Chapter 76: You should also turn away (1/2)

”The trick is to defeat the demon lord.” I look around. After a few minutes, we have been transported out of the lust domain. This blank space is the region between the lust domain and the next one. I have not seen the monk and the others. It looks like we have been transported to different locations when we entered the lust domain. I don't know whether they survived or not.

”I think, there are no rules to get out of the circle. You just have to get out by hook or crook. But, it seems that defeating the boss is directly breaking the circle's lock.” My young fellow pokes the spongy wall. ”This place is different from the last one.”

”What's that?” I point at his upper arm.

”Noona, it's proof that we crossed two circles of hell.” He points at my arm. ”You have those too.”

I pull up my sleeve. There are two similar rings on my upper arm. ”Will we get nine of them?”

”Maybe.” He looks up at the ceiling. He seems to be concentrating on something.

”Can you hear someone else?” There is only two of us here. The door to the next circle hasn't appeared. For a place that has no rule, this 'five people rule' is rather weird.

”I can't hear anyone,” He tells me. ”Noona, the five people rule is just a way to delay us from getting to the next level. It makes no sense that we can't even fight as a team when we pass through the door.”

”You knew that they would separate us?” I narrow my eyes on him. The kid is young, but he is smart and mature. ”Is that why you decided to hold my hand?”

”Yes.” The kid keeps poking the spongy wall. It makes funny 'Oink-Oink' sound like the pigs. ”I knew that the magician has a weakness for women. The Fae doesn't like humans. The monk was a good option, but I would rather stay beside you. It looked like you needed my help. You are someone who can't cultivate heaven's energy. However, why aren't you cultivating the dark energy here?”

”Oh!” I seem to have forgotten. This is hell. It's full of demons. It should be my playground. I should be able to raise my rank here. I slap my forehead. It will become tough when we reach deeper levels of hell.

”You should become stronger, Noona.” He sits down the floor. ”I am relying on you.”
