Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 395: Dodgeball Game [9/10]

In the eastern part of the Winter Forest,

Not far from the newly built mansion, on an open space,

Now that their mother, Yumo has begun her work,

The children, reunited after a long time and joined by the newly arrived little sister Yuan’er, have secretly started to cause a commotion~

These demon king-level little ancestors, strictly speaking, aren’t easy to gather together. In the past, besides the three little ones who always stayed in Winter Forest, Pierre, the elder brother, and Kalina, often went to the human world to carry out the so-called ’cultivation’ mission, and were rarely at home.

Especially in the last few decades, the number of times Pierre and Kalina returned to the forest could be counted on one hand.

On the other hand, although the three little ones stayed in the forest, due to Shuoyue’s racial characteristics, this demon king, known as Nightmare, often slept in the central lake region. Therefore, strictly speaking, for most of the time, only Limo and Liyu were accompanying each other in the forest.

Well,

With Yumo around, the two sisters never felt lonely anyway~

But regardless,

Now, except for their brother, and the eldest sister whom they have never met before, the sisters are nearly all gathered in the mansion. Plus, a new cute little sister has joined the big family. Therefore, when Yumo’s seriously began her ’seclusion’ to forge armor, the free-spirited Liyu and Limo decided to throw a long-overdue party to have a pleasant gathering and officially celebrate the new sister’s addition to the family.

To have a good gathering and formally celebrate the new sister joining the family.

For this proposal, Kalina, Shuoyue, and Yuan’er naturally had no objections. Thus, the sisters began merrily playing near the mansion and within the boundary. Seeing this, several members of the Black Rose family, led by Xiao, wisely hid in a safe place ...

At first, everything was normal. The sisters bathed together, had picnics, took walks, and even went on a friendly ’visit’ to other good neighbors in the forest to help Yuan’er quickly become familiar with the surroundings.

...

The scenes were all normal until the little ones started playing a dodgeball game near the mansion~

The so-called dodgeball game has a long history in Winter Forest. As is well known, in the past, there were few entertainment activities in Winter Forest, other than listening to Yumo’s telling stories. Therefore, to pass the time, the demon king children, based on their mother’s descriptions, designed a new game called ’dodgeball’~

A small game to compete in strength, speed, and stamina~

Everything was fine,

The only problem was,

Emm,

It was a bit violent...

…..

…..

Everything happened too quickly. As she sensed something was wrong, a sudden force exploded forth.

"Surprise! Take that, Sister Kalina!"

Liyu, who was pretending to be on the verge of tears, suddenly revealed a cunning smile, and with a vigorous flick of her wrist, she hurled another iron ball, empowered by her unique Emerald Shadow Force. This time, the trajectory was strange and unpredictable, as if it had been meticulously planned.

Kalina, caught off guard by this sudden change, realized that she had been tricked by her lovely sister. Her eyes widened as she tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom!*

The iron ball struck, and Kalina was sent flying back with a surprised expression on her face. She quickly stabilized herself in mid-air, a proud smile appearing on her face. She hadn’t expected Liyu to be so crafty.

"You got me Liyu! That was an excellent trick!" Kalina laughed, genuinely impressed by her sister’s ingenuity.

Liyu pouted playfully; her earlier tears replaced by triumph.

"Hehe, I got you! You shouldn’t have underestimated me, Big Sis!"

The other team members, Limo, Shuoyue, and Yuan’er, couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the successful prank. They all joined in congratulating Liyu on her clever strategy.

As they continued to enjoy their game, the relationship between the sisters, full of love, competition, and mischievous fun, shined brightly. They all knew that despite their rivalry in the game, their bond was unbreakable. The laughter and joy they shared on this day would become a cherished memory, a testament to the love and understanding that bound them together.

Whether it was Liyu’s strategic mind or Kalina’s unyielding spirit, each sister had their unique strengths and characteristics. Together, they created a harmonious balance, both in the game and in their lives.

And so, the game went on, filled with laughter, teasing, and the occasional dramatic moment, just like the everyday lives of these magical sisters. They knew that no matter what happened, they would always have each other’s back, and nothing could ever change that.

…

….

Before Liyu had a chance to react, the look of grievance in her eyes vanished, replaced by a smug expression that was difficult to describe. A sly smile slowly spread across the little girl’s face. Mimicking her older brother, Liyu put a hand on her hip and pointed at Kalina with arrogance.

"Quick! Now’s the time! Do it, Limo!!"

"Huh?"

In the next instant,

"WOOF!!!" (I’ll show you my power!)

Accompanied by a thunderous noise, the ground shook violently. After a moment of earth-shattering tremors, debris flew, and a snow-white giant wolf burst forth, howling toward Kalina in mid-air! This suddenly emerging snow-white giant wolf was none other than Limo, who had been knocked unconscious by Kalina’s iron ball.

At this moment,

Limo shook off her previous defeat, suddenly opening her huge mouth wide. The dense red Shadow Force erupted forth, instantly sweeping everything around. Propelled by the Annihilation Beam, the iron ball in Limo’s mouth charged towards Kalina with an unstoppable force!

"Oh!~"

Seeing this, Kalina’s red eyes narrowed, a flash of realization crossing her face.

She understood,

Liyu was just pretending to cry and act cute, trying to distract her with those pitiful eyes. Limo had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack when her attention was drawn away by Liyu’s little trick.

Hmm,

’Not a bad at all~’

Kalina generously praised her little sisters,

However, looking at her sisters’ expectant eyes, Kalina shook her head helplessly.

"Did you think you could score points off me like this? Too naive, my dear little sisters~"

Even as the iron ball rapidly enlarged in her sight, Kalina maintained an unruffled expression. Unlike her sisters, who mainly stayed in Winter Forest under their mother’s protection, Kalina had fought countless strong opponents and had vast combat experience.

To hit her with such a blatant attack? It seemed like wishful thinking~

Though she wanted to give her sisters a few points to comfort them, the typically strict Kalina quickly dismissed the idea.

Firstly,

She had to make them understand that such simple tricks wouldn’t work in a real battle.

Secondly,

She needed to teach these two impudent girls that their big sister couldn’t be deceived so easily~

...

With the intention of teaching her sisters a lesson,

Under the disappointed and unwilling gazes of Limo and Liyu, Kalina’s delicate body suddenly twisted in an inconceivable motion, propelled by flames, effortlessly avoiding Limo’s aggression. Next, the power within the red-haired girl erupted, a fiery aura spreading in all directions, momentarily shattering the united front of Limo and Liyu.

"Little girls, it’s time to end this game~"

As she spoke,

Kalina lifted the giant iron ball in her right hand,

A blaze engulfed it, transforming it into a deathly meteor that seemed capable of obliterating anything.

Clearly, Kalina planned to use this strike to discipline her disobedient sisters.

However,

Just as she prepared to strike, the red-haired woman, who had been immersed in playing with her sisters and dodging the ball, suddenly shivered, her orange-red eyes shrinking in realization. At that moment, Kalina’s awareness was abruptly pulled from the game back to reality.

She, who had been enjoying the rare playful moment, instantly returned to her original mental state.

’Wait?!’

’The direction of Limo’s attack earlier... something seemed off?’

...

In an instant, a pale-faced Kalina hurriedly looked behind her,

At the place where the iron ball had been aimed,

There,

It wasn’t some unimportant mountain range, snowy field, swamp, or monster habitat, but their adorable little mansion...

"T... terrible!!!"

At that moment, Kalina recalled a serious problem,

Her mother seemed to be inside the mansion, forging some armor, and had instructed them not to disturb her.

At a time like this,

What did hurling a giant iron ball mean? How could Kalina, the obedient daughter, not understand?

...

Seeing the iron ball rapidly approaching the mansion and knowing she couldn’t prevent it, Kalina habitually started to ponder another vital, life-or-death question.

’Hmm,’

’Let me think,’

’In a situation like this,’

"...how can I blame this on my dear brother?"

.

…

…..

(Miles away, a certain maid in disguise shuddered involuntarily~)
