Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 736 - 737: A Clean Cut

’Where did that arrogant aura go just now?’

’Just like that?!’

’You dare to stop me?!’

Heidely’s pent-up frustration was blown away when she saw the small loli kneeling on the ground, rubbing her eyes, and crying. An unbelievable thrill and pleasure flooded through his emotions, and he unintentionally lifted the corners of his mouth to display a hint of a mocking smirk.

With the emergence of the smile, Heidely’s bloody blade suddenly slashed towards the little loli’s neck.

Faced with such a crisis, Higanbana still remained indifferent, not making any defensive moves, just kneeling and crying non-stop, as if truly becoming an innocent and ignorant child. Seeing this, Heidely’s smile became even more ferocious. Although he hadn’t yet tasted the wine of victory, its fragrant aroma already intoxicated Heidely.

He had defeated Higanbana,

How would future generations evaluate him? The arrogant Asumos Church and the Holy Tower would probably have to respect him from now on, right? After all... he was a hero of all humanity.

Harboring beautiful fantasies and looking forward to the scene of the tragic separation,

Under Heidely’s excited and bloodthirsty gaze, the bloody blade, enveloped in dense black aura and carrying the momentum to cut everything, came even closer to the little loli’s neck. Heidely’s mind was already constructing the wonderful scene of Higanbana’s body being severed.

However, just as Heidely was about to savor the reality of victory, a black shadow suddenly burst into Heidely’s field of view, causing the pupils of this Sky City butler to instantly shrink.

’Eh?!’

’What?!’

Before Heidely could react, the palm of a black-haired girl rapidly enlarged in front of Heidely’s eyes! Accompanying it was a voice filled with anger and chill, sending shivers down his spine.

"What the hell are you doing to my daughter, you motherfucking freak?!!"

*Pia!!!*

Accompanied by a crisp and loud sound, Heidely’s face unsurprisingly collided with the girl’s palm.

What seemed like a fragile and powerless little hand, upon contact with Heidely’s old face, suddenly exploded with a terrifying force that shook the earth! In an instant, before Heidely could even mobilize his aura for defense, the armor constructed of dark mist on his face shattered on impact, and his entire face, under this assault, became a bloody unrecognizable mess.

The powerful and violent aura surrounding Heidely, constructed by the blood blade, was crushed by the wind pressure generated by this slap, as if tearing down decaying trees.

Under this terrifying slap,

Heidely’s entire body was in shock, and his bloodthirsty state was forcibly removed! He spat out blood while being violently thrown backward, crashing into and utterly destroying the perimeter barrier before he could barely stop. Afterwards, Heidely fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog...

"Cough, cough!!"

Spitting out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, Heidely, enduring the severe pain, shakily propped himself up on his hands and looked towards the position of the little loli.

Then,

Heidely’s heart seemed to stop suddenly, as he stared ahead, wide-eyed and speechless.

"How, how could this..."

An unexpected scene appeared before Heidely.

At this moment, A black-haired stunning beauty, akin to a fairy descending to earth, had already appeared at some point in the center of the thorny hell, right beside the little loli. The girl was dressed in a bright red dress, her black and red ombre hair and the hem of her dress fluttering in the wind, her bare feet stepping across the thorny ground step by step.

Although these thorns carry daunting poison spikes, the spikes that previously caused Heidely a lot of trouble could not penetrate the girl’s seemingly fragile skin.

The black-haired girl thus walked step by step to the front of the little loli, and carefully picked her up from the ground, holding her in her arms.

The girl gently patted the little loli’s back, continuously whispering something to her.

Since getting slapped, Heidely’s eardrums were shattered by the terrifying force and hadn’t regenerated yet, so naturally, he couldn’t hear what was being said.

But judging from the girl’s actions and lip movements, she seemed to be comforting Higanbana.

As if she was a mother consoling her bullied child?

As for the previously notorious and brutal abyssal demon Higanbana, who once pushed him to the brink, she was now quietly and obediently nestled in her arms.

After witnessing this scene, Heidely was overcome with a sense of foreboding feeling.

Black long hair,

A beauty that doesn’t pale in comparison to Mengxi,

The blood-colored butterflies fluttering around the girl...

And,

The attitude of taking care of the strongest abyssal demon king as a child...

There might only be one person in the world who fits these criteria, the target of their Holy War, the personification of the Demon Temple...

"Bloody Butterfly?! Why, why is she here?!"

’To avoid alerting her, we deliberately delayed our actions, Even set up barriers?!! Moreover, wasn’t the report just now saying she was still at the Luminous Royal Academy?! Why did she appear here so quickly?!’

’What were those monitoring Bloody Butterfly even doing?!!’

Heidely clenched his fists tightly, screaming hysterically in his heart.

Meanwhile,

He tried his best to regenerate while keeping a vigilant eye fixed on the black-haired girl.

The more he observed her, the worse Heidely felt.

After picking up Higanbana, Bloody Butterfly kept comforting and looking at the little loli in her arms. It might have been her imagination, but after being held by the black-haired girl, Higanbana seemed to cry even more heartbreakingly?! And... upon closer look, why were there all sorts of wounds on her body, on her calves and arms?!!

’She was unscathed just moments ago?!’

’My blade hadn’t even fallen yet!!’

Unfortunately,

Why Higanbana suddenly had so many wounds on her body was a question Heidely no longer had the strength to ponder. Because he realized a clear fact, as Higanbana continued to cry, the atmosphere around the black-haired girl started to rapidly change, turning Icey cold. A chilling coldness emanated from the girl, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Accompanied by this was an intangible pressure from the depths of the soul! Under this pressure, the aura inside Heidely and every cell in his body began to tremble uncontrollably, sending frantic warnings to its owner.

The previous thought of killing Higanbana to achieve fame and success dissipated, leaving only one thought in Heidely’s mind... (Run)

As the black-haired girl slowly turned her gaze away from the half-dead Heidely, he mustered his last bit of strength, leaped up suddenly, and swung his blood blade towards the black-haired girl.

In an instant, countless waves of blade energy rushed towards the black-haired girl like a tempest.

Being hit by this swarm of bloody blade’s energy would have likely shredded any ordinary strong person on the spot.

However,

The black-haired girl, the target of the attack, remained calm and indifferent. After glancing at Heidely’s grandiose attack, she refocused her gaze on Heidely. after launching an attack in an attempt to buy time, then fled towards the distance without looking back, driven by the instinct to survive!

Without a doubt, Heidely made a very wise decision.

Unfortunately,

Consumed by fear and unease, his escape route seemed somewhat straightforward.

He chose to retreat directly backward.

To this, the black-haired girl decided to give him a small lesson, to make him understand the importance of positioning.

So in the next moment,

The black-haired girl slowly raised her hand, and the bloody butterflies around her, responding to her call, continuously converged towards her palm. The butterflies disintegrated one by one, turning into dense crimson energy particles. These particles quickly coalesced in the palm of the black-haired girl into a long sword of crimson energy.

Coldly watching Heidely’s retreating figure, Yumo leisurely swung her hand.

...

...

At this moment, seeing that the black-haired girl did not pursue, the frantically fleeing Heidely even felt a trace of joy at having narrowly escaped disaster.

’She…’

’She didn’t chase me?’

’Did I successfully escaped?!’

Thinking this, Heidely suddenly felt an urge to laugh triumphantly. However, after escaping a certain distance, Heidely hurriedly took out a spatial magic stone from his ring, intending to report everything that happened here to Madam Lisa. Yet, just as Heidely was about to activate the magic stone with his power, a crimson light suddenly pierced through his body, shooting towards the distance...

’??!!’

’Eh?! What, what is that?!’

Looking at the rapidly disappearing red light from his view, Heidely involuntarily furrowed his brows. And when he looked down at the magic stone in his hand again, Heidely suddenly realized in horror that the stone had somehow split into two, as if it had been cleaved by some force. Not just the magic stone, but his fingers also began to drop to the ground one by one...

Heidely slowly came to a halt,

And almost at the moment his footsteps stopped, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Heidely realized what had happened; not only the communication magic stone and his fingers were cut in half, but also his body...

The next moment,

Heidely suddenly kneeled, and his body, along the midline, abruptly split apart...
