Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 772 - 773: Breakthrough

As the guard troops near the Sky Prison quickly prepared for battle, Hakim felt a sense of doubt in his heart.

Of course,

This Supreme of the Holy Tower was not doubting how the Bloody Butterfly broke through the seal barrier and the black soul steel shackles.

After all, from the very beginning, Hakim did not trust the seal barrier created by the Sky City and the Church.

The Bloody Butterfly escaping from it was completely expected.

What truly made Hakim feel puzzled was the Bloody Butterfly’s behavior after breaking free.

After breaking free of her restraints, the Bloody Butterfly did not, as he had expected, immediately retreat to Anvika or launch a sneak attack on their allied forces.

Instead, after making a grand exit from the Sky Prison, she casually walked to the front of the prison gate.

Not only that,

The Bloody Butterfly even deliberately released some of her Shadow power, allowing them to sense her.

Seemingly?

As if deliberately telling them her location?

"Is she intentionally luring us here?"

Hakim couldn’t help but come to this conclusion.

’Could she really fight all of us alone? Was she planning to take us all down in one fell swoop?’

As this thought emerged, Hakim maintained his calm expression, but his heart began to feel uneasy.

However, even so? He had no other choice but to harden his heart and gather all his troops here.

After all,

If they gathered all their fighting power and still couldn’t defeat the Demon Temple, then splitting their forces would only lead to an even more desperate outcome.

At the same time,

Deep down, Hakim still didn’t believe that the other side could maintain such a powerful combat strength forever. If they truly had such terrifying power, how could they, as humans, have survived until now? They would have long become lost souls in the mouths of the Abyssal Demons...

With the purpose of probing, Hakim asked the black-haired girl the doubt in his heart,

"Do you really think? That you alone, can defeat our allied forces?"

However,

Faced with this question, the black-haired girl did not immediately answer, but tilted her head and pretended to be displeased, countering his question in the most unexpected way:

"Stop thinking about fighting and killing all the time, okay? Don’t be so impetuous~"

As she spoke,

The girl slowly revealed a sweet smile, and placed her hand on her chest, earnestly saying:

"Well, actually, when I was in the Sky Prison, I was hoping that you high-level leaders would come and talk to me? But unfortunately, no one dared to come. So, I had to come out myself? And then, I gathered you all here, mainly to talk to you. Or rather, to give you one last chance~"

"Chance?"

Upon hearing these two words, Hakim couldn’t help but be stunned,

"What do you mean?"

"A chance to negotiate~ If you give up the idea of using force, I can also control the Abyssal Demons and let them live in peace with you. That way, you won’t..."

However, before the girl could finish her words, Hakim’s cold snort interrupted her:

"Hmph, don’t be ridiculous. Do you take us for fools?!"

The furious roar, accompanied by a terrifying aura, suddenly exploded with Hakim as the center.

The violent wind pressure immediately struck the black-haired girl, forcibly interrupting her words.

"Hm?"

The girl didn’t seem to be upset about being interrupted. After all, the other party’s reaction was within her expectations. The girl pouted, looking somewhat pitifully at Hakim, her crimson eyes full of complaints about this Supreme Leader’s actions.

"Hey old man, do you really not know how to cherish and appreciate beauty? Facing such a cute girl like me, you can actually bear to be so cruel to me?"

"There’s nothing to bear or not to bear. I’ve seen through your kind’s trick of using beautiful appearances to deceive people."

Hakim coldly said,

His gaze showed no appreciation for Yumo’s appearance, only endless disgust.

"That monster, Nightmare, likes to transform into a charming girl and confuse and seduce victims in their dreams, then devour their souls, right? As the Demon Temple, don’t tell me you don’t know about this. So, this old trick is useless against me. Don’t think that your appearance can make me let down my guard."

Yumo: "0-0"

Hearing this, Yumo fell silent for a moment.

Her crimson eyes revealed a complex emotion, and if one looked closely, one could even detect a trace of shock and depression.

’Huh?’

’Could it be that she really didn’t know?’

Hakim furrowed his brow in doubt.

However, this question was not the main point, and Hakim’s attention was always attracted by Yumo’s every move, and he had no time to think about the internal problems of the Abyssal Demon family.

And Hakim’s furious roar seemed to have some effect. The black-haired girl retracted the smile on her face, and her whole demeanor underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

The atmosphere of ignorance and innocence that had just surrounded her instantly disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness. The malicious coldness that gushed out of her crimson eyes made Hakim’s back shiver, and when she was locked onto by those eyes again, this Supreme of the Holy Tower unconsciously retreated.

Yumo, who had retracted her girlish demeanor, narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a somewhat cold and unhappy tone,

"Look at your tone? You don’t want to talk, do you?"

"What do you think?"

"I don’t have any hostility? Peace, is it not good?"

"Peace? Hmph..."

Hakim snorted and said, slowly raising the staff in his hand, pointing at the black-haired girl’s face.

"Don’t be ridiculous. In the eyes of the Abyssal Demons, we humans are just a kind of food. Do you think little sheep can live in harmony with big gray wolves? In the past few hundred years, how many people have died under the claws and teeth of the Abyssal Demon hordes? The crimes you have committed are too numerous to count. Under such circumstances, how can we feel at ease and live in peace with you?"

"..."

"Moreover, what do you mean by peace? Do you mean to keep us humans as pets?"

As the words continued to come out of his mouth, the seriousness in Hakim’s eyes was gradually replaced by burning anger. This Supreme of the Holy Tower chose to reject Yumo’s words without hesitation.

"I didn’t expect that a thing that turned into a building could be so hypocritical? On the one hand, you talk about peace and say that you have no hostility, on the other hand, you secretly send people to infiltrate our human society. The Black Rose family, the Ghostly Flame Mercenaries, the Ainor Union, the Snow Night Empire, the Sadik Empire... These forces have been controlled by you Abyssal Demons. If we follow your idea of peace, all of humanity will probably be controlled by you Abyssal Demons. At that time, won’t we be no different from the sheep that are kept?"

In response to Hakim’s question,

The black-haired girl did not explain anything.

After hearing the other party’s words, which were full of deep hatred and loathing for herself and the Abyssal Demons, Yumo knew that there was no point in saying more.

After calmly accepting Hakim’s reprimand,

Yumo’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile that was completely different from before. A strange evil aura enveloped the girl.

"Under the protection of the master, the life of a sheep is not bad at all~. Try to experience it once, and you might like this kind of life."

"Hmph, I don’t want to experience that kind of life with no freedom and being slaughtered by the master at any time!!!!"

With the final roar, Hakim’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze instantly glanced at the red figure standing in the distance on the top of the capital’s high tower. Meanwhile, he himself leaped up and quickly increased the distance between himself and Yumo.

His movements were seamless and without hesitation.

Obviously,

From the very beginning, Hakim had no intention of negotiating with Yumo.

He, Was just buying time for his comrades.

"Dongy!!!!"

The next moment,

When Hakim’s shout was heard,

Three majestic and grand magic arrays with a radius of hundreds of meters appeared without warning from the ruins beneath Yumo’s feet! With the continuous gathering of magical power, an extremely high temperature that could destroy the heavens and the earth suddenly exploded from the center of the magic array!

*Boommmmmm!!!!*

Accompanied by the earth-shaking sound, the jet-black pillar of fire suddenly rose from the ground, immediately engulfing the black-haired girl and the bloody butterflies around her.
