Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 176 - 177: "..."

Demon king tier abyssal demons are terrifying beings born after absorbing the power of Demon Temple,

They are also the faithful servants of the Demon lord,

As servants, these beings should eliminate all threats for the Demon lord! Especially this so-called ’protagonist group’!

’then why…, why?’

’You are obviously an abyssal demon, even at demon king stage?! Yet you’re now blocking my attack, saving that Girl of Destiny?!’

’Is this a joke?!’

Wilt’s heart was roaring wildly,

His dark green eyes stared intently at the dangerously beautiful black-haired girl not far away, waiting for her answer.

However,

Facing Wilt’s somewhat hysterical question, the black-haired girl, our Yumo, just tilted her head indifferently, glanced at the unconscious silver-haired girl behind her, and looked at Wilt with disdain,

"Enemy? Sorry!?, I don’t see her as an enemy."

"Not? Not as an enemy? She possesses divine power! She’s a natural enemy of you abyssal demons!"

"Yeah, so what if she...?!"

Just as Yumo was about to reply, the girl’s brow suddenly furrowed,

She quickly turned to look behind her,

At this moment, another dark green energy python burst forth! It directly lunged at the sleeping Mengxi!

Seeing this, Yumo was slightly surprised.

’This guy?’

’Distracting me with conversation, then taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?’

Realizing this, a trace of anger appeared in Yumo’s crimson eyes.

Wilt, with wind attribute magic, had an attack speed beyond ordinary, but there was still a gap compared to Yumo. In the next moment, accompanied by the flickering of crimson lights, Yumo teleported behind Mengxi, picked her up, and jumped back, dodging the python’s attack.

Then hundreds of bloody butterflies swarmed up, instantly annihilating the dark green energy python.

After briefly confirming that Mengxi was unaffected, Yumo breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on her face temporarily dissipating. She then placed Mengxi beside a broken stone pillar.

"I say…., are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Yumo looked at Wilt with some irritation,

On the other side,

Seeing the sneak attack fail, Wilt clenched his fists in frustration! At the same time, the leader of the Divine Punishment Sect noticed the subtle change in the black-haired girl’s expression, which made Wilt feel even angrier,

At the same time, Wilt came to a conclusion in his heart,

"You protect that woman so much, and you’re so worried about her. As expected, you’ve already betrayed the Demon lord..."

"What kind of betrayal?"

When this retard mentions "Demon Lord," is he referring to me?

’Betraying myself?’

Yumo couldn’t help but roll her eyes,

"Please, strictly speaking, the Demon lord you believe in is me, okay? How could I..."

"Nonsense!"

However, before Yumo could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Wilt’s angry scolding,

"Haha, the Demon lord described by the Child of Demon lord is tall, brave, strong, and has three heads and six arms. How could it be a little girl like you?! Moreover, the goal of the Demon lord is to purify this filthy world, and to do so, she must eliminate the Chosen Ones who oppose her! How could she possibly save the Girl of Destiny?! You traitor, don’t try to deceive me with such a lame lie!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yumo’s mood became slightly complicated,

’Three heads and six arms, huh...’

’The Child of Demon lord, huh?’

’Haha...’

Yumo’s face darkened slightly,

"Believe it or not..."

As Yumo snorted coldly, Wilt also quietly observed the girl in front of him. Then, Wilt slowly revealed a look of sudden enlightenment,

"I see, I understand now..."

"What do you understand?"

"Judging by your appearance, you don’t have any traits of other races, no tail, and no wings or anything like that. You should be an abyssal demon transformed purely from a human, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yumo narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity.

’Indeed,’

After transforming into humans, the demon king tier children would retain some characteristics of their original forms, such as Limo’s tail and ears, and Liyu’s wings, and Shuoyue’s eyes...

’But how did he know all this? And how could he use this information to deduce my true form?’

’Plus, this guy didn’t show any surprise at seeing a human-shaped abyssal demon before.’

If my guess is correct, this person had seen other demon king beings, and even their human forms...

As for,

Abyssal demons transformed from humans?

In a sense, I guess I am...

Seeing Yumo’s silence, Wilt seemed to think his guess was accurate,

"Since you’re not talking, is that an admission? Haha, did your human rationality make you hostile to abyssal demons, ultimately choosing to betray the Demon lord? Then, by helping the Girl of Destiny, you hope to defeat the Demon lord and eventually return to human society?"

At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Wilt’s face,

"Haha. How naive. Humans, or rather the degenerates of the Asumos Church, might coexist peacefully with you for a while for the sake of interests, but they’re just using you. They’ll definitely try every means to drain your value! Just like those terrifying experiments, even if you can survive! Once humans completely defeat the abyssal demons, they will still discard you. You won’t end well."

At the same time, Wilt’s gaze shifted to the silver-haired girl protected by Yumo behind her,

"As for that Girl of Destiny, do you think she’ll be grateful to you just because you saved her once? No, she won’t! The very existence of these so-called Chosen Ones is to eliminate abyssal demons! Their hostility towards abyssal demons is deeply rooted. When she wakes up, she will still strike at you with her sword!"

"..."

"Miss Blood Butterfly, don’t indulge in unrealistic fantasies. Choosing to help the Girl of Destiny will only lead to your own destruction! You’ve become a Demon King tier being, which means the Demon lord has chosen you! Cherish this opportunity and turn back! Don’t protect the Girl of Destiny anymore! Return to the embrace of the Demon lord, and there will still be a place for you in the new world. Moreover, if you’re willing, your family and friends can also enter the new world and enjoy a life of wealth and honor! Come on, Miss Blood Butterfly, don’t be stubborn."

As he spoke, Wilt even reached out his right hand to Yumo, making an inviting gesture,

In his eyes,

The girl in front of him might have just made some foolish decisions after becoming an abyssal demon, unable to accept the truth. After enlightening her with reason and emotion, she would surely pick up the butcher’s knife and become a demon on the spot...

At that time, no one would stop him from killing the Girl of Destiny,

However,

Wilt’s thoughts were thwarted.

In the face of Wilt’s ’persuasion’, the black-haired girl still shook her head dismissively,

"Sorry, not interested. I still want to protect her."

"Wha, what?!"

Seeing the black-haired girl shake her head so decisively, and hearing her resolute tone, Wilt’s face changed abruptly,

"Don’t you know that what you’re doing is suicidal?!"

"So what?"

’ Isn’t that better?’

"You! Suicidal?! Are you out of your... What is your real purpose?! What do you really want?!"

"My goal, well, is to hope that this child grows up well, and also to de...destroy the Demons Temple."

"Hope for the Girl of Destiny to grow? Want to destroy the Demons Temple?! Are you crazy..."

Wilt couldn’t help but clench his fists, his dark green eyes filled with ferocity,

Ignoring Wilt’s murderous gaze, Yumo, surrounded by dozens of blood butterflies, slowly walked towards Wilt: "Since I’ve told you my purpose, you should answer one of my questions too. The Child of Demon lord in your Divine Punishment Sect’s doctrine, who exactly is he? And where is he?!"

"The Child of Demon lord? Haha~"

Wilt couldn’t help but let out a cold sneer,

"Want to know the whereabouts of the Child of Demon lord, then go and hurt that person?! Haha, dream on! I will never tell you!"

"If you don’t speak, you’ll die, you know."

As she slowly spoke in a threatening tone, a dangerous glint appeared in Yumo’s bloody-red eyes.

The cold gaze pierced through Wilt’s body like a sharp sword, making him shudder and tremble slightly. However, Wilt’s eyes showed no fear, and the leader of the Divine Punishment Sect even revealed a strong fighting energy,

"Who will die by whose hand is still unknown!"

With that,

Wilt suddenly pulled out dozens of red pills from his spatial ring!

It was the Blood Soul Pill that borrowed the power of the Abyssal Demon, sacrificing life and soul for a short period of immense strength!

In The next moment,

Wilt violently swallowed these red pills.

As dozens of ’Blood Soul Pills’ entered his body, an indescribable powerful force suddenly exploded in Wilt’s abdomen! It then began to spread rapidly throughout his body! The pain from the wounds was instantly gone, replaced by a strong sense of excitement that surged like a tidal wave into his brain,

His muscles began to swell, strange scales and crimson demonic horns gradually grew out from his body! A strand of blood-red light emerged in Wilt’s eyes! A violent aura began to spread rapidly around him, with Wilt at its center!

With the support of dozens of pills, Wilt’s wounds healed almost completely, and his momentum was even stronger than at his peak! So powerful that it sent chills down one’s spine! Even the sleeping silver-haired girl couldn’t help but feel a wave of unease.

The unprecedented powerful force excited Wilt!

’Child of Demon lord,’

’It seems,’

’Now is the time for me to repay your kindness...’

Then, those bloodshot eyes locked onto Yumo,

"Miss Bloody Butterfly, I’m giving you one last chance! Give up protecting the Girl of Destiny and leave here obediently! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what?"

"If you insist on betraying, I’ll have no choice but to kill you."

...

Hearing this, Yumo fell silent,

But after a moment of silence, Yumo shook her head with a smile, fearlessly standing in front of Mengxi,

"Let it be betrayal then. As long as I’m here, no one will be able to kill that child."

Wilt: "..."

Mengxi: "..."
