Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

76  Chapter 76

This, Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Is this some kind of joke?

Bernard shook his head in disbelief.

As he looked up at the sky, the once radiant sunshine that shone on the Neville Mountains was gone. A mass of crimson clouds had suddenly appeared overhead, blocking the sunlight! It filled the entire Neville Mountains with a strange red glow.

Furthermore,

Upon closer inspection,

What was in the sky was not ordinary clouds! It was an endless swarm of blood-colored butterflies! The sky above the Neville Mountains was completely obscured by blood butterflies!

Butterflies,

Were typical, beautiful creatures.

However,

The butterflies in the sky evoked an indescribable eerie feeling in Bernard,

Gloomy, oppressive, horrifying...

Moreover, their sheer number was hair-raising.

In the instant he looked at the sky, Bernard couldn't help but retreat, as an unprecedented uneasiness surged in his heart. It wasn't just him; the surrounding magicians and royal guards also stared at the sky in horror.

"What, what on earth is happening?"

That was the question on everyone's mind.

However,

It seemed that their questions would not be answered.

Or rather,

They didn't have time to ponder it anymore.

In the next moment,

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Bernard and the others, red lights converged in the middle of the blood-colored 'cloud layer'! An overwhelming, soul-crushing pressure suddenly descended from the sky, bearing down on everyone.

In an instant,

Bernard, the dignified Third Prince, spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees in agony! The same happened to the others with insufficient power!

"This, Archmage! What, what is happening?!"

The sudden anomaly jolted Bernard back to reality.

Then,

The terrified Third Prince quickly turned to Jace for answers.

However,

Jace could no longer concern himself with the safety of the Third Prince.

Because,

The moment Bernard fell to his knees, the blood-colored 'cloud' began to flicker with a terrifying, crimson thunder. Overwhelming power gathered within it, continuously compressing and condensing! Jek was horrified just by sensing the aftereffects of the red thunder.

The Archmagenquickly realized that,

If this crimson thunderstruck, all of them would undoubtedly perish!

Their only options were,

Either to use all their haste magic to escape alone or take the initiative to attack and break the accumulating power of this mysterious force!

Obviously,

As the royal Archmage, Jace chose to fulfill his responsibility!

He would protect the members of the royal family!

In the next moment,

Surrounded by brown magic, Jace abruptly swung his staff and charged resolutely toward the sky!

Unfortunately,

Compared to the speed at which the crimson thunder was accumulating, Jace's charge was simply insignificant.

"Boom!!!"

With a flash of lightning and a furious burst of red light!

Dozens of crimson thunders suddenly descended from the sky!

Under the horrified and desperate gazes of Bernard and the others, Jace was struck by the thunderbolts! In an instant, Jace's white magical barrier shattered completely! He himself, engulfed in immeasurable pain, was hit by the crimson thunder and turned into ashes, dispersing with the wind...

He couldn't even let out a cry of anguish.

"How, how could, how could this happen?!!"

Witnessing this, Bernard's courage shattered, and he remained kneeling on the ground, unable to move. His expression was twisted and comical due to extreme fear.

As for the guards around the Third Prince who barely had the strength to move, they desperately rushed to his side, attempting to take the dazed prince and flee the scene.

However,

The crimson thunder did not give them time to escape.

Suddenly,

Amidst waves of desperate cries,

Dozens of beams of thunderous light continued to converge, abruptly forming a giant red energy sword!

Surrounded by countless blood-colored butterflies,

It came crashing down!

In the next instant,

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by earth-shattering rumbling, the crimson thunder scattered, and the terrifying force of the shadows rapidly spread!

The blood-colored light pierced the sky!

At that moment, the entire Neville Mountain Range became history...

--

As the red light soared into the sky,

Inside Galros Fortress,

Yumo nonchalantly shook her hand. The anger and killing intent in her eyes seemed to dissipate along with the receding crimson light around her.

That should be enough,

'A little punishment is enough...'

Sigh,

Yumo couldn't help but sigh in her heart,

Feeling a little conflicted,

After all,

Those she had obliterated into nothingness seemed to be the elite troops of the Snow Night Empire, right? There was even a Seventh-rank Saint...

Under normal circumstances, in order to counterattack the Abyssal Demons in the future, Yumo should have preserved these talents capable of fighting against the demons and nurtured them. However, she seemed to have lost control of herself in anger and killing intent earlier, and she attacked them directly to avenge her daughter...

She should have at least spared the Seventh-rank one,

Sigh,

Never mind, there's no use thinking about it now...

Yumo could only helplessly shake her head.

However,

At the same time,

Yumo thoughtfully looked at the unconscious Mengxi and the Bai Yanluo, who had her head buried in the ground nearby.

These two were undoubtedly important figures within the Church of Asumos and were key players in fighting against the Abyssal Demons in the future.

Yet, the Snow Night Empire had thrown such a weapon at them?

Did they not know they were inside Garros Fortress?

Or did they know and...

Still, choosing to attack?

Yumo's crimson eyes narrowed slightly as she recalled the words of Xiao from before. The human society, due to the decline in the invasion of the Abyssal Demons in recent centuries, had lost their sense of external crisis. The major forces within each empire had begun to engage in internal strife to varying degrees...

Now it seemed,

The severity of this infighting was even higher than she had previously imagined.

"No, this won't do."

To put it nicely,

The human forces were already weak as it was.

If they didn't consolidate and unite, they would never be able to deal with her family's Abyssal Demons.

Perhaps,

While helping the 'protagonist group' increase their strength, she should also try to unify the forces on the Ancita Continent.

If anyone caused trouble, she'd feed them to the Abyssal Demons!

Those mages just now might have been troublemakers! They deserved to be eliminated!

"Yes! That's right."

After thinking this through, Yumo suddenly felt much more at ease.

Then,

The dark-haired girl looked slightly worriedly in the direction of the previous explosion caused by another magic energy fission bomb. At this moment, the crimson hellfire that had covered the plains and a large swath of forest was dispersed by a gust of wind.

In the next moment,

Accompanied by the flickering of emerald light, the gray-haired little girl flapped her wings, slowly descending from the sky, and landed in front of Yumo.

Undoubtedly,

The little girl was Liyu.

At this moment, Liyu held in her arms a fluffy, soft little white wolf (dog??), which was actually the shrunken Li Mo.

As the little white wolf continued to take advantage of Liyu's embrace, it suddenly raised its head upon sensing Yumo's presence, stuck out its tongue, and looked at Yumo with a charming expression, instantly easing her worries.

"It seems that everything is fine, huh?"

Smiling, Yumo reached out and rubbed the little white wolf's head.

Liyu, who was holding her sister, also gave a slight smile, her expression full of relief.

"Yes, Mother, everything is fine. She was just caught off guard, suddenly being bombed and suffering severe burns and significant consumption of energy. As for the burns, I've already healed them using 'Tears of Nature,' and as for the energy consumption, it will gradually recover."

"Mm,"

Upon hearing Liyu's explanation, Yumo nodded her head in satisfaction.

As for the little white wolf? It seemed to become even more comfortable with Yumo's touch and couldn't help but wag its tail, causing Yumo's brows to twitch involuntarily as a hint of doubt emerged in her crimson eyes.

"Speaking of which, isn't your sister, acting a bit silly again?"

"Ah, well..."

Looking down at the little white wolf in her arms, Liyu sighed helplessly.

"It seems to be because her head was directly hit by the explosion just now, causing a concussion. Like before, she's temporarily entered a 'silly dog' mode..."

Yumo: "..."
