Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead Chapter 54 - 54

Chapter 54:

In this matter, Limo's judgnt could be considered quite accurate,

with Limo's unleashed power in one strike, Yumo's mood had plumted into the depths of despair...

Limo's Annihilation beam was aid at the central axis of Galros Fortress, instantly transforming the middle third of the fortress into a hellish inferno.

This not only reduced the fortress's defensive capabilities by more than half but also left Yumo feeling rather low.

However,

Yumo's foul mood wasn't because she was directly hit by Limo's Annihilation skill. Instead, she was infuriated by the reckless actions of that darn girl! Yumo had explicitly told her not to act impulsively before! Why did she act on her own accord again?! Why couldn't she just behave?!

'That...that brat, is she itching for a beating?!'

It seed that if she wasn't punished every three days, she'd be up to no good!

Rarely seen anger flickered in Yumo's deep blue eyes,

Although Yumo had put up with Limo secretly eating raw at and commanding Abyssal demons to charge at ngxi,

This ti was different. Even after Yumo had warned her, Limo had still defied her in her presence! She had directly attacked Galros Fortress with the Annihilation skill! Was she staging a rebellion?!

Of course,

Yumo wasn't worried about the heroine dying under Limo's attack because she could easily block Limo's attack as long as she was there.

However, the issue was,

If Yumo stepped in to save the day, her previous disguise would be instantly exposed! She wanted to keep playing the role of a frail girl, hiding by the heroine's side and closely observing the Chosen heroine! If she were exposed like that, Yumo would be frustrated to death!

She had even been taken advantage of by the heroine many tis to convincingly play the role of a slave girl! If she were exposed just like that, it would be a total loss!!

Furthermore...

'With that darn girl's blast, the fortress is ruined, isn't it...?'

Gazing at the raging inferno in the distance, and the Abyssal demon army pouring through the breached walls, Yumo's eyes narrowed, filled with disappointnt.

Originally, she wanted to test how long the broken barrier could withstand the attacks of ordinary Abyssal demons, how effective the defenders' combat capabilities were, how well the rear echelon and frontlines coordinated, and how long the fortress could hold out...

But after Limo's bombardnt, most of Yumo's questions were left unanswered.

Her plans were utterly ruined!!!

With this in mind,

Yumo maintained a facade of fear and anxiety on the outside, but on the inside, she was extrely annoyed.

'That darn girl!'

'It seed like she had been pampered too much!'

'She dared to act so recklessly! Just wait until they got ho; Yumo would spank her until her bottom blossod!'

Yumo grumbled furiously in her heart.

anwhile, the snow-white giant wolf approaching Galros Fortress in the distance suddenly felt a chill, and an ominous premonition erged in Limo's mind...

--

On the other hand,

While Yumo was contemplating how to discipline her rebellious daughter after returning ho,

Her body had already begun to tremble slightly out of anger.

However, ngxi mistook Yumo's trembling as an expression of fear and anxiety. To comfort the agitated slave girl, ngxi gently raised her hand and rubbed Yumo's head.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Yumo: ...

Seeing that the heroine misunderstood her, Yumo's deep blue eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions.

Well,

Having lived for so long, she had always been the one patting others' heads. Suddenly, she was the one being patted by a young girl, which felt quite strange...

However,

It seed quite comfortable...

Of course, aside from this, after being comforted by ngxi's head pat, Yumo once again slipped into her "actress" mode, pretending to be genuinely cald by ngxi's reassurances.

But while Yumo had cald down, the Asumos Church knights around ngxi could no longer maintain their composure, especially after sensing the imnse power of Annihilation within the red beam. Their ntal state was on the verge of collapse.

They knew very well that the terrifying creature that launched the attack was not sothing they, as ordinary knights, could fight.

Looking at the tragic scene reminiscent of purgatory,

Listening to the continuous, heart-wrenching screams and the increasingly closer roars of ferocious beasts,

The faces of the Asumos Church knights were already twisted with fear.

At this mont, almost every lifeform within Galros Fortress,

Except for Yumo, who was holding ngxi's hand, was engulfed by fear. The fortress seed to be shrouded in a layer of pitch-black veil of despair, filled with an unparalleled sense of oppression.

But unlike the Galros Fortress defenders, these few Asumos Church knights had nothing to protect in the Northern Territory.

Their families were not here, nor were their properties.

Therefore,

They had no intention of holding onto this fortress like the Snowy Night Empire's soldiers, waiting for the unknown arrival of reinforcents.

'Retreat,'

That was their only thought!

Thinking of this, the surviving knights hurriedly approached ngxi, and one of them, a black-haired man, couldn't help but blurt out:

"Captain! We... we should retreat imdiately! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!!"

"Yes, Captain! That creature outside is very likely an Abyssal Demon of Demon king rank! This fortress is dood!" Another knight, with braided hair, also chid in fearfully.

As the two knights spoke,

Galona also slowly walked to ngxi's side,

"Captain, we should retreat imdiately. We cannot deal with that kind of monster. The Galros Fortress is most likely dood. You are the Chosen One, and you must not be hard."

Upon hearing this,

ngxi didn't imdiately respond to her teammates' words but gazed thoughtfully at the shattered walls in the distance and the tens of thousands of Abyssal Demons pouring in.

Her light purple eyes narrowed slightly beneath the mask.

Seeing this,

Galona couldn't help but show her anxious expression,

"Captain! These people attacked us before! They're all a bunch of covenant-breakers! No, it's not worth using the 'Miracle' for them!"

'??'

'Huh?'

'Miracle? What is that? The heroine's trump card?'

Listening to Garona's words, Yumo's deep blue eyes showed a hint of confusion, and her heart was filled with curiosity.

Later,

Perhaps she could pretend to be naive and ask about what the 'Miracle' actually is.

Thinking of this, Yumo playfully looked at the silver-haired girl holding her hand.

At that mont,

Yumo's eyebrows furrowed as she suddenly sensed an unusual presence,

'This fortress is really filled with all sorts of creatures...'

At this mont, Yumo revealed a sowhat aningful expression.

--

On the other side,

After contemplating for a mont, ngxi nodded slightly, agreeing with Galona and the others' opinions.

Indeed,

Staying here had beco utterly pointless.

The sudden appearance of a Demon king, along with the delayed arrival of reinforcents, sealed the inevitable fate of the Galros Fortress. Retreating to preserve the surviving forces was undoubtedly the right decision...

Although it seed sowhat unfair to the defenders...

'???!!'

'Huh?'

'What?!'

However, just as ngxi was about to issue the order to retreat, a powerful wave of energy suddenly intruded into her perception, accompanied by a chilling murderous intent aid directly at her! The bone-chilling cold made the silver-haired girl shiver!

The girl, startled, looked back,

And in the next instant,

A black figure wrapped in eerie blue fighting spirit, like a ghost, suddenly appeared in ngxi's line of sight! Under the girl's intense gaze, the figure showed no rcy as it brandished a short scythe in its hand, aiming for ngxi's slender, alluring neck...
