The body, resembling a small mountain, stood still, like an inviolable colossus preventing Lia from going any further.
Under that deep and solemn gaze, Lia suddenly gasped and widened her eyes.
The scene before her gradually became clear, and the fierce, blazing flames seemed to burn right in front of her.
But her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Thank goodness, how could she have had such a dangerous thought?
Lia remembered that it had been mentioned in some old books.
If the living see the gates of hell, they must leave immediately.
Because the gates of hell possess the power to lure the living and ignite a deep-seated human desire for hell.
Once you accidentally step into the gates of hell, you will never be able to leave.
Therefore, Cerberus was always on guard at the gates of Hell.
It will prevent humans from exploring the mysteries of hell, and at the same time, it will never allow the spirits behind the door to return to the world of the living.
Having regained her senses, Lia turned her gaze back to Cerberus.
No matter how unintelligent this three-headed dog may be, it faithfully fulfills its instinctive tasks.
If Cerberus hadn't stopped her in time, she would probably be just like the one in the legend.
They fell into an endless abyss of hell, from which they could never escape.
Although she knew in her heart that Victor was in this hell, she had to keep a clear head.
"Thank you, Xiao Ke."
"Woof!"
But now, a new problem has arisen.
Even if she found the gates of hell, she couldn't save Victor.
The most important thing now is to get out of here. She knows her sudden disappearance must have caused extreme anxiety among the others. Everything else will have to wait until she's safely out of there before making any further plans.
Just as Lia was lost in her thoughts, Cerberus suddenly seemed to sense something.
It quickly raised its head, and its six steel-like ears stood up nervously, anxiously scanning the gates of hell.
The three heads quickly scanned their surroundings and let out a low roar.
Suddenly, an incredibly violent roar shook the entire space in front of the gates of hell.
It was as if the earth had cracked and the world had collapsed, a deafening roar that came from all directions.
Lia listened to the terrifying shock that kept pounding her eardrums, staring in disbelief at the gates of hell before her.
Uh, wait a minute.
This is……
Is there an earthquake in hell?
Suddenly, a powerful surge of energy poured out like a flood, seemingly unstoppable even by the gates of hell.
boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted in front of us, and a terrifying energy, a mixture of intense heat and dense magic, poured out from behind the door.
Leah stood with difficulty on the ground torn apart by energy, her clothes fluttering wildly in the raging wind.
Even her short hair was blown about by the wind, each strand distinct, dancing wildly in the air.
In an instant, a bright, daylight-like energy light engulfed the entire world.
The ensuing silence seemed more deafening than any sound.
A long silence enveloped the surroundings, the anxiety gradually subsided, and even the smell of steel in the air dissipated.
Lia's eyes were filled with clear light, reflecting only a pale glow.
The raging fires that had been burning all around were swept away, and the lava seemed to have completely solidified.
Brown soil slowly fell from mid-air, filling the cracks on both sides.
The sun rose from the sky, and a fierce storm swept around, carrying arcs of purplish-black electricity.
The torrential rain poured down amidst the dazzling white light, and vibrant green vegetation sprouted from the soil, swaying in the wind.
Watching all this, Lia felt as if her soul had been purified.
In a daze, she saw a phantom figure slowly walking across the gates of hell from behind them.
The other person appeared to be a blonde girl.
But soon, the figure gradually transformed into a black-haired man.
But most importantly, it was that iconic black trench coat that made Lia recognize him at a glance.
"Victor...?"
The person in the distance seemed to have heard Lia's call, turned around, and looked at her tenderly.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
Lia looked at Victor in front of her and felt her eyes well up with tears.
She instinctively took steps and ran forward.
This time, Cerberus, who was beside him, did not stop him.
Because what she lunged at was nothing but air.
When Leah tried to hug Victor, she realized that it all seemed to be just an illusion.
My arms were empty; there was nothing inside.
Lia was stunned.
Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she looked around, trying to find Victor's confident figure.
She could clearly see Viktor himself, so why couldn't she touch him?
Suddenly, a gentle breeze brushed past her ear.
Lia was slightly taken aback, and 'Victor's' figure reappeared in front of her.
At that moment, Lia anxiously wanted to speak.
But 'Victor' extended a finger and gently placed it to her lips.
"Shhh."
His voice was gentle and slow, like a spring breeze brushing across the surface of a lake with broken ice, softly whispering in Lia's ear.
At that moment, around that figure in the black trench coat.
Flowers bloom in profusion, displaying a vibrant array of colors.
Lia stood there quietly, staring blankly at the scene before her, her eyes wide.
And the illusory 'Victor' continued to speak.
This stirred up a subtle sadness within her.
"Wait until I fight my way out of the underworld—"
"This is only the first time."
