Purgatory

When I came out of the portal, I saw a view of mountain valleys and flaming lava, as well as a dark sky here. I also feel the dark flame in this world, as well as dark matter.

When I tried to activate dark matter, I noticed a change in my appearance. My hand is covered with dark purple energy like the left one, I also feel that my hands have become stronger, and my eyes have begun to see further and clearer.

I also noticed that my body began to be covered with this dark energy. As I understood it - dark matter. And it looks like I underestimated the power of dark matter. I feel that it is much more useful than the mana shroud.

[*Ding*! Acquired the skill [Dark Matter Control[ur1]! Congratulations, Master, you were able to gain control of dark matter. This is a good start.] - Said Niva.

- Hmm... If I can get good control over dark matter, I can make myself very strong in battle. But we need to check the hellfire now. I said to myself.

I tried to imagine a dark purple flame in my mind and in my hand to imagine it. As a result, I was able to summon hellfire in a couple of minutes. And it looks a little weak to me. And I noticed that during this time my mana is spent very quickly now it is already worth [5473/9900]. It seems that using these abilities too often will be expensive for now, but when I pump the control to the maximum, then I can use it to my glory and to the delight of my enemies Mu-ha-ha-ha!

Opa, even I was carried the wrong way. It's too early to pretend to be a Demon King, you need to live at least 1 century, well, or 3 centuries at the very least.

So where was I? Oh, yes, we need to put out the flames. And I put it out. Then a message came from Niva:

[*Ding*!Congratulations! The skill [Hellfire Control[ur1] has been obtained. Keep going, but don't forget where you are!] - Said Niva.

- You're right, Niva, again I thought too much about the possibilities of how to use these powers. And it looks like thanks to my high race, I will be able to pump control quickly. Although my bloodline has only awakened by 95%. I feel that a little more and the control will be even better. - I said and asked Niva - Niva can you show me the status of these abilities, otherwise I somehow forgot about it with everything.

[Yeah... so many years, and never thought of asking them to find out their status. You think too much, but you don't remember some things well.] - Said Niva again with notes of notation. Just a mother who points out the mistakes of her son. But the status still showed and as a result:

---

[Dark matter is an unknown dark substance that demons can create and manipulate. You can give any shape at will, for example, use it as additional limbs for an attack, or concentrate it at some point on the body, using it as additional protection.]

[Requirement: 1000 mana per second]

---

[Hellfire is a powerful black flame capable of burning what does not burn in ordinary fire, ignoring regeneration and killing immortals. In addition, this flame is difficult to extinguish. This flame is strongest among the Higher Demons and only in their hands does the infernal flame reveal its full potential

[Requirement: 2200 mana per second]

----

Yeah... I even forgot that flames can kill immortals, which is very good. But if I remember well, Meliodas could cover weapons with flames and make them more dangerous. But at my attempt, the weapon does not live long. - I said analyzing the hellfire. - It seems that the magical background here is much higher than in that world, and I also noticed that I can turn the dark matter surrounding me into mana and replenish my reserves. This place was simply created so that demons would dominate here! - I said finally and decided to pump control and train with him.

After 6 hours of training and pumping control.

When I started to train control, I tried to create a huge paw like in the anime with Meliodas, but the result is still slow. While forming a hand and spending mana, I would have died 3 times in a real fight while doing it. With hellfire, everything was easier to say so, but mana eats the most, because you don't need to give him a form, he will burn everyone to ashes anyway. And I need to cover it on my weapon.

And after 30 minutes, I realized that it's better to start by creating simple things and using hellfire.

Then I spent 2 hours trying to get control of both forces [ur2].

Then I spent 3 hours pumping to [ur3].

And for the remaining 30 minutes he spent on restoring all mana and stamina. Since I realized that it's best to beat dark matter against something and make it be solid and keep its shape. Although when I got up, on the horizon I saw the one I just needed.

A huge fat red and ugly demon was coming towards me! And as I understood from the status of his characteristics, he is in my teeth to a certain extent:

---

{Status}

[Name - Red Demon]

[Level - 54]

[Age - 1063]

[Race is the Lowest Demon]

[Racial abilities - hellfire, dark matter. Soul Absorption]

[Skills - dark matter control [ur5], hellfire control[ur6].]

Specifications

:[Strength - 381]

[Dexterity - 81]

[Endurance - 8500/8500]

[Protection - 441 ]

[Mana - 11100/11100]

---

Yeah... looking at his status, I felt flawed for a short time, and when I looked at how old he was, I cheered up! After all, he has been living for so many years, and still exists in the caste of lower demons, so there are chances to kill him. Moreover, as I remember, they are not too smart creatures, so it was easier to use them without fear of uprisings.

I decided not to waste time and ran at him with a quick jerk. Since I'm in Purgatory, my higher demon abilities are much better here than in that world, so using other things would be a bad idea. I will only waste my time, and I also doubt that objects will survive in a place full of dark matter energy and hellfire.

I was too fast for him, apparently, since he didn't even have time to blink as I covered my hands with dark matter and a little hellfire. And I started hitting him with very, very fast punches. Due to his lack of agility and experience, he couldn't handle an opponent as fast as me. After 14 minutes, I was able to fill it up, but I was very tired and even had to use one mana potion [ur8].

When I finished, a big quest came to me from which I wanted to scream with joy!

When I read the quest, I first thought what kind of cretin added a second button? But the second thought is to hurry, and then I quickly ran to look for all these demons. I also decided to train during the fight with them and it seems to be more effective, as I noticed in sparring with my Father.

Although I know that it will be very difficult to do such a feat, but I should have enough time for it. Thank all that I can glorify that I don't have a timer. And so the timer would interfere too often when completing the quest.

As for the additional reward, I would not refuse the faithful Merascilla, of course she was shown as a cutie at first, but something should be done with the character, although she seems to be completely submissive to me, so she will restrain her sadistic character. I definitely could use someone with brains and completely loyal only to me. Otherwise, I don't trust anyone at all, except Niva.

How dreary it all is, you need to find a hobby, otherwise I'll really glue the fins together soon...
