Volume 2, Chapter 92 – Whispers Within a Dream

‘Wait, what?!’

‘This is-?!’

‘Not good!!’

In the instant Yuan’er’s icy gaze locked onto him, Wilt sensed a dire threat and hurriedly mobilized his magic power in an attempt to defend himself. However, it was already too late; the moment Wilt stirred his magic power, Yuan’er’s attention shifted onto him.

While Yuan’er detested Mengxi for possessing divine power, she was equally displeased by Wilt, whose body held a vast reserve of magic power and whose strength had reached the eighth tier.

As Wilt gathered his strength, Yuan’er instinctively sensed a trace of danger, even though Wilt’s target was not her.

In the next instant, a cold flash erupted from Yuan’er’s heterochromatic eyes. The girl suddenly opened her mouth and the Shadow Essence that had already been congregating within her body howled forth, venting her fury toward the Divine Punishment Cult Leader.

In a flash, black light surged.

The Annihilation Cannon, formed from condensed black Shadow Essence, was unleashed from Yuan’er’s mouth at an unexpected speed. It tore through the air with unstoppable momentum as it surged toward Wilt. Wilt was completely caught off guard by Yuan’er’s attack; before he could even set up an effective defense, the Annihilation Cannon, brimming with the power of destruction, rapidly expanded in his vision.

‘Sh*t!!’

With an unwilling roar, the Annihilation Cannon struck Wilt dead center.

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by a world-shaking boom, the black light rampaged as the protective magic surrounding Wilt instantly crumbled. Then, the black laser inflicted its master’s tyrannical intent fully upon Wilt’s abdomen.

Abruptly, blood splattered everywhere. A hole was forcibly blasted into Wilt’s abdomen by the surging Annihilation Cannon as the residual power of the black light shot straight into the clouds. A terrifying pressure suddenly radiated in all directions.

The Northern Frontier armies rushing to reinforce Windward City couldn’t help but feel a chill run through their bodies the moment they saw that soaring black light.

As the black laser dissipated, Wilt spat out a mouthful of blood. With eyes full of shock and resentment, he was sent flying backward by the overwhelming force of the Annihilation Cannon, tracing a graceful scarlet parabola in the sky before crashing miserably toward the outskirts of the city.

On the other side, Miss Mengxi’s eyes were also filled with astonishment as she watched the Cult Leader of Heaven’s Judgment get blindsided by Yuan’er’s strike and fall from the sky half-dead.

‘This girl, what is going on with her…’

Yuan’er.

Was she the young miss of the Duke Family?

Why, why was it the Duke Family again? The little girl Yumo had transformed into was from the Duke Family, and now this girl who had turned into a demon king tier existence was also from the Duke Family?

Could there really be such a coincidence?

Could it be that the seemingly innocent and easily fooled Sister Yumo was secretly carrying out some grand plan?

Countless questions surfaced in Mengxi’s mind. Yet, perhaps it was a young girl’s sixth sense, but as she watched the rampaging black radiance and the frenzied pink-haired girl enveloped within it, Mengxi felt that Yuan’er becoming a demon king tier Abyssal Demon was definitely inseparable from Sister Yumo.

However, Mengxi had no energy left to delve deeper into that question.

As Wilt was blown away, Mengxi discovered with a hint of terror that Yuan’er’s gaze had locked onto her once again.

‘Damn it…’

In this moment, Mengxi couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Exactly as Mengxi had predicted, Yuan’er transformed back into a streak of black light, churning up endless Shadow Essence as she swept toward her with an overwhelming aura. The horrifying pressure rushing at her made Mengxi hold her breath as her golden and purple eyes filled with solemnity.

Now, the blessing of divine power was about to reach its limit, making this Mengxi’s only chance to contend with Yuan’er.

At this thought, Mengxi gripped her longsword tightly.

Almost all the divine power in her body was continuously channeled into the sword at this moment. Instantly, ripples of golden light radiated from the blade as a dense aura of slaughter was released.

Although Mengxi was completely suppressed in terms of presence, she was not without a chance of victory thanks to divine power’s specialized effectiveness against Abyssal Demons.

Steadying the trepidation in her heart, Mengxi entered a state of complete calm, focusing intently on the incoming black light and tracking every movement of the pink-haired girl.

The more one faced a crisis, the more one needed to remain calm.

Though Yuan’er’s aura was ferocious, she seemed to lack necessary combat techniques, charging ahead like a reckless brute with a predictable offensive path.

In the next moment, the silver-haired girl seized her opportunity as her heterochromatic eyes constricted.

The longsword enveloped in golden light swung out, slashing directly at Yuan’er.

However, facing an attack imbued with divine power, Yuan’er showed no signs of stopping her charge. She didn’t even make a move to defend, slamming directly into Mengxi’s blade. This filled Mengxi with great confusion, but at this stage, she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and slash down with all her might.

In an instant, golden light radiated across the sky.

Flanked by divine power, the precious sword sliced right through Yuan’er’s petite frame.

‘Wait, what is this?!’

However, Mengxi soon discovered to her surprise that the scene she imagined of Yuan’er being heavily wounded did not occur. Indeed, her blade wrapped in golden holy light had passed through Yuan’er’s waist, and Yuan’er had indeed been split in two.

Yet, there was not a trace of blood at the wound on the pink-haired girl. Where the waist had been severed, there was only a mass of eerie black light. The pink-haired girl’s pretty yet demonic face showed no expression of pain as if she couldn’t feel it at all.

In the next instant, under Mengxi’s astonished gaze, Yuan’er’s bifurcated body merged back into one as the black light at the severance point fused. Not a single mark of injury could be seen on the smooth skin of her lower abdomen.

‘Her body has undergone elementalization?!’

Before Mengxi could even voice her shock, Yuan’er’s counterattack arrived.

As if returning the favor, a fist enveloped in black light smashed toward Mengxi’s abdomen. Although Mengxi managed to pull back her sword in time to block, she still couldn’t avoid being heavily struck.

“Crack!!”

The violent Shadow Essence once again clashed with the brilliant Light of Divinity. Under the flickering black light, the golden radiance suddenly shattered.

With a crisp ‘crack’, the divine power on Mengxi’s sword collapsed and the blade snapped. Without the resistance of the weapon, Yuan’er’s fist drove straight through, striking Mengxi’s abdomen and breaching her Protective Golden Light without fail.

The powerful impact sent Mengxi soaring into the sky as intense pain flooded the silver-haired girl’s mind and blood sprayed uncontrollably from her mouth.

Furthermore, what made the situation even worse for Mengxi was that following the failure of her final strike and taking Yuan’er’s punch, the divine power on her body abruptly vanished. Her strength plummeted from the peak of the seventh tier back to the middle of the sixth tier. Facing an eighth tier demon king as a sixth tier was undoubtedly a death sentence.

The dissipation of Mengxi’s power did not make Yuan’er stop her attack.

Guided by instinct, Yuan’er had already identified Mengxi as a target that must be killed.

The moment Mengxi was sent flying, the black Shadow Essence suddenly transformed into pitch-black wings, causing Yuan’er’s speed to skyrocket. At a speed invisible to the naked eye, she appeared above Mengxi in an instant.

At the same time, the words that had been echoing in her mind within the dream seemed to ring out again.

‘Those who possess divine power are our enemies! We must kill her!’

As the voice echoed in her head, Yuan’er’s small mouth opened slightly.

“Must… kill… kill with everything…”

As soon as she spoke, black energy surged wildly from Yuan’er’s body like a beast breaking its chains.

The pink-haired girl suddenly raised both hands as endless Shadow Essence gathered between them. It gradually transformed into a terrifying orb of light filled with the power to destroy the world, and this orb was still rapidly expanding. The energy contained within it was beyond measure.

If Yuan’er released this skill, not only Mengxi, but the entire Windward City below would likely be reduced to nothingness.

‘This is really bad…’

Gazing at the destructive energy about to be unleashed upon her, a mournful yet beautiful smile appeared on Mengxi’s exquisite face.

Just as Mengxi was feeling helpless, several blood-red butterflies suddenly entered the silver-haired girl’s field of vision.

‘Wait, those are…’

‘Sister Yumo’s butterflies?’
