Chapter 97: Caleb’s trial; the covenant of Hell’s Key
After conquering Demon’s Tower at Hell Mode, Caleb got the least personal rewards since he was the only one in the group to not get at least an S-ranked unique skill, only getting an A-ranked one.
As if to compensate for this, among the drop rewards that they got after defeating Asmodeus, the King of Hell, there was an S-Ranked item that fit Caleb’s class, Hell’s Key.
Till date since getting the overpowered item, Caleb only used it in dungeons where others were not watching.
He didn’t even use it during the battle of the Canyon of Ruins.
This was because unlike the others who recklessly revealed their unique skills and trump cards, Caleb calculated ahead for their debut in the pro scene. A trump card becomes half of a trump card once the whole world knows about it.
This was why he kept Hell’s Key a secret, and now, it was time to level it up.
The moment Caleb activated the level-up test for Hell’s Key, the world shattered around him.
A crimson void stretched infinitely in all directions, an endless abyss of chains and fire. And then, a throne emerged.
Atop the throne sat a shadowed figure, its form obscured by flowing chains and infernal flames. Only its piercing golden eyes shone through the darkness.
"A mortal dares claim dominion over Hell?" The figure’s voice was deep, unamused, and laced with power. "Very well. Let us see if you are worthy".
The chains rattled. The flames roared.
