Abyss Summoner

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

The Minotaur officer was dead. For the Demon Legion, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow, signaling the loss of a pivotal figure. Chaos was spreading rapidly, and soon, the army would be torn apart by the devils, descending into utter defeat!

The blood demon stood beside the Minotaur, its crimson body reeking of menace. With a forceful inhale, blood oozed from the Minotaur’s ears, mouth, and nose, slithering like a giant red serpent, entwining itself around the blood demon. As it absorbed the blood, its form seemed to swell.

This demon advanced through the power of blood, theoretically accelerating in proportion to the energy contained in the blood. The Minotaur officer provided a substantial amount of energy, seemingly pushing it closer to becoming a legend.

This was a terrifying opponent.

But Flora didn’t choose to retreat. Her purpose for being here was to hone her Martial Dao through combat, to comprehend her path of advancement amidst life and death.

Compared to a real epic battle.

This was merely a skirmish between two armies. When this appetizer was cleared away, the real feast would begin. Before the decisive battle came, Flora needed a real team!

Trial by combat didn’t mean a brainless suicide!

Once the epic battle started, the battlefield’s numbers could very well exceed two hundred thousand. Amidst such overwhelming pressure, even a legend could find themselves exhausted and fall. To navigate the sea, Flora needed a steel battleship.

If, by then, her followers were still the same worthless rabble, there was a seventy percent chance Flora would remain here forever.

The death of the Minotaur officer was her chance to rise.

But first, she needed to kill the blood demon and catch the attention of the Minotaur chieftain. Flora knew the leaders of both sides were watching silently; if she succeeded, she would be instantly noticed by that legendary warrior!

The contest of life and death was one of momentum and bravery!

Without a commander, the troops would gradually expose weaknesses. Now, with the Minotaur officer freshly fallen, this risk wasn’t fully realized. Demons and dark creatures hurled themselves at the blood demon, trying to shred it with their claws!

To the blood demon, these ants were inconsequential, brushed aside as if it were merely on a leisurely stroll, effortlessly crushing them all.

The battle continued!

Flora awaited the opportunity to strike. The blood demon seemed to underestimate the low-level demons around it, appearing indifferent, perhaps because these minions were no threat. The blood on its body hadn’t even begun to boil, and it didn’t use any impressive, frightening moves—just the most basic fists and legs to test its enemies with death!

To the left of the battlefield, there was some commotion from a pack of agile Jackal-wolfman warriors. They seemed to be aware of the officer’s death, their morale turning grim.

Unlike madmen, the Jackal-wolfmen didn’t charge recklessly. Following them, the Timid Demons couldn’t withstand the devils towering over them. The formation of Timid Demons broke, plunging the battle into chaos!

The blood demon realized something, its skinless cheeks twisted into a sneer, as if guessing the outcome of this war.

It was celebrating victory in advance!

On the battlefield, mental slackness was lethal, but for the blood demon, its opponents seemed weak to the point of disbelief, thus requiring little effort to win this battle.

Pride comes before a fall!

"Now’s the time!"

Flora’s figure darted forward, squeezing out all her potential. This was do-or-die for her. Winning meant earning the favor of the Minotaur chieftain and gaining control of a team. Losing meant falling prey to the devil’s retaliation, possibly resulting in her death here.

If you don’t erupt in silence, you die in silence!

Chen Feng needed a Summoned Beast that could aid in battle, not a kitten that softly meowed on the bed.

Fight when the time calls for it!

Flora advanced, covering ten steps in a leap, letting out a piercing yell capable of splitting gold and rock, launching a "Qi Force" punch pounding towards the blood demon!

"Roar..."

The blood demon was an outstanding warrior. Even with its negligence, revealing Flora’s proximity slightly late didn’t mean it would surrender without a fight.

Suddenly, with a primal scream, the blood demon’s voice quaked the surrounding air; dust changed direction as it advanced, not retreating, stepping forward to meet Flora’s fist, raising its blood-soaked arm to strike Flora’s chest!

The blood demon, of similar lineage to the Bone Demon, living in Purgatory god knows how long, though its morale had faltered, it immediately saw Flora’s weaknesses, forcing her to pull back!

At this step, if it gained the upper hand, everything’s resolved!

However, as Flora’s fist rose, a massive electric snake appeared to wind around her, rising from her feet.

—Boom!

After her promotion to Gold, Flora mastered some Martial Dao techniques, with this move’s essence captured in the word "Boom"! Concentrating all her strength at her fist, she unleashed it in an instant. The air crackled like thunder, making the Timid Demons weaker among them cover their ears, yet blood streamed from their hands onto the ground nonetheless.

Splurt!

With one punch, fists collided, a blood mist appeared in mid-air; the blood demon’s arm exploded, the stench of blood stinging the nostrils!

Luckily, in this critical moment, the blood demon’s body stuttered, a rift formed around it, and it slipped inside, vanishing from Flora’s sight.

Bang!

While it managed to escape with its life, the Desire Demon behind it couldn’t dodge Flora’s punch, body shattered, its enchanting form split into two bloody halves!

"It disappeared!" Flora clenched her fist, cautiously maneuvering, wary of everything around her!

At this moment, Flora couldn’t afford any distraction, remembering clearly that the Minotaur officer had had their head obliterated under these same circumstances!

It was the blood demon’s talent skill, similar to some dimensional traversal, able to reduce the distance between itself and its enemies during combat, catching opponents off guard, delivering fatal blows!

This was a terrifying skill!

The blood demon climbed from the bottom using this talent to reach where it was now.

Flora lost her target but remained vigilant.

This was just traversal, not true disappearance. Unless it chose to leave, if it wanted to kill her, it would definitely re-emerge from the rift!

Yes!

Wait for the moment it reappears to strike back!

No matter how strong the blood demon was, it couldn’t kill her through space!

A thought flashed by, and Flora did something astounding: she closed her eyes. Even though the battle around her was still noisy, the moment her eyes shut her attention doubled, her sense of smell slightly heightened too.

Two seconds passed!

Suddenly, a thick, bloody scent wafted from the upper left corner. "Found you!" Flora’s eyes flew open, slamming a blind elbow backward.
