74 Chapter 74
"Awoooo~~"
In the sea of roaring flames,
Under the extremely scorching heat, the white giant wolf couldn't help but let out a painful howl.
"Sis, sisterrrrrrr!!"
Inside the Galros Fortress, as Liyu watched the earth-shattering explosion in the distance and listened to her sister's cries of pain, the usually in sync with Limo's heart immediately showed deep concern. Though she was not affected by the scarlet energy directly, it was as if her heart was being burnt by the blazing flames, feeling an unbearable pain.
Due to the dense scarlet energy, she was unable to perceive Limo's condition.
Therefore,
The gray-haired little girl grew increasingly anxious and clenched her fists tightly.
After mobilizing her power to construct a wind wall around the Galros Fortress to block the incoming heatwaves,
Liyu turned to the black-haired girl behind her with extreme urgency,
"Mother!! Sis, sister...she..."
Liyu's voice had already taken on a sobbing tone, and her emerald eyes were covered by a layer of moisture.
However,
Liyu's plea for help did not receive Yumo's response.
Because,
At this moment, Yumo had fallen into a strange silence after witnessing Limo being engulfed by the scarlet energy.
Her crimson eyes silently stared at the center of the explosion.
To be honest,
Yumo's heart was quite complicated.
Initially, Yumo cultivated the Demon king-level beings just to serve as advanced experience packs for the protagonist group. The six Demon King levels demons were equivalent to six dungeon bosses. After defeating all of these bosses and gaining enough experience, the protagonist group could then challenge her, the final boss.
But,
While cultivating these Demons, Yumo realized that they had emotions, and they were not as bloodthirsty and mindless as ordinary Abyss Demons. As time passed, Yumo's feelings for these little ones grew stronger.
Being called "Mother" by these little ones every day, and watching them grow step by step, Yumo gradually regarded these Demon king-level beings as her own children.
No mother would want her children to be hurt, let alone killed.
Therefore,
Yumo had always been conflicted, wondering whether she should let these children confront the "protagonist group" in the future.
The mission that the mysterious woman had given her for the trial had been troubling Yumo for some time.
And now,
Watching the white giant wolf she had raised being swallowed by the sea of flames, listening to her child's painful groans,
The highly conflicted issue in her heart reached a conclusion.
'Unwilling!'
She was truly unwilling to see her children getting hurt!
Only she could hit and discipline these children! Not anyone else!
'I will Find someone else to be the dungeon boss!'
She didn't want her children to become experience points!!!!!
After taking a deep breath to stabilize her agitated emotions, Yumo looked at the nervous gray-haired little girl in front of her. She couldn't help but use her finger to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes and rub Liyu's little head, gently comforting her,
"It's alright, your sister is fine, she just suffered some burns."
"Really, really?!"
Hearing her mother's words, the uneasiness in Liyu's emerald eyes dissipated slightly.
"Yes,"
Yumo nodded.
She had already placed the protective power of Shadows within Limo. Unless an extraordinary being attacked Limo, the girl would be fine, only suffering some injuries at most...
"Dispel the flames and bring your sister back. And use this to heal her while you're at it."
As she spoke,
Yumo took out an exquisite crystal bottle from her spatial ring, which contained 'Tears of Nature.'
"Mmm! I got it!"
After receiving the crystal bottle from her mother, the anxious Liyu immediately spread her wings and transformed into an emerald light, rushing towards the direction of her sister!
As Liyu departed,
The gentle expression Yumo had used to comfort Liyu gradually faded from her face, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.
Then,
The black-haired girl slowly raised her head, looking towards the horizon.
At this moment, a steel meteorite wrapped in purple light once again approached at an extraordinary speed from afar!
Gazing at the approaching steel meteorite, Yumo's crimson eyes narrowed slightly.
Not only did they attack her daughter?
Now they want to kill the female protagonist too?
'Since they want to die so badly, so be it...'
In that instant, a gloomy smile emerged on Yumo's face, and her crimson eyes rarely filled with a chilling murderous intent...
--
Elsewhere,
Atop the Anqi Mountain Range in the southern part of Galros Fortress,
Watching the earth-shattering explosion in the distance, the scarlet flames that pierced the sky, and feeling the scorching breath rushing from afar, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Wind City and various fortresses instantly felt a chill down their spines, looking in horror at the red light breaking through the sky.
Even the Marquis Xiumu, who was a Sword Saint expert, was no exception.
He was utterly shocked,
Although he had guessed that the weapon would be powerful, he didn't expect it to be this terrifying!
At this moment, he understood why the royal family had been so aggressive towards the Red Lotus Empire and the Asumos Church lately. It turned out they had developed this weapon?!
However, how did the Crown Prince manage to develop such a terrifying weapon?
Recalling the blond man he had once seen in the palace,
Xiumu still felt a lingering fear even now.
"No, don't think about that now. What's the situation with that Demon king level being?"
Hearing Xiumu's words, the Knight Captain Sekta nearby shook his head helplessly.
"The aftershock of the explosion is too strong. The griffin scouts in the sky can't get close. We can't confirm the current status of the snow devourer. The only thing we can be sure of is that the magical fission bomb hit the giant wolf right on its head."
"Ah, I see."
"Yes, Marquis, what do you think? Can this weapon kill snow devourer?"
For this question,
Xiumu hesitated slightly,
" I'm not sure. After all, I'm not exactly clear how strong a Demon king is."
"But, after such an explosion, even a Demon king-level existence would be severely injured, right?"
"That should be the case."
Xiumu thoughtfully looked forward,
Although he was very puzzled by the royal family's decision to attack snow devourer and Bai Yanluo together, he guessed that after this round of explosions, the Abyssal Demons would most likely retreat, right?
Realizing that the crisis in the north might be resolved,
Xiumu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
However,
At this moment, a knight beside him suddenly cried out in panic,
"Marquis, that... that... over there?!!"
The knight's cry made Xiumu frown, and he hurriedly turned his head to follow the knight's gaze toward the sky. Those nearby did the same.
Then,
In the next instant, everyone's faces changed drastically! Fear rapidly spread through their hearts and quickly spread like a virus within the army!
At this moment,
In the sky, a familiar scene was playing out once again,
The steel meteorite wrapped in purple light suddenly entered everyone's field of vision! And its falling direction was none other than Galros Fortress!
Recalling the previous large-scale explosion, Xiumu's eyes shrank, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
If this magical fission bomb landed on Galros Fortress, then all of them would be within the explosion's range! Whether or not the weapon could kill a Demon king being, Xiumu really didn't know, but if they were caught off guard,
Xiumu was certain that most of the soldiers behind him would be killed!
With a heavy heart, Xiumu abruptly turned around and issued a command to the soldiers behind him with all his might!
"Quick, retreat!! And activate the magical barrier! Hurry!"
The roar filled with powerful fighting spirit pulled everyone's consciousness back to reality! The knights hurriedly began to evacuate and tried to activate the defensive magic!
However,
Compared to the speed of the falling steel meteorite, their speed was like that of a turtle...
Faced with the purple light falling without warning!
They had no time to retreat,
Nor could they build a defense,
All they could do was watch helplessly as the steel meteorite rapidly fell to the ground with fear and helplessness in their eyes.
"It's... it's over..."
Xiumu clenched the hilt of his sword unwillingly.
And at that moment,
The almost despairing elderly Marquis's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing an incredulous look.
At this moment,
Just as the magical fission bomb was about to make intimate contact with Galros Fortress and unleash its world-ending fury,
A strange red light suddenly flickered within the fortress.
And with the flickering of the red light,
A vast swarm of blood-colored butterflies burst forth from within the fortress...
'What... what is that?! Butterflies?!'
