Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 149 - 150: Yumo’s Suspicions

Witnessing Wilt’s sudden eruption of murderous killing intent like a raging tide, Jei couldn’t help but shudder, his hairs standing on end! But no matter what, he was the Marquis family’s guardian beast! And Yumo’s assigned ’bodyguard’!

For the sake of his bright and beautiful future!

He must protect her!

With this in mind, Jei roared at Wilt with all his might.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!!"

Under the surging magical power and violent lightning, Jei’s claws grew rapidly, turning into razor-sharp blades like those of Wolverine! Then, without any fear, Jei swung his claws to confront Wilt’s ’ Blood Scythe’ head-on!

In an instant, the two ferocious powers collided once again! The terrifying shockwave swept through the entire Wind City! Those who were closer to the Marquis’ residence, with insufficient strength or mental fortitude, were directly knocked unconscious by the aftershock!

However,

Unlike the previous evenly matched situation,

This time,

Wilt’s dark green aura gradually suppressed Jei’s lightning!, Jei’s massive body couldn’t help but retreat under Xiumu’s anxious gaze. Even Jei’s titanium-like lightning-wrapped claws began to crack, with the cracks continuing to spread.

Jei seemed to be gradually losing strength,

While Wilt himself was becoming more and more invigorated, a ferocious smile appearing on his face, his murderous eyes locked on the beautiful silver-haired girl behind Jei!

’Once I deal with this big cat,’

’It’ll be your turn~’

’This time,’

’I won’t disappoint you, Demon Lord!’

’Please watch my performance, Demon Lord!!!’

Under the boost of fanatical faith, Wilt’s power output continued to intensify...

--

Meanwhile, high in the sky,

’Red Star Consecutive Slash!!’

With an inner roar, the energy within Sikta, the captain of the Blizzard Knights, was released without reservation! Wrapped in surging sword energy, his blade swung wildly, attacking the barrier that enveloped wind City with a bombardment of slashes!

At the same time,

The other Blizzard Knights around him also unleashed their most powerful moves against the barrier! The fifth-tier griffins they rode as mounts dared not slack off either, releasing powerful breaths to launch a fierce attack on the barrier!

"Boom! Boom..."

Magnificent flames and dazzling sword light continuously exploded in the sky above Wind City!

However,

No matter how these knights attacked, the crimson barrier remained unscathed! Not even a single crack appeared!

Seeing that his strongest sword technique couldn’t cause any substantial damage, Sikta felt a sense of powerlessness, and his anxiety grew ever stronger!

’Damn it!!’

Thinking of the Marquis under attack and the people of Wind City suffering from the onslaught of the Divine Punishment Sect, while he could only watch helplessly from the outside?! Sikta clenched his sword hilt tightly, and his eyes grew even more solemn.

’This barrier?!’

’What on earth is this?!’

’how is it so strong?!’

"Damn it! Just break already!!!"

Roaring, Sikta could only continue to vent his powerless anger with his soldiers, attacking the barrier relentlessly! However, such output was ultimately useless and merely a waste of energy...

--

On the other hand, in the small woods outside the count Hockdor residence,

The servants and guards of the Hockdor family, along with some members of the Blizzard Knights, were leading a group of noblewomen and children, anxiously fleeing towards the outside! However, the escape was not smooth! Due to the burden of these helpless women and children, their escape speed was far from satisfactory, and a large number of Divine Punishment Sect members quickly caught up from behind!

The guards had no choice but to protect the women and children,

And engage in battle with these frenzied members of the Divine Punishment Sect!

Under such unfavorable combat conditions,

The guards quickly fell into a fierce battle!

Blood splattered, and flesh flew! Many guards were quickly killed under the blades of the enimy members! Although quite a few Divine Punishment Sect members were also killed by the guards, the overall difference in quality meant the guards were soon suppressed.

Annihilation seemed to be only a matter of time.

Blood stained the forest floor,

The cries for help and tears of the children and noblewomen, coupled with the heart-wrenching wails of the guards, formed a symphony of despair and death...

However,

Having long grown accustomed to all kinds of wails, Yumo remained indifferent upon hearing these sounds, her heart incredibly calm, as a knight held her and Xingya while fleeing! By the way, Xingya was the Count’s daughter, the young girl who had previously spoken rudely to Yumo...

"Wuuu... wuuu...!"

Feeling the threat of death, Xingya’s tear ducts completely lost control, and she began to cry loudly!

In comparison to the already wailing Xingya,

Although Yumo looked like a child as well, her expression was so indifferent that it sent chills down one’s spine.

At least, that’s what the knight carrying her thought...

Looking at the calm and composed, completely expressionless Miss Xia, this young member of the Blizzard Knights couldn’t help but reveal a puzzled expression.

"Miss Xia?! Are you alright?!!"

"..."

However, in response to the knight’s worried inquiry, Yumo did not give any reply. Instead, she remained silent, raising her head to gaze at the sky, looking at the massive magic barrier that sealed off the entire City. Yumo’s deep blue eyes slightly narrowed.

Well,

This is quite lively...

Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Yumo couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of confusion welling up inside her.

’Is this the Holy Domain Magic, the Sealing Boundary?’

At this moment, the barrier that surrounded and sealed City was undoubtedly the Holy Domain Magic she was familiar with – a powerful protective barrier that could only be cast with the combined magical power of four strong individuals.

The original magic tome of the ’Sealing Boundary’ was a New Year’s gift from the Dragon race to her. After witnessing the fragility of the Galros Fortress’s barrier, she had been pondering how to reasonably and appropriately share this ultimate defensive magic with human forces. It would certainly be more useful than the original city protection magic!

However,

Why?

She hadn’t yet spread this magic,

How could this long-lost magic on the Ancita continent be used by the Divine Punishment Sect members?!

Of course, it’s not impossible that the ’Sealing Boundary’ was secretly passed down.

But,

At this moment, the Divine Punishment Sect members were not using the ordinary version of the ’Sealing Boundary’, but the enhanced ’Crimson Sealing Boundary’ that had been modified by Kalina(inferno). The original work of this enhanced version was still stored in her treasure vault deep in the Winter Forest...

How…

How these Divine Punishment Sect fellows use this technique??

’What on earth is going on...’

Did Xiao accidentally leak this magic? Or did someone secretly teach this magic to the Divine Punishment Sect members in the forest? Recalling the pill containing Abyss Demon blood she had obtained from the Divine Punishment Sect members...

Yumo narrowed her eyes thoughtfully,

"Those girls,"

"Are they hiding something from me..."

Furthermore,

Casting a glance in the distance, towards the place where Aurora and Romni were fighting, Yumo couldn’t help but narrow her eyes slightly, a complicated emotion surfacing in her deep blue pupils.

Leaving like this,

It doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it...
