Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 782 - 783: Choked

As Lisa pondered how to lead her people to safely escape the battlefield, she failed to notice the unusual situation in front of her.

By the time she sensed something amiss, the grand hall’s magnificent doors had already been sliced into countless pieces by a crimson light as sharp as a blade!

Boom!

With a loud rumble and clouds of dust, the grand hall’s entrance was no more.

The sunlight from outside, tainted with the thick smell of gunpowder and blood, streamed into the relatively dim grand hall, illuminating Lisa’s face. The bright light brought her consciousness back to reality.

’?!’

"What happened?!"

Feeling the waves of Shadow power coming towards her and hearing the roars of the Abyssal Demons nearby, Lisa furrowed her brows and looked serious.

The powerful magical energy sealed within her body began to surge and gather in her palms, preparing for a possible confrontation at any moment.

’Had the Abyssal Demons already reached here?! So fast!’

’What a bunch of useless trash, those Millennial Guardians and the holy tower... They couldn’t even buy time! They’re just empty names! A bunch of... garbage... Huh?!’

However,

As Lisa was inwardly cursing her former ’comrades’, her anger abruptly ceased due to the scene before her. This was because, as the dust settled, the figure that appeared in front of Lisa was not the detestable Abyssal Demons she had expected, but a stunning black-haired girl.

Her elegant attire was enchanting; her white, smooth skin drove people crazy; her slender and delicate figure stirred people’s imaginations...

Especially those eyes, sparkling like red gemstones, seemed to possess an enchanting power. With just a glance, they deeply captivated Lisa’s soul.

The girl was naturally charming, possessing a bewitching beauty.

Now, walking barefoot on the crimson bloody ground, dressed in a bizarre red ceremonial gown that revealed her snow-white shoulders, she resembled a bewitching demon that captivated people’s hearts and minds.

Undoubtedly,

The black-haired girl before her had a beauty that could bring nations to their knees. Even Lisa, who loved beauty, couldn’t help but feel inferior and ashamed in her presence. The only person who had ever made Lisa feel such a sense of defeat was Mengxi, the Girl of Destiny.

Unlike Mengxi, who exuded an aura of pure holiness, the black-haired girl before her was a completely different type of beauty.

Enchanting, alluring, and filled with dark energy... she was a dangerous, hidden beauty shrouded in darkness.

However,

The girl’s presence stirred up an irrational sense of jealousy within Lisa, even though this emotion seemed rather inappropriate at the moment. But still, she couldn’t help but feel it.

In the past, Lisa, who was jealous, would have either claimed the beautiful existence for herself or destroyed it outright.

But now?

Lisa did nothing and just froze on the spot. After a moment of jealousy, the leader of Sky City felt a chilling cold run through her body.

Although she despised those more beautiful than herself, Lisa’s mind was still clear.

The stunning black-haired girl, the dancing crimson butterflies, and the dozens of monstrous creatures with fangs and claws behind the girl... All these clues told Lisa an ominous fact.

The girl before her was the mastermind behind the Anvika disaster.

"Bloody Butterfly?!"

Upon realizing the identity of the person before her, Lisa was shocked, and her beautiful face turned pale.

Although Lisa had always mocked Emperor Enzo in her heart, she was well aware of the gap between their powers.

An enemy that neither Emperor Enzo nor several experts at level 8 couldn defeat together, how could she possibly stand a chance?!

’F@ck’

’Bloody Butterfly had already reached here?!’

When the black-haired girl’s eyes, as cold as ice locked onto her, Lisa felt a sense of danger. She instantly unleashed her magical power and retreated rapidly under the push of her pale pink magic, attempting to distance herself from the black-haired girl.

She did not want to become Bloody Butterfly’s target!

’I must find a way to divert this monster’s attention to Kael and the others from the church!’

’Only then could I escape unscathed’

However,

It seemed that Lisa’s plan was a bit too idealistic.

Facing the first level 8 after breaking through the church’s door, how could Yumo ignore her?

In the instant that Lisa leaped backward...

A flash of red light bypassed Lisa’s perception, and Yumo, like a ghostly enchantress, appeared in front of Lisa in the blink of an eye.

’?!’

"Not good!"

Feeling a sense of danger, Lisa hurriedly mobilized her magic to resist. Unfortunately, she was a bit too slow.

Before Lisa could react, the black-haired girl suddenly struck, directly grabbing her by the throat!

As the crimson Shadow power surged, the magic that Lisa had just activated crumbled under the impact of the Shadow power and was completely swallowed by it. Due to the violent shock, the incantation Lisa was rapidly chanting was also forcefully interrupted.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

With her throat suddenly seized, Lisa coughed violently and instinctively grabbed the girl’s wrist, trying to break free from her grasp.

However,

The next moment, Lisa discovered in horror that although the girl’s arm was slender and soft, the power it contained far exceeded her expectations. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t budge it at all.

The girl’s slender fingers, like green onions, now gripped Lisa’s life like the claws of the Grim Reaper.

"Madam!!!"

Seeing this situation, the servants and guards around Lisa drew the weapons at their waists and tried to step forward to rescue her.

However,

Before they could even approach the black-haired girl, they were bitten on the neck by the Abyssal Demons that rushed out from behind and dragged away...

The scene was not very lively, and the chorus of screams provided a tragic background music.

"Ah~"

Looking at the magnificently dressed, struggling powdered woman, Yumo pretended to be displeased and asked, "Upon seeing my face, did you just run away? This is too rude, isn’t it? Your Sky City’s etiquette standards seem to be inadequate."

"Huh?!"

Bloody Butterfly’s words made Lisa’s eyes shrink, revealing a trace of confusion. Although she didn’t know why Bloody Butterfly hadn’t killed her, the fact that she spoke directly meant they could negotiate?

Considering direct resistance might provoke her and lead to immediate death, Lisa seemed to have no choice but to save her life through communication.

"Do you... do you know who I am?"

"Of course I do~"

Yumo revealed a friendly smile that could touch people’s hearts like an angel.

However,

When considering the mysterious crimson butterflies fluttering around the girl and the hateful monsters behind her that kept devouring humans alive, this scene became extremely oppressive and eerie, making people shiver.

"Your subordinate, the one named Kadi something, mentioned you quite a lot during our time in the Sky Prison~"

As these words entered her ears, Lisa shivered all over, and a drop of cold sweat slowly fell from her forehead.

’Could it be...’

’That bastard Kadispan did something outrageous in the Sky Prison? And he angered Bloody Butterfly?!’

’Leading her to seek revenge?’

Even though she was being suppressed to the point of barely breathing, Lisa still forced out a flattering smile:

"That bastard Kadispan... he’s just a big oaf. If he offended you in any way, please let me apologize. You... you know, we... we from Sky City have no intention of being enemies with you. We came to Anvika because we were forced to... The previous attack on the Black Rose family was also because we were forced into a corner. We... we really don’t want to be enemies with you."

"Is that so~?"

Listening to Lisa’s words, Yumo tilted her head in amusement.

"Then, how can I be sure that you truly have no intention of being enemies with us? After all, when you were attacking me just now, your Sky City people didn’t hesitate to participate~"

"This... this..."

Faced with this question, Lisa was at a loss for words for a moment.

And feeling the icy coldness and killing intent gradually spreading from the black-haired girl’s eyes, Lisa’s heart was as if being devoured by thousands of fire ants, filled with anxiety.

Lisa’s mind was thinking of a way to break free at an unprecedented speed.

And after a moment of ’deep thought,’ an excellent strategy appeared in Lisa’s mind.

So,

She decided to take a gamble.

Taking a deep breath, Lisa tremblingly spoke to the black-haired girl and made a suggestion:

"Miss Bloody Butterfly, you... you came here to kill the Girl of Destiny, right?! I... I have information about the Girl of Destiny! I can take you to find that vile woman!"

"Huh?"
