Chapter 127 - A Yandere Wife Uses Her Skill On Xiaoxiao!
It would be best if Xiaoxiao and Lioe helped everyone to fend off the rest of the pyromaniacs. It was why Kyoya quickly used his high speed and ran towards them. His knives let out devilish golden-red light, then the perfect execution struck the pyromaniac\'s back.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
It mauled his body as Kyoya\'s action was not only too sudden, but also filled with thick killing intent. His divine energy conveyed all of these emotions with high damage output as it buried itself deep into his flesh.
Then, Kyoya began to roar himself.
"Let\'s end him together!"
"Yes!"
"Got it!"
The spear and sword went forward with their unique energies coiling around. In a flash, both weapons frontally struck the pyromaniac, then ended his life shortly after. As the flames disappeared from his body, the sight of the mayor\'s shocking face revealed itself.
He couldn\'t believe it…
He just lost with powerful strength that matched the 20th-floor adventurers or even more… It was the reason why he decided to totally succumb to this power and become the believer of a new entity.
He was gathering this belief more to control the power fluently without any influence affecting his mindset. In order to get rid of this \'evil concept\', Yurem had to kill many people. It was satisfying the divine demon\'s belief and allowed him to function normally.
And while Yurem was doing his works as the mayor, he was constantly peeking at his strength coursing through his body. Of course, he was getting stronger by working with the new god who took him wholeheartedly., so his dreams just got reignited.
He wanted to feel the excitement of meeting new people and lands. He wanted to feel the adrenaline rushing through him as he fought and many things that only adventurers could possibly feel by climbing the floors.
The same applied to his two strongest guards. Both of them guarded the promising and beautiful city, but the desire to go higher was immeasurable. Yes, the rumored dead guards were actually the other two pyromaniacs.
Kyoya\'s new party was already dealing with those, and per Lioe\'s intel, this got confirmed.
"We just wanted… to end this monotone… life…"
One of them could leave these words behind to which everyone just closed their eyes. However, the flames of the divine demon were going rampant more and more as time passed.
They were already ownerless, and only Kyoya could guide those… The initial plan was to run away and let the volcano end the lives of pyromaniacs, but their lives were already done the moment Divine Demon disappeared.
They turned into evil creatures that just sought evil and death, so it was easy for each leader to help their people.
However, nothing could be done to this belief gathered around the volcano\'s origin.
That was why everyone began running toward the outside!
-
Boom!
The whole volcano shook.
Its anger swept through the surrounding lands causing them to shiver in response. Every adventurer and monster bounced from those cries; then, their eyes went up. It was because the volcano spat its fireworks.
"If we were to get hit with those, then we wouldn\'t even be able to say goodbyes to our lives."
""""Yeah…"""""
The response made Lioe chuckle as everyone literally said it in the same way. He then hovered his eyes on the red-blue sky as the fireworks, luckily enough, just exploded up in the sky.
It was fine for now, but soon, the unpredicted effects began to appear in the sky.
"Hey… Aren\'t these clouds too red?"
"Will it rain with flames?"
"There is no way it would rain with flames… Haha… ha… Seriously?"
Weren\'t they in danger as the party beneath those red clouds? They felt like running away, but Xiaoxiao shook her head as there was no way for her to run away. There were villages in the vicinity and even monsters calmly living in the forests. She felt like saving as many lives as possible.
Her flame spear pointed at the sky; then, she waited for the impending!
"I will stop them!"
Xiaoxiao knew that her goddess was benevolent and supportive. Her flames showed the path, and so Xiaoxiao wanted to be the same. She wanted her flame spear to be like a spear candle that made others feel warm and safe.
It wasn\'t the first time Xiaoxiao found her \'Spear Candle\' title to be pleasant. No one called her like that anyway, but what came with this \'title\' was also the memory of someone else saying the same with genuine feelings!
That was why her spear lit up in flames, then waited and waited… until the flame rain began to descend!
Looking at those deep red tears, Xiaoxiao knew that they were filled with vicious energy that could make even the mayor himself to be wicked and evil. She positioned herself to throw her spear, then felt the powerful weapon leaving her hand!
However, what flew was not the spear, but flames that took the spear form.
It was another technique she learned on her new path after getting the game system! It lacked concepts in throwing, but everything else was superb to this floor. The flame spear tore through the wind, flame tears, then reached the clouds.
As soon as it went into the clouds, a small explosion popped within the clouds. Everyone could see the red clouds swelling up, then getting purer and more bright.
The flames of longevity were the new concept Xiaoxiao got from her goddess. It was an advanced concept that couldn\'t be really used at whim. However, against the divine demon\'s belief, those flames began to wriggle vividly as if eternally.
"I can do it!"
"Yes, you can."
Kyoya\'s voice suddenly spoke up in her ears. He looked at her with a supportive expression, then proposed Xiaoxiao to just keep sending those flames at the red cloud. It would be wasteful for her to also aim at the red tears.
She would save far more lives by getting rid of the red cloud as soon as possible!
"Yes, thank you!"
"We will also help. Let\'s spread to the surrounding villages and protect them with our armors. Then, let\'s meet up at the festival?"
No one refused such an invitation from Lioe as he spoke with a charismatic tone. Even more, the festival after such a mission just felt too good, so no one even felt like refusing except one person who was Gumba.
This man still couldn\'t get rid of the image of Xiaoxiao inviting Kyoya.
He grudgingly nodded too, only to hide his thoughts.
Then, the forces of Lioe spread to save the surrounding villagers and wandering people. As for Xiaoxiao\'s party, they didn\'t leave her but did their best to protect her from red tears while she focused on replenishing her energies.
It was MANA for Xiaoxiao as she had her game system from the husband!
Everyone focused on protecting Xiaoxiao, then.
In the meantime, Kyoya asked his wife for help. The concept of her supportive techniques relied on the sixth death god\'s divine energy, but the death god himself didn\'t know much about the game system.
He forgot about the party system and even about the disciples that would also carry his energy just because Kyoya had both of these. It was unimaginable for one human to possess two divine energies so pure and blended, yet Kyoya just pushed this miracle forth with his game system!
"How about you replenish Xiaoxiao\'s mana? You can do it, Xaya."
"No!"
"Xaya… But isn\'t Xiaoxiao your friend as well? Why are you acting like this?"
"I don\'t want to help her. She is not my friend, either! All of these people… will eventually show their disgusting sides!"
Kyoya didn\'t feel any lust from Xiaoxiao, just pure friendship and happiness from her when she invited him. He felt like Xaya\'s reaction was too much back then, but now, it just escalated to unimaginable heights.
Xaya was thrashing on his back and didn\'t even allow him to help her. Her hug was tight, but Kyoya already felt this kind of touch many times. It meant that his Xaya genuinely didn\'t want him to support Xiaoxiao.
But he had no way of knowing why.
Because the past of Xaya was sealed within her heart.
He didn\'t know that Xaya feared other women just stealing her husband for many, many years. In her mind, Xiaoxiao became the enemy who would do everything to steal him and take him far away.
It was a different case than with her master killing the husband. After all, the husband\'s death meant he would go to her home, which was the death castle she spent more than seven thousand years in. But with Xiaoxiao, who knew what she would do? Of course, those were just imaginations and delusions of Xaya, but she was so sure of it she couldn\'t stop herself.
Even more, she acted a little perverted by biting his lips in the middle of the battleground! Soft moans escaped her lips then.
"Are you trying to act perverted to gather my attention?"
"..."
However, the husband wasn\'t disturbed by any of those.
"I want you to help Xiaoxiao, our friend. Do it for me, Xaya."
"Husband…"
Xaya shivered as if her whole self got exposed, then she hid her face within his black hair. Her eyes then closed, and utmost silence ensued. She clung closely to him like a little koala without much strength so that Kyoya could help Xiaoxiao with the red flames descending from the sky.
But he felt like speaking more with Xaya.
He felt like it was an appropriate moment for Xaya\'s yandere side to be cured just a little. Of course, it was fine against any other women and people, but Kyoya wanted Xaya to be herself for their friends.
"Do you want to run away, Xaya?"
"NO!"
"Haha, then why are you hugging me so lightly? I can\'t feel you."
"Husband! Lies!"
He nearly died from suffocating. No, for a moment, Kyoya felt like he saw the father in law.
"I am not going anywhere, Xaya..."
"Mmm."
[Xaya has used Soul Essence Stat Replenishing Technique.]
[Xaya currently can restore mana!]
[Xiaoxiao\'s mana has been restored by Xaya!]
"Thanks, Xaya."
"Mmm."
