Chapter 557: Three Levels of Great Hell

Only a few demons knew that Zacharite had a family. After all, he hid them so well for many years. However, there was no secret that couldn't be kept. The time came that Great Demon Ball caught wind of this and immediately dispatched his people to confirm this.

Upon discovering the truth, the great demon immediately delivered a kill order for Zacharite's family. After all, it was a breach of law when Zacharite decided to keep his daughter knowing it wasn't allowed.

"If you want to take revenge on him, I can help you with that. We have to face him sooner or later, so let's do this." Jin Rou could see the intense hatred in the demon's eyes, "However, in exchange, you will be the forever guardian of the two friends I made here."

"You mean that emperor and ancient king brats, Your Majesty?" Zacharite was elated when he heard Jin Rou would help him, "Of course, as long as you can kill Baal for me, Your Majesty. My life is yours."

Jin Rou smiled. Beings tend to sacrifice themselves in order to seek revenge and vengeance. It was a natural emotion yet it was scary when it got out of control.

The Great Hell had 32 great demons in the past. However, it was now reduced to 10 since the 22 great demons either died in battle or died of age.

Although the hell had only 10 top beings, they weren't to be underestimated as all of them were ranking shoulder to shoulder.

Furthermore, the Great Hell consisted of three levels which needed to pass through to reach where the portal going to the Upper Immortal was.

The Level 1 Hell was where Jin Rou and Zacharite currently were. This was the the place where poor demons were enslaved to make a living. It was literally a hell for demons with the lowest status. Every year, many demons commit suicide when they experience the true hell of this level.

The Level 2 Hell was where some of the great demons lived and made territories. It was a place that only those with status could roam around.

And lastly, the Level 3 Hell. It was the highest level of the Great Hell and this was the turf of the most powerful Great Demon, Baal.

"How can we get to the Level 3?" Jin Rou asked.

"We need to go to Level 2 first. There is no shortcut towards Level 3 as it was heavily guarded by great demons." Zacharite shook his head.

"I see." Jin Rou pondered for a moment, "So we really have to take the trouble of going first to Level 2. Sigh."

He couldn't help but let out a sigh. It would take more the time since they needed to pass one more level to reach the last level but he had no choice either. He wasn't familiar of this place and wouldn't dare to wreak havoc like a mad man.

"Where is the portal towards Level 2?" Jin Rou asked, "We should get going so that we won't waste so much time."

"It is a bit from here, but I can use teleportation since I left a mark there in the past." Zacharite smiled.

"Now that's a good news." Jin Rou smiled. This demon was becoming more useful to him.

"But let me remind you first, Your Majesty." Zacharite said seriously, "There will be demons and great demons by the portal towards Level 2 since it is guarded to prevent lower beings to ascend."

"So a fighting might be inevitable." Jin Rou could understand what Zacharite was trying to say.

"Yes, since we will push our luck, they will naturally fight back." Zacharite was mentally prepared for this and said, "For sure, Great Demon Belial will be there too. After all, he is the main guardian of that portal since time immemorial."

Suddenly, the demon remembered a bitter past where when he tried to ascend, Great Demon Belial blocked his bath and almost killed him if not for the treasures he had.

"Let's go." Jin Rou didn't want this demon to be exhausted by his emotions so he interrupted him, "Time is precious."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll prepare the teleportation immediately." Zacharite took a deep breath and said.

In an unknown domain, two entities wearing the same red and black robe were facing each other. Each of them was sipping tea with elegance. Although they had sharp and long ears, it couldn't hide their overly handsomeness that could capture anyone's heart.

"Zacharite has returned, and brought a company with him, huh?" The man with white long hair smiled, "It has been a while. I didn't think that he will have the guts to return."

He was named Baal. The one who stood above the laws of the Great Hell. He was a terrifying being that killed all of those who opposed him in the past. He was also the reason why Great Hell was standing independently as of this era and not had yet to be swallowed by any powerhouses.

"Yes, what shall I about him?" The man in red hair asked with urgency.

"Belial, why are you in a rush? Surely he will come for you and try to kill you. Take note, that demon has this kind of trait ever since." Great Demon Baal laughed softly, "Don't worry. If my calculations are right, he will be trying to ascend to Level 2 Hell. That will be your chance to kill him."

"Then what about the human he is with?" Great Demon Belial asked, "Our laws restricted us Great Demons from killing innocents unless it is reasonable."

"You don't need to kill the human for now. You can enslave him or anything." Great Demon Baal said, "However, let me remind you not to underestimate that human like you always did. Zacharite will not bring a useless human here just to make him a bait."

"I understand." Great Demon Belial nodded. He was fully aware of this attitude of his.

"Now, go after finishing your tea. Those two will arrive soon by the portal." Great Demon Baal smiled, "It was nice seeing you again after so many years, by the way."
