Chapter 53: First Place [1] - Utopia
Unbeknownst to most Devils in the Crucible, somewhere within its countless empty stretches of land, a vast city had quietly risen.
The city stretched for quite a few kilometers, while the loud voices and overall atmosphere made it clear that it was densely populated.
In one of the city’s many bustling streets, a scarlet-haired woman was currently walking alone, quietly observing her surroundings.
Looking at the gorgeous uniform buildings, pristine streets, and smiling, talkative Devils around her, Liora couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
Since her birth, her entire life had been spent amidst constant carnage and slaughter. This held true even when she stayed in the City of Embers, and later in the City of Pain.
Yet now, while wandering in this city, she almost had the illusion that she had returned to Earth.
Many Devils walked through the streets and passed by her, stopping from time to time to chat with their friends and greet their neighbors with wide, kind smiles.
"Ah—sorry!"
Suddenly, Liora noticed something hit her legs, followed by a loud exclamation.
Lowering her head, she found that it was a small, dog-sized Devil with crooked horns, who had stumbled and fallen on her.
The Devil lifted its head and stared at her with teary eyes, apologizing profusely with utmost sincerity.
Waving her hand to calm it down, Liora took a deeper look at it before continuing her walk.
Half an hour later, when she had visited most of the city, she didn’t leave, but instead found a random bar and entered it.
After finding a seat on the fourth floor, she ordered a drink from the polite waitress and glanced out of the window.
From that height, she had a panoramic view of the entire city.
"I have to admit: the Blasphemer did a fine job creating this city.
