Chapter 658 Stepping In to Hell

"This doesn't look right." Eris looked down at the massive brown robe they made her wear and the stupid-looking goggles, mask, and long leather scarf they intended on wrapping around her head.

"He'll is a place of pain and torment. Even I won't survive for long exposed to the elements there. Wear proper protection so you would suffer the least, hopefully not suffer at all." Zephyr buzzed like a bee between the girls, landing at Aella's head.

"I can't go as I need to remain here and set the other side of the spells," Merlin said with an apologetic face, "Out of everyone, you're the most durable one,"

"Anything I should know about hell?" Eris asked, covering her face with the mask.

"The lower you go, the harsher the environment gets. The gate would drop you at the peak of a mountain in the first layer of hell, Avernus. At such high, you'll only feel a bit of discomfort and irritation, probably get an annoying itch all over your body from the acid, but nothing more." Zephyr stared at Eris.

"And I guess the lower I go, the more dangerous it gets," Eris replied.

"Pretty much, at the mountain base, your skin would melt and boil from the acid, and in a matter of an hour only bones would remain, at which you'll get resurrected as a sinner to be melted again, over and over for eternity." Zephyr waved her hand.

"That set of equipment would protect you for almost two hours." Merlin approached, "Avoid fights at all costs and try to set the spells and items then run back to the gate as fast as you could."

"Of course, I'll avoid fights," Eris stared at Merlin with her fists resting on her hips, "They won't just waste my time, but those protective gears could get damaged, at which I'll have even less protection,"

"That's true, so be careful," Zephyr nodded, "I did think of sending Nina, but she's clueless about magic, and I doubt she'll be able to avoid starting fights."

"The sooner we get it done, the better," Eris waved her hand, and Merlin conjured a massive hell gate.

"This place," Eris mumbled, staring down the mountain she landed on, "Is foul." Her sharp eyes spotted some sinners, desperately crawling toward a pile of rotting corpses, hoping it would explode in fire. Their bodies were tied with steel chains hinged on their bones, binding them to hell for all eternity.

"And this is only the first layer," She started walking down, heading for the location Merlin mentioned. ^Go to the mountain base where you could find a massive crack in the ground, and throw the items there. And for the spells, cast it close to a pool of lava. The bigger the better,^

"Clear directions, but where the hell do I find those?" With each step she took down the hill she could feel the hell's air around her getting denser, the cursed mana rising, and her itch grow stronger.

"Why don't they climb up here?" She mumbled, staring at the sinners crawling far at the bottom of the mountain, "With what Merlin and Zephyr said, the top should be better,"

"An intruder?" A voice came from behind Eris, and she rapidly turned, seeing three naked imps glaring at her, "Entrance to hell is forbidden,"

"Then should devil's entrance to the mortal world," She smiled beneath her mask, glaring at the three devils glaring down at her.

"Big words for a mortal," The imps giggled, "We're the from the jailer's battalion of Avernus. Our job is to make sure the sinners keep to the lower levels and suffer. If we found one of them crawling up here five times would throw them down one of the pits," They pulled long, three-headed red spears.

"I'm no sinner," Eris stared at them, lifting her hand up, "I'll throw you down the pit. Do your job and search for sinners,"

The imps giggled, "Pin really has a strong mistress," They put their spears away, "He left word for you. We imps won't bother you, but don't tell the higher devils we're ignoring your existence, you'll get un in trouble." One of them flew down and pointed his spear in a direction, "There is only imp watch in this direction, take it and keep low so other devils won't spot you,"

"Pin talked to you about it?" Eris asked.

"Of course he did, the bastard wouldn't shut up about how powerful and a strong mistress he got. Seems his claims were right, seeing you made your way to hell." The imps giggled.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
