Volume 1, Chapter 64 – Making a Move

Cough, cough cough-

Had she lost too much blood?

Although Mengxi could barely feel any pain now, the heavy trauma to her chest and the continuous flow of blood made her body grow weaker and weaker as her vision gradually began to blur.

‘Sure enough, was it too much of a stretch?’

The girl, who had fallen into the ruins, clenched her fists with some frustration and slowly raised her head to look at the black-robed man who was rapidly approaching her with murderous intent.

Truly, she had miscalculated.

At this moment, Mengxi no longer had the strength to continue fighting. Her energy exhausted, she lay on the ground, almost unable to move. However, in this situation, facing the death god’s scythe that was about to slash her slender neck, Mengxi felt no fear in her heart.

All she felt was a deep sense of worry. She wondered if Boluo Ge and the others, along with that child, had escaped. Had they fled far enough?

If they hadn’t managed to escape, then what came next would likely be…

Recalling the innocent look the pink-haired girl gave her before they parted, Mengxi couldn’t help but bite her lip, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do now. She could only silently watch as Elbino’s attack drew closer and closer. As the cold murderous intent approached and Mengxi’s consciousness gradually blurred, an unknown purple-black energy began to slowly ripple from within the girl’s Primordial Core…

However, just as Mengxi was about to enter another extreme state, red-glowing Blood Butterflies began to fly in from all directions without warning.

With the appearance of the Blood Butterflies, a black female silhouette suddenly appeared in Mengxi’s field of vision, standing directly in front of Elbino and causing his movements to suddenly freeze.

??!

Hmm?

Who, who is that?

Looking at the mysterious girl’s beautiful black-to-red gradient hair and her graceful back, a wave of intense confusion surged in Mengxi’s heart.

‘Who… who is she?? Is she here to help me?…’

Unfortunately, Mengxi was no longer capable of thinking about this question. The appearance of the crimson butterflies also scattered some mysterious golden powder around Mengxi, and the moment she touched the powder, her consciousness uncontrollably plunged into darkness. Her pale purple eyes slowly closed at that moment.

‘This… what on earth…’

The girl unwillingly sank into a deep sleep.

As Mengxi fell into a slumber, Bai Yanluo, who was fighting the snow-white giant wolf, suddenly frowned. She seemed to have received some special message as a look of panic suddenly appeared in her azure eyes. She turned her head toward the Fort Garros in bewilderment.

‘Mengxi?!’

And in that moment of distraction, a violent roar echoed in her ears. The snow-white giant wolf’s claws, wrapped in crimson Shadow Essence, struck out with a powerful force!

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the claws ruthlessly tore through Bai Yanluo’s protective magic barrier and slammed solidly onto her back! In an instant, a mouthful of blood sprayed from Bai Yanluo’s mouth, an expression of intense pain surfacing on her beautiful face.

‘You… you damned wolf!’

On the other side, the charging Elbino suddenly trembled all over, looking at the black-haired woman who had suddenly blocked his path in disbelief! In that instant, Elbino subconsciously held his breath, his eyes staring fixedly at the girl’s face.

The girl before him was so beautiful it was terrifying.

Her beautiful hair cascaded down like a black waterfall, the tips of the strands as crimson as blood. She had curved moth-like eyebrows, a pair of crimson eyes that could captivate souls, a delicate nose, and cherry-like lips. Her flower-like oval face was as translucent as jade, and her snow-white skin was like ice. Her figure was graceful and slender, her beauty pure and otherworldly.

Aside from her chest being a bit of a disappointment, the girl who had suddenly appeared could be said to be flawless. Compared to her, the women in the Divine Punishment Holy Church seemed like nothing more than withered flowers.

‘So… so beautiful,’ Elbino couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

However, after that sigh, Elbino shook his head frantically to cast those ridiculous thoughts out of his mind! After all, the battle wasn’t over yet! This was no time for such things!

Moreover, who exactly was this girl?! How could she suddenly appear before him?!

Staring at the exquisitely beautiful black-haired girl, countless doubts spread rapidly through Elbino’s heart like a virus. Even though there were no fluctuations of energy around the girl, she gave Elbino an invisible sense of pressure. After locking eyes with her crimson gaze, Elbino’s soul couldn’t help but tremble.

Under normal circumstances, stopping to observe such a sudden and strange presence would be the wise move.

But right now, as the effects of the Blood Soul Pill continued to wane, the life force within Elbino began to dissipate at high speed, and his soul was on the verge of collapsing. He had no time for further observation. He had to use the last of his physical mobility to ensure the death of the Chosen Maiden!

At that thought, Elbino gritted his teeth and let out a hoarse roar at the black-haired girl in front of him.

“I don’t care who you are! Get out of the way!”

As he shouted, Elbino concentrated the last of his battle aura into the scythe in his hand and charged toward Mengxi behind the black-haired girl!

However, the moment Elbino took a single step, the black-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly in displeasure. She had no intention of speaking. Instead, under Elbino’s bewildered gaze, she slowly raised her hand as a flicker of crimson light rippled from her fingertips.

?!!

What… what does she want to do?!

In the next instant, before Elbino could figure out what was happening, a crimson light rapidly expanded in his vision! Although his eyes saw it, the speed of the red light was undoubtedly beyond his imagination, leaving his body no time to react.

‘Eh??’

Before he could even let out a cry of surprise, Elbino’s upper body was directly swallowed by the crimson light! Unprecedented pain, extreme despair, and unease rushed into Elbino’s brain at that moment! He wanted to struggle, but it was ultimately futile.

Under the corrosion of the red light, his body began to melt…

As the crimson light dissipated, Elbino’s upper body and the short scythes held in his hands had vanished into nothingness. His remaining lower body wobbled for a moment before falling powerlessly to the ground.

Then, countless Blood Butterflies swarmed over. In an instant, the remaining lower body was completely annihilated in a strange red light…

Looking at the now-obliterated Elbino, Miss Yumo shook her head faintly.

“Sigh, a stepping stone should have the self-awareness of a stepping stone. Don’t always think about defeating my female lead~”

Her goal had been to observe the female lead’s strength.

In Yumo’s view, for a protagonist to grow, facing setbacks, getting hurt, or even being severely wounded was essential. After all, one can only become stronger after enduring many hardships. Therefore, as Elbino repeatedly wounded Mengxi, Yumo had remained a spectator.

However, getting hurt was one thing, but dying was out of the question~

‘How could I let the female lead I worked so hard to find just kick the bucket like that?’

She definitely had to be nurtured properly! If she died, who would kill me in the future!

Thinking this, Yumo had pouted slightly in displeasure when she saw Elbino trying to kill Mengxi. Afterward, she sent this disposable item straight back to the recycle bin.

“Speaking of which,” Yumo muttered to herself as she recalled the events from just now.

A crimson butterfly slowly flew to Yumo’s side at that moment and placed a small red pill into her palm. It was the very Blood Soul Pill that had been on Zack. Gazing at the little object in her hand, Yumo’s crimson eyes narrowed slightly.

The thing inside this pill… was Shadow Essence?? And it was actually sealed inside by someone??
