Dis, the second level of Bato's Hell, is the iconic location of the eponymous Steel City.

The vast 'Dis City' sits in the middle of a huge circular jagged valley that occupies the vast majority of the entire second level. Its walls are enormous, its interior is almost infinite, and its hot streets are labyrinths where dimensional travelers are likely to walk forever on the road and never reach anywhere.

The buildings on both sides of the street are full of dangers and bad omen, so be careful when trading here, because if you are not careful, your soul may never belong to you again.

The layout of the city also changes frequently, and there are a large number of low-level demons working in the city, constantly demolishing old buildings and building new ones at an alarming rate, so the map is of little use here.

The entire dimension and the city are subject to the evil will of Dispat, the Lord of Dis, and the changes in the city are the reaction and embodiment of his mind. The ancient Grand Duke of the Devil is known for his scheming in the multiverse, with an extremely calm demeanor that never shows the slightest apprehension or uneasiness.

However, the newly built streets in the city became narrower and more crowded, reflecting the increasingly delusional and paranoid nature of the Devilish Grand Duke.

There is a prison in the city of Dis called 'Mantili', which houses a large number and variety of prisoners. There are mortals who have been imprisoned in the hell of Bato, there are paladins who have been imprisoned here since ancient times, there are invaders from the chaotic camp, and there are a large number of souls who have not yet been transformed and degenerated.

In a humble cage in this prison, our barbarian adventurer wakes up from a second-level coma.

He sat up slowly with his head covered, and opened his eyes groggily. As far as the eye could see, there were rows of metal fences covered with spikes, many of which were filthy black and red, and on which were the rotting flesh of some unknown creature.

"Am I locked up?" Barrett muttered to himself in the cage.

"That's right. On the other side of the wall on the left, a slightly hoarse voice replied, "Looks like you're a sane fellow, that's great, maybe we can be friends, haha, friends!" ......The voice coughed with laughter, and only gasped for breath after a while, "Can you hear me? We should talk more when we're all right." ”

"Where is this?" Barrett asked, rubbing his head.

"'Mantiri', the prison of the city of Dis, a place of infamy. The voice replied, "It doesn't matter where you came from or what your identity is, you are now a prisoner of the devil anyway." ”

Devil! This is indeed the devil's territory! This evil term instantly sobered Barritt to his senses, and he subconsciously touched his waist, but he didn't touch anything.

"Where's my sword?" Barrett shouted in surprise as he reached for his body again, "Where's my gear?" and then he looked at his hands again, "Where's my spatial ring?"

All that was left of him was the dirty, dusty, sweat-stained clothes, and all the other precious weapons and rings were gone!

"Hey, don't be stupid, my friend. The voice said again, "Isn't that a normal thing? Have you ever seen a prisoner who was imprisoned and still had his own weapons and equipment? ”

"Damn, I've got to get everything back. Barrett muttered to himself in hatred. That's all my savings, all of them! No one wants to take them away, no one can!

At this time, he remembered that his 'Resonance Tomahawk' seemed to have been forgotten in the Count's Mansion in San Nino City, and he didn't know which guy would pick it up.

"Want to get things back? Hehe, then you've got to find a way out of here first. The voice said, "I mean, get out alive, not lie down and be carried away." ”

yes, get out!" Barrett stood up, recalling in his mind's eye.

His former thief companion, François, told him how to escape if he was caught by a nobleman during his investigation and imprisoned in a dungeon. François also gave the barbarian a thief's manual called "Seeing the Light of Day", which contains a lot of tips related to prison escape.

But Barrett only looked at it twice before putting it away. Because the content on it is really boring, far less good than some books, and the barbarian doesn't think that he has the possibility of being caught, he is still quite confident in his martial arts.

In this environment, he missed the manual very much.

But Barrit still remembers what François had said. If caught, the first thing to do is to collect any objects that might be used in the detention space, such as stones, hard twigs, strips of cloth, soup spoons, or whatever.

Barrett turned and looked around. On the three gray-black rock walls, there were many incomprehensible paintings, the drawings and words were dark red, as if they had been drawn with blood, the floor was empty except for a straw mat that was so dirty that it was impossible to see the color, and in the corner was a humanoid white bone half-leaning against the wall, the white bone tilted its head, and its eye sockets rushed towards Barritt, but it did not rise out of place, and it was clear that the white bone had not become an undead.

What could be used? bones? dig out of here? Barrett walked over to the humanoid white bone and touched the row of pointed ribs on its chest.

Ribs are not good, although the shape is okay, but the hardness is generally too high. What about teeth? It doesn't seem to be very reliable.

"What are you doing? Word back, my friend!" the hoarse voice sounded again, "I can't think of how to get out of here." ”

Barrett didn't reply, but continued to frown and think.

"I advise you not to bother. The voice said, "This is the 'Mantili,' which has been around for millions of years, if not longer, but only five people have managed to escape from this prison. ”

"I'll be the sixth. He said lightly.

"I'm not done yet. The voice continued, "Although these five people did escape from 'Mantiri', they did not escape from the city of Dis, because everything that happened in this city could not escape the eyes of the devil Grand Duke Dispart, unless you were stronger than him." But this is obviously impossible, if you were stronger than the Devil's Grand Duke, you wouldn't be locked up here. ”

Disparte Barrett remembered the name, "Are you a prisoner here, too?" he asked, as he spoke to the other side of the wall.

"Yes, we're all prisoners, but that doesn't mean we're all criminals, does it. The voice laughed, "My name is 'Elvis,' and I'm so glad I can still remember my name." What's your name?"

"Barrett. ”

"Are you human, or some other race?" the voice asked, "I was sleeping when you came, so I didn't see how you got in." ”

"Humans. ”

"Ordinary people?"

"Why do you ask this?" Barrett frowned.

"It depends on how long we can be friends. The voice replied, "It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in Bato's Hell without protection, they are either slowly transformed into semi-purgatory creatures by the Hell, or they are directly degraded by their souls and taken by the devils." ”
