Chapter 46
How many names are there in that book?
I'm afraid no one knows except the silver-eyed young man himself.
"Sequence Six, Balan."
"Sequence Seven, Waliza."
“…”
"Sequence 11, Kano."
“…”
"Sequence 20, Melmeb."
“…”
Every time a name is mentioned, a door opens.
The person who had walked through the first crimson door had already emerged. It was a man with red magic patterns painted on his body, like the embodiment of fire. In the golden-red glow of the flames, he was the King of Raging Flames.
However, in contrast to this fiery power, he had an extremely cold expression, and his fiery eyes were colder than the ice in the extremely cold land.
However, this coldness suddenly fluctuated when he saw the silver-eyed young man in front of the door, and the emotions that emerged in his pupils were like cracks in the ice.
"Hey, Fei, long time no see." The door was still falling, and Kano, who was also a demon incarnation of an element, greeted the other party.
The red-haired demon known as "Fragrant" moved away from the figure he had finally seen and actually glanced at Kano.
"Why did you come earlier than me?" Fei did not show any emotion, but her fiery eyes clearly revealed an astonishing sense of oppression.
Kano glanced at Lu Mi who was concentrating on calling the roll, winked at the red-haired demon, and then suddenly looked past him at the man who walked out of the third door in the back, "Hey, isn't this Aquimorro!"
What a good way to pretend nothing happened and change the subject!
The one whose name was called was a tall and strong blue-eyed demon. He glanced over here and nodded to his two colleagues.
Then the blue-eyed demon Aquimolo took a big step and walked directly towards Lu Mi.
It was then that everyone noticed that as the summons were coming, more and more demons emerged from the door and immediately arrived beside Lu Mi.
Above the earth, the ghost-faced young man, looking up, tightened his throat, his voice finally becoming hoarse, "Are these... all demons?"
Although he had never left the Southern Territory, he had heard of the reputation of the high-ranking demons in the Northern Territory. In short, just like the Shuras had always been to the Southern Territory, the demons were the absolute rulers at the top of the pyramid in the Northern Territory.
But according to previous intelligence, demons are not as united as the Shuras, and most powerful demons act independently, not interfering with each other... Then what's going on with this scene where it seems like a large gathering of high-ranking demons?!
Facts have proven that the natural aura suppression and mental crushing of high-level demons on ordinary abyss aliens are effective in any domain.
The sound of frantic swallowing could be heard from all over the land. Perhaps due to the rising temperature, people began to sweat profusely. "Damn it... my hands and feet, I can't move...!!"
They could only watch as the landing door became more and more grand, and the powerful aura from the foreign land became more and more.
But the silver-eyed young man who was summoned using the Book of Keys was as calm as a rock.
He didn't care about the demons that stepped out of the door one by one, the ordinary aliens that stared at him, or the giants who fought bravely for their faith. He focused all his attention on the names that flashed wildly on the pages of the book.
——Here you are, here you are, don’t blink behind me, or you will go blind! (No)
In this state, even demons could not easily touch him. Just like the Shura species that tried to touch Lu Mi before, they were separated by the invisible shield surrounding Lu Mi.
Even because they themselves are members of the contract law, this "inviolability" constraint will be even stronger.
——Then who would be the first person Lu Mi saw and the first person to talk to when he looked up from the Book of Keys?
"Aquimolo, you came just in time."
In the process of rushing to Lu Mi's side, he was bound to meet the demons summoned from all directions.
The demon who spoke had pointed ears and a tinge of crimson in the corners of his eyes. It was the same demon who had previously spoken with the Blue-Eyed Demon Aquamorro on the cliff face. It was Sequence Seven [Waliza].
Waliza raised the corner of his eye and glanced at Aquimolo who was walking not far from Lu Mi. Surprisingly, he did not show the most common instinctive rejection and hostility among demons.
However, a surprising fact is that Aquimorro has a good relationship with most demons -
This was actually due to the fact that he was a rare demon among many demons who had an "old father" mentality towards Lu Mi. This unprecedented path reduced the sense of crisis he brought to most demons. Therefore, Aquimorro often acted as a peacemaker among demons, and the effect was even better than that of Sequence Two Aronfoss, who claimed to be his deputy.
But apart from Aquimolo, Waliza obviously couldn't remain calm towards others, especially when he saw a familiar figure -
"It was you just now..." Waliza sneered, holding his eyelids, "It was you who caused more trouble when we were crossing the Dead River!"
How could Waliza forget the sudden bolt of lightning that struck him when he tried to cross the Dead River!
If he wasn't a powerful high-level demon himself, he might have been seriously injured on the spot!
Upon hearing this, Aquamolo looked at the person being accused—it was Sequence Six, the demon [Baran] born from lightning.
"Forget it, Waliza." Aquamoruo glanced at the silver-eyed young man in the distance who hadn't noticed them, trying to ease the atmosphere. "That must be Balan's overflowing power being channeled by the Dead River. He didn't mean to attack you."
"Idiot." Balan glanced at Waliza with a sarcastic look, showing an attitude that he was completely disdainful of explaining.
Balan then stood one step in front of Lu Mi. From this position he could defend the other party from possible attacks from any direction.
The moment Balaam stepped out of the door, he quickly analyzed the situation at the scene from the clues.
...If I’m not mistaken, those giants should be the Shura species from the Southern Region.
Although I don't know why Lu Mi would become an enemy of the Shuras in the Southern Region, could it be that what Aronfos said at that time, "My lord has the ambition to conquer the abyss and ascend to the throne," was not a lie to fool them?
But no matter what, as long as Lu Mi's enemy is his enemy! Just like what he has done so far, he will clear all obstacles for that person!
Like a lightning snake staring at its prey under the dark clouds, waiting for an opportunity to strike, Balan's vertical pupils with purple light locked dangerously on the Shuras, making the fearless giants feel inexplicably cold in their hearts.
At this time, Lu Mi finally finished reading the last name.
He did not summon all the contracted parties in the Book of Keys. The number was too large and he had no idea how long it would take to finish. He only summoned the demons closest to the Dead River.
Yet even so, the numbers are quite spectacular.
The last door was about to slowly open, when suddenly—
"boom!"
The furious Shura King suddenly jumped up and slammed the door of the chosen "lucky guy" back.
The door, which had just opened halfway, suddenly closed again without warning.
However, the summoning was completed. The moment Lu Mi read out the name, the door was just a materialized symbol of arrival.
But even so, it did not prevent the other demons from suddenly becoming quiet, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
They remembered that the last door should be...
"Who! Who the hell closed the door!!!"
The closed door was kicked open.
The young man who appeared looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but no one dared to underestimate him. In fact, his actual age and strength were older than everyone present.
Just standing there was like a violent storm sweeping the world. The incarnation born from "rage", the sixty-sixth sequence [Sio]!
Theo stared at the giant with his cold eyes, and the boy's flawless face showed an eerie cruelty.
"Looking for death--" As he said this, a red and black arc of light burst out from his hand, summoning a pitch-black spear.
"Boom!" The next second, the young man who disappeared from mid-air had already shot Shura King on the arm guard.
A huge air wave exploded in an instant.
However, the incarnation of "rage" will never stop here. Be angry, be endless, and burn everything.
Under the influence of this "violent" power, everyone felt uncontrollably terrified, fearing that they would be swept into it and annihilated.
However, this impulse based on the soul's instinct was forcibly restrained by the other party at this moment, and people were shocked by the devil's sudden pause.
The next second, the young man suddenly appeared in front of Lu Mi. Before the other demons could react to the sudden changes, the young man took the lead and touched Lu Mi's face.
Waliza: “What…!?” He didn’t catch up!!
The others also showed expressions of disbelief and widened their eyes.
This "child," already thousands of years old, has icy fingertips, yet his eyes burn with unquenchable rage and brutality. His immense strength has earned him a place among the "Four Supreme Pillars" in Lu Mi's book, yet he remains trapped within this impotent body. The hatred that fuels his power is also the source of his rage.
Lu Mi just lowered his eyes and looked at him calmly.
Staring into the young man's silver eyes, Theo paused for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed the other's hand and bit it - it was a real predation, without any meaning that humans could understand, as if he wanted to devour the other's flesh and blood.
The rest of the demons: !!
"Damn it!" Theo said almost viciously.
However, Lu Mi did not feel any pain on his hand. He lowered his eyes with a sigh. Surprisingly, the hand that Theo bit was not Lu Mi but his own hand, the embodiment of anger.
The demon's blood flowed down the hand that was holding Lu Mi, staining Lu Mi's fingertips scarlet. The demon's physique naturally would not take such a small injury seriously, and it healed in the blink of an eye.
But as if he wanted to let all the anger flow out with the blood, "Why..." Sai Ao looked straight at Lu Mi, "Why didn't you come to me earlier?"
The other demons remained calm, but in reality they watched this scene with deep sorrow and anguish—first, they were robbed!!
I clearly want to be the first to appear in front of that person, the first to be seen by that person, the first to talk to that person...!
If there weren't so many insignificant people watching at the scene, they would never have been able to remain calm on the surface until now.
Of course, this had nothing to do with their own dignity and image, but was because of Lu Mi. The Lord of the Abyss Demons would always be majestic, and they were loyal subjects who protected his glory.
On the other side, Lu Mi did not answer immediately, but calmly helped the other party purify the death energy that had been contaminated from the Shura King. "I've said it before," he then said slowly, "Take good care of yourself, Saiao."
Afterwards, without looking at the expression of the incarnation of rage, Lu Mi closed the book of keys that had been summoned.
This seems to be a signal.
At this moment when Sequence One Gabo and Sequence Three Aronfos were not around, Aquimolo took a deep breath - this was his first attempt to take the lead, but now he was undoubtedly the most suitable one, and a qualified subject should not keep the king waiting for too long!
"Sequence Five Aquimorro—"
The tall and strong blue-eyed demon suddenly knelt on one knee and kowtowed to the golden figure.
"I came here at the call!"
After him, the other demons did not hesitate, as if they knew from birth where they should stand.
Fei, who was in Sequence 2, stood at the head of the queue. The red door that summoned him stood far behind him. He looked up at the golden light surrounding Lu Mi and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's a new power that I've never seen before..." said the man who was like the Fire King.
The giant red smoke snake surrounding him was spitting out its tongue. Because of the overly dazzling glow, it couldn't help but reach out to the golden color, eager to get closer.
She was immediately stopped by the man, "Not now."
Except for that man, everyone thought that the giant red smoke snake was his mount, but in fact, the giant snake was a part of his soul - what he wanted to do, what he wanted to get close to, what his heart longed for... The man himself could still hide some of it, but this part of his soul that turned into a "beast" was in tune with his mind, and expressed it much more directly.
The giant red smoke snake then turned around and looked at the man. The devil's face was so cold and inhuman. If it couldn't feel the other person's thoughts, it would have really believed it!
He clearly wanted to do this, and it was helping him, but he wouldn't let him! He was so stubborn. He deserved to be in such a miserable state as a Sequence Two!
At this time, Fei had also knelt on one knee. He really had the temperament of a monarch, so the scene was more impactful. The robe dragging on the ground moved slightly in the wind, and the giant snake wanted to bite the man.
But in the end, the giant snake could only suppress its anger and lower its body and head towards the longed-for golden color in the sky.
At the same time, all the other demons knelt down synchronously.
The corresponding doors have never disappeared, they are still hanging high in the sky, echoing with the corresponding demons in the distance.
Everyone said in unison—
"Sequence Two"/"Sequence Four"/"Sequence Five"...
"Sequence Eleven" / "Sequence Twelve" / "Sequence Thirteen" / "Sequence Fourteen"...
They offered their true names and bowed their heads to the one and only King.
"I came here at the call!"
The author has something to say: Some little-known facts that I don’t know if they will be included in the main text——
1. Seol (Angry) is very old
2. Fei is the youngest among all the demons, and is a newly born young flame monarch (although he is still over a hundred years old)
3. Lu Mi's initial knowledge of spearmanship was taught by Sai Ao (Rage)
4. Aquimolo's image in the eyes of other demons: the eternal old father. However, in fact, Aquimolo is younger than many demons, but he has gained the "friendship" of most demons.
