Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 815 - 816: One Wolf, One Person

Boom!!!

Under the extreme unwillingness, the black-haired girl suddenly unleashed all the Shadow Power she could control within her body.

Although her strength had been greatly limited due to Mengxi’s provocation earlier, even with the restrictions, the controlled Shadow Power within her body was less than one-tenth. But at the critical moment, the bursting crimson laser still possessed a devastating power!

The crimson pillar of light rose from the ground, and the expanding explosive energy engulfed everything within dozens of miles. Everything was annihilated in this terrifying power.

Both living beings and inanimate objects were obliterated, turning into tiny specks of dust.

The black-haired girl’s attack spared no one, even the blood-colored butterflies that covered the sky were affected by her power, disintegrating into countless crimson particles.

This was the black-haired girl’s final struggle.

She attempted to break the seal formed by the golden and red divine power with the explosion of her own power. Even if she couldn’t shatter the seal, she would drag Mengxi down to hell!

I absolutely would not allow that woman to have the last laugh!

...

Thousands of miles away,

Watching the soaring red light, the silver-haired woman standing on the edge of the cliff restrained her usual playful expression and revealed a rare serious look on her face. However, compared to Miss Fox, who stood beside her, astonished and speechless, the silver-haired woman’s eyes did not show the same urgency and anxiety as Noya’s. Instead, they held a trace of helplessness and guilt.

Faced with such a earth-shattering explosion, the silver-haired woman did not make a move. Instead, she slowly let go and gazed into the distance.

"Little Yumo~, you’ve slept for too long. It’s time to wake up~"

At the same time,

Compared to the calmness of the silver-haired woman, Xiao and the others, who were also witnessing this scene of destruction, fell into a state of shock.

Although they were fortunate enough to enter the teleportation formation that had been set up in advance and escape to the camp dozens of miles away before the explosion occurred, the aftermath of the blast still mercilessly impacted them.

As this powerful shockwave struck, an invisible spiritual pressure suddenly descended from the sky, causing numerous members of the Black Rose pseudo-family and the Ghostly Flame mercenary who lacked sufficient strength to faint and foam at the mouth.

If it weren’t for Xiao’s timely activation of the camp’s defensive formation, the entire Black Rose would have been completely wiped out.

Even so, the remaining members of the family had completely lost their fighting ability.

Even the powerful high-ranking members were almost kneeling on the ground, struggling to hold on.

Even Xiao himself couldn’t help but show a painful expression as he struggled to resist the terrifying soul pressure from the impact.

"What happened over there?"

Xiao whispered anxiously.

Fortunately,

Due to the distance from the center of the explosion,

The almost suffocating and mentally crushing energy shockwave did not last long.

As the crimson energy dissipated, Xiao’s body went limp, involuntarily kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with one hand and gasping for breath. Undoubtedly, to withstand the previous impact, he had almost exhausted all his magic power to maintain the grand defense of the camp.

Therefore, after the defense dispersed, Xiao appeared so weak and exhausted.

"Huff... Is it finally... over?"

Looking up and gazing into the distance, Xiao muttered with lingering fear.

At the same time,

Worried emotions involuntarily surged in Xiao’s heart.

Using reconnaissance magic earlier, Xiao could barely observe the situation on the battlefield. However, after the devastating shockwave, the "Eye of Reconnaissance" that he had left near the battlefield was undoubtedly swept away and shattered.

With no knowledge of the current situation, Xiao’s concern deepened.

Lady Yumo, what is her current situation with the Girl of Destiny?

Why did Lady Yumo experience such pain just now? What was that golden and red pillar of light? Why did she suddenly unleash her power, causing such a terrifying explosion?

Confusion, Like a spring, surged in Xiao’s mind.

With these doubts in mind, Xiao forcefully swallowed some magic recovery pills and struggled to stand up from the ground. "My Lord?! What are you planning?!"

Wanya, the chief secretary who gradually regained her senses from dizziness, anxiously asked when she saw Xiao getting up.

As Xiao’s confidante, she had a good guess about Xiao’s current thoughts.

And Wanya’s guess was correct. Xiao quickly gave her an unsettling message:

"I’m going to the battlefield to see the situation."

Upon hearing this answer, Wanya’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and she frantically shook her head in anxiety:

"My Lord! Think twice! We don’t know what the situation is with Lady Yumo right now! It’s dangerous for you to go back recklessly!"

Not only Wanya, but the other high-ranking members of the Black Rose who had regained their senses also tried to persuade him.

"I know..."

Xiao nodded without giving a definite answer.

Undoubtedly,

He couldn’t confirm whether Yumo was still out of control like before. If she was truly out of control, then going back would be like walking into a tiger’s den, seeking his own death.

From a rational perspective, Xiao should not go back. He should stay far away and observe the situation from a distance.

But this time,

Rarely, Xiao broke free from rational thinking.

Yumo had raised him, taught him, and served as both his mentor and foster mother. Xiao couldn’t ignore her uncertain fate.

’Furthermore, what if Lady Yumo was still out of control?’

’After experiencing the suicidal explosion just now, could she have been injured and weakened? If that were the case, it might be the best opportunity to awaken her consciousness. Opportunity knocks but once...’

Considering this, Xiao gave Wanya a resolute answer:

"I understand, but... I still have to go. But I’ll go alone, you don’t need to follow. Wanya, you stay here and organize the available personnel to quickly rebuild the legion. Don’t worry about anything else."

"My Lord, wait!"

Wanya continued to try to stop Xiao, but it was clearly in vain.

Ignoring Wanya’s further persuasion, Xiao resolutely looked towards the distant landscape still filled with remnants of crimson energy. He mobilized the magic he had just recovered and prepared to charge forward.

"Hmm?!"

However, as soon as he mobilized his magic, Xiao clutched his chest in unbearable pain and involuntarily knelt back down on the ground.

Ahh...

My body seemed to be unable to handle it anymore.

Feeling the tearing sensation transmitted through his body, Xiao furrowed his brow. Although his magic had been continuously recovering under the assistance of medication, this constant depletion and recovery of power had clearly placed a burden on Xiao’s body, leading to the current backlash.

However,

Just as Xiao was about to endure the pain and take off, a white figure hurriedly arrived by his side.

"Hmm? Limo?"

Seeing Limo, who had transformed into a two-meter-tall giant wolf, Xiao couldn’t help but show a look of surprise, but quickly returned to a calm expression. Meeting Limo’s innocent red eyes, Xiao smiled with understanding.

"Do you want to go too?"

In response, the white wolf nodded repeatedly.

Although Xiao had never intended to let Limo go, seeing the determination in her eyes, he swallowed the words of dissuasion that were about to come out.

"Alright, I understand. Let’s go together, Limo."

After receiving this answer, Limo let out a few howls and slowly lowered her body, allowing Xiao to climb onto her back.

Besides Liyu and Lady Yumo, Xiao could be considered the third person to ride on Limo’s back and the only human to ride on a Demon King. Realizing this, Xiao couldn’t help but smile with a myriad of emotions.

"Let’s go, let’s find Lady Yumo."

"Wooof!!"

After letting out a long howl, Limo, with Xiao on her back, transformed into a pure white light. Under the anxious gaze of Wanya and the other high-ranking members of the Black Rose, they rushed toward the center of the explosion with all their might.
