Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 803 - 804 Bloody Cloud

The red clouds were like a splash of bright red paint on a pure white canvas, instantly dyeing the entire sky red. Such a bizarre scene naturally attracted the attention of many soldiers of the Red Leaf Empire, including Marcus. They looked at the red clouds that gradually swallowed their sky in surprise, confusion, and uneasiness.

And when they looked closely, they found to their amazement that the vast and boundless "red clouds" were not clouds at all.

What constituted these "red clouds" were countless, billions of bloody-red butterflies! And with these butterflies came a nauseating, thick smell of blood and a soul-crushing pressure that covered the sky...

In an instant, Marcus’ face changed drastically,

"Butterflies?! Bloody Butterfly?!"

This aura, without a doubt, belonged to the Bloody Butterfly?!

The power of the Bloody Butterfly had already spread to the Dica Pampas?

What was the situation in the capital Anvika?

For a while, Marcus didn’t even dare to imagine.

When the unease in his heart became a reality, this commander involuntarily held his breath, and the unprecedented pressure suddenly surged into his brain.

’Now,’

’What should I do?!’

If the Holy War Alliance in Anvika had already been defeated, what was the point of their resistance? Even if they fought to death, what was the point? But if they surrendered, wouldn’t they be following the power of the Abyssal Demons? This was something that Marcus could not accept. It violated his beliefs.

However,

Marcus soon discovered that he simply did not have the right to choose.

When the "red clouds" floated over the Red Leaf Army, the countless bloody butterflies, like hungry sharks that smelled blood, instantly attacked the imperial army below in a swarm! And the troops that were just full of momentum, ready to resist the Black Rose family and defend their homes, instantly became the prey of the bloody butterflies.

"Not good!"

"Quick! Activate the army protection array!"

Realizing the danger, Marcus quickly gave the order.

This roar directly brought the stunned imperial soldiers back to their senses, and they immediately activated a layer of deep blue magic shield above the army, trying to block the approach of the blood-red butterflies. Everyone knew that although these butterflies looked very fragile and powerless, they hid a fatal threat.

However,

To everyone’s surprise,

The shield had no effect at all, like a mere formality. The bloody butterflies easily broke through the shield and devoured all the magic power that was used to construct the shield.

Not only that,

Including Marcus, the soldiers of the empire soon discovered in horror that they could not give any effective damage to the bloody butterflies?! Whether it was magical bombardment, sword energy slashes, or large-scale artillery fire, none of them could destroy these bloody butterflies. Although these butterflies would be shattered and dispersed by the alliance’s attacks,

The scarlet-red shadow power particles in the air would quickly rebuild them, instantly turning them into new blood-red butterflies.

Endless, They couldn’t be killed!

"What the hell is this?!"

Under Marcus’ horrified and incredulous gaze, the bloody butterflies, like a red tide, rushed into the army camp of the empire. The defensive line set up by the imperial army was immediately shattered.

In an instant,

Terrifying cries for help, painful screams, and desperate roars broke out in the army.

This was a rampant and unstoppable situation.

These soldiers who were touched by the butterflies quickly aged and decayed at a visible speed, as if their souls and life force had been sucked dry, and instantly turned into corpses with hideous expressions. Although the soldiers fought desperately, their attacks could not harm these butterflies at all. They could only watch as the butterflies absorbed their life force.

In despair, they fell into eternal sleep.

Many unwilling soldiers directly released all their power and activated self-destruction, trying to perish together with the surrounding blood-red butterflies.

But in the end,

They turned into ashes, and the butterflies were unscathed.

Looking at this scene of human hell in front of him, watching his subordinates being devoured one by one, Marcus’ heart was bleeding constantly.

Finally,

After seeing his son being sucked dry and turned into a mummy, Marcus’ spirit collapsed. He made the most wrong decision, which was to draw his sword and rush towards the swarm of bloody-red butterflies.

"Bastards!!! I’m going to fight you to the death!!!!"

Thick yellow Energy attached to the sword, and Marcus attacked the swarm of butterflies with all his might.

Marcus was a famous and powerful seventh-level cultivator.

But even he was like a moth to a flame against the swarm of butterflies, and he was so out of his depth.

In the blink of an eye,

Under the desperate cries of his deputy, Marcus was swallowed by the bloody butterflies, along with his precious sword, becoming the nutrients of the swarm of butterflies.

With the death of their commander,

The morale of the Red Leaf Empire’s central army completely collapsed, and the soldiers no longer had the will to fight. They were completely consumed by fear and fled in all directions under the instinct of survival. With the complete collapse of the formation, there was no force to resist the butterflies.

At this point,

It was only a matter of time before the Red Leaf Empire’s central army was annihilated.

...

On the other side,

Even the "kind-hearted" Black Rose higher-ups couldn’t help but fall into silence as they watched the scene in front of them that was like a human hell and made people suffocate.

They knew, of course,

That the bloody butterflies were the power gathered by their Lady Yumo.

Therefore, the Black Rose people were not surprised by the fact that the blood butterflies had destroyed the army of the Red Leaf Empire. What really shocked them was this cruel and ruthless way of killing... This didn’t seem like something their Lady would do.

If it were in the past, Yumo would probably have disabled these guys’ fighting abilities, rather than ruthlessly slaughter them...

Although they also agreed to kill them all, they also planned to do so later,

But,

When they saw this scene, they still felt a little uncomfortable when it was completed by Yumo’s bloody butterflies.

As the secretary-general of the duke, Wanya couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand and use magic to suppress the surging in her stomach.

However, soon,

Wanya shook her head with a sigh of relief.

’No, I Don’t need to think too much about it’

’This doesn’t also mean that Lady Yumo has successfully changed her attitude towards humans? She is no longer willing to cultivate human forces for the so-called suicide, but to eliminate hostile elements on a large scale. Our goal has been achieved, hasn’t it?’

Thinking this way, Wanya felt much better in her heart.

More importantly,

Looking at the Red Leaf army being slaughtered by the bloody butterflies in front of her, Wanya slowly put down the magic bow in her hand and looked at the handsome black-haired man beside her with a sense of relief.

"Lord Duke, it seems that in the end, Lady Yumo chose us and destroyed those Holy War alliances... Huh?"

However, as soon as she said this,

Wanya unconsciously frowned,

Because,

She found that her Duke was not like the other Black Rose higher-ups, showing a surprised and relieved expression, but had an unprecedentedly serious expression and was looking into the distance at the sky.

"My Lord?"

Confused, Wanya followed Xiao’s gaze and looked up at the sky.

Then, she saw the figure floating in the sky, surrounded by butterflies, which was Yumo, who had taken care of them when they were young!

After seeing her figure, Wanya habitually drove the warhorse forward and tried to wave and greet Lady Yumo as she did when she was a child.

However,

Before she could speak, Xiao’s serious warning came from behind, stopping Wanya’s actions:

"Don’t go! It’s dangerous."

"Huh? My Lord, what are you saying?"

Wanya was stunned and looked at Xiao in disbelief.

She didn’t understand, what danger could there be in greeting Lady Yumo?

However,

Xiao seemed to have no intention of explaining, but instead gave a solemn order in a tone that brooked no argument.

"Pass on my order, full retreat of the entire army! NOW!!!!!"
