Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 737 - 738 Infantilization?

Although the level 8 elites possessed extremely powerful vitality, being split in half from the middle still exceeded the regeneration limit of the vast majority of cultivators.

And obviously,

Heidely did not possess the monstrous self-healing ability like Xue Tianao. With the rapid passing of vitality and spiritual power, carrying an extreme unwillingness and despair, Heidely’s consciousness forever fell into boundless darkness. And the two halves of his remaining body, under the terrifying residual heat of the shadow force, were incinerated to ashes.

At this point, the generation of behemoths in Sky City inexplicably lost their lives.

After witnessing Heidely’s death, the black-haired girl slowly restrained the outward cold killing intent. The sword made of shadow energy in her hand also disintegrated, turning into countless crimson energy particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.

This black-haired girl who easily killed Heidely is undoubtedly our lovely and charming Yumo.

Although before the actions of Sky City, the possibility of Black Rose family seeking help from the outside world had long been blocked by multiple barriers, Yumo had set up a restriction on Sebastian and Xizhi beforehand. Once the vitality of the Black Rose family declined rapidly, Yumo could clearly perceive it.

Yumo also considered directly leaving behind the shadow power to defend herself, but considering that the shadow power is harmful to humans, she gave up this plan.

...

After the warning from the prohibition on Sebastian and others, Yumo, thousands of miles away, received the news for the first time.

After knocking out a dragon and an elf student helplessly, Yumo directly turned into countless bloody butterflies and rushed towards the area where Sebastian and others were.

Yumo was quite surprised at the attack on the Black Rose family.

She thought that the people of the Church or the empire will not disturb the situation at this critical moment, causing her to ’notice’ the holy war.

But the facts prove that Yumo’s judgment may not be as excellent as she imagined. Someone beyond her expectations launched an attack on the Black Rose family.

While feeling surprised, Yumo felt more uneasy.

Not only was she concerned about the safety of Sebastian and Xizhi and other Black Rose children, but she also cared about the safety of Youlan. In order to avoid the outbreak of the holy war, when Youlan, who turned into a little flower, would be affected by it, Yumo could show a disdainful look, falsely claiming to dislike the service of Sebastian and others, and ordered them to return to Sabelius.

Yumo’s meaning is to let Youlan and the others get out of the danger period. If anything happens to them during this escape, Yumo will surely regret it for the rest of her life. Therefore, when rushing towards where the Black Rose people were, Yumo’s heart was filled with intense worry, and her heart, beating rapidly with tension, almost burst out of her chest at one point.

At last,

When Yumo arrived at the scene, apart from the weak breaths of Sebastian and Xizhi and others, the others still had their breaths. Sensing this, Yumo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the big stone in her heart finally fell.

However,

The next moment, countless doubts surged into Yumo’s mind, leaving the black-haired girl looking bewildered.

"What’s going on?"

At that moment, Yumo realized that the children of the Black Rose family, such as Sebastian, had lost their combat effectiveness and were lying on the ground, unable to get up, while there were two intense conflicting force on the scene. One belonged to humans, which Yumo found unfamiliar. And the other, belonging to the abyssal demons, was something Yumo was all too familiar with?! It was her eldest daughter Youlan’s force?!!

’Youlan has recovered?!’

Realizing this in an instant, Yumo’s heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

After all, what mother wouldn’t be happy to see her child out of danger?

However,

When Yumo followed Youlan’s energy and locked onto that child, the girl’s eyes suddenly widened.

She found that her child Youlan, seemed to have shrunk a bit? And was kneeling on the ground crying?! Moreover, there was a fierce aura, obviously not a good guy, approaching him?!!

’How dare he…!’

’Someone dared to bully my child?!!’

Although she didn’t know why the powerful Youlan would be bullied by others, when she saw her daughter in danger, Yumo couldn’t care less about what to think. She immediately plummeted from high altitude! Protected Youlan in front of her, and slapped away the weirdo approaching her like a spider.

After that,

Yumo skillfully picked up the child who had turned into a toddler little loli, and kept patting her daughter’s back gently to soothe the crying child.

In fact, Yumo didn’t initially plan to kill Heidely directly. Her intention was to capture the opponent first and obtain information through interrogation.

After all, Yumo was also curious, which power dare to bully her child?!

However, as she noticed the fear in Youlan’s eyes and the scarred body, Yumo couldn’t contain her anger and murderous intent anymore.

’An ant?! Dare to treat my daughter like this?!’

In the end, Yumo, dominated by anger, killed Heidely with one move...

...

After confirming Heidely’s death, Yumo took several deep breaths before calming down her restless heart, and her heart gradually regained its composure.

Then, Yumo who had calmed down, belatedly realized a very serious problem!

"Wait a minute?! What’s wrong with her body?! "

Anxiously looking at the little girl in her arms, Yumo who realized afterwards, suddenly frowned.

’Youlan did wake up,’

’Huh? ’

’Why did my daughter turn into a little girl?! ’

At this moment, Yumo was completely puzzled.

The same shadow aura and life force made Yumo sure that the girl in her arms was her own eldest daughter.

’Huh’

Now Youlan is completely different from the cold and cruel impression she had before, but rather like a newborn baby waiting to be fed?

Now Youlan, how can’t she be associated with the notorious Higanbana.

Ignoring the fluctuations of the shadow power around the girl, now Youlan seems harmless like a little baby.

’This little girl is Youlan? ’

’Could it be? ’

To verify her own conjecture, Yumo redirected her attention to the little girl in her arms. As some of Heidely energy dissipated, now Youlan in Yumo’s arms seemed to feel safe enough and gradually stopped crying. It seems to have entered a state that can be communicated with.

Seeing that the timing was ripe, after taking a deep breath, Yumo tentatively spoke softly:

"You, Youlan?"

Facing Yumo’s soft call, the little girl who was sobbing in her arms slowly raised her head and met Yumo’s gaze with those innocent and confused eyes. Blinking, the little girl tilted her head, seeming unable to understand Yumo’s words.

"Uh-oh?"

"She doesn’t respond to her own name? Could she really have amnesia?"

’I heard before that if the soul is severely damaged, in serious cases, the injuries may cause memory loss, or even the mind may regress to infancy. According to Sebastian, isn’t it? Ameleth’s soul sequelae? ’

’Hmm’

’This reaction? This look? ’

’Doesn’t seem like pretending... It should really be a sequelae of severe injury... ’

’If not, how could the previous riffraff bully Youlan? This child is afraid that she would have slapped the other party to death long ago, where else would she be bullied by others? ’

After observing for a few seconds, Yumo affirmed her guess and sighed with a complicated mood.

"Ah... What’s all this about..."

While sighing, the black-haired girl’s heart felt a little warmth.

You know, over the past few hundred years, Youlan has always been full of hostility and vigilance towards her, and even when she confronted Luminous before, she even asked Yumo such irritable questions. Yumo really couldn’t imagine that such a child would be so close to her one day...

Looking at the little loli in her arms who had no guard against her and nestled comfortably, Yumo’s mouth gradually lifted, revealing a relieved smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Alright, alright, if she’s got amnesia... then she’s got amnesia... if she’s become a child, then she’s become a child... No big problems~ "

….

Noticing that Youlan’s little dress woven with flowers was already tattered, leaving her exposed, Yumo resolutely tore off her own skirt hem and wrapped the little girl in it.

At the same time, she also summoned tears of nature, carefully helping the little girl treat her wounds.

Under Yumo’s care, Youlan gradually stopped crying and excitedly interacted with Yumo.

...

After dealing with her wound, Yumo slowly sat with Youlan on a piece of wreckage from a carriage.

"Hey, you naughty girl, did you forget everything?"

Looking at the little girl in her arms, who looked confused and ignorant, Yumo couldn’t help but sigh.

"Soul injuries are really terrifying."

In fact, Yumo originally planned to educate Youlan properly after she recovered, this disobedient rebellious child of her, and also settle many accounts that were left hanging, including running away from home, injuring Pipi, kidnapping Yuan’er, and so on.

If necessary, Yumo would not hesitate to pull out the feather duster and give her eldest daughter a memorable lesson! Let her understand clearly what the consequences of disobedience are! For this, Yumo had long been prepared to be ruthless.

But now?

The revived Youlan not only didn’t remember anything, but her mind and body had regressed to that of a little girl...

Facing Youlan, who was as innocent and naive as a child, how could Yumo educate her?

How could she bear to spank her with a feather duster?
