Chapter 59 - 59
Chapter 59:
Faced with the Abyssal Demon, the seemingly endless fear that dragged one into the abyss itself,
As Grid saw the scene behind him, he was suddenly overwhelmed by an unprecedented intense confusion, causing him to shakily and incredulously point at what was before him,
"What did you do?!"
Abyssal Demons,
They were ruthless, bloodthirsty, and terrifying monsters! To them, everything apart from other Abyssal Demons would be seen as prey.
They didn't care about your skin color, whether you were male, female, old, or young.
Upon seeing anything, they would attack directly,
They could be called truly impartial in the most genuine sense,
This kind of monster shouldn't have shown any mercy just because a person was young or pitiful! It should have been that way, right?!
But,
But, but why?!
Why was the little girl unharmed?!
Not only unharmed?! But even getting along intimately with the Abyssal Demon?! What the hell was going on?!
In a flash, Gird felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind practically crashing, in chaos, he could only tremble and stare intently at the pink-haired girl.
Facing Gird 's shocking face ,
The pink-haired girl indifferently turned her head, looking at the Asumos Knight whose spirit had somewhat collapsed.
At this moment, Gird was astonished to find that the little girl's deep blue eyes no longer held the previous overwhelming fear. The sense of despair and sorrow was gone, replaced by an indescribable coldness and mockery.
Those eyes,
Seemed to be looking at a clown?
And that clown seemed to be himself?!
"I didn't do anything , see ?"
The girl gave a playful response,
However,
Gird was obviously dissatisfied with this answer! Noticing that the surrounding Abyssal Demons had all mysteriously fallen into a state of observation, Gird shouted hysterically again,
"What exactly did you do?! Why isn't that Abyssal Demon attacking you?! Why isn't it killing you?!"
"Hmm? Why?!"
Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a mocking laugh.
"My child is so well-behaved and adorable. How could they possibly attack me?"
What?!
Child? Well-behaved and adorable?!
This two-headed Abyssal Demon?!
Looking at the terrifying monster with a horrifying face and fangs next to the pink-haired girl, its mouth still hanging with unidentifiable flesh, Gird couldn't help but doubt his ears, his eyebrows twitching wildly.
"This thing is adorable?! You must be kidding me?!"
"I think it's quite adorable,"
The pink-haired girl, Yumo, said indifferently,
And she continued to gently scratch the tiger-like Abyssal Demon's chin. The brutal, sixth-tier Abyssal Demon obediently closed its eyes, seemingly enjoying Yumo's caresses. Gird, who was not far away, couldn't help but stare in amazement, unable to recover for a long time.
Indeed,
From a normal person's perspective, most Abyssal Demons were extremely hideous and terrifying, having nothing to do with being cute and well-behaved.
But,
For Yumo, it was completely different.
In the more than five hundred years she had been the managing consciousness of the Myriad Demons Hall, she had seen very few humans. The ones who accompanied her daily and helped her pass the boring days were these Abyssal Demons. In Yumo's eyes, the Abyssal Demons had long since been disassociated from the word "monster."
Those higher-ranked abyssal demons with a hint of consciousness appeared rather adorable in Yu Mo's eyes.
Take the sixth-ranked peak abyssal demon in front of her, for example?
Apart from looking menacing, having stronger attacks, thicker skin, a larger size, and a larger appetite, and hoping to bite people, wasn't it just like a kitty?
Patting the abyssal demon's head, Yu Mo smiled faintly, and the demon willingly nuzzled her cheek with its head.
"Meow~~"
Witnessing the pink-haired girl's interaction with the abyssal demon,Grid couldn't help but slap his own face wildly, wondering if he was having a nightmare.
However,
The burning pain on his face told him that this wasn't a dream.
This inconceivable scene was real.
How could an abyssal demon be so close to a little girl? Impossible, unheard of!
Wait a minute!
Perhaps the girl had some kind of trick to control the abyssal demons?
Yes, that must be it! There must be a special method! If he could learn the secret, maybe he could survive?!
Realizing this, Grid hurriedly hid his previous disdain for the girl. The knight immediately put on a flattering smile and approached the pink-haired girl obsequiously.
"Little.... little sister? Could you tell big brother, what exactly have you done? How are these abyssal demons so well-behaved under your hands?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Uh, if you tell me, we could save more people? Later, I'll tell the captain, your big sister Meng Xi will definitely be happy!"
"Oh? You're going to tell Sister Meng Xi?"
"Well, of course, she's my captain after all."
"You still consider her your captain?"
Yu Mo said coldly,
Her previous cute tone disappeared completely.
"Do you still remember what your captain told you?"
"Instructions? What?"
"Hehe, of course, to protect me! But what did you all do?"
"No, no! That was a misunderstanding! At that time, I was...?!!!!"
What?!
However,
Before Grid could finish, his pupils suddenly contracted. An unprecedented, unparalleled, and terrifying spiritual pressure slammed into him like a mountain, causing him to tremble and collapse to the ground.
The extreme oppression, hundreds of times stronger than the surrounding abyssal demons, rendered Grid unable to speak.
His soul was on the verge of being ruthlessly crushed under the pressure. He barely maintained his consciousness, lying on the ground, his face full of horror and disbelief, looking at the seemingly harmless little girl.
'An abyssal demon?!'
'A human-shaped abyssal demon?!'
'How could it be?!'
Suddenly, Grid felt as if he was struck by lightning, staring at the red-eyed pink-haired girl with a gaze full of doubt. Recalling the little girl's previous actions and the strange reactions of the abyssal demons,
Grid abruptly had a moment of sudden realization.
After the sudden realization, unparalleled fear and anxiety began to spread wildly in Grid's heart.
'An intelligent abyssal demon, transforming into a human shape? Deliberately getting close to the Girl of Destiny?'
"What, what are your intentions?"
However,
Yu Mo had no intention of explaining anything, only revealing a creepy and cruel smile.
"I'm very busy, you know. I don't feel like wasting my breath on you any longer."
In the next moment,
Under Grid's desperate gaze,
Yu Mo looked up towards his back.
"Children, time for extra meal~"
"No, no, no! Please, no..."
Hearing her words, Grid, supported by his survival instincts, immediately let out a hysterical plea for mercy.
His entire face twisted and deformed due to crying and fear, looking quite comical.
However,
The pink-haired girl didn't pay any attention, but coldly watched him.
Soon,
Grid couldn't let out a single plea for mercy, because in the next second, the two spider-shaped abyssal demons behind him pounced directly.
As the abyssal demons' venomous fangs pierced his neck, Grid's consciousness completely fell into the boundless darkness...
Watching the Asumos Knight being dismembered and devoured by the abyssal demons, Yu Mo felt indifferent in her heart.
She had long grown accustomed to such scenes.
As for Grid's pleas for mercy, Yu Mo didn't care in the slightest.
She remembered the scene when the guy form the church, being chased by abyssal demons, threw the slave children off his horse. And now this man abandoned the female protagonist and tried to escape alone.
He was not a suitable companion.
Disobeying the captain's orders proved he was not a reliable subordinate either.
Such a person might betray the female lead for his own interests or safety one day.
With that in mind,
There was no need for him to stay by the female lead's side any longer. He could just be fed to the abyssal demons.
Furthermore,
'The quality of the companions around the female lead is really subpar. The only decent one, Galona, was too weak, and she's already dead...'
To complete the upcoming trials,
It seems that she needs to find some suitable companions for the female lead.
Thinking of this, Yu Mo unconsciously placed her hand on her chin and briefly fell into deep thought.
At that moment,
As if sensing something,
Yu Mo raised her eyebrows and looked in the southwest direction of the fortress with a playful expression in her azure eyes.
'Oh? The reinforcements have finally arrived~'
If they hadn't come soon,
I wouldn't even know how to keep this charade going~
