Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1074: Adding Fuel to the Fire

"BOOM!!!"

With a thunderous crash, the crocodile demon landed before Satoru, staring at his face with murderous red eyes. It let out a hysterical roar: "GRAAAWWWRR!!!"

Along with the roar came thick putrid stench and overwhelming shadow power pressure!

Satoru had never faced off against an Abyssal Demon before. Thus, when confronting this crocodile demon unleashing its power and radiating killing intent, he felt a chill run down his spine as his courage instantly crumbled.

Fear from the depths of his soul surged forth. His body broke out in cold sweat as he involuntarily stumbled backward.

Seeing its prey show fear, the crocodile demon let out a grotesque excited growl while advancing step by step toward Satoru.

However, just as the demon prepared to devour Satoru and the humans around him, it suddenly froze - because it abruptly noticed the black-haired girl behind Satoru had turned her indifferent gaze toward it.

Though she hadn't released any power and seemed as weak as the ordinary humans it had just devoured, merely meeting that gaze made the crocodile demon feel instinctive fear.

Vaguely, its entire massive body seemed to be held in her grasp.

Whimper...

Guided by survival instinct, the crocodile demon that had just been unstoppably devouring everything immediately cowardly retreated.

Watching this trembling demon, Yumo, now back to her senses, narrowed her eyes.

Emmm, it seemed Momo was right. Demons not created by me, not belonging to me, won't directly obey my will. But these demons will instinctively fear other Abyssal Lords.

Perhaps Lena wasn't wrong. Moving Earth and the Ancita continent to the outer realm, then I could do as I please...

But would it really go as smoothly as Lena said?

Having been deceived too many times, the experienced Yumo wasn't going to simply believe Lena's words - she needed time to think and judge.

However, before that, these interfering demons and infected needed to be dealt with.

Thinking this, under the crocodile demon's terrified gaze, after glancing indifferently at this grotesque beast and the zombie-like crowd surging nearby, Yumo slowly raised her right hand.

Seeing this, Satoru quickly guessed Yumo's intention. He fully agreed to eliminate the demons, but seeing Yumo seemingly about to annihilate those civilians too, hesitation flashed in the special police captain's eyes.

"Yumo! They're... they're all innocent bystanders!"

As an upright police officer, Satoru still couldn't bear to watch innocent people die.

Unfortunately, faced with Satoru's words, Yumo gave him a very cruel answer.

"They're already infected. There's no saving them."

"Aren't you an Abyssal Lord?! Isn't there some way..."

"Sorry, there isn't." Yumo said decisively: "Once infected, there's no going back. Even as an Abyssal Lord, I can't change this fact."

There seemed to be a trace of helplessness in Yumo's words.

Indeed, Yumo wasn't lying. Shadow power was the most corrosive force in this world.

Even mighty Abyssal Lords had their consciousness corroded by it. If even Abyssal Lords were like this, what more ordinary civilians without power?

Once infected, even Abyssal Lords couldn't reverse the process - the infected could only become mindless Abyssal Demons.

This was one reason why beings in Source Star so feared Abyssal Demons.

"Don't worry, I'll make their passing peaceful..."

Yumo said coldly while slowly stepping forward.

However, just as the crocodile demon was feeling panic and Yumo was about to act, an unexpected voice suddenly reached Yumo's ears, making her body tremble as shock appeared on her face.

"Stay away from my sister!!! You disgusting monster!!!"

?!!

This... this voice?

"Mina?!!"

The next instant, accompanied by the girl's hysterical roar, a black light suddenly struck, violently hitting the crocodile demon's abdomen and forcing it back dozens of meters. Then, going all out with her body shrouded in black mist, a short-haired girl descended from the sky, landing beside Yumo.

It was Yumo's beloved sister, Mina.

Though Mina didn't want her innocent and adorable sister involved with things like spiritual power and Abyssal Demons, and didn't want her to know about her unusual nature... but seeing her sister in 'danger', surrounded by demons and infected, how could Mina have a choice?!

Rushing back hurriedly, she dropped her bubble tea without a word and charged to Yumo's side.

Looking at the strong enemy that had only retreated a few steps after taking her full-power attack, Mina bit her lip.

As expected, a Level 6 Abyssal Demon wasn't something she could handle.

Though extremely unwilling, Mina sensibly turned directly and picked up her sister.

"Sis, don't be afraid! I'm here..."

"M-Mina?!! What are you do..."

"I'll explain later! Retreating is urgent now!! This monster is too strong - we can't handle it!!!"

"Can't...?! This monster, I can..."

"Hold tight, Sis!"

Not waiting for Yumo's continued calls, Mina, desperate to save her sister, directly held Yumo with her right arm, grabbed Satoru's collar with her left, and with a powerful kick against the ground, suddenly launched like a missile toward the distance!

Leaving a certain demon standing dumbfounded in place, trembling...

Meanwhile, atop a distant Ferris wheel, a beautiful blue-haired woman was quietly watching all the chaos in the park while enjoying a slushie.

Watching the black-haired girl forcibly carried away by Mina, Lena smiled with great pleasure.

"Looks like she is still hesitating," Lena murmured. "But that's natural - though she's a bit silly, she wouldn't normally suddenly believe my words."

In that case, let me give you another push.

Once you have no way back, you'll have to come to me eventually.

Heh, hehehe~
