Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 643 - 644: Sorry

"Although You are lacking in combat experience, you’re physical strength is truly scary, worthy of a demon king, aren’t you?"

Saying this, Nolan showed a look of disgust and anger.

Abyssal demons rely on their extraordinary physical strength and the terrifying power of the ’Shadow’ to make them so troublesome. Without these, why would humans worry about not being able to eradicate the abyssal demons completely? Without these, why would each expedition cause so many casualties?

With a cold snort,

Nolan’s magic ring quietly emitted a pale green light, and a sharp magic sword, formed by the concentration of wind attribute magic power, was suddenly grasped in his hand. The next moment, Nolan pressed the sword tip against the pink-haired girl’s chin, lifting her head.

Even after the abyssal demon king was defeated, there was still no reaction from the Luminous Royal Academy.

This almost confirmed Nolan’s original judgment.

The ’Blood Butterfly’, feared by the Church, was actually just a ’Queen Bee’ manipulating things from behind the scenes, a real paper tiger.

’There is nothing to fear.’

Having reached this conclusion, Nolan’s actions became even more unrestrained and fearless.

"What else do you have to say at this point?"

However,

Before he could finish speaking, upon seeing the girl’s face clearly, Nolan frowned deeply:

"You, what the f@ck are you doing!?…"

The little demon girl, who had just hysterically attacked him, was now looking at him with tearful, pitiful eyes. Her eyes gradually moistened, and tears fell down her cheeks like pearls off a string,

Soon crying pitifully, involuntarily arousing sympathy.

"I, I was wrong, don’t... don’t hurt me... I, I’m afraid of pain Ahhhhh…"

The young girl showed such a pleading look.

Seeing the girl so wronged, Nolan was initially stunned.

’She…’

’She’s begging for mercy?!’

’An Abyssal Demon King? Begging for mercy?!’

Facing the situation before him, Nolan felt a wave of disbelief, but quickly regained his composure, feeling both angry and amused. After a moment of covering his face and cold laughter, Nolan’s eyes burst with indescribable anger and disdain:

"Are you, are you mocking me?!"

"No, no, I... I’m just scared…"

"Enough!!!"

Watching the tears continue to fall from the corners of the girl’s eyes, Nolan suddenly roared:

"Stop pretending! Do you think by disguising yourself as a child, I will treat you like one?! You’re nothing but a group of monsters in human skin! Monsters pretending to be children, begging for mercy in such a cutesy way, it’s disgusting!"

Regarding the pink-haired girl’s pitiful crying and pleading, Nolan showed not a trace of mercy. In his eyes, the girl in front of him was always a terrifying monster with bared fangs and claws.

"Moreover, do you think begging for mercy will do you any good?! When my senior brother and my disciples begged for mercy, did the abyssal demons spare them?! Weren’t they still torn to shreds?! There were plenty of humans who begged for mercy, weren’t they all devoured by you monsters in the end?! Begging for mercy, my ass! If you cry again, I’ll cut off your tongue with my sword! Do you hear me clearly?!"

With his roar, a furious wind pressure blasted towards the pink-haired girl.

"…"

Intimidated by Nolan’s shout, the frightened pink-haired girl forcibly stopped her tears, but still couldn’t help sobbing continuously.

In her heterochromatic red and blue eyes, there was only grievance and fear.

"Hmph…"

Seeing this, Nolan snorted coldly.

Although his mind was almost occupied by hatred, as he stared at the girl looking like a bereaved dog, a sense of indescribable joy and excitement, as well as a heavenly sense of achievement, began to grow in his heart.

It should be known,

Over the past few years, human forces have almost always ended in defeat when facing the abyssal demons. Countless human top warriors died under the claws of abyssal demons. On the contrary, the top-tier demon king-level abyssal demons have never been eradicated by humans, at most just repelled.

Defeating and killing a demon king is the dream of countless human warriors.

In that case, not only would he gain supreme honor, but the confidence of human forces would also be unprecedentedly boosted.

Furthermore,

With this little demon king in such a weakened state, Nolan had no reason to let this monster go. He couldn’t allow this walking disaster to continue threatening humanity.

To avoid prolonging the night and more dreams, Nolan made his final decision. He tightened his grip on the energy sword in his hand and said faintly,

"It’s over."

His words were plain, but they were filled with a killing intent that made one shiver.

Hearing this, the little girl seemed to sense the killing intent bursting from Nolan’s eyes. The tears that had just stopped started to flood out again! In her heterochromatic red and blue eyes, there was an unprecedented fear.

Facing the long sword raised by Nolan, the girl cried and shook her head frantically.

Tears splashed everywhere.

However,

Having made his decision, Nolan wouldn’t stop because of the girl’s crying. There was not a trace of mercy in his eyes, only cold killing intent and a desire for revenge.

"Go to hell and atone for your sins."

As Nolan made his final declaration, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and the emerald-colored magical power violently liberated, attaching itself to the blade! The dazzlingly bright sword, amidst the girl’s crying, swung towards her neck.

The defensive black liquid had already been destroyed by him, and the girl was in an extremely weakened state. This sword, infused with his surging magical power, should have swiftly and mercilessly decapitated the girl, like cutting through wood.

This was the scene Nolan had envisioned in his mind.

However,

The next second, when the sword struck the girl’s neck, she indeed stopped crying. But the scene Nolan had imagined, with blood splattering everywhere, did not occur.

To his disbelief, after his strike, powerful enough to split mountains, hit the girl’s neck, it could not advance any further, getting stuck there. No matter how much he exerted himself, he couldn’t move it an inch.

’Why?!’

’Why can’t it cut through her?!’

Just as Nolan was bewildered by the scene before him, the girl’s faint voice drifted into his ears, causing the holy Tower Mage to shiver.

"I’ve cried so much... can’t you have a bit of sympathy?"

Looking into the girl’s heterochromatic red and blue eyes, Nolan suddenly felt an eerie chill.

At this moment, the girl had already stopped crying unknowingly, her gaze becoming cold and emotionless, staring coldly at Nolan. The girl, who had just been terrified under the threat of death, had suddenly become so calm.

"What’s going on?!"

For a moment,

Nolan’s emotions underwent a drastic change. His excitement and exhilaration from a second ago were suddenly replaced by an indescribable astonishment, leaving him dumbstruck.

Faced with Nolan, who had become stupefied, the pink-haired girl was silent for a moment before shaking her head with some resignation and self-mockery:

"Ah, I seem to have asked a stupid question. You hate abyssal demons so much, how could you possibly have sympathy for me."

This self-mocking statement from the girl snapped Nolan back to reality. Realizing something was amiss, under a surge of clarity, Nolan took a deep breath and hastily retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the pink-haired girl.

"What’s going on with you?!"

Nolan asked with an uneasy tone.

However,

In response to Nolan’s question, the pink-haired girl didn’t immediately answer, but kept shaking her head, mumbling some obscure words, seemingly entangled in thought.

But when the girl looked up again, meeting Nolan’s gaze,

Nolan unexpectedly found that in the abyssal demon girl’s eyes, there was a hint of apology.

The pink-haired girl closed her eyes and sighed deeply:

"I understand why you hate abyssal demons. I can’t make excuses for the death of your senior brother and disciples at the hands of abyssal demons. All I can say is, I’m sorry."

"Sorry? What the hell are you talking about?!"

Seeing a demon king apologizing to him, Nolan trembled, unable to accept this surreal turn of events and kept shaking his head.

’Bloodthirsty and violent monsters, apologizing to me?!’

’What’s going on?!’

The rollercoaster of emotions and the completely unexpected situation momentarily caused Nolan’s brain to short-circuit. The discovery of a hidden movement, an unharmed demon king, the sudden change in the little girl’s personality, and the inexplicable apology, all plunged him into confusion, as if he was in a dream, where everything around him suddenly seemed so unreal.

Ethereal and ambiguous, both real and unreal.

Facing the bewildered Nolan, the pink-haired girl had no intention of explaining, but continued to speak on her own:

"Also, there’s one more thing, I need to apologize to you again, warrior from Holy Tower."

"What? Why apologize?"

Nolan asked, somewhat shakily.

In response, the girl offered a complex smile.

The next moment,

Under Nolan’s bewildered gaze, accompanied by a surge of crimson light, the pink-haired girl bound to the cross disintegrated, turning into a sky full of blood-colored butterflies.

"You are a brave human warrior, but unfortunately, you could pose a threat to my children’s safety. So... please join your senior brother and your disciples…"
