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

Chapter 47:

Faced with the terrifying attacks of the approaching abyssal demons, everyone in Galros Fortress, desperate to survive, launched their most intense attacks against the demon horde without any reservations.

Under the command of Krimde,

Dozens of sixth and fifth-level mages from Galros Fortress,

After using enhancement magic, they jointly cast the high-level military magic - Heavenly Fire, which created countless red fire sparks amidst the overwhelming demon tide!

Indeed, the attack had a blocking effect on the abyssal demon army’s charge, causing numerous demons to instinctively let out wails of agony.

However,

At the same time, the fireballs and pink energy shells raining down from the sky like a storm brought unimaginable despair to the knights of the Church of Asumos.

Already facing the chase of the abyssal demons behind them, they were now forced to concentrate on intercepting the fireballs coming from the front.

It was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

After several rounds of bombardment,

Though Mingxi and the others had already crossed more than half of the plain,

The Church of Asumos’s original team of nineteen knights had now been reduced to just nine. The slaves they had rescued earlier had mostly perished along with the knights, either in the sea of fire or swallowed up within the abyssal demon tide.

Before being completely devoured by the horrifying aura of the abyssal demons,

Anger, despair, and helplessness had already consumed the hearts of the knights.

With the abyssal demons’ claws almost touching them and their barefoot warhorses slowed due to injuries, one blonde-haired knight of the Church o gritted his teeth and unhesitatingly pushed the two slaves he was responsible for off the horseback!

The next moment,

The two children, who had not yet reacted, were swallowed up by the gaping maw of an abyssal demon amidst unparalleled despair.

With a ”splat” sound, flesh and blood splattered,

The two children who had been alive just seconds before were instantly turned into a mass of meat and swallowed by the abyssal demon.

The splashing blood even sprayed onto the knight’s cloak and cheeks! But at this moment, the knight had no regard for the so-called chivalry!

The only thought in his mind was to escape!

Due to the reduced load, he did manage to gradually increase the distance between him and the abyssal demons.

After temporarily escaping the demons’ threat, the joy of survival filled his brain,

”I’m alive, I survived!”

However,

His happiness didn’t last long,

As his accelerating warhorse collided head-on with a fireball falling from the sky, blowing them both away...

The number of knights in the Church team was reduced by one more.

’Disgraceful...’

Watching her companion who had died under the fireball not far away, Mingxi’s light purple eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of disgust.

Although she knew that the male knight did it for survival, and if he didn’t do it, all three of them would die under the claws of the abyssal demons,

Still,

Mingxi couldn’t help but despise his actions.

While casting a disdainful glance, Ming Xi’s light purple eyes suddenly narrowed. With a swift leap to the right, she once again dodged a pink energy cannon’s bombardment!

The magical bombardment from the Galros Fortress indeed slowed down the speed of the Abyssal demon’s charge. Although Ming Xi had lost her warhorse, her superb agility allowed her to better dodge the fireball magic’s onslaught.

Even after going all out with her firepower, she further widened the gap between herself and the Abyssal demons.

Having leaped forcefully to dodge a fireball, Ming Xi ’s peripheral vision caught the pink-haired girl in her arms. At this moment, the girl’s eyes were filled with worry.

Recalling just moments ago, it seemed that the pink-haired girl had witnessed the knight’s actions before...

After a moment of silence,

Ming XI spoke in the most reassuring tone she could muster, softly saying,

”Don’t worry, I promised to protect you, and I won’t abandon you.”

Upon hearing this,

The pink-haired girl widened her deep blue, gem-like eyes. After staring at Ming XI’s mask for a few seconds, she nodded slightly and revealed a relieved smile.

It seemed that she trusted Ming XI’s words, which in turn made the silver-haired girl involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

She then gave the girl in her arms an encouraging look,

”You’ll be fine.”

After being encouraged like this, the pink-haired girl’s face flushed slightly, and she slowly curled up in Ming XI’s embrace.

--

A relieved smile and such were, of course, just an act by YuMo.

However,

The slight blushing was undoubtedly a genuine reaction.

After all,

As a grown man, being held by the female protagonist in a princess carry was embarrassing enough. Now, he was even being comforted like a child by a young girl, making YuMo feel like his self-esteem had taken a hit.

Even if he knew full well that it was all just an act.

’Seriously, treating me like a child to appease me...’

But,

’she smells nice...’

Because he was pressed so closely against MingXi, YuMo could now clearly smell the faint jasmine scent emanating from her body.

It seemed not to be an artificial perfume, but rather, the pure scent of a young girl.

Strictly speaking,

At this moment, YuMo’s blushing face and the girl’s fragrant scent were closely linked...

Of course,

Apart from the blushing, the look of worry on YuMo’s face was also genuine.

However,

His worry was different from what Mingxi had imagined.

Naturally, YuMo was not concerned about being caught by the Abyssal demons.

After all, even if she were to fall into their clutches, what could they possibly do to her? They would have to treat her as an ancestor!

No wait...

Strictly speaking,

she was actually their ancestor...

In any case,

The Abyssal demons could never harm her.

What YuMo worried about was actually MingXi’s physical condition.

Although Ming Xi seemed to handle it with ease, Yu Mo could clearly sense the rapid decline of the girl’s strength.

Using multiple acceleration spells to achieve such an extreme speed also consumed a great deal Ming Xi’s holy energy.

At this moment,

With the Abyssal demons rapidly closing in, the frantic bombardment from the Galros Fortress grew even more intense, and the pressure the female protagonist faced soared!

If this continued,

Something bad might happen to her...

’Damn it!’

’This can’t happen!’

’If my protagonist gets killed like this, what am I even playing for? You guards are so reckless! You can’t just bombard everything like that!’

’Are they asking for trouble?’

YuMo couldn’t help but curse inwardly at the Galros Fortress guards.

As she looked at the mages on the fortress walls, her eyes imperceptibly grew colder.

No matter what,

The Abyssal demons were the biggest threat in this world. Continuously being passively attacked didn’t seem logical, did it?

After a cold laugh,

YuMo sneakily glanced at the pitch-black wave of enraged Abyssal demons behind her.

Feeling YuMo’s icy gaze, dozens of the Abyssal demons closest to Ming Xi trembled involuntarily! They looked at their leader with innocent, pitiful eyes.

They had maintained a distance from the silver-haired girl, as instructed by their leader!

”Why is boss glaring at us like this?”

’Sobbing~’

’What did we do wrong? qwq’

’Sobbing~’

The bewildered demons could only rely on their instincts.

After emitting a weak wail, they slowed down even further.

With the close-range threat of the Abyssal demons gone, MingXi could focus more on dodging the bombardment of fireballs.

Meanwhile,

Yu Mo’s gaze met that of several pinnacle sixth-rank Abyssal demons at the back of the horde, and they began a mental, encrypted conversation.

Yu Mo: {Hey, you guys.}

Abyssal demons A: {What’s up, Boss!}

Yu Mo: {See those targets glowing red on the city walls ahead?}

Abyssal demons B: {We see them!}

Yu Mo: {Blast them!!}

Abyssal demons A , B: {Yes, Boss!!}

And in The next moment,

Having received Yu Mo’s order, the five aggrieved sixth-rank Abyssal demons lifted their ferocious heads.

Waves of Deathly Silence power began to gather continuously in their mouths.

Long-range attacks?

Of course, the Abyssal demons could do it.

You should know that compressing the Deathly shadow power in their mouths and suddenly releasing it as a ”fire of destruction”, it was a basic skill for every Abyssal demon~

However, due to Yu Mo’s instructions, they hadn’t dared to use it before.

After all, if they had started using long-range attacks from the beginning, all the knights of the church, including the heroine, would have been annihilated by now...
