Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 699 - 700: A Friendly Negotiation

Reality is often as dramatic as a game. Just as the dragon elders, having regrouped and believing they were on the brink of victory, were about to celebrate...

They were brutally confronted by the harsh reality.

Suddenly, four immense Demon appeared, each radiating the terrifying aura of the eighth level. The moment these gigantic creatures stood around the dragons, their crushing pressure swept through like a tidal wave, effortlessly shattering the dragons’ mighty presence.

At that instant, the dragons’ will to fight also shattered.

One or two Demon King level abyssal demons could perhaps be defeated with the advantage of terrain and numbers. But against five? It was an impossible situation.

In a moment,

The dragon group, once ready for a total assault, froze as if someone hit the pause button. The dragon’s fire breaths and spells they had gathered disintegrated into mere sparkles under the majestic aura of the abyssal demons, vanishing into the ether.

Gone were their fighting spirit and confidence,

Under the terrifying gaze of these monstrous demons, the dragons shivered in place. Fear emanating from the depths of their souls spread and gradually devoured their will. Some dragons, lacking in resolve, even fainted on the spot, overwhelmed by the abyssal demons’ aura.

"Damn it... why did I even say that..."

If time travel were possible, at this moment, Casimus would not hesitate to go back ten seconds to beat up his past self and silence his jinxing mouth...

Unfortunately,

There are no do-overs in reality. Facing five menacing abyssal demons, Casimus had no choice but to turn to Lidom, in his humanoid form with hammers ready for battle. Lidom was the strongest and most experienced among the dragon kings, having helped the dragon race through many crises.

In such a critical situation, with the dragons almost clueless, Casimus had to seek guidance from Lidom, hoping he could devise a strategy to break the deadlock.

"Brother Lidom... what, what should we do now?"

Casimus asked anxiously, while keeping an eye on the surrounding abyssal demons.

However,

His questions were met with silence. Lidom, right beside him, had fallen into a strange silence, not uttering a word.

"??!"

"Lidom, Brother Lidom?!" Casimus muttered anxiously, lifting his dragon tail to poke at Lidom’s back.

As the saying goes, ’you never know until you try’ - and the try was terrifying.

Because,

At the very moment his tail touched Lidom’s body, Lidom’s robust frame suddenly trembled.

Then,

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the hammers in Lidom’s hands fell to the ground.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of Casimus and the dragon elites, the old dragon king, their last hope, swayed for a moment and then collapsed backward, eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth.

This renowned Steel Dragon King lay convulsing on the ground.

"From... from a general... rational perspective... I, this old man, am having a heart attack!?"

"??"

"Eh?!"

’A heart attack?’

"Are you kidding me?! Are you joking with me?!!!" Casimus couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into hysterical panic. Not just him, the other dragon kings and elites nearby also changed their expressions drastically, gasping in shock, some feeling utterly defeated as they looked around at the five colossal demons.

Meanwhile,

From afar,

The words of the black-haired girl plunged the dragons deeper into the mire of despair.

"One isn’t enough for you? Five should suffice, right? ~ Doing nothing and just obediently surrendering isn’t something your proud dragon race would do, right? Since that’s the case, let these little cuties play with you first."

Saying this,

The black-haired girl casually pointed at Casimus and the other pro-war dragon elites and gave an attack order to the five gigantic abyssal demons.

"Big Dummy, Second Dummy, Third Dummy, Fourth Dummy, Little Dummy! Charge!"

Following their mistress’s command,

The terrifying aura of the Abyss emanated without restraint from the five monstrous demon. Roaring, they charged at the dragon elites with a pincer attack...

Seeing this formation, Casimus was petrified with fear, completely losing hope, and raised his claws in surrender:

"Wait, wait!!! We give up! We surr..."

Unfortunately,

The five behemoths, upon receiving their mistress’s order, had no intention of stopping. One of them smacked Casimus squarely on the face.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!!!!"

Instantly,

Within the Dragon Lair, scenes of brutal violence filled with mosaics unfolded, and the wails of dragons echoed one after another...

...

As the screams echoed, the dragon elites who came to support from outside the Dragon Queen’s Lair felt a chill down their spines, looking at each other in confusion. They knew that their clan leaders and the queen were in danger, but most of the dragons hesitated to rush into the Lair.

Endless fear started to spread wildly among the dragon race.

Under such circumstances,

Under the impact of the formidable aura, the ancient plaque hanging high at the entrance of the Lair, inscribed with ’Dragon Queen’s Lair’, finally gave way and fell to the ground... breaking into pieces in front of all the dragons.

---

After about thirty minutes of earth-shaking turmoil,

The inside of the Dragon Queen’s Lair finally returned to its previous calmness and peace.

However,

The Lair at this moment was slightly different from before.

The once splendid and majestic hall no longer existed, leaving only a chaotic ruin, filled with thick smoke and the smell of blood. The dragons, who were previously displaying their strength and might, now piled up in the middle of the hall, forming a ’mountain of dragons’.

At this moment, these dragons, though weak, were not dead but had either fainted from exhaustion, been knocked out, or fainted from fear... Even the high and mighty dragon kings lay fainted on the ’pile of corpses’, bleeding and twitching.

Who could have imagined that the once proud dragon elites would be beaten into such a sorry state?

For a while,

The Dragon’s Hall was enveloped in a bizarre silence.

Compared to the miserable main combat faction of the dragon race, the peace faction was not harassed by the foolish demons.

Physically unharmed, they were mentally shocked after witnessing the brutal scenes. They huddled together, trembling in a corner of the wall, anxiously watching the gigantic abyssal demons, fearing a sudden attack...

Under intense pressure, these peace-faction dragons involuntarily mobilized all their magical power, as if to protect themselves or possibly to launch a surprise attack while the demons were not paying attention to them?!

Even They considered the idea of ’catch the king first’ and focused on the black-haired girl.

However,

The next moment, their thoughts were easily perceived by her,

The black-haired girl, who was observing the ’dragon mountain’, suddenly stopped, turned her gaze to the peace-faction dragons, and frightened them with just a look.

Then Under the serious gaze of the dragons, the girl put her hands together in a pleading gesture, with an innocent look:

"Please, Don’t do anything stupid, okay?~"

Though it was a pleading tone,

The peace-faction dragons sensed the terrifying chill in her words.

At the same time, the huge abyssal demons also turned their ’gentle’ gazes towards the main combat faction. At that moment, the combat-faction dragons immediately abandoned any thoughts of resistance and frantically nodded in agreement:

"Understood! Understood! Understood! Understood! Understood..."

Their nodding was so fast that it created afterimages...

"Good~"

Seeing the dragons beneath her acting wisely, the black-haired girl smiled slightly and then slowly turned her attention to a blonde little girl not far away.

"So, Your Majesty, what is your decision?"
