Chapter 66: Chapter 66
"Cough, cough~"
Was it due to excessive blood loss?
Although Mengxi could hardly feel pain at this moment,
the heavy blow to her chest and the blood continuously flowing out of her wound made her increasingly weak, her vision becoming gradually blurry.
'As expected, was it too much of a struggle?'
The girl lying in the ruins clenched her fists in frustration, slowly raising her head to look at the approaching, murderous figure in the black robe.
What a miscalculation.
At this moment, Mengxi had no strength left to continue fighting, her exhausted body lay on the ground, nearly unable to move.
However, under such circumstances, facing the death-bringing scythe aiming for her slender neck, Mengxi felt no fear in her heart.
All she felt,
was a deep sense of worry.
She didn't know if Grid and the others, including the child, had managed to escape. Had they gotten far enough away?
If they hadn't escaped, they might be in danger soon...
Recalling the innocent look in the pink-haired girl's eyes when they parted, Mengxi couldn't help but bite her lip, her heart filled with a mixture of emotions.
Regrettably,
she was now powerless, forced to silently watch Elbino's figure get closer and closer.
As the cold, murderous intent neared and Mengxi's consciousness became increasingly blurry, an unknown purple-black energy slowly spread from the girl's core...
However,
just as Mengxi was on the verge of entering another extreme state,
countless blood-red butterflies, emitting a red glow, suddenly appeared and flew towards her from all directions without warning.
As the blood butterflies appeared, a black silhouette also suddenly came into Mengxi's view, standing in front of Elbino, causing him to abruptly freeze.
Huh?
'Who, who is that?'
Gazing at the unknown girl's black-to-red gradient long hair and her graceful figure, Mengxi was instantly filled with confusion,
'Who is she?? Is she here to help me?...'
Unfortunately, at this moment, Mengxi had no strength left to ponder this question.
The appearance of the blood-colored butterflies scattered a peculiar golden powder around Mengxi. The moment the powder touched her, her consciousness uncontrollably plunged into darkness, and her pale purple eyes slowly closed.
'What, exactly...'
The girl fell into an unwilling slumber.
As Mengxi succumbed to sleep, bai Yanluo, who was fighting the white giant wolf, suddenly furrowed her brow, as if receiving a special message.
A touch of panic appeared in her azure eyes, and she looked somewhat astonished toward Galros Fortress.
'Mengxi?!'
And just as he was distracted,
the furious roar echoed in her ears, and the snow-white giant wolf's claws, wrapped in the power of the blood-red Shadow, fiercely assaulted him!
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a thunderous noise, the merciless claws tore through bai Yanluo's protective barrier and struck her back! In an instant, a mouthful of blood violently spurted from her mouth, a bitter expression flashing across his face.
'You, damned stinky wolf!'

On the other side,
Elbino, who was charging forward, suddenly shuddered, unbelievingly looking at the black-haired woman who had suddenly blocked his path! In a flash, Elbino couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes locked on the girl's face.
The girl in front of him was so beautiful that it was frightening,
Her gorgeous black waterfall-like hair cascaded down, the ends-stained blood-red. Delicately arched eyebrows, a pair of crimson eyes, enchanting and soul-stealing; a straight and elegant nose, cherry lips like dripping water, a jade-like, flower-like melon seed face. Her skin was as clear and radiant as snow, her figure, graceful and slender, utterly exquisite.
Aside from a slightly regrettable chest area,
this girl who had suddenly appeared before him could be described as flawless.
Compared to her, the women of the Divine Punishment sect seemed like wilted flowers...
'So, so beautiful,'
Elbino couldn't help but sigh.
However,
after sighing, Elbino frantically shook his head, casting out absurd thoughts from his mind! After all, the battle wasn't over yet! It wasn't the time to be thinking about such things!
Moreover,
'who was this girl? How could she suddenly appear before him?!'
Staring at the stunning black-haired girl, countless questions rapidly spread like a virus within Elbino's heart. The girl clearly had no energy fluctuations surrounding her, yet Elbino felt an invisible oppressive feeling. After meeting the girl's crimson eyes, Elbino's soul couldn't help but tremble.
Under normal circumstances,
pausing to observe this sudden, mysterious presence might be the wise choice.
But at this moment,
as the power of the Blood Soul Pill rapidly declined, the life force within Elbino's body started to drain away, and his soul teetered on the brink of collapse. He had no time for further observation; he had to kill the girl of destiny while his body still had the ability to move!
With that thought,
Elbino gritted his teeth and let out a desperate, hoarse roar at the black-haired girl in front of him,
"Whoever you are! Get out of my way!"
As he shouted,
Elbino channeled the last of his fighting energy throughout his body into the scythe in his hand and charged towards Mengxi behind the black-haired girl!
However,
As Elbino took a step forward, the black-haired girl raised her eyebrow slightly, looking displeased.
Without speaking, she raised her hand under Elbino's surprised gaze, and a crimson glow spread from her fingertips.
'What is she trying to do?!'
In the next instant,
before Elbino could comprehend what had happened, the crimson glow rapidly enlarged in his eyes! Although he saw it, the speed of the red light far exceeded his expectations, leaving his body no time to react.
'What?!'
Before he could even let out a cry, Elbino's upper body was swallowed by the red light! Unprecedented pain, extreme despair, and anxiety flooded his brain at that moment! He wanted to struggle, but it was ultimately in vain.
Under the corrosion of the red light, his body began to dissolve...
As the crimson light faded,
Elbino's upper body and the scythe tightly held in his hands vanished into nothingness, leaving only his lower body.
It swayed weakly before collapsing to the ground.
Then, countless blood butterflies swarmed upon it,
and in an instant, the remaining lower body was also obliterated in a bizarre red light...

Looking at the ashes of the now-gone Elbino,Yumo shook her head lightly,
"Sigh, stepping stones should be aware of their roles; stop dreaming of defeating our heroine~"
Her goal was to test the heroine's strength.
In Yumo's view, the protagonist needed to grow through setbacks, injuries, and even serious wounds. Only after experiencing many hardships could she become stronger.
So, while Elbino continuously injured Mengxi, Yumo never intervened.
However,
although she could be hurt, she must not die~
'How can I let the female lead I've finally found die just like that?'
She definitely needs to be nurtured!
'If she dies, who will kill me in the future?'
With such thoughts in Yumo's mind.
upon seeing Elbino trying to kill Mengxi, Yumo pouted her lips and showed an unhappy expression. Then, she made this disposable tool return to the recycling bin for good.
Nevertheless,
"Speaking of which,"
recalling the scenes from earlier, Yumo couldn't help but murmur to herself,
a blood-colored butterfly flew to Yumo's side at this moment and placed a small red pill into her palm.
It was none other than the 'Blood Soul Pill' that Zack had possessed. Staring at the little object in her hand, Yumo's crimson eyes narrowed slightly.
The power within this pill,
is it the Shadow power?
Or was it sealed by someone else??
