"The breakout will happen in a week? Are you being serious?" Rozan was eating his pasta and looked at Aurea and Jeanne with shocked expressions. "The last breakout was less than a month ago though!" Rozan said as he chewed his food.
"Yes, and that's why we are going to kill Asmodeus before the breakout happens so District Six don't have to worry about the invading demons anymore," Jeanne answered as she put on her armored boots. "I need all of you to prepare," Jeanne looked at the others who were still shocked by the information.
Aurea turned on the TV and changed the channel. She saw Mykel and Lyneth making an announcent in front of the Guild Association building. They both announced that the Guild Association was planning on clearing the hundred-first floor of the Asmodeus Tower.
Rozan and the others gathered around and listened to their speech. They couldn't get their eyes off Lyneth because she looked dozens of tis prettier than the last ti they saw her. It was because of the dress she wore and all the artifacts on her body that boosted her appearance.
"God damn she's hot," Sven said as he covered his eyes and imagined the curves of Lyneth's body as if she was naked.
"Enough of that, we should get going. It's our first ti speaking with the dia so they all should be waiting for us in front of the Asmodeus Tower. Mykel and Miss Lyneth will be tagging along with us to District Six," Jeanne stood up and grabbed her sword from the display wall.
They all went to the airport and went inside the private jet that belonged to the Guild Association. Mykel and Lyneth with Elena were waiting for them inside. Everyone was curious about the life of Lyneth after she beca a Goddess and enjoyed their flight.
It was as they expected. Thousands of people were gathering in front of the Asmodeus Tower and cheering for them. In fact, the whole people from District 6 were cheering for them ever since they landed.
"We will be watching, and since you already know how to deal with Glasya, there's no reason for all of you to be feeling nervous. Good luck," Mykel said as he wrapped his right arm around Lyneth's waist.
"Boss, once this is over, can we have a party? We have never held a party before," Gunnar said.
"Sure, this ti all the Guild Association mbers will be partying for a whole week. But of course, it's better to do it after the breakout," Mykel answered with a smile.
Gunnar looked excited and punched his left palm with a huge grin on his face. "Don't break your promise boss!" Gunnar said.
Mykel chuckled and nodded with understanding, and then he watched as all of them entered the tower.
(At the sa ti in Asmond's office)
"It's going to be hard," Roxanne said with her legs crossed.
"Defeating Demon King Asmodeus? I don't think that would be a problem knowing they could easily clear three towers up to the hundredth floor," Asmond replied as he was looking for candidates that could help him run the association.
"No, I'm talking about making the Guild Association and Mykel as the bad guy here. Soon they'll achieve sothing that nobody in the whole universe can't get, and trying to put them down will be hard or close to impossible," Roxanne answered as she kept watching the reporters talking with Mykel and Lyneth in front of the tower.
"Based on my experience, a hundred deeds can be easily forgotten by a single bad deed. He caused the deaths of thousands of lives to summon three demons," Asmond answered as he glanced at the TV.
"I hope so," Roxanne closed her eyes and felt nervous. "By the way, have you found soone that fits all the criteria?" Roxanne stood up and tried to change the topic.
(On the hundredth floor of the Asmodeus Tower, Castle of Lust)
Rozan and the others entered Glasya's chamber, the place they fought her. They saw the red portal next to the blue portal, and they all decided to approach it.
"The hundredth and first floor. Are you guys ready?" Rozan asked and looked at the others over his shoulder.
"We got your back, dude," Gunnar said and the others nodded in agreent.
"Alright, here goes nothing," Rozan said as he entered the red portal and then the others followed him from behind.
[A group of Awakeners have entered and are challenging the [Domain of Demon King Asmodeus] and the fate of mortals is in their hands]
[All the [Constellations] are asking you to pray for their success]
"Damn, the system really put pressure on us like that, huh?" Vincze asked as he looked at the notification in front of him. "Anyway, don't you think this place sohow looks kind of familiar?" Vincze looked around and saw nothing but red soil, hills, and rocky mountains with a dark red sky.
"We are in Gehenna. Where else do you think if all the Demons ca from Gehenna?" Aurea asked back with her elbow resting on Jeanne's shoulder.
"Wait, we should be able to see that sky-tearing castle if this place is Gehenna though. There's no way sothing like that can't be seen," Sven responded as he looked at the castle that was as wide as the whole District, and the rest of the castle was covered by gray clouds.
"How big do you think Gehenna is?" Aurea asked with a smile. "If Earth is a droplet of water, Gehenna is a whole lake. Now you know why you didn't see it back then because it was covered by clouds, smoke, and mist," Aurea answered.
"Damn..." Rozan said in disbelief and loss for words. "I guess we enter the castle now?" Rozan nervously asked.
"I'll take the lead with Gerrard since big space needs keen eyes. Aurea you should stay on the back, the rest protect Rozan in the middle," Jeanne said as she walked to the front.
All of them nodded in agreent and entered the castle.
As soon as they entered the castle, they were welcod by powerful demon servants that could be on par with Glasya in terms of magic power. Rozan used the [Anti-magic Barrier] and it beca so easy to deal with while the others did the rest.
Two days had passed since they had explored the ground floor and checked every corner. They found a lot of hidden treasures with Edith's power, and all of them were basically items that increased their magic resistance. It was a nice gift since it put them all at a bit of ease.
"This place is almost as big as the Babel Tower, but the demons keep spawning out of nowhere so I guess we should just keep going up?" Gerrard asked Jeanne.
"Do you rember where the stairs were?" Jeanne asked.
Gerrard nodded his head, and then they all went to the second floor imdiately.
They realized as soon as they stepped their feet on the second floor, the temperature went a lot higher. Gehenna itself was already hot even with their [Elental Resistance], but on the second floor, they started to sweat.
"You all should be thanking for casting this portable AC just for you guys," Rozan said as an ice blizzard wrapped them and produced cold winds.
"But it limited our vision because of the mist. I guess there's no need to use that while we are exploring. You can use that later when we take a short break," Jeanne said as the thick mist that the ice produced as they lted.
They explored and cleared the second floor in a day and decided to take a nap before they went to the third floor. The higher the floors, the smaller the floor beca, but at the sa ti, it beca a lot hotter and they ended up raising their [Elental Resistance] to level 12.
"Fifth floor, and if it's not for Rozan, we are going to die of thirst..." Sven said as his face and neck were soaked in sweat. "Fuck! Why is this place so fucking hot! We raised two levels just from being here but it's still this hot?!" Sven asked.
"This is still the fifth floor, and we have no idea how many floors we should go to before we et Asmodeus. I think we might struggle from just being here," Rozan said as he looked at Jeanne and Aurea who didn't feel any heat at all because of their powerful resistance skills.
"So what's the deal here, Aurea? Can you give us a hint?" Lillith asked as she wiped her forehead.
"It's a trial from the Demon King himself. Those who survived the trial are worthy enough to be his opponent. That's basically it, and based on the rumors that have been going on between the demons, Demon King Asmodeus is interested in powerful n, so the higher we go, the more aroused he will be thanks to his Lust skill," Aurea answered.
"Oh hell no..." Sven said with a disgusted face.
"Prepare your ass, Sven," Lillith chuckled.
