Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 872 - 873: The Person Observing in the Shadows

"Holy power?"

At this moment, Pierre frowned, and for the first time he became serious.

Undoubtedly, the humans Pierre encountered this time were very abnormal. Especially when they erupted, the silvery-white light enveloping their bodies made Pierre quite concerned.

Under the embrace of that light, these weak humans actually possessed the power to directly confront ordinary Abyssal Demons? A level 5 Abyssal Demon requires at least four or five humans of the same level to confront. And these few level 5 fellows? Just now, one person actually confronted several Abyssal Demons?

This silvery-white light didn’t belong to these humans and seemed to be a kind of external auxiliary power.

After obtaining the boost from this power, the strength of these people greatly increased, but at the same time, their sanity was also rapidly stripped away. Except for the brown-haired man who spoke last, the rest of the people had already become like mindless beasts when they self-destructed, only knowing how to howl nonstop.

Giving power while losing sanity?

This, why does it feel a bit familiar?

"It’s a bit like Shadow Power?"

Looking around, Pierre felt more and more puzzled.

However, although this power was very violent, when this power was released without restraint, Pierre still smelled a hint of familiarity. After directly taking this explosion head-on, Pierre was even more certain of his guess.

This strange thing, its essence was holy power!

"Holy power? The Church Nation did this? Are they the ones who want to harm Aya?"

After coming to this guess, Pierre’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, and solemnity and alertness enveloped his face. And along with the solemnity, a chilling killing intent also overflowed.

Unlike Yuan’er, Pierre had never had a good impression of the Asumos Church and the Girl of Destiny.

If it weren’t for his mother’s instructions back then, Pierre would never have agreed to coexist with that group. In Pierre’s view, the hostility of the Church and the Girl of Destiny towards Abyssal Demons was impossible to dissipate. Due to the power in their bodies, they were two incompatible groups that couldn’t coexist.

Mutual slaughter was an inevitable future.

Six years ago, when the upper echelons of the Church had just been wiped out, we should have taken the opportunity to eradicate the Church’s forces! Even if Mom was unwilling, it had to be done! Otherwise, if they were allowed to recuperate and develop again, sooner or later, it would be a huge threat again.

And now?

Facts seemed to prove that his judgment was correct?

In just a short six years, before they had even been peaceful for long, the Asumos Church fellows actually started harboring evil intentions again? This time, they even directly sent out an assassination squad to target Aya. If he hadn’t made a move, these Church members enhanced by the silvery-white energy seemed to really be able to threaten Aya.

Also, according to the analysis conclusion given by Xiao, that pink-haired girl from the Black Rose family seemed to have also been attacked by people from the Church?

"Those Church Nation dogs, do they want to bring about their own destruction again?"

Thinking of this, Pierre clenched his fists, and the violent light purple Shadow Power mixed with terrifying lightning power began to vent towards the surroundings with Pierre at the center, without any scruples.

If it were the past Pierre, he would probably directly rush to the Church Nation and make a big scene.

But now, after six years of growth, Pierre had also learned to control his emotions and didn’t act impulsively like in the past. Instead, he calmed down and started analyzing the problem.

Of course, it was absolutely not because he was afraid of getting spanked by a feather duster after making a move against the Church Nation! Absolutely not!

"But, something seems a bit off."

The calm Pierre looked around thoughtfully.

The Church hating Abyssal Demons and humans being hostile to Abyssal Demons were common sense. But those Church fellows shouldn’t be stupid, right? They had just been taught a lesson by Mom not long ago. It had only been a short six years. They couldn’t have forgotten the pain so quickly after the scars healed, right?

Moreover, although the Church Nation established on the foundation of the Asumos Church was one of the three great empires in the current world, its strength was completely incomparable to the veteran Sadik and Holy Lomari. Not to mention, behind these two empires stood our Abyssal Demons and the Black Rose family. Making a move against us was tantamount to seeking their own destruction.

Nana had also said that the Girl of Destiny was not a fool. She shouldn’t do such a stupid thing, right?

But, this was indeed holy power? Besides the Church Nation, no one else used this power?

Ahhhh!!

"So annoying, so annoying!! Annoyed ahhhh?!!"

After thinking for a while, the completely confused Pierre finally couldn’t help but hold his head and frantically stomp on the ground. Very obviously, the more he thought about it, the more baffled Pierre became. He had originally hoped to capture a person and bring them back to Shuoyue for verification. But now? They all self-destructed to death?

Just relying on his own thinking, he seemed to be unable to figure out the reason.

Moreover, with his intelligence, he probably wouldn’t be able to figure it out either.

Pierre had some self-awareness regarding his own brain.

Plus, Pierre didn’t really like this exercise called thinking.

So, after a bout of fruitless pondering, Pierre simply gave up thinking.

"Forget it, never mind~ In any case, they are all just clowns jumping around. Let them do as they please. Although the silvery-white light is strange, it’s not enough to threaten us. I’ll just tell Kalina about what happened here and let her think about it. As for me... I’ll just enjoy my vacation~"

After muttering to himself for a bit, the relieved Pierre picked up the "Silver Moon" sword that had been left aside for a long time, and trotted towards Night Wish City.

Pierre had already seen enough of such suicidal clowns in the past few hundred years.

No matter how these guys stirred up trouble, in the end, they would only crumble in the face of their absolute power. Since it was destined to be so, Pierre couldn’t be bothered to care so much. After transmitting the intelligence here to Kalina, Pierre walked while pondering another important question.

That was, the engagement banquet.

"What gift should I prepare for Yuan’er?"

"How about bringing her some of the latest lollipop blind boxes from the capital?"

Soon, with his hands in his pockets, Pierre disappeared into a bolt of lightning while humming a tune and left this suburb area in high spirits.

Leaving behind a mess and a crater full of scorched air.

…

And not long after Pierre left, two uninvited guests arrived on this scorched earth.

Accompanied by the flashing of silvery-white light, two figures appeared in the center of the crater without warning. Both were dressed in silvery-white robes. Because they were wearing hoods, their true appearances were not revealed. At most, it could be judged from their figures that this was a male-female duo.

However, these two were obviously not an investigation team that had rushed over urgently after hearing the explosion, but had been lurking on a distant mountain peak, silently observing this battlefield.

After confirming that the Sword Demon had left, the two used magic to instantly cross a distance of tens of thousands of miles and arrived at the center of the battlefield.

After taking a brief look around, one of the taller men slowly bent down, half-kneeling on the ground, and stretched out his hand to press on the charred earth. A wave of pink energy fluctuations rippled out with the man at the center, quickly enveloping this piece of land. And under the guidance of this red light, silvery-white energy particles slowly surged out from the scorched earth and quickly rushed towards the man.

The next instant, the gathered energy was absorbed by the man in an instant.

And the man slowly stood up from the ground.

"How is it? Did you find a way to deal with Sword Demon?"

The petite and slender woman beside him asked indifferently.

And facing this question, a ferocious smile gradually cracked open on the face under the man’s hood.

...

--"Hehe, thanks to the research of our predecessors and the sacrifice of these ten colleagues... Now... I have a way to kill that demon."—
