Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 285 - 286: Mom... [3/3]

"Can’t you just die?"

As Luo Kefei heard her polite words, he immediately felt a sense of danger and extreme caution. It was as if he was standing on the edge of a deep abyss and walking on fragile ice. This unexpected turn of events surprised him greatly:

’ An abyssal demon, a being at the level of a Demon king, had transformed into a human form?’

This fact alone left Luo Kefei dumbfounded, his eyes filled with disbelief. However, what shocked and unsettled this Grand general even more was the terrifying power coming out of her.

The relentless heatwaves and the dense power of shadow contained within them gave Luo Kefei an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"This person... she actually hidden her true strength?!"

Based on the previous conditions of Inferno and Xue Tianao, the strength of this Demon king should have been around the low to med stage of eighth tier. Although it was undeniably powerful, there was still a gap compared to the " Sword Demon " he had once fought against, someone he could stand against now.

That’s how Luo Kefei had always judged the situation.

However, when the redhead girl released her power, Luo Kefei froze.

The aura she unleashed was far beyond anything Luo Kefei could have imagined, engulfing him in an immense feeling of fear and unease.

Not any weaker than the Sword Demon from before...

In the instant the girl spoke, Luo Kefei, sensing the chilling intent emanating from her, immediately assumed a defensive stance and unleashed his own internal ice attribute aura without holding back, attempting to counter the scorching flames surrounding Inferno that seemed to come from hell itself.

To confront and even defeat such a terrifying existence, one had to pay a painful price. Knowing this, Luo Kefei chose not to retreat but held his breath, continuously channeling his powerful aura.

After all, he was well aware that if he didn’t stop this terrifying Demon king here, once Inferno’s power was unleashed fully, the entire city would be engulfed in flames...

As the Grand General protecting the country, he must stop this Demon.

At the same time, as a father, he absolutely couldn’t let this Abyssal demon escape from the prison, for the safety of his daughter. He needed to buy time for his daughter and family to escape.

At this moment, Luo Kefei’s eyes revealed a resolute gaze.

However,

After a moment of determination, Luo Kefei furrowed his brow.

’Wait a minute?’

’Since she had already broken free from her restraints and had some connection with the Black Rose family, then why didn’t this person intervene when I was fighting against the Black Rose members just now?’

...

...

In reality, Kalina’s objective was to eliminate any threats to her mother, not only the Chosen One but also the Grand General, who was nearing the peak of the eighth tier. However, killing such a high-ranking figure would pose difficulties in explaining it to her mother. After all, her mother had previously instructed her to avoid engaging with top-tier powerhouses. As an obedient daughter, how could she go against her mother’s words without a reasonable and justifiable reason?

With these thoughts in mind, after Luo Kefei stormed into the prison, inflicting severe injuries on members of the Black Rose. be it to rescue someone or compelled to use all my strength in the confrontation, and then, by accident, I end up killing my opponent? That shouldn’t be an issue, right, considering these possibilities, Kalina coordinated with Qiu Mingtong and Xizhi to orchestrate a staged scenario.

The more serious the injuries suffered by Qiu Mingtong and Xizhi, the better she would be able to make excuses to her mother later.

Moreover, as Kalina gazed at the man before her, determined to stop her at any cost, she felt a sense of curiosity...

She had heard that this man had previously defeated her rebellious brother.

’Was he truly that powerful?’

She yearned to test his strength thoroughly. Sensing the potent and concentrated aura of ice emanating from Luo Kefei, Kalina couldn’t help but smile with excitement.

Her demonic nature, infused with a love for battle, was gradually awakened by the chilling gusts of wind.

After confirming through her perception that Qiu Mingtong and the others had already departed, Kalina’s aura surged.

As her aura intensified, the fiery power of shadow grew even more ferocious.

The temperature soared, and the menacing heatwave dissolved all the metal in the surrounding prison, reducing the unconscious lab personnel lying nearby to ashes.

Among them was Gaff, one of Xue Tianao’s trusted subordinates. Under the scorching temperatures, Kalina’s delicate nightgown naturally evaporated.

However, Kalina’s seductive and mature appearance was not revealed to Luo Kefei. As her clothes turned into vapor, vibrant crimson flames erupted from every direction, surrounding her elegant body and forming a stunning suit of fiery battle attire. Dressed in the vibrant red armor, Kalina exuded an even more powerful and courageous presence, resembling a Valkyrie as she stood confidently in front of Luo Kefei.

In the next moment...

Kalina’s figure twisted abruptly under the intense gaze of Luo Kefei. The sea of vibrant red flames erupted suddenly, and the red-haired woman evaded Luo Kefei’s perception field, appearing directly before the Grand General.

Kalina’s fist, enveloped in destructive crimson flames, rapidly enlarged in Luo Kefei’s eyes...

’?!!’

"Damn?!!"

Facing a powerful opponent whose aura was no weaker than that of the "Sword Demon," Luo Kefei gritted his teeth and charged forward, bracing himself...

--

On the other side, just a few minutes ago,

Above the Grand Court, a spectacle unfolded within the secluded prison cells. It pulsated with a raw intensity, fueled by a savage aura.

a violent black radiance descended, shattering the defense line of the guarding army with irresistible might.

Even though Yuan’er was at a lower stage eighth tier, her terrifying presence as a Demon king surpassed the meager strength of the fourth and fifth-tier soldiers.

The guards, initially shocked and terrified by the arrival of the Demon king, quickly regained their composure and launched a coordinated attack with the help of the Mage Corps. At the same time, the nearby group of Abyssal Demons united seamlessly, preventing any efforts to stop Yuan’er from escaping the prison.

’??’

’Hm?’

’These Abyssal Demons?’

As Yuan’er witnessed the assistance rendered by this assembly of Abyssal Demons—shattering the prison’s defenses and launching mages skyward—a shocked expression etched across her face.

Abyssal Demons had always evoked terror,

That was Yuan’er’s enduring belief.

Though her sister Youlan had reassured her that she don’t need to fear Abyssal Demons any longer, an undercurrent of unease persisted within Yuan’er’s subconscious.

Yet,

Upon beholding these creatures, enshrouded in profound darkness and sporting uncanny forms, Yuan’er was taken aback by an unexpected revelation:

’these Abyssal Demons aren’t fearsome after all?’

Their six pairs of eyes, crimson irises, ferocious spines, razor-sharp teeth, and blood-stained fangs... was quite cool!

They exuded a charm akin to that of little puppies!

As Yuan’er looked at the demon, who had a surprisingly "adorable" appearance, standing at about five meters tall and having three pairs of eyes, she couldn’t contain her excitement.

And to her surprise, these demons were actually helping her in dealing with the troublesome guards!

"They’re so considerate!"

Yuan’er couldn’t contain this sentiment, and the notion of adopting them as pets in the future crossed her mind. It was a peculiar sensation,

’Could it be due to the changes in my race?’

’Ah, but let’s cast aside such thoughts for now,’

’This is not the time for contemplation. The utmost priority is to rescue Grandpa and Grandma!’

With this determination,

The ebon fluid surged forth, enveloping Yuan’er’s delicate hand,

Without hesitation, Yuan’er swiftly threw a punch, knocking out the mage who was trying to cast a spell on her.

Unbeknownst to the mage, Yuan’er’s senses were heightened due to the influence of the Abyssal Demon’s nature, and the mage’s strong magical aura triggered a dark and intense response in Yuan’er. The thought of crushing the mage completely crossed her’s mind.

However,

Recalling Youlan’s words, Yuan’er vigorously shook her head, suppressing the impulse burgeoning within her,

’After all, Grandpa and Grandma wouldn’t wish to witness me in such a state,’

’Furthermore, that sister-like goddess with raven black hair seems disapproving...’

"No,"

"Not sister,"

"It’s Mom..."

The mere thought of her new mother being in this city to filled Yuan’er with excitement, and a spark of anticipation shone in her eyes that were each a different color.

"Mom..."
