* Boom! *
A terrifying force descended from the skies, piercing through the layers of clouds and landing on the abyssal fiend's body.
The abyssal fiend's pupils shrank, and with a wave of its tail, it hooked onto a boulder behind it and teleported backwards.
* Boom! *
A huge explosion rang out, and some of the slower imps and low-ranked dretches were blown to smithereens. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with blood and broken bones.
Smoke filled the air.
The abyssal fiend immediately caught a whiff of a strange smell. It couldn't tell what it was, but it was definitely a pungent smell.
Chaos, slaughter.
This was a very strange feeling, and the abyssal fiend felt a trace of fear in its soul. In that instant, even its lips felt numb.
Fear?
This feeling made the abyssal fiend feel disgusted and strange, like a mouse seeing a cat. Its hair stood on end, and a fear that came from the depths of its soul enveloped its body.
Fear?
What a joke!
The abyssal fiend's ugly face showed a trace of hatred. Others might only see it as a monster, but only the abyssal fiend knew where its power came from.
It was the lord of a territory in the abyss, with epic strength and only a step away from the mythical realm. The abyssal fiend had entrusted its soul and faith to such a powerful devil, and the power it obtained in the past had allowed it to succeed in every endeavor. Not only did it gather a terrifying number of devils, its own strength had even surpassed the legendary realm.
However …
Even with such great power, it still felt a deep sense of fear.
Abyssal fiends had an extremely powerful bloodline among devils.
Governors of Baator, commanders of the Nine Hells, and aides of archdevils. Abyssal fiends were the true powerhouses that stood at the peak of devil society. Powerful, tenacious, and terrifyingly intelligent, the ruling class of Hell had been granted a considerable degree of self-determination, whether it was serving the archdukes, enforcing their own laws in the lands of the Nine Hells, or abusing their power in the mortal world. The abyssal fiend's skeleton was covered with a thick layer of muscle, and its skin was as hard as armour. Scales that were sharper than swords were enough to block the most fatal attacks.
Their razor-sharp fangs and ferocious appearance concealed the fact that abyssal fiends were among the most intelligent even among devils. Abyssal fiends were born in Nessus, the deepest part of the Nine Hells. Most of them were Hornahs and Kiru fiends that were directly promoted by Archdevils or Dukes of Hell. These demons would often appear as military commanders in other planes of hell or even outside of hell, but most of them would choose to stay in the dark court of Nessus and serve the leaders of hell for unknown reasons.
For example, this pit fiend was four meters tall, with a wingspan of six meters, and weighed over a thousand pounds.
Abyssal fiends were masters at controlling hellfire. They liked to live in burning areas, such as Avernus, Dis, Malbolge, Nessus, and Fregthos of the Nine Hells. These places were ideal for them to build their own fortresses. Their belief in the supremacy of devils and their iron rule allowed them to effectively build armies of devils, as well as select and promote the Lie Demons that had the most potential for depravity. When training hell's armies no longer satisfied their sense of accomplishment, the abyssal fiends would set their sights on the demiplanes and prime material planes of the Multiverse. Conquering these worlds would be an extension of hell's power and a manifestation of their personal glory.
Even though most devils had to work for them due to their rank, they were still in a constant pursuit of power. Furthermore, if an abyssal fiend felt that the master they served wasn't qualified enough, they wouldn't hesitate to abandon their useless superior. Whether they were masters or servants, the abyssal fiends considered themselves to be the most powerful beings in the society of devils and the enforcers of hell's laws.
Only the most powerful mortal spellcasters were brave enough to summon an abyssal fiend. These devils would quickly and calmly respond to the summons, and appear in front of the summoner with a raging fury against such insignificant beings that dared to disturb their immortal life. Those who weren't strong enough would usually be burned to ashes, and most of their souls would be dragged to hell by the abyssal fiend. As for those spellcasters who wanted to restrain these powerful devils, the abyssal fiends would usually serve them loyally for centuries as a form of entertainment.
But the final outcome of these arrogant plans was nothing more than this: their souls would be corrupted by the abyssal fiend, and they would be toyed with. When the mortal finally died, his soul would become another perfect Lie Demons servant of the abyssal fiend. Their immortal existence and superior intelligence made the abyssal fiends understand the importance of patience. An astute abyssal fiend would often have an army of fools under his command, and they would once consider themselves the master of this devil.
This was the abyssal fiend, a creature that prided itself on its intelligence and strength. It came to this plane with only one goal, and that was to conquer and conquer!
In its path of slaughter, the abyssal fiend had transformed countless human territories. In its eyes, humans were undoubtedly the weakest creatures, lacking courage and bloodthirst. They were countless times weaker than the dretches of the abyss. After seeing it, they didn't even have the courage to attack, and instead knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. What awaited those humans was only death.
The abyssal fiend had thought that it would eventually rule this plane and become its king. But at this time, it didn't expect to meet such a calamitous obstacle.
The dust settled.
The abyssal fiend soon saw its opponent.
The abyssal fiend had already made preparations for a counterattack. Its metallic skeleton was full of toughness, and it was about four metres tall. Saliva dripped from its fanged lips to the ground, making a 'puchi' sound. Evidently, its saliva carried a strong corrosive liquid.
A large coffin appeared in front of the abyssal fiend. The coffin opened, and a body covered in yellow bandages walked out. It was unknown how long it had been buried underground, but the bandages on its body had already turned yellow, and a thick corpse aura emanated from it.
A mummy.
The humans present naturally knew what this was. This was a mummy that had been dead for who knows how many years, but had now been resurrected.
How, how could this be? "
The abyssal fiend and countless devils had already made the humans here understand what fear was. Now, they were all incomparably horrified, and their brains were being bombarded like a carpet bomb.
Everyone sensed an unprecedented fear surging from the mummy's body. That desperate will was like the howling of thousands of ghosts, causing everyone to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
The abyssal fiend's strength had already caused everyone to feel despair. Now, with the appearance of this terrifying mummy, the powerful Heavens in the surrounding were like weak chickens, burying their heads in the sand.
It was like the howling souls of the dead had shot out from the mummy's body, wrapping around the battlefield. Everyone's hearts were tainted and conquered.
Everyone could clearly feel the suffocating energy undulations, and they could even see themselves being killed by the mummy.
It …
Was it friend or foe? What was it?!
It moved.
The footsteps were like the scythe of the grim reaper, causing everyone to hold their breaths, afraid of attracting its attention.
Everyone was suffocating, waiting nervously and helplessly.
Everyone held their breaths. Apart from praying, they didn't know what else they could do.
Behind the mummy, Li Shuo's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched so tightly that they were about to break as he stared at the mummy's body.
He didn't know why, but his heart was beating faster and faster. His cheeks and head were flushed red, a sign of congestion.
He loved this land. As a university student, Li Shuo should've had a happy life if he'd lived a normal life. He had a wealthy family, kind relatives, and a beautiful girlfriend. In times of peace, he was a true winner in life with his excellent character and studies.
However, the apocalypse had come, taking away everything he had, but also giving him a part of the repayment. That was the ability to summon otherworldly creatures.
Compared to Chen Feng's summoning technique, which was limited to the abyssal fiend, Li Shuo had many differences.
There were Samurai Spirits that could split and recombine infinitely. There were also beings from the Star Field whose bodies were made up of machines that possessed independent intelligence. There were also some rare monsters that had three heads or densely packed eyes all over their bodies.
It was unknown when Li Shuo had become the king of this city. He guarded this place and prevented the people here from being slaughtered and violated. The most commendable thing was that he had never been distorted. Even if he could not effectively manage all the atrocities in the city, after all, other than him, there were countless powerful people in this city who boasted that they were blessed by the heavens. When the water was too clear, there would be no fish. Li Shuo naturally understood this principle. Even if there were some people who walked in the dark, but as a ruler of a different world, his contributions to the ordinary people were praiseworthy.
Li Shuo had always been abiding by his duties. He tried to protect this city that was far away from order, hoping to live like this. However, not long ago, an attack from the devil completely made Li Shuo's heart sink to the bottom.
This ruler had never thought of giving up on a single blade of grass or tree here. After all the summoned creatures in the past died tragically, he used the last of his strength to summon the mummy that had been sleeping for a long time in front of him!
"Kill it!"
Even if the abyssal fiend was a legendary creature and had the backing of the Grand Duke of the Abyss, so what?
Li Shuo was the guardian of this place. Naturally, he had the obligation to fight for everyone here!
The mummy's feet that were full of explosive power suddenly stepped out, and the chaotic will on its body burst out in an instant. It pulled the mouth of a Timid Demon with both hands at lightning speed. The unstoppable force immediately pulled the Timid Demon's two split mouthparts to the point that blood burst out!
"Roar!"
After being covered in blood, the mummy became more ferocious and violent. It roared, and a ripple that was visible to the naked eye seemed to tear the space apart, causing the little devils nearby to explode.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were covered in a red blood mist that was visible to the naked eye. The devils roared, wriggled, and let out a burst of shrill roars. The mummy had the look of a man who could hold back ten thousand enemies. Its roars resounded through the nine heavens. Even the ordinary people in the city felt a burst of tinnitus and pain in their eardrums!
"Brave warriors!"
Just as the abyssal fiend and the mummy were in full swing, Li Shuo condensed his voice in his throat and amplified it by dozens of times. He roared to the entire battlefield, "We cannot fail. We have repelled countless enemies. How can we lose everything here? Think of your family and friends. Do you wish for everything here to be destroyed, and then the home that we have worked so hard to create destroyed? "
"These disgusting monsters have caused so much damage to our homeland. We have to make them pay the price. They are our enemies. These ugly creatures have destroyed the entire world, and now they want to destroy our homeland. Will we agree to that? No! We will never agree! "
Li Shuo's voice was like a wave condensed from thunder, spreading rapidly on the battlefield.
Even if the people around him were scared out of their wits, Li Shuo's embellishment allowed them to regain some strength. More importantly, the abyssal fiend's attack had been blocked, giving the soldiers the confidence to retaliate against the devils.
More and more devils were killed. The humans participating in the battle weren't just Professionals. Many of them were ordinary humans, and the only reason they had chosen to stand out was to protect their home.
Humans who had survived the apocalypse were well aware of the darkness of this world. Once this place was invaded, only death awaited them.
The abyssal fiend was silent for a long time, as if it was about to pass away. It stared at the mummy for a long time, and then squeezed out four words from between its teeth, "I want you dead!"
Its pitch-black eyes swept across all the soldiers. Wherever it looked, the air seemed to turn into a viscous quagmire, pulling the souls of every soldier into the river of the underworld.
The abyssal fiend's body began to change qualitatively, bones growing out of its body. On the contrary, its fur began to fall off, and a terrible stench appeared in its mouth. It was like a corpse that had been exposed to the sun for days, filled with a nauseating stench.
"Everyone will die today!"
The abyssal fiend threatened in extreme anger. Today was destined to be a sleepless night for Li Shuo as a summoner.
