Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 579 - 580 :Awakening Consciousness

"It seems like she fell asleep," Yumo said with a soft smile.

Yumo whispered softly.

At the same time,

Yumo couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. She was relieved that Mengxi had already deactivated her divine power mode. Otherwise, Yumo would not dare to save the dying girl. Even if she did save her, who knows if Mengxi would end up dead by Yumo’s hands the next moment she opened her eyes.

However,

Even so,

The remnants of divine and holy power on the delicate body of the silver-haired girl continued to stimulate Yumo’s senses, tempting the brutal impulses within her heart. To Yumo, Mengxi was still a hot potato. A little carelessness, and she might lose consciousness again.

Aware of this, Yumo tensed her nerves.

At the same time, she clenched her teeth.

The surrounding shadows and a few blood butterflies rapidly converged, compressed, and transformed into a fine sword radiating a chilling light.

With a hardened heart, Yumo released the defensive shadow power around her thigh. Under the control of her consciousness, the crimson sword swiftly pierced through her thigh. Instantly, blood flowed profusely, and the scarlet blood ran down Yumo’s leg, dripping from her fingertips.

"Agh..."

A sharp pain immediately struck Yumo’s brain, causing her to grit her teeth in pain, a look of suffering appearing on her beautiful face.

’Ouch, that hurts...’

Yumo murmured to herself.

In the past few hundred years, Yumo had hardly suffered any injuries, and if she did, they were minor injuries that were almost negligible. As a result, her tolerance for pain seemed to be a bit low now...

However,

The pain caused by the shadow’s stimulation was not too intense, and Yumo’s own willpower, combined with the awakening sensation of pain, helped her stabilize the desires within her heart. The crimson glow in the depths of her eyes gradually dissipated.

"Hoo~"

At this point, Yumo couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Then,

Yumo looked at the silver-haired girl in her arms with a somewhat pained expression. She gazed at the girl’s mangled limbs, covered in burns, and the bloody scars on her face. Yumo felt like her hear will be broken anytime now. Mengxi’s injuries now were much more severe than when they were at Galrose Fortress or the Wind City.

If it weren’t for Mengxi’s physical transformation after breaking through to the holy rank, she would have likely become a cold corpse under the backlash by now.

Now, this girl, it was likely that she had already passed away under the backlash, becoming nothing more than a lifeless corpse.

Although she knew that the Girl of Destiny had to endure life-and-death battle after another to grow, seeing Mengxi in such a precarious state still made Yumo feel heartache.

However, amidst the heartache, there was also satisfaction.

Yumo never expected that Mengxi would break through to the Seventh level at this critical moment. And relying on the state of Miracle, she could fight against a Peak level 8. One could say that she truly lived up to her title as the Girl of Destiny. To have such incredible resilience.

And besides,

’To be injured to this extent and still have the energy to care about others...’

’If it were me who was injured like this, I would probably have already been rolling on the ground, wailing in pain…’

’Oh well…’

"Anyway, you did well. Rest assured, little girl. I’ll take care of things from here."

As she spoke,

Yumo lowered her head slightly, like a dragonfly lightly kissing the surface of water, and planted a kiss on Mengxi’s forehead.

For a moment, an extremely warm atmosphere seemed to envelop both of them,

However,

Just at this moment, an untimely roar suddenly resounded in Yumo’s ears, causing her eyebrows to furrow slightly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

A howl that sounded like a wail from a ghost or a cry suddenly echoed through the air, whipping up a fierce wind as it rushed towards them from below.

In the next moment,

The power within the Demon Dragon’s body was completely unleashed, and under the embrace of the azure energy, it suddenly spread its wings and soared into the sky. Without hesitation, it charged toward Yumo in the high sky. For the Demon Dragon at this moment, it had only one obsession in its mind, and that was to eliminate the Chosen One.

For this purpose,

Any existence blocking its path would be destroyed.

No matter how powerful the opponent was.

Ignoring the vast crimson shadow that permeated the sky, the demon dragon roared and charged towards Yumo, gathering an endless stream of azure energy in its mouth. It was clear that the demon dragon intended to send both the Girl of Destiny and the unknown black-haired girl to their deaths with its dragon’s breath fire.

"Hmm?"

Glancing at the gigantic creature rushing towards them from below, Yumo’s eyes showed a complex expression. She couldn’t help but want to blast it to pieces for what it did to Mengxi. However, thinking of the identity of the dragone, Yumo hesitated.

"Meliora..."

In the girl’s crimson eyes, a certain golden-haired dragon loli’s gradually appeared, and this figure gradually overlapped with the gigantic creature below.

Although the Dragon’s appearance and aura had undergone earth-shaking changes, Yumo saw through the essence of the dragon with a single glance.

’That girl…’

’What happened to her? Why did she suddenly change like this?’

’Was it’

’Youlan’s doing?’

Yumo cast a sidelong glance at the azure flames burning in the dragon’s chest, sensing the familiar power and aura of her eldest daughter within the flames. Yumo quickly made a judgment. And this judgment coincided with her previous speculation.

’Youlan, indeed, intended to take action against Mengxi’

’This dragon seemed to have absorbed some of the Soul-Gathering Demon’s power and the power belonging to Xue Tianao. As a result, it had absolute control over Mengxi. It was a miracle that Mengxi had held out for so long’

Furthermore,

"Youlan, what did you do to Little Meli?"

Looking at the fierce-looking demon dragon, a tangle of emotions flickered in Yumo’s eyes.

In the past, faced with such a mindless and frenzied monster, Yumo would have annihilated it without hesitation. However, this dragon was Meliora’s transformation, and that dragon loli was Yuan’er’s friend. If Yumo were to destroy it, it would hurt Yuan’er.

But even if she didn’t destroy it, she couldn’t just let it run wild.

’Sigh…’

’Really….’

"Can’t you stay calm for a bit?"

Yumo muttered to herself.

Yumo squinted her eyes slightly and said coldly. A chilly and murderous intent spread out from the girl, making even the demon dragon in the sky feel a trace of fear.

Next

Before the dragon’s azure flame could erupt,

Yumo had already teleported and appeared in front of the Demon Dragon.

The black-haired girl suddenly raised her leg high,

And then kicked the dragon’s head with all her strength.

If Mengxi were awake, she might have warned her oblivious sister about the boldness of such an attack that risked exposing her underwear. But Yumo, holding Mengxi in her arms, had only her legs to use.

"Boom!!!"

With a resounding crash, Yumo’s delicate foot directly hit the dragon’s head, shattering the indestructible dragon scales and dispersing the accumulated azure energy in its mouth. The dragon, dazed by the impact, plummeted from the sky and crashed into the ground.

This powerful strike not only elicited an agonized howl from the dragon but also awakened a long-dormant consciousness within it.

...

...

Meliora: Huh??

Meliora: "W-what, what am I... doing? Where... where am I?"
