Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 312 - 313: Anfrere Zizet [2/2]

’What do she mean by that, wasn’t I suppose to be the only one capable of this role?’

’I was chosen by the goddess! I am the world’s savior!’

"What on earth do you mean?!"

Xue Tianao who was stunned by Mengxi’s words, couldn’t comprehend it. He saw himself as the unique and favored one of the world.

He was irreplaceable!

He didn’t want to believe in Mengxi’s words, so much so that after hearing them, he forgot his pleas for mercy, and reacted hysterically, like a clown, questioning her.

However,

His question was destined to sink like a stone in the sea.

Because Mengxi had no time or interest to explain to a dying man, let alone let Xue Tianao die enlightened.

"What do I mean? Guess that for yourself."

With a cold response, the silver-white holy power inside her was released without any restraint! The energy sword built of silvery light cut through the air, its unstoppable momentum slashing toward Xue Tianao’s soul.

Mengxi’s all-out attack would be hard for even a peak sixth Level or a low seventh Level to handle, let alone Xue Tianao, who was now just a soul. Being shattered by her sword seemed to be his inevitable fate.

A strong sense of crisis and cold intent to kill encircled Xue Tianao’s soul, and the silvery blade growing in his vision made him feel like his soul was about to scatter.

In a way, Mengxi’s sword strike exerted more pressure on Xue Tianao than the attack from Yumo ever did. After all, when facing Yumo’s attack, Xue Tianao knew he had one more chance to revive, but when facing Mengxi’s slash, there was no way out for him...

This time, it was his real death,

Forget about completing the trials, realizing his dream of stepping into the legendary ranks, or avenging his grudges by eradicating the Black Rose and the Abyssal Demon, or taking revenge by dominating the black-haired girl...

Everything would become a pipe dream.

His death would mean the end of everything.

"Aaaaahhhhh!!! Fu@k you!!"

Xue Tianao attempted to escape, but his soul was firmly bound to the ground by the chains of Mengxi’s holy power. Now, all the former Emperor could do was rage in powerlessness...

But his screams could change nothing. In the end, with Xue Tianao watching helplessly, the silver sword descended mercilessly.

*Boom!!*

Accompanied by the silver-white energy’s explosive outburst, the earth was violently cracked, and the ancient trees, which had witnessed countless events in history, were split in two under Mengxi’s sword aura.

The intense shock made the forest shiver, and thousands of frightened birds suddenly took to the sky.

The scene of a flock of birds in the sky was somewhat stunning.

However,

Mengxi now had no energy to pay attention to these trivial matters. Because, although the previous attack was strong, the expected scene of a soul being split in two and dissipated did not happen.

Which means,

She did not hit Xue Tianao.

’What?!!’

’What happened?!’

Realizing this, Mengxi’s expression changed drastically, her light purple eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

After all, in Mengxi’s view, the current Xue Tianao was not capable of dodging her attack.

’Could it be, he has some other trick up his sleeve?’

’No,’

"No way, if there was a secret weapon, that guy wouldn’t have kept it under wraps until now...would he?"

While Mengxi’s mind was riddled with questions, her brow furrowed sharply.

"Wait, what?! Above!"

Thanks to her remarkable battle instincts and experience, Mengxi detected the unusual energy fluctuations around her.

She swiftly threw her gaze upward, skyward. And at this very moment, her eyes narrowed, a serious expression washed over her beautiful, silvery face.

"Who are you?!"

Her beautiful gem-like eyes mirrored a tall figure donned in a white cape, a black masquerade mask on his face, somehow flamboyantly standing out.

With the aid of a yellowish magical power, the man had been hovering mid-air. Then under Mengxi’s watchful gaze, Xue Tianao’s soul, now controlled by yellow threads, swayed left to right and landed in the man’s hand.

It became apparent.

The man who just saved Xue Tianao was the masked figure before her. His appearance might have been whimsical, but the unseen pressure he exerted on Mengxi was no joke.

’At least a seventh rank…’

Considering the man’s effortless levitation, Mengxi quickly concluded,

’Who is he?’

’Was he a comrade of Xue Tianao? Was he here to save him? If that was the case…’

Mengxi’s face darkened, and she tightened her grip on her silver sword, ready to strike at any moment. She was slowly stirring up the holy power inside her, prepared to counter any attack from the mysterious man. With Xue Tianao’s temperament, it was highly likely he would call for help from his allies.

But,

This time, Mengxi miscalculated.

Even though the man was overwhelmingly intimidating, he didn’t attack Mengxi as she had anticipated. Instead, he rather absurdly waved at her, unfurled a pair of wings made of yellow magic and flew off!

"Wait, what?! He’s retreating?!"

"Hey! Wait! Don’t go!"

Mengxi blurted out. She jumped up, seemingly ready to chase after the masked man.

’No!’

’I can’t let him leave with Xue Tianao! That scumbag who could threaten sister Yumo must be eliminated! ’

’I wouldn’t let the tiger return to his mountain.’

With that thought, Mengxi radiated a chilling killing intent, With her beautiful face masked with a fierce and solemn expression.

Mengxi was intent on stopping this masked man, but she knew the gap in strength between them.

So, to stop him, she had no choice but to resort to external forces.

With a flash of silver light, Mengxi pulled out from her space ring, the high-level scroll given to her by the archbishop, which sealed the holy magic. She prepared to use a powerful magic attack to stop him.

However,

The masked man seemed to have noticed Mengxi’s movement.

A meaningful smile surfaced in his agate-colored eyes.

Then,

With a wave of the masked man’s hand, a few barely visible yellow threads flew from his hand, landing next to Mengxi and rapidly merging with the ground.

*Boom~*

the rocks around Mengxi were instantly thrown into chaos.

"Wait, what?!"

"Huh?! What on earth is this?"

The next moment, to Mengxi’s wide-eyed disbelief, three giant rock golems, each towering about 10 meters tall, materialized in front of her.

Their attack abruptly interrupted the casting of her holy spell, culminating in an unexpected failure.

"Damn it..."

Mengxi couldn’t help but seethe inwardly.

And just like that, under the resentful and infuriated gaze of the silver-haired girl, the mysterious masked man vanished within the surrounding soft yellow light, disappearing from her sight.

--

In another place…

"Wha...?! I... I’m not dead?! I survived?!"

Upon realizing that Mengxi Didn’t kill him and that someone had indeed rescued him, Xue Tianao was suddenly overwhelmed with a rush of disbelief. After accepting this seemingly impossible reality, an immense joy filled his heart.

"Hah...Hahaha...Hahahahaha! I’m alive! I knew I wouldn’t die! I’m the Chosen One after all, always dodging death at the last moment! You thought you could kill me? Dream on!"

Remembering Mengxi’s frustrated expression, the ethereal form of Xue Tianao couldn’t help but shudder with excitement.

However, the excitement soon gave way to calm, and the eyes he had made from his soul power gazed questioningly at the mysterious man who saved him.

Honestly speaking, Xue Tianao was still completely in the dark about what had just happened.

Contrary to Mengxi’s assumption, Xue Tianao did not know this man. After several looks, he found no recognition.

After a moment of thought, the chosen one spoke in a sincere and grateful tone,

"Thank you for your timely help. Your kindness is something I, Xue Tianao, will never forget. Could you perhaps tell me who you are? That way, I can repay you in the future."

Upon hearing Xue Tianao’s polite words, especially the phrase ’great kindness’, an unreadable smirk appeared in the eyes of the masked man.

However, the spirit form of Xue Tianao could not notice this and was expectantly waiting for the man’s reply.

The mysterious man slowly revealed a knowing smile under his mask, then, under Xue Tianao’s focused gaze, he replied with the same amount of courtesy and respect, albeit with a hint of apology,

"Oh, where are my manners? I apologize, Your Majesty. I forgot to introduce myself."

With that, he slowly removed his mask, revealing his true face hidden underneath.

His agate-colored eyes, occasionally shimmering with a deep purple, gave him an inscrutable look.

The cold, shining light in his eyes added a layer of aloofness. His high-bridged nose and distinct lips combined to form a strong, charming countenance.

With light makeup, his face was undeniably attractive. After a polite smile, the handsome man slowly spoke,

"I am the Left Protector of the Red Moon Tower, Anfrere Zizet, here to ’rescue’ your Majesty Xue Tianao under the orders of Red Moon Tower’s master."
