Chapter 37: I Need Help!

(*Celia’s POV*)

Juni mentioned that these demons come from hell, and she would be right. I mean, I think that this is hell? It’s all fire and brimstone, after all.

After I slew that demon, a magical circle appeared around me. Said magical circle transported both me and the demon’s body to a different place. Is this really hell?…

Ruina: “Celia, it’s been a while, but I have finished the bulk of my work… What the fuck!? How did you even end up dying!?” She said with a confused tone.

Celia: “Ruina, is this actually hell?” I ask.

Ruina: “Yes! It is truly hell, in every sense of the word. What kind of sin did you commit to land in the deepest part of hell, anyway?” She asked with a sigh.

Celia: “I don’t think that I am damned, Ruina. After I killed a demon, I ended up teleporting here.” I explain.

Ruina: “You aren’t dead? Regardless, you should have instantly died after you ended up here… Ah, it’s because you’re bonded with Nia. Death Goddess privilege, and all that.” She said with a thinking tone.

Celia: “How the hell do I get out of this place? Pun not intended…” I ask with a serious tone.

Ruina: “I assume that you’ve tried to teleport to your dungeon already, which won’t work. Basically, you have to find the current administrator of hell, and get him or her to help you leave.” She explained.

Celia: “Let me guess, they live near the top of Hell, right?” I ask with a sigh.

Ruina: “Bingo! Good luck getting out of hell! No, really. All the beings here would just love to steal your body. In that sense, be extremely careful.” She advised.

Fuck… I never thought that I would end up in hell… What’s more, I haven’t actually died. What a shitty outcome for me helping out one of my wives! No. I don’t regret helping her out, but isn’t this a little bit crazy?

Ria: “Celia? I can’t pinpoint your location. Where are you?” She asked with a concerned tone in my head.

Celia: “In hell.” I reply with a deadpan tone.

Ria: “…That isn’t funny, Celia.” She said with a sigh.

Celia: “It truly isn’t. Which is why it sucks that I ended up here. No, I didn’t die.” I reply with a sigh of my own.

Explaining what happened to Ria went well, but she was clearly upset that it did happen. Not even Ria, the overpowered Goddess herself, can invade hell and save me, so I was on my own. I can’t believe that I have to escape hell, all while my family fights a war…

The scenery around me was certainly… hellish? I mean, it truly felt like I was in Hell. Despite being in Hell, Viva’s spirits are still with me. As such, I can go invisible. Which is good, considering that this place is littered with demons.

My curiosity got the better of me, so I peeked at the Status of the strongest looking demon in this area. The results of my curiosity scared me somewhat…

______________________________________________________________________________

:Status:

Name: Demon of Gruesome Death.

:Summary:

A Demon that was once a God. Despite dying and losing all of their power, it managed to become a God once more. Though it was all in vain, since it cannot leave Hell.

Ruina’s Note: Don’t even fucking THINK about trying to fight this thing, Celia! It could literally sneeze on you, and you would just straight up DIE!

Just to make ABSOLUTELY sure that you won’t attempt fighting this thing, Ria’s Status is five times higher than this being. That is how powerful it is!

______________________________________________________________________________

Yeah… Ruina, I understand your note, and I won’t be even thinking of doing such a thing. That… thing. Is the most powerful being that I have ever seen. I guess that it’s good to know that Ria is just as absurdly powerful as we all think that she is…

If she is that powerful, it’s no wonder why the will of my world wouldn’t want her to mess with history. I mean, Ria could easily do such a thing whenever she wants…

With no one to help me, I set off on my own to find a way out of this place. As long as I avoid letting anyone or anything see me, I should be fine… Fuck! I just jinxed myself yet again! Goddamnit!

*Hours Later.*

Sure, I didn’t get caught by anyone, but I was still fucked either way… This way went on for literally miles! There was no real end to it at all. Even when I tried to fly up to the ceiling, it would just get higher and higher. What the hell?… Again, pun not intended!

Ruina: “I forgot to mention, but think of each layer of hell, as a huge box. An infinite box. Basically, whenever you reach the top or the edges, you will be teleported back constantly.” She said with a remorseful tone.

Celia: “Okay, then how the… fuck do I get out of here?” I ask with a fed up tone.

Ruina: “You need to find a guide that is sanctioned by Hell’s current administrator.” She answered.

Celia: “And where would I find someone like that?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Ruina: “Each layer of Hell has one main city for humanoid beings to safely live in. Find that, and you will then easily find a guide.” She replied.

Great… Now I have to find a city in this huge ass place. What fun!… Well, it truly wasn’t any fun, but I had no choice in the matter, regardless. I just have to calm down, find a guide, and get home to my cute wives!

*Many More Hours Later.*

Holy fuck! I can not, for the life of me, find this fucking city! I have looked EVERYWHERE! I swear to God! It has been an entire day of looking for the city that Ruina mentioned, and all to no avail…

Do I not meet the criteria to find it, since I am a living person?… With a sigh, I sat down on a random Hell tree, and looked around the place. Eventually, I spotted a cave. Inside the cave, was some light, so there was someone, or something inside it right now.

With nothing better to do, I ventured into the cave. Whether or not that I will find a person, or a demon inside the cave, is something that I will just have to find out. I just hope that it is a person. Even better, I hope that is a person that can actually help me out…
