?!?!

"You...?"

"Who are you?!"

However, before Bai Yanluo could finish Her Word, the black-haired girl’s hand blade Aura unexpectedly struck her on the head.

*Clang~*

After a crisp sound, the powerful impact shattered the protective holy spell surrounding Bai Yanluo, leaving her momentarily dazed...

Though she tried her best to retain consciousness, it was ultimately in vain...

’n the end, Bai Yanluo rolled her eyes and once again fell unconscious...

...

With Bai Yanluo’s unconsciousness, the intense aura of holy spells in the vicinity suddenly dissipated, returning everything to Normal...

The sudden loud noise should have attracted the attention of the distant Xiumu and Yuan’er, but it seemed that the noise and the burst of holy magic were intercepted by an invisible barrier, completely failing to reach them. Yuan’er continued to peacefully enjoy the time with her grandparents, completely unaware of the tremendous energy turmoil nearby...

--

In the distance, a beautiful black-haired girl leaned against a ruined wall with her arms crossed in front of her chest. After seeing that the members of the Xiu family had not noticed the situation here, she couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

"Good, enjoy your time with your family."

With the corner of her eye, she watched the ecstatic little pink haired girl.

The black-haired girl, who was Yumo, showed a contented expression.

Initially, she wanted to help that child since Yuan’er had just become a Demon King and might be bullied by the prison guards. However, it turned out that She was overly worried.

Yuan’er’s control over the power of the Shadow might not be perfect, but she easily dealt with these fifth and sixth-tier prison guards. While she incapacitated the defending soldiers without taking their lives, she left them lying on the ground, bleeding from their wounds.

Clearly, Monsters Or Humans that became Abyssal Demons instinctively harbor disgust and hostility toward other creatures. However, Yuan’er seemed different. This child, who had calmed down, still had an innocent and lively appearance...

This greatly pleased Yumo, and her crimson gem-like eyes were filled with joy.

"Aww, my child is truly worthy of my family, just as kind and well-behaved as Shuoyue, Liyu, and Kalina~"

’Well done,’

’Well done~’

...

Since Yuan’er was able to handle these soldiers, Yumo no longer needed to intervene. She silently gave instructions to the nearby Abyssal Demons not to approach this place, not to disturb Yuan’er’s time with her grandparents.

Let that child enjoy this beautiful moment peacefully.

That was Yumo’s plan.

And because of that,

Yumo had originally come to find Yuan’er. She silently hid in the distance, atop the ruins, quietly observing the scene of Yuan’er and the harmonious couple embracing each other. However, as she watched, Yumo couldn’t help but recall Yuan’er’s previous fighting style—the familiar control of the Shadow power and her actions during battles. It triggered thoughts of a familiar figure in Yumo’s mind. A speculation involuntarily jumped into her thoughts:

"Yuan’er has become quickly familiar with the Shadow Power... Could it be that she has encountered... that child?"

With this speculation in mind, Yumo slightly narrowed her eyes, revealing a serious gaze. However, for now, she didn’t have excessive energy to worry about this question. Because a more pressing problem was already in front of her—how to handle this apostle of heavens before her.

Coming back to her senses, Yumo tilted her head and placed her hand on her chin, showing a conflicted expression as she looked at the white-haired female knight who had fallen in front of her, lying motionless in the dirt.

"Hmm... How should I handle this?"

Yumo’s objective is to ensure that Yuan’er can reunite with her family and enjoy a peaceful time. After seeing Bai Yanluo’s appearance, Yumo knew that this young apostle would undoubtedly disrupt her daughter’s peaceful time. Therefore, reluctantly, she resorted to knocking her unconscious with a swift strike of her hand.

Considering her previous experience of hitting a human trafficker on the head with her hand, this time, Yumo carefully controlled her strength. She struck with enough force to render the young apostle unconscious but not to kill her. It turned out that Yumo succeeded. Bai Yanluo only fell unconscious and was not in any life-threatening danger.

Well, at least for now...

Additionally, since Yumo hit the pressure point on Bai Yanluo, her memory of the few minutes before falling unconscious should be forgotten. In other words, she will forget the scene of encountering Yumo and seeing Yuan’er. Well... if Yumo’s strike was accurate enough.

So, the biggest problem now is how to handle this Woman.

’A Tier 8 apostle fainting without much fighting—wouldn’t it arouse suspicion from others?’

And...

’The holy aura emanating from her is extremely intense. It easily stirs up the ferocity of the abyssal demons. If I were to leave this unconscious apostle here unattended, there’s a chance that passing abyssal demons might cause trouble for her once I’m gone. Moreover, considering the current chaotic state of the SkyDome, she might even be killed by an unknown area-of-effect attack... ’

’Anyway, Miss Bai Yanluo seems to have a good relationship with Mengxi. Once Mengxi becomes the Saintess of the Asumos Church, she should become a formidable combat force under the Her. I can’t bear to let her disappear without any reason.’

So, Yumo plans to find a place to hide Bai Yanluo. After all, whatever happens between Yuan’er and Marquis Xiumu, it won’t make a difference even if she’s not watching.

Like this, Yumo slowly approaches Bai Yanluo’s side and grips her ankle, dragging her gently as they move slowly toward a large shelter in the distance.

However, after taking just a couple of steps, Yumo’s brows furrow abruptly.

Although she conceals the majority of her Shadow power and suppresses it beneath a deceitful guise, her keen senses still enable Her to perceive changes in her surroundings.

At this moment, a familiar aura forcefully enters Yumo’s perception, rapidly approaching her location.

"Hmm? How did that girl come over here?"

That girl naturally refers to Mengxi, the girl chosen by destiny. According to Yumo’s judgment, faced with such a large-scale invasion of abyssal demons, Mengxi should be fighting alongside others from the Church, vehemently resisting the demon attacks.

’However, why? Why would Mengxi, who should be near the palace, come running to the southern part of the city?’

’What on earth is happening here?!’

’And an invasion of abyssal demons, you troublesome girl?!’

’You dared to wander around recklessly all Alone by yourself?! And you even ran toward the place where the Demon King resides?! Aren’t you afraid of death, you troublesome girl?! You’re not taking your own safety seriously, are you?!’

As Yumo observed Mengxi causing trouble once again, a slight pout formed on her lips, and her crimson eyes reflected a sense of dissatisfaction.

However, as the current young lady of the Black Rose family, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to scold that girl. Instead, she should consider how to explain to the other person why she appeared here alone and so composed. And also, what to do with this person in her hands...

Glancing at Bai Yanluo, who had been dragged on the ground for a long time, Yumo suddenly took a deep breath.

No sooner said than done,

Yumo forcefully threw Bai Yanluo from her grasp, and with a loud crash, they landed in the nearby ruins. Then, numerous bloody-colored butterflies fluttered in the air.

In an instant,

Amidst the swarm of bloody butterflies, countless debris and rubble rushed up and buried Bai Yanluo under the ruins without hesitation.

A red light flashed, and a barrier concealing their presence was erected over the ruins...

Once everything was completed, Yumo hurriedly suppressed the Shadow Power within her, and the Red crimson color in her eyes changed to a deep blue. Then, with urgency in her eyes, she stared at a few adorable Abyssal demons nearby with six heads.

"Hey! You lot! Come over here and cooperate!"

Upon receiving Yumo’s command, three Abyssal demons in the distance, emanating a strong bloody smell, timidly popped their "small" heads out of the ruins and looked bewilderedly at their Mistress.

...

...

After Some Time,

Accompanied by gusts of howling wind and the fluctuation of a rich silver holy aura, a dazzling silver light suddenly burst into where the former SkyDome Grand Court was located. And as the white light dissipated, a gallant silver-haired Holy Knight girl stood on top of the ruins.

The commotion happening nearby naturally grabbed Mengxi’s attention. However, when she saw the black silhouette engaging in a "battle" with several Abyssal demons, the silver-haired girl was taken aback. Her gaze toward the black-haired girl nearby became filled with mixed emotions. After a prolonged moment of silence, Mengxi couldn’t help but raise her hand to rest against her forehead.

"Ah..."

Amidst her sigh,

Mengxi was left speechless,
