Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 734 - 735: Burning the Boats

The trembling earth, the bloodthirsty thorns breaking through the ground, carrying a gloomy aura, the dark blue petals dancing in the sky, coupled with the desolate shadowy aura permeating between heaven and earth, instantly formed a hideous purgatory painting.

Ordinary people, faced with such a scene, would definitely be scared out of their wits.

However, looking at this purgatory-like scene, Asar, surrounded by the bloody thorns, did not feel fear.

It was not because she had become numb from previous jealousy and fear...

Surrounded by the rich force of shadows, her heart, inexplicably, felt at ease.

Because at this moment, Asar was very clear, these thorns, although violent and brutally tearing the people of Sky City into pieces, bore no malice towards her, even vigilantly surrounding her and protecting her.

To this, Asar did not resist, but looked up at the back of the abyssal demon woman with mixed feelings.

Since coming to this world, she had long forgotten how many people had tried to kill her.

Not to mention the bandits and the people of the Black Rose family. Even someone from Sky City, who called him "the heir" wanted to get rid of him?

This undoubtedly sank Asar’s heart to the bottom.

And yet, at this moment of despair, the one who saved her, was actually a demon king entity?

’Hah…This is really ironic’

Those supposed to accompany humans constantly tried to kill her, while an abyssal demon, her enemy, saved her at the crucial moment?

’Who is she?’

’What does she want? Why saving me??’

For a time, Asar was engulfed in doubts, staring blankly at the back of the honey-haired woman.

And seemingly feeling Asar’s puzzled gaze, Youlan slowly turned her head, glancing at the cute blue-haired girl behind her.

However, Youlan did not answer Asar’s doubts, only lightly instructing,

"Stay hidden and don’t move. Otherwise, you’ll die."

"Yes, understood,"

Asar trembled and lowered her head, hiding within the thorn protective circle.

At this moment, she suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that the battle was not over.

The low level of Sky City were indeed devoured by the Thorny Hell, but Heidely, their leader, was still alive.

Taking a deep breath, Asar slowly raised her head, looking towards the battlefield in the sky.

As the son of destiny, she should support humans, but now...

She eagerly wanted to see Heidely torn to pieces.

She was incredibly furious.

Just like that, under Asar’s cold gaze, the thick thorns, like swatting flies, rushed towards Heidely with great momentum.

...

...

Boom!!

Accompanied by the earth-shattering explosions and the wild release of the shadow force, clusters of dark energy formed by the rich power of death bloomed in the high sky, coordinating with the bloodthirsty and brutal bloody thorns, Launching a hysterical attack on Heidely.

Black aura constantly clashed violently with the dark blue shadow force, creating a terminal death light in the sky.

Although the confrontation between Heidely and the bloody thorns continued, Heidely’s physical condition was greatly deteriorated.

His majestic black golden armor had been destroyed early under the impact of the annihilating beam, and the skin it protected was bloody and blurred. Not only that, Heidely’s once handsome face had become unrecognizable at this moment, half of his face turned into bloody bones, appearing extremely hideous and terrifying.

Now, Heidely had none of the dignified and handsome appearance of the Sky City butler, looking more like a detestable ghost crawling out of hell.

Dragging his body full of wounds, Heidely continued to tremble violently in the air against Youlan’s bloody thorns.

To anyone, Heidely was undoubtedly in a very disadvantageous state, his injuries worsening, and his energy gradually depleting. In contrast, the Thorny Hell remained as powerful as ever, and its controller, Higanbana, stood on the ground from beginning to end, calm and composed, still having plenty of leeways.

Heidely being torn apart by the thorns seemed to be just a matter of time.

And yet, as the cornered prey surrounded by enemies, Heidely didn’t seem to think so. After enduring the initial baptism of despair, Heidely saw a glimmer of hope from within despair. His still intact corners of the mouth gradually turned upwards, revealing a sinister smile that sent shivers down the spine.

"Ha, haha..."

Under normal circumstances, with his mid-stage level 8 strength, without any assistance, taking on the strongest demon king Higanbana alone... the chances of winning were not too high...

Heidely had also prepared himself for death.

However,

After a bout of fighting, Heidely found that Higanbana might not be as strong and invincible as he had imagined. No, to be precise, the current Higanbana did not possess the kind of outrageous combat power he had expected.

At this moment,

As Heidely was blasted into the air, a man-eating flower tens of meters tall suddenly opened its gaping maw! A dark energy beam containing a destructive aura abruptly cut through the air, with a torrential momentum, heading straight for Heidely! Facing such a terrifying attack, Heidely did not choose to dodge but mustered the courage to swing the black sword in his hand, fiercely slashing at the laser beam!

The next instant,

Accompanied by Heidely’s hysterical roar, a black light violently collided with the dark beam, causing a earth-shattering explosion! Space itself slightly distorted.

Although Heidely did not defeat the attack, he managed to change the trajectory of this world-ending annihilating beam! It headed towards the sky, subsequently bursting into a dazzling apocalyptic light.

After witnessing this scene, the despair in Heidely’s heart was completely erased, replaced by soaring hope and excitement.

"Ha, haha, I was right!"

’The current Higanbana is not in her peak state!’

’Otherwise, The annihilating beam of a peak level 8 demon king, it would be impossible for me to change its trajectory!’

Furthermore,

If it were Higanbana in her prime, he couldn’t have lasted this long!! You know, when facing Inferno before, he was easily pinned to the ground and rubbed against it. Over the years, Heidely knew his strength hadn’t improved much, so how could he suddenly stand against the strongest demon king abyssal demon Higanbana?

The only logical explanation is!

’Higanbana is injured!’

’Thinking about it, it makes sense. When Higanbana was repelled by Kael, it was just over a month ago’

’Those guys from the Church, along with the home field advantage, should not be underestimated. Higanbana was probably severely injured by Kael in that battle, forcing her to retreat from Anvika.’

And now? Only so much time has passed, presumably Higanbana’s injuries have not fully recovered!

Which means,

’I have a chance to win!!’

Realizing this, Heidely revealed a cruel smile. He quickly locked his gaze on the honey-haired woman in the distance.

Aside from a despicable and shameless sneak attack at the beginning of the battle! Higanbana has not come close to him, but has opted for long-range combat, probably knowing that close combat would be disadvantageous for her. Plus, Higanbana’s pale face, looking as if a gentle breeze could knock her over… Heidely quickly figured out the key to victory.

’I need to get close to her!’

’There’s a chance!’

Seeing the light of victory in his eyes, Heidely no longer reserved his strength to try and escape, but instead released all his aura in an instant. The next moment, under the cover of black mist, Heidely’s muscles rapidly expanded, his strength climbed step by step, breaking away from his previous tall and thin form, becoming robust and imposing. Not only that, under Heidely’s command, the black mist continued to gather behind him, forming two pairs of thick energy arms wielding black swords.

The remaining black mist then condensed into armor, enveloping Heidely within.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"

After a beast-like, earth-shattering roar, Heidely transformed into a Shura demon with six arms, his rapidly expanding momentum even breaking through the dense barrier of the shadow force.

This is Heidely’s trump card,

Blood Frenzy.

It is a technique that uses all energy and soul power to enhance physical abilities. Although it can’t be maintained for more than a few minutes, during these minutes, Heidely’s physical attributes will soar qualitatively! Surpassing the high stage of level 8, and even approaching peak stage!

"Victory or defeat, it all comes down to this!"

The next instant,

Seizing the gap in Youlan’s attack, Heidely launched his final charge. Wielding six swords that could split heaven and earth, he transformed into a black meteor, breaking through the bloody thorn net, charging towards Youlan with unstoppable momentum!

...

Seeing this scene, Asar couldn’t help but clench her fists, anxiously looking towards the honey-haired woman not far away.

Although she didn’t quite understand the situation, she could still tell that the honey haired woman was in extreme danger.

"Be, be careful!!"

Involuntarily, the blue-haired girl shouted out.

However,

Compared to Asar’s shout, and Heidely charging towards her, Youlan seemed to have something more worthy of her attention. Her gaze did not linger on the incoming Heidely, but thoughtfully glanced towards the distance, towards the direction of the Red Leaf Imperial Capital, Anvika.

"Hmm, it’s almost time... In that case..."

After murmuring to herself, Youlan’s body gradually emitted a serene blue light...

And with the ripple of the shadow energy, the body of the honey-haired woman began to shrink in a manner that defied natural laws...
