Kris had ventured through the hellish land lit on ever going flames and rivers flowing with boiling lava.

He had completed fifty percent of his first and second side quest, and he just had to complete the next half. He killed six Lords of their own respectfully civilization the same as he did to the first one he encountered. He placed a bullet in their heads, resulting in a One Shot. Kris possessed no ammo, yet he kept the gun in his inventory.

Six Lords and The King of Dark Hell and its family remains.

He entered the seventh civilization by the gate. With one hand, which is all that he needed, Kris simply pushed the gigantic gate open, which was a big feat. But this couldn't match what the Demons can do on the daily. They could probably pushed opened the gate with their pinky finger.

The gate pushed back the scorching wind and the dry dust infront of it as a heep.

Kris wore heavy armor that had covered him head to toe. It looked like the Dark Ether Gear from before, except with more flashy details, and it had a grand, thick and mystical aura surrounding it.

Rested on his shoulder was a gigantic great sword as the same size as Kris and a spear set vertically behind himself. It seems that all weapons could be dual wielded with the right stats.

The Lord of this Demon civilization was already at the entrance. It seemed that the Lord had expected Kris's arrival.

The Lord was guarded with five Dark Demon Knights and a whole army of them behind him.

Kris stopped in his tracks.

"Well, well. Isn't this a nice surprise," Kris said in a hollow and echoing voice.

The Lord approached Kris with no aggression.

"L-lord?!" One of the Knights inquired in concern.

The Lord placed out his hand to ease the Demons worries.

"It is alright, Zon," said the Lord.

Silence.

It was utter silence. No one deared to utter a word out of their mouth.

Like every other Dark Demon, it had dark red skin with black horns and eyes. The only thing different about it was that it had black hands.

The Lord's steps echoed as if he was in a blank room, alone.

The Demon was now at Kris's side, at whispering range.

The Lord opened his mouth to speak.

It said, "Stop this madness... Player..."

Kris glanced at the Demon from beneath his armor.

"There is no need for violence, human."

".. Of course..." Kris silently said.

The Demon then smiled gleefully.

"Exactly! Now-" The Lord was abruptly cut off.

".. there should be.."

"What?" The Lord inquired in surprise.

"I know that.. you were once a Player too," Kris said. "All of you."

"Only thing is that your world lost to the four Henchmen

and The Omega King, but mine is yet to fall, and I'll make sure it doesn't," said Kris. "So why should I.. give up on my world.. for yours?"

The Lord stammered in awe.

"T-t-that's.. that is not what I'm saying, you foul mouthed fool!" The Lord exclaimed in anger. "Why should we feed sovereign to that true demonic deity?"

Kris pushed the Lord forward with minimum force in hostility. It.. he was like a nuisance.

"I'm not feeding shit to that bastard!" Kris said in anger.

The Dark Demon Knights pulled out their individual weapons, ready to fight.

"You are! Do you think using that creature's power will allow you to defeat it?" The Lord inquired. "Our world didn't even manage to beat the first Henchman, so why do you think your's can? At your current level, you won't be able to defeat even that!"

"..." Kris stayed silent.

"You haven't thought that far have you?" The Lord inquired in a low voice.

The Lord ordered, "Lower your weapons."

As it said so, the Demons followed with slight retaliation.

Kris then answered, ".. True.. but my father always told me this when I was little."

"Thinking hard won't always bring you to a better outcome. It may make it even worse."

"Is that so..?" The Lord inquired. "Then be damned."

The around Kris began to shake and the float in the air.

"What the-?" Kris inquired in surprise.

Earth began to encase Kris in the air, preventing escape. He was trapped and powerless to do anything or even react.

"The Omega King took everything from us. It took over our world and dubbed us as 'Monsters' like the ones that use to infest our world!" The Lord said. "The same Monster's we use to torture and hunt in our lands. Dungeons and Towers!"

"You are already a monster you little shit!" The Lord continued while exclaiming, obviously enraged. "You allowed yourself to be allied with that thing. You are no DIFFERENT, YOU PRRRRRIICCCKK!!!"

The Lord was manipulating the earth around it, to enclose Kris in a sphere of rocks, creating a barrier around him.

"A monster...!?" A muffled voice inquired, showed to be enraged with tone and height of its voice.

The floating earth barrier began to shatter and then crumble to bits on the ground.

Kris had easily escaped. He held his great sword, which was mounted on his right shoulder and held in his right hand.

[False Black Flames has been activated]

[Cryo Field has been activated]

Black flames began to spread and engulfed everything in dark and black ember.

The ground then turned to ice. The whole civilization was affected. In the center, where Kris stood, a dark blue symbol was circling.

Snow miraculously began to fall from the sky. It was a surprise for them to fall in a place like this.

The Knights, seeing their Lord in danger began to charged at his enemy.

[Frost Manipulation has been activated]

Kris activated a skill and waved his hand to the direction where the Knights were coming from. A wall of spikey pillars of ice were the made. They impaled the Knights and some other random civilians.

"Shit!" The Lord exclaimed.

"Now.."
