Chapter 63: Adults, Bad Women Aren’t Used Like This

If she could transform this vast essence of blood into demonic blood essence using her power, perhaps she could shatter the “Deep Sea Overlord” in one blow.

But the problem lies in the fact that with the strike that severed the tentacle, she found the “Deep Sea Overlord’s” skin to be very hard. Just breaking its scalp might require nearly all her strength, leaving no power to transform the demonic blood essence .

“It’s simple, strength in numbers. Let’s regroup with them first, Elpheline still has her signature magic unused.”

Just as Chu Yan finished speaking, several nightmare bubbles appeared in the distance.

A tentacle lashed out, and the shockwave actually burst those bubbles!

Could it be that these things can be broken?

If everyone regroups, would the “Deep Sea Overlord” smash all these nightmare bubbles?

Chu Yan couldn’t gamble; these bubbles were his target, and there was no time to wait for everyone to assemble!

“Sister Superior, can you increase the intensity of your blessing magic?”

“How much?”

“The maximum!” Chu Yan was confident in his own measure.

Hearing this, Josephine’s expanded ring of blessing disappeared, and a holy light cross sword appeared in her palm.

The slender blade emitted a pure white radiance that illuminated her face, casting her skin in a flawless pallor and reflecting her focused expression.

After canceling the wide-range blessing aura, her blessing could become point-to-point, and its power was even more formidable!

Chu Yan felt an unprecedented surge of power. He quickly formed a magic array and unleashed the strongest dragonkin magic he had learned to date.

“Dragon Flame · Torrential Breath”

A half-meter-thick pillar of flame gushed out, like a crimson laser shooting into the sky, aiming for the “Deep Sea Overlord’s” eyes.

And this beam of flame was not a single strike but a continuous emission, using the most concentrated force to attempt to breach the monster’s head skin.

Chu Yan could even feel his magical power burning rapidly, from full to nearly depleted in just a few breaths.

But as his lamp was about to run dry, the blessing from the Sister Superior recharged Chu Yan’s magic to full!

Seeing this, Josephine further increased the intensity of her blessing magic, a significant drain on her.

Her amethyst eyes gradually took on a hint of red, deepening continuously.

Across the shore.

Although there was no signal to coordinate, Elpheline, upon seeing that conspicuous dragonkin magic, understood Chu Yan’s situation.

“Is this a signal flare for contact?” the beautiful woman pondered.

“No, this is an attack.” Omija was already gathering power from afar, ready to deliver a coordinated strike.

On a nearby hillside, Shanoa and others, who had yet to reach the front line, were already assisting the attack from a distance.

The sword light slashed through, and the demonic blade plunged down.

Evelyn didn’t say much else, already casting her signature magic, a giant crystal ice dragon claw struck at the head of the “Deep Sea Overlord.”

With concerted efforts, a not too large nor too small wound burst open on the octopus head, blood gushing forth.

No sooner had the wound appeared than its edges began to heal rapidly!

From noble mtl dot come

The Demonic Blood Sword did not delay, charging at the first opportunity, wedging its blood blade into the wound just as it was about to heal.

The head of the “Deep Sea Overlord” suddenly twisted, swelling and shrinking as if something was colliding within—

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted, a rain of blood nearly obscuring the sky.

The crimson wave of blood spread out, staining the walls of Elysium City by the sea red.

But the blast wave continued to spread inland, pressing towards the first outpost.

Chu Yan had no time to worry about these things; he had just dodged the blast wave, staggering up from the ground, two pairs of glowing red eyes staring at him.

Both Josephine and the Demonic Blood Sword had fallen into a state of power loss of control!

Author’s note: The word count was more than I expected, this chapter is almost the length of two, hence the delay.

Chapter 67: The Demonic Purity of the Saintly Nun

Loss of control, depending on the degree, presents different levels of aggression.

Those in the “late stage” of loss of control, the tabooed ones, can essentially be considered as extremely strong ferocious demons, retaining combat skills and magical knowledge, but their consciousness has been overtaken by their own power.

Demons merely attack enemies within their sight, avoiding their activity area suffices, but those who have lost control will actively hunt and kill living beings, and the presence of a nearby city means an absolute disaster is coming.

It can be said, their threat level is even more terrifying than that of demons!

Chu Yan swallowed nervously as he locked eyes with those two pairs of red pupils, sweating for his life.

“Are you guys okay?”

“I’m fine, but this tabooed one beside me is not doing so well.”

The response came from the Grand Nun, whose loss of control seemed shallow, her will normal, but she likely felt something amiss when using her power.

Josephine’s eyes were an abnormal crimson, and coupled with her usually stern demeanor, Chu Yan even thought her condition was very serious, unable to control her murderous impulses.

It was indeed a false alarm, thankfully she just had a habitually stern face.

But the reality of her sudden loss of control was equally baffling to Chu Yan, though there was no time to concern himself with it now.

“Lady Demonic Blood Sword, are you alright?”

Chu Yan called out softly, maintaining his distance, not daring to get too close.

The response was silence.

The white-haired, crimson-eyed woman stared blankly ahead, the blood color in her eyes even denser than Josephine’s, her blood blade in hand as if possessing its own consciousness, writhing and changing shape, gradually morphing into the form of some great demon .

Is that being related to her power?

As Chu Yan pondered, the scattered droplets of blood essence around him were converging towards the demon beast formed from the blood blade.

“Detonating the ‘Abyssal Overlord’ seems to have excessively drained her power. I can sense that her power is depleted, but that might not be the case soon.”

Josephine warned, her magic poised and ready.

She had participated in the battle to suppress Theresa and knew the dangers involved. The Demon Blood Sword remained still, simply because she lacked the strength to move.

Now, her power was spontaneously drawing from those blood essences, and it was certainly not under her willful control!

“Young Lord, it would be best to finish her off now, otherwise, once she regains her mobility, the effort to suppress her will be immense, and it might even worsen the uncontrollable state of other forbidden ones.”

The High Nun suggested, already intending to make a move, as now was the optimal time to cut losses.

Had it been a few days earlier, Josephine would have acted without a word.

But now, she was willing to respect Chu Yan’s decision as the lord.

“…”

Chu Yan furrowed his brows in difficulty.

He knew Josephine was right; now was the best time to cut losses. Even now, with no one else around, he could easily throw the Demon Blood Sword into the sea.

Later, he could simply tell Omija that the Demon Blood Sword had unfortunately perished along with an elite demon.

But such an act was truly difficult to carry out.

“Let me think of another way…”

“You don’t have much time to hesitate. If you can’t bear it, I can do it for you.”

Josephine, halfway through her sentence, observed the “recovery” of the Demon Blood Sword, not daring to relax in the slightest.

It didn’t need a full “recovery”; as soon as it escaped its current state of utter depletion, the Demon Blood Sword would immediately show its ferocity when out of control.

Chu Yan’s gaze fell upon the drifting nightmare bubbles, and suddenly, he thought of a method to try.

“I have a strategy!”

“Are you sure your strategy is foolproof?”

Josephine didn’t ask for the specifics of the strategy. The person involved knew whether it would work or not, but sometimes they would wishfully ignore the consequences of failure.

Like gamblers at the racetrack, only envisioning their glamorous victory, completely overlooking the dire straits their future and their family’s lives could fall into.

Chu Yan, questioned so seriously by the High Nun, looked straight into the woman’s beautiful eyes and earnestly replied:

“Just as you, Josephine, are willing to save Theresa, facing difficulties and still protecting her in the City of Bliss.

Although I’m not familiar with the Demon Blood Sword, I cannot accept that a hero who has just ended a battle is immediately ‘settled’ by their own people. When there are still methods to try, why choose the most extreme?”

Indeed, there was one thing Chu Yan couldn’t deny: if the attempt failed, just suppressing the out-of-control Demon Blood Sword would consume a lot of power within the City of Bliss.

The fierce battle would continue to spread the risk of losing control to Shanoa and the others.

But if one only thinks of avoiding harm and seeking benefits, then Chu Yan should have gone directly to the Holy Nursery to stake out months ago.

Sensing the firmness in Chu Yan’s tone, Josephine said no more, simply nodding in agreement.

Chu Yan boldly hoisted the Demon Blood Sword, and upon handling it, she realized that this ‘sister’ had a sturdy body, with clear muscle lines, and only a few soft spots.

The Blood Demon Essence, transformed from her power, reacted, attempting to hinder Chu Yan’s actions, but was restrained by Josephine’s “Holy Light Imprisonment.”

Chu Yan took off running, swiftly arriving in front of the Nightmare Bubble, faintly feeling the Demon Blood Sword’s limbs stir.

In the last moment before awakening, Chu Yan threw her towards the Nightmare Bubble.

The instant she touched the bubble, it was as if her soul was extracted, plunging her into a deep sleep, her uncontrollable power no longer able to act on its own, forced into silence.

“I gambled right, this thing can indeed induce forced sleep, but once the Blood Moon ends, the Nightmare Bubbles will disappear, and the Demon Blood Sword might be ‘released’…”
