Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1334 - 1268: Life Exchange
The group hurriedly drank Miyamoto Musashi’s potion, wanting to rush towards Hell’s Gate.
Yet the Spirit Demon still stood in place, staring intently at Huang Yi, fists clenched, veins bulging.
He hadn’t yet shown his true strength, hadn’t had a chance to formally confront Huang Yi, and simply leaving like this was truly unwilling.
Miyamoto Musashi patted the Spirit Demon’s shoulder, saying, "Hold on a bit longer! We can’t stay here, or we’ll all be poisoned to death! The God of Slaughter and the Second World will die together, no need to waste time with him."
"Indeed! Besides, their reinforcements are here!" T.N.T suddenly pointed to the black ocean at the foot of the mountain.
The group turned their heads to look, seeing a ship rapidly braving the waves within the black ocean at the mountain’s foot—it was none other than the Thunder God’s Ancient Godship!
The Spirit Demon gritted his teeth, shot a glance at Huang Yi, then beckoned with his hand.
The next moment, the Demon God phantom that was slaughtering the Temple Knights suddenly rapidly returned, transforming into a blurry image floating behind the Spirit Demon, once again adopting a sky-supporting gesture.
This was a defensive measure of the Demon God phantom, capable of producing a transparent invisible barrier to protect the group.
Afterward, the Spirit Demon and the group quickly moved towards Hell’s Gate.
Huang Yi calmly watched the Spirit Demon and the others advance, without taking action to stop them, as he was not confident in being able to keep the Spirit Demon and the others here. Both sides were merely probing each other with attacks just now, neither exerted their true strength.
More importantly, he did not want to waste time on this purgatory’s outskirts; he too wanted to quickly enter Purgatory Mountain to catch up with the Heavenly Demon. Before catching up with the Heavenly Demon, any combat holds no strategic meaning.
"God of Slaughter, don’t you have the ability to instakill a player directly? Why not use it?" At this moment, next to Huang Yi, Abigail asked, watching the Spirit Demon and others retreat.
"I can’t use it right now." Huang Yi replied. Abigail was referring to his Name Bestowing Skill [Instakill]. Previously, this method once shocked the entire world and was mistaken by many to be using an instant-kill potion. But this skill had been used in the battle to eradicate the Half-Beast Holy Land, and now it hasn’t surpassed the 100-day cooldown period.
Soon, the Spirit Demon and the others arrived before the towering Hell’s Gate. The Spirit Demon stepped forward, extending his hand to push the gate.
"Boom~" Hell’s Gate emitted a thunderous rumbling, slowly opening, revealing a gap.
Through the gap, one could see inside a red glow, vaguely emanating countless soul shrieks, hazy and eerie, as if connected to another evil world.
The Spirit Demon was the first to squeeze through the gate gap, followed by the others who squeezed in one after another, ultimately disappearing into Hell’s Gate.
When the last person entered, Hell’s Gate slowly closed again, sealing the gap, once more isolating that eerie world.
Soon, Huang Yi and Abigail also returned to the group’s side.
"According to the Leader of the Temple Knights, since the Spirit Demon and others entered Hell’s Gate without going through the Assassin’s purification, isn’t it like sending themselves to death?" The Heavenly Dao gazed at the Hell’s Gate, frowning slightly.
"They must have a reliance! Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so presumptuous. Either the Seven Archdemons gave them some life-saving treasure, or the Heavenly Demon previously left them a safe shortcut." Huang Yi speculated.
Abigail also focused at the Hell’s Gate, solemnly saying, "Actually, the Spirit Demon’s own strength is already qualified to forcibly enter Hell. If he hadn’t feared the God of Slaughter’s Kiss of Death’s potion and had displayed his true strength to battle us, we wouldn’t yet know the outcome. Moreover, the Demon God phantom behind him is a Residual Soul of a Deity, even in the more dangerous Inferno, there aren’t many Deity souls. The souls in purgatory sensing its aura would avoid them instead of seeking trouble."
"I’ll fetch them over!" After saying this, Huang Yi immediately requested several armors from the Temple Knight, personally returning to the foot of Purgatory Mountain to escort Thunder God’s team, Dragon Spike, Little Rascal, Fuchan Fenrao, Kid, Dante to Hell’s Gate.
Now, this team was finally complete.
With the exception of the Poet, there were a total of eleven Super First-Class Masters, almost half of all Super First-Class Masters worldwide.
They would represent the entire Second World, entering Hell’s Gate to pursue the Heavenly Demon, vying for the opportunity to be the first to reach the mountain’s summit.
"Kid, can you resurrect the Assassin? It’s up to you!" After the group reached the Assassin’s corpse again, Huang Yi turned to Kid.
Kid nodded, immediately squatting down, solemnly uncovering the cloak placed over the Assassin’s corpse by the Leader of the Temple Knights, and began examining the corpse closely.
He felt every part of the body, inspecting each wound, like a forensic scientist examining a victim’s corpse, with a face full of concentration.
Gradually, Kid’s expression became serious, eventually he clapped his hands, stood up, shaking his head, saying, "If the time since his death wasn’t long, I might have a way, but he has already died for too long, there’s no way to resurrect him!"
Huang Yi sighed. Actually, the Thunder God’s Divine Artifact Skill, and his sister Xiao Chunzi could both resurrect NPCs, but they all faced the same problem as Kid—that they could only resurrect NPCs who had died recently, if too much time had passed, then it was impossible.
"Actually, it’s not entirely impossible to resurrect, unless..." At this time, Kid suddenly spoke again, with some hesitance in his tone.
"Unless what?" The Thunder God quickly asked.
"Unless someone is willing to sacrifice themselves!" Kid said, turning to look at everyone, "Life, in essence, is a kind of cost that can be exchanged. If someone is willing to sacrifice themselves, I can cast the God of Life’s forbidden curse [Life Exchange] to swap your life states, the Assassin could be resurrected again, but the sacrificer would permanently die, unable to be resurrected by any means! It’s exchanging life for life, requiring someone to die permanently."
When these words fell, everyone present remained silent!
These Super First-Class Masters, like Huang Yi and the others, value life greatly. If they were to die once, it could be accepted, but permanent death, without any chance of resurrection, is not acceptable.
This kind of cost is more terrifying than reincarnation, as reincarnation at least allows for resurrection.
"I am willing to sacrifice myself!" At this moment, a voice full of righteousness sounded.
Everyone turned around, instantly seeing the leader of the Temple Knights with a resolute expression.
