Great Demon King

GDK 523: Fight for Glory

As the man continued to approach, an instinctive feeling of loathing rose from the bottom of Han Shuo’s heart. The air around him filled with a repulsive stench. After carefully sensing, Han Shuo was shocked to discover that the smell was disseminating from this sickly man.

This man was mounted on a mammoth, demon-faced spider, and looked rather different from Hemanna and Sylph. He seemed to have no skeleton, and gave off a feeble aura. His waist was slimmer than that of a woman. His green face was covered with spots. Difficult on the eyes indeed.

He wore a medal of black iron embossed with a demon. It was holding two bloody skulls of monsters with its mouth, vivid, lifelike, and would give any observer goosebumps and a wicked vibe.

Thanks to Hemanna and Sylph, Han Shuo now had some understanding of the division of strength in the Abyss realm. There were all kinds of abyssal creatures at various levels of strength. Those low-level ones would eternally be treated as cannon fodders and saddle horses, and would never be qualified to enjoy any privileges that high-level creatures received.

Aside from the low-level creatures, average high-level creatures were divided into Abyssal troopers, Destroyers, Rakshas, and Demons, with each class further divided into three levels. Advanced abyssal creatures with rights to live in a city or that were enlisted soldiers for a powerhouse were level one Abyssal troopers or higher.

Every expert gradually advanced through constant massacre. The more enemies they killed, the higher they climbed. Both Hemanna and Sylph were level one Destroyers, while Nambrough was a level three Destroyer.

Higher up the ladder, experts who could possess their own territories within a city or a region were known as Rakshas. They were allowed their own guards. For example, this man before Han Shuo had a Raksha drawn onto the medallion on his chest. The two bloody skulls in the mouth of the Raksha indicated that he was a level-two Raksha!

Above Rakshas were Demons. They were the true influential figures for those powerhouses. For example, Crosius of War Demon Valley and General Yeki of Venomfang Castle, they were level one Demons. Every Demon cultivated elemental energy to fill every cell in their bodies, even in the brain.

Above the Demons were the mightiest of the whole of Abyss realm – the five great demon kings. They were like mountains that could not be scaled. Billions of abyssal creatures had to bow and prostrate themselves before them. They were the true masters of the Abyss realm!

The Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts was stirring and roiling as it released killing intent seemingly made of pure evil. The six minions could sense the terrifying power of the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts and hastily turned away from the direction of Han Shuo, dispersing.

Like a flower blossoming, the Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts suddenly blew up, sending out hundreds upon thousands of hedgehog-like, spiky, bloody spears. The spines appeared to be sentient as they shot themselves towards the six Destroyer-class experts of Brakyah’s. The six strange-looking Destroyers had a hard time defending themselves. The four experts further away from the Bloody Radiance were barely able to resist the attack.

The other two closer to the Bloody Radiance, however, were instantly punctured by tens of thousands of bloody awls, paving way for a rain of blood.

Han Shuo let out a mischievous laugh and approached the other four Destroyers like a ghost. He was so fast that one could only see a blurred trail of him. One of the four Destroyers seemed to have yet to come to his senses, and opened his mouth wide like he was preparing to spit poison.

Han Shuo threw a punch that, like a momentous javelin, entered the Destroyer’s open mouth and went right through its neck. His terror-filled eyes were wide open before he ultimately lost all sign of life.

Han Shuo revealed a callous smile that would send chills down anyone’s spine. With a jolt of his arm, the skull of the Destroyer hanging on his arm exploded. His juiced brain mixed with fresh blood sprayed all over.

“Delightful, how delightful!” Han Shuo let out a belly laugh. He felt that when he eased his mind, his demonic arts were more willing to elevate to a wonderful realm. Not only was the demonic yuan flowing extremely smoothly, but it also provided a seemingly unending supply of energy. Even his demonic infant seemed to be trembling with happiness.

If I follow my heart’s desires and do as I please, conducting myself with the ideal mental state of the Carnal Realm, then, I can definitely achieve a breakthrough while in this Abyss,  Han Shuo suddenly had such a self-confidence.

“Brakyah, stop sending your minions to death. Come and fight me yourself!” Han Shuo no longer cared about the remaining Destroyers. With an evil grin, he charged straight at Brakyah.

Han Shuo immediately obtained the approval of the all the observers after displaying such brashness and ferocity. They nodded and praised and chanted, admiring Han Shuo’s might. As for girls like Hemanna and Sylph, their eyes glimmered with infatuation at the demon-god-like Han Shuo, somewhat smitten by him.

The Demonic Blades in Han Shuo’s two hands reflected dazzling light. The Demonic Blades, made of fingernails, might have appeared rather bizarre for people back on Profound Continent. In this Abyss realm, however, it seemed completely ordinary.

The grade-two Raksha, Brakyah, atop the demon-faced spider, had water element in every cell of his body. He obviously had formed a Body of Water Element. As he witnessed Han Shuo charging at him while howling with laughter, Brakyah’s expression of disdain immediately vanished and was replaced with a grave expression.

After Han Shuo killed three of his underlings in succession with terrifying methods, Brakyah had some idea as to how terrifying amount of strength Han Shuo must possess. As he puzzled over the sudden appearance of such an expert in War Demon Valley, he began to congeal the water element in his body. Han Shuo suddenly found Brakyah soaring into the sky like a water snake. Because every cell in Brakyah’s humanoid body was filled with the water element, his body was exceptionally soft and flexible. He wriggled and twisted like a python before Han Shuo.

The Demonic Blades, giving off brilliant spellfire, whooshed and landed directly on Brakyah’s body. Much to Han Shuo’s amazement, despite Brakyah’s body having been sliced by the Demonic Blades, not a single limb had been severed.

Brakyah took advantage of the time to stick himself closer to Han Shuo. He even had leisure time to tease Han Shuo. In a disdaining voice, he said, “Where did this low-level race come from? To think he actually tried this silly method on me. How impossibly foolish!”

The Demonic Blades’ attack on Brakyah was akin to swords slashing and stabbing at water. With water element filling every cell in his body, Brakyah had obtained the extreme flexibility of water. To be unafraid of such a physical attack was completely unexpected by Han Shuo.

“Alright then, I shall deal you something painful!” Han Shuo chuckled, ignoring Brakyah’s advances. He already had a countermeasure in mind.
