Abyss Summoner-Chapter 278 - 273: Victory Day

If the appearance of the Devil plunged people into darkness, then the arrival of the Angels undoubtedly showed the survivors a glimmer of victory. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Humanity began to fight back.

Having lost the Scorpion Demon and a host of masters, the remaining Devils, though fearsome, couldn’t stir much trouble. It wouldn’t be long before they were hunted down and killed one by one.

Li Siyu had barely fought before. Although she had become a professional, her practical combat experience was nearly zero. When it came time to fight, the young girl was somewhat flustered, instinctively using a few flashy moves.

Light Pillar.

This move wasn’t actually practical. In a fight for survival, every second was precious. The time needed to gather a light pillar was more than enough for the Pain Demon to kill Li Siyu three times.

But she had Flora by her side.

At this moment, Flora played the role of a brawler. She first wounded the Pain Demon, leaving it unable to retaliate, and then Li Siyu harvested the enemy’s life.

Chen Feng didn’t do things that were thankless and unrewarding.

He was building momentum.

No one would associate the current Angel with the previous beggar child. On this basis, Chen Feng could arrange a sufficiently dazzling identity for the other party.

An Awakened from the Order.

A true Angel.

Li Siyu would become the banner of the Order.

Within less than a minute.

Li Siyu descended among the crowd like a deity, not only ending a Devil’s life with one move but also soothing the survivors’ turbulent hearts with her proficient healing technique.

The people who narrowly escaped death were almost dazed by this scene.

Originally, the wounds from accidentally falling to the ground became slightly numb under the illumination of the light. Shortly thereafter, the wounds fully healed, and from the appearance, there was not a trace of injury, which was simply a miraculous scene.

People longed to see the light in the darkness.

Just now, the emergence of the Devils brought about a deep sense of despair and fear. Just when fear nearly engulfed everyone, the arrival of Li Siyu undoubtedly brought hope to people.

In such an environment, people’s panicked hearts found solace.

And this, was what Chen Feng wanted to see.

He wouldn’t place everything on Xu Hongzhuang’s shoulders. Martial God was indeed a dazzling title, but essentially, none of it was given to her by him.

Xu Hongzhuang’s loyalty was indisputable; they were already like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, but she had complex feelings towards Qiao Dong as she was promoted single-handedly by Feng Zhiyong. Trying to make her turn against him completely was not an easy task.

In this situation, Chen Feng had to support his own forces.

Li Siyu.

Unlike Xu Hongzhuang, Li Siyu and her sister suffered both warmth and coldness in human relationships. In Qiao Dong, they were just a neglected group, and it was Chen Feng who saved them. He not only cured their disease but also helped them successfully awaken.

Compared to Xu Hongzhuang, Li Siyu’s loyalty was purer.

The conservative and war factions were like fire and water. Although Hong Jiuling was executed and the other party’s conspiracy was thwarted, achieving complete harmony between the two forces was not something easily done.

Both sides needed a period of adjustment.

And Chen Feng’s plot was to leave his mark while the conservatives were isolated and helpless.

The collapse of the conservatives, Zhou Xian’s death, Xu Hongzhuang’s wavering loyalty, the war faction’s victory, albeit a pyrrhic one; Chen Feng needed to seize this opportunity to truly rise.

This might seem like taking advantage of others’ peril.

But that’s exactly how the apocalypse was.

The strong were entitled to everything, while the weak didn’t even have the right to oppose.

......

The Devils faced slaughter.

Humans, gathered together, began surrounding the Devils from all directions: Wei Xun, the Undead Mage, Flora, the Dark Elf, the Inferior Demon, Xu Hongzhuang, and the Iron Demon Army.

In front of these hunter squads composed of strong fighters, not a single Devil could escape the chase.

The Inferior Demon, due to its special identity, attempted to recruit Devils. After some efforts within a period, it managed to enlist thirty-six little Devils, a Chain Demon, two Pain Demons, and a Desire Demon.

The Desire Demon, a silver powerhouse, had seductive abilities even surpassing those of the Dark Elves.

But more Devils were still hunted down; in the face of hatred, Xu Hongzhuang turned into a vengeful specter, her blade rising and falling, dismembering more than forty Devils in less than an hour, leaving not a single one alive.

"Thud!"

When Xu Hongzhuang, dragging her exhausted body, cleaved the last hiding little Devil in half, all Devils yet to surrender had been executed.

The Iron Demon Guard, covered in blood, seeing this scene, shouted hoarsely, "We’ve won! The enemies are all dead! We’ve won!"

A burst of cheers erupted.

Even Chen Feng, upon hearing these voices, couldn’t help but feel relieved. Only the involved parties could understand the danger, but the quelling of the turmoil signaled Qiao Dong was now entirely under human control and no longer manipulated by Devils, constantly facing the danger of being abandoned.

The cheers spread throughout the entire city.

However, after the cheers, more was the anguished crying. The survivors who originally fled from the danger began weeping and searching for their loved ones, calling out to their wives and children with choked voices. Some were lucky, finding that after some searching, they still had each other, embracing with tears of joy, cherishing this rare reunion.

For others, though, by the time they saw their relatives again, it might only be a cold corpse. A carpenter fell to the ground, embracing a woman whose belly was visibly distended, clearly pregnant.

When the Devils descended, the man was working outside. He tried desperately to return home to protect his loved one. But upon returning to the door, he saw a body with a severed neck.

The man didn’t cry; instead, his eyes turned blood-red, and he gently patted the woman’s face, seemingly not believing what was in front of him, trying to awaken this woman, not beautiful in looks but one who loved him.

It was all in vain.

The woman was already dead, dying amidst the chaos. Tragically, the child in her belly died along with her, never having the chance to see the sunlight of the human world.

"Ah!"

The man, crazed, picked up a stone and began striking randomly at the Devils’ bodies. Blood splattered across his face, but this somewhat cowardly man didn’t care at all.

No one stopped him.

As an ordinary person at the bottom of the world, this might be the only way he could vent.

This is life.

Very cruel but also very real.
