Chapter 438 Great Demon Trial: The Upside-Down Road to the Afterlife
The Great Love Poet followed Hyperion up the stairs and turned back to make sure that his teammates were ready.
After receiving a response from the eyes, the poet of great love walked forward again.
"I'll hold you tight this time."
Hyperion quietly assured the poet beside her.
Then the two of them walked into the mysterious deep purple mirror portal. The air beside the door was layered due to the slight ripples of the power of the void, as if magic was dancing gently on the calm lake.
Figures stepped into the portal, disappeared one by one, and finally merged completely into the void surrounded by deep purple light.
For a moment, the two felt as if they were falling rapidly from a sea of stars and once again experienced the wonderful feeling of weightlessness. The light and colors that appeared from time to time intertwined together to form a distorted picture.
Until the falling speed began to slow down, dazzling light burst out from the exit and instantly enveloped them.
“…”
The moment she stepped into the negative sixth level of space, Hyperion's pupils couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She found herself standing in the center of a spacious theater-like hall. The high dome was painted with intricate murals depicting totems from ancient demonic mythology.
This is a hall that is larger than any previous teleportation hall. On the platform, there is still a dark purple mirror-like void teleportation portal similar to the previous one.
They were not separated nor encountered any danger. The only difference was that they could feel the extremely cold air on the negative sixth floor, as if they were in a vast snowfield. Not only their joints but also their thinking became slow.
The negative sixth floor is the deepest level. Due to its structure, it does not have separate entrance and exit teleportation halls. The only void teleportation portal is here.
Soon, the student bracelets of several people lit up with a deep red light curtain as usual——
[On the negative sixth floor of Helrom Prison, you can gain a lot of service points by surviving and performing duties. ]
[After meeting the assessment conditions for returning to the basic level, the current level of trading permissions can be opened. When the trainee prison guard completes the assessment, the remaining service points can be exchanged for wages or converted into credits of the Protoss Royal School of Magic. ]
[Current location: Helrom Prison, Level -6, Warden's Office & Teleportation Hall.]
【Job content: inspection and maintenance. 】
[Note: After entering the unsafe zone on the negative sixth floor, you will be trapped in an illusion barrier. As you stay there longer, the danger level of the illusion barrier will gradually increase, and when it reaches the upper limit, it will be a ninth-level illusion.]
[Note: When you are awake and the more fear you feel, the higher the percentage of false damage you suffer in the illusion that is converted into actual damage.]
[Note: On this floor, prison guards can drink special snowfield liquor to eliminate the cold and increase courage, but be careful of drunkenness and coma, please drink in moderation. ]
[Conditions for returning to the base layer: After checking the firmness and durability of all cells, obtain the permission and final evaluation of the Negative Sixth Floor Warden.]
Hyperion stared down at the information on the negative sixth floor.
Finally, we reached the last level before leaving Helrom Prison, and it looked like there was only one more Great Demon State Trial left.
Her difficult mission went too smoothly today. She felt like she had done almost nothing and was only one step away from success.
According to what the Ice and Snow Witch said in the Kingdom of Aethertalan, the great demon trial known as the "Life and Death Test" is called the "Inverted Road to Rebirth". The more you fear death, the easier it is to die.
It is both an illusion and can produce lethal actual magic damage.
After falling into the illusion of [Inverted Road to the Dead], once a trace of fear begins to arise, the inner defense line will collapse in an instant like a burst dam, and be completely destroyed at a rapid speed. In essence, it may be more dangerous than a trial of force.
This great demon trial is almost a death sentence for Pranay of Truth. Pranay of Truth, who only wants to survive, will suffer almost 100% damage in the [Inverted Road to the Afterlife]. If he dares to escape from the cell, he will commit suicide.
For the assessment of trainee prison guards, you can choose to have everyone drink appropriate amounts of special snowfield liquor according to their own circumstances, assign routes, and rush back to the safe area to recover after repairing some cells along the way before the danger level of the illusion reaches a high level. At the same time, leave one person ready to go back and forth as quickly as possible to rescue teammates, which really tests judgment and execution.
However, Hyperion now feels that the strategies given by the Ice Witch are useless.
No matter how difficult the Ice Witch had told her in the previous two months, Hyperion was sure that the actual experience would be as difficult as a baby's.
“…”
Hyperion secretly glanced at the stunned poet beside her.
In addition to the few service points gained from speeding through the negative fourth and fifth floors, Lanqi now has a generous amount of service points. When asked, Lanqi replied that they were sponsored to him by Miss Selena, the warden of the negative fourth floor.
However, at that time, Hyperion was in a dream of falling into the Land of Gentleness and had no idea what was happening on the negative fourth floor.
Hyperion was still worried whether Ranch was forced or robbed, but Ranch said that Miss Selena, the warden, gave it to him voluntarily. He didn't even mention it to Selena, the warden, and Miss Selena transferred the money to Ranch.
Hyperion could only put her mind at ease for the time being.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As they were about to walk down the stairs, they heard the warden's voice in the hall.
“It’s so rare to have trainee prison guards here, it’s great.”
Hyperion looked in the direction of the voice and found that the teleportation hall on this floor was a safe area combined with the warden's office.
The warden, whose name was engraved with "Dairiya" on her nameplate, was seen with her legs crossed on the desk. Her facial features were deep, her eyes were intense and penetrating, as if she could look directly into people's hearts, and her thin lips had a hint of a smile.
Although she was wearing the uniform of a prison warden, it was tight on her upper body, so she casually untied her tie and put on her coat.
"Here, there is no way to rebirth, no way to death, it is better to live in drunkenness and dream of death."
Warden Deria leaned casually in her chair, tilted her head and looked at the few people, muttering.
She was holding a small wine glass in her hand and seemed to have just taken a sip.
Obviously she was very happy about the arrival of the trainee prison guards. If there were no trainee prison guards to help, she would have to do the regular routine inspection and maintenance work by herself.
Hyperion currently feels that except for the warden of Corendan on the negative first floor who is a little difficult to communicate with, the wardens on the negative fourth and fifth floors should be pretty good people, and the warden on the negative sixth floor also seems to have a good attitude.
"We will get to work right away, please rest assured."
Hyperion saluted to the Deria Warden on the negative sixth floor and said.
The mission on this level is very clear, with two big demons and the demon craftsman Lanqi, so maintenance is even easier.
"Wait, who told you to rush to work?"
Daria quickly put one leg down from the table, stopped a few people, and waved to them.
There are four updates today. The last one will be a little late. I haven’t finished coding yet. The sunset continues to burn! (End of this chapter)
