"I've read it, and my answer is, no thanks!" Blake shouted, making sure his voice was loud enough for the humanoid demons on the other side of the gate to hear it loud and clear.

The silence that descended right after Blake said those words stayed for about 10 whole seconds before finally, the scrawny humanoid demon's voice appeared once again.

"Are you really sure? You know that you have to go through us if you want to access the portal to the next realm, right?" Before Blake could respond to the scrawny humanoid demon's words, the latter spoke again.

"And you might not know this, but the situation in the second demon realm isn't anything like the situation here in the first demon realm."

"That's like saying you will get yourselves wet if you jump into the sea. That's a stupid statement. Of course, the second demon realm would be very different from here." This time, it was Vera who spoke instead of Blake.
