Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 89 - 90

In the eastern part of the Great Winter Forest, where Yumo’s little house was located.

As the winter sun shone through the window, the darkness inside the house was driven away, welcoming the radiant glow of dawn...

At this moment, inside the house,

The adorable Mengxi was affectionately embracing a large bear plushie specially made by Yumo, lying obediently in bed. Judging from her constantly upward-curving lips, the little cutie was enjoying a delightful dream. Across from the small bed, a beautiful black-haired girl was sitting quietly on a wooden chair, her hands resting on her knees, her eyes closed.

As the sunlight fell on her exquisite face, the black-haired girl showed no reaction.

She remained seated, motionless like a statue.

This beautiful black-haired girl was, of course, our Yumo.

Though she had successfully transformed into a human through the secrets of the elf race, Yumo still retained many habits from her time as a building. One of the most ingrained was to sit motionless, like a wooden figure, silently contemplating life.

Of course, sometimes she was just daydreaming.

Wasting time...

Obviously,

Yumo was once again in building mode.

Initially,

Mengxi had relentlessly insisted that Yumo accompany her to sleep. Yumo had thought they’d just sleep, but the childlike Mengxi unexpectedly wrapped her arms around Yumo like an octopus, seemingly trying to maximize body contact.

The breathtaking sleeping beauty so close, the faint scent of jasmine, and the soft sensation from her arm all made Yumo lose control, unable to calm her mind.

An ordinary person, when embraced so intimately by such a beautiful being, would probably want to seize the moment, right?

As a result,

To avoid any accidents,

After closing her eyes and meditating for a while, making sure Mengxi was sound asleep,

Yumo replaced herself with the big bear plushie, letting Mengxi’s slender arms and round, white thighs encircle it. Yumo herself sat in a chair, quietly guarding the sleeping girl...

While guarding,

Yumo’s thoughts entered the consciousness space she constructed within her mind, beginning a contemplation just like she did in the past.

The subject of contemplation,

Mainly had to do with the recent Galros Fortress battle.

--

"Sigh~"

After carefully recalling the details of the battle at Galros Fortress, Yumo in the consciousness space couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

In this battle,

More than two thousand abyssal demons died due to the counterattacks of the Galros Fortress defenders...

More than half of them died from the magic bomb and the subsequent city barrier.

When the abyssal demons entered the city and engaged the soldiers in close combat, the battle was completely one-sided. Although the abyssal demons indeed had a numerical advantage, the combat strength of the defending soldiers was truly unsatisfactory to Yumo. Excluding those directly killed by Li Mo, these human defenders had to pay a price of about twenty people to eliminate a single abyssal demon...

It seemed like they were quite weak.

Additionally, the soldiers’ combat experience and understanding of the abyssal demons were so poor it was infuriating. For instance, when encountering a highly poisonous abyssal demon, many soldiers would foolishly charge into the range of its poisonous mist. When facing water-attribute demons, they actually used fire-attribute magic to attack?! Some demons had their weak point on their back, but the soldiers focused their attacks on the chest armor...

’Unbelievable...’

These basic facts about the abyssal demons should be well-known by the soldiers, right?!

Sigh,

Were they really too comfortable for too long?

Or maybe?

Their intelligence was wrong?

However, that seemed unlikely...

After all, they had been confronting the abyssal demons for so long...

Although the soldiers’ performance was disappointing, Yumo still found some things to be happy about.

For example, the so-called ’missile’-like purple device created by the Crown Prince of the Snow Night Empire.

Truly worthy of being the protagonist, he could actually create such a device, quite impressive~

This iron lump could kill tens of thousands of abyssal demons in one strike! To put it into perspective, Yumo hadn’t lost so many demons in all of their previous clashes combined. Although this weapon wasn’t without flaws—once the demons knew its characteristics, they could concentrate fire and shoot it down before it reached their ranks—

But this flaw wasn’t a significant problem.

Anyway, as long as Yumo did her best to let the demons not destroy the ’missile’ directly, it would surely cause considerable harm to the abyssal demons. If it could injure Li Mo, even an unprepared Li Mo, its power was undoubtedly beyond what ordinary abyssal demons could withstand.

However,

Yumo didn’t know if such an incredible device could be mass-produced...

Even if it couldn’t be mass-produced, being able to occasionally launch it would ensure the gap between humans and abyssal demons wouldn’t be so vast.

Apart from the ’missile’, Yumo was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with Bai Yanluo and the Mengxi strength. The Apostle of Heaven’s power was evident as they were able to fight against a liberated Li Mo for so long,

’The top human experts are still reliable~’

Of course,

What excited Yumo the most was the heroine strength,

Battling two Rank 6 experts at once and almost defeating them,

There was no doubt that Mengxi had a promising future.

As for why Mengxi could control the power of the Shadows, Yumo still couldn’t figure it out after studying her body...

Her body seemed just like an ordinary person...

Perhaps, the reason lay in her soul?

Yumo pondered,

But considering Mengxi’s soul was now so weak, Yumo didn’t dare risk examining it. She was afraid that the powerful Shadows’ energy might accidentally cause irreversible damage to her soul...

For now,

They would continue with the original training plan. Yumo would give Mengxi the Amos pills to accelerate her cultivation tonight, and tomorrow they would immerse her in the soul-rejuvenating liquid. By then, the childlike symptoms should also subside as her soul power recovers...

Oh,

Right, besides Mengxi’s situation,

The little girl they had saved earlier and the divine Punishment sect pills...

While Yumo was deep in thought and making plans in her consciousness, the adorable silver-haired girl on the bed furrowed her brow slightly before opening her hazy, light purple eyes,

"Sis, Sister Yumo?"

After letting out a cute, soft call, Mengxi rubbed her eyes and curiously looked at the big bear plush doll in her arms.

When she realized that the being she was holding wasn’t Yumo, the girl couldn’t help but pout. Without another word, she released the plush doll and looked towards the black-haired girl sitting in a chair, unmoving like a statue, in the room.

At this moment,

A subtle, strange expression emerged in Mengxi’s eyes,

However, it quickly vanished,

Hidden behind her innocent and lovely face.

In the next moment,

The girl, wearing a white lace strap dress, slowly crawled out of the bed, tiptoeing barefoot to Yumo’s side.

Yumo didn’t react at all. After all, Mengxi didn’t have any fluctuations of divine power or holy energy at the moment. Apart from her physical constitution, she was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person. Yumo, who was absorbed in thought in her consciousness, seemingly wouldn’t sense any non-threatening actions…

This scene,

Mengxi took note of it…

Seeing that Yumo didn’t react, Mengxi, who was quietly standing next to her, couldn’t help but grow bolder.

She slowly walked behind Yumo,

After sniffing near Yumo’s ear,

Mengxi raised her delicate arm and, without any hesitation, embraced Yumo’s neck from behind, rubbing her face affectionately against Yumo’s soft, fair cheek.

Hmm?

Due to the rubbing, Yumo emerged from her consciousness and opened her dazzling, ruby-red eyes. She then looked helplessly at the silver-haired girl with a pure smile beside her and reached out to pat her slightly messy head.

"Awake, are you?"

"Mmhm!"

Mengxi nodded repeatedly, smiling, and closed her eyes to enjoy Yumo’s touch.

The two girls quietly interacted for a while,

Until Mengxi opened her eyes again,

"Sister Yumo~"
