"… What … is this place?!"
As the fog of the Gate of the Abyss disappeared in front of him, Sareth found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
The air here was not like in Frostfire City, where it was cold and accompanied by the smell of sulfur. Instead, it was a thick and suffocating smell of blood and decay, making Sareth feel like vomiting.
It was so dark that he could not see his fingers in front of him. It took Sareth a while to adapt to this darkness. Perhaps it was because of his demon bloodline, but his dark vision ability was gradually unearthed. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and looked down. He found himself standing in a pool of blood up to his ankles. He could not help but scream and retreat in fear.
However, no matter where he retreated to, the stench of blood was always there. That sticky feeling lingered around his feet, making him feel extremely disgusted.
It took a while for Sareth to calm down and recall what Roy had said.
Is this the Demon World that Foster Father mentioned? It feels like the gap between it and Frostfire City is too great … Sareth thought as he looked into the distance.
In the endless darkness, Sareth saw dark clouds stirring in the sky, and red lightning flashed from time to time, so oppressive that it made people despair. Below the dark clouds was a vast and boundless space with no end in sight. All kinds of broken buildings and all kinds of strange plants interweaved on this land, forming strange black shadows. Among these black shadows, pairs of red, lantern-like eyes appeared from time to time. They were the various monsters and demons living in the Demon World. They were fighting each other, hunting each other, treating each other as prey, sucking the blood of prey, tearing the flesh of prey, and using the souls of prey to strengthen themselves …
Even though Sareth had seen many demons in Frostfire City, such an oppressive and terrifying scene still frightened him. Sareth, who had never been to other places in the Abyss, thought that the Abyss of Hell that his mother, Cassandra, had mentioned was like Frostfire City. But now that he saw this Demon World, he understood that compared to the living environment of other demons, Frostfire City was simply unique …
In the dark sky, enormous shadows flashed by from time to time. Remembering Roy's instructions, Sareth quickly lowered his body to hide his figure and then randomly found a direction to move forward.
Sareth really did not want to stay in this damn place any longer. He planned to find a channel to the human world as soon as possible according to Roy's instructions.
The fishy blood swamp under his feet spread far away. Sareth walked forward carefully, but he held Executioner tightly in his hand. But even though he was very careful, the sudden attack was still so unexpected!
A strange fish lurking in the bloody swamp suddenly jumped up from Sareth's feet, wagged its tail, and bit his left wrist. Its sharp teeth instantly pierced through his skin and embedded into his flesh.
"Ah!!" Sareth screamed and hurriedly shook his left wrist with all his might, trying to shake off the strange fish. But unexpectedly, the more he shook, the tighter the strange fish bit!
Sareth, who lacked combat experience, only remembered to use his Executioner after a while …
Under the sharp blade of Executioner, the strange fish was instantly cut in half. But the monsters living here had rather tenacious vitality. The remaining half of its body bit Sareth's wrist tightly for a long time before it finally gradually stopped moving.
After the strange fish finally stopped moving, Sareth finally opened its mouth. Looking at the dense holes on his wrist that were bleeding, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Although he had the powerful physique of a demon-human, and such a small injury would not take long for him to recover, when he saw his blood dripping into the bloody water below, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, there was a huge commotion under the originally calm water surface. Stimulated by the fresh blood, more strange fish emerged from their hiding nests, searched for the smell of blood, and gathered toward Sareth. Moreover, they jumped out of the water ferociously and bit at him.
Sareth panicked and quickly waved the scythe in his hand to kill these strange fish. But his random waving only attacked some unlucky fish that bumped into him. The strange fish that escaped the net bit all over his body.
The constant pain made Sareth break out in cold sweat. With his current strength, he was at the level of a middle-rank demon, so it should not have been a problem to deal with these monsters and strange fish. Unfortunately, he really had too little combat experience, so he lost control and suffered a lot of injuries.
Under the pain, Sareth finally erupted. A violent flame burst out from his body and burned all the strange fish biting him into charcoal.
"Huff …" Sareth panted and felt dizzy. It was just a group of monsters, but he had wasted a lot of magic power. But after his mind gradually cleared, he realized that he seemed to have made another mistake.
The sudden eruption of flames just now was so eye-catching in this dark Demon Realm, which was equivalent to exposing his existence at once. After he withdrew the flames, he saw some scarlet eyes in the distance, all looking in his direction.
"This won't do. There might be powerful demons coming to check. I must leave this place!" Sareth calmed down a little. He quickly held Executioner in one hand and pulled out Calamity in the other. While preparing for battle, he left.
But along the way, Sareth still encountered many monsters, forcing him to fight. When a group of flying monsters with strange wings attacked him, he could only use Calamity to fight back.
It was not a big deal to use a gun, but the problem was that the sound of gunshots was ear-piercing in this terrifying world, and the commotion was huge, causing more ferocious monsters to gather toward him.
On the first day he entered the Demon World, Sareth was attacked by many monsters and was on the verge of death. If he had not finally found a place to hide in the rocks, he might have died on the first day he came to this world …
Is … is this the way demons survive that Foster Father once experienced? Sareth thought before he fainted …
When Sareth woke up the next day, he found that all the wounds on his body had healed, and he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, it was the first time he experienced the terrifying recovery ability of his demon-human body.
Carefully sticking his body out, Sareth left his hiding place and continued forward. But no matter how vast the space here was, there were still many demons and monsters. What was even stranger was the plants contaminated by the dark power of demons. These plants usually did not move, but once someone intruded into their territory, they would immediately attack, making it impossible to guard against them.
For a week, Sareth spent his time in constant battles. Although he was riddled with wounds every time, it was undeniable that he had quickly accumulated a lot of combat experience in such high-intensity battles.
Later on, Sareth gradually began to get used to this kind of life-and-death fighting. He gradually abandoned his fear and began to fight.
Moreover, during these days of fighting, he began to try to devour the souls of the monsters and demons he killed to replenish his stamina and magic power.
He found that the monsters and demons he encountered in this Demon World were basically at the low-rank demon level. But the number of these demons and monsters was simply too enormous. In this boundless and vast land, he did not know if there were tens of millions or hundreds of millions of low-rank demons. Even though they killed and hunted each other every day, Sareth felt that their numbers had not decreased at all …
If so many demons go to the human world, the human world will probably be destroyed in an instant, right? Mother Julia said that most humans are very weak, and they can't even deal with ordinary monsters …
At the thought of this, Sareth could not help but rejoice. This was the first time he rejoiced that he was a half-demon. If he were only a human, he would have died when he entered this place …
"As expected, foster father was right. Only great power is the foundation of survival."
After two full weeks, young Sareth's worldview had undergone a tremendous baptism in this cruel Demon World, and his personality had begun to transform. His original reckless brat had become much more restrained, and he began to become calm and mature.
Benia was right. Although the survival method of demons seemed cruel, it was the fastest way for Sareth to grow up.
After gradually familiarizing himself with the two weapons that Roy gave him, Sareth's survival crisis was resolved. At least before encountering stronger demons, his current strength was enough to protect himself. But after two weeks of searching, Sareth did not find the so-called channel to the human world.
On the contrary, Sareth found that the entire Demon World seemed to be in a closed state, and he did not know what was going on.
Patience, stay patient! Sareth constantly comforted himself. If he wanted to prove his worth in front of Roy and complete the mission that Roy gave him, he had to be patient.
Time continued to fly, and gradually, Sareth's concept of time became a little blurry. He did not know how much time had passed. As he continued exploring, he suddenly found a huge commotion among the nearby demons and monsters.
Many of these demons and monsters were fighting and hunting each other, but suddenly, they stopped all of a sudden. Then, as though they had made an appointment, they ran in the same direction without looking back.
Hundreds of demons were heading in the same direction at the same time. This was a scene that Sareth had never seen before, but this abnormality meant that there was a change, so he cleverly followed the demons.
After running for about two kilometers, Sareth finally saw what the demons wanted to do.
On the ground in front of him, an enormous, irregular, jagged spatial rift was standing there, emitting a faint green light. The demons and monsters seemed to be tempted by something as they greedily rushed forward and squeezed into the spatial rift. As long as they jumped into the green light, they would immediately disappear.
"That must be the channel that Foster Father mentioned!" Sareth was excited. He had finally found it after such a long time, so he followed a large number of demons and monsters and rushed into the rift …
What Sareth did not know was that he was actually just unlucky this time. He had waited for a long time for a rift to open. In fact, if he were lucky, it would not have taken so long. In this vast Demon World, spatial rifts like this appeared everywhere every day. It was just that the opening time was long and short. When the time was long, it could allow a large number of demons to pass through, and when the time was short, there might not be a single one at all …
The reason why such a rift appeared was not accidental, but because … the seal of the Dark Knight Sparda was gradually weakening!
