Night time, 12 hours after the start of the expedition.
The expedition group had advanced through the antechamber, killing every Abyss creature they came across so mercilessly so that one could see the thousands of critters' bodies and hundreds of still-flaring hellhounds lying on the ground behind them, verifying the destruction they had left.
These fighters then finally reached the second gate, the connecting place between the antechamber and the main chamber of Abyss. The place where Cerberus, the gatekeeper of hell was.
Looking at the best fighters the world had to offer while receiving their undivided attention could make anyone who was in his current position nervous under the pressure. However, Alex did not seem to feel the pressure as he slowly opened his mouth.
"I assume that some of you have encountered and faced this monster before." said Alex calmly and clearly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
