Chapter 117 Stealing Session! Part-3.

Rio brought out the scroll from his space ring and opened it. A complex magic circle was printed on the magic scroll. He put the scroll on the ground and put his hand in the central area of the scroll.

When Rio put mana in it, the magic circle shined brightly, the scroll suddenly burned away and a huge magic circle appeared under Rio's feet. Rio felt a strong suction force and he was teleported away by the magic circle.

...

An unknown place.

When Rio opened his eyes he found himself standing in front of a huge gate. The gate looked majestic and ancient. Several weird monster figures were engraved on the gate.

[Here lies the sinful, Aidel]

[Those who dare to disturb his sleep shall face his wrath too.]

Rio read the warning written above the gate and shook his head. He didn't care about this at all, because he knew what was lying inside in wait.

Rio brought out the necklace and put some of his mana in the necklace. The necklace glowed with purple light after being embedded with mana. As if a certain mechanism was triggered, Rio heard several sounds of chains and gears rolling from the gate.

The ancient-looking gate opened slowly. Just when the gate opened dense killing intent leaked out and tried to make Rio fearful of what was inside. But Rio was unfazed by this all.

All he thought was:

'Ugh, this horrible smell, it's the smell of rotten meat...' (Rio)

Ignoring the horrible smell and the dense killing intent, Rio walked in unfazed. His face stayed expressionless from the start to the end.

[Ding! You have entered an area contaminated with dense demonic energy!]

[Ding! The chance of getting contaminated and corrupted by demonic energy increases tremendously!]

[Error!... 'True Immunity' has been activated...]

[Ding! You are immune to the demonic energy!]

'Just like I expected... sometimes your plans work so well that, you can't help but smile in happiness... alas this emotionless body of mine, can't even laugh... tch...' (Rio)

Rio already expected that this place would have dense amounts of demonic energy here. But he didn't need to worry about it, he had 'True Immunity' with him after all.

When Fade came here in the original novel, he already had this overpowered skill 'True immunity' thus he was unaffected by the dense demonic energy lingering around in this place. Similarly, now that Rio also had this skill, he too was unaffected.

'This is also one of the reasons why I didn't bring Lia or Link with me here, they don't have this ability afterall...' (Rio)

While thinking all this, Rio walked inside and looked around. He found himself standing in a huge hallway. Giant pillars were supporting the ceiling on both sides of the hallway.

'This place is so huge that even an adult wyvern can fly here freely...' (Rio)

Rio slowly walked towards the end of the hallway. He noticed that the pillared had various monster figures engraved on them, just like the door outside.

'The aesthetics of the people who made this place is kind of weird...' (Rio)

As Rio continued to walk closer and closer to the end of the hallway, the killing intent became even heavier. The density of demonic energy continued to rise until Rio reached the end of the hallway.

Aidel eventually ended up losing himself in jealousy and defected from the army. He used a forbidden method and tried to undergo demonification. When Nicolas and the woman arrived it was already too late.

Aidel had already turned into a mutilated monster and his will, soul, mind everything was already corrupted by demonic energy beyond saving. There was no way to save Aidel from that state.

Nicolas remembered their friendship and couldn't kill Aidel. In the end, they decided to seal Aidel away until the war ended. They wanted to hide this matter from the army and didn't want to cause Aidel's name to get tarnished.

But Destiny played tricks on them, both Nicolas and the woman died in the final battle against the Orc Empire and thus Aidel remained here sealed for around 50 years.

Thankfully, all the items that were needed to reach this place were already arranged properly by Nicolas before he went for the final battle. Otherwise, no one would have been able to come here.

...

After a few minutes, Aidel's body finally transformed completely.

Except for his head and neck, his whole body has now turned into a monster. His arms turned into snake heads, his chest and stomach now had a turtle-like shell covering it, and his tentacles have now regenerated fully.

"Are you finally ready now?" (Rio)

Aidel didn't answer but looked up and roared at the ceiling like a mad beast, his snake hands wriggled around and spit poison everywhere, corroding the floor and producing foul smells.

*rrrrrrrroooooooooaaarrrggggggghhhhh*

'Ugh, it's even more horrible now...' (Rio)

After Aidel finished roaring, he faced Rio.

"F-ffff—fffffor----ffforgi---ve" (Aidel)

"Yeah, yeah, I forgive you for becoming a monstrosity like that..." (Rio)

Rio shrugged his shoulders. He knew that Aidel must have deeply regretted his decisions at the last moments when his sanity was fading away.

Aidel must have wanted to get forgiveness from Nicolas for breaking their trust and comradeship, but now that Nicolas was long dead, there's no point in asking for forgiveness.

'Instead, you can ask for forgiveness when you meet Nicolas in the afterlife...' (Rio)
