Abyss Summoner

Chapter 501 - 489: Clearing the Mist

"Watch out, my lord!"

As Chen Feng was still scanning that corpse, Lu Wei quickly flashed to his side, immediately extending his right hand towards the corpse.

"Crack."

A terrifying power, fused with the Devil’s bloodline, Lu Wei seemed to have a special perception towards killing aura, and clearly, he also noticed the peculiarity of that corpse.

Cold wind howled.

Lu Wei turned around, his whole body filled with a Purgatory-like authority, the bones of his right arm shot out once again, showcasing the strength of a Bone Demon, allowing bones to grow infinitely as long as there was enough energy.

Sixth sense is a very powerful ability.

It can provide an astonishing intuition about danger, and when the crisis of death arrives, there will also be a very strong perception.

Lu Wei showed no expression, he stared ahead, just like the corpse lying there was several times more frightening than the monsters he had battled before.

It was within these few seconds that every hair on Lu Wei’s body stood on end, a powerful surge of danger welled up inside him.

His pupils contracted tightly as he saw it.

A steel tail like lightning lashed towards him, resembling the sting of a scorpion, and at its tip, there was a smear of purple liquid.

Poison.

Lu Wei felt a threat from this liquid, even though he had developed resistance towards the majority of toxins, this unknown poisonous liquid still made him feel a bit uneasy.

Lu Wei’s arm trembled, enveloped once more by white bones, but after clashing with the sharp object, with a swipe sound, the hardened bones were suddenly torn, the poisoned white bones were flung away, and then, those bones fell on the ground and corroded it like sulfuric acid.

Poison!

Lu Wei was right, the tip of the spike indeed contained poison, a single strike had corroded the floor of the banquet.

Lu Wei squinted his eyes, staring coldly ahead.

The steel tail was retracted, and simultaneously, the figure of the attacker was revealed to Lu Wei.

As expected, it was the corpse lying on the ground earlier, now standing, gender indistinct because the face had long weathered, and surprisingly it was a puppet, but the oddity lay in its tail, resembling a steel-forged scorpion’s tail.

"What is this!"

For the first time, a trace of bewilderment appeared in Lu Wei’s reddish eyes, even he couldn’t help but be shocked by the opponent’s appearance.

"You’ve destroyed my puppet, so I’ll take your bodies to repay the debt!"

The puppet’s voice was hoarse, like stones and glass rubbing together, emitting a piercing tone.

Compared to the previous monsters and the human carcasses on the ground, this puppet evidently poured more of the creator’s efforts, and no one knew how the opponent managed to create such a shockingly fearsome puppet!

The warriors surrounding exhibited shock, even though the opponent clearly appeared as a puppet, it could speak human language, just like a wooden doll gaining life, chilling to the bone.

The poisoned scorpion tail swung, revealing a bright gleam.

Chen Feng watched everything on the scene indifferently, not moving a single step from start to finish, neither the previous monsters nor this strange being in front of him seemed to evoke any fear.

In a past life, he suffered endless humiliation and torment, his heart long teetered on the edge of darkness, with no ties or emotions, only pursuing power relentlessly, willingly enslaved to the terrifying beast of slaughter!

It was a memory too painful to recall.

However, it was precisely because of such experiences that Chen Feng could be filled with fighting spirit and passion in every battle.

In the past life, he had no choice, whether in cultivation level or foundation, even his own forces were at the bottom, without even a single subordinate that could be called a genius.

Everything was reliant on himself.

On those painstakingly obtained summoning sacrifices.

Now, Chen Feng was reborn, he had enough time to accumulate his own power, if everything had to be done personally, then what use were the subordinates?

Lu Wei was elevated by Chen Feng himself, from an obscure ordinary person to one who fused Scorpion Demon and Bone Demon bloodlines, becoming the leader of the Dark Department, and he had invested too much manpower and resources into Lu Wei.

One could say Lu Wei carried too much of Chen Feng’s hopes, if possible, he certainly hoped the counterpart could one day become a Golden Tier strong warrior, then he’d have another capable person under his command.

But to gain, one must first give, though Chen Feng had given Lu Wei an opportunity, for his follower to continue journeying forward, it was inseparable from his own efforts and struggles.

Battle.

For a Warrior, this is the only shortcut to climb upwards.

Under his protection, they would never spread their wings to soar, it was better to drive them out to experience hardship, and to those who could achieve great things, certainly satisfying, but should they suffer misfortune, it is a result of their skill.

Order does not nurture the incompetent.

Beside Chen Feng, neither would any incompetent remain.

Especially someone like Lu Wei, who is held in high expectations, needing even more to stand alone.

Suddenly, a purple mist shot out angrily, a poisonous gas spewing from the opponent’s mouth, shrouded in purple light, carrying an endless aura of decay.

Lu Wei’s eyelid twitched, his heart shuddered with fear, desperately wanting to dodge, but the poisonous mist appeared so suddenly that despite retreating several steps, his cheek was still contaminated. In an instant, the mist corroded his body, burning countless blisters onto his face, blood gushing forth, tender flesh shriveling!

Corrosion!

How terrifying that the poison could corrode even Lu Wei’s skin; it’s shocking that this puppet controller was also a master of poison.

Elwin witnessed everything, quickly drawing her bow and arrow to aim at the enemy, needing only a few seconds to push them back with her arrows.

But at this moment, Chen Feng blocked Elwin with his hand, "Wait a little longer..."

Lu Wei appeared quite miserable, but he wasn’t fundamentally harmed. Moreover, such an injury might seem tragic in peacetime, but with the accompanying large unit, there were plenty of medical department physicians.

Over time, the medical department is no longer the sparse entity it once was.

Li Siyu, now esteemed as the High Priest in the Order, uses her identity as the Priest of Light to greatly expand the medical department. In such a situation, they recruited over fifty individuals with healing abilities, reducing deaths among severe injuries by seventy percent during battles.

The High Priest needs to stabilize the Order and cannot leave, but to prevent unexpected changes, ten healing professionals with the fleet, three of whom have reached Silver Tier. If correctly treated, Lu Wei’s facial injuries will heal in no time.

Therefore, for Chen Feng, what needs to be done now is to push Lu Wei beyond his limits; only in such a passive situation can he become braver through setbacks!

The steel tail swung.

The person’s attack was incredibly swift, the scorpion-like steel tail swung towards Lu Wei with formidable power, stirring up a fierce gale!

The steel tail grew nearer, and if it struck Lu Wei, who knows what kind of severe injury he would suffer!

Seeing the enemy closing in step by step, Lu Wei’s expression changed, full of disgust. As he slowly stepped forward, it tugged at his facial wounds, making his heavy breaths audible. Yet, his determination was exceedingly strong, like dark thunderclouds looming from his body, creating a suffocating pressure!

"Psst!"

"Psst!"

The sound of skin being pierced resounded as Elwin’s eyes narrowed to a thin line.

From Lu Wei’s elbows, knees, palms, and both sides of his neck grew eight bone spikes, these white spikes resembling razor-sharp edges, with just a glance revealing their overwhelming sharpness.

Compared to the Scorpion Demon’s mottled, ugly face, Lu Wei inherited the Bone Demon’s [Infinite Growth]. Yet, even those prepared for it were still surprised when Lu Wei’s body was pierced by bone spikes.

Lu Wei’s eyes flashed with a fierce brightness, an uncontrollable and chilling killing intent erupted!

Along with the chilling, prison-like killing aura, he advanced a step, whistling through the air.

"Pop!"

A terrifying snap!

A part of the enemy’s steel tail was severed by Lu Wei’s bone blade.

Exerting too much force, the bone spikes in his palm broke, simultaneously, Lu Wei’s body suffered significant damage.

As soon as the opponent’s steel tail ended, Lu Wei immediately transformed into a blood-thirsty beast, crouching low to retaliate.

In an instant, hiding and pursuit, encounter and battle, the position of prey and hunter suddenly changed.

Killing is an exhausting task, especially when faced with such an adversary.

Chilling white bones.

Lu Wei, with his white hair, a creation of Chen Feng’s Devil’s Bloodline, stood quietly here, eight bone spikes, except for both hands and feet, as blood dripped from his loose, dark hair, a flashing obscure darkness, vivid among his hair.

His occipital region also grew a bone spike.

With a face covered in blood, he slowly curved into a smile, difficult yet actual, raising the corners into a devilish, sinister grin.

"Die!"

Lu Wei’s expression turned chilling and prison-like, with a brazen expression matched by a ruined visage emitting an indescribably eerie aura.

"Psst!"

Lu Wei raised his right arm as if gathering strength, in moments, the entire arm was enveloped by white bone, and then he charged towards the enemy swiftly, swinging a massive spike of bone aimed at the enemy.

"Crunch..."

A crisp sound rang out, shattering the body of this aggressive mysterious man...

"Whoosh!"

A frightening scene unfolded, as a figure suddenly leapt from within the mysterious man’s body, landing swiftly a few steps away on the ground.

"No wonder, you can spit poison and control the scorpion tail; the real body is inside, this shell is merely your armor!"

Chen Feng observed the scene, sensing something amiss from the beginning, only understanding when the body’s shell was torn, without a drop of blood, realizing this so-called body was merely a puppet.
