Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 530 - 531: The Sword Demon[2/2]

"Thunder Strike!"

With thunder energy all around him, Kain quickly shot out two hidden blades from his wrist gear. Boosted by his thunder wings, he zipped in front of Pierre and went all out on the him.

The lightning was so intense it looked like it would wipe out everything.

The hidden blades, imbued with the power of thunder, were repeatedly aimed at Pierre’s vital spots. Kain believed that once he hit the target, his skills would surely deal a heavy blow to Sword Demon.

However,

No matter how much he accelerated his attack speed, he could never actually pierce Pierre’s body.

Relying on his extraordinary reflexes, the purple-haired man effortlessly dodged every single one of Kain’s thrusts. For attacks coming from extremely tricky angles, Pierre twisted his body beyond normal limits to evade the Apostle’s strikes.

The constant misses started to irritate Kain.

The moment this irritation appeared, there was a slight pause in Kain’s continuous attacks. This opening was unsurprisingly seized by Pierre. His eyes narrowed, and with a punch, he shattered Kain’s formidable thunder stance and hit him squarely in the chest, sending him flying with a single blow.

Subsequently,

Pierre turned around, and his ’Silver Moon Sword’ roared as it released a sword light, suddenly blasting Bai Yanluo, who was covering from a distance, into the air...

--

*Cough, cough!!*

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Kain waved his hand to blast away the surrounding rubble and stood up from the ruins. Relying on the strong recovery ability brought by his Divine War Form, Kain’s injuries were quickly healed. However, He still maintained a very serious and uneasy demeanor, cautiously watching the purple-haired man in the distance.

’Is this Sword Demon?’

’So strong...’

’To think he could easily break through the combined attacks of Bai Yanluo and me like it was nothing...’

"How am I supposed to deal with such a monster?"

Kain let out a bitter laugh helplessly.

As far as he was concerned, he was simply following Archbishop Fiona’s orders to come to Luminous Royal Academy with Bai Yanluo to protect the Girl of Destiny. He thought it would be an easy task, as the two of them together would be more than enough to deal with Borulov.

Unexpectedly, their opponent turned out not to be Borulov, but a Demon king, and not just any Demon King but the infamous Sword Demon...

Although he wasn’t sure why the Sword Demon would appear here in human form, Kain had no time to ponder this question. The key issue right now was how to stop this guy!

However,

It seemed a bit difficult with just him and Bai Yanluo...

Thinking about how easily he got beat by the guy with purple hair, Kain felt super anxious. He looked at Bai Yanluo, who was also getting up from the rubble, and an idea hit him.

Then, He turned to the Necromancer he so despised:

"Mr. Borulov, although we’ve had many disagreements in the past, now... I hope you can cooperate with us."

Given the long-standing tension between Red Leaf Royal Family and the Church, Kain has never been fond of those who support the royal family. Borulov, being a necromancer, is someone he particularly dislikes. However, facing such a scary enemy Sword Demon, Kain had no choice but to suppress his displeasure and extend an offer for cooperation.

On the other side,

Borulov, who had gradually completed his regeneration from the blood pool and reassembled his body, was not a fool either.

He wanted revenge, but he also knew he couldn’t kill the Sword Demon on his own.

Upon hearing the Apostle’s request for cooperation, Borulov thought for a moment and then nodded, indicating his agreement;

" Got it "

Saying this,

Borulov slowly stepped forward to stand on the same battle line as Kain, waving his staff. In an instant, countless spirits emerged from the ruins and appeared in mid-air, joining Kain and Bai Yanluo in surrounding the purple-haired man.

"As long as we can kill this guy, any form of cooperation is acceptable!"

Hate filled Borulov’s words.

--

"..."

Looking at the endless spirits that were surging from all around, and sensing the holy energy building up around Kain and Bai Yanluo, Pierre, who was now the target of their joint assault, Pierre looked serious for the first time. He glanced over in the direction where Mengxi had gone.

’If this keeps up...’

’It would be difficult to find her again... And if I go directly, it won’t be a smooth process... ’

Pierre looked over at Kain, who was enveloped in a faint purple thunderous light, and pursed his lips in annoyance.

’This Thundery guy wasn’t great in other aspects, but he was quite fast. With him around, pursuing the Girl of Destiny wouldn’t be easy ’

’Add to that all these surrounding undead and that stubborn female swordsman’

’If I don’t deal with them all, I’m afraid it’ll be hard to complete my objective of killing the Girl of Destiny’

’Looks like’

’I’ll have to deal with these people first...’

With that thought, a cruel purple glint flashed in Pierre’s eyes. He started to consider whether he should start taking things seriously.

Unlike Kalina and Xiao, who go all out from the start, leaving no survivors, Pierre quite adheres to the ’boss guidelines’ set by his mother. One of these rules is to never use full power from the start! Only when the protagonist (the enemy) continually gets stronger can he appropriately unleash his power.

Apparently, this adds to the boss’s prestige.

Pierre quite agrees with this.

Every time an enemy releases new power and uses new moves, thinking they can defeat him, Pierre would very amiably unleash a bit more power, utterly quashing their hopes. At those times, the look of despair and shock on the enemy’s face is quite satisfying to Pierre.

That’s why Pierre initially appeared in human form; after all, this is his weakest state.

But now,

"Two high-level 8s, and one mid-level 8, huh?"

Sensing the robust holy aura and magical energy within the three nearby human, Pierre raised an eyebrow. While not extremely strong, these three level 8 powerhouses at least deserved for him to take things a bit more seriously. Not putting in some effort to deal with them quickly seemed somewhat unrealistic.

In that case,

Let’s play...

"Release mode..."

Grinning coldly, Pierre’s eyes flashed with a fighting spirit.

The next moment,

Under the watchful eyes of the three strong humans,

A crazy mix of thunder light and dark purple energy exploded around Pierre. The force was so intense it turned nearby ruins to dust. Dark and thunder energy started to gather around him, creating a huge ghostly figure that wrapped around Pierre.

The "Silver Moon Sword," filled with a destructive aura, also heeded the call of its master’s power. Breaking its own restraints, it started to expand instantly...

BOOM!!!

The next moment,

A beam of purple light, as if symbolizing the end of the world, shot up into the sky...

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

Accompanied by terrifying roars,

In front of Kain and the others, a huge figure started to take shape. A heavy pressure filled the air.

In the distance,

A blonde knight wearing a tattered red cape was hurriedly escorting a man beside him. They were making all possible efforts to distance themselves from where the Sword Demon was. However, the knight’s face changed dramatically as a terrifying wind pressure approached.

Rushing behind the man, he quickly mobilized all his strength to counter the oppressive force of the dark shadows that howled from afar.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Feeling the terrifying power within this aura, the blonde knight was sweating profusely, his face pale. After finally stabilizing his emotions, he anxiously looked at the prince he was protecting and voiced his concern:

"Your Highness Amon! Can... can Lord Borulov, along with those two Apostles, win against that monster?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Amon, the second prince of the empire, fell silent and stared gravely at the dark purple beam that tore through the sky in the distance.

After pondering for a moment, Amon shook his head pessimistically:

"They can at best hold him off for a while. If they can’t break through Sword Demon’s armor, which can distort any attack... they’re doomed."

"What should we do then?"

"Take me to find Father and Mother... We still have some trump cards left..."
