Stepping through the eleventh door, Erica was greeted by a wide and long steel corridor, engulfed in blazing fire.
With each step she took, she could hear the howling of the flames on both sides.
At this moment, Erica felt that her mental state was incredibly good.
His whole body was filled with power, and his magic was so strong that it seemed to be overflowing.
After resting inside the tenth door, Erica's injuries were almost completely healed.
only……
Was Professor Victor from my dream actually real?
Thinking of this, her face immediately turned red.
His eyes were blurry, and even a shy wisp of white smoke rose from his head.
She shook her head hastily, trying to recall what she had said in that dream.
It's over,
She, she said a lot of honest things in that dream.
Those were all her true thoughts!
She even said things like she wanted the professor to give her a massage!
No... there's something even more important.
Does that mean Professor Victor has seen her completely naked?
This is really the end.
She'll never get married in her lifetime.
Thinking of this, Erica felt utterly hopeless.
No……
Suddenly, Erica snapped out of her daze and patted her burning cheeks.
Just pretend you don't know anything.
That's right, she knew nothing and just thought it was a dream.
Professor Victor's personality dictated that he would not mention those things.
Although doing so is somewhat self-deceptive, she would only feel more embarrassed if she didn't do it.
Thinking about it this way, my heart, which had been pounding, gradually calmed down.
Erica took a deep breath, looked up, and stared at the steel tunnel in front of her.
Professor Victor has already said that it is enough to just go through these eleven doors.
Because the twelfth level is the last level of the underworld, and it is the exit of the gates of hell.
According to the plan, Erica will face the legendary Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, after passing through the eleventh floor.
This will be her final challenge.
Only the gatekeeper Nyx cannot be changed, because the authority to guard the gates of Hell belongs solely to Hades and his beloved dog.
This was undoubtedly good news for Erica.
and……
"I'm sure I can get through this."
After silently encouraging herself, she heard the sound of wind rustling in her ears.
Erica turned her head and saw Vega back on her shoulder.
It didn't say much, but simply closed its eyes to rest.
Erica didn't show much surprise when she saw Vega return.
It has been mysteriously disappearing frequently lately, and Erica has gradually gotten used to it.
She took another deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and strode into the scorching gate enveloped in blazing flames.
Passing through the raging flames, she was greeted by a hazy and deep dark night.
She was standing on hard rocks, a feeling that vaguely felt familiar.
In the darkness, Erica could only grope her way forward, cautiously advancing step by step.
As she walked to the center of the rocky area, the strange sensation under her feet made her involuntarily look down.
This totem...
Isn't this the prison deep inside that copper fortress?
Erica suddenly realized.
Compared to the other training grounds, this trial battlefield was rather small.
After all, most other places are plains and forests, providing Erica with many opportunities to hide.
Erica had known all along.
This time, the modified trial has changed each level to any location in the underworld.
They were randomly arranged and interspersed in different levels, waiting for her arrival.
And this venue, if nothing unexpected happens...
Just as her thoughts began to wander, the rocky ground beneath her feet suddenly erupted with raging azure flames.
Those azure flames resembled writhing venomous snakes.
Swaying his burning body, he stared fiercely at Erica.
In an instant, these flames connected to form a tall wall of fire, trapping Erica in the center of the disc-shaped land.
She was slightly bent over, her face solemn.
This time, she did not see the skeletal Grim Reaper in the tattered cloak.
Just as she was on guard, a cold, chilling wind swept past the azure flames and rushed toward Erica from behind.
Erica's reflexes had been honed through numerous battles; she instinctively wanted to take to the air and dodge quickly.
However, in that instant, she felt her body suddenly stiffen and become unable to move.
The breeze swept across her face unharmed.
The air currents converged in front of Erica, and the pale smoke condensed into a whirlwind.
Then, with the unfolding of a vortex, a mysterious figure wearing a tattered cloak appeared before her.
Erica recognized the person in front of her without hesitation.
Thanatos, the god of death.
Seemingly sensing Erica's serious gaze, Thanatos slowly turned his head.
It forcefully rotated its head half a circle, finally stopping it in front of her.
Erica stared at the Grim Reaper before her, her body out of control, but her eyes clearly showed defiance.
She looked at the other person's ghostly body and slowly tore open a slit that seemed to be the mouth.
A chaotic yet clear sound emanated from it:
"I am Death not because I can bring death."
"I am the guide for the souls of the dead; my duty is to lead them back to the underworld."
