Risha drew her bow.

A distinctive red glow emerged in the shape of an arrow. It felt really destructive, really powerful, and sinister as well.

"Perhaps this wasn't just a magic bow?" Risha thought.

It was hard to steady the bow, as it shivered and trembled. Shaking in all directions.

What kind of souls exsist in hell? Thoese that lament, thoese that had suffered, thoese who had sinned. All these souls convereged into a single arrow, and was fired off ahead.

Towards a certain type of creature where these souls wanted to kill it off even more. The final stage of the 14th floor of hell. The devil itself was their enemy.

He wasn't a really strong devil, unlike thoese who ironically live on the upper floors. Such as Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan. Thoese 3 simply found this gameshow as an amusing game. However , not for the devil of the 14th floor. If he fail to get even one of them, he would be executed. After all, that would mean that a certain devil has lost his bet and would definetly come after him for it.

He was a simple spectra. Thoese demons that trouble houses and people in solitude. However, he was not an ordinary one. He was one which was able to even collapse entire kingdoms from the gigantic castle. Bringing down kings and rulers into despair.

The arrow flew, as the devil who was unable to overcome Mitsuha's insane amounts of pisonic power, could only succumb with a hole pierced through his heart.

Like all devils, he wouldn't die.

But his defense was the best of his kind. No mere arrow should even be able to pierce through his skin.

However, his body didn't regenerate. Even without the presence of wood, the devil had died. The tormented souls rampaged through his entire exsistence, seeking their revenge upon him, and finally brining him down as well.

Weeks without sleep, the group moved on through the portal that had appeared again.

"Where did you get that bow?" asked Mitsuha.

"We found it in the sewers" Risha replied.

"..." Mitsuha had no words.

Her entire effort was focused on completing this stupid trials, and get out of hell.

After which...

Since they were the descendents of the heroes, perhaps they could still save Benedict who was trapped somewhere in here.

He didn't die. Her instincts told her.

And added on to that, the devils questioning where they had hidden him further affirmed this fact.

"Let's take a break" Mitsuha announced, as she collapsed on the floor.

And, all of their visions turned black instantly. After all, they only managed to stay awake from various drugs Mr David carried on him.

They were used to toture his prisioners for answers in the past. He would never have thought to use it this way.

For a few days, they didn't move. Like dead bodies, they laid there.

The 15th floor of hell.

"Hey its me again!" a nasal voice could be heard.

HIs name was Lucifer, the devil of the sin of pride , one of the few that stands at the top of the heirachy.

"Now then, its actually a suprise you made it this far without a single casualty! That's actually a new record!" the devil happily announced.

"Yes, I know what you're all thinking, but this isn't a deception floor! In fact, you could call this the most simple floor you have to face yet! Its simple really, just kill this monster and you'll pass!" the devil of pride announced.

"Identify!" the group called out.

Fernia the beholder

As a creature that embodies the sin of pride, this creature had been named by the great devil of hell, Lucifer.

RANK: SSSS+

 A floating, gigantic one eyed monster with a ball like structure and bat wings, and teeth that stretched out from one end to the other.

The pride of Lucifer didn't allow for them to make it pass safely again.

And of course, from the one gigantic eye, an instant deathray shot out.

It was huge, and fast, so fast so that only Mr David could see it comming. He immediately rushed and pushed away the other 3 girls.

His right arm and left leg was sacraficed as he barely made it out alive.

"Who said that monsters can't use their ultamite skills off the bat?" the voice taunted.

Mr David groaned, as blood continued to spill out from his missing limbs.

Risha immdiately went to help, casting recovery spells to the best of her abilities.

The monster didn't let up even for a single second. It proceeded to swipe at them with his wings, playing around with them like food.

Risha held onto Mr David, and attempted to dodge with him in toll.

However, Mr David knew that he was too heavy for her to carry and dodge in time.

Pushing her with his only able hand, he was blown and smashed into the rocky walls, by the wing.

He coughed up blood.

Blood was draining out at an impossible rate.

Risha rushed to him, and tried to save him. But it was no use, he would die regardless.

Realizing this fact, Mr David could only sigh in regret. The whole thing was his fault anyways. The least he could do was to at least help them get pass this place alive.

The monster squealed in delight, as they it was pleased with itself.

How arrogant.

Mitsuha bombarded it with the only ability she could put her trust in. Yet, it appeared to have little to no effect.

"Oh I forgot to mention this, but beholders have extremely high resistance to pisonic and magical abilities" the devil laughed.

Usagi couldn't do anything in this situation. Her bunny ears stood on its ends, as she attempted to get the attention of the flying monster by throwing her weapon at it.

And to her horror, it only bounced off pathetically.

"And with my blessings, its weakness against physical attacks are nullified!" the devil laughed again.

"Usagi come here" Mr David ordered, as the monster was busy squirming around in joy, doing nothing. As expected of a monster of pride. Arrogance was its second nature.

He threw all the money he had towards her.

3million credits.

He didn't have a family, the only one he could think of was of his orphanage in the town of Peliol, it was where he had killed the bastard lord on his own will. Located just next to the great sea of Galiol.

"Hey, could you help me give it to the orphanage at this town of Peliol?" Mr David asked her in a hoarse voice.

"eh? eh? Why don't you give it yourself?" Usagi tried to brighten the mood by acting ignorant of his injuries. But her crying face was saying otherwise.

Mr David chuckled, and then sat up.

"It was a pity that I couldn't teach you all anymore of the martial arts, but I'll leave the scrolls here." Mr David said, as he emptied his inventory again onto Usagi who had the highest strength amongst them.

"Well then"

Mr David leapt with a single feet towards the beat. In fact, he activated all his high-tier hiding abilities just for this.

His hands were clutching onto a whole bunch of dynamites and bombs.

There was no battlecry, no shout to bring down the beast, just pure silence, as he leapt into the hapilly smiling open mouth of the beast.

After all, he was an assassin.

In fact, the beast didn't even realise it until he expoded from inside out.

The three girls could only stare in silence.

"Congratulations!" the hateful devil announced.
