Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 211 - 212: Cooperation

"Boom~ Boom!"

In the dead of night, accompanied by a series of earth-shaking explosions, gray-white magic beams erupted from the valley, causing the surrounding land to crack and the sky to tear apart. If it weren’t for the valley’s inherent magic protection, it would have collapsed under the wave of magic energy release.

Although the valley was safe,

The members of the Divine Punishment Sect who were fighting in the valley, including the bishops, were overwhelmed by the gray-white magic tsunami. One by one, they lost their ability to fight and fell from the sky, landing heavily on the ground and passing out.

"Damn it!"

The remaining members realized the gap in strength between them and their enemies. Led by one of the archbishops, they took out ’Bloody Soul Pills’ and prepared to fight the enemy to protect the Demon Lord’s altar.

However,

The black-haired man hovering in mid-air smiled helplessly after witnessing the scene.

"Life is fragile; we should learn to cherish it~"

As his words faded,

Gray-white light surged, and a large magic circle emitting dazzling light appeared beneath the feet of the Sect members. The sight of it sent them into a panic.

"This, this magic circle?! When was it set up?!"

"Quite early~"

The black-haired man replied with a faint smile.

’High-level magic - Velsade’s Binding Chains~’

As the incantation was quickly chanted in his heart,

The magic circle was completed.

In the next Moment,

Countless gray-white magic chains burst out of the magic circle, rushing toward the unprepared members of the Divine Punishment Sect. In the blink of an eye, accompanied by another wave of magic energy release, dozens of church members, including the archbishop, were tightly bound by the chains and pressed down on the ground, unable to move.

No doubt, at this moment,

If the black-haired man wished,

A single high-level magic spell could wipe out all the members of the Divine Punishment Sect.

However, he didn’t take action but looked playfully at the sky.

At this moment,

In the sky, a green-haired man was struggling against three powerful summoned creatures. If Yumo was there, she would be surprised to find that the green-haired man fighting in the sky was the Divine Punishment Sect’s leader, Wilt, who she had previously let escape.

Facing the strong attacks of the three summoned creatures, Wilt did not back down, resolutely wielding his bloody-red scythe.

"Boom!"

A loud noise echoed through the sky,

The eerie dark green light illuminated the night, and the violent dark green magic energy spread instantly throughout the valley. Accompanied by Wilt himself and his two dark green energy giant serpents’ frenzied attacks,

The three powerful summoned creatures were eventually destroyed by Wilt and turned into magical energy particles in the sky.

"Cough, cough!"

Although he had defeated the three summoned creatures, Wilt dared not let his guard down, as a more powerful opponent was watching from a short distance away.

Coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Wilt looked at the black-haired man who was silently watching the show from mid-air with an angry and unwilling gaze. Upon seeing the black-haired man’s crossed arms, Wilt realized that the other members of the Divine Punishment Sect in the valley had probably been dealt with by him.

Single-handedly,

He had beaten them to this state...

Although Wilt himself was not in his prime, the strength of his opponent undoubtedly exceeded his expectations.

"You..."

Staring intently at the black rose outlined in gold on the black-haired man’s uniform, Wilt couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, numerous questions surfacing in his serious gaze.

’The Black Rose Family...’

Why would someone who should be in the Sadik Empire suddenly appear in the northern part of the Red Lotus Leaf Empire? And why did they happen to find their hidden base?

No,

Now was not the time to think about these things! He must eliminate this guy and not let their headquarters, which they had painstakingly managed for years, be destroyed!

’I’ll fight you to the end!’

Showing no fear of the Powerful magic power and hair-raising killing intent surrounding his opponent, Wilt suddenly opened his mouth and began chanting the magic incantation at a high speed. As the incantation continued, a dark green magic circle was drawn in front of Wilt.

"Holy Domain Magic - Black Death Thorny Spear!"

The dense dark green magic energy surrounding them seemed to have been summoned and converged toward the magic circle. Under the shaping of the magic circle, a black energy spear entwined with green thorns suddenly appeared in front of Wilt.

This magic was Wilt’s strongest single-target spell, the same one he had used against Yumo before.

Grasping the spear, Wilt immediately hurled the magic spear at the black-haired man. In an instant, space collapsed, and with momentum like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, the spear whistled as it charged forward!

"Die!!"

...

...

After several minutes of fighting, the valley returned to tranquility.

Leisurely drinking tea, the black-haired man strolled through the shattered valley, seemingly enjoying the night scenery and pleasant climate. The terrifying magic power and thick killing intent that had surrounded him had completely vanished, leaving no trace of the killer he had been earlier...

After taking a sip of tea, the black-haired man couldn’t help but sigh:

"Ah, this weather is nice. It’s not as hot as the Sadik Empire and not as cold as the Snow Night Empire. Hmm, maybe I’ll conquer this place and build a palace for Lady Yumo later."

However, as the man was sighing,

A weak male voice suddenly rang out,

"Yumo? Who is that?"

"You don’t need to know,"

The black-haired man said with a smile.

As he spoke, the man slowly turned around, looking politely at the person behind him,

"It seems you’ve recovered quite well, Sir Wilt."

At this moment,

Reflected in the black-haired man’s eyes, the battered Wilt was being held down on the ground by two giant wolf-like summoned beasts. Not only was Wilt’s magical power nearly exhausted, but his legs were also broken, and his right hand was gone.

Although an eighth rank could regenerate limbs, it was clear that Wilt’s current strength was not enough to achieve this.

It was not difficult to see that Wilt had completely lost his combat ability and was utterly suppressed by the black-haired man. Even if he wanted to use the ’Bloody Soul Pill’ to turn the tables, it was impossible, as the ring storing the pills had been destroyed by the black-haired man at the beginning.

Wilt had thought he would be killed directly,

But to his surprise, the opponent did not finish him off but instead dispersed the killing intent around him. This inevitably made Wilt puzzled. At first, he thought the opponent had come to punish the Divine Punishment Sect, but now it seemed not to be the case...

Wilt’s dark green eyes narrowed slightly,

"Your Grace, what exactly do you want to do? One moment you’re filled with murderous intent, and the next, you’re all smiles?"

"Me?"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired man, known as Xiao, gave a slight smile, showing no hostility, and even walked toward Wilt with a hint of apology,

"I’m sorry for being a bit too rough. I did this to test your strength and the combat power of the Divine Punishment Sect, to see if you have any value in cooperating with us. Although my companions have reported a lot of information about you, I still prefer to test it myself, so as to be foolproof."

"Test? I see,"

Wilt sneered coldly, his confusion from the previous battle now resolved.

However,

Thinking that he would be a test subject someday, Wilt couldn’t help but feel a sense of mixed emotions.

"So, do we have any value?"

"Yes, being able to fight me for so long, of course, you do. You’re qualified to cooperate with us."

"Qualified? So what? Why do we have to cooperate with you?"

Regarding this question, Xiao shook his head indifferently,

"Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

"You..."

Glancing at the magical giant wolves suppressing him and his subordinates still bound in the magic array in the distance, Wilt’s eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness and humiliation.

"However, I believe you won’t refuse this proposal."

"What?"

Hearing the confidence in Xiao’s words, Wilt couldn’t help but frown,

"What kind of cooperation?"

"Cooperation to eliminate the Chosen Ones."

"What?!"

In an instant, seeing the genuine cold murderous intent on Xiao’s face, even Wilt, who had killed countless people, felt a chill down his spine at this moment...
