In the middle of a red plain in the far west of the continent of the Ameisia plane, stands a majestic city, both of the floor tiles and the walls, made of crimson igneous rock. The whole thing has a dark red color, as if the whole city is burning. This is where the main shrine of the Church of Fire is located, St. Saxony.

Saint Saxony and Saint Lopec are the only two towns with their respective family names in front of their respective family names. There is no other reason than because these two families are of the blood of the gods, the god of fire and the god of life, the gods of the two churches respectively, and they are also the source of the bloodlines of the two families.

Among these two forces, the high-level people who control the clerical power are basically family members, and the church is just a peripheral organization of the family. The heirs of the family have a significant position in such a force, because each heir may be the future pope of the Church.

It's dusk, the streets of the city are bustling with people, and the shops are at their busiest, with all sorts of vendors setting up their stalls along the roadside. From time to time, children shuttle through the crowd, laughing and playing, a bustling and prosperous scene.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden roar from the towering tower of the main temple in the center of the city, like a cloud of magic exploding in it, and like the roar of a beast of rage. The moment the roar sounded, everyone in the city immediately fell to their knees without exception, trembling incessantly.

This is entirely a communion of faith, and usually only the most devout believers can feel the will of the gods when the oracle is dropped, but this time it is everyone who feels the message from the faith level. Only this time it was not an oracle, but a simple anger, a simple emotion that could make the God of Flame convey it so consumingly, you can imagine how angry it was. Under the wrath of the gods, mortals could only shrink and tremble, not even daring to raise their heads.

Over St. Saxony, the sky was a dim yellow sky dyed by the setting sun, but at this time it was already covered with a layer of flame-like clouds. They were surging in the air as if they were boiling, constantly changing into strange and unpredictable forms, like angry and roaring faces.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a red robe was walking quickly in the tower, and he soon reached the ninth floor of the tower, which was the top floor of this tower. A stone gate covered with inscriptions was hidden, and there were two guards at the door, both of whom were now on one knee. Although the gods are angry, it is their duty to guard this place, showing humility and still doing their duty.

When the two guards saw the red-robed man approaching, they lowered their heads and greeted, "Cardinal Babineau." ”

Babineau didn't stop, pushed open the stone door, and walked in.

Inside the door is a world of fire and magma, but there is a small crater in the center of a few hundred square meters of space. From time to time, magma sprang out and flowed on the ground like a long fiery red snake. The temperature of the entire space is raised to such an extent that ordinary people can't even survive here.

"Father. Babineaux bowed.

The crater seemed to calm down for a moment, and then immediately erupted violently, and a low voice came from the crater, "Nip is dead." ”

"What? Nipp is dead!" Babineaux was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes involuntarily showed a look of ecstasy. With a 98% purity pedigree, Nip is a once-in-a-millennium genius in the family, and will become the official heir when he reaches the age of 14. At that time, Babineaux will retire to the position of second in line to the throne, which is certainly not what Babineaux does not want. When he heard the news of Nip's death, he wanted to laugh out loud, but at this time, he couldn't express it indulgently in front of his father, so he couldn't bear it hard.

A flickering flame shot out of the crater and fell into the air in a flat shape, as if there was an invisible curtain in the air. The flames flowed all the way down, forming a vivid picture of two people in the picture. Nearby, a warrior with a long knife, and in the distance is a mage with a wand. This is the last scene that Di Gennaro sees through Nip's eyes.

Babineau looked at the two men in the painting, their faces were already covered with gloomy smiles, and he thought to himself, "Are these two men the one who killed Nip? ”

……

A cloaked figure walked on the lava, surrounded by billowing lava, surging to his feet, only to turn into black granite in an instant, becoming a path for him to pass through. This is a sea of magma, and there is no road in this magma, but wherever this figure goes, there is a road. On this road, there are countless corpses of devils.

This figure is the Lich King, Benjamin Nykremons, and this is the fourth level of Hell he broke into, Burning Hell.

After starting from the Hell of the Undead, he also went through the Arthropod Hell, the Blackwater Hell, and the Killing Hell.

Although they are also demons, each of the eighteen layers of hell is still hostile to each other, and some even die.

The second level of Arthropod Hell, where the Zerg are numerous but relatively low-level, and Benjamin's ice magic can trigger the Slowdown effect in a large area. There are also some Zerg who have strong magic resistance and are not slow to move, which has caused him a lot of trouble. After a long search, he realized that the portal was underneath the body of the Zerg Hive. So he burrowed into the body of a self-exploding bug, disguised himself as a zerg and squeezed under the brood's body, and passed through the arthropod hell without danger. The whole process lasted seven months.

The third layer of the Black Water Hell is completely a large ocean without islands, and all kinds of demonic beasts are surging in groups in that pitch-black ocean. Benjamin froze a large area of water through cryophilism, so that the demons in the water could not float up to fight, and only some spirit demons could attack him. As an undead creature, Benjamin is also known for his strong mental power, so he forced his way through with a spiritual spell and found a portal in the vortex in the middle of the black ocean. The whole process lasted four months.

The fourth layer of killing hell, the devils in this layer are mainly melee devils with high attack and high sensitivity, this kind of devil is extremely difficult to deal with, even if there is only a level seven little devil, it can cause damage to Benjamin. But Benjamin, as a saint-level powerhouse, can fly from the air, so he only needs to deal with a small number of flying devils, as well as a few nearby saint-level devils. However, he searched for a long time but could not find the portal, and it was not until the number of demons killed on this level reached a certain level that the portal suddenly appeared in front of him. The whole process lasted six months.

The first few floors seem to be very easy to pass, but Benjamin's luck is good enough. It just so happens that his ability can be able to form restraint in a certain aspect, thus reducing the difficulty of the previous layers. However, when Benjamin reached the fifth layer, which is the current level, his good luck ran out.

This layer is the Burning Hell, it is difficult to get the replenishment of the ice element, and the fire element consumes him very much. As soon as he entered this layer of hell, he found a nine-headed bird at the level of a great lord, and he knew that it was not conducive to a protracted war, so he came up with a strong attack and forcibly destroyed the nine-headed bird.

But the momentum of their fight also alarmed the other lords in the Burning Hell, and both the big lord and the minor lord came with their men to besiege Benjamin. As a result, he fell into a very unfavorable protracted war, and wave after wave of demons continued to harass and intercept him, so that he could not rest in peace, and the process of moving forward was also difficult.

In the blink of an eye, more than six months have passed in the Burning Hell, which is a dangerous signal. Benjamin, who came from the Hell of the Dead, knew that six months was a period of time during which the matter and soul of a layer of Hell would complete a cycle. In other words, the devil who was killed half a year ago will be reincarnated under the laws of hell after this cycle is completed. Of course, this reincarnation is not a resurrection, but a new life after losing all memories, and everything has nothing to do with the devil who died half a year ago, only the camp of order and evil has not changed.

Because of this characteristic, even if the entire hell can be emptied, after six months, it will be back to its original state again, and it will be full of demons. In the continuous killing, the number of demons in the entire layer of hell is getting smaller and smaller at first, but if you haven't been able to go to the next layer of hell through the portal for six months, then you will find that the number of devils is gradually increasing, and then it will be a war of attrition without a beginning and no end, and no matter who will be consumed alive.

Due to the experience of the nine-headed bird, there were also many discords between the other big lords, and they were afraid of stumbling on each other, so the lords only commanded on the periphery. Let a group of low-level demons rush up and attack Benjamin, and various types of low-level demons surround him from the inside out according to their ranks. Many low-level devils' attacks can't break Benjamin's defenses at all, but when they die, they will release a large amount of fire element, indirectly consuming Benjamin's own ice elemental mana.

"Is this the end of it?" Benjamin, who was already exhausted from the battle, looked down at a huge volcanic crater not far away, where was the portal to the next level of hell, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

At this moment, there seemed to be a light spreading nearby. Benjamin looked as hard as he could, and saw a golden light in the distance break through the fiery red clouds and shoot down from the sky, accompanied by strong spatial fluctuations.

"It's ...... The Gates of Hell Open?" Benjamin had seen the gates of Hell open in the Hell of the Dead, and he immediately recognized that this was a rare opportunity. He immediately raised his left hand high, and grabbed his thin palm upwards out of thin air, only to see that the space around him was distorted and grasped by him. Then he pulled hard, and countless fine spatial cracks suddenly cracked around him, and the light that was shooting down in the distance seemed to be pulled by this pull, and it actually changed direction in the air, shooting straight to Benjamin's side.

The golden light from heaven to earth struck and left a circular spot of light around Benjamin, but it was only for a moment that it was gone. After the light spot disappeared, a circular teleportation channel appeared out of thin air in the position where it illuminated, and this teleportation channel had a diameter of more than ten meters, which actually led to another unknown plane.

As soon as the teleportation passage appeared, a large number of devils scrambled to the other side of the door, driven by the camp concept in the depths of the bloodline, and the devils would flock to it desperately when there was a spatial passage. The demons that were originally around Benjamin were scarce in an instant, and the demons on the periphery were still pouring in, but their target was no longer Benjamin, but this teleportation channel. Only a few great lords in the distance, unaffected by the teleportation channel, were still staring closely at Benjamin's every move.

Benjamin smiled, as an ice method standing on the pinnacle, what could bother him was the endless siege. When the pressure on the number of low-level devils was reduced, he could no longer be overwhelmed by just a few big lords. I saw him raise his hands flat, and layers of crystals swirled and appeared in this plane filled with flames and lava, and the crystals continued to condense until this side of the world was covered with ice crystals. Some of the minor lords were even horrified to find that there was a little frost on the surface of their bodies. The lords did not hesitate any longer, and dodged around as if they were flying, until they returned to the background of the burning hell of the flames. Looking at Benjamin's location, the clusters of crystal flowers have quickly completed their initial bloom, blooming, and withering.

Forbidden curse, withered by death.

This beautiful mass, which defies the laws of Burning Hell, is quickly consumed by the scorching lava flames around it. However, when things returned to normal, Benjamin's figure was long gone. He took advantage of the retreat of the lords to break out of the encirclement, and disappeared in a flash at the huge crater not far away.
