Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 590 - 591: An Unexpected Visitor

The woman with emerald green ear-length hair, looking heroic and valiant, is the famous Most Powerful Woman of Red Leaf Empire, the Queen of the North - Anliya.

Anliya directly entered the palace’s main hall from the sky, surrounded by her green fighting aura, an action that seemed to greatly displease the Prime Minister Panlun, who couldn’t help but step forward and reprimand:

"Northern Queen! How dare you enter the palace like this without reporting? You should know that this can be considered a rebellious act!"

The conservative Panlun pointed at Anliya’s nose, his eyes filled with displeasure.

However,

At this moment, Anliya did not argue with the Prime Minister as usual, but instead went straight to the center of the main hall. She then respectfully knelt on one knee, offering the highest greeting to the Emperor sitting above.

"Queen of the North Anliya, greets Your Majesty."

Hearing his sister’s voice, the Emperor Ojin, who had been closing his eyes for a long time, slowly opened his pale green eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of time, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"No need for such formalities, Liya"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Liya, you said earlier you have something to report? What is it? Why are you so anxious?"

Emperor Ojin asked straightforwardly, as he was very aware of the seriousness in his sister’s face. Most of the time, Anliya was carefree and indifferent.

After receiving her brother’s instruction, Anliya suddenly raised her head, her green eyes filled with solemnity:

"Your Majesty, Yu - Black Rose, the new teacher of Luminous, is the seventh Demon King Abyss Demon - Bloody Butterfly!"

"?!"

"!!!"

"What did you say?! Bloody Butterfly? Who?"

At this statement,

Including Emperor Ojin, everyone’s expressions in the room changed drastically. The tension that had eased due to the defeat of the Sword Demon tightened again.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the Prime Minister Panlun hurriedly approached Anliya to inquire further.

His words were filled with disbelief.

After all,

If it’s really a Demon King Abyss Demon, doesn’t that mean their detection systems are just for show? That woman has been in Luminous for such a long time, and they haven’t noticed anything?

And,

If she’s really a Demon King, how did she manage to get along with humans for so long?

Abyssal Demons are known for their brutal and ruthless nature!

"Northern Queen, are you sure about this? How did you confirm it? Do you have any evidence?"

Facing the question, Anliya responded with a serious gaze,

"I personally witnessed it through an eagle I controlled with my spirit manipulation technique while searching for traces of the demon dragon. The lady of the Black Rose family was surrounded by countless crimson butterflies and enveloped in a power of deep red shadows. Those bloody butterflies were identical to those controlled by Bloody Butterfly! Additionally, that person directly killed the demon dragon. The power she wielded was definitely not that of an ordinary level 8."

Anliya then turned her gaze to Amon, standing nearby:

"Didn’t you also send someone to investigate that young lady before, suspecting she had the ability to turn people into abyssal demons? Isn’t this also a capability of a Demon Kings?"

"Indeed,"

Amon nodded slightly, noncommittally.

"You sent Boran to secretly investigate that young lady, didn’t you? What were the results?"

"This... After the attack by Sword Demon, they disappeared. I haven’t been able to contact them since."

"Disappeared? Maybe they were silenced?"

Anliya stated confidently.

However,

Despite this, Prime Minister Panlun, standing by, was still somewhat reluctant to accept the reality and shook his head:

"A Demon King? In human form? Able to blend into a crowd for so long? How is that possible?"

However,

As Panlun was struggling with this idea, Emperor Ojin, sitting on the throne, slowly spoke:

"I believe Liya. She is not someone who makes baseless claims. Besides, nothing is impossible. Didn’t we also think that all Demon Kings were in monster forms? Who would have thought that today, the Sword Demon would suddenly appear in human form? If they possess such high intelligence, hiding among humans is probably not difficult. But, what exactly is her purpose?"

"Your Majesty!"

Anliya stood up and spoke solemnly:

"Regardless of her purpose, her existence is a huge threat and hidden danger. The Sadik Empire and the Black Rose family have significant enmity with us. We were only temporarily at peace due to the invasion of SkyeDome incident. At this critical moment, the Black Rose family sending their young lady to our country surely does not bode well. The Black Rose family cannot be unaware of Yu-Black Rose’s true identity. Therefore, brother, for the sake of national security, we must expel her, or even... eliminate her."

"Hmm."

Hearing these words, Emperor Ojin raised his hand to his chin, deep in thought.

However,

Before Emperor Ojin could speak, the noble and elegant black-haired woman sitting beside him, the Empress Seraphina, couldn’t help but be the first to ask:

"That Bloody Butterfly, didn’t she defeat the demon dragon? Wasn’t that Monster at the peak of level 8? Then the bloody butterfly… Such a person, Anliya, how do you plan to deal with her? Could it be…"

Faced with the escalating situation, Anliya suggested, "If necessary, we can invite the Black Rose young lady to the palace under the pretense of a royal invitation. Then, the Great Ancestor can take action."

"But if the Great Ancestor takes action…"

"Your Highness the Empress, we can’t hesitate. Look at what the Sword Demon and Higanbana did today. If we leave Bloody Butterfly unattended, she may cause even more severe damage in the future. A Demon King is like a ticking time bomb!"

As she spoke,

Anliya turned her gaze back to Emperor Ojin, the supreme leader responsible for the final decision.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Not only Anliya, but all the pillars of the empire including the princes and the Prime Minister, focused their attention on Emperor Ojin, waiting for his directive.

In that moment,

the council hall fell into a deafening silence.

However,

Just as Anliya looked expectantly at the Emperor, the powerful level 8 Queen of the north furrowed her brows as if sensing something, and looked somewhat displeased towards the back:

"Why is he here?"

Upon hearing Anliya’s words, those who were slow to react turned their attention to the main entrance of the hall.

At that moment,

led by four soldiers of the Imperial Guard and a high-ranking military officer, a figure clad in a white gold robe and wearing a pure white mask, exuding an almost imperceptible aura of pressure, was stepping up the stairs, finally entering the council hall.

The holy aura around him and the iconic platinum long robe with the emblem of the Church of Asumos clearly indicated the identity of the newcomer.

It was one of the four holy envoys exclusive to the Pop Kael.

"Hmph…"

Anliya, who was not on good terms with the Church, couldn’t help but speak disdainfully:

"Why are you here?"

Her words were full of hostility, even a tinge of green aura shimmered around her fists.

But at that moment,

Emperor Ojin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"Calm down, Liya. This person is my guest."

"Guest?"

Anliya was taken aback,

looking somewhat unexpectedly at her own brother.

On the other hand,

Hearing Emperor Ojin’s words, the white-robed Holy Envoy kneeled down without hesitation and paid respects to the emperor. A gentle and melodious voice, like wind chimes, reached everyone’s ears,

"Thank you for your invitation, Your Majesty."

Then,

the Holy Envoy turned to look at Anliya, who was somewhat stunned:

"Moreover, Northern Queen, forgive my frankness, but your plan is not suitable."

"What do you mean?"

"If it’s just dealing with an ordinary Demon King, your idea might work, but if it’s against ’Bloody Butterfly’, such an action would be suicidal."

Anliya: ??!!

"I have a better proposal."
