I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 46

How many names were there in that book?

Perhaps only the silver-eyed youth knew.

“Sequence Six, Balan.”

“Sequence Seven, Walizza.”

“…”

“Sequence Eleven, Kano.”

“…”

“Sequence Twenty, Melmeb.”

“…”

With each name that fell, a door descended.

The person from the first crimson door had already stepped out. He was a man painted with red demonic patterns, like an incarnation of flames. Amidst the golden-red firelight, he was the king of raging flames.

However, contrary to this fiery power, was his unusually cold demeanor. His eyes, like fire, were colder than the ice in the coldest lands.

Yet this coldness suddenly fluctuated when he saw the silver-eyed youth in front of the door. The emotions that emerged in his eyes were like cracks in the ice.

“Hey, Fei, long time no see.” As the doors continued to fall, Kano, a demon of the same elemental species, casually greeted him.

The red-haired demon known as “Fei” moved his gaze from the figure he had finally seen and actually looked at Kano.

“Why did you come earlier than me?” Fei didn’t show any emotion, but the intense eyes clearly revealed a startling oppressive feeling.

Kano glanced at Lu Mi, who was concentrating on calling out the names, winked at the red-haired demon, and then abruptly bypassed him to look at the man who came out of the third door, “Yo, isn’t this Aquimolo!”

What a pretense of nothing happening, changing the subject!

The one called by name was a burly blue-eyed demon. He glanced over here and nodded to his two colleagues.

Then the blue-eyed demon, Aquimolo, took a big step and went straight to Lu Mi.

It was then that everyone noticed that with the summoning, more and more demons emerged from the doors and arrived at Lu Mi’s side in no time.

On the ground, the ghost-faced boy who was looking up swallowed hard, his voice finally becoming hoarse, “These…are they all demon species?”

Although he had never left the Southern Area, he had heard of the reputation of the high-ranking demons in the Northern Area. In short, just as the Asura species had always been in the Southern Area, the demons were the absolute rulers at the top of the pyramid in the Northern Area.

But according to previous information, it was said that the demons were not united like the Asura species. The powerful demon species mostly acted on their own, not interfering with each other… So what was this scene that seemed like a grand assembly of high-ranking demons?

In fact, it was proven that the natural aura and mental oppression of high-ranking demons against ordinary abyss creatures were effective in any area.

Sounds of frantic swallowing could be heard from all over the ground. Whether it was due to the rising temperature around them or not, people’s sweat began to fall crazily, “Damn…I can’t move my hands and feet…!!”

They could only watch as the descending doors became more and more grand, and the powerful aura from different areas became more and more numerous.

And the silver-eyed youth who was summoning from the Key of the Book was as steady as a rock.

Whether it was those demons who stepped out of the doors one by one, or those ordinary species who were staring at him, or even the giants who were becoming more and more courageous for their faith, he didn’t care at all. His whole heart was in the crazy shining names on the pages of the book.

——Stop flashing, stop flashing, or I’ll go blind! (Not)

Under such circumstances, even the demons could not easily touch him. Just like the Asura species who had tried to touch Lu Mi before, they would be separated by an invisible shield around Lu Mi.

Even because they themselves were part of the contract law, this “no offend” contract would be stronger.

——So who would be the first person Lu Mi saw when he looked up from the Book of the Keys, and the first person to talk to him?

“Aquimolo, you came just in time.”

In the process of rushing to Lu Mi’s side, the demons summoned from all directions inevitably had to meet.

The demon who spoke had a pair of pointed ears and a touch of red at the corner of his eyes. It was Walizza, who had previously talked with the blue-eyed demon Aquimolo on the cliff, he was Sequence Seven.

Walizza pressed the corner of his eye, looked at Aquimolo who was not far from Lu Mi, and surprisingly did not show the instinctive repulsion and hostility that was most common among demons.

However, a surprising fact was that Aquimolo got along well with most demons——

This was actually due to him being one of the few demons among many who had an “old father” mentality towards Lu Mi. This reduced the sense of crisis he gave to most demons, so Aquimolo often played the role of a peacemaker among the demons, and his effectiveness was even better than that of Aronfus, who claimed to be the deputy.

But apart from Aquimolo, Walizza obviously couldn’t keep calm and composed towards others, especially when he saw a familiar figure——

“It was you just now…” Walizza sneered, pressing the corner of his eye, “It was you who hindered us when we were crossing the River of Death!”

How could Walizza forget when he tried to cross the River of Death, that sudden thunderbolt that fell from the clear sky!

If it weren’t for the fact that he himself was also a powerful high-ranking demon, he might have been seriously injured on the spot!

Aquimolo looked at the accused object upon hearing this——it was Sequence Six, the demon Balan, born from the lightning.

“Forget it, Walizza.” Aquimolo looked at the silver-eyed youth in the distance who hadn’t noticed this place, trying to ease the atmosphere, “That should be Balan’s overflowing power being guided by the water of the River of Death, he didn’t mean to attack you.”

“Fool.” Balan sneered at Walizza, with an attitude of complete disdain for explanation.

Then Balan directly stood one step in front of Lu Mi, from this position he could block any possible attack for him.

The moment Balan stepped out of the door, he quickly analyzed the situation on the scene from the clues.

…Those giants, if he wasn’t wrong, should be the Asura species of the Southern Area.

Although he didn’t know why Lu Mi would be enemies with the Asura species of the Southern Area, could it be that what Aronfus said back then, “Have the ambition to conquer the abyss and ascend the throne,” was not a lie to fool them?

But no matter what, as long as Lu Mi’s enemies were his enemies! Just like he had been doing all along, he would clear all obstacles for that person!

Like a thunder snake under the dark clouds, closely watching its prey and ready to strike, Balan’s vertical pupils, glowing with a purple light, dangerously locked onto the Asura species, causing an inexplicable chill in the fearless giants.

At this moment, Lu Mi finally finished reading the last name.

He did not summon all the contract objects in the Book of Keys, the number was too large, he didn’t know when he would finish reading them, he only called the demons closest to the River of Death.

However, even so, the number was quite spectacular.

The last door was about to slowly open, suddenly——

Boom!

The raging Asura King suddenly rose up, violently slamming the door of the chosen “lucky one”.

The door that had just opened halfway was unexpectedly closed again.

But the summoning was already complete, the moment Lu Mi read out the name, the door was nothing more than a symbol of the manifestation of the arrival.

But even so, it didn’t prevent the other demons from suddenly quieting down, the corners of their mouths twitching imperceptibly.

They remembered that the last door should be…

“Who! Who the hell closed my door!!!”

The closed door was kicked open violently.

The young man who appeared looked no more than fifteen years old, but no one dared to underestimate his existence, even his actual age and strength were greater than everyone present.

Just standing there, he seemed like a storm sweeping the world, the incarnation of “rage”, Sequence Twenty, Seo!

Seo’s cold eyes stared at the giant, the flawless face of the young man made the cruelty even more eerie.

“Looking for death——” he said so, the red and black arc light in his hand splashed, summoning a pitch-black spear.

“Boom!” The next second, the young man who had disappeared from mid-air had already struck the Asura King’s protective arm with a spear.

A huge shockwave exploded in an instant.

However, the incarnation of “rage” would never stop there, rage, incessantly, burn everything.

Under the power of this “rage”, everyone could not help but feel terrified, fearing to be annihilated in it.

But such an impulse based on the instinct of the soul was forcibly restrained by the other party at this moment, people were startled by the sudden pause of the demon.

The next second, the young man suddenly appeared in front of Lu Mi. Before the other demons could react to this change, the young man was the first to touch Lu Mi’s face.

Walizza: “What…!?” He didn’t catch up!!

The others also showed incredulous expressions, their eyes wide open.

This “child” who was already thousands of years old had cold fingertips, but his eyes were burning with unquenchable anger and brutality. Because of his overwhelming strength, he was listed as one of the “Supreme Four Pillars” in Lu Mi’s book, but he was trapped in this body that could not grow, and the hatred was the source of his power.

Lu Mi just looked at him with drooping eyes.

Looking into the silver eyes of the young man, Seo paused for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed the other’s hand and bit down——it was real predation, without any meaning that humans could understand, as if to truly devour his flesh and blood.

The other demons: !!

“Damn it!!” Seo said almost viciously.

However, there was no pain at all on Lu Mi’s hand, he sighed and looked down, Seo had actually not bitten Lu Mi but the hand of the incarnation of rage himself.

The demon’s fresh blood flowed down the hand holding Lu Mi, staining Lu Mi’s fingertips with crimson, the demon’s physique naturally wouldn’t care about such a small injury, healing was just a blink of an eye.

But like wanting to drain all the depression with the blood, “Why…” Seo looked at Lu Mi intently, “Why didn’t you come to find me earlier?”

The other demons remained calm on the surface, but were heartbroken as they watched this scene——they were robbed of being the first!!

They wanted 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 it weren’t for the fact that there were too many irrelevant people watching at the scene, they wouldn’t have been able to hold back until now to appear calm.

Of course, this has nothing to do with their own dignity and image, but because of Lu Mi. The common lord of the abyss demons will always be dignified, and they are the loyal subjects who guard his glory.

On the other side, Lu Mi did not answer immediately, but calmly helped the other party purify the death aura that had been contaminated from the Asura King, “I’ve said before,” he then slowly said, “you should take good care of yourself, Seo.”

Then, without looking at the expression of the incarnation of rage, Lu Mi closed the Book of Keys that had finished summoning.

This seemed like a signal.

At this moment when Sequence One Jiabo and Sequence Three Alonfus were not present, Aquimolo took a deep breath——this was his first attempt to take the lead, but now he was undoubtedly the most suitable, a qualified servant should not let the king wait!

“Sequence Five Aquimolo——”

The burly blue-eyed demon suddenly knelt on one knee, bowing to the golden figure.

“Heeding the call!”

After him, the other demons did not hesitate, as if they were born knowing where they should stand.

Fei of Sequence Two stood at the front of the line, the door he summoned stood tall behind him, he looked up at the golden glow surrounding Lu Mi, squinting his eyes slightly.

“It’s a new power I’ve never seen before…” said the man who was like a king of flames.

The red smoke giant snake around him was hissing, because of the overly dazzling light, it couldn’t help but reach out to the golden color, longing to get close.

It was immediately stopped by the man, “Not now.”

Apart from that person, everyone thought the Red Smoke Giant Snake was his mount, but in fact, the giant snake was a part of his soul split off——what he wanted to do, what he wanted to get close to, what he longed for in his heart… The man himself could hide a bit, but the part of the soul that had become a “beast” was in tune with his heart, but it was much more obvious.

So the Red Smoke Giant Snake looked back at the man, the demon’s face was cold and inhuman, if it wasn’t for the fact that it could feel the other’s thoughts it would really believe it!

He wanted to do it himself, it helped him do it, but he didn’t let it! Stubborn, deserved to be Sequence Two and still in such a miserable state!

At this time, Fei had also knelt down on one knee, he really had a kingly temperament, so the scene was even more impactful, the robe dragging on the ground fluttered with the wind, making the giant snake want to bite the man.

But in the end, the giant snake could only suppress it with regret, lowering its body towards the golden color in the sky, bowing its head.

At the same time, all the other demons bowed down in unison.

The corresponding doors did not disperse, they still hung high in the sky, echoing with the corresponding demons.

Everyone spoke in unison——

“Sequence Two”/“Sequence Four”/“Sequence Five”…

“Sequence Eleven”/“Sequence Twelve”/“Sequence Thirteen”/“Sequence Fourteen”…

They offered their true names, bowing their heads to the one and only king.

“Heeding the call!”

Author’s note: Some trivia that I don’t know if it will be written into the main text——

1. Seo (Rage) is very old.
2. Fei is among the youngest batch of all the demons, he is a newly born young king of flames (although he is also over a hundred years old).
3. Lu Mi’s initial spear technique knowledge was taught by Seo (Rage).
4. Aquimolo’s image in the eyes of other demons: always the old father, but in fact, Aquimolo is younger than most demons, but because of this, he has gained the “friendship” of most demons.
