Chapter 525 - 11.51 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Hell' (17)

Ugh!

Despite the pervert groaning in pain, there is an excited smile on his face. He looks so annoying that Hei Anjing wanted to stomp on him to death.

"Answer."

"Yes, my queen. That earthquake just now happens from time to time. Because of the last layer of hell."

"Last layer? The Hell of Weighing Scales?"

"That's right, my queen. There are also sinners in that place. Their task is to suffer from the weight of this whole place. They had to bear the pressure of carrying Hell with their bodies. The hell would sometimes feel earthquakes whenever the sinners in there faltered in strength. If they completely failed to bear the weight then they would be smashed to death."

"I see... Then the reason you've come to this layer is to find me. Because when you checked the last layer no sinners in there had died and found out that I was the one who caused the whole place to shake that one time."

"Yes, that's correct, my queen. It was a direct order from this world's consciousness. The soul of Abyssal World but I was only told to check on you and do nothing. They also wanted to apologize or something."

"They just don't want to disappear." Then he once again looked down on the bastard under his foot and said, "The stamps are already mine. I might return it to you when I get bored. But it is better if you don't wait for it."

"Eh? No. no. My queen. This slave doesn't care about the stamps. Please just step on me!" said Fa Yue looking so excitedly like a drugged man.

Looking at him makes Hei Anjing annoyed, he ripped an unknown space with his space ability and kicked the pervert inside.

"Fuck off!" said Hei Anjing.

Fa Yue was also flabbergasted at this scene. He never expected that a human-like Hei Anjing could control space abilities as well.

"Aren't you an Ice Elf!!? How can you use space elements!? AHHH~ My Queen~" yelled Fa Yue as he fell inside the space crack.

The distortion in space instantly repaired under Hei Anjing's control after he kicked the perverted angel inside. He was sipping his shoes with snow as if washing it over because he stepped on something dirty.

"So annoying~ I would have killed him if he wasn't my husband's subordinate in this world. Tch! I forgot to ask what the use of those stamps is." said Hei Anjing.

System Yang spoke, [Master, I know it's used. I've checked the world database. With a stamp card full, the elevator that brings players to another later would lose its restrictions. Now, the Master can go on any floor he wants to go to.]

Hei Anjing looked uninterested and said, "That's all. That's boring then~ I should have just returned it so that pervert won't have to come over anymore."

[I do think he would still come to see Master regardless of the stamps or not. It was already his nature to seek a sadist.]

"Who are you calling a Sadist?! I am not one!"

[Really?]

"Die!"

[I'm joking, Master.]

"Whatever. Are you sure that my husband is in the last layer, Yang?"

[I'm sure, Master. Yue'er told me they appeared there and Lord God Ye's soul fragment chooses not to move in fear he might destroy the hell where you are in it. He also said that Lord God Ye is waking up soon.]

"Let's use the stamps and go look for him. The food I made is about to go cold."

[Yes, Master.]

Hei Anjing walks away and heads to the elevator to look for his husband. He is planning to use those stupid stamps to get to him as soon as possible. Once they've found the elevator, Hei Anjing and System Yang enter. Unlike the other elevators, the players had ridden before, Hei Anjing's choices for floors are all lit up. There is also an option to leave hell and under it is a small slit where one would need to place the exit ticket inside.

There are three ways to leave hell but the requirement is that one is to have the exit ticket. The first one only needs to rip the ticket and they would be sent directly out of hell and considered the first punishment trial complete. But this option would not give extra rewards as they didn't use the elevator to leave hell.

Second, use the ticket in the elevator and if it would bring you out of the place. By choosing this option, your game result would be considered perfect and there would be extra rewards.

Lastly, is with the use of Return Stone. This is a special prop that is also extremely rare. A single one would cause a few tens of millions in auction houses. Only wealthy veterans and Ranked players can possess this. This is a special reward in one of the rare games called Carnival. But using this means the player forfeited in continuing the Punishment Trial and left the game world without getting anything.

Shi Lou, Lu Ke, and Lu Shi choose the last option. This is not only because Hei Anjing had given their team treasures and money but because they knew that only one player or one group can leave the Punishment World alive. There had never been any change in this rule. Only the strongest can survive and return to the city with all the wealth the hell can give away.

The Hell of Wrongful death.

Under the cliff,

It didn't take a while for Han Ya to completely regenerate his human body but as expected even with a human cushion padding his fall, his mortal vessel isn't able to completely survive the impact. His fall from such a high level caused his internal organs to burst including his heart.

Thankfully, he had awakened his Undead Bloodline plus with his original soul being undead, he was able to survive from the brink of death by becoming a quarter human Undead monster. Because of this little bit of human blood on him, the Abyssal world had treated his existence as a human player but his existence is considered as that of a bug or an error.

His black hair turned longer, extending down to his hips. His pupils had turned dark but his irises remained golden like the first time he had to awaken. After his broken limbs and organs were repaired by his bloodline's fast regeneration his undead soul had completely merged with his vessel.

In short, this face is now permanently his. This includes the memories and feelings this body has. But he is originally an undead so his abilities as one were considered as his bloodline skills and evolved to that Divine grade Demon Bloodline.

No one expected this result. Even Manager Tian, who knew about this big boss's identity, couldn't believe what just happened. He knew that the Undead General's soul was trapped inside the human body of Han Ya. He couldn't leave unless he completed his mission which the Lord Evil God had given to him.

At a weakened and restrained state, the Undead General had no other choice but to accept his soul being restricted inside the human body. He couldn't even complete his mission as completing it entails that he had to kill all human players in the Haunted Asylum movie game except for Hei Anjing, his Lord, as personally asked to spare.

His mission includes An Yuan's death but after entering the body of the former Han Ya, the latter's yearning and obsession are too strong to be ignored. Plus it gave him a pleasant feeling and didn't want to ignore it and so the former undead could only indulge in it.

But who would expect that the moment this human body died, his original soul would choose to merge with the human vessel and end up expanding his bloodline as an undead? Plus the original bloodline grade he possessed as a Demon returned to him as he died once which triggered his original bloodline.

After the 5 minutes call with An Yuan finished, Han Ya flexed his newly repaired body and felt that his former strength was slowly returning. At the very least, he could currently use half of his original strength.

"Gui, turn off my stream for a moment or leave it on standby," said Han Ya while his manager did as he was told to do so.

Manager Tian also noticed his changes and said, [Lord General I can feel that you have gotten a lot stronger and your bloodline changed. This is the Divine grade Demon Bloodline which is Lord General's original bloodline.]

Han Ya looked at his fixed arms, legs, and body, seeing that there was no problem with it. He circulates his qi which he couldn't use before in his human body. A black mist started covering himself like it was alive. As if he had returned to his former self, Han Ya felt this panicked for a moment. He started feeling his face and still felt the softness of human skin and flesh.

Han Ya asked, "I... I did not turn into a skeleton-like before?"

[This I can explain. Lord General's bloodline has fully returned and it merges with your current vessel but since the body had died your original bloodline connected through your soul had activated to save your life. Only a quarter of human genes remained and the rest were transformed to your original state as a demon undead. Han Ya's appearance is now yours. Everything, including his memories and feelings, is now permanently yours.]

"That's good then. If I turned into a skeleton I don't know how I would face A'Yuan," said Han Ya.

[But Lord General... You still need to tell him about this in the future.]

"... Let's leave it for when that time comes. Turn on the streaming. I'm going up. Would killing these ghosts give some points or rewards?" asked Han Ya.

[A hidden reward. Possible, Boss.]

A cold and deadpan expression appeared on his pale face. Hidden from the camera of his live stream recording is a black mist that spreads within the cliff. This black mist was all under his control. It engulfs all the red ghosts in the cliff and took all their existence and turned them all to perish.

The sound of agony and screams was the only thing heard coming from his live streams. The red dots which signifies the eyes of the red ghosts one by one disappeared completely in the darkness.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH~

KKKKYYYYAAAAAAKKK~

It takes a while for Han Ya to finish off all the red ghosts in the cliff. The ones living in the ceiling witnessed the massacre of their kind and were now trembling under the gaze of Han Ya. Han Ya used the black mist as stairs to bring him up from below the cliff to above. The broken stone bridge was already repaired as if time had been reversed for it.

Landing on the stone bridge covered in a black mist and his face pale white from the lack of blood made those who were watching his stream scream as he saw his clothes soaked in blood. No one knew if it was his blood or his enemies.

Ah~ Is that blood? That is blood on his clothes right!?

His clothes were soaked in red color. That can be only blood then.

Look how pale he is. Is Player Han hurt?

Maybe or maybe not? That black mist is so cool. He looks like a demon lord entrance just now!!!

Even though he looks a bit with such a pale face he still looks so handsome. Kyaa~ Male God Han!!!

These were the comments appearing on his live stream which the person himself had to ignore. Han Ya just raised his head and looked at the shivering red ghosts living at the ceiling of the cave. These ghosts had witnessed Han Ya killing their kind under the cliff. Now not even a single red ghost can be found under the cliff.

Thought those ghosts would respawn after Han Ya left the scene of them being massacred by Han Ya terrified the other ghosts. They weren't as enthusiastic as before when attacking Han Ya. As they could feel a similar aura coming from Han Ya. It was the presence of a Big Boss of the same kind.

[Are you going to kill them all too, boss?]

Han Ya shook his head and said, "No. I don't want to reveal my strength for a while."

Then he crossed the bridge for the second time. His long black hair was tied up in a ponytail behind him as Han Ya fearlessly walked on the stone bridge unhindered. None of the red ghosts dared to attack him anymore. He was able to successfully reach the end of the bridge and saw the elevator.

Not far from the exit, the corpse of a middle-aged lady was found abandoned there. It was the lady he had killed using his spear after being betrayed. She stared at it coldly and grabbed it nonchalantly then he threw it towards the bridge. As if receiving their feed, those red ghosts from the ceilings dive down to eat the meat. Even if it is a dead body it is still considered as food by them.

What Han Ya didn't know is that those who had been killed in each layer would be brought out after the trial was completed by the successful players to receive their exit ticket. Those who do so can get back the body of their teammates at the end.

This is why Uncle Sid, Sol, and Lune had hidden the body of Aunt Carmel in some corner. Because they knew that the corpse would be returned to them as long as the trial was completed. Only those bodies that were eaten can never be retrieved. Such ruthlessness matched Han Ya's cold glowing golden irises and black pupil. Like an undead as he is. Humans were merely objects to feed his kind.

Manager Tian stayed silent at such a scene. Those who knew about this man's former identity knew how much he despised human players the most. It is normal that he would be unforgiving after being betrayed by them and even a corpse wasn't spared by his anger.

"Let's go," said Han Ya who entered the elevator that opened before him. There are only three buttons possible for him to choose to go.

The 9th layer is next to the 8th layer he is currently in.

The 7th layer which he first completed

And, the 6th layer, the Hell of Fierce Chariots.

Han Ya unhesitatingly chooses the last option. The 6th layer is the floor that is only right below the 5th one. Completing this layer means Han Ya would be able to meet An Yuan soon.

{Congratulations, Player Han for completing the 7th and 8th layer of hell. You have chosen to go up to the 6th layer. Please wait for while you will be arriving at Hell of Fierce Chariots soon.!}

The elevator had climbed him as it said. It did not take a while before Han Ya heard the sound of the elevator arriving at its destination.

DING!

{You have arrived in the 6th layer of hell.}
