Chapter 5

At the beginning of this cycle, Oks also noticed something was amiss. So he immediately joined the Great Summoning Era, shouting loudly to the Balor Flame Demon he had summoned: "Don't just stand there, hurry up, you need to summon too!"

The Balor Flame Demon: "I @#%..."

Despite being very unhappy with Oks' commanding tone, the Balor Flame Demon eventually complied. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. As a summoned creature, you have to be prepared to be used.

Thus, a Balor Flame Demon could summon over a dozen Quasits, one to four War Beasts, a Spectator, a Succubus, a Six-Armed Snake Demon, or... I really don't want to write this part anymore.

So, both sides kept summoning. During this process, both sides tacitly refrained from starting the battle, waiting until all their minions were gathered before initiating the big fight.

"What's going on? This is so strange," the Quasit protagonist, who was quietly retreating and preparing to leave, was very surprised. "Just a moment ago, there was a cacophony of screams and the sound of intense fighting. Why did it suddenly become so quiet?"

The Quasit protagonist hesitated for a split second. Then, unable to resist, he stood up to see what was happening—only to be blinded by the light from various interdimensional portals.

"What's happening?! Are the Abyssal Demons having a party here? I can't stay, I need to leave quickly."

After being shocked for a split second, the Quasit protagonist realized he had to leave immediately. Unfortunately, things had reached this point, and could he really leave?!

The next second, the light source behind him increased in brightness by at least fifty watts. He turned around and saw a portal opening behind him, apparently someone had used a spell to summon a Tanar'ri Demon.

The Quasit protagonist was momentarily stunned, and a claw reached out from the portal, pushing him from behind. Then another Quasit came out, shouting at him: "Can you move faster?! Don't block the way, there are more demons coming out behind you!"

"I—this—I'm not—," the Quasit protagonist was almost in tears—what does this have to do with me? I wasn't summoned. If you want to fight, just fight, don't involve me...

—How could that be?!

The Quasit protagonist, who thought he had a hidden luck attribute of 18, now felt he was probably mistaken. His luck attribute should be between 2 and 5. Look at what happened.

Just as the Quasit protagonist was at a loss, a sudden thunderclap rang out, and an extra Succubus impatiently shouted: "Charge! Kill!" Then she swung her crab claws, cutting a Quasit (on her side) in half with a "snap."

This was like the starting gun. The two demon armies, already impatient, immediately abandoned their efforts to summon more minions and excitedly charged forward, engaging in a chaotic battle—punching, kicking, and slashing. The situation quickly spiraled out of control.

"Damn it! I haven't given the order to start the fight yet!" Oks shouted in a rage. But things had reached this point, and shouting was useless. After this shout, he also swung his club and charged in, extending his left index finger and firing a green ray at a Six-Armed Snake Demon, which was the famous Death Ray from the Necromancy school of magic. The Six-Armed Snake Demon let out a scream and rolled its eyes.

"This seems to be the second time he's made a Six-Armed Snake Demon roll its eyes today. Does he have a special preference for them?"

The Quasit protagonist thought this with a hint of malice—then he was pushed to the ground.

"MB said not to block the way, but you just wouldn't listen!"

Then a foot stepped on the Quasit protagonist's back, followed by a hoof, a claw, and another foot.

Plop, plop, plop—snap. Finally, a Quasit, about to enter the battlefield, suddenly felt his left foot being pulled. He fell to the ground with a "thud" and felt a pain in his back, his body gradually fading.

He used his last bit of strength to turn his head and saw the Quasit protagonist looking at him with a grim face, his claws dripping with blood. He knew the Quasit protagonist had killed him.

The Quasit protagonist, having killed a demon, felt no satisfaction. Seeing the extra Quasit turn to look at him, he stepped on his neck: "What are you looking at?! You pushed me once, and now you're pushing me again. Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"

"…It wasn't me who pushed you," the extra Quasit looked very innocent.

"…" The Quasit protagonist was taken aback, realizing that the demon who pushed him was behind him, the first one to step on him and move on. This Quasit was the fourth one to pass.

In other words, he was right; it wasn't him who pushed him, and he had probably killed the wrong demon.

But after another split second, the Quasit protagonist felt relieved: "Whatever, I don't care. You're a demon, and I killed you. What's the big deal? Besides, even though you didn't push me, you did step on me. So, I'll step on you too."

Then the Quasit protagonist stepped on the extra Quasit's neck. The extra Quasit, already injured, was on the verge of death. This final step sealed his fate. He rolled his eyes with a "gah."

He had a slightly unfulfilled look...

The first time the Quasit protagonist killed a demon, he didn't feel nauseous, guilty, or remorseful. On the contrary, he felt very excited. The sensation of his claws piercing the demon's flesh, piercing the heart, and twisting the throat made him feel incredibly satisfied.

The Quasit protagonist attributed this excitement to his alignment: "I am Chaotic Good. So, killing a Chaotic Evil demon naturally feels good. It's definitely because of this."

Thinking about this, the Quasit protagonist felt very proud. A sense of being untainted by the mire and remaining pure filled his heart, making him feel extremely good. At the same time, he clearly felt a force from the Abyss being absorbed into him.

His stamina recovered, and his body underwent a subtle change. He also vaguely heard a voice: "You have killed a Quasit, gaining 150 Abyssal Energy and 150 Slaying Experience. Abyssal Energy can be used for advancement, and experience can be used to level up your class. However, since you have not chosen a class, the experience is currently unusable."

"Things are getting more interesting," the Quasit protagonist felt relaxed and clear-minded—killing these demons not only gave him no psychological burden but also made him feel good. Additionally, there were tangible benefits. This made him feel that the life of killing in the Abyss was not without meaning.

—So, he swung his claws, roared, and charged towards another target.

Here, the Quasit protagonist once again demonstrated his difference from ordinary low-level demons.

Although he was in a state of "I'm so excited, I'm so excited," he still retained some rationality. Unlike ordinary low-level demons, who, influenced by the Abyss, became mindless killers, he carefully chose his opponents.

He did not recklessly challenge higher-level demons like Six-Armed Snake Demons, Spectators, Succubi, or the two Balor Flame Demons on the battlefield, as other low-level demons like Quasits, Vrocks, Quasits, and Babaus would do.

Fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, soldiers find soldiers, and generals find generals. The Quasit protagonist's strategy was very correct. His opponents were always low-level, small, weak, and poorly combat-effective minions. Especially Quasits and Quasits, which were the weakest of the weak, were his favorite targets.

As long as he paid a little attention and avoided the chaotic, unskilled attacks, he could target the throat, temples, eyes, and other vital points, and the opponent would die without hesitation.

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. Tear him apart, smash him, and twist off his head.

The Quasit protagonist felt he was about to become a god. A reasonable strategy and a reasonable fighting style made him invincible in these small-scale brawls. In a short time, he had killed a dozen Quasits, seven or eight Quasits, three Babaus, and even a severely injured Vrock by sneaking up and finishing it off. It was truly commendable.

As the demons continued to slaughter each other, the scene became increasingly chaotic...

The setting of the interdimensional portals is that when the summoner dies, the summoned creatures lose control and become free.

This chain of summoning can also be explained by the theory that "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal."

Taking the initial combatants, Oks, as an example, he summoned a Balor Flame Demon, who then summoned a bunch of demons. These demons summoned another bunch, and so on.

If the other side was overwhelmingly powerful and Oks' Balor Flame Demon was killed, then the bunch of demons summoned by the Balor Flame Demon, and the bunch of demons summoned by them, and the bunch of demons summoned by them, would no longer have any affiliation with Oks.

As the battle intensified, more and more of these chains were broken, and more and more demons lost control. These uncontrolled demons began to attack all demons not in their summoning chain, making the scene increasingly chaotic...
