Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 979: Counterattack

1/2

"Wh-what?"

Xiao’s sudden cold gaze directly caused Zuoben’s expression to change drastically. A look of panic instantly appeared on his brow.

No, this is bad!!

Guided by a strong sense of crisis, Zuoben immediately released his grip on Xiao’s head and violently retreated backward!

As it turned out, Zuoben’s judgment was correct.

Unfortunately, his movement speed was still slightly too slow.

Just as he leaped backward, space cracked, and a pitch-black spear suddenly broke through, fiercely thrusting towards Zuoben!

Although Zuoben avoided it in time, his left arm was still torn to shreds by the terrifying energy fluctuations.

"Damn it."

Gazing at the black-haired man in front of him, Zuoben bit his lip with slight gravity.

"This guy, just what..."

At this moment, under the bewildered gaze of Zuoben and Haiying, Xiao Black Rose, who was just on the brink of death, was suddenly enveloped by an emerald light of life.

Under the healing light, Xiao’s wounds were completely healed, his depleted life force returned to its peak, and his magic power was likewise restored.

In just an instant, standing before Zuoben was no longer a weak person at his mercy, but an absolute powerhouse who had recovered to peak eighth-level strength!

After completing his recovery, Xiao turned his sharp gaze, filled with killing intent, towards Zuoben.

"The game should end now, Miss Tania."

As the words fell, Xiao tightly gripped the black magic spear in his hand.

A vast amount of magic power was instantly injected into it.

Fed by Xiao’s enormous power, an eerie black magical energy soon overflowed from the magical black spear. Under the influence of this energy, Xiao’s magic power gradually changed from grayish-white to a fearsome, abyssal black.

Not only did his aura become incredibly deep and eerie, but his momentum also rose sharply.

In an instant, the Prime Minister’s residence was enveloped by this oppressive magical power, as gloomy as the abyss.

Moreover, Infected by the black magical energy, Xiao’s appearance also gradually changed. His short black hair, like ink, gradually transformed into waist-length grayish-white hair, and his pure black eyes slowly turned light blue. His tattered clothes were replaced by black soft armor formed by magical power, directly transforming Xiao from a refugee image into a valiant warrior.

Without a doubt, When facing Zuoben, the behind-the-scenes manipulator Xiao had no intention of holding back from the start. He directly assimilated with the magic spear, activating his most powerful battle mode.

As the turbulence of the black magical power gradually calmed, the magic spear slowly stabilized. Countless barbs and blades appeared on the spear’s body, making it increasingly ferocious and terrifying. The deep blue gem at the top of the magic spear, after a twist, transformed into a deep eye.

This eye’s gaze suddenly locked onto Zuoben, directly causing the latter to feel a chill down his spine.

"This, what is this?!"

Zuoben couldn’t help but clench his teeth.

However, At this moment, Zuoben had no time to ponder this question, and similarly, Xiao wasn’t like those villainous boss characters Yumo expected who liked to explain everything voluntarily.

Taking advantage of the other’s bewilderment, Xiao, after releasing his power, surrounded by black light, transformed into a meteor of death. With lightning speed, he evaded Zuoben’s perception field and suddenly rushed in front of this Prime Minister of the Church Nation. The next moment, the magic spear, emitting a ferocious roar, thrust towards Zuoben’s abdomen with chilling killing intent.

BOOOOOM!!!

Accompanied by a surge of energy, Zuoben was violently blown backward, smashing a nearby rockery into pieces.

Hmph,

Good reaction...

Seeing his attack fail, a trace of gravity flashed in Xiao’s eyes.

At the same time, Xiao was somewhat impressed by the other’s reaction ability.

Under normal circumstances, faced with his unexpected sneak attack, an ordinary person would likely have their abdomen easily pierced by the magic spear and be eroded by its power. But this Prime Minister of the Church Nation actually instinctively released the holy energy within his body at the critical moment, avoiding Xiao’s attack by blasting himself away.

"As expected of the Prime Minister, not bad reflexes."

Xiao said coldly, looking towards the shattered rockery in the distance. Having failed to land a hit, Xiao’s mood was obviously not good.

The next moment, Under Xiao’s cold gaze, Zuoben slowly crawled out from the ruins.

Hmm,

Perhaps it’s no longer appropriate to call him ’Zuoben’ now. Although the Prime Minister of the Church Nation wasn’t pierced by the magic spear, the violently released power of the spear still inflicted considerable damage. Under the impact of the magic spear’s power, the Prime Minister’s disguise was directly dispelled. The image of the always listless gray-haired man suddenly vanished, replaced by a beautiful blonde woman with green eyes emerging from the ruins.

Looking at this blonde lady, Xiao spoke contemptuously:

"This form looks a bit better, don’t you think? Prime Minister? Ah, no... I should call you the First Apostle, Miss Tania, to be more accurate."

Faced with these words, Tania, covering the wound on her abdomen, couldn’t help but frown.

This guy, This tone,

It seems he’s known my true identity for a long time... And, suddenly recovering and launching an attack on me?

Quickly, Tania roughly guessed the course of events, and her gaze, filled with killing intent and coldness, immediately shifted to the white-haired girl not far behind Xiao, looking at her partner of many years.

"Asar, you betrayed me?! I trusted you so much! How could you betray me?!!"

A black aura uncontrollably leaked from Tania’s eyes.

If looks could kill, Asar would undoubtedly have been stabbed a thousand times by Tania.

On the other side, In response to Tania’s accusatory words, Asar blinked and immediately waved her hand, putting on an innocent expression:

"Miss Tania, you, you shouldn’t say such things! I, I’ve always been on the Duke’s side, how can you say I betrayed you?"

Saying this, Asar scurried over to Xiao’s side, as if seeking credit, hooking her arm with his and saying smugly:

"Right, My Lord?"

At this moment, Asar’s gaze towards Xiao was inadvertently filled with admiration.

As expected of the Duke!

To avoid detection and infiltrate the Holy Capital Vinati, and launch a surprise attack on Tania, the Duke actually deliberately injured himself, even intentionally taking a hit from the Divine Cannon, just to deceive Tania’s senses. And when Tania approached, he activated the ’Tear of Nature’ and ’Dragon Crystal Liquid’ within his body, instantly recovering to his prime, and launching an attack on Tania.

Such a bold plan, truly worthy of the Duke!

Feeling the sparkling gaze from the side, Xiao couldn’t help but glance at Asar, reprimanding her impatiently:

"It’s not over yet, be serious."

"My apologize, Lord Duke!"

Watching the scene of their dialogue, Tania’s heart was in turmoil.

That bastard Asar has always been on Xiao’s side?!

This guy has been deceiving me for so many years?!

Damn it!!

Doesn’t this mean that the Black Rose family has known about many things for a long time?! Haven’t I been like a clown, putting on a show right under their noses?!

At this moment, Tania couldn’t help but clench her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. An unprecedented feeling of anger began to surge in her heart.

"Asar, you..."

Staring intently at the white-haired girl’s face, Tania spoke with murderous intent:

"You will pay for your foolishness!"

"Oh my~"

To this, Asar still waved her hand dismissively,

"Don’t worry about my affairs, Miss Tania. You, you should worry about yourself~"

As Asar’s words fell, Xiao, having completed his power restoration, had no intention of giving Tania time to catch her breath. He once again transformed into a black light, thrusting his spear towards Tania’s abdomen.....

Xiao’s goal was simple and clear.

That was to defeat and control Tania now that she had lost the protection of the Demon Goddess! Then use her soul contract with the Demon Goddess to restrain that monster!
