Purgatory arc: Common Sense

‘Nonnom nom.'

“Hah , this is so tasty !” [Hecate]

“Indeed !” [Mea]

“I can’t believe that there was such a secret to this world’s lava lakes !” [Gargran]

................

‘Haaahhh’

“Yeah , they are delicious ... But I can’t stop asking myself ... Why the hell did I manage to catch more fish in a lake of lava in the Purgatory Realm that in the last thousand years ??? ” [Andel]

All three of us ... No , actually four I guess ... There is that devil that had agreed to become our guide as well ... Are eating fish right now .

I was a little on the edge earlier ... I felt like snapping . Fortunately , the fury subsided when I started fishing ... In a lake of Lava ... Who the hell would have thought that there would be fish living in lava ?

Their exterior is fiery, but the meat is delicious ... Furthermore, there are thousands of them ... I think this place is the heaven for any fisherman ...

As for that devil called Gargran , he is a pussy ... No , I’m serious ...

Earlier , while I was fishing , for god only knows what reason , Mea asked that idiot if he can change his form into something a little cuter ... And he turned into a cat with red fur and a little broken horn on his forehead .

It looks like he was actually a Devil Cat that had a pretty significant amount of energy since birth and got lucky during the war with the Heaven Realm ...

....

OK , lets breath in ... And ... Breath out ... Breath in ... Breath out ... Good !

Now , let’s ignore all the insanity that is this situation that I am in right now and start working on a solution .

I throw the fish bones in my hand in the lava and turn to the little cat that is chewing happily like nothing ever happened .

“Yo , Gargran , I will have you answer one question .” [Andel]

He stops eating and looks up at me ... He is actually ... Cute ?!? Nope Nope Nope ! Forget that I ever thought that ! Forget it ! This is an order , god damn it !

“Like I said Master , anything you wish to know I shall tell you without any hesitation at all !” [Gargran]

“Where is the exit from this Realm ?” [Andel]

“Dunno !” [Gargran]

FUUUUUUU.... Are you kidding me ???

One of my alpha type seals starts glowing ... Without even realising two scales are already lit up ... Considering how long this day was , is no wonder that my patience is on the verge of turning into dust ...

“What the hell does that mean ?!?” [Andel]

“I am only a little Executioner . Things like the exit of the Purgatory Realm are not something that someone like me is allowed to know . ” [Gargran]

“So ... You are useless !” [Andel]

I grab him by the tail and keep him suspended over the lava lake ...

“Wa – Wait !!! I don’t know this kind of information, but I know someone that might help us . ” [Gargran]

“Oh do you now ? ”[Ande]

I let his tail lose for one second, and he falls another ten centimetres ...

‘Hiii ...’

“Y-yes ... I do ... I swear it’s true . Please , let me show you, Master !”[Gargran]

In my eyes , this looks like a pathetic attempt to save his lowly life ... Still , is not like I have any other ideas how to leave this place , so , for now , we should at least give him a chance ... I tried to recast Forth Revelation : Space Warp earlier today ... Although a small breach appeared , it could not expand no matter how much energy I poured into it ... This is ...

“Annoying !” [Andel]

I throw him to the side , pick another fish and enjoy this fantastic meal calming my mind in the process ... It’s actually delicious !

----------------------------

It’s been a little over eight hours since we got to this Purgatory Realm . Right now we are travelling to a particular city where Gargran said that is the home of someone who might know how where the exit is located ...

One strange thing about this world is that the day – night cycle is still present . Although there is no sun in the sky , when the night comes all the flames that cover this land turns completely dark . It burns the same as regular fire, but it is not emitting any kind of light ... Kind of interesting I gotta say .

Finally , in this complete darkness , a blue candle like light appears in the distance .

The closer we get to the source of the light , the brighter it is . Soon a town like I’ve never seen before is being revealed before us .

Its sheer size is unbelievable ... It stretches for hundreds of kilometres on the horizon , covering everything . There are thousands of houses , wide streets filled with people and all kind of odd buildings ...

Still , the most amazing thing is the tower covered in blue flames and made out of some kind of pitch black material that stands straight in the middle like an almighty overlord that protects and rules over everyone that resides under his shadow .

“This is Tartarus , the capital of the Purgatory Realm . That tower in the middle is called the Tower of Balcifer and contains some of his true might together with his blue flames . Those flames are eternal , and no matter how powerful you are , if you touch them you will burn to death ! ” [Gargran]

Mea and Hecate are silently looking at the incredible show that is displayed in front of us ... This is truly ... Beautiful .

“Gargran you said that here is someone that might help us , right ?” [Andel]

“Yes, Master . Here , in Tartarus , one of the three Sovereigns of the Purgatory Realm resides . ” [Gargran]

...

“What is a Sovereign?” [Andel]

‘Ehh’ ’Huh’ ’Haa.'

All three of the utters cries of shock at my question . HEY ! I just came to this world not even a week ago ... How the hell am I supposed to know all little details???

The one clarifying the situation is Hecate ...

“Andel – sama , in this world there is a total of three Astral Realms : The Heaven Realm , The Infernal Realm, and the Purgatory Realm . “[Hecate]

Oh ... Three Realms ... Interesting ... Now I really want to go to those realms ... I am sure that there are some unusual and delicious fishes to catch there !

“Each of those has three Sovereigns that are the same as Emperors and Kings in our world . They have the power to decide everything in their territory and during the Great War is their responsibility to maintain the stability and to prevent the enemy forces to make a breach in the inner regions . ” [Hecate]

Haaah ... Who the hell would want to be a Sovereign if you had to do that kind of part time job ? You can’t even go on the battlefield during the war ... Furthermore, you would have to keep the order and peace of the Realm ... That would be such a hassle ...

“I see ... Thank you for explaining this to me Hecate .” [Andel]

“It was my pleasure Andel - sama !”[Hecate]

Pfew ... Her Smile when she is happy is truly bewitching ...

“Andel – sama , considering that you don’t know about the Sovereigns of the three Realms , I presume that you’ve never heard before of Celestials either , right ?” [Mea]

More information keeps coming in ... All these titles ... Executioner , Sovereigns , Celestials ... I don’t care who or what you are , as long as you are strong , come and fight me . Well ... For now, information is needed I guess ...

“No , never heard of them before ...” [Andel]

“Seriously ???” [Gargran]

“Although Andel – sama is incredibly powerful, his common sense has been lost long ago !” [Hecate]

I hear something rude from behind ... Hey ! I have common sense ! What did I ever do that violates common sense ?!?

‘Hmpph ’

Mea clears her throat and looks seriously at me ... It sounds like this might be quite important ...

“Listen well Andel – sama . The three Astral Realms appeared in this world about two billion years ago although the nine Divine Dimensional planes were created long before that . ” [Mea]

Wait a second ... There are nine freaking so called Divine Dimensional Planes ??? That is quite shocking in itself ...

“It is not exactly known how , but two billion years ago , three powerful being came into existence . This were the three Celestials : Balcifer of the Purgatory Realm , Ayame of the Heaven Realm and Lucifer of the Infernal Realm .”[Mea]

I wonder how strong are they ... Maybe I will have the opportunity to fight with at least one of them ... Although I would love to fight against all three of them in a battle royal ... That would be awesome !

“With their power alone , each created an Astral Plane that became their own world filled with their absolute rules. The Purgatory Realm is governed by Celestial Balcifer and is the place where ALL souls come after death from the nine Divine Planes . ”[Mea]

That seems a little strange... Why do all souls come here to be tortured for eternity ... Isn’t it a little ... Unfair ?

“Hey Mea , Hecate , Gargran , do any of you know by any chance where this Balcifer guy lives ?” [Andel]

“Great Celestial Balcifer – sama’s location is not known not even to the three Sovereigns... Still , why do you ask this out of the sudden master ?” [Gargran]

“Isn’t it obvious ? I want to kill him and become the new owner of this world so that I could come here to fish whenever I feel like it ! ” [Andel]

They are ... Dumbfounded ... No ! ... They seem angry ... Hey , you bunch liked the fish as well so what is so strange about me wanting to come back here to enjoy myself ?

Gargran returns to his macho form . Mea and Hecate have cold smiles on their faces ...

‘SLAP’ ‘PUNCH’ ‘SLAP.'

“””LEARN SOME FREAKING COMMON SENSE !!! ”””

-------------------------------

Ouch ... That hurt ... At least they start to be more casual around me ... That is good !
