The Heir of the God of Death
Chapter 57's

A moment in the world of Purgatory...

"So this is the real view of hell...."

The scenery is only dominant yellowish orange and accompanied by very high heat temperatures. The rocks, the ground, and the sea were only filled with fire and even the sea could not be said to be ordinary water but boiling water that was very hot.

"I can't imagine a real hell, but this place has already depicted all my shadows."

[You've been in the prep zone. You can only go through it if you already wear Heredis mode.]

"If I enter that mode again, then it's just a really great pain I feel later."

I paused for a moment and thought that this system was meant to make me a very powerful heir, so all the pain and suffering I felt would have no effect on the real battlefield.

"Maybe entering the dungeon that the system had ordered was aimed at improving my proficiency of this mode."

[You want to enter from Heredis mode?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes...."

Without thinking for a long time I immediately entered this mode.

The deg!

But, suddenly I felt something strange happening to my body, the cold inside that I felt and made me not stop goosebumps. This is very different from the time of the previous Hades world when it entered this mode.

Bush...!

Suddenly a bunch of black auras surrounded my body and I felt it was my second skin, because I felt my body being stuck to something tight.

"It's the second time I've entered this mode, but I feel something very different than before."

[You have entered Heredis mode, now you can enter the world of Purgatory.]

"Before entering, I'd better use my SP to improve my stats."

I immediately popped up the status window.

[Name : Arkha Peteng

Job: Heredis of Death (Ruler of Soul: Level 1)

Age: 20 years

Level 65

Gender : male

STR : 426 (+25%) INT :311 (+25%)

AGI :326 (+25%) DEX :285 (+25%)

VIT :390 (+25%) LUK :283 (+25%)

HP :21900/21900 (+25%)

MP :3110/3110 (+25%)

SP 12.]

"Hmm. since I have a lot of troops who can take care of me, then I should focus on INT because I need Mana recovery as soon as possible to regenerate them."

STR : 426 > 428 (+25%) INT :311 > 321 (+25%)

MP :3110/3110 > 3210/3210 (+25%)

I focused all status points to INT and the rest gave to STR, because I also had to intervene in the battle if they faced a very strong enemy.

"Oh yeah, I haven't checked Norum's status. Because his level and mine are level ten, but our stats are so much different."

I instantly raised Norum's status and saw her improvement.

[Name : Norum

Evolution: Blaowolf

Level 75

Gender: Male

STR: 507 INT: 402

AGI: 415 DEX: 355

VIT : 448 LUKE: 372

HP: 33700/33700

MP: 4120/4120.]

"Wow, I didn't think Norum was this strong. If he had faced off one-on-one with Cerberus back then, maybe Norum would have lost because his status was low, if now he might have been able to defeat every floor guard so easily."

Having checked each other's abilities, I finally immediately stepped my foot out of this preparation zone.

[You have entered the world of Purgatory, the entire system will be disabled except for the item storage system.]

[Warning!

You can get out of Purgatory if you conquer 10 floors of this world, and you can get out of this world if your HP is below 10%, you will be given the option to continue or get out of here. If you choose to give up then you will not be able to enter this world again and have been considered a failure.]

"The rules are still the same as before, I just need to subdue every one of his floor guards and get out of here."

After getting the notification from the system, I immediately continued my steps.

"It's a very horrible place."

While on the way, I saw there was a lot of fire everywhere. The level of heat may not be comparable to the fire outside and I can survive because of this mode.

I walked down the mountain of rocks and there were only hot stones on each side, then it was seen that there was a path ahead and followed the direction to where the road was.

"uh? Just get here...."

For a moment walking straight, my steps stopped because in front there was only a ravine under which there was a burning fire everywhere.

"How did I get across there?"

I turned around from right and left, there seemed to be nothing I could use to get across there.

"I don't think there's a visitor."

I was shocked and immediately turned towards the voice.

"Since when was he in the back, I didn't feel it at all?"

I saw someone two meters tall, with a strange face and a little creepy to look at.

"Are you a lost soul who wants to be sanctified?" While looking at me carefully. "I don't think you're a 'Libera, ' I haven't greeted each other for a long time with 'Libera.'"

I was shocked to hear why I was always seen as "Libera," I thought I was a Heredist but the creatures of this system always called me "Libera."

"I'm sorry that our first meeting was disrespectful, but I wanted to ask you something.. What is 'Libera? I've met people like you and called me that too."

"So you're a beginner huh, 'Libera' is the one who ushers lost souls into their new lives."

The same answer was given by Charon, why do I feel they are both hiding something.

"Means you're also a 'Libera' too?"

"Yes, but that was before."

"Have you? What does he mean?"

I was wide-eyed to hear that and why he answered my question in a slightly trembling tone.

"His face had no expression at all, was that his real face?"

"You're a very attractive person, this is not my real face but a mask that I put on...."

"...!" Hearing that somehow made me take a step back and start to be wary of him.

"Oh sorry, it makes you uncomfortable. Don't worry, I didn't dive too deeply into your thoughts just for a quick glance I read your thoughts earlier."

"So you can really read my mind?"

"Yes, don't worry, I don't want to interfere in your affairs. It's the responsibility of people like us to have a big secret. There are people like us who have no soul and have this kind of burden."

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, you can call me Malik."

"My name is Arkha Peteng."

Dur....

Suddenly this place shook and I saw that there were many Mana gathered across it, and formed a long rope that connected the place of my massage with the other side.

"You can now cross this abyss...."

I saw this very thin rope, as thin as a single strand of hair. I hesitated to move my legs, is this really a bridge?

"Don't worry, since you're a 'Libera' then this bridge is nothing to you. It's a special bridge of consecrated souls, but if he falls, it's a repeat of his purgatory."

"So, this place is a link to a new life, for example those who make it over this bridge will be sent directly to heaven?"

Malik was silent for a moment to hear my question.

"Hmm.., I don't know the name of the place called heaven that exists or doesn't exist. But, I've been in this place ever since this place was created."

"It's been there for a long time...."

His answer was exactly the same as Charon's and somehow I felt that this system was always driving me to a new place, and forcing me to use all of Heredis' power. I know it was meant to make me very strong, but what happens to me if I die? Will there be a new heir?

"Well, thank you for helping me."

He just nodded and I headed straight for the thin bridge.

"Because he said so, then I'll be fine...."

I immediately took the first step stepping on this thin rope.

"Did? I can actually stand on a thin rope, even I can walk normally."

Taps... Taps... Taps....

I looked down and made me look at it.

Aaaa...!!!

Beneath my feet are many tormented and in great pain.

"If it's hell, then I can find both my parents. But, as if that was impossible, even he just didn't know his name was hell and heaven." He turned and looked towards Malik.

He seemed to be standing casually looking at me and I felt like he was doing something he was told to do.

"Why do you just stay there, this bridge will not last long" Malik telepathically said.

I was quite surprised to hear his voice in my head, I didn't know people like them had such great abilities even if fighting with me, maybe I would lose by a landslide.

"You know who created this place?"

"I know his name is ■■■■■■, it was he who gave it to me to keep this place."

Once the name of this creator was censored and it seems that this system doesn't want to make me deal more deeply with this ability.

I immediately continued my journey, accompanied by the sound of screaming torture and the heat of this place made anyone unable to survive.

As I walked, my mind was filled with many questions. Who is "They" and what is the purpose? Is it true that my abilities are from a God? Why did that person say I had no soul, this was no different from those Dark Elves who sold their souls for power.

"Am I really able to fulfill the wishes of my predecessors?"

I walked on with the view below, and my vision grew blurred and blackened. Am I really the chosen one? Why should I be charged this? A weak child who can do nothing but receive continuous injuries and is helped continuously by a woman.

"Son, raise your head, a lot of people are expecting you out there and that means you're a very special person."

"Special...."

I immediately turned around, and looked at him as if smiling sincerely at me behind his sinister mask.

Then I got to the end of this rope and made me realize from the sinking of me in my mind.

I smiled and sighed to calm my mind.

"Lately I've been advised by people and behind your ugly mask, it must be just shy old grandparents."

After saying so, I immediately walked along this path and I felt a little relieved that there were many people who had already acknowledged me, even through the power of this loan.

"Even if I'm helped by this system, but still this power will be entirely mine!"

As far as the eye could see and I had already moved away from Malik's sight. He seemed to just sit there and do nothing.

"Hehe.., huhaha...!!!"

His laughter boomed and his voice was loud enough, anyone hearing him would goosebumps in fear.

"Hehe...." He took his mask and removed it from his face. "I didn't expect the young man of today to be so attractive, the look and face he looked before was so pitiful, but he was able to overcome his weakness quickly."

Malik raised both his hands.

Dur....

Suddenly the thin rope disappeared and nothing else as a means of crossing.

"Show me your abilities, son! And take everything that's here! It should be like that young spirit!"

He revealed a terrifying grin from his true face and his eyes revealed the spirit of a true warrior.

...•••...

On the other side....

"I walked for a long time and found no gates at all...."

After a few steps, I finally saw two giant statues and they were visible from a distance.

"What's on top of that statue?"

I used the "God's Eye" and appeared to be someone with a large, muscular body.

But....

"Huh?! Where are their heads?"

I was very surprised to see it, because their heads were not there at all and one of their hands was a long sword, the sword was curved slightly.

Since I already knew the location of the gate, I immediately rushed to get there.

Just a moment before the gate...

"This gate... it's terrible...!"

I looked up at the gate, there were many skulls attached to this gate, and then there was something pink that moved looking it was flesh. Not only that, there are also humans stuck there who wriggle like worms.

Gluey!

"Look at it anyway, this is so terrible!"

Bur...!

Bur...!

The two guards immediately jumped from the top of the statue and a sign of the fight had already begun.

"Buddies, out!"

Instantly my body gave off a black aura and it formed a wolf.

"Grrh... Uuuu..!!"

Tlengs!

The two of them also directly prepared themselves against us and the weapons had been dealt to each other.

"Because it's a partner fight, then...." While bringing up my sickle. "It will be a battle of cohesiveness."

"Grrh... Hoarrrgg..!!"

The set! The set!

The set! The set!

We go ahead and face them.
