Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 781 - 782: Great Difficulty Approaches, Everyone Flies

’Enjoy the pleasure of heaven, Emperor Enzo~’

Looking at Emperor Enzo being surrounded and attacked by the Abyssal Demons, Yumo’s face overflowed with a strange smile.

"These cute little things, they are all transformed by ’you’, the Red Leaf Knights. When facing your former subordinates, you should learn to show mercy~"

After teasing a couple of sentences, Yumo retracted her smile.

A dark and solemn expression replaced it.

The girl slowly turned her head and glanced at the four Holy Envoys behind her who were bound by chains.

"Hey, have you had enough fun?"

As the girl’s voice fell, the four Holy Envoys suddenly felt an unprecedented chill, and goosebumps rapidly grew all over their bodies.

Just as the Holy Envoys felt something was wrong, the Abyssal Demons carrying vast killing intent surged from all directions, launching a frenzied attack towards the four Holy Envoys.

In an instant, over a thousand Shadow Annihilation beams rained down like a torrential storm on the four strong members of the church.

Although the Holy Envoys were powerful, it was a bit unrealistic to resist the Abyssal Demons’ attack head-on.

In this situation where they couldn’t even protect themselves, the Holy Envoys naturally didn’t have the ability to continue binding and suppressing Yumo.

*Bangg*

The Heavenly Chain Array shattered with a loud bang.

Yumo, freed from her restraints, leisurely stretched in mid-air.

Due to Emperor Enzo, the Pope, and the Holy Envoys being surrounded by the Abyssal Demons, the girl felt a rare moment of tranquility.

However,

’The battlefield was quiet above? Something seemed off…’

Yumo couldn’t help but cross her arms over her chest and furrow her brows.

After thinking carefully, Yumo felt a sense of relief.

’Well, This seemed normal, didn’t it?’

After all, she was a final boss. Who would have a final boss confront the enemy as soon as they appeared?

That would be too lackluster, wouldn’t it?

So, Let those cute little things accompany them for a while~

At the same time, the black-haired girl’s gaze involuntarily fell upon Anvika City below.

What appeared before the girl’s eyes was a scene akin to a human purgatory, filled with gunpowder smoke and rivers of blood. Human soldiers, one by one, transformed into terrifying Abyssal Demons under the invasion of the Shadow power, while the remaining humans retreated step by step under the Abyssal Demons’ siege.

Even the seventh-level strong warriors found it difficult to cope with the siege of thousands of Abyssal Demons.

As Yumo looked down, two level 7 beastmen were torn into pieces by the cocoons-covered Abyssal Demons, their former close comrades-in-arms.

Hearing their despairing screams before their death, and witnessing the cruel scene of blood splattering everywhere, Yumo didn’t feel uncomfortable.

On the contrary,

The girl’s heart gradually felt a sense of pleasure, and her pretty face revealed a blush.

"This feeling, it’s truly wonderful~"

’The sensation of crushing lives and destroying everything was truly...too addictive...’

Vaguely, a strange switch in Yumo’s body seemed to be gradually activated.

It seemed, Her decision to let Yuan’er and the others leave was correct.

After all, She didn’t want those children to see her cruel appearance.

However, The Holy War Alliance’s forces in Anvika City were on the verge of total annihilation, and the remaining warriors were facing the Abyssal Demons’ attack, unable to break free for the time being.

In other words,

No one would disturb me.

This is perfect,

I could deal with some important matters first.

"The Star of Aggregation? The Goddess Statue? Hahaha~..."

Let’s settle this first.

Unconsciously, a cruel smile appeared on the girl’s beautiful face, and she cast her cold gaze towards the distant place, the location of the main Church of Asumos...

….

...

On the other side,

Inside Asumos Cathedral, in the grand hall in front of the Goddess Statue.

As the frontline news kept pouring in, the expressions of several high-ranking church officials alternated between clear and cloudy skies...

Upon learning that Emperor Enzo had stabbed Bloody Butterfly in the chest with his sword, everyone’s expressions were bright and sunny.

But when they learned that Bloody Butterfly was unscathed, and had even turned hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers in the inner city into Abyssal Demons with a wave of her hand, their faces darkened as if they were experiencing a violent storm, looking terrifying. The harmonious atmosphere in the grand hall had long vanished, replaced by an unparalleled oppression that left the church officials struggling to breathe.

However,

Even after receiving such shocking news, these church officials had no other choice.

As they lacked combat abilities, the only thing they could do was to look towards the blond man below the statue, their church’s highest leader - Kael.

As they say,

In this moment of Abyssal Demons’ rampage, what sustained their hearts and prevented them from collapsing in despair was something called the ’Star of Aggregation,’ the church’s ultimate trump card, and the divine skill ’Soul Purification’ used in conjunction with it. Although in their understanding, the Star of Aggregation was a powerful move that only the Girl of Destiny could use... since Pope Kael claimed he could withstand it, these church officials had no choice but to believe and place their final hope in Kael.

If Kael could truly use the Goddess Statue to unleash the ’Star of Aggregation,’ then the Pope, who had gathered the strength of all the church’s believers, might indeed be able to defeat Bloody Butterfly.

After all,

As the ancients said,

The combined will of the people can build a city, and its power can shatter metal.

However,

The hope that had been ignited in everyone’s hearts gradually faded as time passed. This was because they realized that the one they had placed their hopes on, Kael, was only sitting in front of the Goddess Statue without any movement. Although it was said that he was connecting with the Goddess Statue, this still-unchanged state made people uneasy.

Gradually, a sense of anxiety spread among the people like wildfire. The church officials who had once been high above, calm and composed, now walked restlessly in the grand hall like ants on a hot pan.

Compared to the continuous crazy atmosphere outside, the grand hall was eerily quiet, making people’s hearts chill.

However,

This strange silence was finally broken at this moment.

"Enough!!"

As the voice rang out, the church officials in the grand hall suddenly trembled and turned their gaze to a nearby stone pillar. Leaning against the stone pillar was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and a curvaceous figure.

"Lady Lisa, please calm down. You will disturb Pope Kael."

A church elder tried to soothe Lady Lisa.

Unfortunately,

The powdered woman ignored his comfort and pushed the elderly man aside, walking straight towards Kael.

Feeling the surging killing intent of the Abyssal Demons approaching from outside, Lisa’s patience was almost exhausted. The alliance had been defeated, far beyond her expectations, and this made Lisa’s heart very anxious.

Her purpose for participating in the Holy War was to get a share of the spoils. But from the current situation, not only was dividing the spoils somewhat unrealistic, but she was even worried about her life.

Under such circumstances, how could Lisa remain calm?

She had been hoping that Kael would unleash some reliable trump card? But... this Pope was just sitting there motionless? What the hell was going on?!

Lisa’s mission was to protect Kael and ensure that he could activate the ’Star of Aggregation’ without any external interference. But now, Lisa no longer had the patience to wait.

Unlike other church members, she did not trust Kael completely. As the leader of Sky City, she had always been suspicious of everything related to the Asumos Church.

"Kael?! How much longer are you going to take?! Is this still okay?! If you keep dragging on, the Abyssal Demons will reach the cathedral!"

Ignoring the church elder’s attempts to stop her, Lisa stared at Kael’s face as he sat there with his eyes tightly closed and asked angrily.

However,

Kael did not respond at all, still silent and motionless, sitting there.

At this, Lisa’s brows twitched, and her black and gold eyes revealed disappointment and dissatisfaction.

"Since you want to sit here and wait for death, I’m not interested in joining you!"

As the saying goes, every man for himself when danger looms, Lisa had no intention of dying with these religious fanatics.

Since the situation had turned against them, it was time to retreat! After all, their Sky City could rely on the ’Thunder Particle Shield’ to stay safe and sound, and there was no need to confront the Abyssal Demons head-on. As for firing the Diving Cannon’? Lisa didn’t even want to think about it.

Apart from the fact that no one was restraining Bloody Butterfly, would the cannon even hit? Attacking now would only draw Bloody Butterfly’s wrath upon Sky City, wouldn’t it?

Thinking of this, Lisa walked towards the grand hall’s exit without hesitation...

However,

When Lisa reached the main entrance of the grand hall, this beautiful woman suddenly stopped in her tracks. It seemed as if she sensed something, and her brows furrowed tightly.

The next moment,

A mysterious crimson light suddenly gushed out from the gaps in the door.

The strange red light, like a sharp blade, rapidly cut through the grand hall’s door.

After a flash of red light, under Lisa’s astonished gaze, the grand hall’s door, engraved with two holy statues and exuding an aura of solemnity, suddenly shattered...

...

"Hoh~, is this the main cathedral? I think this is my first time here~"
