The third level of the Nine Hells, Minauros.

This is a layer of mud and filthy stinking swamps. The water in the swamp is so cold that it has frozen in some places, but in other places, the cold water is boiling and steaming with the heat of hellfire.

Unknown and terrifying creatures wander in the black water, and even the devils dare not wander too far out of their city. At the lowest point of this level, viscous sewage drips continuously, forming a long waterfall down to the third level.

Level 4. Many lost travelers and predators were accidentally swept into the long but deadly waterfall leading to Phlegethos.

Minauros is also known as the Sinking City. This is because the weight of the city itself causes the city to keep sliding down in the sewage swamp.

It all depends on the chain city hanging above Minauros - the city of Harsh Hit with countless thick metal chains, and the eternal efforts of countless petitioners and slaves under the strict supervision of the chain demons.

This can prevent the city from finally succumbing to the swamp waterfall, but the city still has to sink a little deeper into the mud every year.

The third lord of Hell, Grand Duke Mammon, lives in a magnificent mausoleum-like building in the center of the city of Minauros.

Maman is also a big devil, but in appearance, he is more like a large poisonous snake holding a spear-like harpoon, with a human torso, head, and arms.

And if we want to give him a label that is most impressive to the devils, then

Must be a traitor!

Maman is a traitor among traitors.

Although he once allied with Iron Duke Disbat and Hellfire Lord Mephistopheles to fight against Asmodeus, when Asmodeus failed in that failed rebellion codenamed "Pay the Bill"

When the victory was finally proven, he was the first to surrender to the Ninth Lord.

Nowadays, almost no other lords would trust him anymore, and it was naturally impossible for him to trust the lies that Iron Duke Disbatt told him.

Therefore, after ending the magical communication with the other party three days ago, Maman ordered the devils who were bribed by him in Avernus and Dis to report truthfully to him.

When it was learned from these devils that the new Archduke of Avernus and Zariel who had been released by him actually ignored the heavy protection of Dis and the Iron Tower, they directly slapped the portal on the face of the Iron Archduke and beat him severely.

After talking for a while, the scales of this devilish snake stood up, and then he called on his subordinates to quickly strengthen the space magic protection of their territory.

Although he and Zariel did not fight head-on during that [Liquidation] operation, even when he saw Zariel who was exhausted at that time from a distance, he still had a creepy feeling of facing death.

If Zariel hadn't chosen to withdraw before they arrived, there would have been an even more ridiculous thing like the reinforcements being scared back on the way.

But just when the Serpent Archduke was fully alert and waiting for the possible invasion, what he heard was the news that Levi was rectifying and liquidating Avernus's finances. As the Bronze Fortress meeting began, Maman even more

He was shocked to find that none of the devil officers whom he had bribed refused to reply to his messages.

Maman was on guard like this for three days and three nights. A thin layer of bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes when he looked through Qiu Shui, but he still didn't see any sign that his territory was being invaded.

The heavily armed Serpent Grand Duke immediately felt very humiliated. He looked at his subordinates who had been summoned temporarily to protect him and looked at each other in embarrassment. In order to find a decent place for him to step down, he immediately laughed wildly:

"Have you seen, what is deterrence? This is deterrence!

"Compared to that idiot Disbat who was hammered into a discus but still only knows how to hide in the iron tower and dare not show his face, I, Lord Mammon, am the worst person in the entire Baator Hell, second only to His Majesty Asmodeus.

The powerful Lord of Hell!

"Even someone as powerful as Zariel, the Daughter of Destruction, didn't she wave her army and retreat when she saw Mammon's flag from afar, and hid back in her Avernus in embarrassment!"

According to the past rhythm, now is the time for all the subordinates to relax and flatter themselves.

However, this time, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that all the demon officers under his command suddenly changed their expressions, and then they all winked behind him.

"Um?"

Maman did not hear the flattery he expected to hear and was very unhappy. He was about to issue a scolding when he suddenly felt a slight chill in the wind blowing behind him.

"So? You really wanted me to stay and fight with you back then?"

Suddenly hearing this extremely familiar voice, the whole snake's body immediately became erect and turned its head suddenly.

I was shocked to see that a faint portal opened behind me. Zariel, Tiberius and Bayer walked out side by side in a triangle shape. The former's eyes were full of cold and serious inquiries, and the latter two

Others are full of bad intentions.

"Zazazazarel! What are you doing?"

Just like back then, when he saw Zariel now, the trembling scream that came from the depths of his soul still made his head ache.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Maman immediately bowed to Zariel and Levi while all his subordinates were stunned, and said with a flattering smile on his face:

"Oh! My dear Miss Zarrell, I haven't seen you for two hundred years, and you are becoming more and more charming!

"This must be Mr. Tiberius, the new Grand Duke of Avernus. He is indeed the candidate appointed by His Majesty Asmodeus. He is so outstanding at first glance.

"And Brother Bayer, I have always admired your strategic command in defending against the demon army.

"The three of you come to Minauros together.

"I, Maman, am truly honored!

"I just don't know why these three people came to visit?

"Ah, that's it! Why don't I send someone to prepare a banquet right now, and we can talk in detail at the reception?"

Faced with Maman's shamelessness and this dramatic reversal, even Bayer, who was familiar with Maman, couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Zarrell glanced sideways at Levi, who raised his hand and looked at the alchemy watch and said:

"Next time, our time is valuable."

Zariel looked back at the embarrassed Archduke Mammon, raised his hand and clenched his white fists loudly:

"Then let's have a fight first. If there's any problem, we'll talk about it after the fight is over."

Grand Duke Maman's head immediately shook like a rattle, and he backed away warily while waving his hands crazily:

"No, no, no! If you have any requests, tell me first! How do you know I won't agree to it if you don't tell me!

"We are all in charge of Baator Hell together, there is no need to be so barbaric.

"Quimas! Save me!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Half a minute later, the devil prince lay on the ground like a dead snake, with two eyeballs that were about to pop out, full of doubts about the devil.

Zariel, who was uninjured, stepped on the back of his neck, playing with the opponent's completely deformed and twisted harpoon in his hand, then looked at Levi and said:

"I'm done beating you, it's your turn."

“Wonderful, but a bit fast.”

Li Wei, who had been watching the show with his arms folded, applauded, then took out a standard devil's contract from his straight suit and threw it in front of Maman, who was in a daze:

"If you have no objection, just sign it."

How dare I have an opinion?

Grand Duke Mammon, who had already died half of his life, roared silently in his heart. He put on a smile that was uglier than crying and picked up the contract. He glanced at it anxiously, especially when he saw that Desbatt had already signed it before him.

After naming his name, his face froze, and his heart suddenly felt as aggrieved as the Iron Duke:

'That's it! This is the contract! As for it! As for it!!!'

Maman expressionlessly signed his name on it, smiled again and said:

"Can you let me go now? My lords"

And a group of devils who witnessed the tragedy at the scene of the violence did not even dare to run away. They could only huddle in the corner and tremble. Seeing that the devil they served was so humble, they all sighed with joy and frustration in their hearts.

“In good spirits.”

Levi smiled and praised, then turned to Miss Fallen Angel and said:

"Zariel, for snake-like creatures like this, remember to hit seven inches next time. The efficiency will be much higher."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zariel, who was willing to practice, had already waved the harpoon in his hand and struck it down.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After six loud bangs resounding over the city,

"Is it like this?" Zariel let go of the snake-shaped Duke whose spine was almost broken into seven sections by her, and asked for confirmation.

Li Wei looked at Grand Duke Maman, whose expression was almost frozen and his eyes were about to ejaculate, and shrugged:

"That's about right. Next time if I hit him a little softer and kill him, it might really trigger a civil war in hell."

As soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of chains breaking above the city of Minauros, which was causing aftershocks.

Bang! As the last and thickest one collapsed, the entire city of Minauros was immediately like a broken raft on the black water rapids, irresistibly heading towards the waterfall and towards the fourth level of hell, Flegeso.

Swooping down

"Oh, it looks like our integration plan can shorten some time."

Bayer looked at the abyss of the waterfall that was getting closer and closer, spread his hands, and let out a belated sigh.

Immediately afterwards, the devils in the entire city of Minauros all shouted in horror and despair:

"No!!!!!"

Like a dramatic hymn

In the city of Harsh Hit, which is covered with broken chains, the chain demon lord Quaimas and a group of chain demons are sitting in the church of Panos Quitel with their heads stretched out, looking at Minau sliding all the way to the bottom of the waterfall.

City of Los, all swallowed their saliva.
