Naruto: Our Goal Is To Dig Every Corner of Konoha

"Wait, what are you doing?"

They initially thought Hawkwood was planning to take the sword as a memento, but to their shock, Hawkwood turned the large sword around and drove it straight into his own heart.

"I thought I could save the Abyss Watchers, but I didn't expect it to end like this. The Abyss Watchers is finished, and I have no reason to continue existing. From the day I joined the Abyss Watchers, we were a collective, prosper together or fall together. Since the others have already left, I have no reason to continue living!"

Hawkwood's eyes gradually dimmed as he spoke. But all those who tried to help him were stopped by Asahi.

"A person with a dead heart is beyond saving. You should understand this better than I do!"

After stopping Finn and the others, Asahi said. Hawkwood was a member of the Abyss Watchers himself. He left because he didn't want to see his comrades being corrupted by the Abyss and eventually turned into enemies. The Abyss Watchers was always a collective.

Now that everyone else was dead, he naturally did not want to continue living. It was his own choice.

Hawkwood's heart is already dead, so no matter how much they try to save him, it's futile. He is doomed to self-destruction.

"Is he crazy? I can't believe it ended like this. It's really heartbreaking!"

To be honest, Finn was feeling quite distressed, and others were the same. However, no one was hysterical because they had never seen such a situation before, and Orario itself was not a pleasant place.

Orario seemed to be controlled by gods, but the gods did not intervene. Thus, as long as conflicts between adventurers were not discovered by guilds or other families, it didn't matter.

The most obvious case was Ryuu, who worked for the Hostess of Fertility. She was framed by others due to her Familia and ended up alone. To seek revenge, she became a vengeful spirit and was eventually hunted by the guild.

She abandoned her previous identity and became a servant, her strength close to Level 5, having reached the peak of Level 4.

Although such things were rare in Orario, they were not unheard of.

So Finn and the others were very aware that a person with a dead heart could not be saved, no matter what.

"What a pity, but let's bury them all!"

After Finn spoke, everyone nodded in agreement. It wasn't until they moved the bodies that they realized how brutal the battle had been. Some had lost their bodies entirely.

These were people corrupted by the Abyss. They didn't hold back during their attacks, leaving no means untried to kill the opponent. In the end, not even a complete body could be found.

Soon, the group buried the bodies of the Abyss Watchers outside.

They once again lamented the cruelty of this world, realizing that their own world seemed insignificant in comparison. Only harsh environments could highlight beauty.

"What should we do now? The guide is gone, so we'll have to explore on our own!"

After burying the Abyss Watchers, the group found themselves in a predicament. They hadn't expected that exploring on their own would be quite troublesome.

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. The Abyss Watchers is also guarding certain things here, like the."

Asahi pointed forward, and in an instant, the ground cracked open, revealing an entrance leading downward.

This was an underground tomb, where the Overlord Vordt was buried. Vordt's nation had always been besieged on all sides. After defeating the other countries, the Abyss Watchers appeared.

Eventually, the Overlord Vordt was killed by the Abyss Watchers and buried here.

In the game, Vordt is quite formidable, handsome, and exudes a powerful aura. He;s a rather impressive boss. All you need to do is destroy the three bracelets on his arms, and he's done for.

Those bracelets were what prevented him from being corrupted by the Abyss. The underground tomb is filled with monsters, leading to the place where the Old Demon King resides. This map is quite interesting.

"The passage has appeared, but everyone should head back for now. With our current condition, it isn't suitable for further exploration!"

Finn said, and everyone nodded in agreement. After all, Hawkwood had died, and during this time, they had gotten along well with him. His sudden death still had an impact on them.

"Captain, is it really okay to just bury Ottar's body here like this?"

On the way, Tione couldn't help but ask.

"We have no choice. We can't just leave it unattended, but we also can't take it back. Ottar was the strongest in all of Orario. If we bring his body back, who knows what the consequences will be."

"With Ottar's strength, he could descend past the 50th floor on his own, yet he died on the 20th floor."

"And the whole of Orario knows that apart from monsters, only the Loki Familia has the power to kill Ottar. Given his strength, once we return, even without evidence, everyone will assume we killed him!"

"Although some might still suspect that we were involved in Ottar's disappearance, it's just suspicion."

Finn shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring the body back. After all, the Loki Familia was known for its kindness, often helping adventurers out of the dungeon for rescue missions.

Even if they find it convenient, they will bring them back to other Familias to claim.

That's why the Loki Familia had such a strong reputation.

But this didn't apply to Ottar, so Finn had no choice but to act like this. He couldn't understand why Ottar appeared here. Logically, they hadn't leaked any information.

'Why did Ottar end up in this world? Did he discover the passage by chance as well?'

But the probability of that is low. Ottar usually went to the lower floor, and Ais and the others couldn't follow Lefiya down, so they fought with the monsters on the 20th floor.

As a result, this incident occurred. They knew Ottar's appearance was clearly not accidental, and someone carelessly leaked the information.

"Let's go back and ask Loki. She might know something. This information isn't suitable for wide dissemination right now."

Riveria said. Perhaps Loki could provide some answers. After all, some gods do have hidden tricks up their sleeves, though it's unclear what exactly they are.
