Chapter 159 The Purgatory Space

It had to be said that despite Vulgrim being a humiliation in the eyes of many demons, his credibility was quite good after concluding a deal!

After receiving the remuneration of five hundred souls from Roy, he immediately opened his Serpent Hole to Roy and Julia!

The so-called ‘Serpent Hole’ was merely Vulgrim’s name for it. In fact, these so-called Serpent Holes were spatial paths extending in all directions that existed in different spaces.

Vulgrim was a rift demon, and his spatial talent allowed him to enter these Serpent Holes at any time and anywhere. However, Roy and Julia were not rift demons, so if Vulgrim wanted them to enter, he could only use his magic power to draw a magic formation on the ground. When standing on the magic formation, Roy immediately realized that the world in front of him had changed.

The surrounding scenery became blurry, constantly wriggling and distorting, as though he was looking at something through water vapor, but it was also a bit different.

“Follow me closely!” Vulgrim led the way in front. “The Serpent Hole opens up in the ‘Purgatory’ Space, and the Purgatory Space is constantly changing. The only relatively stable place is the Serpent Hole path I opened. If you get lost in this Purgatory Space, it will be very troublesome for you…

Roy flapped his wings carefully as he flew forward. In this distorted and blurry space, there was no such thing as stepping on solid ground. Roy could only see a curved, white trail that Vulgrim left behind as he moved forward. This was probably the so-called path, so he followed this trail closely. Julia was no exception. She also followed closely while looking all around.

“What is the Purgatory Space?” Roy asked Vulgrim as he followed. Although Roy roughly understood some knowledge about the Gate of the Abyss, it was only a part of the use of space. Roy did not know much regarding true space theory, so he could only ask this rift demon Vulgrim.

“In many worlds, there are distinctions between the main material world and the sub-material world!” Vulgrim explained. “I don’t know why, but most of the time, the human world is the main material world, and the other races live in sub-material world… These two worlds are in their own spaces, as though they’re wrapped in bubbles. This is the so-called ‘space bubble’ theory!

“These space bubbles often pile up around the space bubbles where the main worlds are! You can imagine them as, well, like grapes, like a bunch of grapes!” Vulgrim described Roy as he advanced. “And these space bubbles will intersect with the space bubbles of the main material worlds. The edges of their spaces will often merge together, and then as long as you master the right method, you can go to other space bubbles. The so-called Purgatory Space refers to the parts where these space bubbles merge when they meet. These parts of the spaces can be regarded as the spaces of the main material worlds, and they can also be regarded as the spaces of the sub-material worlds, but they are neither. They are special spatial locations! “After entering the Purgatory Spaces, you will see many inexplicable scenes. These scenes might come from the main material worlds or from the sub-material worlds. They are a kind of spatial projection, and in fact, they’re not real!” Vulgrim continued. “These scenes also possess the same physical and/or magic power properties as the main body, so even if you destroy these scenes, their true bodies will remain intact in the original world!”

“Is there such a Purgatory Space in every world?” Roy asked.

“Not necessarily!” Vulgrim shook his head. “Only in some high-magic worlds will there be more space bubbles, which will cause the emergence of the Purgatory Spaces. In some low-magic worlds, the main material world might only have one space bubble! Therefore, it’s impossible for a Purgatory Space to appear. We rift demons like to live in these Purgatory Spaces the most, and I, Vulgrim, am the demon that is the best at digging paths in the Purgatory Spaces!”

“Hmph, bragging on your own…” After hearing this, Julia wanted to mock him, but she then remembered that they were in the Purgatory Space, which was Vulgrim’s territory. If she angered this guy and was tricked by him, it would be troublesome, so she could only swallow her words.

Roy thought of this as well, so even though he was talking to Vulgrim, he was actually secretly guarding against him. Fortunately, Vulgrim did not mind at all and did not have any evil intentions. After a while, he suddenly pointed to the right. “Ah, found her!”

Roy looked in the direction of his finger. As expected, a scene appeared in the void in front of him, seemingly like a projected movie screen. In the scene, a woman with magenta hair and armor was fighting a huge humanoid bird with a cane inside a building!

This woman in armor held a long whip in her hand. This whip was like a living viper, and it was brimming with powerful magic power. As she flew, she continuously lashed at the huge strange bird, making it scream. Every time the strange bird fought back, she would avoid it with her agile movements!

This lady was Fury of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse… “Very formidable combat skills!” After observing in the Purgatory Space for a while, Julia suddenly evaluated solemnly, “Although this Horseman doesn’t have a large amount of magic power and strength, her combat skills are extraordinary. I can see that she has experienced many battles, so she has extremely rich experience and would be a very tough opponent…”

Roy was also observing the battle between Fury and the huge strange bird. Of course, Roy agreed with Julia’s evaluation, but at the same time, Roy knew that the true strength of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse laid in their infinite potential. Because the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had the combined angel and demon bloodline, they could actually strengthen themselves by extracting souls. The more battles they experienced, the stronger they became.

After watching for a while, Roy suddenly turned his head and asked Vulgrim, “Will she find us?”

“That’s impossible! Unless she also has spatial powers!” Vulgrim said.

“In other words, can you observe anyone’s battles or actions as you please in these Purgatory Spaces?” Roy asked.

“Of course not. It needs to just happen to be on the paths of the Serpent Holes!” Vulgrim quickly explained. “Moreover, sometimes powerful magic power can affect the Purgatory Spaces… I know what you want to ask. If I really can see everything and know any secret, do you think those demon kings would tolerate us rift demons? I’m just a humble merchant, and I’m unwilling to do things that can cause my death!”

Roy looked at Vulgrim, who maintained his cautious and flattering expression. After a while, Roy said, “Okay…”

After entering this Purgatory Space, Roy realized a problem. Had this fellow also secretly observed him for a while… Roy felt that if this fellow really dared to spy on him, he would definitely beat him to death!

Perhaps many demons hated this guy because of this…

He turned his attention back to the Horseman Fury. After a while, the battle over on Fury’s side ended, and she knocked down the huge strange bird. She seemed to obtain a strange talisman from this bird, and while holding this talisman, she actually turned the huge strange bird into countless light rays and sucked it into the talisman.

“That strange bird she beat seems to be called Envy!” Vulgrim said from beside him. “That seems to be one of the Seven Deadly Sins that Fury is looking for!”

“What are the Seven Deadly Sins? They don’t look like demons…” Roy asked.

“I’m not too sure about the specifics!” Vulgrim spread his hands. “Although they don’t have the aura of demons from the Abyss, they have the power of strong negative emotions. Moreover, judging from their strength, they’re only at the high-rank demon level… Logically speaking, this power should be the power that only the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings possess. It’s really difficult to understand…”

“Okay, open the exit. I’m going out!” Roy did not probe further.

“Are you sure?” Vulgrim asked. “She’s just experienced a battle. At this time, her guard against a demon appearing will definitely be very high. Perhaps she’ll attack you as soon as you appear… As I said, she has a terrible temper and is very difficult to deal with…”

“Open it!” Roy nodded. Vulgrim did not say anything else and raised his arm. The distorted and blurry scene around them gradually became real… At Roy’s and Julia’s feet, the ground appeared again, and the surrounding scenery appeared as well. This meant that they had unknowingly emerged from the Purgatory Space…

… And appeared right in front of Fury…

Facing the sudden appearance of Roy and Julia, Fury was first startled but quickly calmed down. She stood on the spot with her hands on her hips and a whip in her hand. “Well, look at this. The combination of a demon and a fallen angel is really rare. Hello! Are you also one of the Seven Deadly Sins?”
