Chapter 1224: Cap 1222: Hell really is hell

I was underground in a cave that I dug myself to try to hide, but I can still feel the Diabolical creatures coming after me, the barriers I left behind won't last long.

"(I won't last forever in this place...)" (I)

I just needed enough time to think, Elizabeth threw me here suddenly and since then I haven't had time to think calmly.

She was looking at my arms covered by my Aura, but she could feel my Aura being corroded by the Aura of Hell itself, I also felt that my tiredness takes time to recover here and my hunger is becoming greater and greater.

The worst of all is that I made a small cut on my hand to find out how my healing is going, but everything was much worse than I imagined, my normal recovery was at half the normal power, which is still very good considering what I can normally do grow lost limbs, but the worst part wasn't the decrease in my ability to heal, the worst thing was realizing that the insignificant trace of vitality I lost with that measly injury didn't recover even when the wound was completely healed.

"It seems that I cannot recover my vitality, so I must avoid most fighting and when I do fight, avoid as many injuries as possible." (I)

I after that tried to recover my energy by meditating for a few minutes and luckily this worked very well, but there was a cost, recovering energy means absorbing these energies from the world around, but that means letting some of the power of Hell into my body, the same power that is corroding my Aura and trying to destroy my vitality.

One of the few things that were good about my experiments was discovering that the Starfire within me could burn this energy, presence, or Aura from hell, the problem was that I had no control over these strange flames.

Fortunately, these strange flames were no longer causing damage or pain to me like before, what I was feeling was minimal compared to before.

But one thing remained the same, the Holy Power within my body was still being burned by Starfire making it impossible to resort to the best source of energy to use in this place.

Demonic energy was the only one I could use without causing damage to me and the hardest thing to recover from, but even without using it I'm sure that all creatures in this place must have resistance to this energy and the same must happen with curses.

"My sword and dagger are deteriorating, soon they will be useless, my clothes are going the same way, this place seems to be destroying everything that is not made of death or Demonic energies." (I)

I close my eyes trying to feel the outside and I figure I still have about 20 or 30 minutes before I run from this place.

"I don't want to fight without any protection, I think I'll have to go back to the old ways." (I)

---------------

I spent almost all the time I had left using my threads made using Demonic energy and Metal Affinity to create simple clothes for myself, nothing that comes close to something Tania can make with her eyes closed, but it's still better than nothing.

After I changed my clothes I realized that it was no longer suffering from the wear and tear it used to have, I also realized that the effects of the Demonic magic I used were stronger than expected, probably due to the environment full of this type of energy, I wish I had used my blood to make the clothes even stronger, which would have used up more of my vitality and that's why I didn't do it.

"The greatest needs are ready, I have a sense of what to expect and I have some protection for my body, now to attack..." (I)

I throw aside my soon to be useless weapons and using what I learned about my new body, I try to transform just my tail, arms, and legs into their Dragon forms, when I realized that I can alter this with some ease just by briefly focusing on it, I realized that only my body would be a truly useful weapon in this place.

"< Path of Shadows >" (I)

This whole cave is dark, I simply enter this darkness leaving a magic circle hundreds of meters away in a place that was already in another smaller cave, as soon as I arrived I ran out of there looking in the direction where my previous hiding place should be, but the landscape had changed once again, what were once hills, now became a swamp, clearly things had changed once again.

I looked around in all directions and didn't see any hilltops, I guess now I know what's going on to some extent. n(-In

"(The world itself is in flux, everything is constantly moving even if I can't see that movement.)" (I)

"Look what I have here, I didn't think I'd find someone as detestable as you."

I turn towards the voice already slashing with my claws which transform into its Dragon form, but the enemy just holds tight to my wrist and I can see its appearance.

It was a male Demon, its skin was pink, its body was a little fat for its size, its arms and legs were large hunks of pure muscle appearing to have no skin to cover it all, its eyes were dark yellow, with two horns on the sides of its face head curved upwards, its head looked like that of a horse whose mouth opens like a flower full of teeth.

"Why do you want to fight, I didn't do anything to you." (I)

"HAHAHAHAHAHA.... HOW DID I WAIT FOR THIS!!!!"

"I'M GOING TO DEVOUR YOUR BODY VERY SLOWLY JUST LIKE YOU DID WHEN YOU MELTED MY BODY!!!!"

"Than you..." (I)

He tries to cut my arm, but I cut his arm free, and then a sequence of punches and kicks began to be exchanged between us, his strength was the same as mine, but each blow seemed to create a vibration throughout my body using Demonic energy.

I avoided talking by focusing on the combat since I needed to avoid as many injuries as possible, but even so, he continued talking without stopping, his voice sounding loud and strange because of his strangely shaped mouth.

"I JUST WANTED TO LIVE MY LIFE IN COMFORT, MY POTIONS AND DRUGS WERE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY... HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"EVEN HAVING SUCH WEAK PEOPLE TO TEST MY CREATIONS, I WAS AMAZING AT MANAGING TO KEEP THEM ALIVE LONGER TO CHECK ALL THE RESULTS UNTIL THAT DAMN FAIRY!!! WHERE IS THAT FAIRY!!!!"

I thought he was crazy, but the more he talked, something inside my mind blossomed as if putting together a puzzle of memories.

"IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT DAMN FAIRY! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!!! I COULD HAVE LIVED FOR A LONG TIME WITH THOSE BEAUTIES PRESENTED TO ME!!!"

"MY BODY!!! MY GREAT BODY!!! MELTED BY SUCH A DETESTABLE BEING!!!!!!"

"DETESTABLE!!!"

He didn't stop attacking me, each blow being heavier and with a greater amount of Demonic Energy, his Aura becoming pure killer instinct as he attacked more and more recklessly without worrying about my attacks against him.

I soon realized why he was so bold with his attacks and so careless with his defense, my attacks were doing almost no damage or perhaps I should say that every time I dealt damage his body was remade healing him in the process.

When I cut his arm with my claws I realized that his muscles were hard as steel, but the same could not be said of his head and torso, so I made a hole in his head using my tail and caused several cuts on his chest to the point of cut the bones from the inside, but all that damage was healed as his body writhed around the wounds like some kind of Slime before closing the wounds healing him in the process.

"MY GREAT SELF BECOMING FOOD!! MY PRECIOUS BODY WAS TREATED AS AN INGREDIENT LIKE THE POTIONS I USED TO MAKE JUST TO BE EATEN!!! EATEN!!!"

"DETESTABLE!!!"

He continued talking to himself while attacking me, but among his murderous madness, his story came together in my head like a puzzle bringing an old memory back to my mind.

The memory of when I got the Synthesis ability, an ability I got by melting the body of a criminal Alchemist in a sphere of water with a corrosion effect, I remember that it was Layla who captured him secretly invading her laboratory, his story and fixation on me match I had a lot of this memory to the point where I wondered if it really was this Alchemist.

"(He died and came to hell? How does he know about me!?)" (I)

In my memories, he never saw my face and even if he did, I no longer look like I did in the past, how could he recognize me?

As I fought with him I noticed more creatures gathering in the distance, I couldn't continue with that, so I waited a few seconds for an opportunity to get behind him after one of his blows and broke his spine in two places before pulling him to him while clamping my teeth into your flesh to devour all the blood in your body.

"TO DIE!!!!"

"To die!!!"

"To die..."

"..."

Soon he stops fighting and I throw his body aside before running, but I still notice a red cloud of monsters coming towards me, but I still had a smile on my face as I found the solution to my problem as I realized that my vitality had recovered a little just as my Demonic energy had grown.

"I think I really am in Hell, a place that brings out the worst in people." (I)

I knew I couldn't run forever, running away wouldn't be a solution and the number of creatures chasing me only seems to grow, the more I run the worse it gets and that's why I stop while facing the enemies, I need to get rid of them in one go once and for all.

"No more running away!" (I)
