Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 170:chapter 171 : saving the day

--

The black light shimmered, and the power of the shadows rapidly gathered in a spiral between Yuan’er’s hands! The ’black beam’ had yet to be released, but the energy fluctuations it produced were already enough to make one’s heart tremble. Not only Mengxi, but also the ordinary people below, who were fleeing while gazing at the sky, the city guard, and the members of the Divine Punishment Sect all revealed expressions of horror!

Anyone with perception ability,

Would probably feel the endless energy contained in that black light,

For a moment, the deepest fear within their hearts was evoked! Even those who truly believed in the Abyssal Demon of the Divine Punishment Sect couldn’t help but feel terrified, after all, this was a genuine threat of death...

However,

Just as Yuan’er was about to release all the accumulated power of the shadows in her hands and completely obliterate Mengxi below,

Dozens of blood-colored butterflies suddenly appeared beside the girl.

The sudden appearance of the blood butterflies undoubtedly startled Yuan’er! Although she couldn’t tell what the blood butterflies were, the aura of the shadows surrounding them still made Yuan’er feel quite familiar. Instinctively, the pink-haired girl’s attention was drawn to these blood-colored butterflies,

And just as she was momentarily stunned, an inconspicuous red beam suddenly came from a distance, hitting the center of the black energy sphere without deviation!

In an instant,

The sphere, which had gathered countless shadows, suddenly began to vibrate unstably, and the entire sphere started to distort! Obviously, this power began to go out of control. Feeling that the sphere was no longer under her control, Yuan’er hurriedly withdrew her attention from the blood butterflies and tried to stabilize the power!

However, it was too late.

Under the guidance of the red light beam, her black beam condensed from the black shadows erupted ahead of time!

But,

The direction of the attack was not Mengxi and the Wind City below, but the sky...

"Boom, boom~"

Accompanied by the earth-shattering roar, the black light raged, the space distorted, and the terrifying black beam shot straight into the sky! In an instant, the dark clouds that had been covering the sky for thousands of miles disappeared under the intense heat of her skill! The Wind City, hidden under these dark clouds, finally saw the light of day once again!

Seeing that her did not fall but struck the sky, the panicked people below finally let out a sigh of relief and fell to their knees,

However,

At the same time they were relieved, the feeling of confusion suddenly emerged in their minds

’Why?’

’Why would that humanoid Abyssal Demon suddenly attack the sky??’

’On the other hand,’

Seeing Yuan’er’s attack neutralized, Mengxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before she could catch her breath, the aftershocks generated by the release of the pink-haired girl’s skills came crashing down, directly hitting Mengxi’s body. Now that she had returned to the middle stage of the sixth rank, her strength had dropped significantly, and with the weakness of her body, even the aftershocks of the eighth-rank attack were hard for her to resist.

The little remaining divine energy, which had been trying to keep her suspended in the air, suddenly dispersed under the impact of the aftershocks...

The next moment,

Mengxi, now without the protection of her power, abruptly fell towards the Wind City below!

"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!! Miss Mengxi, hurry, hurry and ask for help! Ask for the Goddess’s help! We’re going to die, we’re going to die!! Hurry and call the Goddess’s name three times, now is the time!!"

Seeing Mengxi starting to fall rapidly,

Little Sakura, hidden within her body, was immediately enveloped by a terrified emotion. After all, Mengxi’s body was so fragile at the moment, and her power was almost exhausted. If she fell, she would likely die on impact.

"Mengxi, hurry!"

The anxious Little Sakura continued to shout,

However,

At this moment, Mengxi didn’t give any response, but instead looked thoughtfully at the sky. Her eyes, which had turned back to a pale purple, slightly narrowed, and right in the center of her vision was a blood-colored butterfly dancing gracefully.

The next moment,

Accompanied by a ripple of crimson light,

A slender, delicate, and tender jade hand stretched out and directly grasped Mengxi’s wrist. At the same time, countless blood-colored butterflies took flight, holding Mengxi’s body from below. And just like that, Mengxi, who was supposed to be falling rapidly, came to a halt in midair...

At the same time,

An anxious and concerned voice suddenly rang beside Mengxi’s ear,

"Are you... are you okay!?"

As the wonderful, heartwarming voice of a young girl entered her ears, Mengxi’s lips involuntarily curled up slightly, and she slowly raised her head, looking at the black-haired woman wearing a veil who had appeared above her without her knowing when,

’Ah, you are finally here, Sister Yumo~’

Although she was not sure why the other party only intervened now, after hearing the concern and apprehension in Miss Yumo’s words, Mengxi still felt a touch of warmth.

As the Daughter of Destiny, and possessing such an exceptionally beautiful face,

Mengxi had heard countless ’concerned’ words since her memory began.

There were those forced out by the influence of divine energy, showing care,

And there were also false concerns spoken out of flattery...

Mengxi had long grown tired of these words. But at this moment, the silver-haired girl was certain that the worry in the black-haired girl’s words was completely different from the previous ones,

It was a genuine concern...

Although she was ’somewhat’ injured and it hurt a bit, it wasn’t bad to see Sister Yumo with this expression...

--

The black-haired girl, who was our Yumo,

After saving Mengxi by diverting Yuan’er’s attack, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Regarding the battle between Mengxi and Wilt,

Yumo had actually been watching from afar for quite some time, and there were two main reasons why she hadn’t stepped in to help earlier. One was that she hoped Mengxi, who was possessed by divine power, could defeat the weakened Wilt on her own. Doing so would not only complete a trial mission but also the experience of defeating an eighth-tire magician would bring significant growth to Mengxi.

It was a win-win situation!

Of course, the more important reason was,

the moment, Mengxi’s body was engulfed in a strong divine power. That power was undoubtedly strong, but it could mysteriously arouse the ferocity within Yumo’s abyssal demon body! This made the user of the power of the Shadow instinctively feel a strong sense of disgust. Even Yumo herself, after feeling the golden divine power, couldn’t help but smash her head against two buildings to suppress the strange killing intent within her heart!

The force that erupted during the impact, and the killing intent that overflowed from her body, even directly caused dozens of passing members of the Divine Punishment Sect to collapse on the spot.

If she had gone to help Mengxi at that time,

She was afraid she would not be able to control herself...

It was precisely because of this,

When Yuan’er launched an attack on Mengxi, Yumo felt a great sense of foreboding. After all, Yuan’er was a demon king in her prime! She was in no way comparable to the severely injured Wilt. Mengxi fighting Yuan’er now was like seeking her own death.

Although she was anxious, Yumo didn’t dare to approach and could only think about using long-range attacks to stop Yuan’er’s actions...

Fortunately,

The divine power on Mengxi seemed to have reached its limit and dispersed very timely,

Without having to worry about the influence of divine power, Yumo was finally able to intervene with peace of mind, stopping Yuan’er’s attack and saving Mengxi from falling from the sky...

She even couldn’t help but ask about Mengxi’s condition,

"Are your injuries severe? dose it hurt?"

While asking,

Yumo habitually hugged Mengxi in her arms, asking with concern,

However,

After involuntarily asking, Yumo’s words came to an abrupt halt! Yumo suddenly remembered that she and Mengxi should be considered strangers who had never met before!

Such direct questioning might make the other party feel very strange.

The current Mengxi was not the little girl from the Winter Forest back then.

’Really, as soon as I return to this form, I almost forget to act...’

Yumo couldn’t help but shake her head in embarrassment,

’Wait a minute? Something’s not right?’

In an instant, as if realizing something, Yumo suddenly frowned,

’This is our first meeting, right? And my current energy is that of an abyssal demon, isn’t it? Why... why is she so calm??’

Looking at the silver-haired girl in her arms, who calmly stared back at her, Yumo suddenly felt an inexplicable guilt...
