Chapter 37: Chapter 37
'Hmm,'
After looking at Depro, who was killed by her slap, and the gruesome corpse, Yumo stared at her hands with great consternation.
It seemed,
'I might have overestimated the physical strength of a sixth-rank human.'
'To think that just one slap would send the opponent's head flying.'
'It seemed that I must control my strength in the future and not treat humans the same way I treated the abyssal demons. These creatures were just too fragile.'
The black-haired girl made a silent decision in her heart.
Then,
Yumo slowly turned around and looked at the pink-haired girl lying on the ground, who was already on the brink of death.
Actually,
In the past, numerous people would die in the Winter Forest each year, and Yumo would mostly not bother to intervene.
She would let these people fend for themselves.
In a certain sense, Yumo had already become numb to such incidents.
This time she took action, partly because she was itching to test her own strength against these fifth and sixth-rank humans, as well as her new body.
'and also, for this girl.'
Slowly squatting down, Yumo quietly examined the dying girl in front of her. The power of Shadow was slowly released from Yumo's body, gently enveloping the girl.
After sensing for a moment,
Yumo couldn't help but reveal a 'not unexpected' smile.
'As I thought, it's a Holy Light Physique.'
Holy Light Physique,
It was a rare physique with a high affinity for Holy power.
The Asumos Church had been searching for talents with this kind of physique on the continent for many years. Nearly all known individuals with the Holy Light Physique on the continent had become powerful forces within the Asumos Church, with one even becoming an Apostle of Heaven.
Now, the strength of the younger generation on the continent was declining more and more.
Anxious about this phenomenon, Yumo naturally did not want to let such talents die. So, she appeared here, intending to save the girl and send her to the Asumos Church in the future.
Maybe, she would become a powerful ally for the protagonist to help defeat her one day.
However,
'It's a pity.'
After sensing the girl's injuries, Yumo couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
At this moment, the girl's spine had been shattered by a bullet, her internal organs were severely damaged, and the remaining energy from the bullet had even reached the girl's core, which could be understood as the important organ for mobilizing her magic power.
It was obvious that the girl was seriously injured.
Her life force and soul power were rapidly draining from her body, and she would undoubtedly die within a few minutes without intervention.
Glancing at the girl's pale face, Yumo sighed regretfully.
Then, Yumo slowly stood up from the ground, ready to leave.
'Sigh, there's basically no hope of saving her when she's injured like this...'
At least,
There was no conventional way.
However,
Just as Yumo was about to leave, a weak voice full of pleading came slowly from the girl's mouth.
"Save, ple...s, sav...e, save me..."
Although the voice was faint, it did not escape Yumo's keen senses.
Hearing this voice, Yumo couldn't help but show a slightly surprised expression, glancing at the pitiful girl lying on the snow, barely clinging to life.
'Oh?'
'Such a strong desire to survive?'
'And she still had consciousness and could speak in this state? It seemed her willpower and soul strength were quite strong.'
Yumo raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful expression appearing on her beautiful face.
"Come to think of it, if I were to infuse the power of shadows into this girl's Holy Light Physique, I wonder what would happen? It's quite interesting."
She thought to herself that she should try it out.
Yumo, feeling impulsive, turned around and crouched down in front of the girl with pink hair, touching her blood-stained face gently and speaking softly.
"I can save you, but whether you can survive or not will depend on yourself. It will be quite painful during the process and will make you wish for death. Also, even if you survive, you will have to pay a very painful price. so do you want it?"
As Yumo's words entered the pink-haired girl's ears, her lifeless blue eyes seemed to refocus and a glimmer appeared.
Yumo's words undoubtedly gave the girl a glimmer of hope, and in order to seize that hope, she mustered up the last of her strength and spoke:
"As long as...I can...survive...I...I'm willing..."
The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, and without a doubt, her body had reached its limit, with death beckoning from across the river.
"Well, since you're willing, then okay."
Yumo smiled slightly.
"I'll try to save you."
Then, the black-haired girl slowly raised her hand, and a horrifying red light suddenly appeared around her body, gathering and condensing into an energy blade.
In the next moment, with a flash of red light!
The energy blade passed through Yumo's fingertips, and a little crimson blood slowly overflowed from her fingertip. This was not ordinary blood, but a concentrated form of Yumo's origin blood, far surpassing the crystalline form she had made before. If the function of the crystalline form was to create a small demon, then the function of the origin blood was to create a powerful demon!
like the abyssal demon of demon king class.
At this point, facing the severe injury of the pink-haired girl in front of her, only the extremely strong power of the shadow could save her. But in her current state, with her own power completely exhausted, once she came into contact with the shadow power, she would turn into a mindless abyssal demon.
Even if she survived, it would be no different from being dead.
Therefore, if she wanted to retain her consciousness, this girl had to break through on her own and reach the demon king stage, After all, only an abyssal demon of this level could possess rationality and retain most of their original character.
Only then could she be considered as having survived.
As for whether she could successfully break through, it was up to her own destiny.
After the breakthrough, what would happen to her holy light Physique?
Yumo wasn't sure.
Anyway, she just wanted to give it a try.
"Whether you can succeed or not, it's up to you."
Slowly, the bright red blood flowed down and dripped directly into the mouth of the pink-haired girl.
As Yumo's original essence blood entered her body, waves of wonderful crimson Shadow Power began to ripple throughout her body, and the girl's consciousness was completely immersed in boundless darkness.
With the surge of power, the surrounding space began to twist and distort.
Under Yumo's control, the red light scattered and gradually turned into a red crystal that enveloped the girl, forming a cocoon of rich and powerful red energy.
Inside this cocoon, the pink-haired girl would absorb Yumo's power and Will be reborn.
However, the extent of this rebirth depended on the girl's own fate. Would she become an irrational ordinary Abyssal Demon or a legendary figure like Demon King?
"It's up to your fate,"
Yumo chuckled.
Then, she snapped her fingers, and with several strange cries, a huge monster bird resembling a vulture and emitting black smoke suddenly descended from the sky and landed next to her.
Following Yumo's gesture, this giant Abyssal Demon picked up the cocoon of red energy and flew towards the distant mountains and forests.
After watching the vulture disappear, Yumo turned her head to the snowy ground and, in the next moment, a black mist-wrapped Abyssal Demon suddenly crawled up to her, like a mole, and respectfully knelt down by her side.
This Abyssal Demon was the one that Yumo had sent out to investigate the external situation.
Slowly, Yumo reached out and stroked the head of the fifth-level Abyssal Demon. The scene it had just seen flowed into Yumo's mind along with the flow of Shadow Power.
In an instant, a playful glint appeared in the black-haired girl's eyes, and she looked thoughtfully toward the south.
"What? The Slave Caravan and the Knight Order are fighting in a place like this?"
she exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm? And the emblem on their clothes is...Asumos Church."
