Archdemon

Huo Ling clapped his hands, interrupting Sylvia's desire to continue thinking, and said, "Okay, my princess... Our top priority now should be to quickly determine where this is and find a way to return to the spirit world, right?"

Sylvia sighed and said, "You make sense."

The two walked out of the cave again, and Huo Ling collected the defensive and warning arrays set up around them.

Huo Ling summoned a nightmare warhorse again and rode on it. As a druid, Sylvia naturally would not walk on two legs, so she chose to cast a spell to summon a wild colt from the wilderness plane.

The two rode on horses and walked in this wilderness. From time to time, they could see scorched land and some deep pits caused by explosions. They frowned and wanted to know the situation in this world.

Sylvia looked at the environment here and always felt that the answer was about to come out, but it was always stuck at a certain point.

Suddenly, in the dim sky, a huge ball of fire fell from the sky.

Feeling the violent magic in the flames, Huo Ling and Sylvia didn't care about searching for answers anymore, and rode their mounts and ran.

"Boom!!!"

The fireball fell to the ground, and a huge roar broke out. Along with the sound, there was a heat wave and dust and gravel swept by the heat wave.

Huo Ling and Sylvia looked at the scene not far away, and they already had the answer in their hearts.

The answer that was just a layer of window paper away now completely emerged in their hearts.

Sylvia's voice became dry: "Nine layers of purgatory!"

Huo Ling also nodded weakly. He never thought that Adrian would exile him and Sylvia to purgatory.

Even Huo Ling guessed that this was a certain layer of the abyss. After all, Adrian has now fallen into a demon.

But they never thought that they would be in the nine layers of purgatory.

The fall of the huge fireball just now also allowed him to determine his location, which was the first layer of Purgatory.

This is Avernus!

This is... the place of eternal blood battle!!

...

The battle between demons and devils has lasted for endless years.

Their battle has never really stopped. Almost every moment, there are demons killed by devils, and there are devils killed by devils.

And most of their battlefields take place in Avernus.

This is the first layer of the nine layers of Purgatory. The world of this layer is also extremely huge, and no one can really find where its edge is.

The master here is the devil, this kind of creature full of evil, their nature is evil, but they follow order, they are the natural enemies of the devil.

Connected to Avernus is the Wanyuan Plain of the Abyss, where there are countless large pits, and each pit can directly reach a certain layer of the abyss world.

Every minute and every second, there will be demons coming out of the deep pits of the Wanyuan Plain, and they choose to attack the devil.

Participate in the bloody battle in the bronze fortress of Avernus.

In addition to the Wanyuan Plain, other abyssal worlds will also connect with Avernus at a certain moment. Sometimes these abyssal worlds will appear around the Wanyuan Plain.

Sometimes, these abyssal worlds will even appear in an unknown corner of Avernus.

Countless demons, led by their lords, rushed out of the abyss and killed into Avernus.

Here, these demons will encounter stubborn resistance from the devils until they are killed or expelled back into the abyss.

Most of the time, the devils will win the defensive battle and successfully make the demons return empty-handed.

Sometimes, the devils will even counterattack the abyss under the leadership of some great devils and kill all the demons inside.

Finally, this layer of the abyss world will be integrated into Purgatory and become the new Purgatory territory of these devil dukes.

Of course, the process of integration is a long time and will consume huge energy.

However, this is not a difficult thing for the devil dukes, who are very happy to expand their own territory.

It can be said that there are no more deaths in any place in the world than in Avernus.

Every minute and every second, there may be hundreds of thousands of demons and devils dying. Of course, whether there are devils or devils, there will also be devils' mercenaries.

These mercenaries come from various worlds, even various kingdoms in the spirit world. They will come to this level to fight for the devils in order to fulfill their contracts with the devils or to make money.

Sylvia's voice became dry, and she said, "Do you know about Purgatory?"Huo Ling was amused when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "My status is not as high as yours. I only heard that the ruler of this layer of purgatory is the devil lord Zariel... The rest is just some simple information."

Sylvia sighed. She knew a little bit of information. After all, hundreds of years ago, their branch of wood elves had sent an army to Avernus.

This is a powerful army with a large number of middle and high-level elves, and even several legendary ones.

But the degree of cruelty of this battle far exceeded the imagination of the elves, and eventually led to a series of tragedies later.

"Why did he send us here?" Sylvia was like a helpless puppy at this time, becoming very confused.

"Maybe... he wants you to know what he once faced." Huo Ling thought about it and said casually.

"Okay, let's go. No matter what the reason is, we always have to move forward. I still want to go home."

Huo Ling gently urged the nightmare warhorse under his crotch and continued to move forward.

As he walked, his words reached Sylvia's ears: "Originally, I was going to go back after this battle, my child was about to be born! Damn it, I'm unlucky to meet you!!"

...

Huo Ling rode his warhorse and soon came to the place where the big fireball had just fallen. A big pit appeared on the ground again.

There were still some flames around the big pit that had not been extinguished. The temperature in the center of the big pit was the highest. At this time, Huo Ling also knew why there were so many big pits and gravel on this land.

He recalled the introduction about Avernus that he had seen before. For travelers on this level, every magic day, there is a 10% chance that they will encounter a big fireball falling from the sky.

The power of this fireball is roughly equivalent to the power of a fire spell between the gold level and the holy level.

Looking at the road ahead, there are still countless big pits. It can be imagined what the creatures on this land face every day.

On the other side, Sylvia, who was feeling sad and confused, also chased after him again, and the two of them continued to move forward.

However, Huo Ling felt that it was a bit strange. Normally, there should be countless demons in Purgatory, but now there is no demon. This is definitely abnormal.

Although the two of them were not moving fast enough, they had walked a long way, and all they could see was wasteland.
