Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 633 - 634: The final boss

Inside the Teachers’ Apartment,

After setting up the warning barrier, Sebastian, the chief butler of the Black Rose, cautiously approached the front of the living room. After a brief mental strategizing, Sebastian abandoned the elegance of a butler and sneaked behind the wall, peeking his head out towards the interior.

There,

In the spacious living room, the lights were extinguished, and everything was immersed in the slightly cool, bright moonlight. A silent atmosphere pervaded the room, within which a hint of sorrow was hidden. The blue crystal window of the living room, newly repaired, was wide open, welcoming the chilly night breeze inside.

At this moment, a girl sat quietly on the window sill, barefoot, wearing a thin red gauze dress. She leaned against the window frame, silently gazing at the peaceful night scene outside.

Under the caress of the cold wind, her black and red hair fluttered in the wind, smooth and soft like waves.

Her appearance, coupled with her role as a black-haired girl, formed a beautifully moving painting.

Her glance was radiant, captivating the heart.

Seeing this exquisitely beautiful scene, even Sebastian, who had been familiar with her for a long time, was involuntarily stunned for a few seconds.

However,

As the old butler of the Black Rose family with strong resolve, Sebastian quickly regained his composure, thoughtfully observing the black-haired girl. The girl, from beginning to end, gazed outside the window, seemingly unaware of Sebastian’s arrival.

Clearly,

She was deep in thought.

Otherwise, even if she suppressed her powers to hide her identity, Sebastian would not have been able to evade her perception.

"Lady Yumo..."

The old butler whispered softly with complex emotions.

A few hours earlier,

After learning from his subordinates that the Chosen One had come to visit, Sebastian bit his lip in anger. To the old butler, this Chosen One seemed like a bad person trying to deceive their Lady Yumo with her beauty, and Sebastian wished nothing more than to quickly deal with her.

Considering the Chosen One’s strength and her relationship with Lady Yumo, Sebastian naturally did not dare to act rashly. He had to honestly report the visit of this Chosen One to Yumo.

While reporting, Sebastian had already ordered the servants of the Black Rose family to start preparing for the honored guest.

Although the Chosen One was hated, the image of the Black Rose family still needed to be well maintained.

However,

The next moment, Yumo’s response left Sebastian with an unexpectedly shocked expression.

"Just say I’m not available, and ask her to leave"

"Alright, I’ll just invite her in... Huh?? Wait?! Milady?! What did you say?! Ask her to leave?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure, to send her away? In the past, didn’t you always—?"

"I don’t think I need to repeat myself, Sebastian."

"...My Apologize... I understand, Lady Yumo."

--

Recalling the brief conversation with Yumo, Sebastian scratched his head, filled with doubt.

Ever since Lady Yumo and the Girl of Destiny had their falling out, she had been investing a lot of energy in nurturing her. After coming to the Luminous Royal Academy, she often accompanied the Chosen One.

Every time the Chosen One visited the apartment, Lady Yumo would joyfully welcome her.

’But why this time? Why did Lady Yumo suddenly change her attitude?’

That indifference in her words was completely different from the past.

Sebastian was utterly confused.

’Could it be that something happened yesterday? Something that made Lady Yumo change her usual approach?’

However,

While pondering, a slight smile crept onto Sebastian’s lips, a wave of uncontrollable joy spreading in his heart.’ The reason why Lady Yumo was ignoring Mengxi was unimportant; what mattered was that Lady Yumo had changed her attitude toward her’

’As long as Lady Yumo reduced her contact with that vixen girl, it was a cause for celebration’

’Hehe~’

’Could it be that Lady Yumo got tired of her?! Even gave up on the nurturing plan?!’

’If that’s really the case~’

’That would indeed be great news!’

Sebastian mused excitedly in his heart, his body trembling slightly with joy.

However,

As the old butler was covering his mouth and snickering, he suddenly noticed a small pink figure in the corner of his eye.

"Miss Yuan’er?"

At this moment, a little pink-haired girl wearing pajamas and holding a little white dragon had somehow arrived at the other side of the living room door, silently observing the black-haired girl on the windowsill, just like Sebastian. However, unlike Sebastian’s joyous expression, Yuan’er’s little face was completely downcast, her lips pouted, clearly unhappy.

Even the little creature in her arms was being suffocated due to her annoyance, foaming at the mouth and fainting.

Clearly,

Because of Yuan’er’s unconscious strength, the pet white dragon, already weak, directly bore the brunt of the little devil’s ’strangling’ technique.

Seeing this, Sebastian couldn’t help but show a sympathetic look towards the little white dragon.

At the same time, Sebastian was surprised and puzzled by Yuan’er’s reaction. He thoughtfully adjusted his monocle.

’What’s with Miss Yuan’er?’

’???’

’Why this reaction?’

Sebastian frowned slightly.

Logically, Lady Yumo refusing to see the Chosen One and gradually distancing herself from her should be a scene everyone would be happy to see. If Kalina, Liyu, Limo, and the others heard this news, they might even wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

’But why? Why isn’t Miss Yuan’er happy? Instead, she showed an expression of reluctance and even disappointment.’

’Could it be that Miss Yuan’er wanted the Chosen One to get closer to Lady Yumo?!’

’Do we have a traitor among us?!!’

’Could it be that this little one is the reason for my repeated failures before?!’

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Sebastian’s expression changed drastically.

However,

The next moment, the old butler shook his head, dismissing the ’unrealistic’ speculation in his mind.

’No, no, no,’

’That’s impossible...’

’How could Lady Yumo’s child have such thoughts?’

"It must be, I’m thinking too much. It must be because Lady Yumo has been in a daze, and Miss Yuan’er is disappointed and reluctant because she can’t sleep with her mother... Yes, that must be it..."

’We’re the ones who usually spot traitors in other factions, how could we possibly have one, haha~’

Sebastian comforted himself, patting his chest.

--

On the other side,

As her mind was almost blank, staring into the distance with vacant eyes, Yumo didn’t notice the small interaction between Sebastian and Yuan’er outside the living room door.

"Mengxi, huh..."

Recalling the silver-haired girl who always held her hand, liked to call her ’sister’, and acted coquettishly towards her, Yumo murmured weakly.

The core of the trial given by the Goddess was to nurture the Chosen One.

Yumo, who was lost in whether to follow the will of the Goddess and continue the trial, was also struggling with how to interact with Mengxi.

’How should I treat her?’

Yumo couldn’t make a decision.

No matter what,

Yumo knew that her power was in an unstable state that could explode at any moment, and Mengxi’s rich holy aura and the faintly present divine power could potentially ignite the Silent Shadow power within her.

At this stage, it was better for both of them to keep some distance from eachother.

...

However, how to interact with Mengxi was essentially Yumo’s confusion about the future.

The lost girl gazed into the distance, heavy-hearted, pondering her path forward.

Time,

Passed by, minute by minute,

With the arrival of late night, the entire academy fell into a deep sleep. Not only that, even the energetic Yuan’er, exhausted, returned to her room, holding the dragon-shaped little Meli.

Thinking that Lady Yumo, like usual, had entered ’statue mode’, Sebastian, overwhelmed by intense sleepiness after seeing Yumo motionless for hours, also succumbed to the lure of sleep and went to his room.

And after who knows how long,

With the arrival of the dawn’s first light, Yumo, who had been standing there like a statue from beginning to end, finally closed her eyes.

The next moment,

The corners of the girl’s mouth slightly turned up, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.

When she opened her eyes again, a hint of relief was evident in her crimson eyes.

’Sigh…’

’The final boss, huh,’

’Didn’t the Goddess want me to play this role well...’

’Then…’

’I might as well give it a try~...’
