Gods’ Impact Online - Chapter 410 409- Bandit Demons

When Zach reached the gates of the middle area of the hell, he saw a few guards guarding the entrance.

“Finally, I saw someone after walking for minutes!” Zach rushed to them and yelled, “Yo! Working hard, huh?”

The guards to Zach while stomping their spears on the ground.

“Who are you?” one guard asked.

There were five guards, and all of them were twice Zach’s height.

“I just want to pass through the gates. You can open it nicely, or I will have to break it, and you will have to repair it later,” Zach responded nonchalantly.

“Heh!” the second guard glanced at the third guard and snickered. “He says he wants to pass through the gates!”

“Yeah!”

“…”

“Should we tell him where he is?” the fourth guard uttered.

“No need. A lost soul must have ended up in this part of hell somehow. We will feed on it now!” the fifth guard declared.

“And here I thought you guys would have brains, but it seems demons’ stupidity is on a whole other level.”

Zach showed his demonic eyes to the demons, and they instantly fell to their knees.

“See? It wasn’t that hard.”

Demonic eyes were like a status symbol for power in hell. It was a rare occurrence for someone to have demonic eyes, and those who didn’t were bound to be scared of the ones above them.

Only a few royal and noble demons had demonic eyes, which they acquired after years of practice.

“We apologize for our actions. If you had told us that you possess demonic eyes, we wouldn’t have ever even looked at you!”

“Please forgive us! We will do anything to get your forgiveness.”

“I don’t have time to waste for the likes of you. Just open the gate and let me pass.”

“Yes, of course!”

The guards opened the gate and immediately kneeled down afterward.

“Please be careful. You are entering middle hell. While you may be strong, the demons living inside are barbaric. They will stop at nothing until their target has been eaten by their hounds.”

“Oh? Thanks for the information. I was actually going to kill you all, but now I have decided to spare your worthless lives since you gave me a heads up.”

Zach casually passed through the gate and entered middle hell. eevl.

“I heard about it, but it actually looks completely different from outer hell.”<novelnext> </novelnext>

There were seven hells that were in an entirely different locations away from each other. But they were connected through a portal that could only be accessed by the most powerful ones.

Therefore, the ruler of the first hell couldn’t enter the second hell, and the ruler of the second hell couldn’t enter the third hell. However, the ruler of the higher hell could quickly enter the lower hell whenever they wanted.

And the ruler of the said lower hell had no other choice but to bow down before the strong ones.

Each hell was divided into three parts. Outer hell, middle hell, and inner hell.

Outer hell was for the weak demons, but it was empty when Zach passed through it because all of the citizens of the outer hell had died in the demon invasion.

The middle hell had strong demons, but not strong enough to be called the high demons. While the innermost hell was where the strongest demons resided.

The archdemons and high demons protected the demon king in the inner hell, and that’s where Zach wanted to go.

He had already been planning to go to hell for a while after the demon invasion, but he didn’t have a reason to make that his priority as the crack to hell had already been closed. However, after meeting the Overlord, everything changed.

Undoubtedly, the Overlord was more potent than Zach, and there was no way Zach could defeat him even if he used his blessings right. After all, the Overlord was Zach’s future self, who was more experienced than him in everything.

He knew how to use his blessings properly, and he had much more fighting experience and knowledge than Zach. However, the Overlord was worried about one thing— which he kept mentioning to Zach again and again— and that was his demonic powers.

‘The way he mentioned it, it seemed as though he didn’t know how to use the demonic powers— no, he knew how to use them. Otherwise, he would have the anti-demon elixir or whatever he used on me that day.

Could it be that he knows about the blessings but can’t use them for some reason? He kept calling me a monster and all that, so now I will give him what he wants. I will learn to be more like a demon.”

“And what could be a better place than hell?”

Zach walked through the hallway to the middle hell after passing through the gates. After walking for a while, Zach finally encountered the middle-rank demons who had ambushed him from all the sides, or they were trying to.

The atmosphere of the middle hell reminded Rudy of the secret boss dungeon, where Rudy met Cerberus after passing through the river of lava and a bridge. Surprisingly, at that time, too, he was a target of assassinations.

CLAP! CLAP!

Rudy clapped his hands to let the demons know that he was aware of their presence.

“You call that an ambush?!” Zach sneered and said, “You should work better on it because it didn’t work. If it was me in your stead, I would have died from embarrassment. You all are a failure!”

Dozens of demons jumped in front of Zach and surrounded him from all sides.

“I am about to reach the main middle hell, but I ran into you bandit demons.” Zach stretched his hands in the air and said, “I am confused. Should I call you all brave because you tried to ambush me, or should I call you stupid because you tried to ambush me?

Nevertheless, is everyone in the middle hell like you, or are you just some outcast?” he scoffed.

Zach beckoned them and asserted, “I hope you give me a good fight. Don’t disappoint me, demons!”
