Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 607 - 608: Brushing Shoulders with the Grim Reaper FIxed

’What’s happening?!’

Witnessing everything before her, Huiming, the Church’s sacred beast, was shocked beyond measure, frozen like a half-cut log.

Staring doubtfully at the scene, her gaze fixed on the withered corpse on the ground.

’Kael Korod?’

’That bastard, Is Dead, just like that?’

Huiming’s brain went dumb as shit.

In her eyes, although Kael was a damn bastard, an undeniable piece of living trash, she had to admit his fucking strong power. This asshole ranked at the top among humans, even capable of fighting those at the peak of the Demon kings like Sword Demon and Inferno.

’This mighty bastard, just crushed casually by that black-haired girl?’

’This ’Blood Butterfly’ girl, is she even more powerful than that Higanbana? When did the Abyssal Demons get such a terrifying new player?!’

Huiming couldn’t believe what she was seeing, doubting her own eyes.

But,

The bloody stench in the air, and the continual collapse of Kael’s holy energy, forcefully confirmed the reality of the situation...

Realizing that the man she hated was finally dead, joy surged in her heart.

However,

Before she could even relish this delightful pleasure, a monstrous sense of danger crashed down like a mountain, pinning Huiming in place. At that moment, Huiming faced a heart-wrenching truth: the black-haired girl who killed Kael was now eyeing her.

The bloody Shadow power, like a pack of hunting wolves, surrounded her from all sides.

The grim killing intent and the absolute power that buried Kael made Huiming feel an unprecedented suffocation. Her heart stopped, her body turned pale, and fear, like a demon crawling out of the abyss, gripped her soul, dragging it into the bottomless pit of despair.

At that very moment of eye contact with those bloody red eyes, Huiming felt as if she saw the Grim Reaper waving at her.

’No good! She’s targeting us now?!’

’Haha…’

’Haha...’

’Well do I say as expected of demons?’

’Even in my weakened state, I am still filled with a vast amount of holy energy, making me a prime target for Abyssal Demons - it’s only natural...’

’Abyssal Demons, those creatures that despise the any holy attribute power, wouldn’t possibly let me go’

’But…’

’But still...’

Gritting her teeth, Huiming shakily turned her head to look at the trembling little fluffy ball hiding behind her. Seeing her daughter engulfed in fear, Huiming’s body trembled uncontrollably, and a sense of despair spread wildly within her. She knew that if things continued like this, both she and her daughter would be annihilated by ’Blood Butterfly’.

’This monster can kill Kael in an instant…’

’A weak sacred beast like me, along with a powerless child, stand no chance against her...’

"No! Now’s not the time to think like this!"

Shaking her head furiously, Huiming suppressed the despair in her heart.

’Even if hope is faint, I must try…’

’After all…’

’If I don’t try, death is certain….’

’The Abyssal Demon girl is attracted by my aura! If I act as bait, maybe my daughter can escape?!’

Regardless of whether the plan is feasible or not,

Thinking thus, She let out an unprecedented low growl towards the little pink furball behind her:

"Aoowwwww!!!!" (Run! Run as far as you can!!!)

As she roared,

Ignoring her child’s pitiful cries, Huiming swung her massive tail, hurling the little fluff ball into the remaining bushes in the distance...

And Huiming, propping up her weak body, painfully rises from the ground and unleashes a hysterical roar at the black-haired girl in front of her. Then, with the last ounce of her strength, she bellows and charges at the black-haired girl!

’I will do everything in my power to buy time for my child to escape’

Sadly, before she could take two steps, several bloody butterflies suddenly appear in front of Huiming.

The next moment, a violent surge of crimson energy slams into Huiming. Standing up and charging in her weakened state, a miracle in itself, to resist the black-haired girl’s pressure is a fool’s dream.

Unsurprisingly, as the gale howls past, Huiming’s massive body collapses. No matter how much she struggles, she can’t get up and can only watch despairingly as the black-haired girl slowly raises her hand.

Feeling the dense power of shadow accumulating at the girl’s fingertips, Huiming bitterly shakes her head and lets out a final, feeble moan.

"I hope... my child... can escape..."

This is the last wish of the Sacred beast.

However, just as Huiming was praying desperately in her heart, hoping her daughter could escape, a familiar aura shockingly re-entered her senses. Under Huiming’s stunned gaze, the little pink filly ball she had thrown away earlier, now with all her might, turned into a streak of pink light and charged in front of Huiming.

The little fluffy ball puffed up, taking an aggressive stance against the abyssal demon girl.

"Aoowoo!! Aoowooowooowoo!! Aoowooowooowooowoo!!!"

The little fluffy ball roared with all her might.

Out of fear, the little Sacred beast was already trembling all over, even wetting herself as she ran in front of her mother.

Her power was so insignificant, probably no better than an ant in front of the demon girl. But still,

The little Sacred beast gathered all her strength, trying to protect her mother, roaring defiantly at the enemy. The desire to protect her mother, at this moment, surpassed the fear of the enemy.

Seeing her little child roaring in front of her,

Huiming’s heart was shaken, her body trembling as if struck by thunder.

"You... you silly little child, what the hell are you doing..."

Huiming, who had never scolded her child in her life, now had tears in her eyes, scolding softly.

A mixture of emotions like a breached flood spread wildly in Huiming’s heart.

Her child’s actions made Huiming feel a complex mix of emotions – moved, angry, helpless, and despairing.

But no matter what,

With the shadow power accumulating in the hands of the black-haired girl, the fate of the mother and daughter was sealed.

"This is... really the end..."

Years had passed, and not only had she not regained freedom, she had also dragged her child into this demise at the hands of the abyssal demon.

’Perhaps this was retribution….’

’Retribution for my past misdeeds….’

Gently lifting her hand to hold the small sacred beast, Huiming closed her eyes, feeling hopless with a heavy heart.

...

However, just when Huiming thought everything was coming to a disastrous end and their Kirin species would become extinct on the continent, she suddenly sensed an unusual aura around her. The overwhelming murderous intent targeting her began to disappear?!

’What the hell?!’

Confused, Huiming courageously opened her eyes and looked towards the black-haired girl not far away.

Then, Huiming’s eyes narrowed in unexpected astonishment.

"Eh... why?"

As Huiming mumbled in confusion,

The terrifying shadow force in the black-haired girl’s hands, which could have reduced the sacred beast mother and daughter to ashes, suddenly collapsed, turning into a myriad of crimson light points that were swallowed up by the vast night, vanishing without a trace. Although the girl wore a mask, Huiming could feel her gaze intently fixed on the still snarling pink fluffy ball in her arms.

Even knowing she couldn’t stand against the girl,

Huiming instinctively held her child tightly, protecting her.

But soon,

Huiming realized her actions were unnecessary.

The girl’s gaze no longer held the despair-inducing chill and overwhelming murderous intent of before. Instead, it gradually became calm and gentle, even the ghostly, wailing red energy waves losing their hostility and slowly being retracted into the girl’s body.

The girl thus withdrew her right hand, abandoning her attack on the sacred beast mother and daughter.

This situation left Huiming utterly baffled, her brain feeling bombarded as if by a meteor shower, plunging into a state of shutdown.

’What... what’s going on?’

The next instant,

While Huiming was still bewildered, even slightly stupefied, the black-haired girl carefully nurtured a blue seed in the palm of her hand.

With a flash of red light,

The black-haired girl, turning into a swarm of bloody butterflies, vanished from Huiming’s sight.

In that moment,

In the Heavenly Garden, there was nothing left but a vast wasteland washed by shadows, a withered corpse, a dazed and confused sacred beast,

And,

A little pink fluffy ball, smugly thinking she had scared off the bad guy, looking around victoriously in her mother’s arms...

...

"Where did she go?"
