It was surprisingly easy to understand the territories in the abyss. Firstly, Hell didn’t have many civilisations. Even if they did, it was still a lawless zone. Those with power create the rules. Qin Yun had to give Amaraline and Coux a rundown about the basic do’s and don’ts when visiting a demon town. "They call it a town but think of it as a huge gathering of demons meeting up to do business. Laws do not exist. Demons don’t work for livelihood, they don’t play fair and they certainly…-

Three days. Nobody dared to ask about Zero’s condition and Baal’s body double didn’t give them any updates ever since they arrived at the castle. One thing they learnt quickly was how empty the building was. Coux toured every nook and cranny of the castle with Sekkin. Not a single soul was in sight. There were no servants and it made the succubus wonder how Baal maintained the castle. During their exploration, they came to understand why Baal had to take such a long detour. The castle was full of…

Sekkin carried Zero on his back as they got out of the carriage. Wiser didn’t know if he should be relieved that the carriage has stopped or fearful that they’ve finally arrived at the castle. Qin Yun appeared relaxed while Amaraline stayed close to Sekkin and Coux. The small escort party waited by the barbed gates of Lord Baal’s entrance. The rat familiar left as soon as the guests alighted and nobody knew what to expect. Five minutes later, Wiser regretted his decision to follow the group.…

"Is everyone ready?" Coux asked. It didn’t take them two days to finalise Zero’s escort party. Zenobia was very firm about who to send. Coux was in charge of the expedition and nobody disagreed. The party of five consisted of Coux, Amaraline, Qin Yun, Sekkin and Wiser. Hua Tuo was worried when Wiser volunteered to go with them. The strategist had no means of protecting himself, much less Zero. The oddball was human through and through. "Don’t worry," Wiser smiled. "Demon Lord Baal gave his…

Baal was getting restless. Zero still owed him two more stories and he was irritated. The Demon Lord had been trying to contact the child for hours now without success. It was as if Zero completely disappeared even though he knew where the brunet was. Deciding to pay the brunet who was ignoring him a visit, Baal made his presence known. *** Constructions and repairs were progressing smoothly. The villagers tried their best not to think about Douglas or Zero. They now knew that the brunet was no…

The sun was up high in the sky but there were still two people sound asleep. Hua Tuo had diagnosed both Zero and Lovina unfit for work as they were severely mana drained. In Zero’s case, both his accumulated mana and energy reserves had been depleted after using the divine blessing magic. Lovina was suffering lethargy brought upon by mana drain. She would be fine by tomorrow but Hua Tuo didn’t know much about how to help Zero. With great reluctance, he called Merlin. "I never thought that there…

Back at the bridge, Amaraline was waiting for Zenobia’s orders. The adventurers were still sleeping and Carrabas has been subdued. She heard the commotion about Zero’s collapse and the party call was cut off momentarily. Beside her, the half-Selkie observed her as she tried to contact them without success. It was during that time when Amaraline felt a chill down her neck and barely dodged the knife aimed to stab at her nape. The cockatrice descendant spun around only to be met with a grinning…

Everyone was tense. Many warriors polished their armours or sharpened their weapons. Raj did some final fine-tuning for his weapons and Zero finally knew how the Pigeon Canon could be of practical use. Hua Tuo meditated and Zero decided to spend his time foraging for things to absorb. It was always good to stock up on energy points. He didn’t know how many people he would have to heal today and was slightly worried. Hua Tuo made a lot of spare mana potions but Zero wasn’t sure if they were going to…

Hua Tuo woke up with a message from Roovan saying that Zenobia had summoned everyone for an important meeting at nine in the cave. The doctor was slightly surprised that they would be summoned so soon. He didn’t think that Carrabas would be moving so quickly but at the same time, he knew it would only be a matter of time before they attacked. The physician decided that he would talk to his apprentice before they went to the meeting. Zero woke up a few hours later, expecting it to be yet another…

"Are you there?" Zero asked softly. Mii scoffed in Zero’s mindscape and showed herself. She’d grown a little more from what Zero remembered. Now, the strawcherry fairy had fairy dust particles and glowed slightly in the dark, reminding Zero about fireflies. "You know I’m always here," she rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and Zero giggled. He was still walking around the outskirts of the village, enjoying the chilly breeze as he did so. It was very dark but with Mii’s map, he had no problems…
