Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1381 - 1311: Shortcut Destroyed

"Why?" Dante frowned, "With our current strength, we’ve already surpassed them. We can kill them and then break into the Hell’s Gate."

"Victory without strategic significance will only waste our strategic time." Huang Yi shook his head, "Let’s go in quickly! Don’t waste time here."

After saying this, Huang Yi turned and strode to the front of the Hell’s Gate, pushing it open and walking in.

The others saw this, put down their weapons, and followed Huang Yi into the Hell’s Gate.

...

On the other side, when Unbeaten and his group saw Huang Yi and others entering the Hell’s Gate, they all showed strange expressions.

Unbeaten was still puzzled by Huang Yi’s earlier attack that seemed completely harmless. The drop of blood from Huang Yi’s Wrath of the Godslayer, after hitting him, caused no harm and no discomfort.

"Be careful of the Godslayer’s move from just now. That move is strange and seems to have some trigger condition. Once triggered, it attacks everything around, sparing neither friend nor foe. We were killed by that move before!" Miyamoto Musashi reminded.

Unbeaten nodded, "I’ll be careful. Since they’ve entered the Hell’s Gate, we should go in too!"

After saying this, he strode towards the direction of the Hell’s Gate.

The Assassin guarding the Hell’s Gate stood at a distance, without stepping forward to stop them.

Without Huang Yi and the others’ help, his strength was insufficient to stop Unbeaten, so he could only stand by and watch as they broke into the Hell’s Gate.

After entering the Hell’s Gate, Unbeaten and the others immediately arrived in the Infinite City, but not on the same street as Huang Yi and the others.

Unbeaten waved his hand, and three streams of pure energy shot from his fingers, landing on the backs of Miyamoto Musashi, T.N.T, and Tarna, transforming into a pair of thin, nimble wings.

"This is a type of Insect Race ability from the Queen of Agony, which can greatly boost movement speed. We will definitely be faster than them!" Unbeaten smiled and immediately headed towards the shortcut to the Third Level.

The others quickly followed.

Sure enough, with those wings on their backs, their speed surged dramatically, their figures turning into streaks of light, rapidly traversing through the Infinite City.

In no time, they saw from afar the residence hiding the first shortcut!

Once inside that residence, they could access a tunnel in the cellar leading to the clouds of the Third Level.

But at this moment, on another street in the distance, the figures of Huang Yi and the others suddenly appeared, quickly heading their way!

Miyamoto Musashi was slightly startled, mumbling, "They really also found this shortcut. No wonder the Godslayer could reach the Seventh Challenge so quickly, stealing the BOSS from the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon!"

"No worries! We are faster than them!" Unbeaten sneered, leading his group quickly towards that residence, disappearing into it almost instantly.

Just as Unbeaten and his team entered the cellar of the residence, Huang Yi and his team also finally arrived, jumping into the cellar inside the house, quickly heading towards the Third Level.

Both sides raced through the cellar, but Unbeaten’s team was clearly faster. No matter how Huang Yi and his team tried to catch up, they couldn’t close the gap, which began to widen bit by bit.

Soon, Unbeaten and his team were the first to rush out of the cellar and reached the cloud level of the Third Level.

In the clouds, Unbeaten easily killed the Pope’s clone BOSS and continued for some distance, finding the Thunder Hole, and directly teleported to the Sixth Stage.

At this point, Unbeaten looked back at the Thunder Hole, a wicked smile curving her lips.

She extended her slender jade hand towards the Thunder Hole and waved forcefully.

A black demonic qi erupted, like a mighty river, fiercely striking the Thunder Hole, completely submerging it.

From within the black demonic qi, violent thunderclaps ensued, accompanied by flashes of bright lightning. However, all that lightning was unable to breach the demonic qi’s boundaries, firmly imprisoned within, as if suppressed by an irresistible force.

"Boom~" Suddenly, an unprecedented explosive sound rang out, as if something shattered. There was no more movement from within the demonic qi.

Only then did the demonic qi begin to disperse, revealing the scene on the ground.

The ground was already in ruins, several layers overturned, forming a huge pit, with no trace of the Thunder Hole remaining!

The Thunder Hole had been destroyed by Unbeaten’s brute force!

The second shortcut was destroyed!

Unbeaten retracted her hand, looked at the huge pit, and mocked, "Letting us in was the Godslayer’s fatal mistake. He would never have expected our speed to surpass his. Now that the Thunder Hole has been destroyed, they can’t take the shortcut to the Sixth Stage, they have to climb layer by layer! They’ve completely lost the chance to reach the top."

She finished speaking, then confidently turned, rushing rapidly towards the mountaintop.

Miyamoto Musashi, T.N.T, and Tarna looked at the huge pit once, still feeling some concern, but there was no time to waste now, as they all followed Unbeaten towards the mountaintop.

...

Ten minutes later, Huang Yi and his team finally arrived at the coordinates of the Thunder Hole in the clouds, belatedly.

However, at this time, there was only endless dark clouds ahead, with no trace of the Thunder Hole anywhere.

"Where’s the Thunder Hole?" The group was instantly shocked, circling around, carefully searching.

The Pope checked around and eventually shook his head, saying gravely, "No more Thunder Hole! I can’t perceive it anymore!"

Hearing the Pope’s definitive answer, everyone’s face darkened!

Having lost this shortcut, they were basically doomed to fail, and could no longer compete with the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon!

Huang Yi’s face remained calm, "I detected that after the four of them reached the Sixth Stage, they stayed for a while, most likely destroying the Thunder Hole over there!"

"What should we do now?" The Poet looked at Huang Yi, voicing the question on everyone’s mind worldwide.

The others also turned their heads to Huang Yi.

"It’s simple, we just climb up layer by layer!" Huang Yi said, looking up towards the direction of the Fifth Level. "This time, we can just kill the Greedy Demon Body, cleansing the Fifth Sin, so we won’t be burdened with sin and will have much more convenience when we reach Eden on the mountaintop."

"The Greedy Demon Body... Can we kill it?" Dante hesitated. The invincible image of the Greedy Demon Body was still vivid in everyone’s mind, having slaughtered them with no resistance. Now, being two levels lower, they were even weaker, much less likely to be a match for the Greedy Demon Body.

Huang Yi replied, "We couldn’t kill the Greedy Demon Body before, but now we can! The Heavenly Demon has recalled the Heart of Greed from the Greedy Demon Body, significantly lowering its power, turning it into an ordinary demigod."

These past few days haven’t been great, so each Chapter is just two thousand words, very short and quickly read through. I’m going to think carefully about the subsequent plot.
