“He is greater than the rumors.”

Marbas—it was a name that was often mentioned when discussing hell. It was said he had the power to change the order of the great demons. In many ways, Grid thought it was an exaggerated reputation. The order of great demons was determined by strength. They fought and won, and their ranking increased as they won. It wasn’t something that could be forced by the power of others. This was what Grid thought.

Now it was definitely ambiguous. Marbas expelled Grid’s party from hell as if declaring that hell was his home. It was a force that dismissed the dignity of a god. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was the peak of power.

“That guy is Yatan’s agent?” If not, it doesn’t make sense for him to treat hell as his home.

Yura agreed with Grid’s speculation, “Yatan’s agent is known to be Amoract, but... after seeing Marbas, I think Yatan might have multiple agents.”

Marbas’ power had always been attributed to his ability to breed demonkin and demonic creatures, but this seemed to be fundamentally wrong. It was clear he had strong backing.

Nefelina took one more bite of food and praised Marbas’ skills, “Regardless of his force, his magic abilities are great. I didn’t feel any fluctuations in mana until he appeared in front of us so his magic casting speed is more than my perception.”

She might be a hatching who was just born and had high pride as the blood of the insane dragon, but she didn’t disparage others without basis. She was fully aware and convinced that there were many people in the world who were stronger than herself, just as she expressed deep gratitude to Grid for protecting her from the tower members.

“Then why did Marbas help us?”

“......”

No one could answer this fundamental question.

Grid changed the question, “What was the level of the cerberus and black knight?”

Marbas had said that the 20th Hell was still too early for them. Grid was also vaguely aware of it. Every time the cerberus fired flames, the world of transcendence was activated and the messengers couldn’t easily respond. Yet this was just the pet of the 20th Great Demon. The 20th Great Demon, who wore full body black armor and had a red glow—he was likely to be stronger than the cerberus.

“The cerberus is a mythical creature that represents hell along with the hydra. It is a very powerful and fierce beast that even the gods of the sky are afraid of. It won’t be able to win easily even if we overcome the oppression of hell.” This was Zikfrector’s answer.

Grid couldn’t deny it. He experienced that the cerberus he met so far were completely different from the cerberus of the 20th Hell.

“The Black Knight... I don’ t know. Our seven good people didn’t experience hell, so I only know bits and pieces of it.”

“I know.” Sariel raised her hand when she heard this. Her blonde hair was shiny and her seductive collarbone was revealed. Sariel wore only a thin piece of cloth on her body and a lot of her skin was exposed. The curves of her body were revealed when she moved. Of course, Grid had no interest. It was because in Grid’s eyes, Sariel had a neutral gender. It was hard to recognize her as one way or another—whether as a male or a female—when she kept changing her appearance between a man and a woman.

“One of the targets I was trained to be most vigilant about in case of a war between heaven and hell is Black Knight Eligos. I heard he is one of the strongest in all of hell. I wasn’t expecting him to be guarding the 20th Hell... I was surprised as well.”

“One of the strongest in all of hell?” Grid frowned. It was a response like he wasn’t convinced. It was natural. Eligos was the ruler of the 20th Hell. He might be named, but there should still be limits. It was hard to admit that he was no different from a single digit great demon.

Sariel added an explanation, “Black is a color that symbolizes wickedness and evil. From the moment that black was used to describe Eligos, it proves that he is a special being among great demons.”

Grid murmured, “Um... If that is true, then the conquest of the 20th Hell should be postponed until after all of us completely overcome hell’s punishment.”
