久久一本通凹凸一道久视

Although the undead trent had a lot of health, it didn\'t last long while being damaged by Leon\'s attacks. The combination of Flamethrower and Thunder Ray turned the monster into charcoal in a matter of seconds… like always, the beast didn\'t drop anything.

Leon approached the crystal, but then hesitated a little bit. The other side of the crystal was another world, and the world as a whole was the enemy territory. Leon managed to defeat the angels and harvesters using a few tricks and thanks to the unexpected power of plasma. However, he still wasn\'t sure if any of those would be helpful against a being that was another level above his previous enemies.

Although he was already ready, Leon checked his gear one more time. On his head he had his sturdy helmet, Leon doubted that it would be useful elementally speaking, at least it would increase his defense. On his back, Leon had the aquatic mithril guard, and inside of it, it was a soul eater. Unless the enemy destroys the shield, he wouldn\'t see why Leon\'s mana wasn\'t decreasing past a certain level.

On his left hand, Leon had the ice fury, his best magic staff. Although he didn\'t plan on using Ice Meteor, the status bonuses would be useful. Finally, on his right hand, there was the holy sword he got from Malahk… the weapon Leon intended to use to defeat the monster. Leon breathed deeply again to calm his nerves, and then suddenly, he touched the crystal.

The next moment, Leon appeared on the other side. He hopes to analyze the terrain as fast as possible and also locate his target before he is attacked… but he didn\'t see anything.

"What the…"

Leon felt like his eyes were closed, that was the only explanation, but after blinking several times, he confirmed that wasn\'t the case. He stomped on the ground and confirmed that there was land under him... it was hard to be sure, but it looked like he was on an arid area since, by the sound, Leon concluded that he was in a desertic area.

"You have come…" The shadowy figure said. "You have guts, boy… you could have become a very useful minion…"

Instead of answering, Leon used Sword of Light toward the direction the voice came from. Even though seventeen beams of light flew toward that direction, Leon didn\'t hear anything being hit by it… Even though such an attack was supposed to illuminate the place, it didn\'t dispel the shadows even a bit.

"The hell is going on…"

Leon created a Fireball, but again… nothing happened. Leon could see the Fireball, but he couldn\'t see anything being illuminated by it. Come to think of it, Leon couldn\'t feel any presence nearby either… the voice of the shadowy figure was close, but at the same time, the creature wasn\'t.

"You have made nice preparations…" The shadowy figure said. "You even managed to obtain a Soul Eater… Still, it is too early for you…"

"Show yourself, and let\'s fight…" Leon said. "I promise I won\'t hurt you too much."

"You are brave, boy���" The shadowy figure laughed. "This wouldn\'t be a fight… I can see that you won\'t become my minion, but it is too soon for you to become an enemy. Killing you here would be too easy, and I wouldn\'t obtain anything from it."

"I see, you want a good fight, huh?" Leon asked. "So, what are you going to do? I think it would be very convenient for you if I return to Earth, I would have plenty of time to get stronger there thanks to time dilation."

"Hahaha, nice try, boy," The shadowy figure laughed. "Giving you time wouldn\'t be enough to make you stronger. You need to feel true despair to become strong enough to entertain me… you will soon learn that one year in hell will make you much stronger than one thousand years on Earth."

"… Come on, man… let\'s fight," Leon said, nervously.

Before Leon could keep taunting the shadowy figure, he felt his equipment being pulled by something. It was Telekinesis, and he couldn\'t counter even when he used his own Telekinesis and Electric Armor… Leon lost every single of his items, even his magic box, and Soul Eater. His struggle didn\'t last even a second… Leon felt powerless like a newborn baby.

"You have got to be kidding me…"

Before Leon could notice, he had been teleported to another place. If he couldn\'t see the things on the shadowy figure world, Leon now could see things way too well. At first, Leon thought that he was seeing an illusion since everything around him was red or orange, but the crazy heat and stagnated air proved that he wasn\'t wrong.

"The hell is this…"

Leon was inside a cave, and below him, he could see a river of magma. Leon didn\'t know how, but the rocks and walls around absorbed so much heat that they were also emitting heat and make Leon feel as if he was indeed in hell. Leon looked around and found a single path leading to his front, on his back, he only saw a dead-end.

"Son of… a bitch…" Leon coughs incessantly. "Did that bastard really teleport me to hell?"

It was difficult to know if the creature used a figure of speech or not, all that Leon knew was that he was in a hellish hot place. Before he could even start to move, three creatures left the river of magma and flew toward him. They were pretty fast and had humanoid shapes… more important than that, they were made of magma. Leon tried to stop them using Ice Beam, but his spell had become a lot weaker than he recalled… it was because he lost all his items.

"Shit… I lost my items, and even the environment is decreasing the power of ice spells…"
