Chapter 283 Chapter282-Battle of the Summoned

Ghana panted heavily, his three eyes intently fixed on John, seemingly attempting to pierce through him with a gaze that sought to discern every hidden secret.

He never imagined that he would witness the power of the Chaos ORDER in another, an authority that had once solely belonged to the great Emperor Azazel, the Abyssal ruler he revered most.

The true master of the Abyss, and the only one the Soul-Devouring Devil Ghana ever acknowledged.

It was this unwavering belief that made Ghana intolerant of Bael, the leader of the 72 abyssal Devils, usurping the supreme throne of the Abyss.

"Speak quickly, have you met Emperor Azazel? What happened to him? Why has his Soul Seed started to grow autonomously? Has something befallen him?"

John tilted his head slightly, looking at Ghana with a touch of surprise in his eyes.

The Devil's demeanor at this moment evoked a sense of wonder within him.

Little had he expected that Azazel, sealed in the Godslayer Temple for millennia, still had such devout followers in the Abyss.

The previous Desire Devil Mammon had shown similar sentiments, and now Ghana exhibited the same attitude.

"I'll repeat myself: if you want answers, defeat me first!" John's casual tone further infuriated Ghana.

Yet, the Devil found himself at a loss, knowing deep down that the man before him was unlike any other human.

The strength he wielded surpassed Ghana's wildest imaginings.

He even doubted whether, at his prime, he could overcome this formidable adversary.

At this juncture, Ghana could only place his hopes on the Dark Harvester Venom he had summoned, hoping its threat to the nearby humans would give John pause.

However, such hope was swiftly shattered.

From the magic gate initiated by John, an immense aura began to slowly descend.

First, a massive head resembling that of a hippopotamus emerged.

Then, its entire body followed.

Stretching several tens of meters in length and covered in rigid black scales, the dark aura emanating from this being was so intense that even Ghana dared not underestimate it.

And he recognized this creature.

Even within the Abyss, its reputation was renowned.

[Abas, Lord of the Styx (Demigod Level boss): A terrifying creature birthed from the inner layers of the Styx in the Abyss. He prefers to lurk deep within the Styx, hunting those who attempt to cross the river. He possesses formidable defensive capabilities and has a penchant for devouring other dark entities... Summoned to the Godslayer Continent by a unique power, duration of existence: 10 minutes.]

[Level: 635]

[Race: Undead]

[Attributes: ...]

Upon emerging from the magic gate, Abas seemed momentarily disoriented, shaking his massive head.

He then gazed around with lantern-like eyes, until finally, his gaze settled on John.

"Young man, was it you who summoned me from the Abyss?"

John raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He hadn't anticipated that a mere attempt would conjure such a colossal entity.

The Eye of Artemis had already relayed Abas's attribute information to him.

It seemed that this creature's level was 15 higher than Venom, who had been previously summoned by the Soul-Devouring Devil Ghana.

After confirming the mental link was stable, John smiled slightly, "Indeed, it was I who summoned you…"

Abas bowed his head, his red eyes filled with reverence and submission. "Command me, master. I will execute your every directive."

With a cold smirk, John pointed to Venom, who had halted in the distance, "My demand is simple: restrain that creature. Do not allow it to harm any of mine."

Abas looked up abruptly, fixing his gaze on Venom.

A fierce and relentless aura emanated from the Lord of the Styx, locking onto Venom intently.

Since Abas's arrival, Venom had come to a standstill, sensing the looming danger.

Abas's notorious reputation in the Abyss as a relentless hunter of dark beings was well known, and being targeted by such a creature was far from fortunate.

On the other side, Ghana's expression turned increasingly grim.

As Dark Harvester Venom looked questioningly at its master, Ghana commanded fiercely, "Fear not, Venom! You are the mightiest leader of the Soul Legion. This monstrosity cannot harm you. Destroy it!"

Abas, with his robust legs, began advancing slowly towards Venom.

Hearing the encouragement from his master, Venom's morale soared.

He charged at Abas without hesitation.

Abas, taking steady steps with a mountain-like presence, was surrounded by wild currents of dark energy.

He locked his fierce and unwavering gaze on Venom, filled with the intent to battle.

As they met, the atmosphere grew tense, as if the air itself had frozen.

Abas lunged forward, opening his vast maw to attack Venom.

Venom swiftly sidestepped, his blade-like arms shimmering with a cold light, slashing towards Abas's body.

The collision of blade against scale emitted a sharp metallic clang.

With his immense size and incredibly durable scales, Abas received only a superficial scratch from Venom's assault.

With a furious roar, Abas violently twisted his body, flinging Venom into the distance.

Venom steadied himself, his eyes cold as steel.

He recognized Abas's superior size, defense, and strength but knew his own advantage: a speed that Abas could never match.

Venom moved rapidly, his bladed arms dancing in the air, casting ghostly afterimages as they slashed relentlessly at Abas, like a storm.

Abas, instead of retreating, braced himself against Venom's blows.

At times, he would use his massive claws to catch Venom's blade, attempting to restrain him.

However, Venom's agility enabled him to dodge Abas's strikes while continuing his relentless counterattacks.

In the midst of their battle, Abas let out a thunderous roar as the dark energy around him erupted, sending a surge of black mist toward Venom.

Sensing danger, Venom quickly maneuvered, skillfully evading the onslaught of dark energy.

Undeterred, Abas shifted his tactics, spewing a thick cloud of black mist from his mouth.

It morphed into a vast shadow of darkness, charging at Venom like a dense fog.

Venom's eyes grew more focused, sensing the oppressive force of the dark energy from within Abas.

He lifted his blade-arms high.

As the shadow neared him, Venom swiftly swung his arms, his blades gleaming as they sliced the dark silhouette into several pieces.

Yet the dark energy persisted, reforming into numerous dark projectiles that rained down on Venom.

Venom wasted no time, disappearing instantly from the spot, as the black projectiles pounded the earth, carving one crater after another.

When he emerged again, he had stealthily positioned himself behind Abas.

His dual blades lashed out, striking like lightning at Abas's vulnerabilities.

However, Abas's response was swift and fierce.

He whirled around with immense speed, and with a powerful sweep of his claws, sent Venom hurtling through the air.

Venom's body brutally met the ground, a plume of dust rising upon impact.

Lifting his head, Abas exuded a terrifying aura of darkness, hastily pursuing Venom.

Despite his pain and the scars marring his form, Venom, undeterred, rose and brandished his blades, preparing for another onslaught.

The two collided once more, the battle growing more fierce and frantic.

Venom unleashed his ultimate technique, his blade shining continuously like a flowing river, attempting to break through Abas's defenses.

Yet, Abas remained unyielding, his scales sparking with every slashing attack, showing no signs of vulnerability.

But Venom was not disheartened.

He zeroed in on a specific weak point on Abas, delivering hundreds of slashes in a mere matter of seconds.

This relentless, pinpoint assault finally bore fruit, as scales at that location shattered, revealing the raw flesh beneath.

With another swift strike, a deep gash opened, blood spurting out in torrents.

A tormented roar escaped Abas as dark energy churned wildly, forging an impenetrable shield around him.

With a menacing growl, he charged at Venom, aiming a fierce claw strike.

Venom reacted in a split second, plunging his blades downward against Abas's oncoming claw and propelling himself upward with a strong push off the ground.

Abas's attack was thwarted, his claw met with the unwavering resistance of Venom's blades.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Venom circled Abas, his blades gleaming ominously, aiming for a weak point at Abas's back.

Abas let out a guttural cry, his internal dark energy swirling more fiercely, reinforcing his protective barrier.

With great force, he lashed out with his tail, flinging Venom away like a ragged doll.

Venom crashed heavily into the ground, bearing the weight of the impact.

As Abas closed in with a ferocious growl, Venom, bloodied and beaten but unbowed, struggled to his feet.

With blades shimmering unpredictably in his grip, he braced himself for another fierce retaliation.

The battle intensified, their forms weaving and darting across the battlefield in a relentless dance.

With an aura that seemed boundless in strength, Abas, wrapped in his dark energy, unleashed his assaults like a torrential storm, pushing Venom to the very edge of desperation.
