Chapter 131 - Judgment Day
Chapter 131 Judgment Day
Countless demons gathered near the black mist, waiting for the moment when the giant Gate of the Abyss would open.
Not only demons but even some monsters were participating, as though they were about to attend a grand festival. Such a large-scale war summons caused a commotion in the entire Abyss.
Roy was among these demons, but he lowered his head and ordered Fat Tiger beside him in a low voice, “Fat Tiger, go back to our lair and take care of the house. Don’t follow me this time!”
Fat Tiger had no doubts about Roy’s order at all. His three heads barked at Roy, then he spread his wings and flew back.
Roy had his reasons for making Fat Tiger go back. He was very clear that such a large-scale war summons meant that the demons might encounter an extremely strong opponent. By having Fat Tiger stay in the Abyss, once Roy encountered any danger, he could use his Teleport skill to return to the Abyss directly.
Don’t forget that Roy had made Fat Tiger a teleport destination. If they separated, Roy would have an additional life-preservation method. At critical moments, he could teleport back to the Abyss without even needing to engrave a magic formation.
The huge Gate of the Abyss opened faster than he imagined. The moment the gate opened, the countless demons gathered rushed into it and then disappeared into the black light.
Roy was not in a hurry to rush in. After all, he did not understand the situation on the other side of the gate. Even if he encountered enemies as soon as he teleported over, he could let the demons who entered first fight them. Only when the demons were about done entering did Roy fly into the Gate of the Abyss.
However, after the light of the teleportation disappeared, Roy found that the other side of the gate was not a battlefield like he originally thought but a colossal space that was equally dark and full of lava and flames!
This situation stunned Roy for a moment, causing him to think that he was still in the Abyss. But then he suddenly realized that this place was probably the Abyss Outpost mentioned in Araniya’s inherited memories!
The Abyss Outpost referred to different spaces that demon lords and demon kings had specially opened to facilitate the attack on certain worlds. These other spaces were usually built by avoiding the power of a world’s rules, and the interior environment was exactly the same as the Abyss, which was why it was full of lava and flames. With this forward outpost, the demon army no longer needed to frequently travel back and forth through the Gates of the Abyss when attacking a world.
After all, no matter how powerful demon lords and demon kings were, opening a Gate of the Abyss consumed a massive amount of magic power. With such an outpost, not only could they amass a huge army before the war, but when there was no need to fight, the demons could stay in the outpost and remain unaffected by the power of the world, enabling them to remain in this world for a long time.
Such an outpost could not be established in every world. It could only appear in some high-magic worlds because only in these high-magic worlds would the power of the world have a weaker repulsive force toward high-level demons. High-level demons could stay for a long time and do their best to operate the war…
Roy looked around and saw large numbers of demons constantly pouring out from dozens of huge Gates of the Abyss in this Abyss Outpost. This scene was rather shocking because the Abyss was so vast that you usually could not see so many demons!

Roy flew in the sky and looked at all kinds of demons clustered together. The ground was full of demons that could not fly, and the demons flying in the sky were like migrating birds, circling and turning into a huge current. The sounds of countless demons formed strong waves that spread in all directions.
Roy could not tell how many demons had gathered at the outpost at the moment, but it could be said that anyone who saw this demon army would fear it.
The war potential of the Abyss demons was vividly displayed at this moment…
Although there were countless demons gathered at the moment, with a closer look, he could see that all the demons were actually divided clearly.
The majority of them were low-rank demons! But at the same time, low-rank demons had no status. After appearing from the Gates of the Abyss, they all consciously rushed to the front because they knew that they were cannon fodder charging at the front in this kind of war.
From Roy’s point of view, if he were a low-rank demon in such a war, he would rather find a corner to hide in the Abyss than come. But the problem was that low-rank demons would not think like this. After all, there were very few demons with sufficient reason who could control their urges to kill and destroy. Apart from that, they also instinctively had a strong desire for souls, all of which prompted them to participate in every battle and fight as much as possible.
In the middle, where Roy was, was middle-rank demons. Compared to low-rank demons, there were much fewer middle-rank demons, but it looked like there were still hundreds of thousands. And as the core, middle-rank demons were generally the true main force in combat. Roy saw many middle-rank demons with weapons in their hands, and some of them even wore armor.
Behind middle-rank demons were the even fewer high-rank demons, and Roy estimated that there were only a few thousand of them. High-rank demons were the commanders on the battlefield.
Finally, it was the demon lords. Roy could only see a few…
The fewer the numbers, the more powerful they were. Even from afar, Roy could feel the immense pressure coming from the demon lords. Different from Rogeros’s incarnation that he saw before, these demon lords appeared in the outpost in their true bodies. Their power and magic power lingered around their bodies, and no demons dared to approach them even though they were just standing there.
Roy did not know the names of these demon lords, and it was impossible for him to ask, so he just quietly waited in the formation of middle-rank demons.
He knew that it was definitely not these demon lords who initiated this large-scale war summons but someone else…
As expected, when the demon army at the outpost was almost fully gathered, a stronger force suddenly appeared!
When this force appeared, the demons flying in the sky let out a cry and hurriedly landed. They collapsed on the ground and shivered. The same was true for the demons on the ground. The low-rank demons had already collapsed, the middle-rank demons knelt, the high-rank demons could barely stand, and only the demon lords could maintain their postures. However, they hammered their chests in the direction the force came from to express their respect.
Roy also felt that his body was extremely heavy at the moment. The immense magic power in the air formed a huge pressure on him, causing him to kneel on the ground like the other middle-rank demons.
Roy was very clear that a demon king had appeared!
An enormous circle of flames suddenly rose in a huge open space, and these flames formed the demons’ iconic pentagram upside down.
In the raging fire magic formation, the first thing that he saw was the tips of a pair of curved wings that appeared bit by bit. A giant fiery red demon with wings wrapping around his body to form a spindle shape gradually floated up from the magic formation. After his entire body floated up, his gigantic pair of demon wings opened up, revealing his appearance. This giant demon had a pair of incomparably strong reverse wings. The bone spike on the ends of each wing rose into the sky, looking ferocious. His demon horns were also very large. They stretched out from both sides of his head, extended around his temples a bit, and finally stood upright in front of his forehead, looking like a crown. His right shoulder was bare, and Roy could see his fiery red skin and the rune tattoos on his shoulder. His left shoulder was covered by shoulder armor. His demon eyes were golden and full of killing and destruction. His entire face looked as though it was constantly angry, and even when he breathed, his mouth and nostrils would spew out strong flames…
Without a doubt, he was an extremely powerful and terrifying demon. Just his appearance alone caused the noisy outpost to become silent..
After appearing, he spread his wings, slowly floated into the sky, and then said in a hoarse voice, “My name is Samael! An incarnation of the King of Wrath! Warriors of the Abyss, this world’s contract seals have been broken, and Judgment Day is coming. Here, a decisive battle between angels and demons has arrived! Slaughter! Destruction! Be it humans or angels, kill all the enemies in front of
you!”
With Samael’s declaration of war, the millions of demons present could not help but roar loudly!Demon King Samael extended his claws and waved at the void. A huge fissure tore open in the space of the Abyss Outpost, revealing the blue sky outside. This was the real world of this war. The massive army of demons howled and rushed toward this fissure!
Roy was swept along the demon army through the fissure. After arriving outside, the dazzling sunlight made him uncomfortable, but he did not have time to care about this. The moment he emerged, he found himself in the sky, but strangely, he could step on this ground of white clouds!
At the end of the clouds was an enormous city shining with white light. And in the sky above the city were countless white-winged angels waiting!
Damn it. It really is a war against angels!
While Roy was cursing in his head, he heard the voice of a high-rank demon yelling from behind. “Attack! Destroy the White City!”
Roy seemed to understand a little. It seemed that the city of angels in front was the outpost of Heaven in this world, and the outpost was named the White City…
Wait, I seem to have some impression of this name. And the name of Demon King Samael before…
