Volume 1, Chapter 67 – Yumo’s Smile

A few minutes ago, sensing Mengxi’s life force rapidly declining through the effect of the soul gem, Bai Yanluo felt a hint of unease. When she discovered Mengxi’s life force was dropping yet the Divine Miracle had still not been triggered, an ominous premonition spread frantically through Bai Yanluo’s heart like floodwaters from a broken dam, instantly plunging this Heavenly Apostle into a state of anxiety.

‘Damn it! Could it be that some accident has occurred?!’

A deep sense of solemnity involuntarily surfaced within Bai Yanluo’s azure eyes as the girl tightly bit her lip! She had to go see!

Bai Yanluo decisively made this choice in her heart, however, how could it be so easy for her to support the Chosen Maiden right now?!

“Roar roar roar oooooh!!”

The moment she looked toward Garlos Fortress, a crimson Annihilation Cannon filled with destructive power suddenly came whistling toward her! In that instant, Bai Yanluo’s pupils constricted as she abruptly flew to the side, dodging Snow Devourer’s point-blank Annihilation Cannon! However, the snowy-white giant wolf’s attack did not stop there. It swung its wolf claws, suddenly delivering a heavy blow to Bai Yanluo!

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by an explosion of crimson Shadow Essence, the light-attribute protective magic around Bai Yanluo’s body shattered! Her entire body was sent flying backward, crashing wretchedly into a group of Abyssal Demons nearby! Countless Abyssal Demons immediately swarmed over, attempting to tear Bai Yanluo to pieces!

However, Bai Yanluo was a terrifying existence at the sword god tier after all. After coming to her senses, she immediately brandished the black sword in her hand! Violent white sword energy suddenly expanded in all directions, directly slicing the swarming Abyssal Demons into pieces! Then, Bai Yanluo’s azure eyes stared fixedly at the terrifying demon king tier existence charging toward her with a roar.

After unleashing its power, Snow Devourer’s strength had undoubtedly increased significantly. At this moment, Bai Yanluo no longer had the confidence she initially felt about defeating her opponent. At least, it was absolutely impossible to achieve in a short time! But she couldn’t allow herself to be dragged down like this!

Realizing this, Bai Yanluo narrowed her eyes. Since that was the case…

In the next instant, Bai Yanluo abruptly took out three scrolls with golden patterns and a large number of bottled spellcasting materials from her spatial ring! She injected a massive amount of holy magic into them without hesitation! Suddenly, a huge white magic circle emerged beneath Bai Yanluo’s feet as Bai Yanluo herself clasped her hands together, chanting a magic incantation at high speed.

As the incantation was chanted, the massive amount of casting materials disintegrated into points of white light and surged into the magic circle! A dazzling pure white light slowly emerged in Bai Yanluo’s eyes.

‘Sanctuary Magic – Six Pillar Demon Sealing Domain!’

When the magic circle was completely constructed, the earth shook violently and countless huge fissures cracked across the snowy plains. Under Snow Devourer’s slightly bewildered gaze, six pillars of light abruptly rose from the ground, standing tall around the snowy-white giant wolf! Subsequently, a massive field barrier was suddenly constructed around Snow Devourer using the six light pillars as fulcrums, trapping this terrifying demon king tier existence within the sky-reaching curtain of light!

‘Sanctuary Magic – Six Pillar Demon Sealing Domain’ was one of the highest-tier spells Bai Yanluo could use, a powerful magic capable of easily sealing several seventh tier Abyssal Demons. However, Bai Yanluo was also very aware that sanctuary magic seemed somewhat insufficient to deal with a demon king tier existence. Considering the powerful Shadow Essence fluctuations around Snow Devourer, this sealing magic would likely only be able to suppress her for a few minutes.

Just as Bai Yanluo predicted, in the next instant, accompanied by an explosive venting of crimson energy, the horrifying impact of Shadow Essence began to frantically batter the barrier’s walls! One after another, white cracks gradually appeared on the curtain of light and began to spread rapidly…

‘As expected, this barrier can at most trap that fellow for two minutes.’

She couldn’t waste time. She had to get to Mengxi quickly and take the child away!

After slaying two sixth tier Abyssal Demons that lunged at her, Bai Yanluo crouched down and then suddenly leapt into the air! Surrounded by light-attribute holy magic, she turned into a white meteor and charged toward Garlos Fortress, the location where Mengxi was!

After a flash of white light, the fully accelerated Bai Yanluo rushed back to the interior of Garlos Fortress in an instant! Like a world-crusher, she slammed down from the sky, kicking up a cloud of dust!

“Mengxi!”

After dispersing the dense dust around her, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but call out anxiously. However, just after uttering the cry, Bai Yanluo froze on the spot. A surge of complex emotions, shock, confusion, anger, continuously welled up in the heart of this Heavenly Apostle. Her words stopped abruptly as her azure eyes stared fixedly ahead.

Before her eyes, the Church’s extremely important Chosen Maiden lay unconscious amidst the ruins! Beside Mengxi was a black-haired woman dressed in black with bare feet! Without a doubt, the black-haired woman was extraordinarily beautiful, perhaps the only existence she had ever seen who could rival Mengxi. However, such a breathtaking beauty instantly gave Bai Yanluo an indescribable sense of terrifying pressure.

Even though the other party had not yet released her power, she gave Bai Yanluo a sensation of trembling from the depths of her soul that was even stronger than when she had met the Pope! And more importantly, the red glow in this black-haired girl’s hands was clearly Shadow Essence?!

An existence capable of controlling Shadow Essence?!

‘Is this girl an Abyssal Demon?!’

The moment she met the black-haired girl’s crimson eyes, Bai Yanluo reached this conclusion in her heart. A deep sense of shock overflowed from her azure eyes. The Abyssal Demons recorded within the Church were all in the form of beasts! A humanoid Abyssal Demon? She had never heard of such a thing!

Moreover, there were so many big fellows lingering behind the girl. Gazing at the hideous, abominable monsters standing around the black-haired girl, the solemnity in Bai Yanluo’s eyes deepened. Under normal circumstances, these Abyssal Demons should have hysterically attacked her upon encountering someone with such dense holy magic! But now? These Abyssal Demons were actually just standing there, alertly watching her?!

This clearly went against the nature of Abyssal Demons. They were being controlled! They were being controlled by the girl in front of her! It was common knowledge that only those at the demon king tier could control Abyssal Demons. In other words, the girl before her was a demon king tier existence!

After realizing this, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but gasp, staring at the black-haired girl with extreme wariness.

‘An existence not in the records… is she the one newly born within the Great Winter Forest?’

No, that wasn’t important. What was important was what she intended to do now?!

Glancing at the seemingly dying Mengxi and seeing the black-haired girl’s hand-blade slowly approaching Mengxi’s chest, a heaven-toppling murderous intent and hostility erupted from Bai Yanluo’s body, continuously gathering toward the black longsword in her hand!

“What do you intend to do to the Saintess!!”

On the other side, Miss Yumo, whose brow was being pointed at by the black sword, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. She looked curiously at the snowy-white giant wolf temporarily sealed within the Sanctuary Magic in the distance.

Yo-ho! Not bad, she can actually temporarily suppress that girl Li Mo.

Miss Yumo couldn’t help but silently praise Bai Yanluo in her heart. However, praise was just praise. Facing Bai Yanluo’s aggressive interrogation and feeling the terrifying murderous intent that was so overwhelming it made the air feel thick, Miss Yumo furrowed her brows innocently, her crimson eyes filled with the word ‘wronged’.

Please! It wasn’t me who injured the female lead like this; I actually saved her! I’m the great benefactor of your Ashurmos Church, okay! To actually point a sword at me like this, really… hmm??

Really, it’s just… wonderful~ Hehehe~

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Miss Yumo let out a wicked laugh in her heart. The ‘innocence’ in her crimson eyes was hidden, replaced by a trace of mockery. In the next moment, under Bai Yanluo’s nervous gaze, the black-haired girl slowly tilted her head, revealing a demonic and gloomy villain boss specialty smile (Yumo version). She spoke slowly in a teasing tone:

“What do I want to do? Is that even a question? Of course, it’s to take the Saintess back to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons~”
