Chapter 50: Azazel, the Leviticus Demon
It took them 30 minutes to defeat Aamon, the Grand Marquis of Hell at record time, progressing to the 2nd floor of Demon’s Tower.
Against Lilith, the Demoness of Night and the hidden boss, Magoth, the Duke of Hell, they took longer time to clear the 2nd floor, approximately 45 minutes.
It was almost the same time that the current record holder of Demon Tower’s dungeon, one of the raid parties of the big guilds had.
But considering that Noah and his teammates took on this 2nd floor on Hell Mode, theirs was even more impressive.
And then, they progressed.
The gateway to the 3rd floor loomed before them, a towering construct of blackened iron and molten runes, pulsating like a living thing.
Unlike the eerie, shifting veil that led to Lilith’s realm, this entrance was solid, industrial, an engineered masterpiece of demonic craftsmanship.
The double doors stood thirty feet high, each side adorned with intricate engravings of suffering souls, their forms twisting and writhing within the metal itself. The centerpiece was a massive, glowing sigil inscribed in demonic scripture, radiating a searing, blood-red light.
Gears clanked within the walls, the sound echoing through the chamber as if the entire tower was adjusting itself for the next trial.
The scent of burnt metal and sulfur thickened, filling their lungs with an oppressive heat even as it gave a hint to the Demon Lord that resided higher up.
At that moment, a deep mechanical voice rumbled from the gate itself, emotionless yet filled with authority.
