Shadow of the Beautiful World

What is hell like?

This problem has been described in various religious myths of human civilization. To be honest, human self-imagining is actually quite boring. No matter what religion, the description of hell is actually similar.

The unquenchable flame burns the souls of sinners, and the heinous ones are hung in chains to confess their crimes in constant fear.

There are also gloomy and terrifying hell minions, noisy low-level demons and devils such as imps or lemurs, responsible for torturing those who are unwilling to atone for their sins. Their wailing sounds are like the background music echoing in hell.

In those myths and legends, the whole hell seems to be a large-scale labor camp for souls. Under the appearance of horror and pain, there are warnings to persuade people to be good.

But in fact, how can the real hell be so tender?

How could the demons and demons living here be free enough to redeem souls?

Snapped

The Red Devil swung his foot and kicked the corpse-like thing that was staggering forward on the hot barren sand in front of him to the ground.

Just because it blocked the Red Devil's way forward.

The walking corpse that was kicked down didn't dare to fight back, the red devil's aura originating from high-level demons made it tremble, it could only hold its head in fear, lying on the ground trembling.

It's the lowest thing in hell.

The Red Devil is like a guide, introducing Merlin and Colossus to Hell for the first time behind him:

They were ordinary people who did nothing during their lifetime, and fell into hell because of some sins, but their souls are ordinary in Thailand, and they can't even look down on the lowest level of demons. .”

Sounds awful.

Merlin commented without emotion. He looked at the group of corpses staggering forward on the barren sand in front of him in a scattered line, and asked:

Where are they going?

The abyss, their decayed shells will serve as nests for larvae, and their meaningless souls will become the food for the next batch of abyss worms.

abyss?

Merlin asked:

That doesn't sound like a good place.

The Red Devil glanced at the direction of the depths of hell, and said in a low tone:

It's not there.

The abyss, there is the birthplace of the abyss worm, and it is the pit of origin of all the demons in hell. Whether it is a terrifying big demon or a weak and weak demon, they are all born from there.

They have exactly the same starting point, but they have completely different destinies. They have been fighting each other since their birth. Those who are not vicious or cunning can only be trampled underfoot. Only the true geniuses can climb Get high.

The Red Devil shook his head, and said with emotion:

This is the rule of the demon world, which is a hundred times more straightforward and ten thousand times crueler than the rules of humans.

Hmm, interesting rules.

Merlin said with great interest:

It's no wonder that the creatures in hell are famous for their violent madness. The desire for slaughter is engraved in their bones, just like the carrier that supports the soul. Unfortunately, we are not here to travel, although this knowledge is really wonderful.

He glanced at the rotting corpse crawling forward with its hunched body in the red sand on the ground. He looked back at the red devil Asazo, and said:

Do you know where Velasco is?

You're going straight to Velasco?

The Red Devil looked at Merlin and the Colossus behind him with a strange expression. He shook his head and persuaded:

I advise you not to do this. That guy is the lord of the border of hell, not to mention that it is the most powerful spellcaster in this dimension. As long as it is still on this land, it will be protected by this land , all the forces here will help him. Challenging it in this place can only court death.

We're not looking for him.

Merlin says:

We're looking for someone else, I heard she was with Velasco.

she?

The Red Devil narrowed his eyes, he glanced at Merlin, then at the frowning Colossus, he said:

That must be a very important person to make you cross hell just to see her.

That's my sister.

Colossus said in a deep voice:

She was kidnapped by Velasco when she was a child.

oh.

The red devil Asazo shrugged his shoulders hypocritically, and said with some regret:

That's a pity, but I doubt it. Even if you find her, she won't agree with you anymore, poor little friend, the high demon Belasco has a bad reputation in hell... His favorite thing to do is The cholera spreads to the hearts of the people, rolling up large-scale wars and massacres, just to sacrifice to the evil god it worships.

You came too late, your sister may have been brainwashed to become the most loyal devil's minion, or even worse, if her appearance fits the devil's aesthetics...

These malicious words made Colossus's expression suddenly darker.

Stop saying these meaningless words!

Merlin scolded in a low voice:

If you can't help, just shut up, stand aside, and don't make trouble!

Of course I can help, new friend Merlin, don't be so irritable.

The red devil flicked his claws and said slowly:

This is hell, where demonic forces are active, and you have to suppress the surge of desire in your body at all times, otherwise bad things will happen.

As for the way to find that poor girl, I have it!

The Red Devil looked back at Colossus, and said:

Is that your own sister? Are you sure she wasn't adopted?

Sure.

Colossus frowned and replied:

What's wrong with that?

Of course there is!

The Red Devil took out an evil skull from his pocket. It didn't look like a human head. There were green rays of light beating in the eye sockets of the skull, and there were two delicate horns on the forehead of the pale skull. In short, it looked very evil. different.

In the field of occultism, the bonds between bloodlines are closer than you imagine, especially in hell, a place where spiritual power is concentrated.

It only takes a little bit of tricks to greatly strengthen the mutual induction between you brothers and sisters.

The Red Devil threw the skull in his hand to Colossus, and he said:

This thing is free for you to use this time, and you will be charged next time. Drop your own blood on it, and then silently read your sister's name.

Attention! It must be a full name, and no character can be omitted!

The Red Devil exhorts:

If your sister is indeed here, she will sense you soon.

While talking, the Red Devil drew out his two magic swords, and said in a sullen tone:

You'd better pray that she still remembers you, otherwise what we are waiting for is likely to be the demon army under Belasco's command, or even the cultist himself.

The Red Devil's words made Colossus hesitate a bit.

He hasn't seen his sister Liyana for more than ten years, and he can't be sure of Liyana's current situation.

If things went to the worst possible step, if his sister really turned into a lackey of the devil, Colossus Piot really didn't know how to face him.

Maybe, brother and sister?

boom

With a soft sound, the angry halberd in Merlin's hand hit the ground, and the boulder under his feet shattered.

Let go and do it.

He said to Colossus:

The worst case is nothing more than knocking her out and taking her back. Or, you have already arrived here, but you are not ready yet?

Um.

Colossus took a deep breath, and almost choked on the bad air in hell again.

He held the skull tightly, transforming his body from a state of steel into flesh and blood. Merlin waved his hand, and a shadow throwing knife precisely brushed against Colossus' fingers. The blood dripped on the skull, and the light in the eye sockets of the skull danced. more and more intense.

Piot transformed into steel form again. While the wound was healing, he held the skull and silently recited his sister's name.

Liana Rasputin, if you can hear me, come on, I'm waiting for you, your brother is waiting for you.

Liana Rasputin, answer my call, I will wait for you here.

He repeated this sentence over and over again, with a very sincere expression on his face, like a praying believer.

The Red Devil looked at Colossus, he turned to Merlin and said:

Do you have a good relationship with him? Why are you so enthusiastic about his affairs? You know, Velasco is not an easy guy to deal with.

You just think I'm naturally enthusiastic.

Merlin casually replied:

Get ready to jump out of here at any time. Look at the hell, there's not even a lock on the door.

Um.

The Red Devil nodded and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, the Red Devil suddenly raised his head, turned to look to the side, and said:

She is coming!

swish

Amidst the shining dark red light, a tall and slender girl walked out.

Her cheeks are very similar to those of Colossus, with typical Slavic features, her golden hair hangs over her shoulders, and her forehead has loose bangs.

Her figure also has the characteristics of a Slavic woman. Her limbs are well-proportioned, slender, and her legs are very long, but the whole gives people a petite feeling.

This girl is quite beautiful, but her eyes are painted with light smoky makeup, and her expression is very indifferent, as if she doesn't care about everything around her.

She was wearing black light armor, showing her slender waist, and her high-heeled combat boots stepped on the ground, exuding an iceberg-like aura from her whole body.

However, the weapon behind her is quite unique.

It was a double-edged battle ax about the same height as her. This overbearing weapon unexpectedly added a bit of fierceness to the girl.

Two high-ranking hellhounds half a person tall, with black manes, scales, sharp claws and fangs followed her feet, like the pets of this indifferent hair girl.

The two beasts barked wildly at the three people in front of them, but Merlin just glanced at them. The breath from the high-level demon made the two terrifying beasts tuck their tails in fright, and hid behind their master howling.

Liana

Ganglishi looked at the girl in front of him, the blood connection made him take two steps forward somewhat uncontrollably.

boom

A shining energy knife hit the red Gobi at Colossus' feet, and the bursting flames represented a warning.

who are you?

Liana stared suspiciously at the steel man in front of her, who was very similar to her, and asked sharply:

Why do you know my name?

I am your brother!

Colossus said sincerely:

We were born in Siberia. You liked to go fishing with me when you were young, and you also liked to play with the little pony on the farm. I...

I remember now!

Liana interrupted Colossus with a cold smile on her face.

She reached for the handle of the ax behind her back, and she said:

Of course I remember, my brother, we have been separated for more than ten years, and occasionally in my dreams, I do still think of you. I really have many, many things to tell you about what I have learned in this hell those most valuable lessons.

swish

Her figure disappeared in the next moment, and when she reappeared, she had jumped in front of Colossus. The skull battle ax in her hands was shining with cold light, and she slashed towards Colossus.

Weak brother, I don't need you anymore!

Colossus didn't expect his sister to be so ruthless. Facing the slashed tomahawk, he could only raise his arms and stand in front of him.

clang

During the collision of steel, Colossus' huge body was thrown away like a cannonball. There was a terrifying wound on his body, but the body of steel was not completely destroyed, and even blood did not flow out.

The wound looked horrific, but it wasn't fatal.

you!

An ax chopped off her brother, this rebellious hell hair girl held the tomahawk with one hand, like a berserker queen, dancing flames wrapped around her body, she pointed the weapon at the man who was watching the show Merlin and the Red Devil, she said:

Velasco will give you a good price for your brains!

Faced with this provocation, Merlin shrugged. He grabbed the halberd at hand and said to Liana in front of him:

It's a pity you just hurt the only person here who had any kindness for you.

I'll give you some advice, little girl.

A flash of anger flashed in Merlin's eyes, he coughed and said;

Before I get angry...

Run away.
