One hundred and fifty-seven. He was wearing a black trench coat from the past, and the color on his
The demon with wings spread has its fangs exposed, and its ferocious face is enough to scare the most daring warriors to tears. The shadow shrouded by its wings is like a dark cloud, and the eternal flames of hell burn along its back.
Facing the intruder, it roared loudly:
"Stupid intruder, you dare to break into the territory of the great, strong, and most famous hell lord, Baha Vagrit, and you will be burned to ashes together with the door behind you that allows you to escape!"
Ophelia suddenly burst into heat, and the gaps between her body lit up dark red, like a hellfire demon flowing with lava.
"I...can't feel it...it's...very...powerful!"
Ophelia, who was protecting Lu Li, stood ready.
"Or it doesn't exist."
Lu Li walked out from behind Ophelia, came to the side of the "Roaring" "Lord", "Baha Valgrit", and stretched his hand behind his back.
clatter
The low growl and roar suddenly stopped after randomly switching off.
Without the roar, Baha Vagrit is just a lifelike statue that is constantly burning and motionless.
It is placed in front of the gate of hell, looking down with oppression, almost blending into the cave. If it is an ignorant existence that steps in ignorantly, it may really escape back to the gate of hell with a low roar.
"Why……"
Ophelia's aura no longer improves.
Lu Li recognized "Bahá Vagrit" because of an oil painting that hung on the wall of the academy in Himfast that was Anna's family estate. It was called "The Valkyrie and Baha Vagrit"
.
It was a famous painting, and fakes and stone statues can be found everywhere in Himfast.
"The meaning...is?"
"Methods to deal with intruders." Lu Li said.
The radio needs charging, Hades is probably still alive.
But they have Hades' other tests to deal with.
Ophelia restrained her breath, and as it continued, Pusius, who was unconscious, was cooked.
Walking into the deep cave entrance behind Baha Wagrit, they entered a dark cave where the sound of footsteps echoed.
"Have you taken care of the reptile guarding the door?"
"You feel contempt in your heart, do you think it's nothing more than this?"
"You...don't realize what kind of enemy you are facing?"
Whispers echoed in all directions.
But after first assuming that Hades was the person behind the scenes, it seemed that he could hear a familiar shadow in it.
"That's just a trivial one, the first level... You still have to deal with hundreds of enemies and hundreds of tests, and each time it becomes more difficult... After you die, your souls will return to hell, which is not your world, nor you.
of gods."
"It's not too late to regret now..."
The direction of the sound could not be distinguished, and of course the radio location could not be found. Lu Li and Ophelia ignored the whispers and continued moving forward. Just in case, Lu Li was not too far away from Ophelia.
The cave is bigger than expected. Before this, the area around the Gate of Hell was just a cramped space where you had to lower your head and walk.
This is a big project, and it would be difficult for Hades alone to accomplish it, not even in twenty-four years.
What changed, or is Hades not alone?
However, the second level was the last test and the third level that followed had not yet been completed. They left the underground directly through the unfilled secret passage.
Before leaving, Lu Li paid attention to the inverted pentagram mark on the back of his hand. It did not become hot or light up because Lu Li returned to hell.
This is good news. For some reason, the Marked Devil didn't know he was coming.
Red and yellow are the eternal colors of hell.
Desolation and heat are another.
It seems like a fortress is being built here.
The fortress is beginning to take shape, with a circular wall on the edge enclosing an open space hundreds of meters in diameter. There is nothing in it, not even a house.
At this moment, there are more than a dozen lemures digging rocks and transporting stones outside the city wall. They have collars around their necks, restraint devices on their faces, and what looks like a protruding snout from a distance.
Not far away, in the center of the open space, a figure lay lazily under an umbrella chair, bathing in the heat and sulfur smell of hell.
Not only was Hades not assimilated to hell, on the contrary, he lived a very nourishing life here.
Better than most people on the ground.
"Hades."
Lu Li's voice was blown away by the hot wind filled with the smell of sulfur.
The figure under the umbrella chair woke up with a start, looked around blankly and found them. He overturned the low table in excitement and strode over.
Ophelia thought she would see their friendship reunited, but she only scolded and complained from far to near.
"You damn bastard, even if I hide in hell, you won't let go of my wealth. Let me know what's missing from my treasury. No, no, no, no, no, no! Impossible!"
Hades, who was approaching, noticed Lu Li's still young and handsome face and shouted in pain.
"I have lived in hell for more than 20 years, and there has been no change!"
Lu Li replied calmly: "Twenty-four years have passed, and I haven't changed because of another thing."
"It's not important!"
With the sand and dust wrapped around him, Hades rushed to Lu Li and glared at Lu Li with his bloodshot eyes: "Did you bring any money?"
After Lu Li took out the 10 shilling note, Pusius snatched it away and stamped it on his nose intoxicatedly.
"Oh...the delicious taste of money...I feel so motivated...give me more!"
"Psius is being followed by a group of pagans, we are going to put him here temporarily."
Lu Li ignored Pusius' greed.
Ophelia responded and lifted up the unconscious Puseus.
"Slimy, wet monster puppy... you're always dealing with these monsters huh?"
Pusius showed an exaggerated smile that was familiar to Lu Li, showing gold teeth.
"The accommodation fee is thirty shillings per day, food is extra."
"Can."
"Give me the money first!"
Lu Li gave him enough shillings to live in Pusius for a month, signaled Ophelia to put Pusius down, and continued: "His consciousness is not stable, don't take it lightly."
"You reminded me, I need to add 10 shillings."
Hades raised an index finger and ran back to the umbrella chair, rummaged through and found a muzzle of the same style as the Lemur and buckled it on Psius.
The last bit of his threat is gone.
"We'll be back in a few days."
After settling Pusius, Lu Li prepared to leave hell.
"Leave? So urgent?"
Hades, who was skinny, slovenly, and looked like a crazy old man, was stunned.
Although he talked vulgarly about money, he was indeed happy for Lu Li's arrival.
"There's still things to do."
They have many questions about each other.
But Lu Li can't stay here for too long. If the heretics come, they will be trapped in hell.
"Okay... 1,053 shillings, the rest will be used as a nutritious meal for the little one. It's really pitiful to see how thin it is..."
Amid Hades' endless chatter about his money views, Lu Li, who had briefly stayed in hell, returned to the top, changing from midsummer to cold winter.
"Hell...seems...better than our...world..."
Ophelia remelted the fading magma and filled the basement.
Over time, the cooling magma will re-hide the Gates of Hell.
"Because there hasn't been any weird invasion there."
Waiting for Ophelia to finish, Lu Li stepped onto the steps holding an oil lamp.
The symbol on the front of the steps flashed away under the light of the oil lamp.
Lu Li discovered it, it was the symbol of the Church of Shadow.
