Chapter 1649 The Hell Gate
Players have been able to go to Hell due to the Hell Gate that was conjured up. Players could also change their race to Devils if they succeed in a mission in Hell. The ones that made the Hell Gate appear has already changed their race to Devils and has a good reputation in Hell.
The players that did not want to become normal humans anymore has already changed their race to Devil. The devil race has an incredible affinity towards Dark Attribute magic, and they could also have another secondary magic talent. They are definitely the reverse of angels as their overall appearance and aura are different.
Angels have pure skin that glows when light reaches it which makes them glow as if they are gems. Devils, on the other hand, became incredibly alluring as they get a perfect shade of shadows when they are in a dark area. Angels have wings like that of a dove or whiter in color while devils have wings like that of a bat with shades of red to black.
If angels have halos that are made of pure light hanging on top of their head, then devils have a spiked tail that can hit anyone. An angel's halo is the status of an angel as more halos meant that the angel's power is also greater. For devils, their spiked tail also increases in spikes if they become even more powerful.
Angels and Devils were unable to descend onto the world when the Silver City or Hell was yet to be unsealed. They were able to be summoned through the use of rituals and such, but incredibly powerful angels or devils were never summoned. The angels and devils have made sure that their realms would be unlocked as they were making humans give them things as sacrifices.
Unlike the Silver City that only has one main citadel, Hell is separated into seventy-two sections where different Devil Nobilities rule. Each of the seventy-two sections are also vastly different from one another as they are actually the areas shaped by Devil Gods so that their separate entity could rule. Since Devils have broken free from the taboo of the Goddess of Light Luminaria, seventy-two devils managed to ascend into godhood.
One might say that devils should not become gods but any being powerful enough to get divinity to a certain degree can become a god. The devils that also live in each of the seventy-two areas also know who their creators are as they were created by their respective Devil Gods. This is also one of the reasons why there can never be a Devil with the abilities of two different devils.
Each of the players that wanted to become a devil can choose from seventy-two different devil species because of this rule. There are also some zones in Hell that are not under the seventy-two devil nobilities, and these are called War Zones. Devils are beings that cannot truly die in Hell unless their existence is erased.
Devils have always relieved boredom by continuous fighting which is why War Zones are extremely famous. Any devil that wants to test their ability to fight will go to War Zones as any winner in that zone will earn infamy and even the status of nobility. Devils have a ranking system based on their victories in War Zones.
Each War Zone has specific rankings up to a thousand and there are about twenty War Zones. The highest in ranking for each War Zone will garner the attention of the Devil Gods and will be given a blessing. Any devil that is blessed by the Devil Gods will have been given an item called the Devil Dark Stone. n.-O))V-(e)/1//B.-I--n
The Devil Dark Stone is an item that can make a Devil evolve into their next rank which means in is an item that can directly increase the Persona of a Devil. The Devil Dark Stone is an incredible item that can only be given to Devils as well. This can also change the race of anyone into a Devil should they choose to become one.
The players that did not want to change their races into Devils as there is a penalty for changing races has now eyed the Devil Dark Stone. This race change item is actually able to change the race of the player without sending them back to level 100. A lot of high-level players that wanted to be devils have already started their climb to become number one in the War Zones.
"We died again." Basil stated as they respawned in Devil Kingdom 68 where the nearest War Zone is located.
"Ark is incredibly sought after as an opponent which is why we always die but we do get lots of enemies to defeat." Pana stated as he also respawned.
"Sorry about that. I thought that it would be a good way to train in Hell since I am hunted down by angels in the Main World." Ark stated as he cannot freely move in the Main World due to the angels always tracking him down.
"If not for the dragons, then you would have been captured already. You are lucky that Basil is able to command them as they please. Those angels really want to kill you or maybe offer you to their leader. You are such a 'hot' guy." Pana stated as he teased Ark.
"It is not my fault that I am the key to make the leader of the angels incredibly powerful. Even the Fallen are telling me to keep low but I cannot exactly do that easily." Ark replied.
"They could detect you if you just used the slightest bit of Light Magic and you are walking light magic stick. Your ability to handle dark attribute magic has become incredible as a result though." Basil stated.
The three are in Hell in order for Ark to train his light magic as he cannot do so in the main world. The Devils are not as interested in him compared to the angels as they only view Ark as unique. A Nephilim that has the power of an angel and a devil is incredibly rare which is why devils often challenge him when he is at a War Zone.
"Still, we are also here to investigate the ones that opened the Hell Gate. Elder Ascalor told us that the Hell Gate seem to be getting more powerful as of late which is why more powerful devils are going to the main world. It would not have been a problem if they were indifferent, but the devils are too indifferent." Ark stated.
There are devils that have already went to the main world as the Hell Gate provided access to them just as it provided access for humans to Hell. Devils would have been easily able to integrate to society if they did not only care about themselves. They are indifferent to others and would only care about themselves even if they hurt others in the process.
The Daemos could not do anything to the Devils because it was the humans that created the Hell Gate. The Hell Gate has already integrated to the world as well as the energy in Hell can now be felt in the Main World. Monsters near the Hell Gate have also evolved into monsters that can be found in Hell as well.
"We have been here for days now but the other residents in this kingdom are not informed about the Hell Gate becoming more powerful. It must be the work of a Devil Nobility if the normal devils are not involved." Basil stated.
"Should we involve the guild then?" Pana asked as most of the guild members were not even in Hell as they are busy with what they are doing.
"They are busy as well. I would have told our guild master, but he is off helping other people." Ark stated as he knew that Adrian was helping Frey, but he did not know that he was already a bit free at this point in time.
The three of them were debating to know what they would do next, but the entirety of Hell suddenly started to shake. This was the first time ever since the players have entered Hell that it has experienced a tremor. What the players did not know is that Hell has already experienced this before, and it is when a powerful Hell Beast has awoken from its slumber.
[A Hell Beast has awoken from its slumber.]
[The Hell Beast will appear near Devil Kingdom 54.]
[The Hell Beast has crystallized a Devil Dark Stone.]
Three notifications are received by every player inside Hell but there is only one notification that they paid attention to. The Hell Beast has a Devil Dark Stone inside of its body which means that it will be the most sought-after beast in Hell. What the players did not know is that the Hell Beast awakening is a plot that was done to achieve something else.
