Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 253: The Plan

"Let’s go and do it. I know you understand how to handle The ’balance’,"

Yumo said calmly as she watched the communication magic stone emitting a faint blue light in Sebastian’s hand.

"Also, I’m entrusting you with the command over the Abyssal Demons in the eastern forest," she added.

Upon hearing this, Sebastian’s eyebrows twitched, and he looked somewhat apprehensively at the composed black-haired girl. From past experiences, he knew that when the girl’s inner fury was fully ignited, she often appeared calm, just like now. While soothing her daughter and gently touching Lady Kalina’s forehead, she maintained a calm conversation with the Duke through the communication device.

Meanwhile, Xiao’s voice carried an unprecedented astonishment. He hadn’t expected Yumo to hand over such a significant command of the Abyssal Demons to him. At the same time, a sense of gratitude emerged in Xiao’s heart. After all, Yumo’s trust in him was evident by entrusting him with the command of so many Abyssal Demons. This undoubtedly excited Xiao greatly.

However, as someone with strong mental resilience, Xiao quickly suppressed his surprise and excitement, responding calmly and respectfully,

"Understood, Lady Yumo. I will definitely accomplish the mission and provide the chosen one with a memorable trial."

"good,"

Yumo nodded lightly.

But in the next moment, the black-haired girl seemed to remember something, and her eyebrows slightly raised.

"By the way?"

"Do you have any other orders, Lady Yumo?"

"Xiao, can your plan be implemented in time? Tomorrow is the coronation ceremony, and the Great Winter Forest is still quite far away from here..."

Facing Yumo’s question, Xiao chuckled meaningfully on the other end of the communication and replied with playfulness,

"Don’t worry, Lady Yumo. I have already obtained enough spatial magic stones to construct a large-scale teleportation magic. We still have time."

"A large-scale teleportation magic? But that would require a lot of spatial magic stones, right? How did you manage to acquire so many of those rare items?"

"Well, you don’t need to worry about that, Lady Yumo. Let’s just say that someone has ’donated’ them," Xiao replied cryptically.

...

...

In another location, inside a cave,

As the previous conversation with Yumo ended, Xiao’s disposable communication magic stone suddenly shattered, turning into countless particles. The benevolent smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold poker face. The atmosphere around Xiao gradually plummeted toward freezing point.

After casting a sly glance at the massive stone gate roughly fifty meters ahead, Xiao slowly turned his head and looked behind him. At that moment...

A charming loli girl, meticulously adorned, found herself tightly entangled in numerous gray-white magical chains, suspended upside down within a cavern. She boasted resplendent platinum locks of hair, cascading like a radiant waterfall, elegantly arched eyebrows, eyes brimming with captivating innocence, a straight aquiline nose, cherry-like lips, and a face as delightful as a melon seed...

Undoubtedly, the little girl was irresistibly adorable. A single glance would ignite the desire to cradle her in one’s arms and shower her with affection. However, any prudent individual would think twice. Those distinctive golden dragon horns adorning her head, the tail gracefully swaying beneath her skirt, and the perpetual tempestuous aura emanating from her being made it abundantly clear that this girl was no ordinary child...

Yet, Xiao, the Duke of Black Rose, evidently did not fit the mold of the "prudent." Casting a nonchalant glance at the troublesome and formidable dragon loli before him, he politely ventured,

"Majestic Dragon, your renowned generosity precedes you. Might I humbly request the privilege to glimpse the treasures within your vault?"

At these words, the dragon loli, relentlessly struggling against her constraints and even attempting to employ her "biting" prowess, erupted in a fit of fury! Her fiery, crimson draconic gaze fixated intensely upon Xiao, as if capable of inflicting a thousand deaths with its intensity...

Witnessing the ineffectiveness of her gaze’s assault, the dragon loli resorted to her "profanity" skill, exclaiming,

"You wretched human! Daring to pilfer our treasures once more! I’ll curse you! Curse your mother! May you meet a gruesome fate in the depths of hell!! I... No... This sovereign shall never compromise! I shall never relinquish these spatial magic stones to the likes of you! You must be dreaming...???!!!"

However, before she could conclude her tirade, Xiao gracefully waved his hand, causing the gray-white energy chains to seal shut her protesting mouth. Then, with an expression of feigned "kindness" and "gratitude" directed at the dragon Loli, he spoke,

"I had unwavering faith that Your Majesty would acquiesce. I extend my deepest gratitude for your unparalleled magnanimity..."

With those words, and under the resentful gaze of the dragon loli, Xiao adroitly retrieved the key from her tail, unlocked the treasury, and audaciously stepped inside.

His skilled actions shattered the dragon’s world...

Confronted with this scene, as she helplessly witnessed her cherished possessions being pillaged once more by the same human, the dragon Loli yearned to shed tears but found herself incapable. She struggled incessantly, emitting pitiful whimpers...

"You wretched aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

After dozens of minutes, amidst the grumbling and complaining of a certain dragon loli named Anne.

Xiao returned from the cave, feeling accomplished. Bathed in a gentle gray-white light, he calmly left the confines of the dragon’s gorge, bidding farewell to the second most "dangerous" area on the Continent, surpassed only by the Great Winter Forest.

Looking at his palm, Xiao held five spatial rings brimming with rare spatial magic stones. A smile of mixed emotions gradually spread across his face. The dragon race, ever "generous" as before. After a moment of reflection, Xiao swiftly activated another communication magic stone.

"Now, can you hear me? Lady Shuoyue, it’s time to take action..."

On the other side, to the north of the original Demon Temple in the eastern part of the Winter Forest, or rather, the location of the small House, a melodious humming voice accompanied the snowstorm. A burst of blue and golden light radiated from the snow-covered mountain peaks.

In the next moment, within the shimmering radiance, a beautiful and charming girl with ethereal blue hair appeared on the mountaintop. This girl was none other than Shuoyue. Judging by her cheerful humming, it was evident that Shuoyue’s mood was exceptionally good.

Indeed, it was...

’Upon hearing Mommy’s approval of Xiao’s plan, it was nearly impossible not to feel happy. And unlike before, this time it wasn’t just a small commotion.’

As Shuoyue landed on the ground, the blue-haired girl gazed ahead at the vast expanse of mountains and plains, blanketed by a fierce blizzard, devoid of any signs of life.

Soon, memories from her childhood flashed in Shuoyue’s mind. She remembered when she had just become an Abyssal Demon, her second brother brought her here to play. Well, he said it was for playing, but in reality... her brother just came here to fight the enemies, claiming he would beat the people from the Holy Tower...

As the reckless brother with a ruffian personality successfully thrashed the Tower Master and two elders, Mommy eventually found out about the whole thing. And, as expected, her brother got himself into trouble...

But right now, the topic of discussion during Shuoyue meeting was not the outcome of that incident. It was about the "stylish" moves her brother made when he brought the demons here for a brawl! These Abyssal Demons, dormant beneath the glacier, were originally her brother’s subordinates. To awaken them, they would mimic her brother’s movements. It wasn’t just a mere experiment, she assured.

Furthermore, unlike before, Shuoyue was no longer acting on her own. She held the "military order" given to her by Mommy! After recalling His brother actions, Shuoyue placed one hand on her waist, leaned back at a forty-five-degree angle, facing the sky, and with only the corner of her eye scanning forward, she struck an extremely arrogant and provoking pose. Then, she lowered her voice and shouted in an even more pompous tone:

" guys! It’s time to cause some trouble!!!"

...

Shuoyue’s voice, infused with the power of the blue-golden Shadow, immediately echoed throughout the glacial world ahead. And as the echoes faded away, the earth trembled suddenly. With a thunderous roar, the glacier shattered, and the terrifying power of the Shadows erupted from within the Skye and the earth! In an instant, the aura of formidable power surged like a bursting flood, engulfing the entire snowy world.

In the next moment, under Shuoyue’s expectant gaze, countless monstrous beings began to awaken from their slumber...
