The 6th layer was meant to stop you and torture your sense of being with the stopped time.You could look around and see, but you couldn't say anything, do anything, or hear anything.There was also the fact that your body's built-in time clock would be thrown in disarray from the stopped time in this layer.I could feel that this could be considered a relatively high level of mental torture.It started slowly initially, but the more you stood there, waiting for something to happen, the more maddening it would be.Imagine standing still, unable to move, but, still being perceptive of your surroundings, watching them be immobile for an unknown amount of time.The torture would turn anyone insane.Fortunately, even though my movements were remarkably restrained, I was still able to move through the stopped-time environment as I had an expanding amount of knowledge about the time law that was governing this hell layer.The more I moved through the restricted area, the more I understood..
The worm-like creature was very deferential to me, but I knew it was most likely thinking about a plan to escape or injure me somehow. It couldn't hide its intentions through its slimy eyes.I grasped the creature by its neck as I didn't have the time nor the mood to interrogate it.I decided to go with a direct approach, immediately dominating its lesser will and transforming it into a slave, where I could get an immediate reading of his memories.The being's memories weren't very long, and they didn't contain much information, but they did contain the current situation of the 8th layer.This area was one of the 2 battlefields on which the sins were fighting to ascend to the surface.The 9th and 8th battlefields contained the sins and their armies who were currently fighting the combined tortures and they had the full focus of the law enforcers that hell had created.They were the law-based beings that had two missions, make sure that the tortures were applied properly, and make sure
My target didn't know that I was stalking him from the shadows.I kept my aura hidden to the maximum, making me not much different from a simple tree or a rock in the senses of others.The shadow soldiers scattered around the battlefield dissipated immediately as they returned to my side, transforming into energy that seeped back into my body discreetly. I couldn't hold back anything against the sin-bearing demons. Their strength was high enough to hold back Alliron and Aratas, even though it was a 4v2, it was still impressive!I closed my eyes for a brief second as 5 seconds passed, and the hooded demon attacked Alliron once again, injuring him by piercing the side of his chest and taking out a few ribs.The second that he tried to get back to his allies' sides, I appeared behind him, appearing there directly by moving through the shadow, achieving teleportation!My eyes were peering directly into the demon's, making it widen behind the hood.A dagger made from wood that was encased
Darnioz's ever-increasing body was getting to be a problem, even Alliron and Aratas could barely keep their material forms together as the suction force from Darnioz's body was getting stronger and stronger.Fortunately, the pride and sloth sins hadn't left my grasp after I have crushed the Goat head into minced meat.They were struggling out of my grasp, trying to fly towards Darnioz, seemingly wanting to combine with the other two sins that were existing in his body.But would I let that happen?I shook my head, I looked at the sins and started to crush them in my hands. Unfortunately, there was no effect no matter how much strength or energy I poured into my attempt.I wasn't at the level of strength where I could destroy the accumulated thoughts and feelings of so many people.These sins were powered by the existence of the people on the surface, and they would get stronger accordingly to the actions and thoughts of the aforementioned people.Greed and sloth were two sins that wer
The portal shimmered as three people left it. The first and foremost person was an oni-person with red skin and two muscle-like horns growing out of the sides of his head. He had giant stature of 3+ meters, bulging muscles all over his body, and different types of tattoos, the most glaring one being the decapitated dragon tatoo on his exposed shoulder. He was wearing a white tank top stained with blood that left us to see all of his tattoos and short tattered pants that didn't cover even his knees. His green emerald eyes were trained upon Alliron and Aratas the moment he entered, not even bothering to look at Shira and me, seemingly sensing that Alliron and Aratas were the stronger ones, even though no energy fluctuations came out of their bodies to betray their strength. The 2nd person to enter was a 1,80 tall humanoid with slicked-back green hair that reached his shoulders, his face was the epitome of annoyingness considering how smug he looked, and he had two katanas tied to his
Shira's fighting abilities increased continuously as she fought the pride demon, but there was something weird about him, no matter how better Shira got, there was no sweat on his brow, and his expression remained the same, making him look like he was fully in control of the fight, even though Shira started to land blows on his body using her hybrid form.It was certainly quite strange, especially since the pride demon even decided to sheathe his katanas once again.Shira wasn't sure if he was getting stronger at the same time as she was.So she decided to end the fight between the two of them in one sure strike that would kill the demon instantly!Shira's flaming body flickered constantly as she continuously improved and added new experiences to her fighting style.She even started to change her hybrid transformation, sometimes flicking back to human limbs or phoenix wings to combine certain attacks that enhanced her power and unpredictability.Things seemed to look good for her, but
The oni demon couldn't stretch his head to look at the situation of his allies, but he could sense that their auras had disappeared.The lack of sins that should have converged on his body made the blood vessels on his forehead pop up as the steadily increasing anger in his mind fully exploded at once!His muscles tripled in size as his body grew alongside them to support the new weight.The tattoos on his life were becoming more and more life-like, while Alliron and Aratas couldn't help but look at each other and nod.Now that the other two fights had been finished, they could go full power without the worry of the sins of the other two flying towards the oni demon and powering him up.Alliron stretched his body like a cat would, before the aura around his body changed entirely.Bloody mirages covered his whole body, showing decapitated bodies, sewn corpses to create chimeras and amalgamations of beings, bloody cadavers with missing organs, and many other scientifical experiments tha
The wrath demon was unable to block or dodge the attacks that boxed him in.Aratas's spear made its way between the Oni's legs, hitting him there directly, making him keel in pain as Alliron hit him over the head with a blood hammer from above!I clutched my chest as I felt my new three hearts beating at a rhythm that was in tune with the surroundings.It was almost as if all the previous tortures didn't apply to me anymore as I felt the breath that I took in was rather sweet.No more attacks from the surroundings were being put onto my body and mind, and I could feel that my soul had finally reached a full sin cleansing!I looked down at my hands while everything around me turned to a standstill.Shira was captured in a pose where she was striking the demon's back with her claws, ready to rip out his flesh.While Alliron was now wielding double hammers in his hands, trying to bash in the demon's head with them, just as if he was playing the drum.Lastly, Aratas was focusing on the de
