Abyss Summoner

Chapter 574 - 561: Never Compromise

Chen Feng had been immersed in the joy of summoning the bone dragon. Even though the relationship between the two, calculated in terms of friendliness, was only 3% or even lower, it still allowed him to experience the thrill of summoning a legendary creature.

But this joy didn’t last long before Chen Feng was drawn to Flora’s state. He gazed at her thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "Trying to achieve a breakthrough by relying on the other party’s pressure? As expected... the one with the strongest talent is this little kitty."

Compared to other summoned beasts, Flora might be Chen Feng’s closest companion. This relationship has transcended the creation of the Inferior Demon and has become an exchange between the ’zero.’

Chen Feng knew that this kitty, who was sometimes a bit shy but loved to fight with fists and brute force in the Abyss, had the strongest talent among the summoned beasts.

She doesn’t have Elwin’s innate factors, nor does she possess the knowledge of the Undead Mage, and she lacks the Inferior Demon’s ability to gain strength through devouring. Flora can only rely on herself.

If everyone had a dictionary, then Flora’s dictionary would only contain four words: ’Never Compromise.’

As a member of the Cat Race, she embodied the meaning of these words: no background, no opportunities, and no support. In the path of her growth, besides surviving, she also carried the burden of taking care of her clan members.

The Cat Race is always known for being weak, and during battles, they are often defeated by the vast number of goblins and kobolds. And as the losing side, taking refuge was their only option.

This more or less forced out some of Flora’s potential. Among the Cat Race, known for their cowardice, Flora not only mastered powerful physical arts but also became a Master of Fist, becoming a Guardian among her group and the only female Clan Leader in years.

As of now, even though Flora has become a Demon Lord, she has not forgotten the path she has been pursuing. For her, even if there are countless boulders ahead, she will use all her strength to move them and carve out a broad path uniquely her own!

"Flora..." Chen Feng looked at her, the corners of his mouth curving into an inexplicable arc.

"Perhaps this pressure is still not enough, so let me help you a bit..." With that, a small flame ignited in Chen Feng’s hand, and with a casual flick, it landed on the bone dragon’s forehead.

Being despised by a mere human, and now being publicly insulted!

The flame on its head held power for the bone dragon akin to a leaf falling on one’s hair while walking in the forest. But as a legendary strong entity, well-known even in the Abyss, how could a mere human muster the courage to insult it this way!

The other party must pay some price; those delectable treats are far from enough to neutralize the offense.

The bone dragon stared at Chen Feng like a predator sizing up its prey, and then it opened its mouth, letting out an angry roar. The very air seemed to be torn by its formidable force, able to easily topple a building!

Although its flesh had decayed, and its vocal cords had long been lost to the river of history, the bone dragon’s roar now sounded more like an undead releasing its inner fury, giving off an excruciatingly shrill feeling!

"Boom!"

A violent tremor shook the ground as the bone dragon’s sound wave formed an invisible light wave in mid-air, smashing down to the ground like a barrage of artillery shells. The soft sand split open completely, while some bugs and fish weren’t quick enough to dodge, exploding onto the shore, dead beyond any recovery!

Flora stood firm on the ground, unmoved by the unfolding chaos around her. She knew her intentions were insignificant under the bone dragon’s might. She could retreat now, but doing so would prevent her from breaking through, and courage would be forever sullied, severing ties with the Master of Fist.

Masters of Fist do not rely on any weapons. To them, the body and courage are the most potent treasure.

"If you want me to retreat, I will crush this pressure, kill!"

Facing this predicament, Flora mustered all her courage, fiercely battling against this pressure.

Boom!

In the void, courage transformed into a fist, smashing all the overhead pressure. Then, it spread open its hand, gripping the dissipating force, attempting to absorb it into herself, but in an instant, the surrounding pressure turned into a maw, swiftly shattering Flora’s intention.

In a moment,

Flora felt wrapped in fear, having nothing to rely on, with no chance to defeat the opponent!

"Too tired, give up. You can’t possibly be a match for them. Just kneel down; with their power, they won’t hold it against you. Are you really going to die here?"

Inside everyone’s body is a duality of little beings, one evil and one kind. Under the pressure of dread, the evil one stood out, seemingly whispering by Flora’s ear, trying to shake her confidence.

"The brave have no fear. If you can’t withstand this pressure, how will you challenge mightier realms in the future?" However, Flora’s mind was already resolute as iron, impervious to any Heart Demons!

At this moment, Flora’s will strengthened once again. She seized the evil little being by her ear, and with a forceful squeeze, crushed it to death, leaving no trace of it behind.

Only after breaking, can there be a breakthrough.

Flora left no room for retreat; her hands of courage actively struck out, as she straightened her back. The mighty fist shattered the pressure, then clenched tightly, like a mountain suppressing the evil beneath, with not the slightest relaxation!

Under these circumstances, the bone dragon seemed to sense something. As a strong entity, it liked seeing the fear in its enemies’ eyes when they faced it. Compared to the wariness from the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish and Elwin, Flora’s gaze was undoubtedly like hot oil poured into its flames of rage.

Despite the Fair Contract with Chen Feng, which dictated that if Chen Feng died, the bone dragon would suffer some losses, the bone dragon had to redirect its fury, and now Flora’s persistence undeniably became its outlet!

The bone dragon went rampant, baring its teeth and claws, flaunting its power at Flora. Meanwhile, the decaying flesh on its neck squirmed once more, forming a black energy cannon!

This attack’s power was far more terrifying than its previous intimidation. If it struck, even with her Golden Tier defense, Flora would be heavily injured, if not killed!

"Whoosh!"

At this critical moment, Chen Feng executed a gesture, sending the previously raging bone dragon back to the Abyss. As the creator of the contract, Chen Feng still had some basic rights reserved.

Meanwhile, Flora was already sweating profusely. In that life-and-death moment, she felt a genuine power. The bone dragon’s final critical strike made her taste a bit of insignificance, but it is precisely because she was small that she pursued strength at the core.

In the void.

The transparent fist opened, its palm filled with countless scattered forces. Flora took a deep breath, swallowing these fragments whole into her belly.

At this moment, Flora felt an unprecedented essence of power!
