Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 302 - 303: The Daughter’s Dilemma part (2) [2/2]

After thinking it through...

Didn’t Mom just destroy Xue Tianao not far from here? If Xue Tianao is gone, won’t Mom quickly come rushing over here?!

With this in mind, a chill ran down Liyu’s spine as she looked down at her body wrapped in tattered cloth.

"Oh no, this... smell..."

At this moment, Liyu, feeling somewhat helpless, discovered that her body was covered in the scent of blood...

Not just from the son of destiny, but also from numerous other Imperial City soldiers.

She herself was one thing, but the scent of blood on Limo, her sister, was even stronger. And it wasn’t just the smell; there were even traces of blood at the corners of Limo’s mouth...

What did this mean? It was obvious, right? If Mother were to arrive in the next moment, there wouldn’t be sufficient time to clean up the evidence!

For a moment, Liyu’s cute emerald eyes were filled with a feeling of sadness and despair.

Looking at the oblivious little wolf nestled in her arms, still blissfully unaware and happily licking its lips after a satisfying meal, Liyu couldn’t help but display a speechless expression.

Raising her hand and rubbing the tongue-sticking-out little white wolf, Liyu sighed helplessly.

"Sister... How can you still be smiling here..."

"Meow?"(huh?)

Hearing Liyu’s words, the little white wolf turned its head, perplexed, and looked at her younger sister, her crimson eyes filled with confusion.

Regarding this, Liyu had already given up on explaining and instead held the little white wolf tightly, anxiously gazing ahead at the direction of her mother’s presence. While waiting for her arrival, Liyu’s mind began to race, pondering how to craft a reasonable and cunning argument.

And perhaps, if necessary, she might have to consider selling her sister...

"Meow?"

Whether it suddenly sensed a chill or not, the little white wolf’s ears suddenly perked up, and it cleverly turned its head to look at its sister behind it.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, Liyu couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

Because, at this moment, the little girl realized that there seemed to be no sign of her Mother’s arrival.

’her presence is still lingering in the same place ’

"Hmm? What’s going on?"

Perplexed, Liyu unintentionally turned to Xiao, who was standing beside her, seeking help.

"Could it be... Mother is tangled up because she personally killed the Chosen One? It’s too complicated, isn’t it?"

To this, Xiao could only shake her head helplessly.

"It’s possible, but who knows."

Saying that, Xiao glanced somewhat reluctantly at the two sisters covered in stains of blood.

"In any case, Lady Yumo doesn’t seem to have immediate plans to come over. You might as well take this opportunity to clean yourselves up and think about how to explain."

"Hmm... That makes sense."

As Limo didn’t immediately come to apprehend them with the incriminating evidence, Liyu couldn’t help but feel relieved.

But when Xiao turned and left, Liyu asked curiously, "Xiao? Where are you going? Aren’t you supposed to report the results to Mother?"

"What’s there to report? Besides, for safety reasons, I need to handle some matters outside the city,"

Xiao replied.

"Outside the city? Hmm?"

Liyu furrowed her brow, feeling concerned about what would happen inside the city.

"No need to worry about that. Lady Kalina will take care of it. Without Xue Tianao, that old troublemaker won’t cause any more problems,"

Xiao explained. With that, grayish-white magic surged around his body, and with the help of flight magic, he transformed into a gray meteor, rushing toward the outskirts of the city.

"Um, alright,"

Liyu murmured softly, her gaze shifting toward the direction of the dungeon. To dismantle the power of the Snow Night Empire completely, it was necessary to not only eliminate the Son of destiny but also the Grand General who had the support of many people.

At that moment, the General should be battling Kalin underground as planned.

Although her third sister was currently fighting the strongest person of the Snow Night Empire, Liyu remained calm, free of worries. She knew her sister’s strength well.

Instead of worrying about Kalina, she decided to spend more time contemplating how to cleverly explain things to her Mother.

’Otherwise, I wouldn’t escape punishment.’

With this thought, Liyu couldn’t help but shiver and reached behind to rub her unharmed and delicate little butt.

Meanwhile, inside the dungeon, a peculiar scene unfolded. Normally, a battle between two peak 8th Tier would bring about catastrophic destruction. If the battle took place underground, the shockwaves alone would cause unprecedented landslides, reducing the city above to ruins in an instant.

However, at this moment, the entire dungeon fell into an eerie silence after the initial waves of battle. It bore no resemblance to a battlefield where two masters were fighting. Instead, a massive fireball burned fiercely within the dungeon.

Apart from that, there was no trace of Kalina or Luo Kefei within the battlefield.

Silently observing from a distance, Sebastian wore an indifferent expression as he gracefully lifted a teacup to his lips and took a gentle sip.

In contrast to Sebastian, the Black Rose Family members who had just arrived to provide support stood in shock, staring at their colleagues led by Sebastian, who sat on the ground sipping tea.

After a slight twitch at the corner of his eye, one of the captains, a man with brown hair, couldn’t resist asking "Um, Lord Sebastian? Wasn’t Lady Kalina supposed to be... engaged in a duel with the esteemed General?"

"Yes,"

replied Sebastian with an indifferent expression.

"She’s right over there."

With a gesture, Sebastian pointed to the massive flaming sun hanging not far away.

"Huh?"

The brown-haired man was instantly confused, and upon observing the situation around the fireball, he became even more shoked.

"Um, is this just a fireball? Isn’t it the one Lady Kalina left for you, Lord Sebastian, to keep warm? Considering your frail health and old age."

"...,"

Sebastian’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

"If you have nothing important to say, then it’s better to remain silent."

"I-I apologize, Lord Sebastian... I was simply curious. So, this fireball is merely the one Lady Kalina left behind, right? It doesn’t exhibit any strong energy fluctuations, and I can’t sense the presence of that old guy Luo Kefei."

"Are you... part of the group trained more than twenty years ago?"

"Um? Yes, we are."

"Oh, I see."

Sebastian nodded absentmindedly, further confusing the brown-haired man.

"Um, Lord Sebastian, I didn’t fully understand your previous words... What happened twenty years ago?"

"It’s nothing. It’s just that when your group started training, Lady Kalina had already left. It’s natural for you not to have seen her and have such questions."

Saying this, Sebastian calmly placed his teacup down and pointed ahead to the blazing crimson sun.

"That’s Lady Kalina’s domain, known as the ’Scorching Hell.’ It allows her to drag enemies into her own realm, a separate space where she can give them a good beating. Although it appears tranquil on the outside, it hides an entirely different world within."

"I see... Um, if that’s true, then is Lady Kalina facing the Grand General all by herself in her own realm? He’s her opponent, right?! I mean, he even managed to push back Lord Pierre! Do you think Lady Kalina can win?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian turned his head in disbelief and glanced at the young lad standing behind him.

" push back Lord Pierre, huh..."

’Well, now that you mention it, there seems to be such a saying in the Snow Night Empire...’

’But push back…?’

’These Snow Night Empire folks really have some nerve, huh?’

’Clearly, at that time, Lord Pierre backed away in embarrassment because of Lady Kalina’s outburst...’

’What does it have to do with Luo Kefei?’
