Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 284 - 285 : Demon King of Fleam [2/3]

"..."

Upon hearing these words and sensing the strong spirit in the eyes of Que Mingtong and Xizhi, General Luo Kefei of the Snow Night Empire narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You want to kill me? Such arrogance from the younger generation."

As he spoke,

Locke’s icy blue eyes gradually revealed a glint of murderous intent.

--

Not long ago,

When Luo Kefei first learned from Mo Xiao about the relationship between the Black Rose family and the Bloody Butterflies, he had his doubts. After all, it was difficult to believe that such a large southern family would betray humans and cooperate with Abyssal Demons.

Moreover,

-"SkyeDome will be destroyed"-

Upon hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Luo Kefei’s initial reaction was disbelief, followed by anger and suspicion.

’What?!’

’Is this some kind of joke?!’

’It sounds absurd!’

After some internal struggle, Luo Kefei couldn’t bring himself to believe the words of this informant. After all, SkyeDome was the heartland of the Snow Night Empire, filled with skilled experts, and with himself and the emperor overseeing it. How could it be destroyed so easily?

Considering Mo Xiao’s strange mental state when he was captured,

For a while, Luo Kefei dismissed his words as madness and didn’t pay much attention.

It wasn’t until the invasion of the Abyssal Demons that Luo Kefei gradually started to change his mindset and deeply regret it...

’That guy Mo Xiao? He wasn’t just spouting nonsense? Will it be destroyed? Did he foresee the Abyssal Demons’ invasion?’

’If that’s the case, maybe he wasn’t just making things up?’

’Which means the relationship between the Bloody Butterflies and the Black Rose duchy might be real too? do they want to save Inferno?’

’And today? Miss Yu seems to have disappeared as well?’

With these thoughts, Luo Kefei ’s unease grew, and he hurriedly tried to contact Gaff within the prison. Although he successfully reached ’ Gaff ’, with his keen observation, Luo Kefei realized that this ’ Gaff ’ communicating with him was not the familiar seventh-tier scholar he knew.

"Did they control the prison?"

Realizing this, under the enveloping icy blue glow, Luo Kefei swiftly rushed toward the prison. He didn’t have the energy to deal with the invading Abyssal Demon horde. After all, once Inferno was released, the entire SkyeDome City would become a sea of fire and hell.

The thousands of Abyssal Demons outside posed less of a threat compared to the terrifying existence of a Demon king!

The priority was to deal with Inferno!

At least,

To ensure that demon won’t regain its freedom.

And when he forcefully entered the prison, he was surprised to find Gaff and the others lying unconscious on the ground.

The guards inside the prison were not members of the Royal Knights but rather from the Black Rose. At that moment, Luo Kefei realized that Mo Xiao’s words were not baseless.

"Black Rose….."

--

Inside the prison,

As General Luo Kefei faced the Black Rose family members who were constantly trying to prevent him from entering the dungeon, his face gradually became covered with a chilling aura. This battlefield deity, who was already filled with an aura of solemn killing intent, now transformed into a hellish warrior.

A horrifying chill filled the prison,

Under the solemn gaze of Que Mingtong and the others, Luo Kefei slowly approached them,

With each step he took, the coldness within the prison intensified. A thick layer of frost even formed directly on the path Luo Kefei walked, and the overwhelming pressure continued to oppress Que Mingtong, Xizhi, and the others, causing these battle-hardened individuals to involuntarily draw a cold breath.

After a moment of silence,

Luo Kefei issued his final ultimatum,

"Surrender peacefully, and don’t try to stop me any further. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."

However,

In the face of Locke’s threat, Xizhi disdainfully tilted his head,

"Heh, you old coot, if you want to fight, let’s fight. Why so much nonsense?!"

As she spoke,

Xizhi’s pitch-black dragon wings suddenly burst through her clothes, and the dragon-horned girl instantly entered a half-dragon state without hesitation. At this moment, her strength surpassed its previous limits, faintly touching the edge of the eighth tier. Que mingtong, by her side, also refused to be outdone, as various ancient red runes began to spread across her delicate body...

Then,

Almost simultaneously, everyone launched an attack against Luo Kefei once again.

In response,

The General sighed helplessly,

"It seems that your Black Rose family has truly joined forces with the Abyssal Demons. Since you are traitors to humanity, I can only detain you and bring you before the High Court."

Slowly raising his hand,

A dense icy blue light overflowed from Locke’s eyes, and he slowly unsheathed the dagger at his waist.

The opponent’s actions were clearly a means of stalling for time.

In order to prevent the residents of SkyeDome from realizing that Inferno was sealed beneath them, and causing panic. Xue Tianao proudly deployed numerous barriers around the Inferno’s prison and covered them with black magic stones to suppress Inferno’s power and prevent others from sensing it.

Although Luo Kefei was unsure about the specifics inside the prison, based on his judgment, Bloody Butterflies might be present, attempting to break the seal set by the emperor. Although Emperor’s seal was formidable, Bloody Butterflies were eighth-tier beings, and given enough time, breaking the seal would not be difficult for her.

At that time,

The calamity of SkyeDome would be unstoppable.

"No time to waste on you"

In the next moment,

The blue light surged,

...

"Boom~"

With an earth-shattering roar, Luo Kefei’s blade shattered the combined attack of Que Mingtong, Xizhi, and the Black Rose Knights. A bone-chilling wave engulfed every member of the Black Rose family, and the unleashed power wreaked havoc within the prison. If it hadn’t been for the reinforced structure, the prison would have undoubtedly crumbled.

In a single devastating strike, Luo Kefei incapacitated Que mingtong, Xizhi, and the others, simultaneously shattering the colossal stone gate that guarded the fiery prison cell.

"Hmph."

Luo Kefei let out a disdainful snort before forcefully propelling himself forward, transforming into a streak of azure light as he dashed into the infernal cage. His mission was twofold: to safeguard the seal on inferno and neutralize the combat capabilities of the Bloody Butterflies. Only by doing so could the looming crisis be averted.

However,

As Luo Kefei, resolute and unwavering, entered the heart of the prison, a crease formed on his brow.

Because,

Contrary to his expectations,

The sight of the black-haired girl attempting to rescue Inferno was nowhere to be found. There was no sign of that black-haired girl or inferno?! Instead, within the vast expanse of the prison’s core, stood a bewitching red-haired woman...

With phoenix-like eyes, long, alluring lashes, a petite and straight nose, and rosy lips, her fiery red hair danced in the wind, fueled by her turbulent aura. Her perfectly voluptuous figure radiated a mortal beauty that surpassed comparison.

Yet,

This beauty instantly overwhelmed Luo Kefei with an oppressive aura, suffocating him and dramatically transforming the expression on this seasoned general’s face. Unprecedented seriousness emanated from his ice-blue eyes.

Although her appearance had changed, her aura remained unchanged.

The overwhelming power of shadow pressed down like a lead weight, and the scorching intensity distorted the very fabric of space...

With just a single glance, Luo Kefei discerned the woman’s true identity.

"Inferno..."

However,

Before Luo Kefei could utter a word, the red-haired lady, clad in ethereal white garments, advanced toward him with measured steps. Her next words sent a shiver down Locke’s spine.

"You must be General Luo Kefei, am I correct? I offer my sincerest apologies, but would you mind, as the esteemed veteran protector of the Snow Night Empire, meeting your demise momentarily? It serves to remind the foolish humans of the terror of Abyssal Demons."

Before Luo Kefei could react,

Under his astonished gaze,

The red-haired woman erupted with an unparalleled and terrifying force. The scorching temperature, capable of consuming souls, along with the crimson power of shadow, surged toward Luo Kefei.

In an instant, it shattered Luo Kefei’s prideful, icy-cold aura, leaving the Grand general with an even gloomier countenance.

"She is at the peak of the eighth tier?!"

’she was hideing her true strength when facing His Majesty?!!!’
