Hell Visitor

Red lake

Lush vegetation

tranquil island

Opposite the campfire stands a human-like "Hell Visitor".

This is completely different from the hellish scene Han Dong had envisioned.

Before Han Dong could ask a question, the Mysterious Person sitting opposite the campfire moved forward slightly, revealing a human mouth under his hood.

"Is it different from what you imagined 'hell' to be? After all, hell is very vast. Some places are indeed terrible, but there are also relatively quiet places."

Surprisingly, the person speaking was fluent English.

The demonic language that came from the portal earlier seemed to be someone deliberately testing whether Han Dong possessed the 'demon' attribute.

"Senior is... human?"

In his Crow Person Form, Han Dong's visual abilities were enhanced to an even higher level.

He could tell that the aura emanating from the Mysterious Person opposite the campfire was far superior to his own, so he addressed him with the respectful term "senior".

The originally planned battle might be transformed into a friendly negotiation due to the connection with 'Toku'.

"Can't humans also transform into demons? The Demonic Aura emanating from your head is dangerous, as if it's being blocked by something... Can I take a look?"

"Um."

Without sensing any hostility, Han Dong released Togu.

As Togu, dressed in black leather with Saw Blade embedded in his head and chains connecting his arms, appeared... the Mysterious Person opposite the campfire smiled, "I knew I wasn't wrong... a hellish monk."

As Togu stared at the Mysterious Person across the campfire, a faint trembling sound of chains emanated from within his body.

This was the first time Han Dong had ever seen Togu so frightened.

After all, for a masochist like Togu, being beaten is a unique kind of happiness... His current fear probably stems from the difference in the level of hell.

In the blink of an eye, the Mysterious Person was standing beside Togu, reaching out to touch the eight-clawed Faceless Mark on Togu's neck.

"They can even enslave cultivators from hell... The abilities outside the city are really useful."

The appearance of the phrase "outside the city" startled Han Dong, who quickly asked, "Senior, are you from the same place as me?"

The Mysterious Person returned to the campfire, sat down, and pulled back his hood, revealing a handsome and deep-set face.

Brown, slightly unkempt hair fell over her shoulders.

Like his body, his face bears many indelible scars.

Unlike humans, this man's eyes are completely black.

"How is the Holy City doing now?"

"Senior is really from the Holy City!? Currently... the situation in the Holy City is relatively stable."

Tell me more.

"OK."

Han Dong suppressed his surprise for the time being, refrained from speculating about the man's identity, and explained what he knew.

Upon hearing this, the man fell into deep thought, then looked up at the sky obscured by crimson ash and sighed softly.

"Senior... which Knight Order do you belong to?"

The man did not give a direct answer to Han Dong's question.

"It seems you are still a rather green Knight-Errant, not even recognizing me. No wonder you don't know much... However, your strength is quite good, and you have even learned techniques from outside the city."

"Seriously, has the Holy City become this open now? I remember those old guys in the council being incredibly rigid... With your corrupting abilities, how can you possibly study normally at the Knight Academy?"

Han Dong gave an awkward laugh, "Of course not, I also put a lot of effort into hiding my identity... In addition, some teachers in the academy also took the initiative to help me hide my identity."

"Yes, some changes should be made... Based on your description, I haven't seen any substantial breakthroughs in the Holy City over the past century. If we continue to cower in isolation, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."

Han Dong asked curiously, "Why are you in [Hell], senior? Is it because of some special Destiny Event?"

"It would be hard for you to understand these things if I told you now... You'll understand once you break through your seed and become Formal Knight."

Besides, it's not that I want to stay here for a long time, it's just that I have no choice.

The brown-haired man slowly got up and stretched his body.

"Based on the hint, it seems that I need you to spar with me."

As long as you can cause me even the slightest damage, you win... At the same time, the system will also give you a special reward.

I thought it would be a Formal Knight approaching me, but it turned out to be a Knight-Errant. How difficult is this Destiny Event you're facing?

Five stars.

"No wonder... It seems you and your friends are among the best of this year's Knight-Errant. Your performance seems to be much better than ours back then."

"By defying the rules and forcing you to come down, I proved to be the right choice."

At this point, the uncle suddenly reached into the campfire and pulled out a serrated knife.

The Sword Hilt was actually a living thing.

As the man grabbed it, sharp spikes sprouted from the Sword Hilt, piercing his hand completely and drawing blood from his body as food.

Suddenly, the serrations on the back of the blade became even sharper, and a layer of red aura covered the surface of the blade.

Suddenly...

A sense of danger sent a chill down Han Dong's spine.

In the Crow Person Form, with the assistance of bone wings, the body can shift to the side immediately.

Buzz!

It feels like some kind of sharp tool is cutting the entire island apart.

A jagged crack, originating from the campfire and extending to the edge of the island, is deeply imprinted on the ground... Near the shore, in the crimson Seawater, several Hell Bone sharks, their bodies shattered, surface.

If Han Dong hadn't moved, his body would have been cut in two.

This strike left Han Dong drenched in sweat.

Even Togu was stunned.

The middle-aged man's fingers slowly traced the serrated edge of the blade as he spoke softly:

"There's no way to take shortcuts in the Destiny Space; competition is a necessary step."

Come on... unleash your full power in this attack.

Even abilities from outside the city are fine! Bring them all out!

Han Dong flapped his bone wings, maintaining a distance of more than twenty meters from the man.

Under the gaze of the Lesser Demon Eye.

What Han Dong saw was not a human being at all, but a demon whose aura covered the entire island... In addition to the long horn protruding from its forehead, this person also had a pure golden spine.

One could even vaguely see a Crown of Ashes floating above the person's head.

Things have come to this.

Han Dong had no other choice.

"With such a huge Level Gap, there is only one way to hurt such an important figure whose identity is unknown."

Han Dong took a deep breath and transmitted his voice to Togu:

"Togu! Go..."

"Yes, Master!"

Even Though being suppressed in rank, Togu still followed Han Dong's instructions.

Go forward decisively to "take the hit" and do your best to entangle the opponent.

When Togu swung his lava chain to entangle the target...

Furthermore, an evil aura emerged from the shadows, and Chen Li silently circled behind him, then slashed at his neck with a kitchen knife...

Click!

A cutting sound followed.

The seemingly indestructible Hell Chains were completely sawed off and scattered on the ground.

As for Chen Li, who had attacked from behind, by the time she came to her senses, the arm holding the cleaver was gone...

I wrote so many versions of this chapter because it determines how the story will develop; my head is about to explode. I'm off to bed now...
