Volume 2, Chapter 102 – Aftermath Management

Like many servants of the Duke Family who had no time to evacuate, Pelochi had hidden in the underground shelter of the Duke Family to avoid the people from the Divine Punishment Holy Church, especially that powerful Cult Leader. He desperately sought help from the outside world. Although the shelter was protected by a barrier, the terrifying explosion of power on the surface just now still seeped through the barrier, giving everyone an unprecedented sense of pressure.

Most of the servants with insufficient strength were directly knocked unconscious by the shock and fell to the ground. However, compared to these servants, Pelochi was a royal attendant with powerful sixth tier strength, and by using the magic tools given to him by the Crown Prince, he managed to remain conscious.

However, don’t ask why a powerhouse like Pelochi did not go out to fight the people of the Divine Punishment Holy Church from the beginning. If you must know, he had to report important intelligence to the royal family and could not simply die on the battlefield. Besides, why should he die to protect the barbarians of the Northern Frontier?

Even though he did not faint, the terrifying eruption of aura outside still made Pelochi tremble. However, just now, Pelochi was surprised to find that the aura outside had stabilized, and those terrifying energies along with the killing intent that filled them had completely vanished…

Thus, Pelochi slowly crawled out of the shelter, attempting to understand the situation outside.

Having reached the surface, Pelochi observed his surroundings for a moment before quickly focusing his attention on the black-haired girl not far away. The girl’s stunning beauty caused Pelochi to daze for a few seconds. However, what most shocked and bewildered Pelochi were the blood-colored butterflies surrounding the girl as well as the faint presence of Shadow Essence…

‘She…?! She is an Abyssal Demon?! A humanoid Abyssal Demon?! This… my god?!’

Moreover, she seemed to be looking after the Chosen Maiden. Was there some mistake? The Crown Prince had once told him that the aura on the Chosen Maiden and the Chosen Son was the scent that Abyssal Demons loathed most. Once they saw them, an Abyssal Demon would attack without hesitation and would even become more berserk and bloodthirsty because of it.

Yet now, such an Abyssal Demon was actually looking after the Chosen Maiden? Was His Highness the Crown Prince mistaken, or was Pelochi blind? Furthermore, why would such a demon king tier existence appear here? Also, why did there seem to be another powerful Abyssal Demon aura in the air?

Countless questions flooded Pelochi’s mind, but he did not have the time to figure them out.

What he wanted to do most right now was to pass the information about this humanoid Abyssal Demon to the Crown Prince. Consequently, Pelochi took out the thing called a ‘smartphone’ given to him by the Crown Prince from his spatial ring, turned on the ‘camera’ function, and aimed it at that peerless black-haired girl.

Click!

The recording was complete. Done, as for what comes next… Pelochi hid back behind the remains of a building and began to operate the ‘smartphone’ according to the method the Crown Prince had taught him.

Right at that moment, Pelochi’s brow suddenly furrowed as a powerful aura unexpectedly entered his sensory range. In the next instant, a cute but incredibly cold voice suddenly reached Pelochi’s ears.

“You have come to a place you should not have, and you have seen a scene you should not have seen~”

Hearing this, Pelochi suddenly trembled all over and gripped the ‘smartphone’ tightly, hurriedly looking up to his left. “You?! Who are you?!”

He saw a petite figure draped in a black robe and wearing skirt armor with a black rose emblem standing beside him at some unknown point in time. The girl had charming pink-white gradient long hair with a few strands hanging by her face to add a touch of gentleness. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her orange-yellow eyes were clear and bright like autumn water, shining like stars. Combined with her seemingly soft and chubby little face, she was quite lovable.

Undoubtedly, the girl was very cute and charming. “You… you are someone from the Blackrose Family? That Qiu Mingtong?”

Seeing that the newcomer was human, Pelochi involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. However, before he could relax for long, the royal attendant’s brow tightly furrowed again. He looked at the pink-haired girl with an incredibly vigilant gaze because Pelochi was surprised to find that the girl’s expression was so cold it made his spine go chilly. Furthermore, why was this person holding a weapon, and at that position…

“What do you want to do?!” Sensing something was wrong, Pelochi slowly mobilized the battle aura within his body and spoke to question her, attempting to stall for time to prepare for a quick withdrawal. “I am an envoy of the Snownight Empire’s royal family, I advise you not to… huh?!”

However, before Pelochi could finish his words, the heavy hammer in Qiu Mingtong’s hand swung directly at his face without any warning. The speed was so fast that he had no way to retreat.

“Hey! Wait-“

Boom!!

Accompanying a loud explosion, the ground shook violently as pale pink battle aura erupted. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere draping a layer of crimson gauze over the ruins of this place. Pelochi was smashed into a meat patty by Qiu Mingtong’s single hammer strike, leaving not even a trace of his human form behind.

‘When facing an enemy, do not chatter, just act. Talking too much gives others an opportunity.’

Qiu Mingtong deeply agreed with the words the Duke had once told them. After pulling back her heavy hammer, Qiu Mingtong glanced coldly at the pool of mush on the ground. ‘You saw what you should not have, and you still wanted to live?’

However, just after she finished grumbling in her heart, Qiu Mingtong’s brow slightly furrowed. ‘What is this again?’

She slowly crouched down and picked up the black rectangular thing by Pelochi’s hand that had been shattered by her battle aura. A hint of doubt surfaced in Qiu Mingtong’s heart.

Not far away, after temporarily letting Wilt go, Yumo returned to the ground. There was no longer any need for her to take further action against Wilt. Having consumed so many Blood Soul Pills, his blood had been completely contaminated by Shadow Essence. Although he had gained extremely powerful strength in the short term, he basically could not escape the fate of death.

There was no need for Yumo to do it herself. It was better to leave a mark on him and see where the headquarters of the Divine Punishment Holy Church was located. Perhaps she could even figure out who the so-called ‘Child of God’ really was…

Of course, all of that had to wait for the feedback from the tracking magic stone. For now, she would first see how this girl was doing.

Yumo hurriedly returned to Mengxi’s side and without a word, she raised her hand to disperse the Shadow Essence wrapped around Mengxi. Seeing that the other party had not been affected by Wilt’s attack, Yumo let out a sigh of relief. However, Yumo soon showed a pained expression again.

After sensing her condition, she discovered that the number of wounds on Mengxi’s body was high enough to be hair-raising. There were those caused by Wilt, those caused by Yuan’er, and those caused by the overload of divine power… The petite body soaked in blood was a shocking sight.

Although Yumo knew very well that everything Mengxi was experiencing was a necessary path to becoming stronger, that it is difficult to become a truly powerful person without having fought strong enemies or experienced life-and-death trials. Yumo still felt a sense of pity after understanding Mengxi’s physical condition. Her crimson eyes were full of conflicted emotions.

It felt as though such a cute, kind, and beautiful girl should be placed at home to be cherished, rather than being sent to a battlefield to become such a bloody mess.

‘Sigh…’

Yumo could not help but sigh. Although she was reluctant, she also knew very well that all of this would not stop until she herself was eliminated.

Just then, a petite pink figure wrapped in a burst of battle aura jumped directly from the nearby ruins to land in front of Yumo. The newcomer was none other than Miss Qiu Mingtong of the Blackrose Family.

“Is it settled?” Yumo asked slowly.

“Yes, Lady Yumo, there are no other witnesses,” Qiu Mingtong knelt on one knee and replied respectfully.

At this, Yumo nodded slightly in satisfaction. “Mm, that is good. After all, I do not want too many people to know about this form yet…”

As she spoke, Yumo looked thoughtfully at the members of the Divine Punishment Holy Church nearby who had been taken down by the sleep powder and touched her own face. Really, how did her veil get blown away?

“Leave those people for you to handle. Additionally, you do not need to act anymore. Get serious and resolve the remaining people from the Divine Punishment Holy Church in the city. It is time for this disturbance to end.”

“Understood, Lady Yumo.”

After responding respectfully, Qiu Mingtong immediately fired a signal flare into the sky. Upon seeing the light flashing in the sky, those members of the Blackrose Family within Windward City who had been watching the show with ‘grinning faces’ suddenly restrained their smiles and revealed solemn expressions filled with killing intent.
