Abyss Summoner-Chapter 290 - 285: The Inferior Demon’s Secret
The entire city seemed to be a place where only the Inferior Demon dared to linger fearlessly in front of Chen Feng's door. Most others didn't dare to, not even the Dark Elf, who had become an Evil God Priest and held thousands of lives in its hands, had the extra courage to behave as casually as Chen Feng did.
The Inferior Demon was different. As a creature that defied common logic, its world revolved around Chen Feng alone. The so-called respect paled compared to the reliance it felt by being close to him.
However, Chen Feng was usually busy and couldn't always leave the Inferior Demon at the door. If it accidentally ate some people like last time, it would inevitably cause some trouble.
To satisfy its sense of reliance, Chen Feng specifically changed residences and arranged for the Inferior Demon to be next door.
Room.
A room belonging to the Inferior Demon.
This room that belonged to a preparatory member of the divine offspring wasn't as damp, gloomy, and bloody as imagined.
The Inferior Demon symbolized cruelty and horror. In the entire Economic Development Zone, everyone knew that there was always a powerful and strange presence around the adults.
In others' eyes, the Inferior Demon looked like a monster from some stories, living in a cave surrounded by blood and corpses.
If Li Siyu's appearance represented light, embodying holiness and openness,
Then the Inferior Demon was Chen Feng's dark side, always associated with cruelty and bloodlust, far from the mischievous and cute demeanor of the little girl when she clung to Chen Feng and acted coquettishly.
However, this room was quite the opposite of what people imagined.
Rather than a demon's lair, it was more like a little girl's boudoir.
The walls were covered in pink wallpaper, and in the corner was a dressing table adorned with an array of jewelry. Next to it was a small wardrobe, with some beautiful clothes hanging inside, although the Inferior Demon couldn't wear them.
The will to devour subtly changed the Inferior Demon's behavior and preferences. It liked beautiful things—clothes, jewelry, even hair clips—all of which were lovingly collected treasures.
This perhaps had a lot to do with devouring the Red Dragon. The Dragon Race liked shiny things, and the Inferior Demon was also leaning towards this preference.
Among the numerous treasures, a blood-red crystal stood out the most.
Dragon Crystal.
It was something from the Red Dragon's body, containing most of the Red Dragon's power and soul from before. However, its energy had long been devoured by the Inferior Demon, and now the Dragon Crystal was just a more beautiful ornament.
The Dragon Crystal hung from the ceiling, emanating a dazzling light.
Just looking at it, it was no different from the boudoir of an ordinary little girl.
But in other corners, it wasn't so pretty. A grotesque, terrifying Chain Demon stood in the corner like a guard, towering over the ground.
The Chain Demon, a mid-level devil, was entwined with chains produced in Purgatory. Compared to human steel, these materials had a higher density. During battles, they would first use the chains to control their enemies before killing them.
The Chain Demon enjoyed torture and abuse.
It was one of the few fearsome creatures in Purgatory that preferred slaughter over intrigue.
However, such a fearsome creature now wore a submissive expression. The chains on its body had long been replaced by necklaces, and it looked more like a dressing table, adorned with jewelry the Inferior Demon liked.
The terrifying Chain Demon dared not show any displeasure. On the contrary, this powerful demon, who in Purgatory enjoyed snacking on little demons and found pleasure in cruelly killing the Desire Demon when unhappy, always kept a smile, though it made it look somewhat eerie and chilling.
In this room, the Inferior Demon was the master. No matter how strong the devil, it was merely a decorative vase.
As for near the bed, there was a vessel, inside of which were soaked three little demons. They were already dead, their heads caved in, clearly having suffered a powerful blow. Their bodies bore no extra wounds, indicating they didn't even have time to retaliate before being struck down.
The Inferior Demon didn't have many companions, and the loyal little demons undoubtedly became the few toys it had. However, what seemed like a casual throw to the Inferior Demon was fatal to the little demons.
Over the course of a week, three little demons were played to death, turning into three cold corpses.
The little demons were originally the air force units that Chen Feng had high hopes for, and there weren't many of them in the first place. Now, without even going to war, three died, which prompted a rare rebuke from Chen Feng, who forbade the Inferior Demon from approaching the little demons again.
Collectibles.
Without playmates, the Inferior Demon seemed a bit sad, with Chen Feng's reprimand being a major factor.
However, the little demons' bodies were put to use; they were soaked in some liquid, like plush toys, collected by the Inferior Demon beside the bed.
With no battles recently, life for the Inferior Demon was very quiet.
At this time, it sat on the floor with some dried fish laid before it. Like it was learning, it picked up a piece of dried fish with its arm and put it in its mouth, chewing carefully.
It was learning human habits.
In the past, it would have stuffed all the dried fish into its body. But now, resolute in becoming human, it started practicing eating with its mouth.
"Tsk tsk..."
Some chewing noises emanated from its mouth.
It's somewhat of an effort, far less satisfying than consuming with the body, but the Inferior Demon patiently opened and closed its mouth, taking a long time to finally eat the one-meter-long dried fish.
Although its mouth hasn't evolved the sense of taste, this action made it feel like a human.
As if remembering something, the Inferior Demon glanced sideways first and, seeing the Chain Demon still smiling and staring ahead without looking its way, it cautiously turned around and lifted its cloak like a thief burying jewels, extremely cautious.
"Pa, pa..."
But at this moment, a set of footsteps reached the Inferior Demon's ears.
Though the footsteps were deliberately hidden, sounding more like someone was walking on tiptoes, the Inferior Demon still discerned the sound.
Suddenly, it turned around.
Only to see a small head peeking out from the corner by the entrance, curiously looking inside.
An arm shot out quickly from the Inferior Demon's body, like a coiled Fierce Python, directly wrapping around the child's neck, and then with a forceful tug, swung it toward the opposite wall.
"Boom!"
A loud noise.
At this moment, the child's body was exposed, about eight or nine years old, small in stature, especially its limbs, which could be described as slender.
For an ordinary child, just this strike would have flattened them like a piece of meat, impossible to survive, but the child struggled and stood up shortly after hitting the ground.
Except for its facial features being somewhat reddened, there wasn't a single wound.
Ghoul.
This being, discovered initially among the corpse tide, is also one of the Inferior Demon's toys.
Compared to small devils, the Ghoul possesses zombie blood, astonishing vitality, often subjected to the Inferior Demon's torment but still survives.
The Ghoul has a strong curiosity; its intent is bloodthirsty, but its intelligence is that of a child, exploring like a beast into unknown territories. However, its memory is extremely poor, places visited one day might be forgotten the next.
The Inferior Demon's room.
Other than Chen Feng, this is strictly forbidden territory for any creature.
Because of this matter, the Ghoul has been beaten several times, but born with a memory flaw, it still enjoys the thrill of exploring.
"Out... next time... I'll kill you..."
Being disturbed, the Inferior Demon appeared somewhat angry, tilting its head, looking at the already twisted Ghoul, its tone filled with thick killing intent.
The Ghoul snapped back, then fearfully crawled up, evil submitting to a more evil strongman; Chain Demon was like this, and this being touted by some scholars as the [Zombie Leader] is also one among the abused.
Feeling the Inferior Demon's murderous intent, the Ghoul didn't dare to stay here a second longer, its limbs affected somewhat during the collision earlier. At this moment, its movements resembled a spider as it twisted its eerie body and ran out.
The Inferior Demon puffed its cheeks, mimicking an angry expression.
However, the Ghoul's appearance only dampened the Inferior Demon's mood for a moment; quickly afterward, it returned to its previous state.
With no one disrupting, the Inferior Demon seemed somewhat focused, gently lifting its cloak, and then, the mud below rolled over, suddenly, five human toes and half a foot broke through the mud, appearing in front of the Inferior Demon.
This is the Inferior Demon's secret.
No one knows.
This is why it vented anger on the Ghoul.
The Inferior Demon hasn't prepared to let others know this secret.
This evil being with a muddy body is undergoing not just a change in awareness and behavior, but even its body transforms.
Though the process is slow, the Inferior Demon strives for metamorphosis; its master loves hands and feet, so it will produce hands and feet.
Just like killing.
Whatever the master likes, it will learn to do.
This presence encircled by Devils, with a terrifying body, hid in its room, starting to mumble to itself:
"Hug..."
Perhaps recalling some beautiful scenes.
The little girl's laughter is constant.
Captivating yet cruel.
