Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 981: The Strongest Human

1/1

Haiying, possessing high eighth-level strength, had physical power surpassing ordinary Church Wings. His legs suddenly kicked off! The ground cracked instantly, and the entire city fell into tremors.

Under such powerful propulsion and the enhancement of holy energy, Haiying shot up from the ground like a bullet, instantly arriving behind Xiao, swinging his battle axe towards Xiao’s head!

"Die!! You traitor!!"

Amidst Haiying’s hoarse shout, azure holy light suddenly enveloped his battle axe, giving it the ferocious attacking power to directly break through Xiao’s defense and split him in two! Seeing the battle axe approaching Xiao’s back, while the Black Rose Duke still hadn’t turned around, Haiying couldn’t help but split his lips in a grin.

Only focused on the enemy in front, no time to mind what’s behind?

Hehe, I didn’t expect that Black Rose to make such a low-level mistake.

"Got him!!!"

But reality showed that one should never rejoice too soon.

Haiying was about to pass judgment when Xiao snorted coldly and with disdain. He dodged Haiying’s attack by twisting his body into an incredibly strange posture just before the battle axe was about to touch him! He then turned to face this Church Wing, who was staring at him in confusion, and swung his spear, striking Haiying’s elbow joint with the spear shaft.

The entire process was smooth and familiar, completed with lightning speed.

Haiying scowled as the blow hit his joint, and his right elbow started to become severely numb.

"Damn, my arm’s gone numb?!"

With the instant numbness in his arm, Haiying’s control over the battle axe rapidly decreased. At this moment, Xiao suddenly grabbed Haiying’s wrist, effortlessly changing the battle axe’s attack trajectory, making it directly slash towards Haiying’s body!

Puff!

Blood spattered in an instant as the battle axe sank into his chest. Haiying’s body felt the force of the strong holy energy wave immediately, and he spit up a big mouthful of blood.

"Bas-bastard... you actually..."

Haiying’s eyes were filled with confusion as he appeared unable to comprehend that he would sustain such a serious injury following only a brief exchange.

The following instant, Haiying decided without hesitation to employ more potent strength in order to immediately counterattack and cure his wounds! Holy energy started to center around the origin crystal core in his neck from every part of his body!

Haiying undoubtedly made the decision to make advantage of the formidable powers granted by the Goddess.

One round of exchange had already convinced Haiying that Xiao possessed terrifying strength beyond his imagination, not just in terms of magical power, but even more so in combat skills.

Facing such an enemy, he must go all out from the start!

"Divine Grace Bes... Hm?!!!"

However, The next instant, Haiying discovered a terrifying fact.

That is, His battle with Xiao hadn’t officially begun before it was already over.

Trembling, he lowered his head and glanced at his neck with the corner of his eye. Haiying’s eyes suddenly narrowed, filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Xiao’s magic spear had somehow pierced through his protective holy energy and directly penetrated Haiying’s neck, shattering his crystal core.

"H-how is this possible?!!"

As the hoarse voice was emitted, blood began to continuously flow from the wound and Haiying’s mouth. At the same time, fear of death and feelings of shame and self-blame for not fulfilling his mission also continuously surged in Haiying’s heart.

Feeling his life force rapidly fading, Haiying tremblingly looked towards the distance, towards the battlefield between Mengxi and Asar.

"Your, Your Majesty... for-forgive, forgive me..."

Before the words fell,

The holy energy accumulated around Haiying’s origin crystal core lost control, instantly exploding from his body!

BOOM!!

With an earth-shattering roar, a huge, brilliant blue firework bloomed in the sky. Just like that, Haiying, one of the Church’s Six Wings and a famous figure, exited the stage without even activating Divine Grace Bestowed. Thus, under Tania’s shocked gaze, Haiying, carrying feelings of unease and regret, suddenly exploded into a mist of blood.

"How, how could this happen?!!"

Tania exclaimed in disbelief.

She couldn’t understand, How could Haiying, who ranked among the top in strength among the Church Wings, be so easily defeated by Xiao?! Could it be that this guy had been hiding his strength?

On the other side,

Compared to Tania’s dumbfounded expression, Xiao himself was much calmer. Regarding Haiying being eliminated in one strike, Xiao maintained a composed face throughout, as if telling everyone that he was not at all surprised by this result.

"So it is as expected..."

Glancing to the side with the corner of his eye, Xiao muttered in an unsurprised tone.

Strictly speaking, Haiying’s raw strength was not much different from Xiao’s. If this Church Wing went all out, he would definitely be a troublesome enemy for Xiao. But in reality, Xiao easily defeated him. The reason Xiao could do this was simple.

He had obtained sufficient intelligence.

Xiao was a cautious person. If possible, he never fought battles he wasn’t sure of winning, never directly confronting unknown enemies.

After observing the battles of Seville and Pierre, as well as Scarlet and Yuan’er, Xiao quickly judged the weakness of the "Divine Grace Bestowed" ability through the wavelength of energy and the vibration amplitude of soul power. This skill indeed could greatly enhance the user’s strength for a short time, but activating this state required stimulating the Goddess’s Power contained in the origin crystal core.

And this activation process was the most vulnerable moment for these Church Wings.

When the Goddess’s Power overflows, it produces enormous energy, so when activating Divine Grace Bestowed, the Church Wings must concentrate a large amount of power around the origin crystal core to protect it from shattering and prevent nearby meridians from being shattered.

Due to the focus of attention around the crystal core, the Church Wings’ movements become sluggish.

More importantly, The origin crystal core is a person’s greatest weakness and cannot be casually exposed. Just by sensing the location where the holy energy is concentrated, one can directly detect the opponent’s weakness.

Therefore, When Xiao sensed Haiying’s weakness, he thrust out his spear, violently shattering the other’s crystal core. With the crystal core shattered, the unrestrained holy energy suddenly exploded like nuclear fission, directly turning Haiying’s body into a bloody mist, his entire soul blasted to ashes.

Of course, Even if Haiying had activated the Divine Grace Bestowed state, Xiao was still confident he could kill him instantly. After all, over the years, although he couldn’t act against the Church people, Nightingale’s spies had collected a large amount of intelligence on the fighting styles of various Church Wings. By studying this intelligence, Xiao already knew the characteristics of each Church Wing’s fighting style, their weaknesses, and the loopholes in their moves.

Once engaged in combat, Xiao could exploit these loopholes to achieve victory through unexpected means.

Just as Youlan had evaluated, Xiao, having made thorough preparations, was difficult for even her to defeat.

To say Xiao was the strongest human might not be an exaggeration.

Although Tania was shocked, she absolutely wouldn’t stand dazed and allow herself to be slaughtered. Taking advantage of the moment Xiao struck down Haiying, Tania immediately swung her dual swords, attempting to severely wound Xiao.

Unfortunately,

Xiao had already predicted Tania’s actions.

It should be known, When he was young in the Winter Forest, Xiao often practiced with that stubborn Limo. If he could figure out even her random movements, how could he not guess Tania’s thoughts?

Thus, Xiao merely sidestepped to avoid Tania’s attack, and suddenly executed a spinning kick, hitting Tania’s pretty face squarely.

BOOM!

With a loud crash, Tania suddenly fell, violently smashing a building below into ruins.

"Cough cough cough!!"

Coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, her face swollen, Tania struggled to push away the huge rocks and stood up from the ruins. Gazing at the Black Rose Duke slowly descending from the sky, Tania gritted her teeth in frustration. Her displeasure at being suddenly attacked was understandable; she was already itching to tear Xiao to pieces.

But she also knew that her strength was not enough to defeat him.

Although reluctant, Tania realistically injected holy energy into her bracelet, using the magic on the bracelet to summon all the Holy Knights in Vinati, as well as another Church Wing.

Strictly speaking, The moment she began to engage with Xiao, Tania had already done this.

It’s just...

"Why, why, until now, still, still no one has come? Where are the Holy Knight Order? ...Where’s Basarion? Where’s Coria?!"

Tania muttered incomprehensibly.

At this moment, Xiao unexpectedly gave a kind response.

"Look around, and you’ll understand."

"???"

Frowning, Tania tremblingly turned her head to look around, towards the surroundings engulfed by war and smoke... The sound of artillery, roars, and screams rose and fell, the smell of holy energy and Shadow Power intertwining in the air, coupled with the background bathed in raging fire, presenting a scene of hell.

After taking in this scene, Tania shook her head bitterly:

"It seems, it’s not just you who came."

"Hehe, isn’t that, obvious?"

Before the words fell, Xiao no longer giving the other time to catch her breath, directly flashed in front of Tania under her terrified gaze, and suddenly swung the long spear in his hand, thrusting toward her.
