Abyss Summoner-Chapter 58 - 56: Turning Against Each Other

The Dark Elf advanced to silver, and summoned the brutal and loathsome Mourner.

Chen Feng was quite satisfied with the gains from this adventure; there were no unexpected turns, and the arrogant Insect Demon was thoroughly suppressed, not even posing the slightest threat before its death.

Dark Elf, Mourner, Inferior Demon.

Extreme allure and horror.

This is a very bizarre combination.

The Dark Elf seemed somewhat repulsed by these two companions, instinctively leaning closer to Chen Feng, though perhaps this was her intention all along.

Seeing the Dark Elf’s movement, the Inferior Demon grew restless, dragging its bloated body as the arms of the deceased on its torso opened slowly, ready for a hug.

Chen Feng shot it a glare, prompting the Inferior Demon to halt this terrifying act.

The Inferior Demon is unintelligent, knowing only devouring and combat in the Abyss. They only gain some degree of intelligence once energy accumulates to a certain limit and they undergo evolution.

Due to following Chen Feng’s orders, its evolution encountered some deviations, as its supposed intelligence boost was contaminated by external factors.

Sorrow, resentment, sadness, joy, melancholy.

The emotions of the corpses roamed freely in the Inferior Demon’s mind, prompting a mutated evolution; its somewhat vacant brain could accommodate these negative emotions—an intelligent creature would have gone mad and insane, turning into a lunatic.

However, one thing is certain: the Inferior Demon is loyal to Chen Feng, and thus this horrifying heretic only has vocabulary like "Eat you..." "Kill you..." for any creature, but for Chen Feng, it developed dependency, constantly seeking closeness.

This is commendable, but maybe not in actions.

Chen Feng sighed, his expression somewhat grave; a hug? Even having personally created this monster, seeing those dozen pallid arms on the Inferior Demon’s body was unsettling.

The Mourner stood nearby; as Chen Feng’s melee fighter, merely standing still exudes an eerie oppression.

Its head was entirely encased in wire, with only a crimson eyeball visible, devoid of any white, filled with hatred and madness towards life.

If Undead creatures are merely worshipers of slaughter, then the Mourner is the fanatic of slaughter.

Having endured torment and suffering while alive, its body is filled with endless resentment; unlike the unwise Inferior Demon, the Mourner excels in combat techniques, delighting in torturing enemies.

It would crush enemies’ limbs, tear off their features, finally ending their lives with weapons or fists when they were on their last breath.

Mourning.

Its presence heralds the decay of death.

.........

Of course, Chen Feng had not forgotten the purpose of this journey; he then proceeded to a supermarket ahead, scavenging before leaving the neighborhood.

"Clack..."

Chen Feng slowly exited the neighborhood, carrying nothing at all; the Inferior Demon served as the best storage cabinet, without adding to his burden.

He cautiously surveyed the surroundings, then forged ahead.

But!

Soon after Chen Feng had walked a while, he alertly heard faint quarreling voices from up ahead—two men arguing.

Advancing to silver, Chen Feng’s hearing had improved.

A quarrel?

Judging by the sounds, even with intentionally lowered voices, it was easy to discern the urgent arguing tones between them.

Curious, Chen Feng treaded carefully forward; after about three-four hundred meters, the quarrel grew clearer, and he turned his head to look ahead.

In view were two young men, the tension between them evident, locked in argument, swords drawn.

"Wei Xun, do you know what you’re saying? No matter what, I won’t agree to your suggestion!" The speaker was a bespectacled man, looking genteel, now seemingly shocked by something his companion said.

"I don’t want it either, but why are we risking our lives while those people reap the rewards? It’s too dangerous outside; look around, I almost died last time, don’t you know!" Wei Xun, with a hooked nose and flushed face, clearly resisted his companion’s protest.

"This is your reason for abandoning them? I stressed countless times, this is our responsibility, I can’t accept your proposition; I won’t leave them out on the street to fend for themselves, not one person!" The bespectacled man retorted righteously, his tone firm.

"Bullshit responsibility, just because of our abilities now? This was given by heaven, meant for survival, not wasted on trash!" Wei Xun roared, his body suddenly reddening, with armor-like hard chitin covering his skin, his pupils transforming to dark yellow, resembling a beast, a massive tail sprouting and swaying menacingly behind him.

At this moment, Wei Xun hardly resembled a human, more like a Giant Lizard, emitting an aura of indifference all over.

"Half-Beastman!" Chen Feng observed clearly from the side; Wei Xun was obviously a professional.

Strange energy appeared, granting many people astonishing powers, and Half-Beastmen were one such kind. Ordinarily, they were no different from humans, but once they transformed, their inner power would change them into a half-human, half-beast form.

There are many types of Half-Beastmen, and some lucky ones even awaken as Dragon Blood Warriors who can unleash a bit of dragon might during combat, instilling fear in their opponents.

And Wei Xun standing before us was not inferior; his nails glowed with a cyan light. Clearly, he inherited the Poison of the Giant Lizard; if an ordinary person were scratched, they wouldn’t last even half an hour before turning into a corpse.

Through some dialogue between the two, Chen Feng broadly analyzed the conflict between them.

Soon, he envisioned the two youths’ scene of venturing into the wilderness to search for food, all in the name of protecting ordinary people.

If I’m not mistaken, the bespectacled guy was also a professional.

Indeed, Chen Feng’s prediction was correct; just as Wei Xun transformed, the bespectacled guy scoffed coldly, and the ground rolled up, forming balls of soil surrounding him.

Elemental Master.

The bespectacled guy could manipulate soil for attacks. The soil was compressed by force, increasing its density and significantly enhancing its destructive power.

Anger surfaced on the bespectacled guy’s face as he scoffed coldly, "Wei Xun, since you don’t intend to protect everyone, then just leave. I will protect everyone. From now on, you need not come back!"

After saying this, the bespectacled guy took a long look at Wei Xun, unabashedly revealing the disappointment and contempt in his eyes. Everyone worked hard to survive today, yet Wei Xun now planned to throw some women and children out of the shelter, claiming they wasted food. He couldn’t believe it—this was the optimistic and promising basketball captain who was secretly admired by countless girls in college.

Today, their four-year friendship in college will end here. Yuan Wen was unwilling to befriend such a cold-hearted person.

"Even without you, we will live well. From this day forward, we are no longer friends!" The bespectacled guy’s tone was resolute as he turned away, giving Wei Xun no chance to retort.

Hearing the bespectacled guy’s reproach, Wei Xun lowered his head, his body began to tremble, fists clenched tightly as if struggling with something.

"No need to come back?"

Wei Xun laughed coldly, lifted his head, his eyes devoid of previous anger, replaced by a sinister malice, like a shark wandering in the sea, staring intently at the bespectacled guy across.

Suddenly.

He extended his arm.

"Pfftt!"

His sharp nails pierced through the bespectacled guy’s back, directly emerging from the front of his chest. With this single strike, the opponent’s organs were completely torn, leaving no chance of survival.

The bespectacled guy’s body trembled, attempting to manipulate the soil, but he had no strength left in him, his neck slumped, just like that, he died.

"Finally found a shelter to withstand monster attacks, and now you tell me not to go back. Without me, how could those useless fools survive till today!"

"I know you’re kind, but I also want to survive. Venturing out daily to search for food, one day, we will die outside!"

"Die! I will live well on your behalf. It’s not me who harmed you; it’s those useless ones who harmed you. I will avenge you, I will torment them well on your behalf!"

Looking at the friend who died by his hand, Wei Xun’s face was bulging with blue veins, resembling a malevolent spirit, devoid of any reason.

Four years in college, it was false to say there was no emotion, but... the bespectacled guy was too kind. Such kindness would harm him; he had no reason to continue venturing out for food for those useless ones!

Regret? No!

"If possible, I would have killed you earlier!"

Watching the bespectacled guy slumped like a dead dog at his feet, Wei Xun’s eyes were filled with tears, but his face was ferocious, like a madman roaring at his former dear friend.

"Interesting."

Just as Wei Xun was roaring recklessly, a lazy voice rang in his ears.

"Who!"

Wei Xun turned around, a slightly smiling face appeared before him...

ps: My girlfriend I’ve been dating long-distance for eight months flew back, completely unannounced, quite a surprise!

This is a Chapter; I’m off to the airport now, the next Chapter will be a bit delayed, possibly until the morning. Remember this owed update, if unhappy, you can scold me, hit me, or ravage me, I promise, I promise...
