Demon City

One day later, the number of demons killed by the bugs had reached 321.

This included 251 Tier 8, 68 Tier 9, and the remaining two were Tier 10.

The Tier 10 enemies were killed directly by hundreds of rockets and dozens of missile bugs flying at them together.

Many demons were left completely bewildered. They saw a massive swarm of projectiles flying toward them from a distance and didn't react at all.

Then came... a loud boom.

And then, those two became corpses.

Besides these 300 odd demons, thousands of ordinary wild beasts had also been turned into supplements.

A large amount of concentrated energy was transferred to the hive as reserves.

At this time, Xia Jin's projection had arrived at a demon city together with the succubus.

“You... You're a flame demon?”

The ice demon officer conducting inspections at the gate stared at the girl in shock.

“My god, is that a flame demon?”

Quite a few demon soldiers were stunned.

She was just too small and cute, wasn't she?

Was this really a flame demon?

A crowd of demons felt their hearts skip a beat.

The succubus beside her, who had a bit of a mature woman vibe, felt quite conflicted. Normally, as a succubus, she would be the center of attention for male demons.

But now, their eyes were stolen by this foreign girl who looked like a human.

She understood all too well.

It was one thing to be beautiful as a human, but even as a demon, she was so perfectly aligned with their aesthetics.

Dammit, when will I ever be this perfect?

With these thoughts, she watched Xia Jin being let through with ease as the guards looked on with eyes full of adoration.

The guards actually liked her very much, but their status and strength meant they couldn't actually make any moves to pursue her.

“Tell me about your demon cities,” Xia Jin asked.

“Your demons? As I thought... you aren't a demon.”

The succubus confirmed her suspicions. This being likely came through one of those portals. Those were originally intended by the Demon Tyrant for invading the reality world; she hadn't expected them to be used as tools to enter the Abyss instead.

“Was the world on the other side actually this powerful?”

Everyone knew why the previous conquest failed. Halfway through the mobilization, the Demon Tyrant's home was raided by another tyrant. To protect his own base, he had to withdraw midway.

At that time, only a vanguard of cannon fodder had been sent out. Otherwise, how could mere dwellers of the main world resist a powerful demon army?

Who would have thought that now...

“Demon society is relatively chaotic compared to the creatures of the main world. Generally, might makes right, but there is still some level of order maintained. For instance, in this city, if you recklessly kill guards outside the rules, the price is unbearable.”

Hearing the succubus's words, Xia Jin paused slightly. “What are the rules?”

“The arena, or challenging superiors. Because it is a world where strength is everything, you must follow the rules established by the local ruler in any demon city. For example, the actual ruler of this city is the Demon Tyrant Talon. In his city, you can directly challenge any demon on the street, but the entire battle will be monitored, and initiating them too frequently is dangerous. Besides that, you can compete in the arena to gain status. Of course, strictly speaking... there is one last way, which is to ignore the rules Talon set with unrivaled power.”

“I see.”

Xia Jin arrived in front of a black building.

She had approached because she heard a commotion there earlier.

Sure enough, she saw two demons fighting not far away.

Bang!

One demon was violently sent flying. A burst of Tier 10 power erupted, and the Tier 9 opponent was left with shattered internal organs, collapsing to the ground.

“Hahaha, with this level of skill, your things are mine.”

Picking up a bag of crystal like currency from the body, the Tier 10 demon turned to walk toward the gate.

Then, he saw Xia Jin and the succubus.

The fellow swallowed hard.

“A succubus... a fl, flame demon?”

Xia Jin frowned and prepared to step aside, not wanting to waste words with him.

Unexpectedly, the guy immediately spoke up: “To think I would meet a noble flame demon lady. You are truly too beautiful. I have fallen in love with you at first sight. I wonder...”

“No.”

Demons were so direct.

Love at first sight the moment they met?

If you are lusting after my body, just say so; there is no need to act so refined.

“Lady Flame Demon, I am a peak Tier 10 demon. If you do not agree, then please allow me to show you my strength. Once I defeat you, please become my wife.”

Xia Jin: “????”

Is this reasonable?

The succubus beside her twitched her lips and whispered in her ear, “The Abyss is like this. You can just snatch things. You can snatch other demons too; if you beat her, you can take her.”
