Join the ServerYouka had three objectives this time.
The first was to deal with Helibea and collect a large number of souls.
The second was to take this opportunity to train her master in controlling the Abyssal power.
It was precisely for this reason that Youka had entrusted Delin, a Seventh‑tier Saint, to Xiamiya.
In a sense, Youka’s sudden knockout of the Ice Princess earlier had been precisely to prevent that Spectral Puppet from interfering with her master’s “training.”
And Xiamiya had not disappointed Youka during her battle with Delin. She had successfully drawn out the Abyssal power and summoned a preliminary version of the “Dark Annihilator.”
After that,
Xiamiya, as Youka had expected, fell into a disadvantage against Delin.
…
…
“BOOM!!”
With a deafening roar, a knight’s spear condensed from blood energy pierced through the stars, shattered the energy shield around Xiamiya, and directly impaled her chest!
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!!”
Coughing up blood,
Dragged by the blood spear, Xiamiya smashed down, creating a crater a hundred meters in radius on the plaza.
As the blood spear touched the ground, a massive blood formation abruptly materialized with Xiamiya at its center, continuously suppressing the cherry‑haired girl.
Though Xiamiya struggled, the crushing pressure of the formation forced her to half‑kneel, the spear still lodged in her chest. She glared venomously at Delin, who was wrapped in blood mana in the distance.
Seeing this, the one‑armed Delin let out a relieved sigh, held his spear, and slowly descended from the air.
“Huff… As expected of the Son of Sin—such terrifying vitality…”
Staring at Xiamiya, now suppressed by the formation, Delin panted, still shaken.
Although Xiamiya’s sudden eruption of the dreaded Abyssal power had caught him off guard, even with that enhancement, she was at most at the peak of the Sixth tier.
Combine that with her lack of combat experience and her chaotic attack patterns…
As a mid‑rank Saint, Delin could easily crush her.
He had planned to break her limbs and drag the Son of Sin back to the Tower of Abyssal Sin.
But then,
Delin was shocked to discover that despite being outclassed in every aspect, Xiamiya had one unparalleled advantage:
Extraordinary regeneration.
No matter how many times he severed her limbs, she regenerated instantly. No matter how much power his Devouring Spear absorbed, the oppressive Sin‑Abyss power kept pouring out of her.
It was inexhaustible, as if her petite body stored an endless well of that power.
If he continued fighting head‑on, it was only a matter of time before he was worn down.
Thus,
Delin was forced to resort to sealing. He used the high‑rank magic——Crimson Soul Binding Array—to seal Xiamiya’s movements.
It proved to be the right call.
Bound by the formation, Xiamiya could no longer fight. She could only glare murderously at Delin.
Seeing the cherry‑haired girl’s impotent rage, Delin grinned.
Heh, finally over.
Next,
He just needed to set up a teleportation array and send the Son of Sin to Lord Zholu.
At the thought, Delin’s excitement grew.
After all,
A millennium had passed, and they had finally found the Son of Sin.
With this,
The resurrection of the Sin Lord was just around the corner…
…
However,
Just as Delin was about to act, a fluctuation of Sin‑Abyss power caught his attention.
Hmm? That is…?
Then,
Under Delin’s puzzled gaze,
The cherry‑haired girl, resisting the crushing suppression of the magic formation, struggled to raise her hand.
The drifting Abyssal power gathered in her palm,
Slowly condensing into a pitch‑black dagger…
Undoubtedly,
Compared to the grotesque scythe earlier, this dagger seemed utterly harmless.
At the sight of the dagger, Delin didn’t grow serious; instead, he smirked scornfully.
“Princess Xiamiya, stop resisting. It’s useless… You don’t really think a dagger like that can defeat me, do you?”
In response,
Xiamiya slowly lifted her head, her hollow, icy gaze locking onto Delin.
“Indeed, I can’t win.”
Unexpectedly, Xiamiya didn’t stubbornly deny it. She admitted it frankly.
But the next moment,
Her tone shifted.
“But just because I can’t win doesn’t mean she can’t.”
“She? What do you mean by that?”
Delin frowned suspiciously, glancing around warily.
Hearing his puzzled question, Xiamiya curled her lips into a strange smile.
“You’ll know soon enough~”
Before she finished speaking,
Under Delin’s wide‑eyed stare,
Abandoning her timid demeanor, Xiamiya unhesitatingly plunged the dagger into her own abdomen.
In an instant,
Wrapped in Abyssal power, the black blade easily sliced through her skin.
Blood gushed out, dyeing her already crimson clothes an even more gruesome red.
A wound to the abdomen would be fatal for an ordinary person.
Yet,
Xiamiya showed no sign of pain. Instead, stimulated by the intense agony, her face flushed with pleasure.
“Mmm~ Ah~”
Accompanied by her sweet moan,
A grotesque scene unfolded before Delin.
A petite, beautiful girl was cutting open her own abdomen. From the gaping wound, blood and black energy poured out. Her small hand slowly reached into her abdominal cavity, seemingly searching for something inside. Though it should have been excruciating, the girl’s expression was one of pure delight, and even her rainbow‑colored eyes glowed with excited red light.
“What… what are you doing?!”
Delin asked dumbly.
As a Reaper, he had slaughtered countless lives, but in his bloody, insane career, he had never witnessed such a sanity‑shattering sight. For a moment, he was at a loss, staring blankly at Xiamiya.
Then,
Under Delin’s gaze,
Xiamiya slowly pulled her blood‑soaked hand out of her abdomen, clutching an oval crystal gem.
A gem shrouded in scarlet Abyssal power.
“What is that?!”
Delin’s instincts screamed danger.
Though he didn’t understand what was happening, that crystal gem made him feel an ominous foreboding.
Gritting his teeth, he tightened his grip on the spear, kicked off the ground, and shot toward Xiamiya like a white flash.
But the moment he charged,
The gem suddenly blazed with eerie light!
With the burst of light, a torrent of Abyssal power surged from the Star God Egg. This liquid‑like energy seemed alive, rapidly condensing around the gem into flesh and blood.
As the energy converged, a body materialized, quickly forming a naked, white‑haired girl.
The girl curled up, hugging her knees in midair, her white hair flowing like silver threads in the pale light. Her skin was snow‑white, flawless and translucent, as if it would break at the slightest touch. Her face was perfect, breathtakingly beautiful.
At the same time,
A cool white hoodie gradually appeared on her body.
The hoodie was light and soft, perfectly hugging her form. The hood partly covered her face, revealing only half of it, giving her an air of mystery and power.
Next moment,
Amid a swirl of blood‑colored light, the white‑haired girl slowly descended, her bare feet gently landing on the ruins.
“Mmm—finally~ out~”
As she spoke,
The girl slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful yet terrifying crimson pupils…
