THE CRUST OF EIROT'S HELL REALM
"How do we do that?" I asked him.
"I don't know", Alfred replied to me.
"Wait, I have an idea", Eirot said to us.
"What idea, please say, my shields are breaking up", I told her.
"I have a Hell in my soul, does that count?" Eirot asked Alfred.
Eirot was born with a unique soul realm that replicated the realm of Hell inside. That was the reason she could harbor demons inside her soul realm like her Hellhounds.
Eirot suddenly cast open a fracture in the sky in the form of a cross. To our surprise, within the cross fracture was the burning Hell, Eirot's soul realm.
"The Crucifix of Damnation"
"This is not possible. How can you cast the Crucifix of Damnation now?" Alfred asked Eirot in shock and surprise.
"I don't know. I just know when I think about it", Eirot replied to him.
Suddenly, the fiery Core of Suffering inside the Pool of Suffering ascended into the sky and entered Eirot's Crucifix. Once the Core of Suffering was gone, Eirot's Crucifix disappeared and Eirot fell unconscious.
------
Eirot found herself transported to a realm enveloped in infernal flames.
As the flames dimmed, the world around Eirot gradually revealed itself. It was a desolate landscape of ceaseless fire, teeming with countless beings and entities adrift in its fiery expanse.
This was Hell, the domain of eternal damnation where souls found their torment. From the anguish of these damned souls, demons were born, weaving a sinister tapestry within the depths of this fiery abyss.
And within this realm lay Eirot's own soul—a nexus to the very heart of Hell itself.
Amidst the searing heat, a faint silhouette emerged—a sorceress of radiant light who called out to Eirot.
"Daughter, myself, my Incarnate. You have returned to me", a voice said to Eirot.
-----
"Madonna, is that you?" Eirot asked the voice.
"Yes, daughter. You have found me again", Madonna said to her.
"What happened to my soul realm? Why did it become an infernal Hell?" Eirot asked Madonna.
"Your soul realm is a mirror of Hell. What you see is Hell itself", Madonna told her.
"But the place is different from before", Eirot told her.
"There are many layers of Hell. Your view of Hell before was only on its surface. Now your soul has connected to the Crust of Hell", Madonna told Eirot.
"What is the Crust of Hell?" Eirot asked her.
"The Crust of Hell is the furthest layer from the Inner Core of Hell. As your soul delve deeper into Hell, the mysteries of Inferno will be revealed to you", Madonna replied to her.
"Did the absorption of the Core of Suffering from the Pool of Suffering awaken my Hell's Crust?" Eirot asked her.
"Yes, that is the main reason, but it is your fate to unravel the layers of Infernal Hell eventually, although you've done it sooner than even, I expect", Madonna told Eirot.
"What about the magic from the Pool of Suffering?" Eirot asked Madonna.
"Worry not my daughter, once you awakened Hell's Crust in your soul, the magic of the Pool of Suffering and more are accessible to you now", Madonna told her.
"Can I bring my demons into my soul realm anymore? They can't survive in the Crust of Hell," Eirot asked Madonna.
"Daughter, your soul now possesses not only the Crust but all the layers before that, if you focus on it, the surface of Hell will return to your view", Madonna told Eirot.
Suddenly, Eirot was transported again. She returned to her original soul view, and she could see her Hellhounds there roaming around.
"This world has become so much bigger", Eirot said to Madonna about the surface of her realm.
"Yes, with your discovery of the Crust, the surface of your soul improves naturally. Your realm can now support not only the lowly demons, but greater demons too", Madonna told Eirot.
"Really, now all my demons, including Demonlords can harbor inside my soul?" Eirot asked Madonna.
"Yes", she replied to her.
"This is a great improvement and opportunity", Eirot said to herself.
"Remember, as you recover more Cores of Sufferings, your realm will expand and eventually you will awaken additional layers in your Hell", Madonna said to Eirot.
Then Eirot woke up.
------
"What happened to you?" I asked Eirot.
"I've awakened another layer of my Hell realm", she replied to me.
"You awakened the Crust of Hell? Are you really the Savior?" Alfred asked Eirot.
"I've been telling you repeatedly, Eirot is our Savior", Aluva replied to him.
"Then Hell will not be the same again", Alfred said to us with all of his heads speaking at the same time.
"Where are you planning to go next?" I asked Eirot.
"I need to capture the other Pools and obtain their Core of Sufferings", she told me.
"But it won't be easy going around with so many people following you especially the deviants who aren't good in magic", I said to her.
"I can send all my demons into my soul realm, but I can't do so for the girls", she said to me.
"What kind of soul realm do you have? You can harbor demons there other than Hellhounds?" I asked her.
"I've gotten an improvement to my soul realm", she said to me.
"That is good to know, I know of a place that we can settle the girls. They can go to school in Istiopolis city", I told her.
"Istiopolis city? I've not returned there in so many years", Eirot said to me.
"But how are we going to leave Elis with the Apostles guarding the Gate to Elis?" Aluva asked me.
"Well, we make another gate", I told her.
-----
Eirot assembled the deviant girls, the maidservants that we rescued from the Apostles in Elis Monastery.
"Now what are you going to do?" Aluva asked me.
"We return to Nyx kingdom", I told her.
I crushed the artifact that Rinna gave me and cast a spell that connected to the Ziggurat inside my Valhalla Crux. The spell opened a Triangle Stargate before us.
"What is this? Is this a magic portal?" Eirot asked me.
"Let's go", I told her.
Suddenly, Eirot waved her hand and all her demons bowed and knelt before her as they transformed into magic essences that flowed into Eirot's soul realm, her Hell realm.
"Realm of Suffering Souls"
We walked through my conjured Triangle shaped Stargate and reached Istiopolis City.
