Reborn from Chaos: Chronicles of the Chicana Clã

Chapter 29: Blood on Snow, Pride, and the Fall of the Monarch



Blood on Snow, Pride, and the Fall of the Monarch

Upon leaving the neutral zone, Danilo Chicana stepped once more into the first floor of the Abyss.

The heavy air wrapped around him like a filthy blanket, but now something had changed.

A soft green light pulsed in the air, dancing in spirals before his eyes, as if calling to him.

— Huh? — he murmured, frowning in confusion.

Before he could even ask a question, the system replied in its usual bored tone:

— All powerful artifacts possess a spirit. The Primordial Farm is trying to communicate.

— Spirit? What do you mean... an actual spirit? — Danilo raised an eyebrow.

— Spirit. Consciousness. Soul. Call it whatever you want. They are entities bound to the core of artifacts that surpass Duke rank.

At that moment, Danilo remembered the Chaos Sword — his chaotic weapon.

Always silent. Always cold. It had never manifested anything.

— Then why does the Chaos Sword feel like a useless piece of iron? — he said mockingly.

— It's weakened. It was used to seal the Dark Monarch, and it did so for ages. Its energy was drained. And the zone where the seal was placed is special.

Danilo's face turned serious.

— Special zone? What kind of zone is that?

— The host is too weak to know — the system replied with that indifferent tone that always pissed him off.

— Same bullshit as always... — he growled, irritated.

The floating green light descended gently, guiding him to the corpses of the knights he had defeated earlier.

As he approached, the bodies were sucked in, disintegrating into particles that flew straight into the now intensely glowing Primordial Farm.

— The Farm absorbs corpses. Converts them into nutrients and energy. It can evolve crops and animals.

— Hahahaha... so I can raise chaotic-level pigs and eat chaos bacon? — he said with a greedy grin.

— The Farm can evolve up to Super God level at most. Chaotic level is out of reach.

— Tsk... trash farm, he snorted, pretending to be unimpressed — but inside, he was grinning like a devil.

He looked around and saw strange-looking plants and trees — black leaves, silver stems, floating thorns. Some pulsed with living mana.

Without overthinking, he gave the order:

— Kiala, pull everything out! — he said with a greedy gleam in his eyes.

He didn't know what the plants were for, but with the farm, it was best to plant them and figure it out later. The farm had nearly infinite space, after all — nothing to lose.

She simply smiled and nodded. Within seconds, they had uprooted plants, flowers, roots.

The Farm greedily absorbed everything, and soon began planting them automatically.

— Marvelous… — Danilo said, looking at the Farm and then at Kiala.

But the mission couldn't wait.

He looked at the floating panel of the Opportunity Leaf — time was ticking. He needed to reach the tenth floor in just a few hours.

— System, I want to ascend directly. — he said firmly.

— Confirmed. Proceeding to Floor Two...

❄️ Second Floor – Lands of Eternal Snow

The moment he arrived, a brutal cold slashed at his skin like razor blades.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of ice, and howling winds roared between jagged cliffs.

— What the fck... this place was made by a lunatic. This wasn't meant for humans!* — he shouted, his body trembling despite his internal energy.

Around him, the floor's monsters began to appear:

Danilo's eyes widened. There were 60 monsters, double the usual number.

— What the hell is this? Why so many?

— You're not alone, genius, said the system.

— Enemy count increases proportionally to the number of allies.

He looked to the side.

Kiala was at his side — her gaze as pure as crystal, but the power within her was like a hidden tide.

— Fine then... Monarch! Full massacre.

⚔️ The Battle – Violence Beneath the Ice

Kiala struck first.

Like a black lightning bolt with golden antlers, she pierced through a Blizzard Wraith.

-10,300

She tore its soul apart with living shadows. A scream of pain echoed.

Danilo proudly watched her status panel.

The Frost Bears charged with icy fists — then suddenly froze, as if time itself had stopped.

Kiala circled them with lethal grace, decapitating one with a shadow whip and blowing another apart with a golden sphere.

-10,300

-10,300

-10,300

Corpses fell like leaves in a storm.

— Hahaha! Go, my love! — Danilo shouted proudly, gripping his Chaos Sword, as the souls of the monsters were drawn into it.

Four Marquises, twenty-two Counts, and thirty-four Barons fell before her like paper.

Danilo held back his laughter, bursting with pride.

— Damn... look at this woman... Worthy of being Danilo Chicana's wife!

But then, the system spoke coldly:

— Oh, by the way. Turns out Kiala Afonso is still at Chaotic level. I forgot to scale her down...

Suddenly, Kiala stumbled, as if something heavy pressed on her body.

— Kiala?! — Danilo rushed to her. A terrible feeling hit him. He checked her status panel, and what he saw nearly gave him a heart attack.

Status Panel – Kiala Chicana

(Skills remain unchanged)

— WHAT THE HELL, SYSTEM?! No, no, no, this can't be happening!

— She is now at Emperor level. World coherence must be preserved. Even you aren't at her original level.

— What?! — he growled.

— She is still your subordinate. But a Chaotic-level being on this floor breaks the tower's logic.

Danilo clenched his fists, looking at the mountain of corpses she had created in just minutes.

— Even restricted... she's still a monster, he muttered, resigned.

Kiala approached, breathing slightly heavier.

— Master, I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful, she said, her eyes glowing with guilt.

— Don't worry. The world envies the talented — and sadly, we're just too damn talented, he said with disguised affection.

She smiled shyly.

On the ground, the corpses were being absorbed by the Farm again, transforming into purified green energy that vanished into the air.

Once more, he ordered the uprooting and planting of all nearby vegetation.

Danilo smirked, glancing up at the tower's sky.

— Second floor... cleared. The Abyss is mine.

— And no one will stop me.
