Abyss Summoner

Chen Feng felt increasingly convinced of this possibility, his heart suddenly lifted, and his expression became highly vigilant.

"If the opponent truly exists, then they could have revealed themselves and suppressed everyone present, but Gordon didn’t choose to do that. Instead, he went through great lengths to bring everyone together. There might be a possibility, that is, Gordon’s backer, for some reason, cannot descend here."

"Hmm? Perhaps as I suspected, the guests present are the key to awakening the other party. What Gordon has to do is similar to when he imprisoned the Queen of the Swan People, using himself and everyone around as sustenance to summon their descent."

Chen Feng stood on the ground, a buzzing sound echoed by his ears, a side effect of the high consumption of spiritual power. He was struggling to understand the true nature of the matter. If he was thirty percent doubtful before, after seeing Gordon’s state, the suspicion had risen to fifty percent or more.

Looks don’t lie.

Gordon’s eyes revealed an extremely proud sense of superiority.

Contemptuous, no one would bother too much with people who are known to be close to death.

"High alert."

Chen Feng sighed silently in his heart. Even though Luo Si knew about the situation here, he would not pin all his hopes on them. Until the situation became clear, he had to be prepared for both possibilities.

...............

The auction officially began.

This was a grand gathering; aside from the sub-divine artifact, there were many precious items. Even a Soul Stone could only be considered moderate in this grand event.

This undoubtedly stirred the surrounding crowd, among them, even some extraordinary weapons, while not comparable to a sub-divine artifact, were still considered excellent weapons. When wielded by combat-type experts, they could increase their lethality by twenty to thirty percent.

The corner of the stage.

Gordon held a goblet of crimson wine, leisurely admiring everything around him, enjoying the auctioneers shouting vehemently on stage and the hostesses holding items.

The hostesses wore revealing clothes, with any slight movement exposing all their charm, clearly inciting some male’s enthusiasm.

But even so, there was not a hint of desire in Gordon’s eyes. Since dedicating his life to his master, he had completely lost any desire for women. For him, the more important thing was how to gain stronger power.

Gordon’s eyes were like a frozen lake, scanning with his peripheral vision the various powerful figures below the stage, each possessing legendary-tier power.

A vampire in luxurious attire stood there, face full of arrogance, a vampire Duke, also a great existence at least a hundred years old.

In addition, a hog-headed being with a bloated waist, full of fat, stood beside it. Its small eyes were full of lust and greed, but no one dared to underestimate it. Its mastery of certain magnification powers allowed it, during a fight, to inflate into a gigantic monster, able to demolish half of this auction hall with a single blow.

These were all famed powerful figures nearby, even including two Demon Lords who gathered here for the sub-divine artifact.

Moreover, they were also Gordon’s ultimate goal for holding this auction!

To sacrifice such a group of big shots truly made one tremble with excitement, Gordon withdrew his gaze and briefly closed his eyes.

He’d waited for this opportunity for a long time; the specific duration no longer calculable. The original purpose of establishing Dengshi City was just to build a home for his people.

But due to Luo Si’s rule, they had to pay an exorbitant fee each year, involving eighty percent of their annual income. This was terrifying, resulting in some of his people starving to death due to poverty or being killed by monsters when searching for food even in such a prosperous state.

This was not Gordon’s original intention when building this city.

Nonetheless, Gordon dared not reveal too much emotion. He could only exploit other species to send more wealth to Luo Si, then use the remnants to keep Dengshi City running.

Black-hearted merchants are more likely to become rich.

Because of his ruthless heart, Gordon quickly expanded Dengshi City’s influence again, allowing his people to live happy lives even with only twenty percent of the wealth, and built this luxurious banquet hall.

But even so, Gordon didn’t feel happy. Long-term corruption led him to forget his initial intention. He became increasingly violent and mad, and just before self-destruction, he discovered a book.

A book capable of summoning a Devil.

The Eternal Eating Demon.

This was the hidden ally behind Gordon.

Gordon made a deal with the Eternal Eating Demon, finding a way to let it descend upon this land, while it granted him greater power and the right to change this land!

This executioner in the eyes of other races, a savior in the eyes of his people, had but one goal, to let the Gray Dwarves reclaim the rule over this land.

Gordon wasn’t always like this!

He attributed all reasons to Luo Si and the Dark Elves. If not for them, he wouldn’t have become what he was now.

Maybe...only when Luo Si’s rule ends completely will Gordon truly find himself again, and only then will this land return to its former state in the absence of Dark Elf rule.

In a certain sense, Gordon had already gone mad, seemingly doing everything for his people, but his body had long been transformed by the Eternal Eating Demon, turning him into a vassal of a devil due to his hatred.

Yet Gordon didn’t care if he could summon the master; his bloodline would be completely unleashed, possibly allowing him to stride into an Epic state!

This was the realm he yearned for in his dreams; for that realm, he abandoned his original bloodline, transforming into a true devil, but that was unimportant, what mattered was that his heart remained a Gray Dwarf, and that was enough!

Some trembling came from behind Gordon’s neck. He could feel the saliva from those mouths soaking into his neck, evidently, they too were prematurely celebrating for this sacrifice!

He looked somewhat red-eyed at the powerful figures present. Aside from those mouths, even his skin itched with the desire to tear, as if a monster covered in mouths would burst out the next second.

But he clenched his fists, deliberately suppressing this excitement!

"Just patiently wait a little longer... the sacrificial array is being set up, and when everyone is drawn by the sub-divine artifact, it will be the moment the master descends!"
