Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 169 - 170: Whispers in the Dream

"Huh?!"

’What is this, what is this?!’

’Not good!!’

The moment Wilt was locked in by Yuan’er’s icy gaze, he felt that something was amiss and hurriedly tried to mobilize his magical power for defense! However, it was too late. The moment Wilt started to mobilize his magical power, Yuan’er’s attention was temporarily focused on him!

Although Meng Xi, who possessed divine power, made Yuan’er resentful, Wilt, who had an overwhelming magical power within him and had reached the eighth rank, also made her feel uncomfortable.

At the time Wilt was gathering his power,

Yuan’er instinctively sensed a hint of danger, even though Wilt’s target wasn’t her.

In The next instant,

A cold light suddenly burst from Yuan’er’s heterochromatic pupils! The girl opened her mouth wide! The gathered power of the Shadows within her body rushed out, venting her anger towards the leader of the Punishment Sect, Wilt!

In a split second,

The darkness surged,

The black light, condensed from the power of the Shadow, was released from Yuan’er’s mouth at an unexpected speed! It charged towards Wilt with an unstoppable momentum! As for Wilt, he was utterly unprepared for Yuan’er’s attack and had no time to make an effective defense. The black beam, filled with the power of destruction, rapidly enlarged in his eyes!

"Damn it!"

With a resentful roar, the beam hit Wilt squarely!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the black light raged! The protective magical power that enveloped Wilt instantly crumbled! Subsequently, the black beam completely unleashed its owner’s fury upon Wilt’s abdomen!

In an instant, blood splattered, and Wilt’s abdomen was torn open by the surging black beam! The remaining black light shot straight into the sky! The terrifying pressure spread out violently in all directions!

The northern armies, who were rushing to support Wind City, couldn’t help but shudder as they saw the soaring black light...

With the dissipation of the black beam,

The blood-spitting Wilt, with shocked and unwilling eyes, was directly blasted into the sky by the overwhelming aftermath of her skill. He drew a beautiful blood-red parabola in the air and then fell miserably toward the outskirts of the city...

--

On the other side,

Watching the Punishment Sect leader, who was caught off guard and half-dead after taking a hit from Yuan’er, Mengxi was also shocked,

’What’s going on with this girl...’

’Yuan’er,’

’Is she the daughter of the Marquis family?’

’Why, why is it the Marquis family again? The little girl transformed by Sister Yumo is from the Marquis family, and now this girl who became a Demon king is also from the Marquis family?’

’Is it just a coincidence?’

’Could it be that the seemingly naive and easily deceived Sister Yumo is secretly planning something?’

Numerous questions emerged in Mengxi’s mind. However, perhaps it was a girl’s sixth sense that, while watching the rampaging black light and the crazed pink-haired girl enveloped in the darkness, Mengxi felt that this girl named Yuan’er becoming a Demon king definitely had something to do with Sister Yumo...

However,

Mengxi currently didn’t have the energy to delve deeper into this issue.

Because, after Wilt was blasted away, Mengxi slightly panicked when she found that Yuan’er’s gaze had locked onto her once again.

"Damn it..."

At this moment, Mengxi couldn’t help but curse inwardly,

And as she had anticipated, Yuan’er turned into a beam of black light again, rolling up an endless force of shadow, and with a towering momentum, it suddenly swept towards her! The terrifying pressure coming head-on made her hold her breath, and her eyes, one gold and one purple, were filled with solemnity.

Now,

The blessing of divine power was about to reach its limit, which could be considered Mengxi’s only chance to fight against Yuan’er.

Thinking of this, Mengxi tightly gripped the longsword in her hand,

Almost all of the divine power in her body was constantly converging on the longsword at this moment. In an instant, ripples of golden light emanated from the sword’s body, and a dense murderous aura was released from it!

Although Mengxi was completely suppressed in terms of momentum, with the divine power’s ability to attack the abyssal demon, she was not without a chance of victory.

Stabilizing her inner anxiety and maintaining a completely calm state, Mengxi focused intently on the black light that was assaulting her, watching every move of the pink-haired girl closely.

The more she faced crisis, the more she needed to remain calm,

Yuan’er’s momentum was fierce, but she seemed to lack the necessary combat skills, always charging recklessly like a headstrong youth, with a clearly visible attack path.

In the next moment,

The silver-haired girl seized the opportunity, and her eyes, one gold and one purple, suddenly narrowed,

The longsword wrapped in golden light in her hand was suddenly swung out, directly slashing toward Yuan’er!

However,

Facing the attack enveloped in divine power, Yuan’er still showed no signs of stopping her charge, even without making any defensive moves, she just slammed straight into Mengxi’s sword blade! This couldn’t help but make Mengxi feel puzzled, but now that things had come to this point, she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and use all her strength to strike down.

In a split second, golden light burst forth in the sky,

Under the embrace of divine power, the sword streaked across Yuan’er’s petite body!

"What... what is this?!"

However, Mengxi soon discovered, to her surprise, that the scene she had imagined of Yuan’er being seriously injured did not occur. Indeed, her sword, wrapped in golden holy light, had cut directly across Yuan’er’s waist, and Yuan’er had indeed been split in two!

But, there was not a trace of blood on the pink-haired girl’s injured area; instead, there was a cluster of bizarre black light at the waist where the cut was made. On the girl’s pretty and enchanting face, there was no sign of pain either, as if she could not feel it.

In the next moment,

Under Mengxi’s astonished gaze, with the reintegration of the black light at the severed area, Yuan’er’s body, which had been split in two, merged back into one. On her smooth abdomen, there was not a trace of any injury.

"Has this girl’s body... become elemental?!"

Before Mengxi could even let out a sound of surprise, Yuan’er’s attack followed!

In an instant, it seemed as if to return the favor, a fist wrapped in black light fiercely struck Mengxi’s abdomen. Although Mengxi quickly withdrew her longsword to block her abdomen, she still couldn’t avoid being seriously injured!

"Boom!!"

The violent force of the shadows collided once more with the dazzling divine light! Under the flickering black light, the golden light suddenly shattered!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a ’crack’, the divine power on Mengxi’s sword dissipated with a loud noise, and the sword blade broke in response! Losing the resistance of her weapon, Yuan’er’s fist drove straight in, striking Mengxi’s abdomen and, unsurprisingly, breaking through Mengxi’s protective golden light!

The intense impact sent Mengxi soaring into the sky, severe pain rushing into the silver-haired girl’s mind, and blood uncontrollably sprayed from her mouth!

Moreover,

What made Mengxi feel even more uneasy was that with the last strike ending in failure and taking Yuan’er’s iron fist, the divine power on Mengxi’s body suddenly vanished! Her strength went from the peak of the seventh rank back to the middle of the sixth rank! Facing an eighth-rank demon king with the strength of the sixth-rank middle stage was undoubtedly a path to self-destruction...

The dissipation of Mengxi’s power,

Did not make Yuan’er stop her attack,

Under the guidance of instinct, Yuan’er had already regarded Mengxi as a target that must be killed,

The moment Mengxi was sent flying, the black force of the shadows suddenly transformed into dark wings, causing Yuan’er’s speed to soar dramatically! And with a speed invisible to the naked eye, she arrived above Mengxi in an instant!

At the same time,

In the dream, the echoing words in her mind seemed to resound once again,

’Those who possess divine power are our enemies! We must kill her!’

With the echoing of the voice in her head, Yuan’er’s small mouth couldn’t help but open slightly,

’Must... kill... kill with all my might...’

As soon as the words fell,

The black energy, like a ferocious beast breaking free from its chains, was released wildly from Yuan’er’s body!

The pink-haired girl suddenly raised both hands, and the endless force of the shadows converged between her hands, gradually forming a terrifying light sphere filled with world-destroying power, and this sphere was still rapidly expanding! The energy contained within it was incalculable!

Once Yuan’er released this skill,

Not to mention Mengxi, even the entire Wind City below would likely be reduced to nothingness...

’Now... this is really bad...’

Gazing at the destructive energy that was about to bombard her, Mengxi’s beautiful face unconsciously revealed a bitter smile,

And just when Mengxi felt helpless,

Several blood-red butterflies suddenly entered the silver-haired girl’s field of vision...

Huh?!

What... what is that?

’ sister Yumo’s butterflies?’
