The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 289

Chapter 82: Returning

“Ignorant humans, daring to attack the Abyss.”

“I thought you were capable of more, to be just a mere Champion Level!”

Lord Felton’s voice echoed from all over the Abyss, a cacophony of countless voices mixed together – the roars of men, the wails of infants, the screams of women. The jumbled mix of tones made everyone frown.

The sky was covered by blood-red clouds, and in an instant, Lord Felton arrived above the Winter City army.

“Huh? A Champion Level of less than twenty years old. In time, he will become a threat to the Abyss.”

“Keke… Unfortunately, you’ve walked right into a trap!”

“Then, stay here!”

A crimson spell array buzzed open, vast enough to cover the sky and shroud an area of a hundred miles. A demon city gradually materialized in the sky.

All sorts of demons scampered about within the strange yet magnificent structures.

Lord Felton, the Great Lord of the Abyss, was cautious and unleashed his trump card immediately. He even planned to drag his own palace over, not only to crush these humans but also to relocate.

“My apologies, Lord Felton. Your first layer of the Abyss has a pleasant environment.”

“The demons are hospitable and easy to kill. We’ve had our fill this time. We’ll visit again in the future.”

“I hope that when we do, you’ll bring your entire family to give us such a warm welcome.”

Xi Wei smiled calmly. The countdown in his vision ended, and the Resurrection Crystal had been analyzed and absorbed by the system.

They could leave now.

“Hmph! Empty words.”

“Want to leave? How?”

“This Abyss Teleportation Gate was built by my Abyss, and naturally, it’s controlled by my Abyss. I can close it at any time! Keke…”

Lord Felton sneered and raised his hand as if to grasp something.

A pitch-black demon’s large hand emerged from the ground near the Abyss Teleportation Gate.

With a *clang*, it firmly gripped the Teleportation Gate, attempting to drag it underground.

However, Lord Felton was astonished to discover.

He couldn’t move it at all!

The Abyss Teleportation Gate was as firmly fixed to the ground as if it were nailed down, utterly unmoving.

“How is this possible!?”

Xi Wei paid no mind to Lord Felton’s existential confusion. While Felton was stunned, he had already activated the teleportation function that had just been unlocked by the system.

“Buzz—”

Thousands of white threads drifted out from the Abyss Teleportation Gate, entwining the soldiers and players of Winter City. A profound hexagram array lit up beneath their feet.

Teleportation initiated.

“Well then, Lord Felton, goodbye.”

A mocking smile graced Xi Wei’s lips. His gaze at Lord Felton was filled with chilling killing intent.

A flash of white light, and all the humans vanished. The cliff was empty, with only dilapidated structures, as if no one had ever been there.

The light of the Abyss Teleportation Gate dimmed further and soon extinguished.

A gentle breeze blew as Lord Felton stood stunned mid-air, a sudden sense of desolation washing over him.

“Impossible! How could this be!”

After a brief moment of shock, the rage of this Abyss Lord, who controlled the first layer of the Abyss, reached its peak.

“Damn it! To dare toy with me like this! I will use my Origin power if I have to, to leave the Abyss and capture you!”

He roared, and a tsunami of terrifying crimson demonic energy surged from Felton, crashing onto the Abyss Teleportation Gate.

Today, he would forcibly open the gate, even at the cost of damaging his Origin, to bring back that human.

He would enslave that human’s soul and torment him with endless torture!

“Gate of the Abyss, open for me!”

Lord Felton exerted immense force.

But the Abyss Teleportation Gate remained stubbornly unmoving.

And it was about to disappear.

Demons cannot construct Teleportation Gates to the outside from within the Abyss Plane. They must rely on lower-level demons summoned to the Material Plane to construct the gate.

This is the rule.

This is why demons are so enthusiastic about bewitching mortals. They need humans to summon them through various sacrificial rituals. Only then do they have a chance to cause destruction.

The Abyss Teleportation Gate finally vanished.

Lord Felton fell into silence.

At this moment, the Demon City beside him had transitioned from ethereal to corporeal, its heavy structures crushing the cliff. However, under Lord Felton’s power, it re-formed and merged with the summoned Demon City.

“Lord Felton…”

Shea floated beside Lord Felton, her expression panicked.

“Who was that human?”

Lord Felton’s eyes flashed with crimson ferocity, as if he were about to tear the succubus before him to shreds.

“That… that person is the King of Winter. The Kolon Empire has fallen, and he is the new king. Speaking of which… your plans were also ruined by this human.”

As she spoke, Shea was already gripped in Lord Felton’s bluish-purple demonic claws. The feeling of suffocation intensified her fear, and she trembled, yet a trace of morbid pleasure surged within her.

“He likes demi-humans?”

Lord Felton brought Shea closer, savoring her fear.

“Yes… yes. The women around him are all demi-humans…”

Upon hearing this, Lord Felton pondered for a moment, tightening his grip on his demonic claws, even beginning to knead and crush them, causing the succubus in his grasp to let out a pained wail.

“Since he likes demi-humans, then send my collection to the Material Plane.”

“A demi-human princess, kekeke…”

“This human king will surely like my gift.”

“L-Lord, didn’t you intend to use that princess for…”

Shea’s body flushed, her eyes hazy. Even with her body covered in wounds, she still found it intoxicating. This was both pain and a reward.

“Now I’ve changed my mind.”

“A canary kept in a cage is far less useful than a poisoned pastry, wouldn’t you agree?”

Watching the succubus’s infatuated expression, a glint of greed flashed in Lord Felton’s eyes. He lowered his demonic claw holding Shea and sneered.

“Now, serve me and bring me pleasure.”

“Then you will receive the reward you desire.”
