Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 646 - 647: The Unexpected Visitor

"Sister! Are you alright?!"

As this heavenly voice rang out, Yumo, caught in the midst of an intense internal struggle, froze in shock. Her crimson eyes trembled slightly, filled with disbelief.

’Could it be...’

’That voice?!’

’Is it her?!’

Absorbed in suppressing her innate impulses, Yumo was oblivious to her surroundings. Thus, hearing this unexpected voice naturally brought a look of astonishment to her face.

Of course,

What shocked Yumo the most wasn’t the sudden appearance of this uninvited guest, but the identity of this person.

This voice, as beautiful as a gentle stream, touching the soul, brimming with tenderness and purity, was all too familiar to Yumo.

’Mengxi!?’

Gradually lowering her hands from her head, Yumo shakily lifted her gaze, revealing her weary, desolate eyes, and looked in the direction of the sound.

There,

A dazzling silver light broke through the forest’s darkness. Bathed in this radiant glow, a silver-haired girl dressed in the simple attire of an Asumos nun appeared like an angel descending from heaven, entering Yumo’s vision.

In the next instant, she flashed before Yumo with an extraordinary speed.

"Sister Yumo, what happened to you?!"

Feeling the familiar fragrance that hit her face, and with the girl’s concerned voice, Yumo finally realized that what she had seen and heard was not an illusion.

’Mengxi actually appeared in this deserted forest?!’

Barely managing to lift her head and meet the silver-haired girl’s gem-like, sparkling light purple eyes, Yumo spoke in disbelief:

"Mengxi, Wh... why are… you here?"

Struggling with immense mental anguish, Yumo’s voice was weak and shaky, faltering and unclear.

However,

Despite this, Mengxi instantly grasped the meaning behind Yumo’s words.

Gazing at the black-haired girl curled up before her, trembling, with somewhat dazed eyes, Mengxi smiled gently and carefully raised her hand to tenderly stroke Yumo’s face.

"It’s just a coincidence, I was practicing nearby..."

Mengxi slowly began to explain.

While explaining,

Mengxi’s gaze inadvertently drifted to the delicate earring above Yumo’s right earlobe, her light purple eyes revealing a hint of profound meaning.

And there,

Was the gift she had previously given to Yumo. Seeing that her sister was still wearing her gift, Mengxi’s unease gradually eased, and a sincere smile spread across her face.

’ So Sister didn’t avoid me because she hated me...’

Mengxi mused to herself.

However,

On the other side, Yumo couldn’t help but clench her teeth in response to Mengxi’s explanation.

’A coincidence?’

’In this vast forest, I just happened to land near this girl?! Really, a coincidence?! How could it be so coincidental?!’

’Is this girl trying to fool me?!’

Yumo was skeptical of Mengxi’s explanation.

Unfortunately,

At the moment, she seemed to have neither the energy to ponder this question nor the strength to question her.

As Mengxi approached, the holy aura emanating from the silver-haired girl also entered Yumo’s perception. The already unstable power within her body was further agitated by this holy aura, exacerbating the situation.

Desires for slaughter, destruction, and devouring everything, like a beast breaking free from its chains, seemed to rampage unrestrained in Yumo’s heart.

Seeing Mengxi after such a long time, Yumo indeed felt a surge of joy.

But this emotion was quickly overwhelmed by a torrent of anger.

"You... you... you stupid girl..."

Yumo weakly scolded, casting a reproachful gaze at Mengxi.

Guided by the ghostly Youlan, and forcibly unleashing her power, Yumo’s body had been in a highly unstable state recently.

During this time, to avoid losing control and causing irreversible tragedies, Yumo had mostly stayed behind closed doors, maintaining a certain distance from Mengxi and repeatedly having Sebastian reject her visits. Yumo was well aware that Mengxi embodied the purest holy aura and divine power.

These were the elements that most agitated her at the moment.

It should be noted,

Even though Yumo had recently been attacking many humans in secret, she had avoided launching attacks on Asumos Church, all to prevent losing control. And now, she had finally found a quiet place...

Even if she lost control briefly, it would probably just destroy the forest, sending some unlucky beasts to heaven.

But,

With Mengxi’s appearance? With the further stimulation of the holy aura and divine power, it wasn’t just a temporary loss of sanity she feared now! The entire Red Leaf Empire might have to suffer the consequences!

’Silly girl’

’Foolish girl’

’Stupid girl...’

’I’ve been keeping my distance from you! How many times did I have Seba hint to you not to come find me? Why did you still come?!’

’Why are you so disobedient?!’

’Besides’

’What are you doing here now? Adding to the chaos, aren’t you?!’

’Really…’

’You’re infuriating!’

...

Yumo raged inwardly, endlessly. Although she wanted to grab Mengxi by the ears and scold her properly, she was just too drained to do so. Under the stimulation of Mengxi’s holy aura, the violent emotions in Yumo’s heart soared.

Her beautiful crimson eyes, under the influence of negative emotions, gradually emitted a chilling coldness, even becoming ferocious with the appearance of bloodshot veins.

Clearly,

Yumo’s sanity was on the brink of collapse.

Her whole being was like a nuclear bomb ready to explode at any moment.

Seemingly about to detonate the next second, engulfing everything around her.

’If only I knew she was here…’

"I wouldn’t have come here..."

Yumo muttered in regret, struggling to press her head, twisting her body.

"Sister Yumo?"

Seeing the black-haired girl in such agony, Mengxi couldn’t help but show a pained expression, hurriedly reaching out to try to calm Yumo’s emotions.

However,

Just as Mengxi’s hand neared Yumo, Yumo’s eyes narrowed, and she suddenly swung her hand:

*Slap!*

With a crisp sound, Mengxi’s reaching hand was ruthlessly swatted away by Yumo.

Before Mengxi could comprehend the situation, Yumo’s hoarse and angry voice suddenly echoed in her ears:

"Don’t come near me!!! Get away, you idiot!!!!"

Uncharacteristically, Yumo let out a hysterical roar.

Along with the roar came a terrifying shadow power, erupting from Yumo as its epicenter! In an instant, the horrifying aura unleashed waves of fury, assaulting in all directions! Even Mengxi was blown back several meters by the impact of this energy burst.

But,

Even so,

Mengxi just slowly stood up, thoughtfully watching Yumo, showing no signs of retreating.

Yumo, catching this scene in the corner of her eye, trembled internally, almost crying in desperation,

’You…’

’Are you trying to kill yourself?!’

’Usually so smart, why have you become as dumb as a fool now?!’

"Don’t you understand the situation?! Run, you fool!!"

At this moment,

Yumo’s heart had sunk into an endless sea of despair.

Although she was still shouting for Mengxi to leave quickly, Yumo knew in her heart that Mengxi couldn’t escape this reality. Once she was overtaken by instinct, even the Girl of Destiny would not be spared.

The thought of the girl she had cared for so long, poured so much heart into, and usually couldn’t bear to scold, soon to be killed by her own hands, filled Yumo’s heart with pain.

But as Yumo raged internally, her consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

However,

Just as Yumo’s consciousness was about to be completely swallowed by the power of shadow, Mengxi moved.

But the silver-haired girl didn’t turn and leave as Yumo had hoped. Instead, she braced herself against the violent waves of shadow power and stubbornly rushed to Yumo’s side...

"Sister, don’t be afraid, I’m here, everything will be okay..."

Like soothing a child, Mengxi gently held Yumo’s face in her hands.
