Chapter 296 – 296. Sinners in Hell Suffer Forever

Monsters coming down the hill.

There were many different types, from those with pig heads to those with worm heads and wielding knives.

Rather, I stopped admiring the way it was so diverse and colorful that it made me feel a strange sense of unity that the pile of garbage was running in the form of a human.

Even my nose is about to drop at the disgusting smell that comes in.

“Kiaaa!! Catch it!!!”

“Uhhhhh!!!”

“Chierrerere!!!”

“There!! Just stay still!!!”

The guys came running with a strange spirit. Even his feet are slow. Overall, I got a strong feeling that they were buggers.

Also, they were just thinking of taking parts of my body and attaching them to their bodies without any prudence or caution. Full of desire Should I say it’s like the guys who fell into hell?

“They are crazy.”

The number was also quite large. It looks like a good thirty. I’m going to leave one or two, and I’ll have to replace all the rest.

Let’s try not to run away…

‘Covers the entire area with deep constriction.’

Deep constriction is a skill that creates a kind of unique area. No matter how dangerous the terrain or climate, the range of application of the skill becomes the abyss and provides a favorable effect to me.

Also, being covered in darkness, most of the beings except me have slightly twisted five senses, and I can even have the effect of hiding naturally.

That’s why the magic consumption is as high as the veil of emptiness, but I’m a man with strong magic.

– Whoa, whoa!!!

The darkness of the abyss that extended from me covered all those who rushed at me. I immediately activated my altered vision and inspected them with a predator’s sense of smell.

“Aww!? What’s this!!! You can’t see ahead!!”

“Sievaal!!! Croy!!! Analyze quickly!!”

“Shut up!! Uh… O’clock, it’s an abyss!!! Impossible to unlock!!”

“Why is Abyss here!!!? My left arm!! Give it back!!!”

“What!!! Is it a habit? Aaa!!! Fuck!!! I broke my ankle!!! It’s a god!!”

“Damn.. What.. What.. Ugh, don’t come!! I mean don’t come!! It’s my body!! It’s mine!!”

There was an uproar. The important thing is that I’m not attacking anything yet.

‘Those crazy guys.. Covering their eyes.. Wanting an opportunity to rip off the body of a colleague…’

Teamkill abounds. Some of them were using the fact that they couldn’t see their eyes to stab their comrades in the back and remove their limbs and replace them with their own.

What a hell. Do you have to have that level of stubbornness to live in hell? It’s gross.

‘There’s no hesitation in changing bodies… They’ve been living that way until this point… They themselves must have been optimized for absorbing new body parts.’

As a result of observing them from a distance, they were like parasitic trees with a kind of ego. The body parts of the dead are pulled and randomly connected to the blood vessels from the nucleus located in the heart.

There was a reason why there were three-armed, six-legged guys. Those guys must be a crazy parasitic race that absorbs and uses the brains of other races to speak and think. A race that is as strong as the performance of the corpse that has been replaced…

‘The self-conscious parasites end up living like that… It’s terrible.’

It’s not a parasitic tree obsessed with bones, but anyway, I figured out the rough ecology and identity of those crazy people. So now I’m going to test my skills against them.

‘Hmm.. For now… A golden opportunity to use mixed powers..’

I stretched out my hand toward the men brandishing their weapons at each other.

‘The power to mix…’

First of all, I was most curious.

Can I mix Abyss Maw and Tentacle Eruption?

-Fuwaaaaa!!!

At the same time as summoning tentacle ejection from the ground, he mixed Abyss Maw. Then, strangely shaped tentacles with mouths clinging to each other climbed up from the ground.

“Kiaaaaa!!! Caught!! You’re twisting your arm!!”

“Hey, what is this!! Something bit me!! My internal organs are pouring out..!! No!! Such a waste!!”

“It is a monster!!! A monster from the abyss appeared!!!”

-Pud Deude Deuk!!!

-Kujajajak!!!!

“Kyaaaaa!!! It’s ripped aaaaa!!!”

“Kuheouh..!!! Mo, the neck is pulled out!! No!! I can’t speak anymore!!”

– Dududuk!

The monsters who are caught and torn apart by the tentacles and bitten by the Abyss Maw clinging to the tentacles. The limbs of the limbs that were clinging to each other all disintegrated and flew around.

Soon, the nucleus in their center was exposed. It was a red lump. At first glance, it looked like a fruit, but in a way, it looked like a soul with wriggling tentacles. The fluttering appearance is peculiar.

“Aaaaa!! It is a monster that steals your body!!”

“Eh, let’s run away!! There is no hope!!”

Guys running away in a hurry. However, due to the deep constriction, they couldn’t see an inch ahead and lost their sense of direction, so instead they moved closer to me. My mana is slowly depleting, so I need to cancel the heart research axis.

At this distance, you won’t miss anything.

“Ugh! Now I can see ahead!!”

“OMG!! Croy!! Isn’t that my ankle!! You bastard!!”

“Oh, misunderstanding..! For now, focus on the enemy!! There are only nine of us left…!!”

The ones who were close to 30 killed each other and about 10 of them disappeared, and there were about 15 of them who were hit by my skill, so there were only 9 of them now.

‘It’s too weak.’

It was so weak that it was impossible to treat it as a trash mob. It seems weaker than evolutionary zombies.

They were ugly and weak enough to make me wonder if they were deliberately thrown in to express that something lives in hell. Really the bottom. I think they might be like plankton.

‘But this… Mixing Abyss Maw with tentacle ejection isn’t a good idea..’

It feels like the mouth just grew out of tentacles. I didn’t feel any great benefit.

This is because the size of the Abyss Maw is reduced because it comes out attached to the tentacle, so the damage is not great.

Originally, the Abyss Maw had a large mouth. However, since it became smaller, its aggression was rather low, and in the end, the way to kill an opponent was to catch it by releasing tentacles and tear it apart, so there was no reason to add Abyss Maw.

‘Then, let’s change the order… And put tentacle ejection in Abyss Maw…’

Since this is a method where the skill activated first becomes the foundation and the skill inserted later gives the effect, the sequence seemed to be important as well.

Anyway, mixing Abyssal Maw with Tentacle Eruption was a bit bad, so I mixed Abyssal Maw with Tentacle Eruption.

“Uh? Uh? Aww!!!”

The Abyssal Maw opened her mouth wide, and a bunch of blackened tentacles emerged from within, pulling in the fleeing ones.

Five out of nine were dragged by the ankles.

-Quad Deuk!!!!!

“Wow…”

Originally, Abyss Maw was a skill that was created right next to the opponent in an instant and chewed and swallowed parts of the body or upper body.

This time, rather than spawning right next to enemies and swooping in, it felt like they were stretching tentacles around them, grabbing them, and then tucking them into their mouths.

But this is also a bit disappointing. Abyss Maw is a skill focused on surprise and quick attacks, so if you attack in this way, the chance that the opponent will escape or slash tentacles and run away increases.

Instead of adding the ability to grab the opponent, the fast attack speed disappeared, which was rather a minus.

‘It might be better to mix Abyssal Maw with Tentacle Eruption than to mix Abyssal Maw with Tentacle Eruption…’

These two don’t match.

When I mixed tentacles optimized for utility and Abyss Maw optimized for quick attacks, the result was neither one nor the other. Both are the main menu, but mixing the two makes it a chowder.

Once both fail. I grabbed the four monsters who were running away in despair and pulled them with my tentacles. Also, the bodies of the guys who were scattered on the floor were also gathered in one place.

Their main body was a strange shape in which a spiritual body and a mass of blood vessels were intertwined. Although the spiritual body could not be touched, the blood vessel mass possessed physical substance and instinctively tried to cling to the corpses that had fallen to the ground.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

“Crazy.. Crazy.. That’s a monster.. A new monster has appeared in Infernal Hell…”

“Please, please… I’ll give you my left arm… Buy, save me…”

“Hey, you bastard.. That guy’s arm is so much better… Would you accept your bastard’s rotten arm…”

“It’s over… We’re all over…”

The poor people of hell chattering while being entangled in tentacles rising from the ground.

I ran towards the bastards. Then they shut their mouths with completely resigned faces. It seemed like they were already accustomed to being trampled on like this.

“Hey, who among you guys knows the most? A guy who knows a lot about hell.”

At my question, they all looked at the one with the blue bird’s head. Birdheads are the smartest… I can roughly guess their level.

“I… I am the smartest…”

“Yes, it is a bird head. What is your name?”

“I… I’m Croy… I don’t have a last name, I’m just Croy.”

“Hmm.. I’m at the beginning here, so I have a lot of questions, Clay.”

“Oh, no… Croy…”

“How do you guys feel the pain? Answer me, Clay.”

“Eh…”

These guys have no qualms about taking their bodies off. There was no sign of pain, perhaps because he didn’t feel pain in the first place.

Of course, he screamed when his limbs were ripped off, but rather than a scream of pain, it was a scream of grief at having his body part taken away.

In a word, it is a story that it will be filthy difficult to succumb only through pain.

“That, that… I’ll tell you…”

“Also. Won’t you tell me easily? I can’t help it… If you try to open and stab each one yourself, you’ll scream, right?”

“No! Tell me!! Why didn’t you listen to what the other person said!! Say!!”

Croy shouted and told them about their weakness.

“So… If you hit your body, it hurts a little bit, right?”

“No, that’s right..”

“But to inflict pain on that main body… I have to tear off all attached body parts and leave only the main body… At that time, it’s already in a state where it’s difficult to call it an intelligent body, right?”

“Right. Accurate. Because we think with the brains of corpses we have acquired… If we tear off the head, intelligence disappears. I was treated like that.”

Those who underwent surgery to alter their spiritual bodies in order to survive. I don’t know what kind of people they are. Those who touch their souls…

“These are complicated pups. Just die.”

“For a moment!!! Isn’t the reason you asked that in the first place because you want to make us surrender by causing pain in the end!!”

“Uh? How did you know?”

“Know!! They must be trying to carve a stigma that is trying to bind us!! Isn’t that the mark of a slave?!”

“Uh… How did you do that?”

How do these guys know my skills?

“Hey, there are similar guys here too..!! Black magic and sorcery such as the mark of slavery, the seal of subordination, and the seal of dominance are universal techniques in Hell!! I’ve been guessing what the purpose was since you said it!!!”

It seems that there were already other people in Hell specializing in slavery besides me.

‘Surely, the slave brand is Sataniel’s power…’

Since Sataniel himself is a being who has accumulated enough divinity for a mage to realize the extreme and enter the battle of 10,000, it was highly likely that his authority was rooted in heinous magic. So maybe something similar is here.

After all, there are slave trainers in hell too. These guys found a way to avoid the stigma through soul alteration in order to resist such slave trainers.

Hell, I thought it was just a place where the dead roam… The internal circumstances seemed quite complicated.

First of all, this blue bird named Croy knows exactly what I want, so I kind of like it. I mean, there must be one of these guys. For example, Ha Jin-seong or Ericsson. There are guys who are good to be treated as servants.

“You… You’re a bird-headed, quick-witted, and cunning, Croy. I like a guy who can communicate well.”

“Ha ha.. Ha.. That’s a relief…”

“So, how can I get you into submission?”

“The way to subdue us is simpler than you think… Just provide food, clothing and shelter.”

“What?”

Croy naturally obeys if food, clothing and shelter are provided. This… It’s way too normal than I thought. It seems that the noh artists in this town don’t even properly provide food, clothing, and shelter…

Food, clothing and shelter are the basics of the basics that protect me.. It is also hell. It’s a structure that even exploits the soul.

“No… You obey so easily with something like that?”

“Yes.. We have gone through too many hardships to obey through pain or suffering.. We just obey those who do their master’s duty.. Life is at the bottom anyway.. The one who feeds well is the best..”

“Huh.. These guys have a servile spirit embedded in them to the end of their souls…”

Even trying to get new body parts seems to keep replacing them because they don’t get enough food and their bodies rot. I have some food in my bag, so I’m going to keep only Croy alive out of the four.

“Keew!!”

“Keah heo ok..!!!”

Killed all three monsters. Although it was more like ripping body parts from the soul than killing them.

“Hey…”

“I only need one source of information.”

“Ah, I see… That’s right…”

“These things are still beating, but aren’t they completely dead?”

“Eh, that’s right.. In this state, they roll through hell, cling to corpses that have fallen on the floor, and put their bodies together again.. In most cases, they will start over from the beast.. It can be seen as a kind of reincarnation…”

“These things… Will you die if you stab them?”

“Lord, I will die. Maybe.. Or only the blood vessels die and the soul is scattered.. It will be sucked into the circle of reincarnation and reborn.. In this infernal hell.. There is no escaping here..”

It is also a terrible place. Even if you die, you can’t escape, and you have to be born again and repeat the life of a slave…

‘I like it… Being able to exploit slaves forever… That’s the best…!’

Mugan Hell was quite a place that suited my taste.
