Hell's Handbook

Chapter 360

The woman in a veil was not bothered at all by the ghosts before her. She kept walking and allowed the ghosts to pounce at her, while her four companions did not seem worried about her at all.

Just when those ghosts were about to strike her, countless shadows surged from her back. Upon closer inspection, those shadows were really arms that resembled wings as they stretched out from inside her body.

The arms pulled all the ghosts coming toward the woman into the wings, which was followed by the sound of howls and screams from the ghosts, before everything quieted down again.

Impressive. Youre someone with the powers of the primordial deities after all. Not even god level ghosts can do anything to you, remarked Jing Hua. He was both shocked and uneasy about how powerful this woman was.

Whats the point of having powers? the woman suddenly stopped and asked Jing Hua.

Whats the point? Its to become strong, to become unbeatable, to make others shudder in fear, replied Jing Hua without hesitation.

But she shook her head and sighed as she said, Those are just some of the things that come with having powers. The point of having powers is to protect. It could be to protect yourself, or to protect someone else. Thats the true meaning of having powers.

But in my case my powers were gained at the expense of the deaths of my own race. Whats the point in having powers like that? She seemed depressed as she stopped talking and started walking again, allowing the ghosts to come near her because they were all turned to nothing but smoke.

With the woman in a veil leading the way, the second story did not pose any danger to the group and they made their way through easily. Toward the end, the last of the ghosts sensed that this woman was dangerous and stopped trying to attack her.

Meanwhile, back on the third story, Su Jin and his team followed behind Shen Wu and quickly ran into the team of monster owners again. But this time, they were already dead. Their bodies were floating in the lava and slowly being burned to ashes.

A team that was around the same level as us has been slaughtered just like that? Oscar couldnt help but make this comment. This team of monster owners was definitely no weaklings. Any team that could get through the stone statues at the front door and walk through the second story without any issue could not be a weak team. Yet, they had all died here, leaving behind nothing but their lifeless bodies.

They made it this far, though. So, they must have had some way to get across this terrain, right? said Natasha.

Su Jin squatted down to look at the body of the monster closest to him. Half of the body had holes in it, and its bones had clearly been broken by some strong force. Su Jins eyes immediately widened as he said to the team, They died from getting hit by something. Theres something dangerous around here.

Immediately after he said those words, the lava nearby suddenly started boiling and a gigantic man made from lava appeared before them, raining a dense spray of fireballs at them.

Humph! Shen Wu snorted as the fireballs were extinguished in mid air and no longer carried any heat. But while the flames were extinguished, the rocks that were surrounded by the now extinguished flames were still coming at them like grenades.

Roar! Natasha let out an angry growl as she instantly transformed into dragon. Her giant wings helped to protect the rest from the flying rocks.

Even as she did so, she howled sadly as her body kept moving downward. The velocity of those rocks was extremely high, and the force of their landing made it hard for even Natasha to hold up. Some of the rocks even made holes in several parts of her dragon wings. No wonder those monster owners ended up dying here.

Natasha, let me step on you! shouted Su Jin.

Natasha raised her wings a little to give Su Jin enough space to leap out and jump onto her head.

He pressed his hands down hard on her head and silver armor appeared around her body with a loud hum. This was armor made from Su Jins psychokinesis, and while it was easier to create compared to a mecha, it still consumed a lot of psychokinesis.

Everyone, hurry up and defeat that thing! yelled Su Jin.

With the psychokinesis armor in place, Natasha no longer feared the rocks and flew toward the lava giant. Shen Wu used his powers to surround her with a layer of frost to protect her.

Natasha smashed hard into the lava giant, her dragon claws tearing one of its arms off. Su Jin stretched his arms out and used his psychokinesis to give her an extra pair of psychokinesis dragon claws.

His psychokinesis claws held onto the giants head, while Natasha turned to whip her tail against the giants neck to lop the giants head off.

Lets go! Durand leaped toward the giant as he yelled at Shen Wu, Give me some frosty armor too!

Got it! replied Shen Wu.

Durand leaped into the giant from its open neck and began attacking the giant from its insides. As Su Jin, Natasha, and Durand joined forces to attack the giant, it began to lose strength and collapsed back into the lava.

But immediately after it hit the lava, the giant began to recuperate rapidly. Su Jin noticed this and said, Weve got to separate the giant from the lava, or it will be able to revive itself again and again!

Leave that to me! yelled Oscar after remaining on the sidelines. His body turned into a shadow that wrapped itself around the giant.

The shadowy layer separated the giant from the lava, but Oscar couldnt do this for too long. His Spirit Power was very adversely affected by high temperatures.

Time to die! Shen Wu leaped into the shadow and used his Spirit Power to put out all the flames on the giant and force its temperature to go down very quickly. In less than a minute, the giant had lost all signs of life and became an icy rock.

Boom! Durand burst out from the giants stomach and Natasha smashed her claw against the giant, turning it into powder.

Oscar immediately reverted to human form. Being a shadow that covered such a large area had been tough on him, especially since it was simply too hot here. The extremely high temperature had really affected Oscar badly.

The five of them had managed to kill the giant in about three minutes. It seemed easy, but that was only because the five of them had managed to coordinate their attacks really well. If just one of them failed in any way, they could end up all dead like that team of monster owners.

The giant couldnt rise up again because it had been smashed to smithereens, but Su Jin had a bad feeling that this giant wasnt the only enemy on this floor. They had to hurry toward the volcano they saw earlier.

Its not safe to stay here, so wed better hurry along, Su Jin called out to the team. He pulled Natasha, who had reverted to human form, to her feet, then continued walking.

Their expressions were grim, because while they hadnt lost anyone thus far, they were almost reaching the limits of their powers. If this went on, they feared that at least one of them might not survive the Challenge.

Durands body had sustained a lot of burns, since Shen Wus frosty armor did not seem very useful against the inside of the giants body. But his immortal body could recover very quickly, so the burns scabbed over almost immediately, then the scabs fell off to reveal smooth skin again.

The three of you have energy types of Spirit Power, so youve used up a lot of it thus far, havent you? Are you guys still alright? asked Durand.

Su Jin frowned. Durand was asking probably because he had used up a lot of his Spirit Power. His body could recover from fatal injuries, so it was often described as an immortal one, but it wasnt true that Durand could not die.

I can go through one more such battle, but I still have that pill from Oscar, so I think Ill be fine, said Shen Wu first. His Spirit Power was not energy based. It was a technique to control the environment, so it did not consume as much as it seemed.

They all turned to look at Su Jin and Oscar. These two were the ones with energy based Spirit Powers.
