Chapter 511 - 11.37 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Hell' (3)

Hearing the conversation between the demon minions, these demons would never think that there is someone out there who could understand their language. Manager Tian can understand the demon language because Manager Gui taught him before. On the other hand, Han Ya is a former monster himself and he is Knowledgeable in all kinds of languages between races.

Though they were dumbfounded with what they heard, this player and manager pair just looked at each other. Lou Yan is a part of their group, yes. But this doesn't mean that the person needs saving. Player Abyss is after the strongest human player in Abyssal World.

Manager Tian looks at his player's devastating appearance little by little, regaining his flesh and covering up those white bones exposed in the air. Han Ya's body was half-melted and even a part of his skull was revealed when his flesh was melted.

It looks scary and gruesome which made even Manager Tian a bit terrified by his player's current look.

[Boss, you should upgrade your bloodline's regeneration skill. It would scare even Player An Yuan if he saw you like this.]

Han Ya frowned and knew that his manager was right.

"Hmm, let's upgrade it after we leave this Punishment World. According to what those demon minions had said, it seems we are indeed in Hell. Not just an ordinary hell by Diyu which is segregated into layers. There should be 18 layers in all. This layer we are in must be the Hell of Oil Cauldrons." said Han Ya.

Manager Tian looked at the boiling thing inside the pot with incredulity in his eyes.

[Woa~ so that is boiling oil and not just water. Then you should avoid any type of fire source or else you might end up becoming a living human torch.]

Han Ya ignored his manager's words and closed his eyes. His face and body had been fully regenerated and back to normal thought, his clothes were completely melted to nothing. He is hanging upside down in his birthday suit.

Some female and gay players are eyeing him like some kind of eye candy. Han Ya's physique is after all well trained as he used to be a veteran player. Adding up the undead knight's arrogant demeanor, made Han Ya even more handsome in the eyes of others.

While thinking of what should be done next the world consciousness had finally started some announcements. Though his voice wasn't as confident as before and would somewhat stutter at some words for no reason he still fulfilled his mission and told all players in the Punishment world about what they should be doing.

DING! DONG! DING!

That's the content of your requirements for the first trial in the Punishment World. Don't forget to get your ticket to leave hell or... You'll be staying here forever.

Dear Players, you only need to survive to get rich. Now Trial for rebirth begins!!!}

As soon as the announcement for the first trial had been done all layers had started to begin moving. The demon minions who were observing restarted their task and resumed the movements in hell. All the monsters and beasts in hell had started to hunt as well. In this place, players are considered sinners they need to survive to live.

Failing to do so meant that their souls would remain in hell forever. Unable to leave an everlasting life of suffering and torture. That's the ending for the failure of the trial.

In the first layer of hell, the hanging bars started hanging badly. Some metal cages started to break making the players inside fall out and get skewed but the mountain of trees is made of spears below. Those who were unlucky got pierced in the heart or head instantly.

They were still alive even after getting skewered to death. Well only their soul is alive, that is, the mortal body they've brought had forever died in that place.

Chu Mo was watching as people fall and die on the top of those dangerous-looking black trees. He even saw one that jumped voluntarily only to get his skull and all his limbs pierced by those spear-like trees.

Though some veterans avoided death and exchanged a few limbs to land on the ground safely. They consumed expensive healing items like candies. Who wouldn't try surviving the rewards are too rich to be ignored.

He also saw some who fell together seemingly looking like a group to lessen their injuries. Though there are some who died in progress there are more who survive in that attempt.

Chu Mo asked, "Manager, is that group a contracted one or not?"

[Answering the Warden's question, they are a temporary group. The most contracted group was split into different layers.]

"That means Lord Hei and Milord are not together. This is not good then~ there is no one to hold back Lord Hei. Sigh~ Let's go find my wife first." said Chu Mo as he kicked his metal cage away and jumped out.

He even heard some players saying,

'Look another solo idiot player!'

'Isn't it more efficient to work as a group for this layer? What is he doing?'

'Let him fall to his death! There are lots of retards like that.'

'Forget about him!'

'Ah ah ah~ He is about to get skewed I can bear to see it~'

'Cover your eyes then!!!'

Everyone watched as Chu Mo spread his arms and clapped once. Suddenly a huge wind tornado appeared from the ground destroying a part of the black forest leaving a small circle devoid of trees. Chu Mo landed safely on this land using the tornado as a cover. The eye of the tornado is the safest place for Chu Mo.

The tornado disappeared as soon as Chu Mo's feet landed on the ground.

The reaction of the crowd was quite amazing as well.

'Wow! So badass!'

'You're so cool, big brother in black.'

'How can you be sure that it's a male? What if it's a female inside the cloak?'

'Shut up! Bigshot saved us too!'

'I can warm the bed for you.'

But Chu Mo ignored everyone's voices calling for his attention. He knew that none of them were really admiring him. They just wanted to use him as a tool for survival. Moreover in the Punishment World, there are more newbies who died from their first games and fell here as a penalty than veteran players who come here to earn wealth.

Chu Mo yelled, "Warm your bed my ass! I have a lover! Who needs you!!"

He is neither of the two as he only came here to look for the boss and his wife. He raised his right hand in the air and gave the players who were trying to sweet-talk him a middle finger. Everyone had seen his reply and was pissed off by his reaction. Now they started yelling curses instead of seductive words.

'Die! Motherfucker!'

'Retard! Idiot!'

'Die! Just die! Moron!'

Chu Mo turned a deaf ear to them and looked at his System.

[Host Warden. As soon as you leave this layer a humanoid demon. A royal grade one would welcome you to give a stamp for the first layer. Please don't attack him. This demon is only someone whose mission is to give away stamps to those who successfully escape the layer.]

"Understood!" said Chu Mo as he gripped his right hand into a fist and punched the land under him.

BOOM!

An overwhelming strength shook the whole first layer and a small crater appeared under Chu Mo's fist. The space is enough for a human to pass through. Chu Mo didn't hesitate and jumped in. He used wind elements to slow his fall. He finally entered the second layer.

'Shit! You can do it with brute force alone!!!'

Everyone was shocked by what they had witnessed. Some opportunists tried to jump right after Chu Mo. One successfully passed after Chu Mo as he used a skill to accelerate his fall. The others saw it too and tried to copy him.

'That man passed through safely as well. Follow after him!'

'I'm going first!'

'No! Me first!'

'Fuck! Move away!'

Human greed was once again shown in this situation. Players started jumping towards the hole only to be stuck as most jumped not one at a time but altogether. The small hole is not able to fit them.

Except for the second player who jumped out as soon as Chu Mo passed, the rest of the players were pushing and pulling, wanting to be the third one to enter the hole. What they didn't know is that the hole was getting smaller and smaller as the layer started to repair its land.

The players who jumped all together had either fallen to their deaths or got squashed to death by the other humans.

'Ah!! NO. NO. The hole is closing!!!'

'Move away! Let me go. HALF OF MY BODY is still inside the hole!'

'No way! I won't let you pass! I want to pass first!'

'Let go. LET GO! AAHHHH!!!'

CRUNCHED!

Everyone could only watch as the hole successfully closed leaving the player who was stuck in the hole cut off in half. His lower body had fallen in the second layer while his upper body was left behind in the first layer. This player died by getting cut off in half.

The player who was pulling at him let go in stupefaction and screamed as the man's upper body fell on him and a small rain of internal organs fell on his face and body. These are the internal organs of the man he had prevented from passing through the hole.

'AAAAAHHH!! He is dead! He is dead!! It is not my fault! He didn't let me pass through the hole first. It was not my fault!!!'

'Madman! Why didn't you let him go!? He died because you didn't let his arms go!!!'

'Murderer! You killed him yourself!'

'Selfish Bastard!'

The crazed screams of the newbie players resound in the first layer but none of the hidden veteran players pity him and the other newbie players treated him as a scrounge. It was his fault that the man died after all. The one who was not willing to let go was him. This result is his fault.

'NO! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!'
