The Auction Incident II

[Candle] Dante uttered, and a small flame like a candle emerged on his finger. He then began to illuminate the path, descending the stairs... He encountered a scene he never wanted to see...

Several children were trapped by chains, cages, and other objects he didn't even want to mention. Some were sick, bearing purple marks all over their bodies. They weren't just young children; there were youths and adults, gagged and beaten. Moreover, they weren't just humans. Elves, Dwarves, and even magical Beasts; lost children and the like. It was as if... it was a hell.

Unfortunately, Dante didn't have time to think. When they realized Dante was there, they began to tremble. Many of them were terrified, but before he could sit down to calm them...

"Dante! Behind you! Duck!"
