"My head hurts..." Rozan leaned on Gunnar's left shoulder. "Using my Brainstorm skill really not the play back there," Rozan continued.
[Brainstorm] skill was a skill that belonged to Zeus, and it made Rozan able to think faster while at the same time increasing his mental capability. That helped to increase his magic power and allowed him to control his [Telekinesis] power to its fullest potential. In exchange, after the usage of the skill, his head would take all the after-effects of the magic and skills he used during the brainstorming.
"You should rest. You saved us back there," Jeanne said as she walked next to him.
"Demon King satan is immune to magic anyway, so you should be able to rest and don't have to do anything," Aurea explained and walked the endless hallway.
"Is that so? I'm so glad to hear that," Rozan could barely open his eyes and then collapsed, but Gunnar grabbed his body and carried him on his back.
"So, Aurea. This Demon King Satan. Is he one of the holders?" Sven asked.
"Yes, he's the holder of the Sin of Wrath. The angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes, and he's the only Demon King that could be on par with Lucifer himself if he's started to get angry," Aurea explained and nodded her head.
Everyone went quiet and didn't know if they could fight him even with the new skills they got from wishing to the Constellations. Aurea and Jeanne knew it would be an impossible battle for them, and with Rozan in that condition, it would only slow them down inside the tower. Not only him, everyone felt exhausted because of that useless puzzle they had to do and wasted three days.
"All of you go and rest in the hotel," Jeanne said.
They look at Jeanne with confused looks.
"What do you mean? We don't have much time left before the next breakout. We have to clear the rest of them since we promised Mykel," Vincze asked.
"I know, that's why this time Aurea and I will fight Satan. You guys can skip on this one and rest for the next tower. Just rest and we shouldn't be taking that long," Jeanne looked at Aurea, and then Aurea nodded in agreement.
"The next tower after Satan is Mammon, right? Is he also one of the holders?" Lillith asked Aurea.
"Yes, the Sin of Greed, but he's the weakest compared to the other Demon Kings, so that shouldn't be a problem," Aurea answered.
"I guess we should rest. Even if we lost a single reward, we can ask Mykel for more since he's basically the boss of the Constellations," Sven said as he cracked his neck. "We said that we are going to clear all the towers, but we never told him that we should be the ones who cleared it," Sven continued.
Gerrard, Nagy, and Vincze nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright, since it has been decided, we both are going to the Satan Tower now," Jeanne looked at them and then left the tower with Aurea.
After an hour of riding a bullet train, they both reached District 10. They both went inside the Satan Tower without anyone realizing that they were trying to clear the tower.
"Do you think we can kill him?" Jeanne asked.
"Are you seriously asking me that? You possess the power of the eldest brother of Lucifer, and you're still asking me if we can kill him? I don't even think I'm needed here since you can easily blast him with your divine blast and obliterate him," Aurea chuckled as she shook her head.
"You're not wrong, but I was thinking that you should be the one to fight him since you looked so excited when you said the next Demon King we are going to face is Satan. You want to kill him with your own hands, right?" Jeanne looked at Aurea walking next to her.
"Hah... I think I fall in love with you, Jeanne," Aurea wrapped her left arm around Jeanne's neck. "Of course, I want to fight him. This is my only chance to fight the strongest Demon King in terms of strength! I want to fight him and butchered him, humiliate him, spit on his fucking face!" Aurea's eyes were filled with excitement.
"After listening to that, I don't think I can accept your feeling," Jeanne answered.
They both looked at each other and started chuckling and laughing as they opened the door to the ninetieth floor.
They both flew right into the castle where they defeated Lilith and entered the red portal to the hundred-first floor. Jeanne was taken aback when she saw people being tortured and fed to demons. It was something that Jeanne would imagine if someone asked what hell looked like.
"You said I'm going to this tower on my own, right?" Aurea walked to the front. "Then there's no need to waste time," Aurea continued and used the [Soul Siphon] skill.
All the demons, the tortured souls were sucked into Aurea's body like it was nothing. There was not a single soul that got left behind, all of them were inside her body. They both then entered the city-like area and saw demons killing each other.
"The City of Hell, the only place for these demons. They're all great demons, and they're only one level below Archdemon, so they're really powerful," Aurea said as she took every single soul inside the City of Hell.
"A great demon? If they're really that powerful, then what's a Demon Lord's race?" Jeanne asked.
Aurea stopped and turned around. "They're also great demons. So basically this whole city is filled with fearless demons that are equal to Demon Lords," Aurea answered and looked Jeanne in the eye. "But they're not interested in becoming a Demon Lord. They're interested in becoming a Demon King and tried to defeat Satan so they can take the throne from him," Aurea explained.
Jeanne was curious about who Demon King Satan was, and why he had such a powerful army of demons under his command. She then looked around and realized there was no castle, no mansion, and it was just weird looking buildings around her.
"There's no castle or any tall building, so where is he?" Jeanne asked.
"Ah, he's not like any other Demon King, he didn't care about all those glamorous stuff. He's a Demon King that would make himself vulnerable from these Great Demons so he could fight and kill them to show who he truly is," Aurea answered as she kept walking. "Where do you think he would be if he wanted to be seen by demons?" Aurea asked and looked at Jeanne.
"I don't know. A castle should be the easiest way to tell where the strongest being in the area is," Jeanne answered.
"You're not wrong, but not in here. The further you go, the closer you are to the center of the city. There are five circles in this city of hell, and each circle is to create a gap between the strongest and the weakest. So the closer we are to the center, we will find him and all the strongest Great Demons that are going to challenge him," Aurea explained.
"So he's a muscle head?" Jeanne asked.
"No, he's the most ruthless Demon King that ever existed. He's the most feared Demon Kings compared to the others," Aurea answered as she unsheathed her sword. "And since a new challenger has come, these Greater Demons are attracted to bully the new kid. So, why don't you stay back and enjoy the show?" Aurea asked as she looked at the demons coming toward her.
Jeanne took a few steps back and let Aurea enjoy her massacre.
It was as Aurea said, those Great Demons didn't fear her, unlike the demons they had met on the eightieth floor and below where they would tremble in fear when they saw Jeanne and Aurea. Even though she showed the difference in power, those demons didn't hesitate to attack her since everyone that they were facing was an opportunity to reduce their competitors.
It took Aurea a whole day of fighting nonstop to finally reach the center of the city. Jeanne and Aurea looked at a demon covered in fire and sitting on the throne. His whole body was dark like a burned tree, but Jeanne could tell his body was so sturdy and his sharp claws might be able to scratch an Empyrium Steel. His six red bat wings were covered in flames as well, and with every step he took, he left a trail of fire.
"Who do you think will win, Jeanne? A Brute or a Wrath?" Aurea asked.
"I guess the answer would be the one who can still stand," Jeanne answered.
"You're not wrong," Aurea smiled. "Here, take my sword. I'm going to fight him with my bare hands," Aurea tossed her sword at Jeanne.
