Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 556 - 557 : Retreat [3/4]

As the ’Hypnotic Particles’ and the dark purple energy within the battlefield rapidly combined, Kain was stunned to find that these superconductive particles had completely enveloped them.

The Sword Demon,

While he constantly wielded his giant sword, leading people to view him as a ’sword attribute’ creature, the essence of its power was still a mixture of lightning and darkness.

The combination of Thunder and superconductive particles...

Furthermore,

As mentioned, when these ’Hypnotic Particles’ encountered the Sword Demon’s dark energy, they would transform into superconductive particles. So, it was impossible for the monster to be paralyzed and stationary because of brain dysfunction! The monster just wanted to lure them over!

’Damn it!!’

"Quick! Retreat!!!"

Realizing the danger, Kain shouted hoarsely.

But it was too late.

At the center of the faint golden mist, Pierre slowly rose to his feet at this moment. The gigantic and terrifying energy helmet on him suddenly split open, revealing a sinister giant mouth. Grinning, Pierre raised his Silver Moon Sword in his hand and swung it down, piercing the earth.

"Die…!"

’Magnetic Thunderstorm!’

With Pierre’s inner rage, the raging Thunder and darkness energy, along with a vast sword aura capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, suddenly erupted from the Silver Moon Sword and rapidly dispersed from it. It quickly combined with the surrounding superconductive particles! In an instant, the devastating dark purple lightning, centered on Sword Demon, rapidly expanded and spread!

BOOM!!

The deafening sound of thunder shook the heavens and the earth, sounding like a galloping army, roaring and rushing unstoppably towards everything around it! Like a mountain collapsing, a world collapsing, the sound was deafening, heart-pounding, as if it were the prelude to the end of the world, leaving people in despair.

In the horrifying explosion, the dark purple electric light, like a sword capable of destroying everything, obliterated everything in the vicinity.

As the thunderstorm raged,

On the other side, Borulov was excitedly rushing forward, wielding the Death Reaper Scythe imbued with the death energy, laughing manically as he tried to strike Sword Demon, hoping to redeem himself with this attack! In his excitement and elation, Borulov didn’t pay attention to Kain’s warning in time.

Under the horrified gaze of Borulov, who was already terrified, the thunderlight suddenly expanded rapidly, like roaring dragons, and it rapidly approached his eyes, growing larger and larger..

?!!!!

"This, this… impossible…"

Before he could finish his words, the thunderous dragon engulfed Borulov.

In the midst of extreme unwillingness and anger, the consciousness of this imperial Grand Sorcer plunged into endless darkness,

His entire body, soul, and the dozens of necrotic behemoths that were rushing to his defense were obliterated in a flash, turned into dust. Without a doubt, even as a necromancer with a powerful life force, Borulov, now reduced to ashes, And could no longer be revived.

Seeing the thunderous light surge in with such terrifying power, Kain involuntarily took a deep breath and cursed Borulov’s plan in his heart.

"Damn it… what kind of crappy secret weapon… it’s more of a failure than a success!"

Faced with the thunderous light striking from all sides and knowing he couldn’t rush out of Sword Demon’s attack range in time, Kain decisively mobilized his holy magic and rushed towards the white-haired girl who was also unable to retreat.

In the next moment, Kain fiercely embraced the stunned Bai Yanluo, and the rich holy magic constructed the intent of thunder behind him, suddenly unfolding like a sturdy shield, enveloping and protecting the two of them.

Just as Kain’s defensive structure was completed, the spreading thunderous light swallowed them up.

For a time, thunderous light shot up to the sky, and the earth cracked.

As the three mages above the sky watched the battlefield below with disbelief, a surge of dark purple shadow power condensed into sword energy and suddenly struck from below, instantly reducing the three unresponsive royal mages to dust, disappearing with the wind…

…

--

While a world-shaking battle was unfolding within the Royal Academy of Luminous, within Red Moon Tower, Kalina was indifferent, even though one of the participants was her own brother. Whether it was because of the younger sister’s nature or absolute trust in her brother’s strength…

Well,

To be honest, Kalina even hoped that her foolish brother would suffer a setback and be taught a lesson, to curb his recklessness. He was always causing her trouble, making her head hurt. However, wanting her elder brother to suffer a setback might be a bit difficult…

After comforting her younger sister Yuan’er and letting the little girl continue to enjoy her dessert, Kalina’s attention turned to the black-haired maid who had not shown much emotion in the room.

Well,

Saying that the other party had no emotions wasn’t entirely accurate, after all, this maid had an extraordinary appearance, and her strength was at the mid stage level 7, making her an absolute powerhouse in the outside world. However, Kalina’s attention had been focused on her mother, and when she saw that the maid didn’t interfere in their family affairs, Kalina didn’t pay much attention to her.

But now.

Looking at the elegant maid who stood with her hands in front of her, smiling, Kalina narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although she knew some information about Youlan, and she understood the general plan behind Youlan’s actions, Kalina was still somewhat puzzled by the specifics of Youlan’s plan. From the current situation, Kalina felt that Youlan’s goal was to stimulate her mother, allowing her to fully unleash the suppressed power within her. This would allow her mother’s inherent tendency towards the Dark Shadow to manifest, and then she could kill the Girl of Destiny and completely erase humanity from this world.

Although Kalina often thought about how to eliminate the Girl of Destiny and how to completely eradicate the troublesome human forces, she didn’t completely agree with this plan from the bottom of her heart. She still hoped that her mother could retain her love and gentleness. At the same time, if they really eliminated humanity, they might not escape retribution.

Moreover...

"I always feel that Sister Youlan’s plan is not so simple..."

Kalina quickly analyzed it in her mind. If Youlan’s goal was really to completely release her mother from the shackles of her inner power, then why didn’t Youlan personally assist and put more pressure on her mother? Even if she didn’t participate directly, she should have set up ambushes near Red Moon Tower to prevent others from interfering in the battle inside, especially those like Kalina, After all, she had the ability to awaken her mother’s consciousness and stop the further release of her power.

If she were Youlan, she would definitely have set up other obstacles near Red Moon Tower to prevent outsiders from entering. However, Youlan didn’t do that.

Kalina couldn’t believe that her sister would overlook such a simple thing. Plus, since Youlan herself wasn’t inside Red Moon Tower, it made Kalina doubt whether Youlan had other, more important goals that required her to attract her mother’s attention and stimulate her mother’s power as a secondary objective.

With these thoughts in mind,

Kalina walked towards the black-haired maid not far away. She didn’t believe that the maid knew nothing. With her seventh-tier strength, she was undoubtedly a trusted member of their group.

’She should know some information’

Thinking about this,

Kalina walked toward the maid and didn’t hesitate to ask directly. A wave of scorching heat quickly spread from Kalina as the temperature in the room began to rise. Clearly, if the maid didn’t want to confess honestly, Kalina wouldn’t hesitate to use some cruel methods.

"What’s your name?"

"Reporting to Lady Kalina, I am called Shui."

With a respectful curtsy, the maid named Shui replied without changing her expression, even though she was surrounded by an extreme red shadow power.

" Shui, huh? Tell me, what does Youlan... no, what does your Tower Master want to do? Don’t try to hide it from me. I have a hundred ways to make you speak. If you don’t want to suffer, just..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t try to hide anything from you, Lady Kalina."

"Hah?"

Hearing this answer, Kalina couldn’t help but be surprised. She didn’t expect the other party to be so straightforward.

"So what is the ultimate goal of your Tower Master? Does she still want to deal with the Girl of Destiny after diverting my mother’s attention?"

After diverting her mother’s attention, what would Youlan do? The first thing that came to Kalina’s mind was killing the Chosen One. However, in the face of Inferno’s question, the black-haired maid in front of her seemed to have guessed Kalina’s thoughts and put on a meaningful smile.

"Killing the Girl of Destiny? Hehe, Lady Kalina, do you think that if it’s just that, you can really protect your mother?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Protect my mother?... Isn’t Sister Youlan’s goal the Girl of Destiny?"

"Of course not... emmm, it’s not quite right to say that... After all... Youlan-sama doesn’t plan to let that silver-haired girl go. However, because there is a more important goal, Youlan-sama will not personally take action against the Girl of Destiny as you imagine. So, you don’t have to worry. There is a more suitable candidate to complete this task on her behalf. Therefore, Youlan-sama asked me to tell you that she hopes you don’t act recklessly and continue to play the role of a good child, quietly watching."

"..."

"And she left one last thing for you"

-"Being a bad child, I can handle this role alone"-
