Chapter 283: Away From Hell
[Hellish Dark Blade retrieved]
I held the massive sword, smiling at myself and feeling quite relieved and proud that I made it just in time.
[Hellish Dark Blade]
[Additional Information]
A weapon formed from the darkness that sprawls across hell. Forged by Thanur the great forge, and Exexeis the engulfing darkness, this blade was crafted to kill anything, God, man, elf, even the nonliving. Strike fear in the hearts of men, and follow its will.

[You have completed two of three trials of the special event]
I deposited the blade into my personal space, feeling quite glad that I had an overpowered weapon in my hands.
Suddenly, I felt a warm white light bathe me. I didn't sense any harm from it, but I still was utterly confused.
Then, my body started crumbling, breaking into minute blocks that disappeared elsewhere.
"What the…"
And suddenly I was gone.
The warm light lifted to the red skies of hell, illuminating it and capturing the attention of the residents.
Isabella looked up, smiling at the light. It had been ages since she had one across her face, and the last one she had was one made in the act of evil, nothing of which she was engaging now.
The glowing hot tattoo around her neck died.
"I knew you didn't belong here."
The people's eyes were lit, and even the various hell guards had their attention caught by the light, until it disappeared, and the ground began to quake.
The column down darkened, its light and flames stolen, and it crumbled, breaking down. The structures around it, the ground, all caved in, and a number of netizens were caught in the rubble, many falling to their doom.
Fortunately, Isabella was able to escape from the destruction.
Finally, the crumbling subsided, and it seemed that all would be fine, until black things streamed out of the rubble.
A sea of them. They were like ants, except a thousand times vicious looking.
There was a very red glow to them, with aglow marks all around them, especially at their abdomen.
Everyone that saw them at that moment could tell that they were bad news.
They crept forward swiftly and in unison, and it was like a sea of black and red surged and threatened to swallow them all.
"Run!" Someone cried, and everyone made a run for it, knowing that hell had only gotten tougher with these creatures' arrival.
"You have doomed us all." Isabella cried.
*****
My body materialized into existence in a place that was alien to me, and just as jarring as hell had been.
The clouds, if they were clouds, looked broken and glassy, and they were purple. They moved ever so slightly, and there was harmony to them. Find your next adventure on empire
The expanse about me was just as alien. The surface I stood on was glassy, and smooth, just like ice. It was a deep purple however, just like the crystals that hovered above–in place of clouds.
"Hmmm…" I awaited the next trial.
The expanse went far, and around me, clustered and packed were those crystals above. They zoomed about me, hitting me then bouncing off.
They were everywhere, practically taking up all my field of vision. When I swung my head to move them away, they moved in response to my arm, moving from where my arm was to hit.
I headbutted the bunch that were just by my head, and they too zoomed back, avoiding my head butt.
They did move to me however, and they were very cool to the touch.

[Time remaining to complete trial: 30 minutes]
"Huhh?"
Suddenly, I felt a presence. A chilling and powerful one and I heard a howling sound that came from the swinging of some object.
"What is going on?" My vision was taken up by the clusters of hovering purple crystals.
I activated Absolute Appraisal, and I got a tag.

'A rather sad tale. Do no fret, I will put you out of your misery.'
I readied myself. I was low on energy and I lacked an energy rejuvenation elixir, making me quite inhibited in this fight, yet, I was certain I was going to be victorious.
"Let's see the fat oaf."
It was like my words struck a nerve as it rushed at me with a guttural roar, ripples spreading across the surface that hosted us.
I got a clean look of it as It stormed forward. He must have scared the crystals as they cleared the path for him.
The sentry was a massive thing mostly clad in grey faded armour, with fat skin spilling out of the holes in the armour.
About five times my size, and three times my height, it held a massive hammer in those large hands, and without hesitation, it zoomed to me–incredibly fast for one of its size, and swung.
I ducked, and it spun the bottom of the club to hit me. I backflipped, narrowly escaping the strike. The hammer was much longer than I had expected, and the bottom caught my hair.
I landed when a bludgeoning force struck my left flank, and a heard a "Yaa!"
I flung backwards, and I lost control over my body.
That attack had struck me firmly, I wasn't just going to brush it off.
Then, it covered the distance between us in an instant and again it struck–two strikes to my torso, and that was it.
