Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 983: The Call

2/2

To cut off any possible support for Tania, after Asar led part of Sky City’s forces into Vinati, they immediately joined up with Black Rose family members lying in ambush within the Holy Capital.

Working from both inside and outside, they directly activated the teleportation arrays within Vinati, transporting the Abyssal Demon horde from the distant Winter Forest to the capital city.

With the appearance of the Abyssal Demon horde, the entire Holy Capital inevitably fell into chaos. Roars, explosions, and screams rose and fell endlessly. Whether city guards, Holy Knights, or hidden powerhouses within the Church Nation’s capital, all encountered attacks from the Abyssal Demon horde without exception.

Although the strength of Asumos Church believers who activated silver wings after receiving the Goddess’s blessing increased greatly, they still seemed somewhat inadequate when facing a group of ’Devourers’ specialized in hunting holy energy users.

Soon, the Church Nation’s legions within Vinati fell into a bitter battle.

These Holy Knights were already overwhelmed, naturally having no time to respond to Tania’s summons for assistance.

Tania was not foolish; she quickly guessed the reason for Vinati’s current chaos.

She couldn’t help but regret cooperating with Asar.

As she sensed one powerful Church figure after another falling in battle within her perception field, Tania’s already rock-bottom emotions plummeted further, falling towards hell. When she realized that another Church Wing, Basarion, had also fallen in battle, Tania couldn’t help but give Asar her most sincere "greetings."

"Chosen One, I wil f@king #!@#!@!!@$!... When my Goddess returns, I’ll definitely have you cut into a thousand pieces, you stinking wh**!!..."

However, just as Tania was cursing Asar incessantly, Xiao’s words drifted into her ears.

"Rather than thinking about those unrealistic things, why not consider how to deal with the crisis before you? Facing me, you’d better focus a bit more. Otherwise..."

?!!

As these words entered her ears, Tania’s body suddenly trembled, an ominous feeling suddenly rushing to her heart.

Her feeling was verified in the next second.

"Not good!"

In the next instant, dozens of magic light beams fired by Tania were all avoided by Xiao in a bizarre posture. Xiao himself, surrounded by black magical energy, suddenly narrowed his eyes, the tightly wound muscles all over his body bursting forth with overwhelming power in this moment!

Tania was undoubtedly momentarily distracted while cursing Asar.

Distraction meant her movements showed flaws.

In battles between eighth-levels, any flaw could lead to ultimate defeat.

Especially when facing Xiao, one who never missed exploiting flaws.

--"Death Spear of the End" --

As magical power rapidly swelled and erupted, the magic spear enveloped in black light was suddenly thrown by Xiao! The magic spear emitted a ferocious howl like ghosts and gods wailing, carrying an overwhelming momentum capable of piercing stars as it rushed towards Tania.

In an instant! A black light flashed across the sky, shattering the golden magic light beams everywhere! Not only were Tania’s attacks neutralized, but her three holy shields protecting her body also shattered like fragile glass under the black light’s attack, without any resistance.

"SWOOSH!!"

Accompanied by the collapse of the golden holy energy and the woman’s blood splattering, Tania, unable to defend in time, had her abdomen directly pierced by Xiao’s attack. The power emanating from the magic spear instantly stunned Tania. After staggering in the air for a few seconds, she inevitably fell to the ground.

"BOOM"

"Cough cough cough!!"

Several seconds later, Tania struggled to stand up from the ground while violently coughing blood.

After hundreds of rounds of fierce battle, Tania was already at her limit. Now, with her abdomen pierced by the magic spear, it was injury upon injury, to the extent that the holy energy around Tania began to collapse, her whole body staggering as if a gentle breeze could blow her over.

However, even so, Tania endured the pain, forcefully supporting her weakened body, suddenly swinging her sword to cut at her own body.

Xiao’s goal was to use the magic spear to erode her consciousness and control her.

Therefore, without hesitation, Tania used her sword to forcibly cut out a large chunk of flesh from where the magic spear had pierced her abdomen and around the wound! In an instant, a large, horrific bloody hole appeared on the side of the girl’s abdomen, with blood and even internal organs constantly spilling out. Blood immediately dyed the girl’s skirt red and turned the ground crimson.

Even so, Tania still gritted her teeth, not letting out even the slightest cry of pain, although her face was already contorted with pain from the magic spear’s erosion and the self-inflicted wound.

"Not bad, your will is quite strong."

Xiao, slowly descending from the sky, praised generously.

"Most people would have probably fainted from the pain of erosion. You’re the second person who can remain conscious after taking this attack."

In response to Xiao’s words, the trembling Tania glanced at him disdainfully:

"Before freeing our world… how could I possibly fall?"

"Is that so?"

Coldly snorting, Xiao slowly raised his hand.

The magic spear he had thrown earlier instantly returned to Xiao’s hand, surrounded by black light. The power plundered from piercing Tania’s body was now directly fed back to Xiao by the magic spear, further enhancing his aura. Undoubtedly, the power gap between Xiao and Tania had become even more disparate.

Raising the magic spear in his hand, pointing its tip at Tania’s brow, Xiao calmly said:

"Since you’re unwilling to fall on your own, let me help you. But don’t worry, I won’t kill you for now, you still have some use."

"Hehe, use... you want to use me to control the Goddess, right?"

"Goddess? Oh right... that’s what you call that thing."

"Th-thing?"

Seemingly feeling greatly insulted, Tania unconsciously gripped her sword tighter,

"Don’t think you’ve already won... My Goddess will save me."

"Don’t count on it. Before she comes to save you, you’ll already be under my control."

"wHAT?"

Tania’s brow furrowed slightly, saying with some sudden realization:

"It seems those two little Demon Kings in the North were bait?"

"You’ve only realized that now?"

"To even deceive your own people? You’re really ruthless."

"For the sake of ultimate victory, what’s wrong with deceiving one’s own people?"

After disdainfully responding, Xiao, having finished power replenishment, no longer wanted to waste words with her. He directly transformed into a black light, crossing space with overwhelming momentum, instantly rushing in front of Tania, and once again thrusting the magic spear towards her!

"It’s over, Tania-Velin."

Compared to before, Tania was already in a state of complete exhaustion, her holy energy depleted, her body riddled with wounds. Xiao, on the other hand, maintained his peak state under the enhancement of the magic spear, growing stronger as the battle progressed. The violent black magical energy aura directly overwhelmed the golden holy energy with an unstoppable momentum. In this black magical vortex, Tania was like an insignificant little boat in a storm, completely unable to contend with the wind and rain.

The outcome of this clash was already clear.

However, even knowing that her soul might be devoured by the magic spear in the next second, her consciousness stripped away to become a puppet, Tania still maintained her composure, her eyes showing not the slightest fear, and even... a trace of contempt gradually overflowed from the depths of her eyes. She calmly watched as the magic spear rapidly enlarged in her vision.

Indeed, if the Goddess were really in the North, she might not be able to save me.

But, Xiao Black Rose.

For all your calculations, you’ve ultimately missed one thing.

The Goddess wasn’t tricked into going to the North.

As a ghostly smile appeared, the runes on Tania’s right arm gradually emitted a strange pale light.
