Chapter 351: Tartarus

It was like a good 8 minutes till we arrived at the bottom, the air is even more toxic than the one up there. Tartarus is just barely lit up with Phlegethon, the river of flames, we can also hear occasional screams coming from it.

I remember the river is used to burn souls while constantly healing them so that they'll endure more pain.

There's rivers of acid, really ugly flying demons everywhere, the ground is jagged sharp rocks, and no building structures anywhere in the abyss. Just hills or mountains or rivers of fire that we can barely see due to the red mist.

Tartarus is super hot, it's unbearable, despite not having a sun, the temperature down here makes this place unlivable, the ones that survives down here are strong creatures.

-He's close, head northeast- Adam informed out of nowhere

-Guys, you heard Adam?-

-No, but I heard Eve's voice.- Dabria replied -She said to head northeast-

"Oh I definitely take back my words about wanting to move here." Urie commented "This is terrible."

"Well one of the guys that we're looking for should be in the northeast, so let's mark this place first so that we can warp here. We can then fly up there to go back since it's our only way back home."

Tartarus is like another world within worlds, and that tunnel up there is our portal, we can warp down here but not warp to go back up or through there.

"Alright when we're walking towards northeast, try to be careful not to fall, these rocks are sharp, and despite just being rocks, it's around S-rank. So it's going to hurt."

-Diana, fly up and scout please. Siege, you can go ahead and be our eyes on the ground. Me and Dabria will try to find Kronos' essence with our eyes. -

-Thanatos did say that there's currently only 10 of them, one is with Nyx herself- Dabria informed –And they have apparently been dissolved to look like a ball of bright light.-

-Cool.-

As we were discussing that, all the wings demons seems to have gathered into a swarm and charged at us.

"Leave this to me." Jake insisted as he clad his legs and sword with aura and wind magic

They all then got slashed, but they didn't die as some barely receive even any damage, I can then see that Jake is now putting every bit of his strength into his next attacks as they all got sliced in 2.

Their screams seems to have attracted more monsters and demons from far away, I can see monsters rising up from the ground. Some of the rock golems whose body are made from the same rock and have lava spewing out of them and Gegenees or sometimes referred to as earthborn in Greek mythologies, a race of six-armed giants.

They're like 8 m tall with armor of scrap metal on their body, some wearing helmets, but all of them are armed(no pun intended), they all hold 6 weapons in their hands, axe, clubs, sword, pickaxes even.

-They might look like scrap metal, but all the metal down here are much more durable than anything up there- Dabria commented

-Let's get some for the smiths in the royal forge. I'm sure they don't mind bloodstains.-

-This is going to be so fun.- Ace laughed

"This is what I've been waiting for. HAHAHAHA. We're going northeast, right?" Erix asked with a big smile on his face

"Yup, that's what he said." Urie confirmed "Let's fight through all of that and head northeast."

"Sorry everyone, I meant to kill them swiftly, but it seems to have attracted a lot more monsters." Jake apologized as he came back to us "Those winged demons just now were much tougher than I anticipated, my sword is SS-rank, yet they somehow withstand my sword that is clad with aura and magic."

"I warned you all, the monsters down here are much stronger than everywhere else, we can think this as training for when we join in the war between the gods."

-Great time to test out my new black core- Damon chimed in as he charged in first changing into a dragon as he dashed forward at incredible speed. One of the earthborn lead the charge and jumped towards Damon, Damon swung his massive arm and hit the earthborn, Damon's claws left a huge claw mark on the ground and killed the earthborn and several ones behind it instantly.

The claw mark on the ground then created ice that spreads over the whole battlefield freezing all the creature's feet slowing them down as the rest of us followed.

I charged against one of the earthborn and ignore all the attacks that's being thrown at me as they all did no damage, not to say that they didn't hurt, but it's like really light pain. With plot armor and the curse of Styx, I feel almost invincible.

I punched it in the face with my full might crushing its head and killing it. I then jumped from one to another and attack them with either my legs or my fist. One swung its sword down and I leaned right, dodging it and jump. I kneed it in the face and summoned a huge fireball to on the spot to blow it to pieces.

A rock golem threw one of its fist at me, in that moment, I clad my fist with aura and fire magic, I intercept it with my fist and my punch was so strong that I destroyed the golems arm easily.

-It made us stronger too, this is really feeling like more of a blessing.-

I then used light magic. Mana started to gather in the sky and created several blades made of bright lights.

"Exploding light blades." I swung my arm down and the light blades fall and once they made contact, it exploded like fireworks, creating an exploding of bright lights blinding the enemies since they mostly live in the dark and are not used to bright lights.
