Overgeared

Hell was a particularly difficult region for the players due to three reasons.

First, the debuff. In hell, their stats and stamina would be reduced as long as they breathed. In areas where the hellfire river flowed and poison spread, there were many restrictions on activities such as constant damage or blindness. It was truly a land of death.

Second, the diversity of demons and demonic creatures. Each of the 33 regions of hell had different environments. There were various types of demons and demonic creatures that inhabited them. The demons differed by individual and the demonkin by species. There were also major differences in combat styles. It was difficult to identify and prepare for each one. It was an unpredictable realm.

Third, it was the absence of a map. The scale of hell was comparable to the human world. However, the actual size felt more than that. It was because there were so many rough places and maps didn't exist. It was difficult to become familiar with the geography, so it felt like they were wandering in a maze or walking in an endless desert.

Yet even in such an infamous hell, Yura and Kraugel weren't held back. It was thanks to Leraje. She was a living strategy book and GPS. She was the 10th ranked great demon in the hierarchy and knew too much about hell. She had all types of information that was hard for even a Demon Slayer to know and clearly guided Yura and Kraugel. The two of them had accumulated more than one or two achievements over the past fortnight with Leraje.

It was natural since they helped occupy as many as 16 hells. It was literally an occupation. It was different from simple destruction. Leraje now had a total of 17 hells, including the 10th hell. In other words, more than half the hells were under her control. The only reason this was possible was the great human and demon war.

The rulers of hell were absent or called upon to participate in the army. They lost their right to defend. The 50,000 strong army led by Leraje captured the hells so easily that it was hard to believe. Of course, this speed was only possible with the help of Yura and Kraugel.

[A new monarch has been...]

Leraje's subordinates took the vacant thrones. They became the new rulers of the 16 hells, exercising their authority immediately to close all open portals in their territory. It meant that more than half of the portals connecting hell and the human world were closed.

"It's been a long time since I've felt so rewarded."

"Huhu, me too."

Kraugel and Yura's expressions were noticeably brighter. The fact that their work was directly beneficial to the world made them happy. The unprecedented rewards gave them fiery enthusiasm and they were filled with infinite power.

"You have to be wary from here on out." Leraje warned the two smiling people as they were watching the portals in the sky gradually disappear. There was no one standing beside her in the lead. It was the aftermath of splitting up the troops and leaving them as defense forces with every new hell that was occupied.

"I am relying heavily on the two of you. I will leave my back to you." Leraje personally persuaded Yura and Kraugel. It was because their power was essential to this operation. She was honest in front of the two people. She did it without any exaggeration.

Yura and Kraugel nodded silently. They weren't prejudiced because Leraje was a great demon. They had recognized her as a colleague from the time they joined the same side. There was no wickedness or vulgarity, just a pure and noble character. Similarly, Leraje recognized the essence of the two people from the beginning.

Then Leraje's footsteps stopped. A huge door that seemed like it could reach the sky was in front of her. In the darkness, the group finally arrived at their destination after walking for a long time along the path that stretched out like a centipede.

Yura and Kraugel didn't know where this place was. It was just an unknown place...

"This is the warehouse where the 4th ranked great demon, Gamigin, keeps her souls. A total of 999 souls are stored. Out of them, 99 are the souls of heroes and nine are the souls of legends. They were captured by Gamigin and failed to cross the river of reincarnation."

"......!"

Yura and Kraugel's eyes widened. Every time they logged out, they would review the war at the Abyss. 30 soul warriors protected Gamigin, who were running wild there, and they were very strong. Yet there were over 100 such souls here. Moreover, there were the souls of nine legends that hadn't appeared at the Abyss yet...

"There is no need to be afraid. Our purpose isn't to destroy all these souls, but to destroy Gamigin's external heart linked to the souls. I plan to break through one point and finish it in a short time."

Leraje planned to retreat as soon as she achieved her purpose. It meant she was going to end her undefeated myth here today.

From her position, it was truly a great sacrifice. It was a deadly wound and a decision that might be regretted for eternity. Nevertheless, she was going to do it. She knew her limits. She knew that even if she struggled for the rest of her life, built up deity, and became a demon god, she wouldn't be able to cross the walls called Baal and Amoract.

She decided it was best to bring the defeat she would definitely face one day to the time that she wanted it to happen. That was right now. There would be no other chance to hurt Gamigin.

"Gamigin is one of Baal's few helpers. Baal's forces will be greatly weakened if we can deal permanent damage to her."

"Can I ask a question?"

"Feel free, Sword Saint."
