, but Punk obviously didn't care about these "little things." 

Punk finally looked at the system prompt about the duration of time the portal would stay open. This portal, which needed almost half of his mana to open, would only last for three hours at most. Punk also set an alarm to remind him to return within this time frame because if he could not return, it was almost impossible to open another portal from the other side unless he was a legendary mage; even then, it was not easy to breach the rigid plane wall of Pheren. 

Punk waved his hand displeasedly, trying to get rid of the foul bloody stench in the air. He patted the potion in the pocket of his robe to confirm that he hadn't forgotten anything and finally stepped into the portal. 

Generally, before entering the portal, a mage would let a servant or summoned creature enter in order to see if there was anyone on the opposite side lying in ambush, but the portal to the Abyss didn't have that trouble, as even If there were demons around, those insane creatures would have already rushed over to fight. So since there was no demon in the portal at the beginning, it proved that there was no demon near the place where the portal opened. 

In his heart, Punk was actually looking forward to the situation where some demon rushed out of the portal entrance; then, on the one hand, he didn't have to go to the Abyss in person, taking this risk; On the other hand, if a group of official-level demons came out, he could have retreated, leaving that troubled mess here.

"I will have to do it myself then." 

Punk felt a feeling of weightlessness during the transmission and muttered to himself indifferently. 

The First Layer of the Abyss was called the Layer of ten thousand entrances. 

The Layer of ten thousand entrances was the top of countless levels of the endless Abyss. It was a barren land with no birds or vegetation but only sand. The entire Layer of ten thousand entrances was scorching hot as the crimson sun always stayed in the sky. There were three types of landforms in this barren land: surface with huge cracks, bloody and dusty corpse mounds left by the great demons after their death, and the rotten and dirty river Styx. 

These huge cracks in the top Layer were the entrance to the deeper layers. If one followed the corresponding crack, they would soon reach the relevant Layer, but it was extremely dangerous to jump into those cracks that lead to an unfamiliar layer of this endless Abyss. 

Although most cracks had two-way entrances, some were only one-way. And those one-way no-return paths would leave the poor traveler trapped in an unknown layer. 

The endless Abyss was considered infinite. So although there were as many as six hundred and sixty-six levels known, there were still many more terrifying deep levels that had not been yet discovered. 

Now, in the scorching heat of the blood-red sun, in this ancient chaotic land, a young mage had quietly set his foot!
