Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1000: A Substitute?

1/5

Lady Yumo...

After observing the events unfolding on the distant battlefield through his magic, Xiao anxiously clenched his fists. His nails dug deep into his flesh, blood dripping onto the snow, blooming into vivid red flowers.

At this moment, In the magical projection, Yumo was completely on the defensive. Under the joint attack of Asar and Eos, the black-haired girl was retreating step by step, almost constantly taking hits passively.

Although there was no verbal communication between Eos and Asar, through their contract connection, Asar could easily control Eos’s actions with her mind, making their coordination reach a terrifying level of synchronization.

Faced with such formidable teamwork, Yumo, with her vast inexperience, had almost every attack seen through and neutralized, quickly suffering fierce counterattacks.

More importantly. To restrict Yumo’s power, Asar and Eos forcibly kept the battlefield near the ground. Concerned about causing irreversible damage to the earth and to avoid harming her children still in Vinati, Yumo’s movements were hesitant. Not only did she not dare to launch attacks at full force, but she also had to release Shadow Power to protect the Holy City of Vinati and the surrounding areas of the battlefield, even having to endure the attacks released by her two enemies.

If Yumo hadn’t been exerting all her effort to control it, the aftershocks of three Ninth level powerhouses fighting would have been enough to annihilate everything within ten thousand miles. Xiao wouldn’t even have had the chance to observe.

However, the cost of this was obvious: Yumo’s energy was rapidly depleting, and the battle situation was becoming increasingly passive for her.

Damn it!

To threaten Lady Yumo in such a way!

Staring intently at the chosen one in the projection, the killing intent in Xiao’s heart had swelled to an unprecedented degree.

To attack the surroundings so recklessly, forcing Lady Yumo to expose weaknesses while putting out fires?! Then seizing the opportunity to launch fierce attacks?! How despicable!

But, Doing this, aren’t they afraid of hurting Mengxi?! Didn’t she say she didn’t want to offend the Goddess?

Hm? Could it be that Asar is so confident that Lady Yumo will definitely use her body to absorb the attacks, that she dares to be so reckless?

Damn it!

Although he wanted to help Yumo, knowing his limited strength, restrained the urge to rush to the battlefield. After all, even if he went now, he would only be a burden to Yumo. The only thing Xiao could do now was to quickly take Mengxi away, guide the Black Rose family to retreat, and do his utmost not to drag them down.

However, As expected of the Black Rose dukes, even in this moment when his heart was anxious and restless with worry, Xiao still noticed something unusual.

? ? Hm? Wait?

Staring at the black-haired girl in the projection, Xiao furrowed his brow.

"Wait? This, this is?!"

….

Meanwhile, On the wilderness,

With the surge of pale Shadow Power, five huge mirrors floating in the air summoned by Eos suddenly revealed five ferocious beasts, each with a different form and hideous appearance. These beasts roared and burst through the mirror surfaces in physical form, launching wave after wave of frenzied attacks at the black-haired girl in mid-air.

World-destroying light exploded in the sky wave after wave. Claw attacks and bites that could easily swat away mountains and tear the earth apart poured down frantically.

Already overwhelmed by fighting two opponents, now with five more monsters joining the assault, Yumo seemed even more powerless. She was directly beaten until her entire body was bathed in blood.

Since her birth, Yumo seemed to have never suffered such severe injuries.

"AWOOOOO!!!!"

With a thunderous roar, a giant snake-like monster with two pairs of demon horns and a body covered in pitch-black scales suddenly opened its abyssal maw, lunging at Yumo with world-devouring momentum. Although Yumo tried to evade, she seemed a bit dazed from the beating and failed to dodge the giant snake beast’s attack. Her right arm was directly caught in its jaws.

CRACK!!

After a bout of tearing, Yumo’s arm, already barely hanging on, was violently ripped off by the giant snake.

In an instant, blood rained down from the sky.

The girl’s arm was swallowed by the giant snake beast, while Yumo’s body was flung towards the ground due to the enormous pulling force.

Of course, On the ground, Asar was already waiting with her giant scythe in hand.

Facing the falling black-haired girl, Asar’s cold eyes suddenly narrowed, and she raised her scythe, enveloped in platinum divine power, high above her head. In such a situation, Yumo naturally couldn’t sit idly by. Countless blood butterflies, carrying an all-devouring momentum, swarmed towards Asar from all directions.

Unfortunately, These terrifying blood butterflies, capable of instantly devouring a peak Eighth level powerhouse, hadn’t even approached Asar’s body before they were sliced to pieces in a flurry of blade flashes, disintegrating into a shower of blood-colored light particles.

"What, what is this?!"

At this moment, Yumo was surprised to discover that behind Asar, a huge energy phantom constructed of divine power had appeared, with five faces and eight arms, resembling a ghostly grim ripper. Each arm of the phantom held a terrifying blood-moon scythe. It was the rapid swinging of these eight arms that had easily shattered the blood butterflies’ encirclement.

"This thing? It’s ’Protective Asura’, a divine technique inherited from my ancestor that combines offense and defense."

As soon as she finished speaking,

The eight-armed Asura swung its blood scythes at Yumo with overwhelming force and killing intent.

In an instant, The protective energy around Yumo shattered completely.

Having lost her last defense, Yumo was unable to resist Asar’s next attack. As Asar’s arms moved, the divine weapon suddenly slashed towards Yumo, directly piercing through her abdomen. At the same time, Asar’s other hand violently penetrated Yumo’s chest. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, not only staining the ground red but also dyeing half of Asar’s face crimson.

Yumo’s blood possessed strong corrosive; ordinary people would lose their sanity and turn into Abyssal Demons upon contact.

But for Asar, who possessed powerful divine power, this level of corrosion was negligible.

She even seemed to enjoy the fruits of her victory, using her tongue to lick the blood that had flowed to the corner of her mouth.

"What’s wrong, Lady Yumo? Is this all you’ve got?"

Asar said with some disappointment.

However, Yumo didn’t respond to her. Instead, she lowered her head and began to tremble all over.

Seeing the black-haired girl’s reaction, Asar clicked her tongue disdainfully:

"Tch... Are you scared? Sigh, in the end, just a powerless figurehead? It seems I really overestimated you... Hm?!!?!"

However, before Asar could finish her thoughts, this Child of Destiny suddenly realized that her judgment might have been wrong.

Yumo wasn’t trembling from pain or fear.

She was trembling... from excitement?

The reason Asar came to this conclusion was simple. When the black-haired girl trembled and raised her head, what met Asar’s eyes wasn’t a face streaming with tears and cowering in fear, but a stunningly beautiful visage wearing an excited, ferocious smile, full of morbid emotions?!!

No!

This isn’t right!! Something’s off!

Drawing on her inherited battle experience, Asar immediately recognized the abnormality in Yumo’s expression. This was definitely not the expression of someone who had been beaten to a pulp; this was clearly the expression of someone enjoying the battle?!

Enjoying being beaten?!

What the hell?!

More importantly, her gaze clearly showed she was plotting something!

Realizing something was amiss, Asar hurriedly tried to distance herself from Yumo. However, she was shocked to find that the hole she had pierced in Yumo’s chest had already healed.

As a result, her arm was firmly trapped within the other’s flesh, making it difficult to pull out immediately.

"Wh-what?! This... this regeneration speed?!"

But before Asar could recover from her shock, Yumo’s remaining left arm suddenly shot up, tightly gripping Asar’s neck.

"Cough cough!!"

Asar’s left hand quickly let go of the scythe and grabbed Yumo’s hand, trying to break free. Unfortunately, the other’s unexpectedly powerful strength left Asar unable to move.

No matter how hard she tried, it was useless.

What’s going on?!

Lady Yumo’s strength?! How did it suddenly increase so much?!

Staring at Asar’s changing expression, the black-haired girl’s smile grew even brighter. Combined with her blood-covered face, it looked extremely eerie and chilling.

"Hehe, Gotcha!..."

As the words fell, when "Yumo" opened her eyes again, her blood-red eyes suddenly turned into an strange rainbow color.

Her aura underwent a complete transformation.

"W… What’s going on?!"

This unexpected situation undoubtedly made Asar feel a bit panicked.

However, before Asar could react, She was forcibly dragged towards the sky by an irresistible force.
