The world centered on Roland was gradually swept away by a black and cold cold wave.

It was enough to freeze the voice, the soul, the mind, and lead everything to a cold dead silence.

Around Roland, the world began to fall silent.

At first the small ambient noises disappeared, then the sound of the metal of the knight's armor colliding and the strange sounds of the demons walking faded away, and then even the words and praises, roars and curses faded away.

After that, the ground made of flesh seemed to be half dead, suddenly inactive and no longer spreading, no longer piercing sharp bone spikes, and the eyeballs that grew from the ground slowly closed.

And those black ice layers that were clinging to the ground and slowly spreading suddenly increased their speed several times after losing the strength to resist. The thick black ground completely froze the entire land, covering the anomalous flesh and blood. It looks like normal frozen ground.

It's just that the ice is black.

At a point where the ground is completely black, the color of the object gradually loses. Everything in the world has become a strange black and white silent movie, which is terrifying.

But Roland didn't panic in the slightest.

If he's not mistaken, this is the outer layer of the Underworld.

Although the Fallen Underworld Plane is only a miniature projection, it also has almost all of the properties of the Underworld. While most of the souls of the Underworld are received from the walls of Aum, it also has the ability to search for and capture souls of its own.

Roland was all too familiar with the scene.

If he's not mistaken, this is the perspective of the player's characters running away after they die.

In other words, although they seem to be different from the real world only in terms of colors and sounds, they are now considered to have entered the underworld.

Although they are only the outermost layer of the underworld, they have also entered the underworld.

To be exact, only Roland and Elukado entered the underworld.

The next moment, Roland watched as the huge ball of ice smashed down on him and passed through it like an illusion.

The projection of the underworld slowly smashed into the huge void leading to the abyss. The surrounding mushroom blankets shook with a roar, but still didn't make any sound.

It is not accurate to say that it is "slowly". The speed at which the Underworld falls is not slow, and it can even be said to be a little faster than ordinary falling objects. But it is precisely because it is so huge, and because its fall did not cause an explosion, that it gives the illusion of this.

However, after the black ice crystals stuck in the entrance to the abyss and killed a group of demons by the way, they did not cause any damage to the ground. Under Roland's control, even Claudia and the others were not harmed in the slightest, and slipped away from the light mask around them as if it were just a terrifying illusion.

And the devil is different.

There aren't many demons that have been captured and sent in by the invisible tentacles of the outer layers of the underworld. These very few lucky people were directly killed and crushed by Elukado as soon as they entered.

And many more demons were directly smashed and crushed into slag by the thick and heavy ice without exception.

In addition to the dying Windwhisperers and the followers of the Ring of the South Wind who were easily crushed to pieces by the huge meteorite, the other cultists within Roland's strike range were also crushed to death by the huge meteorite. Even after the huge black ice ball smashed into the ground and easily blocked the small gap thousands of times smaller than it, it did not stop because of this.

It's still sinking—

It did not teleport directly into the abyss through this channel, nor was it sucked away by the abyss. It simply kept its posture. Passing through the blanket of black ice, lifeless and lifeless, it sank to the bottom of the sea, without even a single splash.

After the underworld was crushed, the demons were long gone. The passage to the abyss disappeared at some point, leaving only a piece of flesh wrapped in black ice floating on the surface of the sea like a floating board.

At this time, Roland had already entered the abyss along that path.

It doesn't matter if the entrance isn't big enough. Just follow the line of the demons that are constantly pouring out, and chase them in the opposite direction while crushing them.

Happily, Roland and Elukado were sent to a new dimension and landed smoothly with a loud roar.

Roland suddenly felt that the connection between him and the three Sages had been disturbed, except for the connection between the Sleeping Master and the fact that the communication channels of the remaining two Sages were directly blocked. Only Nerora, who has a heart-to-heart relationship with Roland, will not be hindered by this connection.

There, the ground was dry and cracked, the water turned to blood, and green flames burned in the parched crevices, and a scorched, cracked breath poured out of it, making lips dry.

There is no doubt that this is the abyss. The origin of demons, the appearance of the four elemental planes after being polluted, and the world where the elements and laws have collapsed. A miserable green fire elemental made up of rancid sludge all over its body, an earth elemental made of plasma, and a monster with multiple elemental properties at the same time.

Other than that, apart from the corpses of these demons, which could only be used as alchemical materials, there was no water or food that people could eat.

If you don't have special preparations, you won't be able to escape much after entering this world.

The only way out of the abyss, apart from the small gate that had been destroyed by Roland, was to escape all the way to the northernmost part of the abyss, and then swim back to civilization from the southernmost part of Faennes, a sea full of broken islands.

There is no doubt that the people who can survive in this world are all demons without exception.

After Roland appeared, a large circle of strangely shaped demons quickly surrounded the huge black ice ball.

But before they could see who was inside the puck, a crystal scepter stabbed out of the puck, piercing the creature's head, and the silvery-white flame burned it to ashes.

"I have a dry grave as a house, floating earth as a grave, decay as a father, and insects and ants as my mother—"

Roland's steady prayer gradually sounded among the giant stars of the black ice, and the fire of despair and prayer ignited inside the puck, lighting the puck like a lantern.

"- By the mercy of the Lord, grant me an eternal sleep!"

Just as Roland's sonorous prayer fell, the sound of breaking the ice came.

In the next instant, the projection of this huge and incomparably incomparably underworld exploded directly!

The raging black storm was released with Roland as the center, roaring to sweep and cover the earth, instantly freezing the dry and cracked earth, the green and dim yellow flames gradually extinguished, and the cold hurricane carried the broken ice ball fragments in all directions, piercing and killing the demons, the silver-gray light flickered on the black ice picks, and the holy fire that gave people a sense of calm quietly devoured them.

With Roland as the center, the entire abyss was quickly dyed black. The abyss was frozen by Roland at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the terrifying dead silence spread rapidly, and the strange silence engulfed the entire abyss.

It wasn't that the Underworld had self-detonated, but that it was under Roland's control, unfolding itself in a more aggressive way.

Just as it had drawn Roland and Elukador into the underworld—

- It's trying to swallow the whole abyss and freeze it completely! (To be continued.) )
