Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 756 - 757: Chaos Ensues

Inside the Black Rose residence,

The once dignified and elegant Secretary Wanya had already forsaken her usual composure, running wildly through the corridor without a care for the priceless ancient paintings on the walls around her. Even as her magical outburst caused some of these paintings to fall to the ground, Wanya paid them no mind. No... to be precise, she didn’t have the time to care.

In a rush, she even tore open her beloved long dress to speed up her run.

At this moment,

Nothing was more important than the information she held!

Arriving at the door of the Black Rose Duke’s office, Wanya immediately bypassed the usual procedure of knocking and asking for permission. She forcefully broke through the barrier outside the room and burst through the door, yelling at the composed black-haired man inside:

"My Lord! It’s, it’s terrible! Mother... ah, Lady Yumo!! She, she has been captured by those Red Leaf people and thrown into the Sky Prison!!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao immediately froze, his initial desire to scold Wanya for disregarding etiquette forcibly swallowed back down, and the coffee cup in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

*Crash~*

Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass and the splashing of the black liquid, a particularly delicate silence enveloped the room for a moment.

Xiao, a man usually known for his strategies, showed a stunned expression for the first time. He blinked, as if he was in a dream.

"What did you say?"

"Lady Yumo has been locked up in the Black-Death-Sky Prison!"

"Uh..."

However,

The Black Rose Duke is still the Black Rose Duke. After meeting Wanya’s serious and earnest gaze, he realized the truth of her words and quickly snapped out of his daze.

Immediately, Xiao’s confusion dissipated, revealing a grave expression filled with a murderous aura, and he anxiously issued the first order after hearing this shocking news,

"Quick!!! Lock down this information! Make sure that Limo, that little devil, doesn’t find out!!"

"Eh?!"

However, hearing this command, Wanya, for the first time, was taken aback, seemingly remembering something and awkwardly scratching her cheek.

This unusual reaction did not escape Xiao’s notice. His eyes narrowed slightly in an instant,

"Wanya, you didn’t already?"

Wanya didn’t immediately respond.

But she didn’t need to.

Because in the next moment, Xiao was certain... it was already too late.

*Boom! Boom!!*

Accompanied by one earth-shattering boom after another, a powerful yet extremely agitated aura forcefully made its way into Xiao’s perceptual field, charging towards Xiao’s location! It was a figure enveloped in formidable energy, whipping up a gale along its path! Everywhere it passed was left in disarray, with debris flying everywhere...

The Black Rose family’s exquisite garden was instantly destroyed in this assault, with the Black Rose knights and a host of gardeners and maids all attempting to stop this figure.

Unfortunately, their efforts were ultimately futile.

Eventually, the figure blew everything away, forcefully colliding with the barrier surrounding the residence.

Boom!!!

With a burst of energy and a loud explosion, under Xiao’s grim gaze, the wall behind him was suddenly blasted open! As for the barrier around the main house? It was undoubtedly demolished by this uninvited guest.

The next moment,

Entering Xiao’s field of vision, was a figure he was all too familiar with,

It was a beautiful young girl with lovely white hair and fluffy ears.

Though the girl’s face and clothes were smeared with a lot of mud, making her look unkempt, it still couldn’t hide her naturally beautiful face and the naive vigor contained within...

"Limo..."

Xiao said, with a twitching eyebrow.

Almost instantly as Xiao began to speak, Limo’s expression changed dramatically, her little face suddenly filled with immense fear and unease, her lips trembling slightly, tears swirling in her eyes as if she was about to cry.

Upon seeing Xiao, Limo could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

"Waaahhhh!! Xiao!!"

Limo rushed forward Crying, anxiously grabbing Xiao’s collar, and began shaking him wildly, her cries for help echoing throughout the house.

"Wuahhhhhhhhh!! Mommy has been captured! Mommy has been captured! Mommy has been captured! Mommy has been captured! Mommy has been captured Mommy has been captured!..."

"Please help me! Save mommy! Save mommy! Save mommy! Save mommy! Save mommy!..."

At this moment, Limo seemed to have turned into a repeating machine, hysterically crying out for help. The simple, repeated phrases conveyed a deep sense of anxiety and the girl’s unsettled heart.

It’s completely understandable for Limo to feel anxious about her mother being captured.

However, For Xiao, the one being asked for help, things were tough, as even being a peak 8th-level, he couldn’t withstand Limo shaking him so vigorously. After all, although Xiao is strong, his strength doesn’t lie in his physical resilience.

Amidst the relentless shaking, Xiao felt as if the world was spinning, almost as if his soul was about to be shaken out of his body.

"Ugh..."

Somewhere in between, Xiao even felt the urge to vomit.

"Uh..."

Wanya, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but cover her mouth guiltily.

Clearly, She was the main culprit behind this situation.

Although she understood the importance of keeping such significant information confidential, upon receiving the report from the information officer, Wanya couldn’t help but exclaim, causing a few nearby maids and guards to also become aware of the news. Later, in an urgent attempt to verify the information and report to the Duke...

For a moment, Wanya completely forgot to warn the servants not to leak this information, eventually leading to Limo hearing about it,

’Sigh, What a slip...’

However, guilt aside, Wanya still faced the pressure of Limo’s shadow force and managed to step forward. If she continued to let Limo shake the Duke’s head, she really wondered if his head would be shaken off. After all... it was already leaving afterimages.

"Miss Limo, please calm down a bit? Lady Yumo will be okay."

Wanya attempted to persuade.

Unfortunately, Limo, with her one-track mind, couldn’t focus on anything else besides the thought of comforting her mother.

Wanya’s attempt to calm Limo down was, unsurprisingly, completely ignored.

In fact, not just Wanya’s attempts, but even Xiao’s pleas were utterly disregarded by Limo. The current werewolf girl continued to cry and shake Xiao incessantly, venting her inner turmoil.

"Lady Limo, you..."

Realizing that his words were also powerless to stop Limo, Xiao was forced to make a reluctant decision.

After all, He certainly didn’t want to be shaken to death by a werewolf without any clear reason.

—"Magic Spear - Heavy Hammer Mode"—

As dark magical power surged, a pitch-black magic spear materialized in Xiao’s hand and, under the control of his will, immediately transformed into a giant hammer radiating a chilling brilliance!

Then, With a loud ’clang!’, Limo, who was dizzy from shaking her head, quickly lost consciousness and collapsed into Xiao’s arms.

And Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

However, Xiao clearly had no time to relax now. Having just recovered, he immediately adopted a stern and serious demeanor, looking out of the window at the estate with a complex gaze. Leveraging his sharp senses and exceptional perceptual abilities, Xiao quickly became aware of the current situation of the Black Rose family.

After the news of Yumo’s capture spread, the entire Black Rose family was stirred up. These people had even armed themselves, ready to march to Anvika to rescue her.

"Destroy Anvika," "Annihilate Asumos Church," "Bombard Sky City," and similar phrases were continuously heard by Xiao.

Xiao remained silent, quietly observing the situation.

"Lord Duke, what should we do now?"

Wanya cautiously asked.

Faced with this question, Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly spoke.

"Sigh, no choice then, notify Lady Kalina immediately to take action."
