Chapter 526: 11.52 First Green Star Punishment World: ‘Hell’ (18)
Meanwhile, the Journey of Chu Mo had finally reached its goal. After jumping inside the biggest volcanoes in the 3rd layer of hell, he took an elevator ride. The next floor which is the 4th layer is the hell of Mirror of Retribution.
The fourth Hell is a labyrinth of mirrors. There would be mirror ghosts or monsters hunting players as they hide within the mirror. Worst of all, these monsters can shift their forms to look so much like other human players. They would take the appearance of someone close to the player and lure them inside the mirror.
Once a player is inside the world of the mirror they would be immediately eaten within or forever trapped inside of it. No one is able to defeat the mirror demons, as long as there is a mirror or a reflection, they can escape in it.
Chu Mo was floating in the sky as he watched the scenes from above. Some players tried to destroy the mirror only to be besieged by a group of mirror monsters. Their ending was clean as they were all dragged inside the mirror only to be eaten. Some smart ones brought paint with them.
By covering the mirror surface with paint, the monsters inside were temporarily stuck. But if a monster freed itself beyond the paint, they would be more ferocious as their anger of being imprisoned inside the mirror is what they hated the most.
Observing the layer before him, Chu Mo finally found the way to cross this layer as fast as he could.
Chu Mo asked his subsystem, "Do you have a mirror for sale in the system store?"
[Answering to the warden, there are some under the junk category. You can get it for free.]
Chu Mo smiled and said, "That's good then. Let's move past this layer as fast as we can."
He first landed on the ground and faced the mirror before him. He watches his reflection in the mirror. The man inside the mirror grinned evilly at him and to scare him he even pulled open his mouth widening it beyond means. He looks like a creepy human in his own reflection.
GRINS~
SHHHHAAA~
But sadly, the Warden who guards the Nether System would never be frightened by such childish means he touches the mirror and feels it ripples under his fingers with a relaxed expression on his face he enters the mirror world and instantly kills the mirror monster who took the form of his appearance.
The inside of the mirror is just an inverted world of the labyrinth and the only difference is there are lots of faceless monsters inside the mirror. Seeing Chu Mo enter their world, they've all become excited. These faceless monsters all wanted a face, only when they got a face that they were able to leave the world of the mirror.
Face. Give us your face. I want your face. Give me!!!!
Chu Mo watches these faceless monsters approach him reaching out towards his face. But before they could even touch him the wind element under his control had made them all fly out like weightless kites.
"Even if this face is not my original one, I cannot scare my lover and meet him without a face. Fuck off! This Warden is in a hurry!" said Chu Mo.
As the faceless monsters flew away because of his wind. He flew towards the mirror showing the exit of the labyrinth. Behind him, almost a hundred faceless monsters were chasing after him. These monsters wanted to keep Chu Mo inside the mirror forever since he is strong.
Seeing the final mirror which showed the elevator, Chu Mo asked the subsystem to bring out a door size mirror. He let it face the mirror showing the elevator and move it diagonally so its reflection would be synchronized and become solid. As it became solid, he pressed the button to open the elevator and entered it in one swift movement. Before the mirror closes, he throws out a wind spell to destroy the mirror he had left behind. This allowed the world of mirrors to be closed forever.
Chu Mo inside the elevator, "Finally! The fifth layer! Honey~ I'm almost there!"
—
Chu Mo and Han Ya arrived on the layer at the 5th time. The elevator they've ridden is different yet it appeared in the same location. Appearing side by side with each other, the two elevators disappeared in thin air as soon as the two of them came out of it.
The sudden appearance of each other made Chu Mo and Han Ya look at each other. They were both expressionless yet they observed the man before them.
Han Ya's thoughts, 'Who is this man? His aura feels familiar?'
Chu Mo on the other hand had recognized him even if his appearance changed.
"Ah!? Aren't you…"
He was cut off as his little subsystem rammed itself on his head.
BAM!
OWW!!
Chu Mo grabbed his little cloud manager and glared at him while carefully touching the bump on his forehead.
"What the hell?!" Exclaimed Chu Mo.
His subsystem spoke to him through his thoughts and gave him a warning.
[Warden, please don't forget your current identity. You cannot allow him to see through as the Reaper or an outsider. If you called him as the protagonist gong the Heavenly Laws would notice you and punish you for OOC. You are not the Venerable Lord Hei.]
Chu Mo woke up in reality and noticed that he almost had a slip of tongue.
"I know… Don't need to ram your head. I still have to let my lover see a handsome face." mumbled Chu Mo as he let go of his little manager.
Han Ya on the other hand had noticed that this man knew him.
"You know me?" asked Han Ya.
Holding his bump Chu Mo said, "Of course! Didn't my boss sign a contract with you?"
"Contract? Do you mean the shared one? Are you a subordinate of Player Hei?" asked Han Ya.
Chu mo shook his head and said, "No. I serve his husband. Player Abyss. I am Player Reaper, his second in command."
"Reaper? That Reaper who is second-ranked in the Black Zone," said Han Ya as a bit frown appeared on his cold face.
As a former Undead General, this man used to be one of his greatest enemies. He is the second strongest man in the abyssal world and would always compete against him. He was thinking of whether to kill this man here or not. As an undead general, it was his duty to do so, but by doing so he would become an enemy to not only Abyss but also the unreadable Player Hei. In his incomplete state, he wasn't even sure if he could defeat Player Hei much less Player Abyss.
Especially as harming either of the two would mean being the enemy of one regardless. He had witnessed those two sticks to each other almost inseparable.
'Is it because they love each other? Is it the same emotion and feelings which I feel towards A'Yuan? If it is then harming either is dangerous even those involved to them as well. Sigh~ forget it for now. I need to seek the Evil God's decision for this problem.' Thoughts of Han Ya.
Chu Mo responded, "Yes, that's me. You are Player Han Ya, right? Your strength is not bad and it feels that you have merged with your Undead Bloodline. Not bad~"
"You can see through me?" said Han Ya, surprised.
Chu Mo answered, "Just your bloodline. So you have upgraded your Undead Bloodline to a demon divine grade huh. Mine is a Fallen divine grade."
The two were having a friendly conversation when they suddenly heard beastly growls surrounding them. By the sheer number of it, it can only mean a lot.
GROWLS~ ROARS~
"Hmm~ there's a lot. So this is the Layer called Hell of Beast. It fits its name." said Chu Mo as he circulates his wind elements and qi. He didn't awaken his bloodline as for him these beasts are too weak for it.
Han Ya glanced at Chu Mo and felt the powerful wind element converging around him.
His thoughts are, 'He didn't even need to awaken his Fallen Bloodline to reach my current strength. Does this mean my bloodline isn't complete yet? After all, I can only use half of my original strength.'
Chu Mo said, "Dude, let's finish this fast. I still need to look for my lover and then my boss. My boss isn't here though but my lover is. Are you just passing through layers? You can go ahead if you do."
"No… I am here to look for my lover too," replied Han Ya shamelessly. He could only do so as An Yuan was not in front of him.
Chu Mo sniggers and says, "That's good then. Let's look for them together. For now… Let's go and clean up the whole layer first."
"Agreed!" said Han Ya.
The two split in an opposite direction. One on the sky and one on the land. The two started killing all beasts they bumped into. They were like a bulldozer as they ran around the whole layer killing all monsters they met regardless of their sizes. They were both merciless as they massacred the beasts on the land and sky.
The two had then strength and endless stamina thanks to their bloodlines. It only took three whole hours to eliminate all the beasts in the layer except for the Boss NPC, Cerberus who was sleeping as the two killed off all of his offspring.
Chu Mo and Han Ya even found its house and woke the three-headed beast to fight. They unhesitatingly destroyed its home.
WHOOSHES~
A huge wind tornado hits the huge stone cage making it trembles and causing some ruin within the cavern itself. The Cerberus woke up in immense anger as he witnessed his house destroyed. Running out of his cave to look for the culprit who did so.
ROOOAAARR~
The first head yelled, "Who dares to destroy our house!!!?"
"Whoever it is, I will kill you! GRRRR~" said the middle head.
The last head was usually calm as he felt two presence not far from them.
"A Fallen Bloodline and a Demon Bloodline? Not bad, but just you two aren't enough~" said the last head.
Han Ya and Chu Mo's expressions were a bit serious when they felt the aura coming from this three-headed beast. It was spreading an aura of darkness strong enough to contend a God, not even a God itself.
"This strength…" mumbled Han Ya.
Chu Mo said, "Peak Class Demigod."
Han Ya said, "No wonder. He is cheeky. Let's bail for now. To defeat this we need help. A'Yuan can help us look for its weakness."
"What is your lover's bloodline?" asked Chu Mo in confusion.
"Ancient Human."
"Wow~ then he can indeed help us find its weakness. Then my lover can help us fight the last head, his bloodline is Valkyrie. Let's split and look for them."
"Good Idea."
The two men split intending to follow the location their managers had told them to. They both meet once again in front of the stone cave covered in a golden barrier. Han Ya and Chu Mo look shy as they even split only to meet at the end. Their farewell only lasts for 5 minutes which is a bit embarrassing for the two.
They both decide to forget what just happened.
Han Ya said, "You came here too. Your lover is here as well?"
"Hm! This golden barrier is his work. Your lover must be with him in the same cage as my honey. Let me call them out." said Chu Mo.
Han Ya watched as Chu Mo knocked on the golden barrier and yelled out, "Honey! I'm here! Come out please and help us kill the boss of the layer ba~"
"Remove the metal cage." said the calm voice from inside the cave.
As expected the golden barrier fades and Chu Mo happily destroys the metal cage and waits for the people inside to come out. The first one to run out is An Yuan as he saw from their group live stream that he had arrived in the fifth layer and came looking for him. He hugged him as soon as he saw him alive even though he looked different and felt different from before.
An Yuan said while hugging Han Ya, "You are alive. That's good. That's great!"
Han Ya hugs back An Yuan who had delivered himself to his embrace. The warmth coming from his embrace is addictive. He knew in his heart that letting this person go would be impossible in the future. Even if he gives him away from everything he wants just so he can stay by his side, Han Ya, this Undead Demon is willing to do so. Even if his life is at stake, he will give whatever his beloved wants to have.
By the corner, Chu Mo was looking at his lover while feeling jealous of the scene in front of him.
Chu Mo said as he pouted, "Honey~ I want a hug too~"
Lan She glanced at him emotionlessly as he twisted his ear.
Ow. Ow. Ow.
"Honey~ QAQ… QAQ… QAQ…" call Chu Mo acting pitiful towards his lover.
Seeing such expression on his lover's face, Lan She couldn't help but sigh. He removed his fingers on the latter's ears and grabbed his collar. Only when their lips had touched that Chu Mo happily hugs his lover's waist enjoying a private moment that is meant only for him.
Even Han Ya and An Yuan felt embarrassed at their kissing scene. An innocent and virgin man like An Yuan covered his face when he saw Han Ya looking at him waiting. Obviously, he wanted a kiss too.
His whole face and ears red in embarrassment An Yuan said,
"S-Sorry… I can't for now. Boohoo~" said An Yuan as he covered his face.
Han Ya confidently said, "No worries. I can wait."
RRROOOAAAAAARRRR~
The sweet moment between the two couples was cut off by the sudden arrival of the enraged Cerberus. He is now coming after them. When he saw that Han Ya and Chu Mo had left just now, he indeed lost him for a bit. Then he remembered the other two humans who were still alive in his territory. He couldn't destroy that golden barrier no matter what it does.
Cerberus felt that those humans might know each other and went in the direction of that weird stone cave and noticed that the barrier is gone and instead the two hateful humans he wanted to kill the most are together with the other two humans he wanted to eat before.
"HUMANS!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!"
