Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 733 - 734: Thorn Hell

Just as Asar felt despair and prepared to face death, she was astonished to find...

The expected pain did not come?

’I am still alive??’

At the same time, a clear, icy, comforting yet chilling voice quietly entered Asar’s ears.

—"If he dies, I will be very troubled."—

’This voice? Who?’

An unfamiliar voice she had never heard before, but at this moment, it strangely gave Asar a sense of reassurance. After all... although the voice was indifferent and ruthless, the person behind it clearly intended to stop Heidely.

For a moment, Asar’s heart, quieted by despair, once again ignited a glimmer of hope.

Tremblingly, Asar struggled to open her eyes.

The first thing that caught her sight was undoubtedly Heidely’s claws wrapped in black mist.

Although the deathly pressure could still be felt clearly, the claws were now frozen in mid-air, restrained by a vine from behind, unable to advance any further.

Swallowing her gulp, Asar followed the vine with her gaze towards Heidely’s rear.

The next moment,

Asar couldn’t help but lock her pupils in surprise.

"Who, who is she?"

At this point, in Asar’s view, behind the empty space behind Heidely, a magnificent silhouette suddenly appeared.

It was an extremely beautiful and seemingly delicate woman.

Petals flying from nowhere, continuously converging towards the woman’s delicate body, as if constructing a gorgeous red dress.

Her slightly curled golden hair fell like a waterfall over her shoulders. Her fair cheeks; her deep, abyss-like blue eyes; her slender eyebrows; her high, narrow nose; her tender lips;... The woman’s face and features were exquisitely beautiful.

She seemed like a fairy that had stepped out of a painting.

Although she was a fairy, the woman’s eyes were full of coldness and killing intent, a mere glance was enough to make one’s hair stand on end, chilling to the bone.

Gazing at such a woman, Asar was momentarily stunned.

Instinct told her that this woman was very dangerous.

But even so, in a matter of life and death, Asar could not care about the danger, and resolutely cast a plea for help towards the other.

—"Please! save me!!"—

On the other side,

Heidely was also stunned,

He had never expected his attack to be stopped.

Even more puzzling,

’Even though my sensory field was fully open?! How did this woman evade my perception and appear silently behind?!’

’And? Vines?!’

’Why could mere vines restrain me? And even resist the corrosion of my ’Soul Mist’?!’

"This person... who is she?"

The unexpected situation made Heidely pause for a few seconds.

However,

As the overseer of the Sky City, Heidely quickly pulled his consciousness back to reality.

After a moment of surprise, Heidely regained his senses and instantly displayed an unprecedentedly focused look.

Although the woman appeared very weak, giving the impression that she could be easily crushed, Heidely did not dare to relax at all. Because the moment he saw her, the butler of Sky City felt a heavy wight on his soul, causing his body to shiver uncontrollably.

This tyranny was even more powerful than the Inferno he had experienced during the defense of Sky City.

’This person’

’Might be even more dangerous than Inferno’

’What the hell?! Where did this person come from?!’

While shocked, Heidely was filled with confusion.

However,

He didn’t have the luxury of further thought, because almost the moment he noticed the honey-haired woman behind him, the spikes that grew on the vine pierced through Heidely’s protective aura, injecting an unknown liquid into his body. In an instant, agonizing pain struck, immediately contorting Heidely’s fairly handsome face due to the agony.

’Damn it?!’

’Poison?!!’

Realizing the spikes were laced with deadly poison, Heidely felt a sense of doom. Without further thought, he fiercely drew the sword from his waist and resolutely chopped off his own forearm that was entangled by the vine!

Heidely chose the most brutal way to break free.

However, it proved to be the right decision.

Because almost the moment he cut off his hand and leaped backward, his arm, wrapped by the vine, disintegrated into a puddle of blood under the erosion of the fierce poison. If Heidely hadn’t amputated his arm to escape, he might have turned into a nauseating puddle of bloody flesh by now.

Glancing at the blood on the ground and creating distance, Heidely felt a chill in his heart, his heart beating faster than ever before, almost bursting out of his chest.

’Damn’

’Such a terrifying attack... almost got me...’

Staring at the honey-haired woman fiddling with her body from a distance, Heidely held his breath and focused, guarding against her movements with utmost vigilance. At the same time, Heidely sent a signal through magical vibrations to the members of the snake unit nearby, preparing a magical array to cover his escape.

Though he disdained the ants on the ground, facing such a powerful opponent, he had no choice but to put away his contemptuous demeanor.

Regardless,

Confronting such a force recklessly was not a wise decision... even though she had already severed one of his arms...

Taking a deep breath, Heidely asked respectfully.

"We’re dealing with some private matters. I hope for the sake of Sky City, you won’t interfere, and we will surely thank you afterward."

Heidely’s plea was merely symbolic, as the killing intent shown by the opponent suggested malintent, unlikely to reconcile with him. His real intention was merely to buy time to regenerate his arm.

However,

To Heidely’s surprise, upon hearing his proposal, the honey-haired woman actually retracted her killing intent and showed a friendly smile.

’?!!!?’

’Huh? Did it really work?’

Heidely doubted himself, muttering in his mind.

’She can’t really be accepting the proposal? right?’

Just as Heidely was surprised by the unusual reaction, the ground within a radius of several kilometers centered on the honey-haired woman suddenly surged like boiling water, countless thorns sprouted from the ground, whirling towards Heidely in a demonic dance!

"Uh?! No, no good!! You, you’re…!!"

Sensing danger, Heidely decisively jumped up, rushing into the air.

Deserving of a seasoned level 8 elite, Heidely’s actions were incredibly fast.

Unfortunately,

Even so, he still paid the price of a leg.

However, Heidely, who lost a leg, was considered very lucky. Because the other members of the Sky City Snake Squad had been torn into pieces by this wave of Thorny Hell, completely turned into nourishment for the plant swarm. They didn’t even have a chance to scream before hastily reporting to the King of Hell, eager for reincarnation.

Of course, Heidely had no energy to mourn the death of his companions; he discovered a more terrifying and despairing fact.

The power that erupted with the Thorny Hell, confusing between heaven and earth, was not magic or battle aura, but... that detestable force of Abyssal Shadow.

’The woman?’

’Is actually a Demon king?!’

’Moreover, this power, which is clearly of a life attribute but carries the scent of death. To my knowledge, only one person possesses this kind of power.’

Staring intently at the silhouette not far away, Heidely’s heart momentarily stopped.

"Higanbana?!!"

’Ha’

’Ha ha’

’Ha ha ha’

’This is really, hitting the jackpot...’

In this instant, facing the thorny whips coming from all directions with a destructive momentum, Heidely couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath...
