414 Chapter 414

[Gate of Hell (Skill)]

Activating this skill will summon a gate towards hell. Be very careful of your every step for it might be your last.

"Gate of hell? Interesting." Aldred learned the skill just in case he wanted to enter hell.

He then glanced at the dead Grablax. His clones vanished which made the demon lord started to fall. The demons below watched with bated breath as their lord crashed to the ground.

Aldred set his gaze down and his eyes sheen with a cold glint. "Red Rain."

The dark clouds began to turn red and the air became hot for the demons. Cold crept to the back of their head, and when they looked up, they saw their lives flashing for a split second.

That was when 15 meter spears completely made out crimson flame fell upon them in huge numbers.

Aldred grunted in pain. This pseudo legendary skill was incomplete which caused this skill to consume his blood essence to activate. If that wasn't the case he would have used it with every chance he got.

"I have to find a way to complete this skill somehow."

Strannon widened his eyes, both hands trembling. Stath also did the same.

And so did everyone else that witnessed this event.

The demons army was completely cleansed in under a minute. All with a single spell from Aldred.

"If he have that kind of power… why didn't he use it first?" Stath commented.

"That kind of spell must have consumed a lot of mana," Stath replied.

Everyone had the same question and speculation. Why did he not cast that spell the first time? What was the cost to use that spell?

"Wait a minute. Isn't he a swordsman? How can he use magic?"

Everyone gasped in realization. They were too shocked by the spell that they forgot the caster could actually used sword as well. They had seen Aldred's battle against the demon lord, and they concluded that his swordsmanship was unmatched under the sky.

So how could a swordsman cast a spell?

That question may never be answered.

Suddenly, the crimson sky was replaced by clear, blue sky with white fluffy clouds. Then a holy light cleansed the land of corpses and blood.

A body of light came down from the cloud and approached Aldred. The light vanished and was replaced by the angelic woman they met before the test. Her charming eyes gaze upon Aldred with indifference.

"You have passed the test," her soothing voice came to Aldred.

"I know," Aldred replied.

"Before you go. Tell me who you are."

Aldred smiled. "I'm the demon king's son."

Then he was enveloped by bright light and vanished.

Aldred was teleported back to the platform high on the mountain. His friends were teleported there as well.

"That was a good fight," Mary said.

Mally hit Aldred's shoulder. "Good job, Aldred."

"That demon put up a good fight." Aldred nodded. "Though he wasn't as strong as Bafni."

"You still remember about that female robot?"

"I can't stand the fact that I was weaker than her. Only by defeating her can I rest well."

"So where do we go now?" Ivette asked.

Aldred pulled the astrolabe out of his inventory. The red orb spun and then a golden light came from above, struck the astrolabe and turned the red orb into gold.

Suddenly, it shot out a beam that expanded into a portal of light.

"I guess that is where we're going."

"Wait!" a voice came from above.

They all looked up and noticed it was the angelic woman earlier.

"Can I help you?" Aldred asked.

The woman looked at Aldred right in the eye. "I would like to invite you to become the guardian angel of our church."

"Ehh!"

"I am sorry, but I am not interested."

"Then what about a position in the middle order."

,m Aldred shook his head. "Not interested."

"This position will grant you immortality and great power. If you are worried about the treasure don't be, because this position is far more valuable than a mere chance to become an Adamantite Rank. Anyone else would have accepted this offer."

"That's the thing," Aldred replied. "I am not just anyone else."

The angel's cold face glared at Aldred for a few seconds before it turned into a smile. "I know you would refuse. By the way, we actually should give out rewards to how many demons you kill, but you killed too much that it took a while to count."

"Now, I am intrigued. So can I pick you as my reward?"

Mareona hit the back of his head. "That's an angel you're talking to. Have some manners."

"Ouch! I am joking."

"If you accept the position as a middle order angel, then you can have me anytime you want."

"Ohh… I am starting to consider."

His wives rolled their eyes at him.

Mally grabbed his shoulder with a wide smile on her face. "If you dare to accept that position I will put a rope on your neck, and pull you down to earth myself."

"Your friends and wives can join you in the celestial palace as well," the woman replied.

Aldred sighed. "Sorry, I can't. It was an interesting offer though."

The woman nodded. "I understand. Give me your blade. I will bless it with my power."

Aldred summoned his Phantom Doomblade and handed it over to the woman.

The angel felt all kinds of emotion just from wielding it. "What a powerful blade. It crazed for battle, blood, honor, and death. Not a weapon generally wielded an angel, but we do need something like this."

"It's not for sale if that is your intention," Aldred said.

"Of course not." The woman smiled and then caressed the blade. "Transius Acheiatis."

[Your blade has been blessed by Seraph]

[Your control over fire increase by 500% when wielding the blade]

[Your fire damage increase by 500% when wielding the blade]

[Your immunity to fire increase by 500% when wielding the blade]

[Your movement speed increase by 300% when wielding the blade]

[Your strength increase by 300% when wielding the blade]

"There. All done." The woman handed the blade back.

"Thanks." Aldred received the sword with a smile.

"I will also grant your friends blessing according to how many demons they killed."

She casted them with a bright light and their overall stats increased.

They were all happy to receive her blessings. Some a bit sad that they didn't kill enough demons.

"If I know I can get stronger by killing more demons I should have killed more." Baendjbi sighed.

Bartrem and his soldiers laughed.

"If you want to get stronger, killing should be your hobby," Bartrem said.

"That doesn't make any sense."

"I learned that from Aldred. Now look at how strong he is."

"You got a point." Baendjbi considered the advice. After all, Bartrem learned this from Aldred so it had to be true.

"Now you are all set," the angelic woman said. She approached Aldred and kissed him on the lips. "The offer will always be valid. I am waiting for you… demon king's son."

She said the three last word with a whisper before she vanished.

"They really wanted you, huh?" Mareona said.

"Aldred doesn't seem like a person suitable to become an angel," Mary said.

Aldred laughed. "That's where you are wrong. No one is more worthy than me to become an angel. After all, I am kind, helpful, forgiving, and spread all the good things about life to people."

His wives and even Bartrem rolled his eyes at that.

"Well, let's get inside the portal."

When they entered the light portal, they arrived in front of a mountain. People with robes walked towards it. On top of the mountain was a temple.
