Hell's Code of Conduct

Too long in the world. Jaeger asked, "Isn't that so?" "

"The souls of these humans still remain here, not all, but a considerable part."

"!! Really!" Jaeger almost jumped up, if what Leal said was true, this would be a major discovery, "But how did you see..."

"It's just a faint feeling, don't pay attention to these details. In Kasindur, Pale Moon's mission is to ferry the souls of the dead to the other shore, and those who walk behind him can be reborn." Leal shook his head , "But hell can't see the moon, so it can't extradite these innocent souls."

Pale Moon, and the latter sentence obviously lack a subject, but Jaeger feels that it is better not to bring it up. "In the final analysis, the Black Lamb has a direct relationship with the demons in the world, especially when the Black Death is raging in the world, the last one is simply a walking 'death'. Ah, speaking of it, the Black Death appeared more than 120 years ago. Could it be that the devil of the contract is—"

Leal smiled pitifully.

"Could it be... ah, don't tell me I don't want to know! Can't you hear me!" Jaeger yelled, covering his ears, "I don't know anything! Don't kill me!"

"You worry too much, Mr. Abyss Technician." Leal couldn't help laughing, and explained: "The Black Death desires something that this world can't give him, so that guy took advantage of it."

"I still don't want to know, so that you don't like me one day and click me..."

"What's the next click?"

"Why are you so obscene!" Jaeger's virginal heart revived, and he jumped away vigilantly.

"Ah, speaking of Kacha, bah, no, speaking of which, I have something to ask for your help."

Leal raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? I won't help you catch the angel."

"I know I know, this time it's easy. It's, that, do you have that..."

Jaeger's shy look made Leal have to think, "If you want 'that kind of medicine' like Huoguo, there are plenty of them in Shadow City, but as far as I know, there is no such thing as a tree like Betula. It won't do much."

"Your mind is full of yellow waste all day and night!" Jaeger couldn't bear it anymore, "I just want to ask you for a magic form spell!"

"The one invented by Kasimo?"

Jaeger nodded frantically, "Hmm, you must have a scroll for a spell that can change a demon's established shape."

"Is there a difference in what it looks like?" Leal teased, and imagined Betura's purely male or female appearance by the way.

"You don't have to worry about it." Jaeger stretched out his hand shamefully, "Bring it."

……

Leal and Jaeger separated after they came to the ground of Shadow City, and the little black cat ran over and jumped into Leal's arms.Jaeger walked out of the city gate out of sight.

The white-haired demon came up to meet him, but Jaeger was a little embarrassed for a while, "I didn't die this time, it seems that the contract will continue."

"Hmm." Betula seemed indifferent.

"Lai, Qingmo wants you to find out who was the person who picked your scroll before. He suspects that Oraisius's escape is related to the other party. After all, it will not be an ordinary mage who can come to your door to find orders related to making magic tools."

"Okay, I see." The white-haired demon nodded and wrote down, "When did you have such a good relationship with him?"

"How can I have!"

"Ahem." Jaeger saw this, and began to find nothing to say in embarrassment, "Ah, I heard that Leal said that he encountered a strange demon when he was sailing in the void sea, and he transplanted a deep sea demon. I made a pacemaker for him. The heart came from the self-sacrifice and dedication of a demon, although it is an exception, but I think this may be a strong argument that demons have empathy."

Betula blinked slowly, "That means that if I sacrifice myself, I can prove that I also have a mind, right?"

"No, no, wait! I didn't say that! And we won't, we are serious craftsmen, there is no occasion for you to sacrifice." Jaeger quickly dismissed his thoughts, and he felt that the atmosphere was right at this time. Slowly took out something from the bag, and handed it to Betula after doing enough mental construction, "...This is for you."

"? What." Betula took it, and the familiar touch made him wonder, "Birch bark?"

There is also Jaeger's handwriting on it. Of course Betura can read, but he doesn't quite understand these words, "My body is a birch. What does it mean 'You are my eternal rose' on it. Jaeger you Memory loss, that's a sign of dementia."

"Ahhh, don't read it out, it's too embarrassing!" Jaeger, feeling ashamed of his embarrassing poem, didn't know whether he should snatch it back as if it never existed, and quickly said, "It's that, that... ...Actually, after I entered the dark forest, I went to see the place where I met you back then. Er... I read a book when I was in the world. So the birch is, uh... a symbol of love, love (Note 1)."

Betula looked at Jaeger in surprise, "You wrote our first contract on me, so this is a new contract?"

"No! Ahhh what do you mean I feel like a pervert!" Jaeger blushed, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you must tell me the day you understand it!"

"If you understand it, you won't leave, right?" the white-haired devil asked seriously.

"Why do you always think I'm going?! I won't go, I won't go, I won't go, say the important thing three times!" Jaeger sighed angrily, "But if you want to leave, I can let you go, ah no No, you can't, others can."

Betula was inexplicable, "Why should I leave, and there is no other place to go."

Jaeger muttered softly, "You've already been able to stand on your own, all of you are so good... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He sighed, "Let's go."

Jaeger thought to himself, as for the magic shape spell, it is still too early.

Thankfully he still has plenty of time.

Betula carefully put away the letter paper, and said solemnly: "None of the nineteen members of the Endless Sea Artisan Group are left behind. Leader, the next stop is the Mamba Valley, and we will start our journey."

"Well, this time I went there mainly to investigate the relationship between the flow of magic power and hydrology. Ah, when it comes to the flow of magic power, the flow of magic power in the Void Sea is irregular and there have been no new discoveries. I don't know if all waters are the same. so………"

Mr. Abyss Technician, who can't stop chattering, leads his demon members to the next destination.

Hell used to be human too.Jaeger Grant wants all life to live better, so he does a lot of things.

The road to truth is rough and bumpy, and it is better to be accompanied than alone.

……

Leal hugged the cat and watched them leave in a mighty way.

"You don't seem to have eaten much these two days? If you want to eat, let's grab it and eat it." Leal lifted the cat up and gently shook his warm and soft body.

"Meow~~"

"Well, my lord, and His Majesty the Green Demon."

Leal turned his head and said to the demon general who had just appeared: "Gotto, the artisan group has already set off, thank you for your hard work."

"Where is it, I'm ashamed that I didn't help you." The tall and thin man with a mustache said tentatively: "It's about time, should you two start your journey?"

"Where to go."

"Meow?"

"........."

Ge Tuo saw that one person and one cat didn't realize what he had forgotten, so he had to remind him, "The Sifang King meeting is about to be held, and Caixiao also sent a message, guessing that His Majesty Qingmo is visiting in the dark forest. Inform."

"Oh..." "Mi."

Felinnai and Leal recalled together the things they had forgotten.

"I see." Leal nodded, stroked the cat in his hand, and asked Ferinnai: "Is there any demon you want to eat in the general, let's go and see."

"..." Ge Tuo, whose body was a fox, stood there speechless, praying that the black beast would not suddenly think of him and eat it for dinner.

Leal smiled and glanced at Gotuo, stared at the latter with horror, and finally left slowly with the little black cat in his arms.

"The green devil can really tell the difference between the two of them..."

After they left, Ge Tuo had a feeling of narrow escape, thinking that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he left here immediately.

Shadow City will probably be vacant for a long time.

……

at the same time--

world.

It was already late at night, and even the bustling towns during the day showed their gray fangs.On the streets where people come and go, there are only a few people rushing home occasionally, and even if there are people wandering slowly, they are drunks who have drunk too much, and almost no one pays attention to "him".

"He" walked aimlessly on the street, and the shadow illuminated by the street lamp was projected onto the wall, but it presented a strange scene. The shadow was not a complete human figure, but a black beast with teeth and claws.If you look closely, even "he" is surrounded by black shadows, and the image of "him" is always erratic, sometimes it is an adult man, sometimes it is an immature girl, from a half-human child to a crooked old woman , Maybe he didn't even realize that "he" changed different images while walking.In the end, "he" seemed to remember the person who exiled "he" here, so he fixed himself in the same appearance as that person.

The tall and handsome adult man walked into the alley. He recalled the clothes worn by the pedestrians who had just passed by, and made himself an identical suit to wrap around his body.

He slowly covered his forehead trying to remember, but his mind went blank, he couldn't remember who he was, but he knew clearly that he was a shadow.

whose shadow.

"This gentleman." Someone stopped him at the end of the alley.

He walked over.

"The night is already very deep, why do you linger here?" The face of the speaker was hard to see, and the voice sounded very green.

"...I don't know," he replied.

The person standing deep in the alley raised the corner of his mouth, "Then do you know your name?"

"I..." He tried hard to remember, remembering that someone had called him before.

"Ferris, that should be my name."

"Into the Darkness" finished.

=======

Note 1: It is a Russian folk tradition to write love poems on birch bark. In many literary works, birch does represent love.

The second story "Deep Darkness" is finished~ I wanted to start the third story right away, which is a transitional chapter. The Sifang King has dinner, ah no, the Sifang King has a meeting!After that, I will start to write the second chapter of the past, but the umbra transformation needs to be explained, so let’s advance the past chapter.

So starting tomorrow is the second chapter of the past, Leal from the world to hell, the glass slag in the miscellaneous candies of Black Beast, Felinnay and Ferris...

Past Part Two

If love could overcome instinct ([-])

Moon Lake Town got its name from a full moon-shaped lake less than [-] kilometers away from the town.The climate here is very good, even in the midsummer, there is a cool wind.

Leal loves this place, but occasionally has little annoyances.

"Leal—where are you? Has anyone seen Leal?" Dorothy is the most beautiful girl in Moon Lake Town. Originally, she had always thought highly of herself, but after Leal traveled to this town, she became so arrogant. The girl is just like other men and women. Every day, intentionally or unintentionally, she will pass by the downstairs of the hotel where Leal lives, thinking that she can have a word with Leal who just went out, and have a wonderful encounter or something.

It was fine at first, but since the innkeeper's daughter sent flowers to Leal delicately, he could only sneak away through the window at dawn every day to prevent harassment, and didn't come back until late at night when the crowd dispersed.

Leal often goes to Moon Lake to cool off during the day, and the most important reason is that few people come to this place.

Two years ago, he took off his mask to restore his eyesight, and he has been to many places since then, without any major disturbances but no novelty, which made Leal think of staying.

He hoped that the scenery there would be pleasant, but it had to be sparsely populated. The scenery near Moon Lake was the most satisfying for him so far.

As for the need to search for a deserted place, the reason is in his shadow.

Another two years have passed, and the Black Beast still doesn't seem to be bored and intends to leave him.But these days the Black Beast has become more and more silent, even if Leal talks to it, sometimes there is no response.

On this day, Leal was sitting under the tree with a novel on his lap, and there was finally a long-lost movement in his shadow.

"There is a gate to hell less than a hundred miles to the east from here." Black Beast's deep voice was mixed with a touch of impatience.

"You haven't given up yet." Leal turned a page casually and emphasized again, "I won't fall into hell."

"Okay." Seemingly having received some kind of confirmation, Hei Beast asked another question, "Do you like men or women."

"Man." Leal had already answered a series of questions before this, whether he liked roses or lilies, vanilla or mint, steak or lamb chops, black or white, and so on.So he explained his answer immediately, "Kasindor used to have a very perverted goddess, so women, especially women who are too beautiful, I feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart... That's right. It's really unfair to other women, but I did try my best."

Leal stated flatly: "I like tall and handsome men. What is the aesthetic of hell?"

"Few demons in hell take human form, and it's a disgrace to be imprisoned in a small human form."

"So a powerful and invincible demon like you won't take human form? Fortunately, I still have to wait for a long time." Leal was laughing at himself and sarcasm.

The tumbling shadow was silent again, and Leal confirmed that the black beast had left, and his posture of pretending to be relaxed gradually relaxed.He let out a long breath and looked at his open palm, the layer of cold sweat had just faded away.

To this day, the existence of the black beast still scares Leal, who can devour him as long as he moves his mind a little, so why is he still playing tricks with him here?

However, he himself who is attracted by the black beast is also a strange person.

"Are you thinking about it?"

There was a sneer in Lyal's ear, and he called it the Shadow of the Black Beast.

"...If the black beast knows that you are talking to me secretly, you should be scattered by it again." The shadow of the black beast is also a part of chaos, but it is obviously much weaker. Leal doesn't feel much discomfort, but Still keep a distance from it.

"It didn't kill me once or twice. Although as a shadow, it won't dissipate completely, but I can't get used to this kind of thing." The shadow floated in front of Leal. The Shadow of the Beast has a humanoid outline, "It is preparing to give you a big surprise."

"What?" Leal frowned.

The relationship between the Black Beast and its shadow was at odds, and Leal didn't know whether to listen to it or not.This shadow is much smoother than the black beast, but it is this very human-like feeling that makes Leal feel that the shadow is not simple.

"Since a surprise is called a surprise, it's boring to say it, isn't it? But I promise you will never forget it." The shadow performed a very gentlemanly etiquette to Leal with the outline of a human figure, and then disappeared in Leal's field of vision middle.

Leal was lost in thought.The Black Beast seldom talks about its shadow. They seem to be in a relationship that cannot be shaken off or eliminated.

Leal had prepared a name for the black beast, but he never had the chance to tell it. Of course, the shadow also had a part, but he guessed that the dark beast would never allow his own shadow to have a name.

The mottled light and shadow fell on the opened pages, and a small spot of light swayed with the breeze. This novel is very interesting, but Leal has no mood to read it for the time being.Today, he just took the truck from Yuehu Town to fetch water from the lake and returned to the town. This time, he was not surrounded by crowds, because everyone in the town was preparing for the Midsummer Festival celebration.

Midsummer Festival is a rather grand festival in the local area. On this day, every family will set up a stove at the door to boil milk and grains.Young people sprinkle flowers along the street and decorate the street with silk and satin, while children chase and fight with toys made by old people with local methods.Everyone was busy, and Leal stepped on the petals all over the street at a loss. At this time, Doro happened to pass by and invited him to the evening dance.

"It's right by the Moon Lake, and there are grand fireworks to watch." Doro also looked like a shy little girl in front of Leal, shyly pinning the sideburns that had fallen down because of helping with work behind her ears. , said to Leal: "May I ask you to dance then?"

"Thank you, I'll take a look." Leal didn't give a clear answer, but it might be that his smile had made Dorothy feel at a loss, the girl ran away immediately, and Leal had a bunch of her in his hand. The stuffed wild lily.

"I think there must be many people in this world vying to use their actions to make you smile, Leal." The shadow of the black beast appeared beside Leal again.

"I said that you are not allowed to come to the town, even you." Leal walked quickly to a place where there was no one, and the shadow naturally followed.

"There is a huge difference in power between the shadow and the main body. I don't have as much influence as it does." The swaying shadow whispered mockingly, "Are you angry?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Leal breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm not angry." He looked at the silhouette on the wall and asked, "Why is there such a relationship between you and the black beast..."

"Do you want to say that water and fire are incompatible." Shadow's tone was very flat, "It's actually okay, it just likes to kill me when it doesn't go well."

"You all have independent consciousness, and the body and the shadow are always together, why don't you try to live in peace."

"You should tell the main body about this."

"Okay." It's not that Leal didn't mention it, but the black beast sneered at it, as if they had some irreconcilable contradictions that were difficult to reconcile.

Shadow only said a few words to him before disappearing without a trace.

There were no demons in Leal's original world, but the gods and some evil spirits of the evil camp played such roles as disasters for the world.

Do demons always say this and hide ten sentences?

After enjoying an early dinner at the hotel, Leal followed the residents of Moon Lake Town to the lake that he visited during the day, and the celebration was ready to begin.

This may be the time when Moon Lake gathers the most people throughout the year. Under the sky full of stars, Leal saw Doro wearing a flaming red dress from a long distance, holding her skirt and kicking the water in the shoal by the lake. , someone called her name, Doro turned around and found that it was not Leal who called her, and there was a bit of disappointment in the girl's shy expression.

The bonfire as tall as two people has been lit, and the sparks are flying into the sky, reflecting the night sky of stars and moon.Leal narrowed his eyes slightly, admiring the scenery of this worthy painting, and lamented in his heart that there are many joyful things in this world.

Leal stepped toward the firelight, only a few more steps to join the jubilant crowd.

But before he even took half a step, he was entangled by a tentacle-like shadow. "Black beast?"

There was no response, but Leal was completely obscured by the shadow that covered the sky and the sun.

"Is Lyal coming? Lyal—?"

The voice of the girl in the red skirt wafted in the distance, Leal sighed and retreated to a place where no one was there, and found a piece of dry grass to sit on the ground. "You're keeping me from seeing the fireworks. Are you having a fight?"

"Leal, what do you think love is." As if suppressing the manic breath, Hei Beast's tone was much deeper than before.

"'Love never ends'. (Note 1)" Leal thought over and over again, remembering that someone had said this to him in the past, "but it also needs restraint and patience."

The black beast sneered, "So you don't know what love is."

"I really only follow the script, but you and I are each other." Leal put his hand above the head of the beast shadow, "I want to give you a name."

"There are many titles for the Black Beast, I don't want a name."

"...Okay." Leal was a little disappointed.

"For me, love is possession." Black Beast said his answer, "I have your love, and you have mine. We have come a long way, Leal, but you have been refusing to accompany me .”

"Isn't the present companionship companionship? A part of you can come to the world, and I can also live alone for you." Leal was puzzled, "Do you want me to fall into hell?"

"No." The black beast gave an answer that Leal didn't expect.

"You have fallen in love with this world, and I really want to respect your wishes."

Leal raised his eyes suddenly, and a panic-stricken atmosphere spread out centered on Moon Lake, and the laughter in the distance stopped abruptly, as if all the happiness in this world had been swallowed up by this darkness.

It was a strong and suffocating demonic energy, which was so powerful that it covered the entire lake in the blink of an eye.

Leal stood up abruptly, "What are you doing!"

The black shadow still enveloped his body arrogantly.

— "I'll drag this world into hell, Leal."

=======

Note 1: Love never ends. Loveneverends. From the Bible [-] Corinthians.

The place name Yuehu Town first appeared in Chapter 12.

It's a bit Calvin

It's been a whole month since the opening of the article!

If love could overcome instinct ([-])

Even Leal, who witnessed the battle of the gods, has never seen such a scene. The black lake under the night sky should reflect the galaxy in the sky, but now it seems to be soaked in black ink without reflection. What is churning is not the lake water but thick The dark shadows and the weird and unusual atmosphere made it seem like something terrible was about to emerge from the lake.

Is this the power that the Black Beast should have?

"Stop! Are you crazy!" Leal didn't doubt that the black beast could do what it said, which is why it was really frightening.He waved away the black shadow in front of him and ran to the edge of the lake, just as he saw a huge and ferocious black shadow claw protruding from the center of the lake.

At this time, Leal still doesn't know that the gates of hell left in the world are the residual passages left by the devil when he came to the world in his original body.However, if a monster with incomparable power like the black beast tries to open the road between the two worlds and come to the earth, it will undoubtedly bring disaster to the world.

Leal only felt extremely dangerous, and at this moment he realized that he could not stop the black beast at all, it could poke a hole in the world, just for himself to be unimpeded.

He has been trying to kiss the fire on the tip of the knife, so he is the one who is overwhelmed.

"Leal, you and I will meet eventually." The trembling voice of the black beast caused black ripples in the lake, "You will witness my true form, and the world and hell will become one. I abide by my Promise, share my throne with you, and together we will rule the two realms."

"Enough, I don't want these at all!" Leal trembled in his tone, he couldn't think of how to restrain his trembling, "The world is not a place for you to get your hands on!"

—Wouldn’t it be nice to accompany me in my shadow all the time?I could have chosen to live forever for you.

The blackness is spreading, the lake and the vegetation are swallowed by the endless shadows, the dark beast has already protruded half of the body in the hollow, and Leal stands alone on the edge, his face is more mournful than incomprehensible.

"Go back." Leal said with difficulty.

"No." The black beast answered him in a thick and deafening voice.

Leal closed his eyes and stepped into the darkness.

"...Then devour me." Leal was caught in multiple shadows, "Felinnay, this is the name I wanted to give you. Black beast who doesn't know what love is, don't let me really take it Fear mistaken for obsession."

"No." The black beast answered him, "I can't see a brighter light than you, and there is no existence more worthy of devouring than you. This is my love, Leal."

The shadow pushed him out of that range, and Leal closed his eyes wordlessly.

The wind has stopped, the flowers have withered, life is gone, and the world has turned into a chaotic black.

The shadows consume everything like fire, like an endless nightmare, Leal is unstoppable, seeing the thing that can distort the vision in front of him, this dark beast has completely lost control.

"It's a beautiful sight, isn't it?"

The shadow approached quietly, with a playful tone.

"Can you stop it?" Leal asked.

"Of course I can't do it. And why stop it?" The Shadow of the Black Beast let out a suppressed laugh. "Leal, do you know what it is that you love?"

The shadow's malicious voice was close to Leal's ear, "—the boundless darkness that can swallow everything, the existence of the black beast is much earlier than the birth of the gods in this world. As long as it moves its mind, it can destroy everything in front of it. The beauty is completely destroyed, but why does this world named Cassinola still exist after tens of thousands of years?"

[Stars outside the realm. 】

It wasn't the black beast and its shadow, a sound that hit his head made Leal groan in pain.

"you……"

"Ah, the god who has exhausted his strength against the former black beast asks for your help."

The shadow spread his hands, and continued: "The resistance of the world itself is better than nothing, but the master who rules the shadows also has a shadow, so—"

[Chaos must never be a disaster for the world again.I have called you here from far away, and you have come too late, hell has fallen, and there are many demons there to bring disaster to the world. 】

[...But the biggest threat is this dark beast, and the earth will be completely destroyed if it is ravaged by it again.I don't have much power left, so I can only rely on you after this time. 】

The two voices spoke together to Lyall, who held his forehead in discomfort.

As soon as the words in my mind fell, a strong wind suddenly blew, violently even blowing away the shadows.The clear starlight in the wind can pass through the shadow screen, and the lake water also becomes clear and deep.

The roar of the black beast resounded through the sky, "It's you! Incompetent god!" Its body eaten away by divine power is being repaired by its own shadow, but the black shadow is also becoming dimmer and dimmer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it is even difficult to see it. Maintain a bestial appearance.

Leal had a very bad premonition in his heart.

During the encroachment and regeneration, the black beast in the lake lost its shape and turned into a mass of raging darkness.

"Lai... Yar..." Darkness stretched out his hand in the direction of Lyal, as if wanting to tell him something.

"I just... want to..."

Leal bit his lower lip, wanting to touch it involuntarily, "As long as you give up dragging the world into hell, I will always be by your side."

It fell silent suddenly, "Is that so...then remember what you said."

"Black beast...?" Leal was used to the other party's ridicule, but this time his tone was a bit sad.

"—."

The spreading darkness flowed back to the center of the lake, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.It is silent, and no longer blackens the earth, but it seems to be swallowing its own interior while expanding and contracting.

It is difficult to perceive the flow of time, the last ripples are silently annihilated, and the darkness that devours itself finally turns into stagnant water without thickness. Only a moment later, the black beast surrounded by shadows reappears, and it is no longer in a state of just getting out of control.

Leal breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Go back, Ferinnai."

"You must have a name for me too, right?"

Leal looked up in shock, the familiar tone was the usual tone of the shadow, but it was uttered by the black beast in front of him.

"who are you?"

"Of course it's a black beast." It was more "excited" than ever, "Ha... so you don't know what happened just now."

It suppressed ecstasy, "Although the gods are not easy to use, but at least my goal has been achieved."

Leal was puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"It took many years to replace it in my plan, but fortunately you appeared, Leal." Now the black beast said: "I told it, you probably long to conquer your own existence, and it never did before. Ignore this kind of provocation, but this time I took the bait, maybe you are really different, and it really loves you."

"Love." It laughed uncontrollably, "It's so interesting, because of this word, it lost."

Leal took a step back, this is not a black beast, but a shadow.

"Tell me the name you prepared for me, otherwise I don't mind finishing what it just didn't finish. This time, there will be no god or something to stop me." Shadow's threatening tone was particularly flat.

"...Ferris," Lyall said, "what the hell is going on here."

"Ferris, I like this name." Shadow seemed to be savoring the sound of the name, and after digesting it for a while, he told Leal viciously: "If you want to know what happened, go to hell. Look, that guy tried every means I failed to lure you to hell, and you will follow my words and come to find out the truth."

Now the Black Beast came to Leal in the silhouette of the man it was when it was a shadow, and bowed gracefully to him, "I said it will bring you a day you will never forget, and next time we meet again, Believe in hell."

As the voice faded away, it dissipated in place.

The sound and all the breath of life returned here, and Leal was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and asked, "...Black Beast, are you here?" He tentatively looked at his shadow, but there was no reply for a long time.

Leal's inner unease slowly expanded.

Just before his eyes, the black beast that wanted to drag the world into hell was suppressed by the gods who had been silent for a long time, but what happened next was unimaginable.

The shadow replaced the original "black beast"?

Is it because he has been at ease for too long, that's why he was so caught off guard when malice came to his face?

In the shadow's eyes, is love such a vulnerable thing?

Leal moved his legs, which had been stiff from too much tension just now.The black beast told him that there is a gate to hell less than a hundred miles east from here.

=======

Leal, who doesn't know what umbra conversion is, is still confused

If love could overcome instinct ([-])

The bonfire of the celebration has long been extinguished, and Lyal walks around the mess.Human beings' fear of darkness has long been deeply rooted in their bones. The residents of Moon Lake Town fled in panic when the disaster happened, but at least they were not implicated.

The starry sky was still there, and the bright moon hung high. Leal kept going east under the moonlight, but he didn't know what the gate of hell looked like.

"Come out and meet me, the god of Cassinola." Leal knew that a glorious civilization had been established in this land, but it eventually collapsed due to unknown reasons.The weakness of the gods is related to the black beasts that once caused harm to the world, so why is there no trace of the black beasts that once ravaged the land?

Who is lying?

【Are you going to hell? 】The voice was as soft as a breeze, and Leal guessed that he had been so weak that he was almost integrated with nature, and he couldn't even condense his body.

"Tell me the way to go to hell as a living person." Leal said while walking, "Seeing that you were also a member of the Kingdom of God, I don't care what you hide."

[I am happy to help, but after entering hell, you can only rely on yourself.Also, I want to make a promise with you. 】

Leal sarcastically said: "You still have the strength to negotiate terms with me now."

[I know a way, a way to return to the Kingdom of God. 】

Leal took a breath, but immediately recovered his indifferent look, "Isn't it you who called me here?"

[I'm very sorry, I called you out of necessity.As long as the roots are not destroyed, the devastated land can gradually recover.Believe that Kasyndur is now back to life, your homeland and relatives and friends are waiting for you to go back. 】

—they won't be here anymore.

Leal thought.However, he still agreed to the other party's proposal, "You want me to help you restrain the black beast?"

[Yes.If you can make the black beast no longer threaten the human world, you can return to the earth, and I will tell you the way to the kingdom of God. 】

"Okay, remember what you said." Leal didn't really care about this, he was more eager to go to hell to find out than anyone imagined.

The gate of hell is a twisted space channel.He stretched out his hand, and a weak force of nature clung to his body from his fingertips and then lingered around his body. He used this breath to disguise himself as a dead person. This is the way God said to enter hell.

Leal stepped through the door.

The god who didn't even have a body watched Leal disappear into the world, and the blowing wind symbolized his sigh.

[... I summoned a star from outside the world, he is a sacrifice to the Lord of Chaos. 】

[This is an agreement that can never be fulfilled.Whether it is the black beast devouring the star, or the star killing the black beast, they will be entangled for a lifetime, and Cassinola will always exist. 】

The gods who returned to nature showed their last smiles, and they disappeared completely.

In this way, there are no gods in this world anymore.

……

What is hell like?Leal didn't get much information from the black beast.After passing through the gate of hell, he didn't have to walk a long way as he imagined. He just took a step forward, like passing through a normal door, and came to another world.

The night sky here is starless and moonless, the sky is dim, and there are low bushes all around. At first glance, the scenery is no different from the world.Leal could feel the pervasive demonic energy, but because he had just had the experience of being nearly dug into a hole by a black beast's paw, this level of demonic energy could not give him the intuitive feeling that he had already arrived in hell.

Leal spent several hours traveling to the nearest town.On the road, there is a carriage that can be used, but the horse that pulls the carriage has no head.The human coachman has a face that makes people unable to eat. He grinned and said to Leal that he can give him a free ride as long as he sips it once. Leal, who sensed the smell of the inferior charm spell, rejected people thousands of miles away. They bypassed the carriage in other places, but found that many people were still hit, so they followed them from a distance.

The Kuoyazui coachman specially preyed on good-looking humans, and "harvested" a carriage of prey by stopping and stopping.These people affected by the charm spell sat in the car with dull eyes, not making noise, like a group of docile lambs.

Not all human beings who have fallen into hell have direct contact with demons. There are many innocent people, but Leal cannot save them all.

Fortunately, the carriage loaded with too many people was not moving fast, and Leal was not far behind it, barely keeping up with it, and came all the way to a decent town.

The building here is old, like an antique hundreds of years ago, but it is much better than Leal thought he would see a barren land.Leal was not familiar with the road and lost the carriage, so he wanted to find a place to stay.He looked left and right until he found the store with the hotel signboard, and just as he was about to walk in, he was patted on the shoulder from behind.

"Handsome guy, I advise you not to step in." The gloomy voice prevented him from pushing the door in. Leal turned around, and a guy with a deep cloak hiding his face in an exaggerated mask approached him very familiarly. To Leal's ear, "This store is also known as the Cannibal Hotel on our street. The people who go in are either fed into the belly of the devil or sold to the lair of the lemur. You look so good-looking, I will give you Can you recommend a better place?"

Leal brushes away the approaching hand
