Abyssal Chronicles

In the sky, dense formations of dark aircraft arranged themselves in rows. Like thick storm clouds before a tempest, they gathered in overwhelming numbers—various models and flying weapons whose names Yumo couldn't identify suddenly converged, forming a heavy canopy that blocked out the sunlight and cast vast shadows below.

On the ground, elite abyss demon subjugation forces, heavy mechanical legions, and terrifying heavy artillery spread out in endless lines like a massive dragon. All manner of high-tier weapons and equipment stretched beyond count.

Alliance banners fluttered in the wind.

The Alliance army summoned by Yaohuaba was vast in number, their heavy footsteps shaking the very ground as they advanced forward.

At the same time, various models of heavy weapons and war machine lined up on the ground in formation, their cannon muzzles aimed toward the black-haired girl, ready to unleash devastating attacks at any moment.

The clamor of armies, the roar of machinery, and the mechanical sounds of various combat devices wove together into a terrifying and shrill symphony.

This massive and powerful army surged toward the black-haired girl like a silver tide, as if to devour her completely.

"Oh My~, so many people~"

Yumo pressed her finger to her lips, exclaiming with a look of amazement.

On the other side, as the army appeared, a sinister smile gradually spread across Yaohuaba's handsome face.

To eliminate the Judgment Saint and cover up his crimes from years past, Yaohuaba had gone to great lengths.

Even gathering multiple top-tier Lv9 existences still couldn't put Yaohuaba at ease. He had long ago used his privileges within the Felder Family to set up dozens of large-scale teleportation arrays, all for the moment when the Abyssal Lord appeared—to call the Alliance army to this place!

And as the great army appeared, sensing something, Yaohuaba raised his eyebrows with curiosity and looked behind him.

"Hmm, what's that?"

At this moment, under the somewhat surprised gazes of Yaohuaba and the others, the sky suddenly changed color. A sacred light screen abruptly descended from above, completely enveloping thousands of kilometers of land centered on the Felder Family estate, transforming it into an absolutely sealed space. The radiance was brilliant and dazzling, like countless rays of sunlight gathering together, illuminating the manor as bright as day. Houses, heavy cannons, warships, and the soldiers' magical armor all gleamed under the light's reflection, emanating a sacred aura.

As the light screen closed, a wondrous power immediately surged from the earth, continuously flowing into the bodies of Yaohuaba and the others.

"Oh?"

At this moment, this Sword Spirit Clan Lord couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with satisfaction.

"This is Seiyad's 'Eternal Sphere'? That guy actually made his move too?"

…

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away, a burly silver-armored knight had both hands planted in the ground, continuously channeling spiritual power into the earth to strengthen the magnificent sacred light screen ahead.

This knight, whose entire body radiated a powerful spiritual energy aura, was Seiyad, who had previously been guarding by Mengxi's side.

The magnificent screen before him was Seiyad's signature skill—the large-scale protective magic "Eternal Sphere," cast by fusing his authority power.

Within the range of spiritual power expansion, it constructed an absolutely sealed domain.

Once the Eternal Sphere was complete, unless Seiyad died or his spiritual power was exhausted, any existence locked within the Eternal Sphere could never break through this absolute enclosed space.

...

Taking a deep breath, Seiyad stared intently at the distance with a serious expression.

As a knight overflowing with a sense of justice, upon sensing the Abyssal Lord's aura, Seiyad wanted nothing more than to draw his sword and charge forth to battle.

Unfortunately, due to Mengxi's instructions, he couldn't fight alongside the other Alliance powerhouses, but instead had to open the barrier here.

At first, Seiyad was somewhat dissatisfied, but soon he understood Mengxi's approach.

The power possessed by Lv9 powerhouses was enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Although the enemy had only one Abyssal Lord, and the Alliance held an absolute numerical advantage, the Abyssal Lord was still the Abyssal Lord. Once she made a desperate counterattack, the terrifying energy produced would definitely threaten the entire Sky Nation!

Sky Nation was the region under the Saint's leadership—it absolutely could not be destroyed by being caught up in battle.

To prevent Sky Nation from being destroyed by the battle of Lv9 powerhouses, and to prevent civilians from being infected by leaked shadow power, Seiyad ultimately obediently followed Mengxi's words and hid in the distance to activate the Eternal Sphere...

The Abyssal Lord was indeed very strong. During past holy wars, examples of fighting three or five opponents alone were not uncommon, but now... only one Abyssal girl had come to Sky Nation. In Seiyad's view, even without him joining, the ten Lv9 at the venue could eliminate that Abyssal Lord.

Then, sensing the oppressive atmosphere above the Felder Family estate in the distance, Seiyad couldn't help but swallow and turned to look somewhat hesitantly at the silver figure behind him.

"Miss Mengxi, do you think they can defeat that Abyssal Lord?"

...

On the other side, Mengxi seemed completely absorbed in watching the distant battlefield, her face flushed with excitement.

"Go for it, kill them all, Sister Yumo~"

The girl muttered quietly like this.

When she heard Seiyad's words, Mengxi immediately replied matter-of-factly:

"How could they? Those trash are definitely going to die~"

"Hah?!!"

Hearing this, Seiyad's face immediately changed dramatically as he exclaimed,

"Miss, are you serious?"

"Ah, no..."

Mengxi's consciousness suddenly returned. Seemingly realizing she had said the wrong thing, she quickly stuck out her tongue and said cutely:

"Hehe, just kidding~"

"R-really?"

"Of course! Think about it—that Abyssal Lord just emerged from a trial space. Whether it's Yaohuaba or Heinotim, they're all veteran Lv9, plus there are several other Lv9 supports with decent strength, and Yaohuaba has even set up an army ambush nearby. How could they not win?"

"Uh, that's true..."

Seiyad nodded, unable to deny it.

However, looking at Mengxi's mischievous smile and recalling how Mengxi's eyes had lit up when she saw that black-haired girl appear... Seiyad's heart couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Hmmm, somehow I have a bad feeling about this.

...

On the other side, within the Felder Family manor, gazing up at the 'Eternal Sphere' dome that covered everything above, Yaohuaba smiled pleasantly.

No matter what, destroying Sky Nation wasn't the best choice after all—it would cause the Guiding Saint to be displeased with him, and at this stage... he didn't want to be enemies with that Saint.

With Seiyad's 'Eternal Sphere', he now had no worries.

Staring at the black-haired girl who still looked curious, Yaohuaba slowly lowered his body and gripped the divine sword Black Gleam in his hand. Sea-blue spiritual power gradually enveloped his body...

"Attack..."

While using mental magic to transmit action instructions to the other Lv9s and the surrounding army, Yaohuaba also directly transformed into a blue streak of light and rushed high into the sky!!

[Sword Secrets - Rise and Fall!]

Swinging the divine sword in his hand, terrifying black sword energy fused with vast spiritual power, overwhelming like a roaring bloodthirsty beast, tearing through space as it struck fiercely toward the black-haired girl!

As Yaohuaba began his attack, the massive binding formation that had long been hidden underground suddenly appeared! Combined with Vinova's sacred domain sealing technique [Lobius Chaos Shackles] in an instant, the bewildered black-haired girl was directly suppressed and forced to half-kneel on the ground. The terrifying spiritual pressure violently shattered her shadow power aura, annihilating all the bloody butterflies like massive shackles binding Yumo's body.

When Yumo's movements were restricted, Heinotim and the other Lv9 powerhouses also flashed apart, launching attacks on Yumo from all directions.

Not only that, after receiving Yaohuaba's attack signal, the surrounding army suddenly launched a fierce assault! Surging like an angry sea toward the black-haired girl's position.

Thousands upon thousands of magical constructs and mechanical puppets carrying terrifying self-destruction spells were directly teleported beside Yumo.

Heavy cannons roared from warships, magical battle groups concentrated their power to release waves of blazing flames and powerful, terrifying death lasers. Dense artillery fire poured down like a violent storm. Raging fires burned the earth, scorching flames licking at everything around them, as if to devour everything.

In an instant, the Felder Family manor with its hundred-year history was reduced to ashes. Those members of the Felder Family who couldn't escape with teleportation magic in time, along with distinguished guests from various major factions, were all swallowed by the vast energy impact in that moment.

Countless terrifying energies fused together, clashing violently before finally exploding with a thunderous roar.

BOOM!!!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, a towering mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, dyeing the heavens blood red. The massive explosion was deafening. The combined attack launched by several Lv9 and the army was tremendously fierce—if not for the barriers set by Vinova and distant Seiyad, the entire Sky Nation would likely have been destroyed.

...

Watching the center of the explosion, Yaohuaba in the sky couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"Don't say I bullied you with numbers. If you want to blame someone... blame yourself for foolishly walking into a trap."
