Satan, it was the name of a prince who guarded the key on the highest floor, which was the 100th floor. He was the one who knew all the things I wanted to know, especially about the promised day, I didn't know if he would say anything about it to me or not, but I hope he tells me.
"Huh."
Rigel sighed.
I don't know how long it will take to get to the 100th floor, but I'm sure it's been over an hour since I teleported!
Even though the internal clock in my head was already useless, yet I had calculated during this teleportation trip to waste time. Then, the time I had calculated right now was more than the previous one as I headed towards the floor where Beelzeebub was.
"Has Azazel's teleportation reached its limit?"
Rigel, speak for yourself.
As if to answer my laxity, this teleportation started to slow down and stopped on a floor that I didn't know about because I didn't count how many floors I had gone through.
"Have I reached the 100th floor?"
Rigel, speak for yourself.
What amazed me was what was in front of me, what kind of place I was in right now. Yellow, there is only yellow as far as the eye can see.
"Well, it's just desert, damn it!"
Rigel yells.
"Why stop at a place like this? Damn it, if you want to stop, then stop in a more lively place."
Rigel, complain.
It seems like I was stranded in this middle of nowhere, I don't even know if this is my destination floor or not. There is only one thing I can do, which is to walk and pass through this stretch of desert.
I could have just marked this place and teleported to Mirai and the others. However, this is my own selfishness, I don't want to involve them anymore because this is something I have to do alone.

THE POV PRISCILLA FLAMESWORD.
"You're finally sober, Priscilla!"
Anastasia said while crying and hugging me.
Not a bad sight to see the first time I opened my eyes. It seemed that I had been unconscious for a few hours thus making Anastasia worry.
"If you're okay here, can I assume that Rigel beat Azazel?"
Asked Priscilla weakly.
Even before Anastasia answered my question, my heart had calmed down as if it already knew the answer. Because after all, the man was very dependable.
"Damn it, I'm right to want to have you, Rigel."
Inner Priscilla.
I just smiled at what appeared inside my head. I can't believe I really loved that guy.
Then, what was unexpected was that Anastasia shook her head in response to my question. My eyes opened wide in surprise, very surprised. Was Rigel defeated by Azazel?! I need to get up and face it.
Before I tried to do or say anything, Anastasia started talking.
"To be honest, I don't know if Azazel has been defeated by Rigel. Over there,"
Say Anastasia while pointing towards the wall that has a large hole.
"How can you?!"
Priscilla's surprised.
How can the pillar that connects this floor with the next floor have a hole this big!
Is this Rigel or Azazel? If it was Rigel, I might know the reason for taking Azazel and fighting off the floor. No, I should be more concerned with the lives of an entire army than the lives of one man.
"What about the other troops?"
Priscilla asked while grunting in pain as she forced her body to stand up.
"Badly, the two higher-ups who were with us earlier had turned into the core of the soul. Then, the higher-ups we left behind are dying, but thanks to the help of the fairies you sent him he was saved. Right now, Mirai is helping to clean up the remaining monsters."
Anastasia answered.
"Oh, yeah."
Priscilla.
It's a pity because we lost two of our higher-ups. This fight will probably be the biggest loss we have ever experienced, I hope not to lose more than this. So, come back safely Rigel.
"Although my body still hurts, I am still strong to fight. Let's go help the other troops and go where Rigel is fighting."
Priscilla.
"Good!"
Reply Anastasia firmly.
I walked outside, where the other troops were. By the time I arrived at the fighting ground, apparently the fight had already ended with the victory of the Region guild. There were dozens of injured people, some of whom died and turned into soul nuclei.
Tch!
I clicked my tongue. Relax, I must keep it deep in my anger. I started walking to a place where the soldiers could see me still in the form of a mature woman.
"Chairman! You're fine apparently!"
Say one of the soldiers with spirit.
Then, one by one the cheers of the soldiers began to sound and became more and more crowded.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman, you're so hot and sexy with that form!"
"Basic jerk! Although you're allowed to tease her, sexual harassment is forbidden!"
Mirai began to bark and hit the soldier on the head.
I could feel a smile appearing on my lips because of the sight I saw. Thank goodness they can still say something like this.
"Alright, since you guys can still act like normal jerks, I want some people who can still fight to come with me."
Priscilla.
The bewildered soldiers started to look at each other in confusion with my statement. However, those who seemed to still be strong to fight started to rise one by one.
"Chairman, allow me to come along too."
Said one of the soldiers.
"You, if it's not wrong Rigel called you Braund, right? Your strength will be needed."
Priscilla.
"My real name is Leywin, ma'am."
Braund said in despair.
The other soldiers laughed because of that. I ignored him and walked out to head to where Rigel was most likely still fighting with Azazel.
In the rear, Anastasia, Mirai, Leywin and the other soldiers followed me out. Upon our arrival at the gate, the surrounding residents waiting for our return began to applaud with great joy, some even crying.
"Although I also want to enjoy their flattery, there are more important things to deal with, let's all do it!"
Priscilla.
"Good!"
Said Anastasia and the others in unison.
We ran as fast as we could and ignored the people around us. From a distance, I could see an enormous crater forming deep within the forest.
"What kind of attack can make such a lake."
Braund was amazed.
"Even I would never be able to do such a thing."
Reply Mirai.
I admire their admiration. What kind of crazy superpowers can make a crater that big? I'm sure the crater will become a lake if it's filled with rainwater.
Whether the crater was made by Rigel or perhaps Azazel, if one of them could still survive after the attack, I would conclude that they were both equally monsters.
It took us a few minutes to get to the crater where they were likely fighting. Surprisingly, I could not feel the slightest hint of which one was clashing.
Is the fight over? Then why can't I feel where Rigel belongs?
"Crazy, it's bigger if you look closely."
Murmured a soldier.
The soldier was right, his size was larger than it looked in the distance. This crater is round but what is unique about it is its depth which is horizontal like a meteor that is dragged while digging the ground.
"There's someone there!"
Shouted Anastasia.
I immediately stood by and darted to the spot Anastasia pointed at.
"You... "
I can't say a word with what I see. There, a man with long hair was lying weak, his body started to blink as if it was starting to shrink and turn into a soul core.
That person was one of the princes of Hell, Azazel.
Then, if Azazel is defeated, under Rigel?!
"Don't worry. If you're looking for that guy, he's already climbed the floor and headed to the place where Satan is."
A voice came from Azazel.
"You.. I salute you're still able to survive this crazy attack."
Priscilla.
Azazel only smiled weakly before his death.
"You're right. I'll tell you one thing, if you want to catch up with Rigel, please get on this floor quickly. Starting from here to the 75th floor already had no master so the soul core fee had been eliminated."
Azazel said before he disappeared.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean the other princes have been defeated?!"
Priscilla.
Azazel had already disappeared first and became a green-colored soul core. If it was true that the soul core cost had been eliminated, there was only one way to ascertain it.
"Chairman, what happened to the person who was there before?"
Ask Braund.
"Just calm down, he's Azazel. Now he's dead then, then,
Gather everyone together, we'll head straight upstairs with the portal."
Priscilla.
Wait for us, Rigel. We'll be here soon to help you.
