Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 345 - 346: Unspeakable [1/2]

"Hey, master, did you know? Xue Tianao is already dead."

"I know."

"Eh? We didn’t tell you yet?"

"I sent him the system, how could I not know when it returned."

"That’s true, sorry, sorry, I actually forgot about this. Oh right! Master, there’s another thing, I need to tell you! It’s about Mengxi!"

"What happened to that girl?"

"Well, she, and the disaster consciousness you selected(Yumo), are mixed together~ and their relationship seems a bit strange~"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing these words, in a certain grand palace, a silver-haired girl slightly opened her entrancing golden eyes, a pair of unknown yet ancient golden symbols prominently appeared inside her pupils.

"Heh~"

Near noon, in front of the residence where the people of the Asumos church lived in Molok City,

A girl wearing a substitute Asumos Saintess dress, possessing a face that could topple countries, was slowly walking toward the mansion in the winter wind. Seeing her, the church guards outside the mansion were overjoyed.

’The Girl of Destiny is back?!’

Mengxi who disappeared early in the morning for no reason finally reappeared, naturally making the people of the church feel relief and joy. After all, once Mengxi returned, they wouldn’t have to endure the angry pressure of Archbishop Nick anymore.

In their excitement, many white-clad believers couldn’t help but wave to the silver-haired girl, hoping to soothe their frightened souls through the Girl of Destiny’s smile.

Unfortunately,

This thought of theirs was destined to become a bubble.

Because just as the members of the church were about to greet Mengxi, the expression on the silver-haired girl’s face made everyone freeze in their tracks, standing in place not knowing what to do.

’Miss Mengxi?’

At this moment, the beautiful silver-haired girl’s face, which used to have a holy aura and a gentle healing smile, was replaced with an indescribable complex expression. While it didn’t look like anger or sadness, it gave everyone an overwhelming feeling of oppression from the depths of their souls.

This made everyone involuntarily swallow. At the same time, they swallowed back the thought of greeting the Girl of Destiny. For a while, it was so quiet outside the mansion that you could hear a pin drop, everyone closed their mouths, and all that was left was the sound of the cold wind.

In this way,

Under the terrified gaze of dozens of the church guards, Mengxi, who was enveloped in a complex emotion, step by step, entered the mansion.

She didn’t pay any attention to the shocked looks of the church guards around her, and headed straight into the mansion,

At this moment, Mengxi Was completely absent-minded, her mind kept replaying the conversation she had had with Yumo at the Black Rose Camp earlier,

---

---

"Sister Yumo, what exactly you are? Even though you’re an Abyssal Demon, you understand humanity so well. Not only do you not hate me, the Girl of Destiny, but you even want to drive out the Abyssal Demons and destroy Demon Temple?"

Just minutes ago, after successfully comforting Yumo, Mengxi seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been lingering in her heart.

That is,

What kind of being was this beautiful, simple, cute, and loving black-haired girl she liked so much?

At first,

Mengxi thought Yumo was a new demon king being transformed from a human.

However, in recent events, Mengxi gradually realized that her guess might be wrong. If Yumo was a newly born demon king, then her strength as a newly born Abyssal Demon was far too formidable.

During their time in Wind City, Yumo easily fended off the strongest attack from the leader of the Divine Punishment Sect Who possess the ability to control the Shadows in a large surrounding area. Although Wilt’s strength increased significantly after taking the pill, his body contained a large amount of Shadow energy. Did Yumo resolve Wilt’s attack by controlling this Shadow energy around him?

Perhaps this explanation could work somehow?

However,

’When facing Xue Tianao, Sister Yumo’s performance completely defied this theory. At that time, under the blessing of divine power, Xue Tianao’s momentum was enormous, incomparable to the previous Wilt. Moreover, divine power is not like Shadow power. It not only cannot be controlled by demon king beings, but it also causes unimaginable massive damage to them.’

’However, facing such an attack, Sister Yumo as an Abyssal Demon King effortlessly neutralized it, and even retaliated, blasting Xue Tianao’s body into dust. ’

The brutal force from the crimson Shadow energy eruption, like surging huge waves, still haunts Mengxi’s memory till now.

’Even just thinking about that scene gives me shivers.’

’To be able to obliterate someone as powerful as Xue Tianao, Sister Yumo’s strength must not be at the early stages of the eighth level. At the very least, she must be at the pinnacle of the eighth level, or even Higher...’

’If that’s the case, it would explain why every time I secretly sucked Yumo’s energy, even a tiny bit could bring me unbelievable improvements. As of now, after a passionate encounter with Sister Yumo, my strength has impressively reached the high stage of sixth level...’

Besides,

’Sister Yumo seems to have the ability to command other demon kings too. For instance, back at the Galrose Fortress, if my guess is right, it was Sister Yumo who ordered the retreat of Snow Devourer and the Abyssal Demon horde.’

’Exceptionally strong, able to control other demon kings,’

’It’s unlikely that Sister Yumo is just any newly born demon king being...’

’What exactly is her identity?’

’Why does she, as an Abyssal Demon, want to help me, the Girl of Destiny? Why does she want to drive out Abyss Demons and destroy the legendary Demon Temple?’

Mengxi was very curious about all of this,

Finally,

After deep consideration, she looked sincerely at Yumo and slowly asked the question she’d been hiding in her heart for a long time.

"Sister Yumo, can you tell me the truth?"

As these sweet, honey-dipped words, full of ’pleading,’ entered her ears, Yumo’s crimson eyes instantly narrowed, her shock evident. However, to Mengxi’s surprise, Yumo quickly regained her composure.

Facing Mengxi’s almost infallible innocent gaze, Yumo shook her head,

She appeared to have a secret she couldn’t disclose, revealing a bitter expression:

"I’m sorry, I can’t tell you... not now..."

"Can’t you?"

Mengxi held Yumo’s hand tightly, and softly asked again,

Unfortunately,

Mengxi still got a negative answer,

"I’m sorry..."

Yumo’s complexion was no longer flushed, instead, a complex look of struggle emerged on her face. Yet, in her refusal, her words carried a trace of purpose. After a brief exchange, Mengxi realized, Yumo would not reveal the truth to her.

At least, not for now.

’If Yumo didn’t want to tell me, then I would respect her decision.’

’Under such circumstances, forcing her would only make things worse’

"Alright then, I understand, Sister Yumo. If you don’t want to speak, I won’t ask anymore"

Mengxi smiled politely, not a trace of frustration on her lovely face due to the refusal. The girl’s smile was still sunny, still beautifully radiant...

...

--

However,

The shelf life of Mengxi’s smile was short. After making a promise with Yumo and returning to the Asumos camp, the smile on the girl’s face disappeared. Though she verbally respected Yumo’s decision, Mengxi couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness and a slight depression at the thought of the dark-haired girl hiding something from her.

Despite,

’I also keep many things from Sister Yumo...’

’Hehe, I’m kind of a hypocrite...’

Mengxi shook her head, inwardly ridiculing herself.

Walking briskly down the long corridor,

Her lavender eyes were filled with complexity and seriousness. The helpless and tangled expression on Yumo’s face when she answered her question kept playing in her mind.

’Sister Yumo must have something hard to say, right?’

Moreover,

’That feeling...’

After carefully recalling every subtle movement of Yumo at that time, a strange idea gradually emerged in Mengxi’s mind.

She didn’t know if it was just her illusion but,

’Yumo seemed not unwilling to speak...’

’It was more like she couldn’t speak,’

’As if some force was restraining Sister Yumo...’

’How strange.’

Stopping by the frozen pond, Mengxi let out a helpless sigh, gazing thoughtfully to the north. Mengxi had always believed that in a relationship, you need to respect the other’s privacy. If Yumo didn’t want to speak, she shouldn’t pry,

However,

Mengxi was growing more and more uneasy.

She didn’t know why,

Perhaps it was a woman’s intuition, but she had a feeling,

That when Sister Yumo voluntarily reveals the truth, she will deeply regret it...

No,

’Still, I must find a way to figure it out.’
