The Damned Demon Chapter 77 Spirit Of The Chamber Of Hell

Rebecca wanted to fume but she knew she couldn’t in a public place like this, especially with the Head Warden standing here. She can’t let anyone of them see that she was encouraging the royal consort to die.

However, she then wondered why she should feel worried if there was no chance of him passing. Nobody has ever survived the 7th summoning, not even prodigies who were said to be born every 10,000 years.

She also saw the Head Warden coming over and realizing that there wasn’t enough time she looked at Asher with a subtle smile, “Fine…I accept. It would be a pity if I don’t get to see a genius like you surviving the 7th summoning,” She sarcastically said.

“Asher, are you sure about what you are about to do?” Duncan Doru asked as he stood outside the chamber. He thought Asher would call it a day after he survived the 6th summoning, which was the hardest anyone could ever survive. But seeing his disposition, he could tell what Asher was planning to do, making him feel wonder if this boy really knew no fear.

Rebecca silently stepped away as she was now confident he would only come out as ashes. She was quite worried earlier, thinking he was going to give up. She could only imagine how much he would grow based on how he survived the 6th summoning. Fortuntaely for her, just like some geniuses who were drunk with their own talents,  Asher didn’t know when to stop.

“I came this far, so why not go all the way?” Asher said with a shrug, making the others gasp, wondering if he was really serious.

However, the main reason Asher wanted to give it a try was that he heard that only the 1st and 7th floors had mysterious rewards that no one else was able to obtain.

Others thought these mysterious rewards were to tempt people and weed out those greedy ones who don’t know when to stop. So almost all of them would never dare to and earn these rewards since they believed it was impossible.

But Asher thought this mentality was wrong and that these rewards existed to be earned. It was just that no one was capable of earning them or were too scared to try.

So he didn’t want to let go of this chance which he wouldn’t ever get again. Once someone passed a trial, there was no redoing it.

“Mother, I think we got worried for nothing. This fool is going to end up dead,” Edmund said with a scornful look and couldn’t believe he got anxious for a second.

Esther Throne let out a cold hum as she said, “Good. One less thing to be concerned about.”

Eradicator wanted to pull out Asher before he got himself killed, but as the Head Warden said, not only her but nobody can pull out anyone from the Chamber of Hell.

But suddenly, the entire hall plunged into silence as someone announced, “The Bloodburn Queen enters!”

Everyone suddenly fell to their right knee, showing their respect for her unexpected presence, or maybe it was not that surprising considering she should have already got the news of what was going on with her consort.

They saw her intoxicating and elegant figure entering the hall along with four of her Bloodborn Guards and Ceti, the Battlemaster.

Asher saw her coming in with a slightly hurried pace. It seemed like she rushed here as soon as possible, as expected.

Eradicator immediately rushed towards her and bowed and was about to apologize for failing her order. But the queen walked straight towards the Chamber of Hell without looking at anyone else.

Ceti still had her eyes widened in shock, seeing Asher in the chamber and still had yet to come to terms with the things she heard.

Duncan bowed his head, and Rowena also slightly bowed her head but immediately asked, “Why did you let him inside, Head Warden?”

“It was the will of the devils, Your Majesty. Things couldn’t have gone any other way,” Duncan said with a calm gaze.

Rowena’s brows subtly raised upon hearing his words, and she didn’t ask him anything else. Instead, she looked at Asher and said in a low voice, “You have a lot of explaining to do. But first, I want you to come out. You have done enough to pass this trial.”

“I heard the 7th summoning is the real test of my bloodline. Everyone thinks I am a lowborn, but I want to see for myself where I truly stand. I am sure you are curious, too, right?” Asher said as he leaned against the glass, his face just a few inches away from hers with the glass wall in the middle.

Rowena’s eyes briefly became glazed when he mentioned that she would be curious about his bloodline. She couldn’t help but think about the discussion she had early this morning with her uncle and his family.

But she felt there was no point if it would lead him to his death. She furrowed her brows and could see that he was truly fearless about what he was planning to do, while most would do anything to get out of this Chamber of Hell at this point.

“You have proven yourself more than enough. There is no need to prove the worth of your bloodline further. You are not allowed to die. The final spirit isn’t like the ones you fought so far. It is the manifestation of the chamber’s spirit itself, and nobody has survived fighting it, not even my grand-aunt. So come out before the chamber summons its own spirit,” Rowena stressed firmly.

Her voice was cold as always, but it couldn’t hide the anxiousness she was feeling, thinking about how her promise to her father might be broken because of how stubborn Asher was being.

Everybody couldn’t believe they would see a sight where the queen was actually imploring her consort to come out. They wondered why she cared so much about him, or was it because she was doing her duty as his wife? They just couldn’t make sense of it.

Still, some of them felt that it made sense now why the queen was keeping him alive all this time. She must have known he was a hidden genius all this time, which was also why she was urging him to come out now.

However, it was surprising to see how the royal consort had the guts to not listen to her. But on second thought, it didn’t seem that surprising considering how he knew no fear at all. If he dared to put his arm inside Doomfall’s mouth and even try to ride Ghoroq, then there was nothing he would fear.

Sabina’s eyes glowed with a veiled light as she looked at Rowena, trying her best to make Asher come out.

“If you are that worried about your promise, then don’t be. You did your best, but if I die because of my decision, then I am at fault. So as far as that is concerned, you played no part in breaking the promise,” Asher said with a narrowed gaze.

Rowena’s eyes became glazed as if she was contemplating it, though she didn’t seem fully convinced.

“But if you are still concerned about me coming out of this alive, promise me one thing, and I will try my best to not die,” Asher said, trying to make the most out of it.

“What is it?” She immediately asked.

“If I survive this, then I don’t want you to restrict my actions anymore. Otherwise, I would feel like a prisoner, and it would be better to die in this chamber than live like one,” Asher said with a sad sigh.

Rowena firmly pressed together her lips, seeing how he was making things difficult for her. She never thought it would be so hard to keep a simple promise.

“Make it quick. I have about a few seconds before the 7th summoning,” Asher said as he knew the chamber would automatically start the next summoning even without him saying anything. Apparently, after each summoning, the chamber would offer a short but certain period of rest, the time for which would increase with each summoning.

Rowena knew Asher was trying to mess with her, but she didn’t want to take any chances and said, “Okay…I promise. Now you should come out of this chamber…alive.”

Rowena knew there was no chance he was going to come out of this alive but seeing his dark yellow eyes brimming with calm confidence, she had mixed thoughts about the outcome.

“Of course, and remember this…The only reason I am doing this is for you,” Asher said as he looked into her crimson eyes.

Rowena’s eyes flickered, but she abruptly turned around without saying anything.

Knowing that she couldn’t do anything else, she stepped back as the dark rune circle within the chamber began to glow.

Asher smiled subtly as he saw her walk away.

[ The Chamber of Hell will now summon its avatar, the Hell Maiden. With the regenerative and resistance ability of Globi, the Abyssal Slime; the agility of Girgal, the Nefarious Imp; the multi-arm ability of the Rakshasa; strength of Doomfall; the petrifying eyes of Lubac and fire breathing ability of Ghoroq…Your soul will be claimed by the Hell Maiden… ]

‘You gotta be kidding me…’ Asher now realized why nobody survived the 7th summoning. It was just impossible!

This spirit, called the Hell Maiden, literally was the manifestation of the strengths of all the spirits he fought before.

This would mean this spirit would be as fast as the imp, with the main difference that it would be scaled to its level. And with multiple arms, it could cast multiple attacks at the same time.

He also had no doubt with the strength of Doomfall, this spirit could crush his head with just its bare hands. And since it would have the eyes of Lubac, it would mean he has to fight blind. The trick he used earlier with Lubac wouldn’t work since the Hell Maiden already saw what he did.

These abilities, coupled with the fire-breathing ability of the wyvern he fought earlier, this spirit could reduce him to ashes without even getting close. Ghoroq also had insane mana reserves which would also mean the Hell Maiden would have it too, making it almost impossible to exhaust it and survive.

But who would have thought that the strengths of a weak slime would prove to be the most dangerous aspect of the Hell Maiden?

Having a slime body would mean that it can regenerate rapidly, and his physical attacks would do little to no damage at all!

Did he really push it too much and sign his own death?
