Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 528 - 529: Terrifying Destructive Power [1/2]

"Dieee!"

As soon as the purple-haired guy spat out those cold words, all this quiet but heavy energy around him focused into his massive sword. It turned into this crazy sword energy that went off like a storm, full of thunder and lightning. It was like some kind of monster that wanted to eat everything.

It was going for the silver-haired girl flying in the air.

In an instant, the earth shattered. Under the stunned gaze of Borulov, the Death Zone he had painstakingly constructed crumbled to pieces. The Star Square in Luminous, with its long history, was turned into ruins and buried in the annals of history. The undead rushing from all directions were also annihilated by the residual energy of the sword aura and the raging lightning!

Because Borulov was directly in the path of the purple-haired man’s sword, the overwhelming dark purple sword energy grew rapidly in his terrified eyes.

"What the...?"

The old man was so scared that he kept retreating. In a flash, even if Borulov exhausted all his strength to mobilize his power, the dark purple sword energy still shattered the forbidden curse circle he had created and turned the accumulated evil spirits into nothingness...

As for Borulov himself, he was split in half, vertically, while harboring feelings of disbelief and unwillingness.

His proud defensive magic was of no use; he was shattered into pieces by the sword.

This Grand Imperial Sorcer not only failed to release all his skills, but he couldn’t even let out a scream. Before he could understand the situation, he was inexplicably sliced into two pieces. His crimson eyes were filled with shock, unwillingness, and fear.

But obviously, the target of the sword energy was not Borulov; he was just in the way.

The purple-haired man had only one target: the Girl of Destiny. Killing Borulov was merely because he was in the wrong place and wrong time, an unfortunate placement...

After easily killing Borulov with one hit, Phillipe and the church’s members could only watch. The dark purple sword energy went straight for Mengxi in the air, attempting to completely devour and annihilate her...

…

Rumble, rumble!!!

Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, accompanied by waves of earth-shattering explosions, the sword energy that killed Borulov didn’t lose its power; it became even more powerful. The purple light carried the might of sky-reaching thunder, mixed with the torrential force of shadows, assaulting forward. Its unstoppable momentum swallowed and destroyed everything in its path.

Not only did it wipe out Borulov’s ’Scorched Earth’ zone, but it also ripped the sky apart. Even space itself seemed like it was about to break because of this crazy power.

After turning the entire Star Square into a wasteland of ruins and rubble, the dark purple sword energy further attacked forward. It split everything in its path: the vast forest outside, the Forbidden Palace in the central academy, and even the conference building in the northern part of the academy, along with the statue of the first Headmaster. Even a large port outside the northern gate was destroyed in an instant by shadow forces.

Countless spirits were inexplicably buried in a towering mushroom cloud.

As for the massive protective barrier around the academy, it goes without saying that it was swallowed by the sword energy due to some unknown spellcasting in the conference building. The powerful divine-level magical barrier inevitably disintegrated...

And so, under the stunned gaze of countless people, the entire Luminous Royal Academy, covering about 30 square kilometers, was effortlessly cleaved in half by the roaring sword from south to north. As the dark purple light dissipated, along with the sword energy, a large trench about ten meters wide appeared on the ground, stretching all the way to the north...

Rolling black smoke continued to emerge from the trench, mixed with the dense shadow power, began to corrode everything around it. It also brought feelings of madness and fear to all the spirits in the vicinity.

Those members of the academy’s guard who had finally mustered the courage to gather and support the square were stunned and showed signs of fear after feeling this unstoppable force. Some soldiers, lacking psychological resilience, even threw down their weapons and scattered in panic like headless flies.

Even worse, some were so scared they fainted on the spot.

Thick smoke filled the sky, people frantically running for their lives, explosions echoing to the heavens, continuous alarm sounds, coupled with the cries of horror from the crowd; the entire Luminous Royal Academy had fallen into an uncontrollable state, looked like the end of the world had come.

...

Outside Star Square, a blond man struggled to channel his magic to blast away the surrounding debris, gasping for air as he crawled out of the ruins. This man, dressed in the white knight attire of the Asumos Church, was none other than Phillipe, the son of Nick.

At this moment, the disheveled and grimy holy knight felt no joy for having saved dozens of students from the impact. Instead, he was filled with dread as he surveyed the devastation around him. Seeing the smoky environment engulfed in the terrifying shadow energy and soaring flames, Phillipe couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

For the first time, he felt utter despair and his own insignificance when directly facing the power of a Demon King.

Without a doubt, if he were to confront Sword Demon, a mere glance from the opponent would likely be enough to send him to the afterlife.

"Is this... the power of a Demon King? This... monster..."

Before he could ponder further, Phillipe’s eyes narrowed as he wiped the dust off his face. Ignoring his own bloody wounds, he hastily sent out an emergency call for help to the church while anxiously looking up at the sky.

"Mengxi, are you... are you alright?!"

As his mind cleared from the shock, Phillipe immediately recalled the last scene he saw before collapsing. That was the dark purple sword energy rushing toward Mengxi. Though Mengxi had the protection of Headmaster Vinarola, a mare seventh level couldn’t possibly withstand the eighth-level Demon King.

Even worse, the enemy was one of the scariest Demon Kings!

If they were swallowed by that terrifying attack just now, death would undoubtedly be certain...

Borulov’s fate was proof enough...

Catching a glimpse of two lumps of flesh that used to be Borulov, Phillipe couldn’t help but swallow hard.

A jittery Phillipe kept praying in his heart for the Girl of Destiny, hoping that the goddess would protect the one she had chosen. After all, in his eyes, if something happened to Mengxi, the entire continent of would fall into chaos, completely succumbing to the claws of demonic abyss.

Thankfully, this time, it seemed the goddess had heard his prayers.

When the rampaging dark purple lightning in the sky dissipated, a familiar silver-haired girl appeared in Phillipe’s line of sight.

"Is that... Miss Mengxi?! She’s... she’s alive?! Thank goodness!"

Seeing the silver-haired girl survive Sword Demon’s attack, the fear and anxiety in Phillipe’s eyes vanished, replaced by indescribable ecstasy. Overjoyed, Phillipe tightly gripped the emblem on his chest, continuously expressing his gratitude to the goddess he worshipped.

However, as joy filled his heart, a sense of confusion also spread through his mind.

Looking at the figure in the sky, Phillipe squinted.

’Miss Mengxi was saved, but how did she dodge that attack? And who is that... little girl?’

’Wings? Tail?’

’A Dragonkin little girl?!’

’Why is there a little dragon girl showing up out of nowhere?!’

On the other side, Star Square had already been reduced to ruins and a mess. Surrounded by thunder and terrifying shadows, a purple-haired man stepped forward, treading on Borulov’s scattered intestines and organs. He looked up at the silver figure in the sky.

Seeing that she had not been killed by his sword as he had expected, the purple-haired man tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm? What’s going on here?"

Pierre or self-proclaimed ’Sword Demon,’ mumbled to himself.

Pierre’s plan was simple and brutal. After knocking out Aya and taking her to a safe place, he changed out of his embarrassing maid outfit and slipped into Luminous Royal Academy’s ceremony in his combat suit. He planned to show off at the ceremony and permanently eliminate the Girl of Destiny.

Although the Girl of Destiny was stunning and beautiful, Pierre felt no pity for her. Anyone who could potentially threaten his mother’s existence was not allowed to live.

If anyone threatens his mom, he’ll cut them down!

When he saw the Girl of Destiny trying to escape, Pierre unhesitatingly swung his sword at her.

Even though he hadn’t fully unleashed his full power, Pierre knew that his ’Void Slash’ was more than enough to eliminate most enemies. Even a regular level 8 powerhouse couldn’t withstand this skill, let alone the Girl of Destiny, who was only at the sixth level.

He had intended to eliminate this threat with a single sword strike, then take away the Sacred Dragon’s Heart.

But to Pierre’s surprise, the frail Girl of Destiny in his eyes had actually survived his ’Void Slash’? If she had used some ’divine miracle’ to fend off this attack, Pierre would find it plausible.

However, she didn’t use any divine power and had just dodged it? His thunderous attack was actually avoided by this low-level girl?

’What the f@cuk is this?!’

Pierre felt annoyed and cursed a couple of times.

However, he soon figured out the reason.

His dark purple eyes unconsciously locked onto the dragon girl in the arms of the silver-haired girl.

"So… it was that brat? When did she appear? And this aura…"

Feeling the strong eighth-level magic power from the dragon girl, as well as the faint golden residual magic in the sky, Pierre smirked:

"Heh, so that’s how it is."

Although he wasn’t sure what exactly had happened, the dragon girl was clearly a manifestation of the Sacred Dragon Heart, as their auras were almost identical.

At the moment his attack was about to annihilate the Girl of Destiny, the Sacred Dragon Heart transformed into this dragon girl. Using her own powerful reflexes and magic, she managed to pull the Girl of Destiny and the academy’s Headmaster out of the range of his ’Void Slash’ at the last moment, thereby saving their lives.

’So, the Sacred Dragon Heart can think for itself and can even transform?’

"Intresting..."
