Chapter 159 - The Purgatory Space (1/2)

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!
