Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 943 - 944: Disappointment

7/15

Liyu narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the man named Luca in the distance with displeasure and vigilance.

It seemed that the attack we suffered was not a simple chance encounter, but an ambush by the Church Nation troops. In other words, our identities had been exposed long ago?

She thought they could pretend to be cute pets like when they infiltrated the Sky Dome in the past, and then easily go with the flow.

Hehe.

"It seems I underestimated you a bit. To think you could discover our tracks."

After making a surprised remark, Liyu’s eyes instantly turned cold. Her icy gaze, like sharp arrows, mercilessly pierced towards Luca.

"But? Wanting our heads? Hehe, you dare say that... The liberation of mankind? Freeing the world!? What is that? What does it have to do with us? Why should we offer our heads for some nonsensical cause you mentioned? You’re really daydreaming."

"Heh, hehe~."

Faced with Liyu’s retort, Luca sneered coldly with contempt and anger:

"Why? It’s because of the heinous blood crimes you’ve committed against humans for hundreds of years. Just repaying with two heads is already considered..."

However, before he could finish his words, Luca’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Because a white figure had already flashed into Luca’s field of vision in an instant, causing his brows to furrow abruptly.

"Hah?!"

"Die, you trash!!!!"

Accompanied by the wolf girl’s frenzied laughter, the claws shrouded in overwhelming Shadow Power suddenly slashed down towards Luca’s head!!

Boom!!

With an earth-shattering loud noise, the scarlet Shadow Power fluctuations scattered and exploded. Luca’s figure, along with the huge mountain beneath his feet, shattered in an instant. Seeing the enemy in front of her being directly torn apart, joy suddenly overflowed in Limo’s eyes.

However, this emotion was fleeting, because the next moment Limo smelled that familiar and nauseating odor.

"Meow? Not dead?"

Relying on her keen sense of smell, Limo made a very correct judgment.

Luca had not been dealt with by her. What she destroyed was just an ordinary Holy Light clone.

The next moment, under the embrace of silver-white light, after a distortion in the air, Luca’s real body suddenly appeared in mid-air. Staring at the wolf girl below who was rampaging under the shroud of Shadow Power, and the no longer existent mountain peak, Luca clicked his tongue with disdain.

"Tsk, attacking directly before I finished speaking? No martial ethics at all. As expected of a beast."

"Roar~"

Not being able to kill the enemy in one hit didn’t disappoint Limo. On the contrary, Limo suddenly let out a series of excited low growls, as if she had found an interesting and durable toy and food.

Her limb muscles suddenly tensed, and Shadow Power surged rapidly towards her four limbs.

Boom!!

In an instant, the earth cracked. Amidst the shaking of the earth and mountains, Limo stepped on the ground and suddenly leaped into the air, rushing towards Luca in mid-air, directly engaging in fierce close combat with him.

For a moment, scarlet energy and silver light began to clash in the sky, and terrifying energy rapidly spread in all directions. The remaining magical beasts and humans nearby, upon sensing this horrifying power, were all scared out of their wits and fled in panic towards the distance.

However, unlike the Church Nation warriors who were easily slapped to death by Limo earlier, Luca relied on his powerful martial arts to dodge or block, easily resolving dozens of rounds of Limo’s attacks.

Even after dodging one of Limo’s grabs with a sidestep, Luca’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He quickly raised his hand to grab Limo’s arm and used the momentum of Limo’s charge to suddenly fling her away!

Boom!

Amidst an earth-shattering loud noise, Limo was directly smashed onto the ground.

"Sinner, accept your punishment."

-Holy Fire Cross!-

As Luca clasped his hands together, the ground around Limo suddenly erupted with raging silver holy flames. The holy flames rapidly converged towards Limo and suddenly turned into a huge flaming cross! This move was the sacred realm magic that Luca had used to heavily injure Wilt and Ophelia in one go back then.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

However, this time, the effect didn’t seem as ideal as Luca had imagined.

"Oh ho?"

The next moment, scarlet light flashed within the flames, and a beam of scarlet energy instantly pierced through the Holy Fire Cross and directly rushed towards Luca. Faced with such a direct attack, Luca easily dodged this Shadow Annihilation shot with a flash. Unfortunately, a distant mountain peak didn’t have such good luck and was directly blasted into rubble by the shot.

Although Limo’s Shadow Annihilation didn’t cause any damage to Luca, it shattered the Holy Fire Cross surrounding her with one shot.

When the silver flames dissipated, Limo was on all fours, her face fierce, staring intently at Luca in the sky. Bone-chilling low growls occasionally came from her mouth, as if she was an enraged beast.

That’s right, although the Holy Fire Cross didn’t heavily injure Limo, it still caused considerable damage to her body.

Staring at such a Limo, seeing her body with only some burns, Luca couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise.

"Such a strong physique and regenerative ability... As expected of a Demon King. No wonder our predecessors had difficulty dealing with such monsters."

A skill that could heavily injure two high-stage eighth-level powerhouses like Wilt and Ophelia could only cause some superficial wounds when used against a Demon King?

Of course, Luca also knew that now was not the time to sigh. Silver holy energy began to gather in his hands, preparing to deal with Limo’s next wave of attacks.

However, just as Limo was about to recklessly charge again driven by her ferocity, Liyu, who had been briefly observing, suddenly appeared in front of Limo and grabbed her sister who was about to go berserk.

"Calm down, sister. If you rashly charge like this, you can’t win against this guy."

"Roar?"

"Your fighting style has already been seen through by the opponent. Calm down."

"Roar..."

Although Limo was reckless, Liyu’s words undoubtedly had a certain restraining effect on her. Limo, who was about to launch a fierce attack, gradually retracted her released Shadow Power and looked at her sister in confusion.

Liyu didn’t explain, but instead cast her gaze towards Luca in the sky, her jade-green eyes filled with disdain:

"I really don’t understand how you Church Wings dare to call yourselves morally superior. Earlier, the reason you were hiding in the distance to observe was to use the sacrifice of your subordinates to figure out my and my sister’s fighting styles, right? Treating loyal subordinates as pawns? You really have no shame. Aren’t you afraid that the souls of the soldiers will seek revenge on you after their deaths?"

Hearing this, Luca smiled indifferently and waved his hand casually:

"Revenge? Impossible. The sacrifice of those warriors was not meaningless. They were contributing to the great cause of liberating all mankind. I believe they will understand. On the contrary, monsters like you will never understand our beliefs."

"Your beliefs? Boring. I don’t understand, and I have no interest in understanding."

Liyu snorted coldly with disdain:

"However, knowing our identities and launching attacks against us so brazenly. The previous attacks on Holy Lomari and the Sadik Empire, as well as the assassination attempt on Marquis Xiumu, were all related to you, right?"

"So what if they were? Knowing now is already too late."

Luca admitted without hesitation.

"Who made you do this?"

"Who?"

Faced with this question, Luca suddenly revealed a contemptuous gaze. After a brief contempt, this Church Wing clasped his hands together and looked towards the east with a devout gaze:

"Do you even need to ask? Who else could lead us faithful believers to liberate the world from you Abyssal demons? Naturally, it’s our great Majesty!"

"The Girl of Destiny?"

"Exactly."

"Heh, hehe..."

After getting this answer, Liyu couldn’t help but tremble inwardly, letting out a few cold laughs, finding it a bit hard to accept.

From the other party’s expression, Liyu could be certain.

This guy named Luca wasn’t lying.

Actually, Liyu had long suspected this answer. After all, for such an important decision targeting the Abyss demons and the major empires, it was almost impossible for the Church Nation people to keep it from Mengxi and do it secretly. Moreover, without support from the highest level, it would be impossible to mobilize such a huge force.

It’s just that, considering her mother and Yuan’er, Liyu had wanted to deny this fact.

Therefore, when the uneasy guess was confirmed, Liyu felt an indescribable disappointment in her heart.

The Girl of Destiny?

You...

"Sigh, in the end... You turned out to be our enemy..."
