Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 305 - 306: Kalina’s Concern [2/2]

’What?’

’He’s charging ?’

Facing the majestic and icy blue light, which carried an imposing aura and a surge of freezing cold, Kalina couldn’t help but show a bewildered expression.

In fact,

Kalina had heard quite a bit about Luo Kefei from her brother, Pierre.

Some of it came from Black Rose and most of it from Pierre himself.

Thirty years ago, when they learned that the Son of Destiny was born in the border region between the Snow Night Empire’s west and Golden City, the Black Rose family took action immediately.

Due to the tense relationship between the Sadik Empire and the Snow Night Empire at that time, and the Nightingale organization not yet mature to become what is it now, infiltrating the Snow Night Empire to find the Son of Destiny wasn’t easy.

So, they had Pierre appear in the North, responsible for attracting the attention of various forces to secretly carry out their mission.

However,

Although it was supposed to be a distraction, Pierre accidentally turned it into an annihilation, leaving the Snow Night Empire’s allied forces in a miserable state. During this process, he encountered this guy named Luo Kefei.

According to Pierre, this guy was a coward who fled in the face of danger, nothing to be feared. And the title of "General of nation" was just an empty name.

Therefore,

Initially, Kalina also had a strong aversion to Luo Kefei, after all, she hated cowardly and timid people.

She thought that someone like him, upon discovering "Inferno’s" Domain and power, would choose to escape...

’But unexpectedly, he turned around and continued attacking me?’

’Moreover, that look in his eyes... quite resolute, even though he knows he’s not strong enough, there’s no trace of fear...’

"It seems that what Pierre said doesn’t quite match up..."

[Esteemed General]

[The General of nation]

’Seems like it’s not just an empty title’

As Kalina pondered on these thoughts, the scorn and disdain in her orange-red eyes gradually faded away, giving way to a feeling of respect.

Although she had indulged in chivalry during her childhood to a large extent just to please her mother, Kalina’s character and style were still somewhat influenced by those chivalric principles.

At least, she admired those who were fearless in the face of death and showed great courage.

"Still, quite principled."

’Since that’s the case’

’As a reward, I’ll go all out too...’

In that moment of decision, Kalina narrowed her eyes slightly,

A bright crimson flame blazed from her chest, instantly enveloping her entire body...

A few minutes later, inside the dungeon, Sebastian, who had been quietly sitting and drinking tea for a while, furrowed his brows and looked meaningfully at the scorching red fireball ahead.

"Hmm? It seems it’s over..."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Black Rose members, who had been waiting patiently, immediately kneeled down on one knee, respectfully greeting the crimson fireball.

In the next moment, under the reverent gaze of Sebastian and the others, the red fireball gradually contracted, eventually transforming into flickering crimson particles that dissipated within the dungeon.

As the flames containing the power of Shadow vanished, a seductive and enchanting figure appeared in front of Sebastian and the others.

It was Kalina, dressed in fiery armor.

At that moment, Kalina’s right hand tightly gripped a charred corpse...

Kalina’s flames possessed a terrifying temperature capable of reducing even the toughest iron to nothingness.

To be able to preserve a corpse under such high temperatures, the deceased must have been incredibly powerful. It was becoming evident who this completely disfigured charred corpse belonged to.

"Luo Kefei, huh..."

Sebastian chuckled inwardly.

He wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all. Compared to the Luo Kefei who fought Lord Pierre in the past, the current Esteemed General was truly deserving of his title, possessing formidable strength among humans.

’However, no matter how powerful he was, he is still human.’

’Even though they were both at the peak of the eighth Tier, his physical abilities couldn’t compare to Lady Kalina, who was A Demon king.’

Furthermore, unlike Lady Limo and the others, Lady Kalina, just like Lord Pierre, was capable of completely controlling her liberated state.

It’s worth noting that while Lady Limo’s strength greatly increased after entering her liberated state, her actions were driven by instinct, and her power was unleashed randomly.

But Lady Kalina was different.

After unleashing her power, she wouldn’t lose her rationality.

In a state of maintaining her sanity, Lady Kalina could utilize more skills and diverse tactics.

Additionally, by compressing the dreadful power of the Shadow Flames into her humanoid form, Lady Kalina’s physical abilities, including attack power, defense, and speed, were further enhanced.

Coupled with the existence of her domain, the "Scorching Hell" the possibility of Luo Kefei winning was almost non-existent.

Now, his death in battle was within expectations.

’However, the fact that Lady Kalina brought his corpse out was unexpected. Shouldn’t it have been reduced to ashes?’

Thinking about this, Sebastian couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression, then curiously asked,

"Lady Kalina, what is this...?"

"Hmm?"

After noticing Sebastian’s gaze, Kalina glanced at the charred corpse in her hand with a complex expression.

After a moment of silence, it seemed that Kalina had no intention of explaining.

Instead, she gently handed the body to a knight from the Black Rose family and whispered,

" find a place and bury him."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, the knight showed a surprised expression but quickly regained composure and respectfully lowered his head.

"Understood, Lady Kalina."

Although he was filled with doubts, since it was Kalina’s instruction, he would follow it. After handing over the body, Kalina turned her head toward the butler beside her.

"You seem quite relaxed. Did Xiao succeed?"

At these words, Sebastian smiled and nodded.

"Yes, the Chosen One no longer exists. Lady Yumo killed him herself"

"Hmm? E plan? Well, that’s good."

Upon receiving this result, Kalina also showed a smile of relief.

For this mission, she had put aside important tasks of her team and even pretended to have injured herself.

Although she wouldn’t truly die, being wounded by Xue Tianao’s sword, which had injured her Source Core, and it was quite painful.

Fortunately, after putting in so much effort, there was a reward.

The parasite who threatened Mother and even desired to possess her Source Core was dead.

’Now, only the Girl of Destiny remained...’

’However, since the objective had been achieved, there was no need to continue causing a commotion...’

Thinking this, Kalina glanced sideways and looked at the repulsive creature that was crouching not far behind Sebastian and the others, with three tails and clinging to the wall like a lizard.

"Shuoyue, follow the original plan. After performing your act, let the Abyssal Demons retreat."

As the words were spoken, the Abyssal Demon, who had been quietly clinging to the wall for a long time, slowly raised its massive head and revealed a pair of crimson vertical pupils radiating blue-golden light.

Then, this colossal creature obediently nodded.

-"Understood, Big Sis"

A beautiful and melodious female voice, like a trickling stream, reached Kalina’s ears at that moment.

Naturally, it was the voice of Shuoyue. With her powerful psychic abilities, although Shuoyue was located in the central part of the Winter Forest, her will never left the front lines.

She constantly controlled every movement of the Abyssal Demons, not only directing them to strike important enemies but also suppressing their instinctive nature to kill, preventing the Abyssal Demon horde from doing anything that would displease her Mother.

Additionally,

Speaking of which, an image of a black figure surfaced in Kalina’s mind.

"Speaking of which, Mommy? Where is she now?"

Kalina couldn’t help but wonder. After all, her mother had inadvertently dealt with the Chosen One.

’She must be feeling quite down, right? As her considerate daughter, I should go and comfort her, shouldn’t I? Besides, I have to beat Limo and Liyu to it!’

With that in mind, Kalina hastily turned to Sebastian by her side.

"Sebastian, where is Mother now?"

"You mean Lady Yumo?"

Sebastian seemed to reveal a hint of hesitation upon hearing the question.

"Well..."

"Hmm? What’s the matter?"

"According to Lady Yumo’s words, it seems she is currently with Mengxi..."

Sebastian’s answer caused a furrow to appear on Kalina’s brow.

Her amber eyes filled with a sense of gravity...

Although Mengxi’s power and position were far inferior to Xue Tianao’s, the moment Kalina heard that name, an unexplainable feeling of dread filled her heart...

She had a lingering feeling that the threat posed by that girl was even greater than Xue Tianao...
