Abyss Summoner

Chapter 539 - 526: Abyssal Trade

"Clang!"

A cold gleam of the blade flashed.

And then a head rolled to the ground with a thud, gushing large gulps of blood, a headless corpse collapsing with a thud.

Flora’s expression was grim.

She didn’t even glance at the headless body and immediately swung her blade again, chopping off the head of the second captive.

The deceased was a Blood Elf, also a member of the elves, inclined towards gore and death even more than other distant relatives.

But this creature that indulged in slaughter for pleasure now found its head severed, leaving a graceful body sprawled on the ground. Flora seemed to savor her role as executioner, raising her blade, hacking down, heads rolling around on the floor, blood had reddened the soil yet Flora’s arms showed no signs of stopping. Her expression remained unchanged as she harvested heads until the last captive perished under her blade.

In addition to Blood Elves, corpses of Tauren, Werewolves, Dwarves, and various other dark creatures gathered together, totaling two hundred and nine bodies, all underlings of Jinbi Gan, some akin to Chen Feng’s companions like Wei Xun and Lu Wei.

No matter how terrifying and overbearing they were, now, all of them were decapitated, leaving no survivors.

A strong smell of blood permeated the surroundings, heads stacked in the center of the plaza.

Flora occupied this impregnable city, for the residents here, it might not be the first assault they’ve encountered, yet this fortress was majestic and sturdy, its long-standing defenses had withstood the great achievement of repelling the Devil Legion.

So, when Flora, a newly ascended Demon Lord, launched her attack, most people dismissed it as a joke. However, no dark creature could have foreseen it, even Jinbi Gan, a Lord always relying on wit, thought Flora would retreat in disgrace, possibly even become his slave girl.

The crystallization of wisdom from the Human World unfolded a glaring brilliance here.

However, instead of fireworks, it was blood and fear that replaced the radiance.

The Barbarian Bulls were strapped with enhanced explosive charges, their might several times more terrifying than ordinary High-Explosive Grenades, thus when hundreds of Barbarian Bulls charged forth, the erupting force was as formidable as a natural barrier.

The City of Freedom fell.

These explosive charges accounted for half of Order’s total expenditures, but it was all worth it as Flora captured the place, not only advancing her reputation but also seizing a genuine military stronghold.

This victory was a miracle; if Jinbi Gan had faced the combat seriously, commanded to defend rigorously when a breach appeared, defeating Flora wouldn’t have been impossible.

But his arrogance and trust in the fortress let his painstaking efforts go up in flames.

After a period of training, Flora’s Demon Legion began showing results, although absolute obedience wasn’t yet achieved, compared to their previous disobedient behavior, it was much improved.

Several hundred High-tier Demons rushed through the breach, it all happened too fast, by the time Jinbi Gan reacted, Flora had already advanced into the city, capturing this legendary Demon Lord.

Jinbi Gan knelt on the ground, with no trace of anger or resentment on his face, instead, resembling a servant, he appeared extremely humble.

Jinbi Gan had been entrenched here for over a hundred years, he had his own way of survival, even though his meticulously constructed fortress had been overrun, no anger could be seen on his face.

Flora discarded her weapon and approached Jinbi Gan, the latter glanced at Flora throwing away her weapon, a trace of brilliance flickered in his eyes, then his expression grew more humble, he declared his intent to offer all his wealth to her, besides these, city ownership and hidden treasures would also be disclosed to Flora.

Jinbi Gan had lived here for countless years, his amassed fortune reached an astonishing amount, if he could reveal the hidden places of his treasures, Flora’s forces could at least double.

This was enticing.

Even Flora couldn’t help but be slightly stunned at this gesture, but she seemed to recall something, and when she reached the front of Jinbi Gan, she raised her fist and smashed it toward his head.

"Thud!"

A leader who had ruled this land for countless years, creating countless legends, met his end in front of Flora in such a manner.

Even at the moment of death, Jinbi Gan’s face still bore a hint of a smile, he understood that no one could ignore his wealth, as long as he survived, there was a chance to rise again.

But what he didn’t expect was Flora’s sudden change, like the conquest of the City of Freedom, when everyone thought Flora would eventually spare Jinbi Gan, she ruthlessly smashed his head down.

Blood slowly dripped down Flora’s arm to the ground, this scene seemed to freeze time around her, both demons and other natives felt a sense of disbelief.

Flora’s heart was simple; she had witnessed her kin at their most destitute, the elder kin, carrying their belongings, would leave the camp. Everyone comforted her, saying the elders were just going to seek food, yet Flora distinctly remembered that those who left the camp, regardless of numbers, never returned.

But now, the lives of her people had undergone a radical transformation, those goblins and Ogres who bullied them now were turned into slaves, exploited for farming and mining.

Chen Feng’s emergence changed all of this, so for Flora, no matter what, all she had to do was obey her master.

The master said, "Uproot and decimate."

The City of Freedom was like grass standing tall on this wasteland, and Jinbi Gan was the root beneath the grass, to thoroughly control this fortress, the root must be completely eradicated.

Wealth was enticing.

But for Flora, as long as her people could fill their bellies with food, she had no other ambitions.

One more thing, Jinbi Gan always made her feel a slight pressure, despite being an aging goblin, even at the Golden Tier, his combat prowess was on par with a Silver Peak Frenzy Demon; time even granted him considerable wisdom but took away his vibrant physique.

Flora lifted Jinbi Gan’s corpse, looking toward the demons and residents standing around, and spoke: "I don’t want to cause much more slaughter, as long as you can stay quiet."

She surveyed her surroundings, pointed behind her, raised her voice a few notches, and said: "I promise, the arena won’t close, trade won’t be disrupted, and one more thing—starting today, this city will have no entry restrictions, besides demons and other dark creatures, Devils... will also be guests!"
