Chapter 1679: Devil Earl Furfur

Adrain entered the Devil Castle and could feel the powerful energy of the lightning element surrounding it. The castle itself is also below an everlasting storm cloud that rumbles which is why this devil kingdom is very famous for being loud.  As Adrian walked, he could feel numerous presences gazing upon him, but they were not showing themselves to him.

”They are in lightning form, master. I think that they are quite rude. Should I scare them for you?” Kimat asked as he thinks that his master is being looked down upon because he is not being welcomed.

”You do not need to do that, Kimat. I can do well on my own even without their help. I can see the powerful soul located at the middle of the castle after all.” Adrian replied.

Adrian could see the spiritual forms of the devils in the castle as he passed through. The devils thought that Adrian could not see them, but a shiver ran down their spine when the latter suddenly stopped and stared at them. Adrian made sure to exert a lot of his Asmodian Aura on that stare to scare off the devils that thinking that he is a pushover.

The devils could feel a powerful overbearing pressure suddenly wash over them which made them flee from the center of the castle. They were already told that they should not bother the guest and that they should not come to the middle of the castle. The Great Earl of Hell Furfur has declared that this guest is someone that they should not mess with.

Adrian arrived at the center of the castle where the audience hall of the castle is located. The floor itself looked like it was made of dark clouds, but Adrian does not know if they are real or an illusion. Adrian is currently still floating about using his cloak.

”Greetings, Champion Equinox.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated in his voice that Adrian heard from the entrance.

Adrian could see a dark cloud descending upon the audience room as it landed on a throne. The Great Earl of Hell Furfur started to slowly materialize from the dark clouds that fell down. Adrian is a bit shocked because the Great Earl of Hell Furfur looks quite human in appearance but with devil horns and a devil tail.

”You seemed surprised, Champion Equinox.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”I am a little bit as you look humanoid. The devil nobility that I encountered earlier was not full-on human in appearance.” Adrian stated truthfully.

”You mean you want this form?” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated as he suddenly transformed into a dark storm cloud once again.

When the dark storm cloud vanished, the Great Earl of Hell Furfur changed his form to a more monstrous look. The Great Earl of Hell Furfur had the torso of a man, the head of a stag, the lower body of a stag and bat wings behind him. He looked nothing like his humanoid form earlier.

”Whatever form you want to take is not a problem for me. I am just thinking about how it might be quite stuffy for you to look humanoid in appearance.” Adrian stated as he knows that polymorphs are not necessarily comfortable.

”Fret not, Champion Equinox. I know that you are also being sealed right now as that is not your true form. That is merely a shell that the world has imposed on you as your true form is not something the current world can handle. I should say that your current form is an extremely watered down version of your true self.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

Adrian did not refute the words of the Great Earl of Hell Furfur as he was exactly correct. Adrianʼs current body is being sealed as his true form is too great to handle. His true form is also something that is limited to the area where his domain is active.

”Since you have no problem with it, I shall resume talking with you in the humanoid form I have carefully crafted.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated as he transformed back to a more human looking form.

”Why have you called me here exactly? Is it related to the Tainted Storm Core?” Adrian asked directly as he knows that devils need to be straightforwardly handled.

One of the most sure-fire ways to handle devils that easily twist their words is to go at them in a straightforward manner. Devils would often lead you astray when it comes to verbal communication which is why one must take a stand immediately. Adrian immediately stated all of his queries before the Great Earl of Hell Furfur could lead the conversation.

”A bit straightforward but what you said is correct.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated as he smiled a little.

The Great Earl of Hell Furfur then created a dark storm cloud which transformed into a screen of some sort. The screen then turned into the Tainted Storm Core which Adrian has in his inventory. It seems that the Great Earl of Hell Furfur will start his explanation of the item in question.

”You have the Tainted Storm Core which is the entrance item to the hidden dungeon in my devil kingdom. Of course, I would need to purify it in order for you to enter the hidden dungeon. That specific miasma is something that only comes out of my territory after all.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”Why is it tainted with devil miasma anyway?” Adrian asked as he thought that it would have been more useful if it was ready to use immediately.

”It is like that because the hidden dungeon is something created by our devil god counterpart after all. It is also serves as our way of seeing what the challenger looks like.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”Challenger? What do you mean by you need to know what the challenger looks like?” Adrian asked as he knows that statement was not meant for someone diving inside of a dungeon.

”If you are able to clear the hidden dungeon then you will be granted a special item that you can use to challenge the reigning devil nobility of that specific kingdom. There are no other ways to challenge the reigning devil nobility other than that.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”Why would I do that when it is troublesome?” Adrian stated.

”If you do not want an item from the vaults of the Seven Original Devils then you can not use the special item to invoke a challenge. Each challenge is not necessarily a fight as one would just need to defeat the devil nobility on the chosen mode of fight that they want.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur answered.

”So… it is more in line to say that it is seventy-two trials.” Adrian stated to which the Great Earl of Hell Furfur nodded.

”It is not just a right to pick a treasure from the Seven Original Devils that is up for the taking. If one conquers all seventy-two hidden dungeons, then they would also attain the Right to Challenge the Seven Original Devils.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”What can I get upon defeating them?” Adrian asked as he was now curious.

Adrian might have only heard it now but the fact that one can challenge the most powerful of the devils means that something is up for grabs. He knows that something almost game breaking is the reward if one were to defeat the Seven Original Devils.

”You have that mark on your left hand, right? That is a mark that was given by the Seven Original Devils. You would have the permanent effect of that mark should you be able to defeat all of them. Of course, it would work anywhere and not just Hell because you basically got blessed by gods at that point.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur stated.

”There might be an added bonus, but I do not know if it is true since no one has yet to defeat the Seven Original Devils in combat.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur added.

Adrian suddenly thought of the possibility of having all those buffs given back to him on a permanent basis. He would become unstoppable to any player that is at his level range if that were to be true. Still, the permanent Mark of the Seven Original Sins is extremely tempting even if Adrian finds it bothersome.

”It is a great reward but the way to get it is not easy. One would need to clear seventy-two hidden dungeons. The second step would be to defeat the seven two reigning devil nobility in their chosen mode of combat. The last step would be to defeat the Seven Original Sins in combat which is basically fighting gods.” Adrian muttered.

”Let me tell you a hidden fact since I like you very much. The hidden dungeons and your fights with us are all tailored to your level.” The Great Earl of Hell Furfur added.
