Ataraxia Abyss
Chapter 37: Letoch

Hell stopped because of his screams. The demons stopped being tormented and those who were tortured were more curious about the sound of shouting they heard than praying to their God. Regal and Lilith spent 3 days together, none of them fell asleep, and none of them were happy.

They did not do what Incubus and Succubus used to do, but they did what the Devils used to do, tortured and tormented. Lilith looked traumatized and she was almost at the point where she was brain-dead but was stopped by the laws of hell. Lilith was too depressed to even ask Regal for mercy, but Regal had currently stopped tormenting her and started asking.

"You ready to talk?" Lilith then nodded and replied.

"Your father was the General of Adrian's creed. But he did not serve in hell... He was an Incubus, he needed the soul essence of a living being, so he ventured in the upper world.

But your father stopped traveling after he met a woman. Lisa, a village woman she met while the Master was resting in the temple of Letoch. The two of them became a married couple and the Master left the underworld. It infuriated the Devils, myself included, and my anger eventually became a message to the Devils of the upper world..."

Regal then approached and asked. "What message?" Lilith replied with her throat hoarse. "General Gerald has weakened, I sent that message to one of the Demon Lords of the upper world..."

Hearing that Regal was obviously angry, but he did nothing.

"They perform rituals, rituals that can confine the Master in a protected area. It left him weakened and isolated, and he ended up going in.

The Demon King of the upper world. He entered and fought with the Master, but fortunately the Master managed to make a gap for his wife and son to escape safely." Hearing that Regal then asked. "So my family was ruined because of you?" Lilith then shook her head and replied. "Even without me, he would still come and take the Master's head..."

Regal then stood up and said. "All right, I kept my promise." Regal then released Lilith's chain and let her free.

"As promised, I'll get you off that chain..." Lilith smiled, she felt that she was free at this moment, she could feel that this was all over. But suddenly Lilith felt a chill from her stomach. It was not cold because of magic or because of temperature, but because the black sword blade pierced through his stomach. Lilith spewed blood while holding the sword blade with both hands.

"You..." Lilith looked at Regal who was currently stabbing Lilith using Gram. "I did let you go, but I didn't promise that I'd spare your life..." The Gram sword emitted a bright blue light from its blade. Lilith's body grew hotter and hotter as the light began to permeate her. All he could do was shout, he could feel his soul slowly shattering like a cracked glass, he looked at Regal with a gaze begging for mercy and regret, but the young man did not care about it.

A pillar of light emerged from Lilith's body and burned her body to ashes. He will not be in heaven or hell this time, those who are killed with Gram will experience the real death of nothingness.

Regal then came down from the stone holding Gram in his hand, but he knew that this was not over yet. Because at this moment he found that there were many Devils surrounding him...

"Adrian's Son... You made a big mistake by killing Queen Lilith!" Regal had never seen the faces of the Devils that were blocking him, he was sure that they were Devils that were under Lilith's rule, they must have descended upon hearing the chaos that the two of them caused on the 7th floor.

As one of the Devils said that, Regal quickly threw a slash of energy at the Devil, his head and body coming off instantly and there was no sign that he would come back alive.

Regal put up his horses while answering. "I don't need anyone..."

———

Don't know how many months... Thousands of corpses of Devils whose souls had been destroyed by Gram were now scattered in hell like trash. Regal with his broken right hand now holds the sword with his left hand while fighting the giant Devil with the head of a goat. The demon used a mace to fight with Regal, but the Devil could not hurt Regal even when his mace could destroy the surrounding area.

Regal continued to avoid until finally the Devil swung his mace from top to bottom until his mace got stuck on the ground. Regal who saw it immediately raised some Devil hands to prevent the mace and legs of the Devil from moving, then Regal quickly climbed into the Devil's mace,he then ran over the mace and jumped, in an instant the Demon's head was already detached from his body, the blood coming out of the Demon corpse was flooding the entire area until it made the entire area look like a sea of blood.

As soon as he wanted to rest, Regal saw that there were many Devils who had just come. Regal did not complain or rest, he re-installed the horses until finally a mysterious earthquake shook the entire hell. The Devils looked like they knew what it was, they then ran away and left Regal severely injured. Regal was confused and tried to see what was really going on by going to the place where he felt his strongest tempest.

And he didn't think it was Adrian's palace in the Abyss. The palace appeared by itself, moving the place from the first layer to the 7th layer very quickly. The gate slowly opened like it was inviting Regal to enter. Regal finally entered the palace without lowering his guard in the slightest.

———

Regal went inside but saw no servants anywhere. But when in the throne room he could see a familiar figure sitting on the throne of the palace.

"For a long time no see, son..." Regal looked at the person's eyes in disbelief and retorted. "Go to the point... Why are you hiding information about my parents from me?!" Adrian did not answer and instead poured himself a glass of wine, Regal who saw it was clearly upset, he quickly lunged at Adrian.

Adrian who just put a bottle of wine on the table next to him, now it's like not seeing Regal. But in a blink of an eye Adrian raises his spear and swings it towards Regal. Regal quickly survives using Gram, but Adrian's strength is too strong and it throws Regal out of his castle.

Regal's body was immediately heavily injured by the attack, even when he was not directly hit, Regal could feel that he had died 3 times. Adrian then landed in front of Regal, although he had risen again but he could no longer stand properly, his whole body was like warning him that what was in front of him was not something he could fight.

But Adrian pulled back his gun and said. "Let's talk, son..."
