Abyss Summoner

Gutang Port.

Today, Gutang Port feels different; the whole port has an eerie stillness.

The various shady characters lingering on this island have settled down today, even the guards responsible for maintaining order seem absent-minded. What they witnessed today is truly too shocking, so much so that the entire port fell silent at this moment, as if everyone is waiting or dreading something.

A body is hung on the railing.

The body of a Honey Badger.

Known for being ruthless and having just become the ruler of this port after a massive fire, now he hangs up there.

This port has a population of about eighty thousand. Normally, such a narrow place would inevitably be attacked by monsters in a time of apocalypse. However, the arrival of the White Dragon spared it.

Where there are people, there are conflicts.

The awakened professionals, unable to unite due to various reasons, formed survival forces. At their peak, there were over twenty factions. Yet, Honey Badger had both the capability and the means, acting with ruthless determination and stopping at nothing to achieve their goals.

A great fire.

Fueled his rise.

Had things developed normally, on this island he would be the most powerful force after the White Dragon, without exception.

But now, just when Honey Badger reached his pinnacle, he was killed in such a manner, so much so that even his close confidants still feel like they’re dreaming, unable to believe what they’re seeing.

Formidable squads of warriors stand in front of the crowd.

Previously, those who claimed they’d follow Honey Badger to carve out a path now hang their heads like mice by the roadside, lacking the courage even to look at each other.

Honey Badger is dead.

And taking control here again is a group called [Order]. Just from their aura, it’s clear they’re a top force not only in Gutang Port but in the entire surrounding area.

Chen Feng stands at the front of the crowd, watching these people and the ruins behind him.

The Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish extinguished the fire, as a being that commands the power of the ocean, it has the ability to call rain upon the sea, drawing up surrounding water and allowing it to pour down. In less than half an hour, the city’s fire was extinguished.

Screams and cries were everywhere.

The heavy rain saved some people, but a vast number were already buried in the inferno, so even with seawater drenching the area, it couldn’t cleanse away the surrounding scorched scent.

This odor isn’t from burning trash; everyone knows it’s the scent of charred human bodies, the smell of burning flesh.

The all-encompassing fire trapped countless people inside, leaving one to imagine if pieces of human bodies were scorched and scattered into the air.

Apart from the personnel guarding prisoners, all other warriors had joined the rescue squads.

Most people are facing such a manmade disaster for the first time.

Due to harsh living conditions, these people lived in makeshift shacks, mostly made of wood, which means that when a fire rages, few families can escape such a disaster.

A charred body lay on the ground, with something bulging underneath, as if hiding something. The rescue team exerted immense effort to pry it open, revealing a small figure beneath it.

A little girl.

She looked only five or six years old, with a hair clip on her head. Compared to her mother’s blackened appearance, her complexion was relatively pale.

Yet even so.

She’s dead too.

Although the mother shielded the girl from the flames with her body, the thick smoke around them became Death’s scythe, taking the girl’s life.

The warriors who participated in the rescue spat on the ground vehemently.

There is no mercy in this world. As adults, becoming the devoured side due to certain reasons can’t be blamed on others; blame the lack of ruthlessness and strength.

But as a child.

They’re defenseless, and the phrase ’only the fittest survive’ never suited them. However, as the weak ones, they endure more disasters and violence.

Chen Feng called over a professional and whispered a few words into his ear. The latter nodded and strode to the front of the crowd.

"Who started the fire?"

This was a man with a short braid, whose awakened power related to the Water Element allowed him to command a ship.

The abilities of professionals are diverse; he functions somewhat like detection, and while the ship sails, he can better discern directions, which earned him the nickname ’human GPS’ among some.

The disaster-stricken residents still haven’t recovered from the catastrophe. Now, seeing a new group of strangers arriving at their home, some timid people couldn’t help but sob, leading to chaos on the scene.

The man frowned, pulled out a gun from his waistband, and pointed it fiercely at a middle-aged man’s head, saying, "I don’t have time to waste words with you here. Who started this fire? If you can’t say, I’ll blow your head off!"

The man was an outstanding warrior; he understood when to display authority.

The middle-aged man was extremely panicked, feeling the coldness at his head. He trembled as he pointed to the remnants of Honey Badger’s troops, saying, "They... they worked for Honey Badger..."

In front of Chen Feng is a black flag.

With no extra decoration or gaudy pattern, only the word Order is written on it.

The ominous black seemed to brew a murderous intent, enveloping Gutang Port and making many feel a sense of unease. Chen Feng coldly watched the port and the remnants of Honey Badger indicated by the middle-aged man.

About three hundred people.

At this moment, they were utterly terrified, unaware of what to do, only able to gaze at Chen Feng pleadingly. Yes, they started the fire, and even though they regretted it after the fact, they couldn’t deny their role as culprits.

"Sir... I think this is a misu—"

The surrounding pressure was overwhelming. One of Honey Badger’s remaining followers stepped out, trying to justify something.

"Bang!"

A Fireball struck his body directly, and under the explosive force, the once-living life instantly became scattered remains on the ground.

"Kill them all."

One sentence determined their fate.

This was originally his orchard, but before the owner could act, a group of unruly thugs took the first step. Not only were the fruits picked, even the trees were uprooted.

This matter demanded an explanation.

And these people’s lives.

Undoubtedly, they make the best explanation.
