Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 631 - 632: The Willful Little Girl [Fixed]

On the other side,

As Aya played with Pipi, who was in high spirits, Yumo walked hand in hand with Yuan’er on the way back to the teacher’s apartment. With her brother already in a bad state, she felt a sense of satisfaction for taking revenge for her lollipop.

Yuan’er’s face was full of joy.

Compared to her cheerful and happy little daughter, Yumo appeared rather calm. Ever since she left Aya’s dormitory, her expression had become somewhat plain, and her brows were slightly furrowed. There was a subtle hint of seriousness in her crimson eyes.

"I still feel a bit uncomfortable..." Yumo murmured to herself, placing her hand on her chest, her voice sounding somewhat weak. Her words carried a trace of pain.

The human presence,

was too overwhelming…

Yumo couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. It seemed she had overestimated her willpower and endurance.

Previously, under Youlan’s guidance, she had been forced to unlock some of the sealed power within her body to defeat the Soul Gathering Demon and save Yuan’er. Although Yumo had managed to regain her sanity under the call of Kalina and hadn’t been devoured by the Abyssal force, it was undoubtedly challenging to suppress the liberated power in the short term.

The surging power within her body continuously attempted to break free from its restraints, causing Yumo’s mental state to become extremely unstable.

It was relatively easy for Yumo to maintain her composure when interacting with her children. However, walking along the green path, Yumo couldn’t help but bite her lip.

As the dormitories of Aya and her roommates were close to the temporary residential area for academy staff, the air was filled with various types of magical auras and qi. There were even traces of holy magic from the followers of the church. In the past, although Yumo felt uncomfortable, she could still maintain her composure and pretend not to notice, calmly passing by everything.

But now, the situation was different.

Yumo had noticed a growing unease within herself, possibly influenced by the relentless emergence of the chilling power from her dark side. As time passed, various negative emotions crawled out of the abyss within her, eroding her heart. Although everything around her was quiet, she felt as if a cacophony of voices filled her ears.

It was as if there was a monstrous creature exuding an aura of hatred, constantly roaring and growling in her ears, stimulating her senses, disturbing her mind, and relentlessly tormenting her sanity.

Yumo’s exquisite face gradually became shrouded in a dark aura.

As time went on, her negative emotions intensified, and she even began to entertain thoughts of destroying everything around her.

-"What if... everyone dies?" =

="Wouldn’t it be peaceful?"-

...

At this moment,

When this thought crossed her mind, Yumo shook her head with a hint of regret, rubbing her temples as she forced herself to stabilize her emotions.

’No, no, what am I thinking...’

Although under the influence of the Abyssal Demon’s nature, Yumo didn’t have much attachment to the human race, and unless she had no other choice, she didn’t want to engage in meaningless slaughter.

Fortunately, after taking a few deep breaths, Yumo managed to stabilize her emotions and resist the urge to destroy everything around her.

’It seemed that in my current state, staying in Luminous might not be suitable’

Thinking of this, Yumo looked up and gazed into the distance to the north.

Unconsciously, she began to miss the days in the cold winter forest. Although life there could be a bit monotonous, with no entertainment and only the Abyssal Demons to keep her company, those foolish Abyssal Demon children had always given her an indescribable warmth and a sense of peace.

’At least, I wouldn’t feel so tired.’

’’So, should I go back home first?’’

Thinking of her beautiful mansion and her well-behaved daughters waiting for her at home, a smile gradually appeared on Miss Yumo’s stunning face.

Then, she lowered her head and looked at Yuan’er, who was holding her hand and looking all happy:

"Yuan’er."

"Yes?"

Hearing her mother’s call, Yuan’er raised her head curiously.

"What’s the matter, Mom?"

"Yuan’er, what do you think... about going back?"

"Going back?"

"Yes, back to the Winter Forest. Back to the North. Your grandparents must be missing you a lot, Yuan’er. And your sisters, they must be looking forward to our return too."

"Ah? Back... back to the forest?"

Yuan’er blinked in a daze, and even the exquisite lollipop in her mouth uncontrollably fell out.

"Hmm?"

There was no doubt that Yuan’er’s reaction far exceeded Yumo’s expectations.

She had thought that after leaving the Winter Forest for two months, Yuan’er would eagerly look forward to reuniting with her grandparents and sisters. However, upon hearing her proposal, the little girl’s face was not filled with joy, but rather shock and confusion.

"What’s wrong, Yuan’er? Don’t you want to go back?" Yumo asked in puzzlement.

To this,

After a brief moment of confusion, Yuan’er pouted hesitantly.

Deep down,

Yuan’er did want to go back and reunite with her grandparents and sisters. After all, they had been separated for so long, and she missed them quite a bit.

However,

Compared to being with her family, Yuan’er had an even more important ’mission’ in her heart!

That is!

’To protect Mom’s happiness and future!’

’Right now, Mom’s relationship with that silver-haired sister is heating up. If I were to give up everything I have accomplished so far and return to the forest now, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain? What if Mom can’t be with that big sister anymore? What if that big sister becomes a threat to Mommy?!’

’No, no, no!’

’Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, so I can’t go back!’

At this moment, as Yumo puzzled over her daughter’s reaction, Yuan’er, with a rare hint of stubbornness, started acting like the spoiled little miss she could be. She stomped her feet on the roadside stones, put her hands in her pockets, and complained in a small, petulant voice:

"No... no, I haven’t played enough yet."

"Yuan’er."

"No, no!"

Without waiting for Yumo to speak, Yuan’er shook her head repeatedly. She abandoned her usual innocent and considerate demeanor in front of Yumo and embraced the familiar role of a willful young lady, speaking in a tantrum-like tone:

"No, I don’t want to go back so soon! I haven’t taken little Meliora for a picnic yet! Mom promised to take me to Anvika Inner City to go shopping, and she hasn’t taken me yet! I haven’t played enough! I don’t want to go back! I don’t want to go back! Let’s stay a little longer!"

Yuan’er didn’t have the wisdom that Kalina possessed, and she didn’t know how to persuade her mother to stay in Anvika. Considering the many troubles that had troubled her mother yesterday, Yuan’er didn’t know how to convince her to stay in Anvika.

So, she could only resort to the last resort—throwing a temper tantrum!

It turned out that Yuan’er’s choice might have been correct after all.

...

"Well, this..."

Faced with her daughter’s unexpected display of stubbornness and tantrum, Yumo stood there for a moment, not knowing how to respond, just watching Yuan’er jump around and act out. She couldn’t understand why her usually well-behaved daughter suddenly became so defiant and willful.

However,

As the black-haired girl pondered this question and wrestled with how to comfort her daughter, a communication magic stone in her pocket emitted a faint blue light, temporarily pulling Yumo’s thoughts away from her contemplation.

In the next moment,

The voice of the old butler, Sebastian, came through:

"Miss Yumo, Miss Mengxi... has come to visit you..."

"..."

Hearing this, Yumo stiffened all over.

In her crimson eyes, a complex emotion she had never experienced before surged.

"She? Coming to see me?"

.....

-In the Sacred Spring of the Elven Forest-

"You! You bastard! Get out, GET AWAY AHHHH!!!"

Staring intently at the golden silhouette that had once again mysteriously appeared before her like a ghost, Yumo was overwhelmed with indescribable anger that erupted hysterically from her eyes.

Like an overflowing flood, this anger instantly engulfed the girl’s inner world.

The bloody butterflies around Yumo, reacting to their master’s loss of control, began to flutter their wings in agitation.

The void-like, pitch-black space was suddenly cloaked in the brutal force of a crimson, silent power.

"Die!!!"

Under the influence of her violent emotions and the innate instincts of the Abyssal Demon,

Yumo, at this moment, could no longer suppress the murderous intent in her mind.

In the next instant,

The girl fiercely raised her hand, and dozens of terrifying crimson bullets of destruction, each with the power to obliterate everything, were launched towards the golden silhouette in front of her, mercilessly engulfing it!

In an instant,

This obscure and pitch-black space suddenly exploded with a blinding crimson light.

The bullets of destruction released by Yumo in her anger, each possessing the terrifying power to annihilate everything, would reduce even an level 8 to ashes if struck, turning them into insignificant dust.

However,

As the crimson energy dissipated,

The golden silhouette, having withstood such a terrible attack, remained unharmed and floated in place. Just like the previous attacks, Yumo’s assault seemed unable to harm this golden figure.

But,

At this moment,

Yumo, nearly losing control of her emotions due to the assault on Youlan, did not realize the oddity of her opponent. After noticing that her attack had no effect, she unhesitatingly launched another barrage.

This figure was entirely made up of pure golden energy. And this energy that constituted its body was precisely the divine power that Yumo most repelled and hated.

Although its face was unclear,

But from the graceful figure, ample bosom, and flowing hair floating in the void, it was clear that the figure before Yumo was a woman, and not just any woman, but one with an extraordinary grace.

To be able to construct a body out of divine power and emit a terrifying power fluctuation that even Yumo found daunting, as well as a supreme aura that reigned over all things...

The identity of this golden figure was self-evident.

It was the goddess who had brought Yumo to this world.
