Bang! Yuuko's punch shattered the Hydro shields on the two Abyssal Bards.
The shattering of their shields astonished the two Abyssal Bards.
If they could have been arrogant relying on those Hydro shields just now, they now had absolutely no confidence.
Looking at Yuuko's fists, which, though small, gave off a crushing pressure like a mountain!
Deep fear emerged in the eyes of the two Abyssal Bards.
They knew that if they took another one of those punches, they would definitely not survive!
However, at this moment, Yuuko was not in a hurry to strike, but instead smiled:
"Then it's time to answer my question, isn't it? If you don't answer, I'll keep smashing, alright?"
Yuuko's original goal was to obtain information about the Abyss from the Abyssal Bards.
There was no need to kill them.
Moreover, killing these two right now would not benefit him in any way.
So Yuuko displayed his absolute suppressive strength, then coerced the two Abyssal Bards into answering his questions.
But at this moment, Yuuko saw in the eyes of these two Abyssal Bards a look of determination to die.
At the same time, the Hydro power in their bodies began to surge violently!
Their bodies, having absorbed too much Hydro power, began to swell rapidly!
This scene reminded Yuuko of when he was chasing the Fatui Balladeer.
At that time, the Balladeer was in much the same state when he self-destructed.
"You guys..."
Yuuko stood up, looking in surprise at the two Abyssal Bards at his feet, whose bodies had already swollen into spheres.
The next moment.
Boom!
The bodies of the two Abyssal Bards suddenly burst open, exploding into intense splashes of water.
The rampant Hydro power formed a huge current storm in this area, sweeping away all living creatures within its range.
It was a while before the Hydro storm slowly dissipated.
Yuuko still stood in the distance, unharmed, not affected in the slightest by the explosive Hydro storm.
As for the two Abyssal Bards, they had completely vanished from the world.
Because of this, Yuuko couldn't help but sigh, "They'd rather self-destruct than reveal information about the Abyss..."
He began to turn his gaze to another battlefield.
Since these two Abyssal Bards had self-destructed, he could only place his hopes on the other side.
On the guy who called himself Enjou.
However... just as Yuuko looked towards the other battlefield.
He happened to glimpse Enjou tearing open a spatial rift and escaping under Lumine's pursuit... At this point, Yuuko wanted to stop him, but it was too late... He could only say his luck was too bad.
Afterward, Yuuko shook his head and walked towards Lumine.
And Lumine, after an unsuccessful chase, was resting and slightly panting in place.
Seeing Yuuko approach, she apologized in a low voice: "Sorry, I let that guy get away..."
Yuuko shook his head: "No need to blame yourself, Miss Lumine, after all, I didn't get anything either."
Lumine turned to look at where Yuuko had been initially, a look of surprise on her face:
"Yellow Fox, have you already killed those two Abyssal Bards?"
Yuuko spread his hands: "No, I originally wanted to capture those two guys and interrogate them for information, but they just self-destructed directly, and I couldn't get anything out of them."
"Is that so?" A hint of regret flashed in Lumine's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Afterward, she mused, "But since we know the Abyss is also secretly interested in the trial, we'll have to be careful from now on."
"Indeed." Yuuko nodded, then asked again:
"Speaking of which, Miss Lumine seems to have some understanding of the Abyss. I don't think ordinary people would know about the Abyss's existence, would they?"
Lumine shook her head slightly, her expression as calm as ever:
"After all, I've dealt with the forces of the Abyss before, so I have some understanding of them."
Hearing this, Yuuko pondered for a moment, then asked casually:
"Then, Miss Lumine, what do you think the Abyss forces want with the trial?"
A flash of vigilance crossed Lumine's eyes, but she still answered the question truthfully:
"I think it's probably for the same reason as mine: to pass the trial of the Kingdom of the Night and then find an item hidden beneath the Kingdom of the Night."
Hearing these words, Yuuko raised an eyebrow, and a surprised expression appeared on his face beneath the mask.
Isn't that the same as his own goal?
The reason Yuuko came to Enkanomiya was also at the Tsaritsa's request, to find a crucial item buried within Enkanomiya.
As for what that item was, the Tsaritsa hadn't explicitly said.
Instead, she told Yuuko a strange phrase: 'When you see that item, you will know it is it.'
Now it seems Lumine also wants to find this item?
Currently, it can be said that multiple factions are searching for that item.
At this point, Lumine spoke again:
"All in all, since we know the Abyss's goal is also the trial, we must pay close attention to the Abyss's movements when we undergo the trial later, to avoid them reaping the benefits of our hard work."
"Indeed." Yuuko nodded: "Then let's quickly pass the trial."
However, at this moment, Lumine shook her head: "No, for the trial, I think it's best to continue it tomorrow."
Yuuko asked in surprise: "Why?"
Lumine pondered for a moment before explaining:
"Since we know the Abyss forces will also intervene, I need to make more preparations to guard against them. Besides, it's getting late in the outside world, and I have other matters to attend to."
Hearing this, Yuuko also realized that he had indeed been in Enkanomiya for quite some time.
In the world above, it was probably almost dark.
"Moreover, according to the trial's content, our chances of success are highest only when we conduct the trial during the daytime in the outside world," Lumine added.
For this, Yuuko pondered for a moment, and after confirming that Lumine was not deceiving him, he nodded:
"Alright then, let's stop here for today and continue the trial tomorrow."
In fact, Yuuko wasn't afraid of Lumine hiding anything from him.
Because the key of moon-bathed abyss was with him; if he didn't participate, Lumine alone wouldn't be able to start the trial.
So he wasn't worried about her sneaking off or anything.
Besides, it was almost dark outside, and it wouldn't be good to arouse suspicion if he didn't hurry back.
After all, Yuuko didn't come to Watatsumi Island alone this time.
The scum woman and Old Man Gui Xiu also came with him... He had to quickly go up and cook for these two hungry women... Thinking this, Yuuko waved his hand and walked towards the exit of Enkanomiya, bidding farewell to Lumine:
"Then, tomorrow morning, let's meet at this location."
Lumine smiled and nodded: "See you tomorrow, Yellow Fox."
She walked in the opposite direction...
