"Hahaha! You light-fearing worms dare come to the Abyss Army to die?"

He deliberately straightened his body, making his muscles gleam under the moonlight.

"Do you know who I am? I am Master Blake!"

Before he finished speaking, Blake suddenly surged forward.

His hands clasped the vampire’s shoulders like iron hoops, his knuckles reddening from exertion and veins bulging beneath his scales.

"Give it to me..."

He was just about to exert force when he suddenly felt an irresistible power coming from the opponent’s shoulder.

"You..."

Blake was horrified to find that his proud strength seemed to vanish like a mud ox into the sea.

Even more terrifying was that the vampire maintained that nonchalant expression.

His right hand slowly lifted and gently touched Blake’s wrist under Blake’s horrified gaze.

"Golden Rank?"

The vampire finally spoke, his voice calm and without ripple.

"In the Abyss, strength is the only rank."

Before he finished speaking, his right hand suddenly exerted force.

Blake only heard a snapping sound as sharp pain overwhelmed him like a tide.

His wrist was forcibly crushed!

"Ah!!"

Blake let out an earth-shattering scream, staggered back a few steps, and blood spurted from the shattered wrist bone.

He was horrified to discover that this seemingly frail vampire’s strength was terrifyingly many times greater than his own Golden Rank War Demon specialized in hand-to-hand combat!

"You... Who are you?"

Blake staggered back, each step leaving deep footprints in the ground.

Lis leisurely tidied his cuffs, as the blood-colored Abyss cast a massive shadow behind him.

"Edward."

For Lis, it was impossible to casually reveal his true demonic name, so he gave himself this name.

He said softly, a hint of amusement flashing in his red eyes.

"Remember this name, then you can leave."

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into a dead silence.

All the demons stopped their movements, hundreds of eyes turned uniformly towards this side.

When they saw the situation clearly, they collectively gasped.

Blake, who was somewhat famous in the Desolate Flame Capital, was now sitting on the ground, his hands twisted at bizarre angles, and that vampire hadn’t even moved half a step.

The demons originally crowded in front of Lis retreated like a tide, instantly clearing a large vacuum area around Lis.

A few Abyss Demons who initially wanted to watch the show now also stepped back repeatedly.

Where did this ruthless demon come from?

Although Abyss Demons were crazy, they still had reverence for strength.

Lis surveyed the surroundings, directly walked forward, and came before the Balrog Flame Demon.

Since he decided to join the army, Lis naturally had to show some strength.

After all, in the demon world, great strength was everything.

"Vampire?"

The Balrog Flame Demons naturally noticed what happened here, looking at Lis with interest.

The recruitment had just begun, and at this moment, those standing in the front were all Golden Rank experts.

Yet this vampire in front of them surpassed that Ox Demon in strength?

Interesting!

Even more interesting was the Extraordinary Treasure handed down by the Lord showing that this vampire seemed to be just Gold Early Stage.

A strange vampire, but his strength is good.

Let’s watch a little more!

For the Balrog Flame Demon, completing the Lord’s task was enough.

In the Endless Abyss, strange things were abundant; he was too lazy to bother with them.

"You want to join Lord Dominic’s army?"

"Yes."

Lis came before the Balrog Flame Demon and nodded, his expression unchanged.

The Balrog Flame Demon nodded, noted down Lis’s name, and handed Lis a plaque carved from black rock with some simple flame patterns on it.

"Hold onto this plaque, after the war ends you can come to exchange for rewards."

"Of course, don’t have any sneaky ideas, don’t think about running away."

"Here, no one can deceive the great Lord Dominick."

"I understand."

Lis nodded, his fierce demeanor from earlier undetectable.

"Hmm."

The Balrog Flame Demon speaking was the tallest among the Flame Demons present. His flame-burning eyes fixed on Lis as he spoke:

"My name is Rodrick. When Lord Dominick gathers the army, you should come to find me."

"On the battlefield, just follow me, understood?"

"Alright."

Lis looked at Rodrick in front of him, his expression unchanged as he replied.

"Alright, don’t lose this token."

Rodrick nodded, gesturing decisively for Lis to leave.

Amidst the somewhat reverent expressions of many demons, Lis left.

Is that it?

Lis looked at the black token in his hand, deep in thought.

As expected of the Endless Abyss?

What army—on the battlefield of the Abyss Demons, probably no strategy or formations exist.

Just charge, charge, charge until it’s over.

Of course, I’m probably just cannon fodder in the eyes of Lord Dominick, used to deplete the enemy’s strength.

He surely has his elite troops, like those composed of Balrog Flame Demons?

Lis thought, Magic Power flowing through the black token in his hand.

A moment later, Lis set it aside.

Hmm, overthinking it.

This is just an ordinary token, nothing peculiar.

However, my move earlier must have caught the attention of that Balrog Flame Demon named Rodrick.

When the time comes, shining on the battlefield might garner more of his attention.

Step by step, I might be able to glean some useful information from Rodrick, directly under the Abyss Lord.

So now...

Lis looked at the Demon City before him and began to wander aimlessly.

...

After a while, Lis suddenly stopped, looking ahead.

This was a building resembling a giant skeleton house, constructed from countless twisted and misshapen demon bones, each exuding a chilly aura, as if narrating the bloodshed and horror that once occurred here.

At the entrance of this building, written in demon script was [Vivian Tavern].

Demons even open taverns?

Lis was indeed curious, and after a moment’s thought, headed towards the tavern.

The tavern’s door was a massive, hideous demon face, its wide open blood-red mouth serving as the entryway, with two sharp tusks gleaming with a cold light, seemingly ready to tear any intruder to pieces.

As Lis entered, a low and sinister laughter greeted him, as if the tavern itself welcomed his arrival.

Walking into the tavern, Lis was struck by a rich and pungent aroma of alcohol, mixed with bloody, rotten, and various indescribable evil scents.

The lighting in the tavern was very dim, with only a few eerie green-glowing Magic Fire lamps swaying, enveloping everything in an eerie atmosphere.

The walls were adorned with various demon weapons and trophies, including sharp claw blades, spiked magic whips, and cursed magic scrolls, each exuding evil power.

Lis saw a succubus lazily leaning on the bar counter inside the tavern.

She was dressed in an extremely seductive black tight leather outfit, tightly wrapping around her fiery figure, accentuating perfect curves, with every rise and fall exuding deadly allure.

Her skin was as white as snow, giving off a faint sheen under the eerie green light; her long, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, with strands playfully sticking to her cheeks, adding to her charm.

Her eyes were like two sparkling purple gemstones, shimmering with enchanting light, as if capable of seeing through one’s soul.

Her lips were full and rosy, slightly upturned with a faint smile, igniting fantasies.

At this moment, the tavern wasn’t crowded with demons, only a few scattered in various corners.

They were either sitting at worn stone tables or leaning against the walls, submerged in their worlds.

Before each demon sat a unique drink, not brewed from regular grains, but concocted from various evil ingredients.

In the corner, a massive Flame Demon held a drink made of Soul Fire and Magma Essence.

The drink bubbled and surged in the cup, exuding a scorching aura, as if ready to ignite at any moment.

The Flame Demon tilted its head, downing the drink in one gulp.

Instantly, fierce flames ignited around its body, within which numerous tortured souls were faintly visible, wailing as they struggled.

Soul-brewed drink?

Lis watched this scene and speculated in his mind, then sighed lightly.

Then, Lis headed toward the succubus at the bar.
