Abyssal Chronicles

Larkett's head was being held in Mina's hands. His exposed skull, empty eye sockets, and dilated pupils, along with the unnaturally twisted corners of his mouth, seemed to convey the despair and terror he experienced before death.

Blood continuously flowed from his neck, along Mina's palm, slowly dripping to the ground.

Paired with the black-haired girl's ghostly smile, the atmosphere on the ceremonial platform suddenly turned eerie.

"Holy shit?! My God? Did she... did she just kill her fiance?"

From a distance, Lola, who was staring at the ceremonial platform, couldn't help but let out a startled cry. Of course, she wasn't the only one shocked. Nearly everyone at the venue was frozen in place by this completely unexpected scene.

No one had anticipated that this grand ceremony, prepared for so long, would begin in such a manner.

It seemed that this engagement wasn't as beautiful as the Felder family had advertised, and the relationship between the two main characters of the engagement party was definitely not as loving as portrayed.

Not only were they not on good terms, they apparently harbored resentment toward each other.

Otherwise, why would the girl tear off her fiancé's head?

Considering the Felder family's reputation in the Sky Nation, perhaps the girl from Blue Star had been forcibly brought here to marry? In the end, unwilling to compromise, she killed her fiancé.

However... After a momentary daze, Lola's gaze toward Mina couldn't help but carry a hint of sympathy.

Although she also disliked being coerced and threatened, killing one's fiancé in this setting, especially when the other party was the disciple of the Sword Spirit Clan's Holy Lord? That was undoubtedly unwise.

Alas, that girl would probably die a miserable death.

Neither the Felder family nor the Sword Spirit Clan would let her go.

As Lola had predicted, after being stunned for a few seconds due to shock, Taro, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly smashed the table beside him.

"MINA!!"

Looking at his grandson Larkett's bleeding head, Taro roared in fury.

Of course, Taro's anger wasn't due to his grandson's death, but because after his grandson's death, the Felder family might lose their connection to the Holy Lord.

At the same time, with Larkett's death, how could the engagement ceremony be completed?! If it couldn't be completed, wouldn't they be unable to obtain the rewards promised by the Holy Lord?!

Furthermore, after all their hard work preparing this engagement ceremony, which was being watched by countless Alliance spectators, such a disaster had occurred?!

Wouldn't the reputation of the Felder family be ruined?!

The thought that all his ideal future plans were shattered made Taro unable to suppress his anger. He abandoned his elegance and, acting contrary to his usual demeanor, stood up angrily.

"MINA, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"

However, faced with Taro's angry questioning, Mina remained nonchalant, and even challenged his anger by teasing:

"Nothing much~ just casually killed a little beast, that's all~"

With these words, the scene erupted into an uproar.

This girl, directly provoking a Level 8... she's dead for sure.

Everyone thought the same.

The next instant, as expected, Taro, with bulging veins, suddenly rose and transformed into a gray lightning bolt, rushing toward Mina with lightning speed.

At this moment, Taro's anger was beyond measure.

Now, he had only one thought in his mind!

That was to tear this little girl who had ruined his plans into pieces!

In an instant, the formidable magical power of a high-ranked Level 8 suddenly erupted, fiercely pressing down on the black-haired girl!

Taro raised his hand high, as if in the next moment he would use his hand blade to slice through Mina's body.

Seeing this scene, the guests, including Lola, sighed with complex emotions. Many even slowly closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the bloody scene about to unfold.

"DIE!!"

Energy compressed and condensed on Taro's arm, and his sharp hand blade resembled a terrifying battle axe, striking toward Mina with world-splitting momentum.

However, facing such a terrifying attack, the girl who should have been easily knocked unconscious by Taro's aura, continued to calmly observe Taro's face.

As the hand blade drew closer, not only did the pretty girl's face show no trace of fear or despair, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a chilling, eerie smile.

"How pitiful~"

The moment this strange smile entered his sight, Taro's soul trembled, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly overwhelmed his heart.

No, something's wrong!!

Feeling that something was amiss, Taro hurriedly tried to withdraw his force.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The girl's slender, delicate fingers had already somehow rapidly enlarged in his eyes.

Lola: ?!!

Angel: ?!!!!

Yaohuaba: ?!!

Heinotim: ?!!!!

Splat!!

The next moment, accompanied by splashing blood, a scene beyond everyone's expectations suddenly unfolded on the ceremonial platform. Indeed, as many guests had predicted, blood splattered across the ceremonial platform. However, this blood did not belong to the black-haired girl... but to the Felder family's head, Taro Felder.

Just like that, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Taro, who had charged forward aggressively attempting to kill the murderer just a second ago, was in the next second, sliced into countless pieces amidst flashes of crimson light, blood splattering across the ceremonial platform!

The powerful energy field shattered.

Blood, internal organs, and tattered clothing scattered everywhere, and within the pool of blood, not a single intact body part could be seen.

Of course, Taro's body wasn't completely reduced to minced meat; his head was still preserved intact and was grabbed by the hair in the black-haired girl's hand.

?!!

"This, this, how, how could..."

Taro's head let out a hoarse and ferocious growl filled with disbelief.

As a Level 8 powerhouse, although his body had been shattered, his head still retained some consciousness. Looking at his non-existent body below and the black-haired girl with a ghostly smile before him, Taro's anger vanished, replaced by endless fear. In that instant just now, Taro clearly felt the cold, evil, and despair-inducing power released by the girl.
