Chapter 288: Unusual Movements in the Abyss

For lunch, Donald ate with Catherine, Arthur, and the half-orc. The temptation of delicious food made the two who had been living a rough life unable to resist their cravings. Half-orcs were excellent chefs, and after tasting the novel dishes from Lord Donald’s manor, they marveled at them for a while before saying regretfully, “This cooking style is almost as good as that of a half-orc! It’s just that the chefs who prepared these dishes lack some skill. If I were to cook them myself, I could create something so wonderful that even the gods would praise it!”

Hearing Dobbi’s words, Donald thought that ancient archmages had once employed many half-orcs as chefs and provided protection to their weak combat abilities, proving that half-orcs indeed had extraordinary culinary talents. So, he said thoughtfully, “Oh? Then are you interested in becoming my personal chef?”

Dobbi tilted his head and asked, “What are the benefits?”

Donald chuckled. “Being my chef brings many benefits! I am not only the lord of this vast land of Dalaran, a hereditary human noble, but also a Grand Archmage and an honorary member of the Elven Council. Such status surely deserves your culinary skills, right?”

Dobbi nodded, agreeing that Donald’s words made sense. “And most importantly, I’ve invented many new cooking methods that haven’t existed in this world. You can see this from the food in my manor. Moreover, I have plenty of fresh and delicious ingredients for you to use!”

The half-orc’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. The ingredients he had tasted that day were indeed very fresh and tasty. Donald continued, “Additionally, I have an island territory along the eastern coast, filled with seafood that can be transported by alchemical airships. It can be kept fresh in less than a day. I’m sure you, who’ve always lived in the lowlands, haven’t tasted the true flavor of seafood yet.”

Hearing this, Dobbi couldn’t think of any reason to refuse. He immediately exclaimed, “Alright, I agree! Let me go to the kitchen right away!” The half-orc was eager to learn those secret recipes and improve his cooking skills.

After lunch, Arthur stayed in the kitchen with Dobbi, while Donald was taken by Catherine to the villa on the island in Moonlight Lake.

By the time he left the realm to head to the Totem Continent, the villa here had already been partially completed. During the few months Donald was away, Catherine, in her free time, arranged for people to carefully decorate the villa.

Moonlight Lake was just a few miles away from Dusk Town, and its beautiful scenery could be seen from high vantage points in the town. Since Donald, a famous figure, built a recreational park by the lake, Moonlight Lake had become a must-visit attraction for both locals and visitors from other places in Dalaran.

Amidst vibrant flowers and lush vegetation, there were children’s play facilities such as swings, slides, and seesaws. Not only did children enjoy them, but even adults wanted to give them a try! There were also brain-teasing games suitable for all ages, such as magic chess and adventure games.

The most popular among these facilities were the water bridge that tested balance and skill, as well as the artificial rock climbing course. Even those with bronze or silver-level strength were unsure whether they could successfully complete the most difficult tasks. The rules of these games prohibited the use of sword energy, spells, or any external equipment; one had to rely solely on their own abilities. Many skilled adventurers used these games as training tools and even developed betting-style competitions, with winners receiving generous prizes.

Due to the high rewards, several accidents had occurred. Since Donald was not around at those times, it was William who came up with a solution by placing the competition organizers in the lord’s mansion and sending experts from the Adventurers’ Guild to ensure fairness. This basically prevented unwanted incidents while bringing excitement and joy to the realm.

All of this gave Donald a sense of familiarity, as if it were reminiscent of the amusement parks and water parks from his past life.

Compared to the hustle and bustle by the lake, the villa on the island in the middle of the lake was very quiet. The exquisitely beautiful manor buildings, set against the backdrop of the lake’s waters, along with lush green trees and flowers, created a truly magnificent scene.

In Donald’s past life, such a manor villa would surely be a luxury residence that the wealthy and powerful would pay exorbitant prices to acquire!

Leaving aside Donald relaxing and enjoying the manor on the island with his companions, let’s turn our attention to the 66th layer of the Abyssal Depth—a realm of demonic webs.

In the dark temple, eerie green flames burned. On a throne that was twenty feet wide, two figures were locked in fierce combat. Though called a throne, it actually resembled a wide stone bed.

Next to her were two tall, strong, and handsome dark elf men, who watched with envy the lucky guy charging forward, while they could only accompany him by touching his naked, muscular body to satisfy their own desires.
“Mm… harder, you’re doing well!”
Soft murmurs were accompanied by the men’s low roars.
“Oh… my Queen, you’re so beautiful, so wonderful…”
Pfft!
“Ah…” “Ugh…”
Watching the man charging beneath her, the beautiful goddess smiled wickedly and pointed at the two strong men beside her who had no chance and could only comfort themselves. A lewd red glow spread throughout the hall, instantly stimulating the two handsome men, who cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain as their bodies convulsed violently, spewing streams of semen.
The semen released by the strong men covered the goddess’s body, making it appear even more lustful against her flawless form, filling the entire palace with an eerie atmosphere.
Stimulated by this, the man beneath her had his crimson skin ripple with muscles as his pleasure reached its limit, and the sound of his ejaculation could be heard from afar.
After the passion, the three strong men collapsed at the foot of the throne, too exhausted to move even a finger, gasping for breath.
Looking down at the three men she had conquered, the spider queen, who had just ended a fierce battle, sat naked on her throne with a satisfied expression.
These three were among the concubines she had raised, some of the best. Drawn by the will of the abyss and driven by their own resentment, the spider queen mastered evil divine domains such as greed and lust, making her desires particularly strong—comparable even to those of the most lustful demons.
However, the spider queen, who always believed in the superiority of women, would not use her body to tempt and please men like demons. Instead, these men were her servants, including powerful demi-gods.
Indeed, only strong men of the gold rank or above could withstand the spider queen’s assaults; otherwise, judging by the amount of semen those three had ejaculated, it seemed such an encounter would drain them of their very essence.
“How is the operation in the main world progressing?”

The red-skinned man who had just exerted the most effort, releasing nearly one-third of his body’s volume in liquid, replied, “Three interdimensional passages have been opened. The others are guarded by human warriors, so it’s difficult to act suddenly without alerting them!”
“Good work, Ansp. This time, it’s up to you to handle it. You must bring that godless human man back. I want him to suffer the most painful punishment. Once he’s back, I’ll give you the reward you desire! Go!”
The red-haired, muscular Ansp appeared grateful and excited on the surface, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Then, completely naked and with his impressive large member swinging, he left the queen’s palace.
Once outside the temple gates, Ansp’s appearance changed drastically—he transformed from a nine-foot-tall muscular man into a 15-foot-tall humanoid monster. With a single movement, he disappeared into the distance.
If a mage skilled in demonology were to see him in this form, they would surely scream in shock.
Beneath his red skin were strong, bulging muscles; behind him were broad, bat-like wings; his hands had ferocious claws; his feet had hooves like those of cattle or sheep; and his smiling mouth revealed sharp fangs.
This was clearly one of the supreme existences among higher demons—the Abyssal Demon Forger.
