Chapter 1616: Chapter 894: Demon City_2

They simply never thought about similar matters, their minds filled only with combat or survival here.

However, during the battle just now, Lis obtained some relatively interesting information.

Lis learned from a Silver Rank Flame Demon that about a thousand kilometers east of their current location is a Demon City.

It’s said that the most powerful demons of this Abyssal Plain live there.

Only the strong can survive there!

The place is called the Desolate Flame Capital!

This Flame Demon had once visited the city but quickly fled, never daring to approach again.

And for Lis, this finally represented some useful intelligence.

If his own Demigod Level spiritual power could help him quickly grasp the information of this Abyss Plane.

But now, he can only gather it bit by bit.

If he guessed correctly, that Desolate Flame Capital should be the only city in this Abyss Plane, which is the location of the Abyss Lord of this Abyss Plane.

Among Abyss Demons, there is not a complete lack of order.

Generally, the Abyss Lord, as the strongest in this Abyss Plane, directly governs all Abyss Demons.

Demons fear the power of the Abyss Lord, and therefore follow their commands.

Different Abyss Lords have different ways of managing the Abyss Plane, but invariably maintain a castle-like residence to showcase their strength and status.

This is also a characteristic of demons, except in very few cases, Abyss Lords do not allow entities of similar strength within their territory.

That would be seen as a threat and provocation.

And the intelligence Lis wants to obtain can likely be found in that Desolate Flame Capital.

Now, upon setting out, he should be able to break through to the Golden Rank before reaching the Desolate Flame Capital.

If so, there would probably be no problem in doing whatever he wanted within the Desolate Flame Capital.

Of course, Lis doesn’t want to cause any big disturbances directly.

After all, this is within the Endless Abyss, who knows if this Abyss Lord has connections with the likes of Demogorgon or Spider Queen Rose. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Before achieving his goal, Lis intends to keep a low profile as a priority.

Thinking about this, Lis didn’t waste any time and directly headed toward the Desolate Flame Capital.

...

A month later,

Lis arrived before the Desolate Flame Capital, his strength now exuding at the Golden Rank.

This, in this relatively ordinary Abyss Plane, could be considered quite good.

The reason Lis took so long was because he also hunted demons along the way to enhance his strength.

And after smoothly breaking through to the Golden Rank, Lis arrived before the Desolate Flame Capital.

Not far from Lis, the Desolate Flame Capital appears like a bright red jewel embedded in the Abyssal Plain, emitting an intensely hot and dangerous aura.

The area of the Desolate Flame Capital is not large compared to those prosperous and magnificent metropolises in the human world.

From a distance, the first thing that catches the eye is the city’s most conspicuous dark red castle.

This castle towers into the clouds, seemingly rising directly from the center of the Desolate Flame Capital, piercing the dark sky.

The castle’s walls are constructed of large dark red rocks, each one emitting a scorching aura, as if containing endless blazing flames inside.

The castle’s sharp, high spire resembles the blade in a demon’s hand, ready to stab any enemy daring to infringe upon it.

The windows and archways of the castle occasionally glimmer with eerie red light, as if countless pairs of evil eyes are peering through the darkness at the outside world.

Aside from this grandiose dark red castle, the other buildings in the Desolate Flame Capital seem relatively low.

They are mostly built of rough stone bricks, their color echoing the dark red of the castle but appearing darker and older.

These low stone brick houses are scattered throughout the city’s corners, forming narrow and winding streets.

The streets are filled with a pungent smell of sulfur and a stench that makes one want to vomit.

The surfaces of the houses and city walls are randomly engraved with some twisted and chaotic patterns, as if the demons had casually splashed their ink, exuding a rugged and chaotic style.

Some patterns resemble fierce demons, some burning flames, and others twisted souls struggling in agony...

As Lis slowly approached the gates of the Desolate Flame Capital, he immediately felt two powerful and evil presences rushing towards him.

At the city gates stood two Golden Rank Balrog Flame Demon guards.

These two Balrog Flame Demons are tall and burly, over three meters high, like two moving mountains.

Their bodies are covered by a thick layer of dark red scales, shimmering with metallic luster, like an indestructible armor.

Their heads resemble goats, with a pair of curved and sharp horns, and flames burning on the horns, emanating intense heat.

Their eyes are like burning coals, shimmering with an evil and fierce light, as if they can pierce through a person’s soul.

Their mouths are wide open, revealing two rows of tusks sharp as knives, with green mucus dripping from the mouth corners, emitting a nauseating odor.

Their bodies are engulfed in blazing flames, the color of the flames matches their body color dark red.

The flames leap and roll on their bodies, as if symbolizing their life.

Each of their hands holds a giant flaming longsword, with intense flames burning on the sword, the blade gleaming with dazzling light.

Their feet are sharp as eagle claws, gripped tightly onto the ground, as if ready to pounce at the enemy anytime.

Lis quietly observed these two Balrog Flame Demon guards, contemplating to himself.

So there are Balrog Flame Demons as guards, the intel acquired recently was indeed correct!

The lord of this Abyss Plane must be a Legendary Rank Balrog Flame Demon!

Lis glanced at the two Balrog Flame Demons, then entered the Desolate Flame Capital after paying a Demon Coin.

The currency used in trades among demons is all souls, and Lis has hunted many demons during this period, accumulating quite a few Soul Coins.

These Demon Coins were not acquired by hunting Abyss Demons, but by invading the Gaia Main World and other small worlds, killing those intelligent beings.

To the Abyss Demons, these souls are the most valuable things.

Meanwhile, the souls of Abyss Demons are hard to swallow, and not tasty.

Lis stepped into the Demon City permeated with Abyss Breath, and the foul sulfur wind swept up dust towards him.

Just upon entering the city gate, Lis saw many demons crowding together in their unique chaotic order, with Flying Demons clinging on the protrusions of the bone city walls, knocking the spikes with their sharp claws, causing a piercing sound.

One-eyed demon-like monsters swung their Wolf Fang Clubs studded with tusks, smashing several Little Demons trying to cut in line into the mire.

Those elusive Shadow Demons shuttled through the gaps, shouting something in raspy voices.

"Silence!"

A deafening roar accompanied by Hellfire descended from the sky, and the five-meter-tall body of the Balrog Flame Demon gradually revealed in the firelight.

Its body entwined with everlasting ghostly blue flames, burning eyes arranged in an eerie pattern on its head, and its outspread bat wings scattered sparks with each flap.

As it raised its giant claw engulfed with green flames, the boisterous demon crowd instantly fell silent, even those Shadow Demons taunting others stiffened in place.

"Lord Dominic has commanded!"

The voice of the Balrog Flame Demon rolled like thunder, shaking the bones on the city wall.

"Garrison’s vermin dared to invade our territory, now everyone who can breathe, pick up your weapon!"

It wielded the burning giant sword, leaving scorched marks in the air along the sword’s trajectory.

"Each participant in the battle will be rewarded with a hundred Soul Coins! If anyone manages to chop off the opponent’s head..."

The Flame Demon deliberately prolonged its tone, watching the greedy green fire ignite in the demons’ eyes.

"The lord will personally bestow the Abyssal Mark upon him!"

Upon hearing this, the previously deathly silent demon mob erupted in a deafening cheer. The demon with a horned lizard head beat its chest vigorously, spraying toxic mist with its saliva; the Shadow Demons entwined into a black vortex, emitting sharp cries; even those silent molten demons raised their arms, letting the lava surge through their muscles. Lis hid in the shadows, watching this demon army about to march into battle, suddenly realizing that for the Abyss, this war is nothing but an exhilarating festivity.
