Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 771 - 772: Confrontation

As the prison that has long been famous in the Red Empire, the Sky Prison has an environment surrounding it like a basin to prevent prisoners from escaping.

Even after leaving the prison, there are still high walls standing around it.

On these walls that are about fifty meters high, many prison guards usually stand, guarding inside and outside the Sky Prison.

However, at this moment, unlike usual,

Standing on the city walls are not prison guards, but the most elite burial squad of the Red Leaf Empire.

Not only are there troops from the Red Leaf Empire, but also the Holy Corps directly under Pope Kael, and the Warlock Corps of the Holy Tower...

The sky above is also filled with the Imperial Griffin Cavalry and the magical constructs of the Holy Tower.

Every person and object that appears near the Sky Prison has an extraordinary aura.

Without a doubt, they are all elites and strongmen of the human world.

After the highest level alarm sounded in the Sky Prison, they, who were already on high alert outside the prison, immediately took a battle stance.

Of course, Those guarding the Sky Prison are not just these ordinary soldiers. The top experts of the Red Leaf, the supreme leader of the Holy Tower, and the holy knights of the Church have all come to this place.

One after another, powerful forces spread out in all directions with these human elites as the center.

These strongmen, together with well-trained troops and those weapons emitting destructive auras, can be said to be majestic and awe-inspiring.

The air is filled with a murderous aura, and the surging magical power waves are even distorting the space around them.

Such a strong array can easily overthrow any empire.

However, even in the midst of such a powerful array, the warriors still have a solemn expression, their eyes are full of unease, and cold sweat even keeps flowing from their foreheads.

The reason why they are so uneasy is that they know what kind of existence they are about to face.

That, Is not an ordinary Demon King…

But the source of all Abyssal Demons,

The root cause of the world’s disasters...

The Demon Temple.

Although it is unknown why the Demon Temple, a building, would take human form, that thing is the origin of all Demon King existences, and its shadow power is definitely stronger than Demon Kings. Even their leaders admitted that the power of the Demon Temple is at least five times that of Higanbana. Upon knowing this truth, even these battle-hardened soldiers could not help but feel a crushing pressure as if the sky was falling.

Under such strong pressure,

Under the gaze of everyone holding their breath, a black figure slowly walked out of the Sky Prison.

And when they saw that figure clearly, these soldiers couldn’t help but be stunned.

It was a girl so beautiful that it took people’s breath away.

Her bloody eyes were like sparkling red gemstones, shining and alluring. Her black and red gradient long hair fluttered with the wind, and her face was as perfect as if the Creator himself had sculpted it.

Not only was her appearance so extraordinary, but this girl’s demeanor was also uncommon.

Facing countless spearheads and surging killing intent directed at her, the black-haired girl just smiled faintly. Then, under the tense gaze of many people, she slightly bent her knees, lifted her skirt, and performed a standard noble’s curtsy to the soldiers and the leaders of various forces.

Seemingly? She was expressing her condolences to the soldiers present?

Instead of taking action directly, she greeted them first…

This action made many of the soldiers present frown.

...

"She, she is the Demon Temple?? This young lady??"

"So, so beautiful? Is she really an Abyssal Demon? Abyssal Demons shouldn’t all be that ugly... Also, this action? Is this really a demon, or a lady from high society?"

"There is no killing intent, nor the brutality of an Abyssal Demon. Is she, really the Demon Temple?"

"Isn’t this young lady from the Black Rose family? Are we, mistaken somewhere?"

"This action, is very professional... The young ladies of our Marquis family are not as standard as her. Strange, is she really the Demon Temple?"

...

For a while, looking at this Demon girl who was beyond everyone’s expectations, the murderous intent in the soldiers’ eyes slightly dissipated, replaced by a hint of confusion and puzzlement. Obviously, the black-haired girl hadn’t done anything, but the hearts of many people in the allied army were already wavering.

And at this moment, a furious roar amplified by magic reached the ears of these soldiers:

"Don’t be fooled by her appearances!! That is just the enemy deliberately using a disguised appearance to deceive us, just like the Nightmare demon king in the Winter Forest! Think about the Shadow beam that suddenly fired just now! This demoness is not as harmless as you think!"

The person who said this was none other than the handsome man floating in mid-air, wearing black and gold magic battle armor.

This man with beautiful silver-gray short hair and extraordinary demeanor was Hakim, one of the Four Great Supreme of the Holy Tower, and also the commander-in-chief of this attack.

"Don’t take it lightly. Pay attention and feel it. There is no longer any sign of life in the Sky Prison..."

Hakim’s voice was cold, and with the powerful magic contained in his words, he exuded an air of authority that brooked no argument. As his voice reached their ears, the discussions among the troops suddenly ceased, and they acknowledged Hakim’s words.

At this moment,

The soldiers who were somewhat confused just now suddenly calmed down and looked at the black-haired girl not far away with firm gazes.

Seeing this, Hakim, who was at the front, finally shifted his attention from behind and focused on the black-haired girl.

Strictly speaking,

This was the first time that he, as a Supreme of the Holy Tower, had officially met the Demon Temple.

Even the long-lived Hakim couldn’t help but sigh in admiration of the other party’s appearance. If it weren’t for the fact that he had met the Girl of Destiny many times before, Hakim might have also been slightly fascinated. However, Hakim’s admiration was only fleeting, and his inner feelings were more of disgust than appreciation.

The Demon Temple?!

That place where Abyssal Demons are born, like the underworld, has turned into such a beautiful girl, surely to deceive her opponents. Her elegant actions must also be for this purpose.

As a Supreme Being of the Holy Tower, Hakim disdainfully sneered.

Although the human alliance army had already drawn their swords and nocked their arrows, Hakim did not directly order an attack. Instead, he let the Warlock Corps floating beside him retreat, and he slowly descended to the ground using his magic wings, walking step by step toward the Bloody Butterfly.

Facing the human Leader approaching her, the black-haired girl tilted her head.

Seemingly also puzzled by the other party’s bold action, she couldn’t help but curiously ask,

"That outfit, are you from the Holy Tower? You’re coming straight at me like this? You’re really bold~"

However,

The black-haired girl’s banter seemed to be directly ignored by Hakim. This Supreme Being of the Holy Tower looked straight into the black-haired girl’s eyes and directly asked,

"What do you want to do?"

"Me??"

The girl innocently asked back.

"Hmph..."

At this, Hakim coldly snorted, glancing indifferently at the girl’s body.

"Your clothes are clean and your hair is unharmed. It seems that the Heavenly Prison barrier created by the Sky City and the Church still can’t lock you up. You could probably come out at any time, right?"

"No way~, that barrier is very powerful. I had to use all my strength to escape."

"You don’t look like you’ve used any strength at all."

Hakim rudely denied Yumo’s words,

"That trash Kadispan is probably already dead, right? As expected, the Sky City’s people are unreliable. Since the Sky Prison can’t hold you at all, why did you still wanted to stay inside? Or rather... why did you want to be caught on purpose..."

"Well, I just felt like it?"

"It seems that you don’t want to tell me the answer. Then I’ll ask another question."

After taking a deep breath, Hakim seriously asked,

"You deliberately released your aura and attracted us all here. What do you want to do? Are you, so confident? To face all of us alone?"
