Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 759 - 760: Jailbreak

In the deepest part of the dungeon, that cell was specifically prepared for Bloody Butterfly.

Impenetrable,

Unless by the holder of the key or the maintainer of the barrier, no one could enter it, let alone escape from it. Over eight hundred years ago, two of the four great Demon Kings perished in despair within this Black Death Barrier. It was from this that the Black Death Sky Dungeon got its name.

However,

Now?

When Fietrel opened the door, the black-haired girl, who should have been restrained at the center of the barrier, unable to move, had mysteriously disappeared?! Leaving behind nothing but an empty barrier.

After a moment of stupefaction, Fietrel’s meal tray crashed to the floor.

"Where is she?! Where is Bloody Butterfly?!"

Although Fietrel had a premonition that this Black Death Cage couldn’t contain Bloody Butterfly, for her to leave without any trace? That was just too a very strong slap in the face.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Fietrel frantically rushed to the front of the barrier, unleashing his magical power, looking around for any clue. Unfortunately, after a period of observation, Fietrel still found nothing. Confused and furious, Fietrel directed his angry gaze towards a huge black figure cowering in the corner:

"Hellomos! What the hell is going on here?! Where is Bloody Butterfly?"

As Fietrel’s voice rang out, the one named Hellomos slowly extended three furry heads. It was a terrifying beast resembling a hellhound.

Indeed,

This black creature, chained within the hall, was the legendary companion beast of the Sky Dungeon, known for its ferocity and bloodlust. While it couldn’t leave the Dungeon, with the help of the dungeon’s malevolent and yin energies, Hellomos could unleash the strength of level 8 entities. This three-headed beast was one of the strongest lines of defense in the Black Death Sky Dungeon.

Unfortunately,

Such a powerful being lacked intelligence.

In his anxiety, Fietrel even forgot this detail for a moment. Coming back to his senses, Fietrel couldn’t help but hold his forehead, regretting his foolish action of questioning the guardian beast.

"But, wait?"

In the midst of his regret, Fietrel suddenly noticed something unusual about Hellomos.

This beast, which usually knew no fear, always baring its teeth and issuing earth-shaking roars at any lifeform that entered its sight, why was it now? Shivering and curling up in the corner? Even those mindless red eyes seemed to be flashing pitifully?

As if it were a little puppy that had just been bullied and trained?

"…"

’What could have scared Hellomos to this extent, to make this fierce beast understand what fear is?’

’The only one capable of doing this must be Bloody Butterfly. How did she do it?’

’No,’

’That’s no longer important. The crucial question now is, where has that demoness gone?’

’The priority is to find her whereabouts!’

’For goddess sake, aren’t there two level 8 elite watching outside the dungeon? How come there’s no news at all?!’

"Quickly activate the internal defense system! And immediately notify His Majesty!"

"Understood!!"

Following Fietrel’s command, the guards unanimously saluted and responded, quickly springing into action. Fietrel himself hurriedly pulled out a communication magic stone, ready to contact the troops stationed outside the Dungeon, to seal the area and search for Bloody Butterfly’s whereabouts. However, just as Fietrel was about to activate the magic stone, the hellhound in front of him suddenly made a pitiful ’whimpering’ sound.

’Huh?!’

Perplexed, Fietrel couldn’t help but direct his gaze forward,

Then he saw Hellomos burying all three heads under its tail, suddenly curling up into a fluffy large meatball. At that moment, this formidable and brutal guardian of the prison was visibly shaking in fear. Naturally, this scene left Fietrel puzzled.

But soon,

His confusion was resolved.

Because the next moment, a soft, pleasant voice, like the sound of goddess entered Fietrel’s ears,

—"Oh, isn’t this the Warden? What brings you to my quarters?"—

"?!!"

Although the voice was pleasant, it instantly made Fietrel’s hair stand on end, his whole body enveloped in an indescribable shiver.

This voice, he was all too familiar with.

It was the voice of the Black Rose Lady, the demon king - Bloody Butterfly.

"Bloody, Bloody Butterfly?!!"

Startled, Fietrel swiftly turned around and leaped several meters back, distancing himself from that stunningly beautiful black silhouette, and instinctively adopting a battle stance. The guards who hadn’t yet left the hall also drew their weapons, vigilantly aiming at Bloody Butterfly.

Instantly, The atmosphere became tense.

To this, Yumo simply smiled wryly, seemingly unconcerned with the hostility of the guards. Instead, she greeted everyone like an elegant noble lady.

"Good morning, everyone."

"…"

Seemingly noticing that Bloody Butterfly had no intention of attacking, Fietrel slowly eased the unease in his eyes, the feeling of being choked by the Grim Reaper seemed to have alleviated. Although the pressure had lessened significantly, his mind was filled with burgeoning questions.

She escaped, didn’t she? Why has she come back?!

’And, What is this delicious smell?’

’The scent of food?’

Following the aroma, Fietrel couldn’t help but direct his gaze towards the meal tray in the black-haired girl’s hands. On that simple tray, there were some exquisitely delicious foods and a cup of fragrant coffee. The scent of the food continuously tantalized Fietrel’s taste buds, making him swallow his saliva inappropriately.

After taking a deep breath, Fietrel trembled as he asked,

"Miss Bloody Butterfly, where did you go?"

"Hm?"

Seeing Fietrel pointing towards her meal tray, Yumo smiled sweetly and lifted the tray like she was presenting her achievements, showing Fietrel the array of exquisite food on it,

"Of course, I went to the kitchen to cook~"

Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Fietrel’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Breaking new ground, he summoned his bravery and he said with a tone tinged with censure.

"Excuse me, do you realize that you, you shouldn’t be leaving that barrier?"

"It can’t be helped."

"Can’t be helped??"

"Yes~"

The girl waved her hand innocently:

"It’s because the food prepared by your cafeteria is just too terrible."

Being spoiled by the Black Rose family, Yumo is extremely picky about food. The prison’s ’crudely made’ meals naturally couldn’t satisfy Yumo’s taste buds.

"..."

"I had no choice but to go and cook some myself."

The black-haired girl seemed very helpless.

However, as someone who is grateful, Yumo naturally wouldn’t take advantage of the Dungeon’s food without giving something in return. Since she had free time, she took it upon herself to improve the prison’s food.

"Don’t worry, I’ve also made some for you. There’s plenty stored in the kitchen; you can have it for lunch."

"Ah? What!?..."

Fietrel was flabbergasted.

’A demon king? Going to the kitchen to cook? What in the world is going on?!’

Meanwhile,

Seeing Fietrel’s twitching expression as a doubt about the food, Yumo very generously patted his shoulder and handed him a piece of meat pie from her tray.

"Relax, my cooking skills are quite good. I believe you’ll like it."

After saying this,

Ignoring Fietrel’s dumbfounded look, the black-haired girl simply carried her tray and walked towards the center barrier.

"..."

Looking down at the steaming hot, freshly baked meat pie in his hand, Fietrel was momentarily stunned. After a few seconds of silence, he, as if possessed, picked up the meat pie and took a bite.

He wasn’t worried about poison,

Because Fietrel was well aware that if she truly wanted to kill him, she could do so with a mere flick of her finger, without needing to go through such trouble.

As he bit down, the crispy crust crackled, and the savory juice instantly flooded Fietrel’s mouth, delivering an indescribably delicious shock to his taste buds...

The guards nearby, upon seeing Fietrel eat the meat pie, couldn’t help but show a horrified expression.

However,

The scene they imagined, where Fietrel would instantly turn into an abyssal demon upon eating, did not occur...

Under the incredulous gaze of the guards, Fietrel’s eyes sparkled as he uncontrollably muttered to himself,

"It’s, it’s actually pretty good..."

Guards: "?_?"
