Chapter 29: Obsidian Demon!

Author: Floating Tower
In the Bottomless Abyss, on the 422nd layer.
In a desolate desert, a large number of werewolves gather, along with countless slaves who have fallen into the abyss. This place was once called the “Ruins of Azar,” and it used to be the territory of a powerful Fallen Angel, who unfortunately had long since fallen to the hands of a certain Godslayer. Now the master here is the King of Werewolves – Yenogu, the absolute ruler of the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss. In this vast abyssal plane, the King of Werewolves rules over a multitude of werewolf servants and ghoul slaves, enslaving these beings to construct a massive Iron Fortress for himself.
To the east of this desert, one can see the enormous body that is exposed above the ground.
That is the very old demon, the Lord of Storms, Obirius Demon – Bechard’s body. The rise of the Tanar’ri Demon killed this ancient demon, draining its vast life force from its withering shell. It has been tens of thousands of years now, and the death pains of this ancient demon continue to linger. As an ancient demon born from the source of chaos, it has not truly died, much like a beached whale, with parts of its body remaining in this plane.
Though it can no longer speak, Bechard still retains fragments of its once vast consciousness. If contacted through telepathy, it would communicate in a slow, melancholic tone, recounting a time before the birth of the Tanar’ri, the rise and fall of the oldest demons. A trusted frequent visitor might even hear Bechard narrate that demons did not originate from the Bottomless Abyss, but migrated from some other place after abandoning certain evil creator races that have long since vanished in the annals of history.
The King of Werewolves – Yenogu is the most frequent visitor here!
No one knows what it has gained from this oldest Obsidian Demon, but since it arrived in the Bottomless Abyss, the King of Werewolves – Yenogu has been growing stronger day by day.
It has conquered an entire layer of the Bottomless Abyss. It defeated the King of Ghouls, fought against the Bull-headed King – Baphomet, and has a tumultuous relationship with the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute.
All of this seems destined to make it countless enemies in the Bottomless Abyss!
But in fact, to this day, the King of Werewolves – Yenogu is still alive, not having fallen to the schemes of other Demon Lords, and its territory continues to expand slowly.
Occasionally, the ancient demon body undergoes subtle changes. Its once terrifying power still interferes with this plane.
Sometimes.
There are violent weather changes here, a power that once belonged to the powerful Obsidian Demon!
On this plain, the remnants of the demon body reject other visitors, and the subordinates of the King of Werewolves – Yenogu do not allow anyone to approach easily. However, occasionally, some strong beings from the Bottomless Abyss come here, seeking guidance for power from the oldest demon. Unfortunately, they still leave empty-handed, as the remaining consciousness on this massive body has recently fallen silent. It has started to no longer communicate with anyone, and even the King of Werewolves – Yenogu, who has ruled the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss for so long, cannot get a response from it.
Moving forward along the plain, there is a giant Iron Fortress beneath the mountains.
This is the City of Yenogu.
The strongest Iron Fortress in the Bottomless Abyss, inhabited solely by werewolves. Other races either serve as slaves or as food. At the center stands a towering palace, where Yenogu spends less than half of the year. Most of the time, it is patrolling its territory. Yenogu is a demon lord who cares deeply about its domain, familiar with every inch of its land.
“Foolish! Inept! Useless!”
A deep roar echoes in the air above this Iron Fortress. Countless werewolf servants tremble at the sound of rage, as Yenogu’s robust figure stands within the palace, glaring at a black-furred werewolf kneeling before it, roaring, “You idiot! You can’t even handle this!”
The pitch-black werewolf leader kneels at Yenogu’s feet. It opens its mouth to explain the strength of the enemy, but instead is met with a glimmering flail with three heads.
Blood and brains splatter, and the King of Werewolves – Yenogu coldly glances at the others, slowly stating, “Useless things are only fit to feed pets!”
Two armored attendants appear and drag the corpse out of the hall.
“My lord!”
An old werewolf holding a bone staff appears. It glances at the bloodstains on the ground and says slowly, “The army of the Succubus Queen has attacked our borders again.”
“Many of our people have died at the hands of the Radiant Nun.”
The Radiant Nun.
The King of Werewolves – Yenogu furrows its brow, as its conflict with the Succubus Queen has never ceased, and border clashes have been constantly erupting.
It despises those damned Radiant Nuns!
Because these Radiant Nuns are creations of the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute, they are the commanding leaders of the Succubus Legion and a vexing adversary.
“Send the Ghoul Legion for reinforcement!”
The King of Werewolves – Yenogu looks at the others and slowly adds, “Let the werewolf executioners also head to the borders.”
The old werewolf wizard bows and withdraws.
Soon, within this massive Iron Fortress, some closed gates are opened, and a rush of dark ghouls pours out, led away by werewolves armed with heavy flails.
The warfare of demon lords never rests!
As long as the Succubus Queen doesn’t personally appear, Yenogu will not easily go to the front lines, for war is the main theme of the Bottomless Abyss. However, once an Abyss Lord personally enters the fray, the scale of war will rise.
…………
The howling wind blows towards her.
Cridiana plays with the thorny whip forged of exquisite gold in her hand, crushing the skull of a werewolf warrior underfoot, with scarlet blood and brain matter splattering onto her black metallic gavel boots, seemingly unconcerned about this affecting her stunning allure. As a newly awakened Radiant Nun, Cridiana has only a foggy recollection of her past life; she retains the instincts of a higher succubus, along with her loyalty and affection towards her mother, the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute.
This is her first battle after awakening!
As the daughter created by the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute herself, competition among the Radiant Nuns is incredibly fierce. What Cridiana desires most now is to find a way to significantly injure the King of Werewolves – Yenogu and please her mother, the Succubus Queen, in order to gain a far higher status than her sisters.
Behind her is a sea of demonic troops.
In the Bottomless Abyss, there are always demons who like to underestimate succubi, but these individuals will always pay the price.
The makeup of the Succubus Legion is very complex, as they possess a powerful allure over any demon. In this legion, there are less than a third succubi; the rest are servants enslaved and drawn in by succubi. Mikanxute controls a vast number of other demons, and her charm is such that even the Abyssal Eye cannot resist.
Behind the demon legion is a giant eye demon.
It is an Eye Demon Observer, a servant of the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute. This powerful eye demon does not participate in battle; it is only responsible for relaying everything it sees to the Succubus Queen.
Mikanxute’s gaze is on this scene!
She is very interested in how her newly created daughter will defeat the army of werewolves and thus please her mother.
Demons reproduce quickly.
As one of the strongest demon lords in the Bottomless Abyss today, the Succubus Queen – Mikanxute does not care about the casualties of the demon legion. As long as she wishes, she can quickly enslave another batch of such cannon fodder. The chaotic wars are the main theme of the Bottomless Abyss; it is only through brutal conflict that she can cultivate true elites.
This point.
Even her daughter is no exception; the weak among the Radiant Nuns will only be eliminated.
In the distance from Cridiana is an ancient river.
That is the River of Underworld.
The River of Underworld flows through many planes of the Bottomless Abyss. Its tributaries resemble tree branches and can help demons reach many places.
However, the ferryman on the River of Underworld is not very easy to deal with!
Cridiana’s past memories are few, but the clearest one is drifting in the River of Underworld; she remembers floating on the river for a long time, the murky waters penetrating her soul, making her forget too much, leaving only a tiny fragment of vague memory.
