Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 964 - 965: Extreme Displeasure

In the morning, at the Prime Minister’s Mansion in the Holy Capital Vinati.

Outside the inner courtyard, the most important forbidden area of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, after dismissing several maids who had followed, the Education Minister Zuoben, with disheveled gray hair, carried a tray filled with exquisite delicacies and slowly walked through the barrier into the inner courtyard. The moment he passed through the barrier, Zuoben’s body was enveloped in a holy, faint golden light.

Surrounded by the holy light, in a short while, the image of the haggard uncle disappeared, replaced by a woman with golden curly hair and a face as beautiful as a flower under the moon.

The woman entered the room to deliver some delicious snacks to her goddess.

In order to prevent this playful goddess from inadvertently running out again, the woman had to frequently prepare some delicious desserts to entice her to stay in the courtyard. No matter what, now was a critical period. If they were not careful, the plan might be all for naught.

"G-Goddess?"

However, after entering the goddess’s room, the golden-haired woman, that is, Tania, couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

It wasn’t because her goddess had disappeared again, but because the goddess was sitting quietly at the foot of the bed.

Usually, every time she entered the room, the goddess would basically be interacting with the kittens, feeding them, or playing games together. But this time, even though the kittens had already rubbed against the goddess’s feet, constantly meowing cutely, the goddess didn’t pay attention to them. Instead, she uncharacteristically stared at the empty wall not far away.

It seemed that her consciousness had been attracted by something else.

Being attracted was one thing, but why was the goddess’s face so flushed?

What was going on?

Staring at the goddess’s face, which was as red as a ripe apple, and her pure white pupils filled with curiosity, driven by confusion, Tania cautiously stepped forward, wanting to understand the situation.

"Goddess, what’s wrong with you?"

As these words entered her ears, the short-haired girl’s consciousness seemed to return to her body from a wandering state.

However, the goddess didn’t reply to Tania’s words. Instead, she blinked and stared at Tania’s chest with an innocent gaze. She even curiously raised her hand to grab and knead it.

There was no lust, no obscene thoughts, and it wasn’t envy or jealousy. It seemed to be pure imitation.

Kneading while recalling.

"Huh?"

Faced with this scene, Tania blinked in confusion.

What happened in the few hours I was gone?

However, Tania seemed to have no time to continue pondering this question, because at this moment, she suddenly felt a familiar aura fluctuation.

"Wait a moment, Goddess. I’ll be right back."

After respectfully pushing the goddess’s "perverted hand" away from her chest, Tania quickly walked out of the room.

After easily sealing the room and activating the barrier that blocked perception, a strange faint golden light also rippled around Tania’s body.

Surrounded by this light, the beautiful woman with golden hair instantly transformed into a middle-aged gray-haired man who looked somewhat haggard. Appearance, aura, and temperament all underwent earth-shattering changes in an instant.

If one hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t have associated the previous beautiful woman with the current man whose spirit seemed a bit listless. However,

Although he looked spiritually listless, Zuoben’s eyes were always sharp, carrying a hint of bone-chilling coldness.

The next moment, under the gaze of this cold look, the originally empty courtyard suddenly rippled with layers of silver energy lotuses. Surrounded by silver light, a golden-haired man suddenly descended into the courtyard.

Feeling the familiar holy magic fluctuations and seeing the familiar face, Zuoben’s eyes narrowed slightly:

"Luca?"

That’s right. The one who arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion through the emergency teleportation magic at this moment was none other than the Six Wings of the Church Nation, the eighth-level powerhouse known as the "Wing of Justice" - Luca.

However, this man, who had always been a suave and extraordinary handsome character in the past, now looked exceptionally disheveled and wretched. His clothes were tattered and barely covered his body, to the point that it could be considered somewhat indecent. Not only that, but Luca’s entire body was covered with all kinds of hideous and terrifying wounds, with blood constantly flowing out. Some wounds had even festered and looked extremely disgusting.

Although the eighth-level Luca possessed extraordinary healing abilities, these wounds seemed to be cursed and showed no signs of healing. Instead, they brought Luca unbearable pain, causing his face to be filled with a pained and ferocious expression as he constantly panted.

Even so, Luca still endured the pain and respectfully lowered his head.

"Greetings, Prime Minister."

"You failed?"

Zuoben asked coldly.

However, in fact, even without Luca’s personal reply, Zuoben had already reached a conclusion. If this Church Nation’s Wing, who had always been proud, self-respecting, and valued honor, had completed the plan, he would have definitely come before him in high spirits to claim credit, not remain silent like now. Moreover, judging from his physical condition, he didn’t look like someone who had achieved victory.

The reality was indeed so. Upon hearing the disappointment in Zuoben’s tone, Luca immediately knelt on the ground and slammed his head against the floor.

"I’m very sorry! Prime Minister, I... I failed to complete the mission!"

Luca’s voice was filled with guilt, unwillingness, and an indescribable resentment.

Zuoben also found this result somewhat unacceptable. His hands couldn’t help but clench tightly into fists, and he unprecedentedly kicked Luca’s head!

Boom!!

Accompanied by a loud bang, this Church Nation’s Wing, covered in wounds, was sent flying and crashed into the wall not far away. As he slid down from the wall, a mouthful of blood involuntarily spewed out.

"Useless!"

Zuoben stomped on the ground in a fit of rage, creating a large pit.

In fact, Zuoben was already in a bad mood.

Upon learning that Westville’s soul stone had shattered, Zuoben felt a wave of disappointment. The shattering of the soul stone meant that the wing she sent to kill the sword demon had died in battle. He had failed to defeat the Sword Demon Pierre in Wisteria.

However, Zuoben could reluctantly accept this. After all, he was up against the current strongest Demon King-level Abyssal Demon. No one knew how many hidden tricks the Sword Demon still had.

Zuoben grudgingly accepted his death in battle.

But Luca’s side was different!

His opponents were just two of the weaker existences among the Demon Kings!

Even with thorough preparations, he still lost?!

This undoubtedly made Zuoben furious!

"Despite making so many preparations, you still failed? I’m very disappointed in you. You couldn’t even defeat Snow Devourer and Death Wing? Is this how you repay the favor bestowed upon you by the goddess?!"

"I-I’m very sorry! Prime Minister!"

Enduring the pain, Luca kept slamming his head on the ground.

"Prime Minister, please listen to my explanation! I did defeat Snow Devourer and Death Wing! But... but when I was about to end the battle and cut off their heads, there... there was a strange woman who blocked me!"

"A strange woman?"

"Yes! Yes! I... I don’t know who she is. I’ve never seen her before. The only distinguishing feature is that she has a pair of star pupils!"

"Star pupils? Is this woman very strong?"

"This... this subordinate doesn’t know. She... she didn’t seem very strong based on perception."

"Not strong? Not strong but still able to stop you?"

"But... but she was very strange!! Her attacks were very strange! She hit me once, and then that... that kind of pain was really... really, too... too terrifying!"

As if recalling something horrifying, Luca tremblingly raised his hands to hold his head, his eyes quivering, and his entire body shivering.

"After being hit once, my... my consciousness became... became blurry?! Moreover, that kind of pain was completely unbearable! It hurt so much that I couldn’t concentrate! Then... then Snow Devourer and Death Wing took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on me, and then... then I..."

Luca didn’t continue speaking. Instead, due to unwillingness and fear, he pressed his head hard against the ground.

His eyes were filled with regretful emotions.

If he had been more vigilant of that star-pupiled girl and hadn’t been hit by her, perhaps... he wouldn’t have ended up like this...

Damn it...

At this moment, he, who had always valued dignity and honor, really had no face to look at Zuoben. He could only kowtow in silence, waiting for the reprimand from the Prime Minister.

Zuoben, who was opposite him, also fell into silence at this moment. His face was frighteningly gloomy. There was even a faint black aura emanating from him.

A star-pupiled girl?

There didn’t seem to be such a person among the Blackrose family and other Abyssal Demon forces.

Where did this girl come from?
