Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 168 - 169: The Girl Gone Berserk

another chapter in the way

----------------------------

At this moment, Yuan’er,

Though her body had awakened, her consciousness remained almost entirely in a state of nothingness. She moved only by her own subconscious and the instincts of the abyssal demon. And the instincts of the abyssal demon were to hate all other species! Those without the power of Shadow were their enemies! No, to be precise, even among those with the power of Shadow, the abyssal demons had often engaged in internecine conflicts.

However, compared to their own kind, creatures with other systems of power were more likely to attract the attention of abyssal demons.

In fact, the abyssal demons despised the holy energy more than aura and magic, and their hatred for divine power was unparalleled!

Yuan’er didn’t attack Xiumu partly because her subconscious didn’t want to,

And partly because, at this moment, there was a higher-priority target on the scene!

After killing Benjamin and snapping back to reality, Yuan’er’s attention was drawn to the golden light shimmering in the sky! That rich divine power, that sacred and inviolable golden light, was constantly stimulating Yuan’er’s heart,

Stimulating her instincts,

Making her feel extremely uncomfortable, wishing to destroy it immediately!

For humans, divine power was a warm, heart-healing magical force. However, for abyssal demons with the power of Shadow, this force was like poison! It could cause great harm to them!

-’ Eliminating those pests with divine power is your main task after being reborn~’

In her dreams, those words once again echoed in Yuan’er’s mind,

And with it, the whisper kept repeating,

An intense killing intent, bloodlust, and ferocity erupted from Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes! The black Shadow power around her and the eerie liquid began to boil! Ignoring the non-threatening Xiumu nearby, Yuan’er’s gaze suddenly locked onto the silver figure in the sky!

In the next moment,

Blacklight burst forth! The pink-haired girl leaped up, transforming into a black meteor shooting straight into the sky!

--

On the other side,

Above the sky, due to the sudden attack of the black light, the battle between Wilt and Mengxi was temporarily halted, and both parties’ eyes locked onto the unexpected guest. After all, they couldn’t ignore the sudden appearance of a Demon King-level being.

They could only watch the pink-haired girl cautiously, on guard for her actions.

At the same time,

Mengxi’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed, and a faint trace of dispersion appeared in the golden light radiating from her right eye,

Simultaneously,

Seemingly sensing the anomaly in Mengxi’s body, Sakura inside her couldn’t help but feel uneasy, and asked worriedly, "Mengxi, are you alright?"

Hearing the voice from within,

A bitter smile appeared on Mengxi’s beautiful face,

’Not really good, I suppose.’

The blessing of divine power could bring about a tremendous increase in one’s strength in a short period of time. However, this increase in strength was ultimately borrowed from external forces and not one’s own. Since it was borrowed, there was bound to be a time limit.

Under this mode, one’s soul power would be greatly consumed. When the soul power became insufficient, this mode could no longer be sustained.

With the help of Sister Yumo, Mengxi’s strength had reached the middle of the sixth rank, and her soul power had greatly increased. However, her opponent, the so-called ’Wilt’, the leader of Heavenly Punishment, was no ordinary person. Even after suffering heavy injuries at the beginning, he still retained powerful strength.

At this stage, it was still quite difficult for her to defeat him.

Moreover,

As the battle dragged on, her soul power would gradually be exhausted, while Wilt’s body would gradually recover. Under such circumstances, her chances of winning were becoming increasingly slim...

’I must end the battle as soon as possible...’

However, the arrival of the Demon King completely disrupted Mengxi’s plan. In the absence of knowing whether the other party was friend or foe, Mengxi dared not act rashly, lest she be attacked from both front and rear.

Under normal circumstances,

A Demon King-level being was undoubtedly her enemy.

However,

Due to the precedent set by Sister Yumo, Mengxi wasn’t quite sure if that humanoid Demon King-level being would attack her.

’Maybe I should just choose to retreat?’

Mengxi couldn’t help but ponder, as the moment this Demon King-level girl entered Wind City, she had already shattered the barrier sealing off the area. Retreating now wasn’t impossible...

’Miss Mengxi, let’s retreat for now! Continuing to fight would be detrimental to us! Head towards the Blizzard Knights! Even if Wilt pursues us, we can still fight alongside the knights! As for that cat and Marquis Xiu Mu, you can’t do anything about them now!’

Sakura inside her also advised,

However,

Before Mengxi could respond, a burst of black light suddenly erupted from below!!

In the next instant,

Mengxi’s eyes narrowed sharply! A terrifying black aura rushed towards her!

The black meteor, filled with an extremely powerful and murderous intent, rapidly enlarged in Mengxi’s eyes!

’Not good!’

For a moment, Mengxi was stoked with fear, causing the beautiful silver-haired girl’s body to shiver. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Mengxi had directly faced the terrifying pressure and killing intent brought by a Demon King-level being!

The Demon King-level girl’s strength should be inferior to Wilt’s, but the pressure she gave Mengxi was incomparable to Wilt’s! Moreover, as the black light approached, the golden divine power on her body began to go berserk.

An unprecedented feeling of crisis made Mengxi hold her breath.

However,

Mengxi was ultimately a battle-hardened individual and wouldn’t just sit idly by,

In the next moment,

Mengxi hurriedly swung her sword to block in front of her chest! Considering the speed of her opponent, Mengxi knew she couldn’t dodge and could only brace herself to withstand the incoming attack...

’Polar Star - Defensive Sword Formation!’

Not daring to hold back, Mengxiimmediately unleashed her strongest defensive skill.

In the next instant,

Golden divine power radiated in waves! Ten golden longswords materialized around Meng Xi’s body, and under the guidance of the longsword in her hand, they gathered in front of her chest! A golden shield’s phantom appeared before her!

It faced the black light’s impact head-on!

Originally, the sword array only had four energy swords! But now, under the divine power’s blessing, Mengxi, who had the strength of a peak seventh-tire, successfully summoned ten golden longswords. Undoubtedly, the defense of the sword array had been greatly enhanced.

However, facing Meng Xi’s defense, Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes burst with a fierce light, and the terrifying power of Shadow gathered on her right arm. Under the power’s pull, the black light converged and transformed into a spiral spear!

"Boom!!!"

The black light and golden divine power erupted violently! The wild energy fluctuations and air pressure swept across the city in an instant! The knights who had just entered the city and were preparing to fight the Divan Punishment sect revealed horror on their faces after being hit by the impact,

They all looked at the high-tire powers clashing in the sky with fearful eyes...

’Polar Star - Defensive Sword Array’ was indeed an extremely powerful defensive skill, one of the slightly lesser divine skills taught by Archimedes. However, Mengxi was still a peak seventh-tire, and her power had been greatly weakened after a long battle. Yuan’er, on the other hand, was a true Demon King,

Although she was only fighting with brute force and instinct, her power should not be underestimated...

After a brief clash,

The golden energy sword and shield cracked with countless fissures before shattering into a golden light that filled the sky! Mengxi herself was blown away by the explosion’s impact...

On the other side,

Seeing this scene, Wilt’s face showed a look of ecstasy. After realizing the girl was Yuan’er, he had worried that she would attack him to protect the Marquis’s family. After all, she killed Benjamin as soon as she appeared!

Now it seemed that he might have worried for nothing. No matter who she was before, once she became a Demon King, she was a servant of the Demon lord!

Perhaps? Was it his devout faith that moved the Demon King or the Child of Demon lord to send such a Demon King being to help him?!

Hehe,

’But in any case, now that the Chosen One had been attacked by a Demon King level existence, if i attacked her from behind...’

’i could definitely kill the Chosen One once and for all!’

Thinking of this, Wilt revealed a hideous smile! As the smile appeared, a thick demonic aura gathered around the blood scythe in his hand.

However,

Just as the dark green fighting spirit was gathering,

The pink-haired girl who had just sent Mengxi flying suddenly shuddered, and slowly turned her head to look at Wilt. The killing intent in her red and blue heterochromatic eyes was ice-cold and bone-chilling...

The next moment,

Under Wilt’s shocked gaze, the girl abruptly opened her mouth, and the endless black Shadow power converged within...

Wilt: "Eh?!"
