Chapter 395 Weakening Seal

“... Where... is this?!”.

As the mist of the Gate of the Abyss disappeared before his eyes, Sareth found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

The air here was not like in Frostfire City, where it was cold and accompanied by the smell of sulfur. Instead, it was a thick and suffocating smell of blood and decay, making Sareth feel like vomiting.

It was dark all around, and he could not even see his own fingers. He took a long time to adapt to this darkness. Perhaps it was because of his demon bloodline, but his darkvision was gradually unearthed. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, looked down, and found himself standing in a pool of blood that was up to his ankles. He could not help but scream and back away in fear.

However, no matter where he retreated, the stench of blood was always there. The sticky feeling lingered at his feet, making him feel extremely disgusted.

After a while, Sareth calmed down and recalled what Roy had said.

Is this the Demon World that Foster Father mentioned? It feels so different from Frostfire City... Sareth thought as he looked up into the distance.

In the endless darkness, Sareth saw dark clouds churning in the sky, and red lightning would flash from time to time, constraining him to the point of despair. Under the dark clouds was a boundless space so vast that he could not see the end. All kinds of damaged buildings and strange plants interweaved into strange black shadows on this land. And in these black shadows, pairs of red, lantern-like eyes would appear from time to time. They were the various monsters and demons living on the Demon World. They fought each other, preyed on each other, sucked the blood of the prey, bit the flesh and drank the blood of the prey, and used the souls of the prey to strengthen themselves... Even though Sareth had seen many demons in Frostfire City, such an oppressive and terrifying scene still frightened him. He, who had never been to other places in the Abyss, thought that the Abyss of Hell that his Mother Cassandra mentioned was like Frostfire City. But after seeing this Demon World, he realized that Frostfire City was unique compared to the environments where other demons lived...

In the dark sky, giant shadows flashed by from time to time. Sareth remembered Roy’s teachings, so he quickly lowered his body to hide himself before randomly choosing a direction to move in.

Sareth really did not want to stay in this damn place. He planned to find a channel to the human world as soon as possible, as Roy had said.

The smelly bloody swamp under his feet spread far away. He walked cautiously, but he held his scythe, Executioner, tightly in his hands. Even though he was already very careful, the sudden attack came without warning!

A strange fish lurking in the bloody swamp suddenly sprang up from Sareth’s feet, shook its tail, and jumped up to bite his left wrist. Its sharp teeth, which were like sawteeth, instantly pierced through his skin and stabbed into his flesh.

“Ah!!” Sareth screamed while hurriedly shaking his left wrist with all his might in an attempt to shake off the strange fish. But he did not expect that the more he shook, the tighter it bit!

Sareth, who lacked combat experience, only remembered to use his scythe after a while...

The sharp blade of Executioner instantly cut the strange fish in half. But the monsters living here were quite tenacious, and the remaining half of its body stayed bitten into Sareth’s wrist and swayed for a long time before gradually losing its movements.

After the strange fish finally stopped moving, Sareth opened the fish’s mouth. He looked at the densely-packed, blood-filled holes on his wrist and felt like crying.

Although he had the powerful physique of a demon-human hybrid and would not take long to recover from such a small injury, when he saw his blood dripping into the blood below, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

As expected, there was a great commotion under the originally calm surface of the water. Due to the stimulation of the fresh blood, more strange fish emerged from the nests they were lurking in and gathered toward the smell of blood. All of them jumped out of the water ferociously and bit at Sareth.

Sareth panicked and quickly waved the scythe to kill these strange fish. But his wild swinging only hit some unlucky ones. The fish that slipped through bit him all over his body.

The constant pain made Sareth break out in cold sweat. With his current strength at the middle-rank demon level, it should not have been a problem for him to deal with these monster fish. Unfortunately, he really had too little combat experience, so he suffered numerous injuries due to his lacking response.

Under the pain, Sareth finally exploded. Fierce flames rose from his body and burned all the strange fish that bit him into charcoal.

Haa Haa... Sareth panted, feeling dizzy. It was merely dealing with a group of monsters, but he had wasted a lot of magic power. But after his mind gradually cleared, he realized that he seemed to have made another mistake.

The flames that suddenly erupted just now were extremely eye-catching in this dark Demon World. It was equivalent to exposing his existence. After he withdrew the flames, he saw that some scarlet eyes in the distance were looking at him.

“Not good. There may be powerful demons coming to check. I have to get out of here!” Sareth calmed down a little. He quickly held Executioner in one hand and his pistol, Calamity, in the other. As he prepared for battle, he left.

But along the way, Sareth still encountered many monsters, forcing him to fight. When a group of flying monsters with strange wings attacked him, he could only use Calamity to fire back.

It was fine to use the gun, but the problem was that the gunshots were ear-piercingly loud in this terrifying world, causing even more ferocious monsters to gather toward him.

On the first day that Sareth entered the Demon World, he was riddled with wounds and on the verge of death under the attacks of many monsters. If not for him finally finding a place to hide in the rubble, he might have died on the first day he came to this world...

Is this... is this what Foster Father had to experience? Is this how demons survive? Sareth thought before fainting...

When Sareth woke up the next day and found that his wounds had all healed, he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, it was the first time he experienced the formidable recovery ability of his demon-human body.

Sareth carefully looked out, left his hiding place, and continued moving on. But no matter how vast the space was, there were still many demons and monsters everywhere. What was even stranger was the plants contaminated by the dark power of demons. These plants were usually motionless, but once someone intruded into their territory, they would immediately attack, making it almost impossible to guard against.

Sareth spent a week fighting continuously. Although he suffered wounds every time, it was undeniable that he had rapidly accumulated a lot of combat experience in such high-intensity battles.

After some time, Sareth slowly became accustomed to these life-and-death battles. He gradually abandoned his fear and became able to fight.

Moreover, in these days of fighting, he started to devour the souls of the monsters and demons he killed to replenish his stamina and magic power consumption. He found that the monsters and demons he encountered in this Demon World were basically at the low-rank demon level, but there were too many of them. In this boundless and vast world, there were possible tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of low-rank demons. Even though they were hunting and killing one another every day, Sareth felt that their numbers were not decreasing at all...

If so many demons go to the human world, they will probably destroy it in an instant, right? Sareth thought. I heard from Mother Julia that most humans are very weak, and they can’t even deal with ordinary monsters...

Thinking of this, Sareth could not help but rejoice. This was the first time he felt fortunate that he was a demon-human hybrid. If he were just a human, he would have died when he entered this place...

“Indeed, Foster Father was right. Only being powerful is the foundation of survival.”

After two weeks, the young Sareth had received a great baptism in his outlook on the world and life and his values in this cruel Demon World, and his personality began to change. The rashness and recklessness that he had as a child had now become much more restrained, and he began to become calm and mature.

Benia was right. Although the survival method of demons seemed cruel, it was the fastest way for Sareth to grow.

After Sareth familiarized himself with the two weapons that Roy gave him, his crisis of survival was resolved. At least, before encountering stronger demons, he was now strong enough to protect himself. But after two weeks of searching, Sareth still did not find a so-called channel to the human world.

On the contrary, Sareth discovered that the entire Demon World seemed to be in a sealed state, and he did not know what was going on.

“Patience, stay patient!” Sareth comforted himself. He wanted to prove his value in front of Roy and complete the mission Roy gave him, so he had to be patient enough. Time continued to fly by, and Sareth’s perception of time gradually became blurry. He did not know how much time had passed, but as he continued exploring, he suddenly found a huge commotion among the demons and monsters nearby.

Many of these demons and monsters were fighting and hunting each other. But suddenly, they all stopped moving and ran in the same direction without looking back, as though they had unanimously agreed to do so.

The scene of hundreds of demons and monsters moving toward the same place at the same time was something that Sareth had never seen before, but this abnormality meant that there were changes, so he cleverly followed the demons.

After running about two kilometers, he finally saw what the demons wanted to do.

On the ground in front of them, an enormous, irregular, and jagged spatial rift was standing there and emitting a faint green light. Something seemed to be attracting the demons and monsters as they greedily rushed forward and squeezed into the spatial rift. As long as they jumped into the green light, they would immediately disappear. That must be the channel that Foster Father mentioned! Sareth was excited. He had finally found it after such a long time. As long as he followed the demons and monsters into the rift...

What Sareth did not know was that he was actually unlucky this time. He had waited for such a long time before a rift opened, but in fact, if he had been lucky, it would not have taken him so long. In this vast Demon World, spatial rifts like this appeared everywhere every day. It was just that the opening time could be long or short. When it was long, it could allow numerous demons to pass, but when it was short, there might not be even one...

The reason why this rift appeared was not by chance, but because... the seal of the Dark Knight Sparda was gradually weakening!
