17 Entering Underground (1/2)
After several weeks the day has come. The day when Lucien will undergo his Hell Trials. One could think that there would be many people and the entire ceremony to celebrate the start of trials. That would be a mistake.
He only changed his hairstyle to that of shortening one. He cut his hair so now they were only to the length to his hips. He had bangs and lock of hair over either ear. He kept his hair back into a ponytail with a red ribbon.
Lucien was only one who had gone to the entrance to Hell where the actual spatial rift was located. He was escorted there by one of Royal Guards who dropped him right before the entrance. The entrance was actually an ordinary cave entrance.
The only difference was that here there were countless traps, pits and a strong smell of blood. Lucien looked around to see only two guards who were both of Baron Rank as they saluted him in a moment when they saw him and continued play chess and drinking blood.
Lucien then again looked at the gloomy entrance to the cave which gave him a weird feeling. It was feeling that nothing good was waiting inside and there is only danger and death awaiting. But still, he took a step forward and entered the cave.
=============================================
Lucien spent around half an hour only to find a right tunnel which led to a giant valley inside the cave. Actually, this wasn't caving but rather some kind of smaller underground world. Even when it was a smaller one it was still big. Bigger than some human cities.
Suddenly as Lucien was going through one tunnel he saw a demon. It was a little weird looking creature around one meter tall with red scales and long claws. The claws looked very sharp and rather dangerous. Lucien took the opportunity to scan the weir creature as he was still hidden.
This was another kind of scan. He could scan friendly targets with a more precise scan like done with his family but it won't give him much information because the disparity in cultivation was huge. This time Lucien chose description type scan which provided a basic record of the scanned target.
=============================================
Claw Demon (inferior)
Most inferior of Claw Demon race. They are just scavengers which are treated as food for ordinary demons in Hell.
Strength of scanned Claw Demon if below Baron Rank, with use of Sacred Devourer Ghoul reace rating it would be rated as B Rated.
=============================================
Lucien was delighted to find the most important information in one scan and that enemy was far weaker. But what scared him was fact that this most inferior demon was rated as B Rated based on the rating of Sacred Devourer Ghoul race and it was one of the sources of food for ordinary demons in Hell.
He now knew that place called Hell was extremely terrifying. Very very much if an only most degraded demon was as strong as B Rated Sacred Devourer Ghoul.
Lucien just looked at the demon and rushed at it with full speed. One good aimed kick at its head killed it immediately and then Lucien proceeded with his journey. He ambushed this poor demon when it wasn't paying attention to its surroundings and killed it with a surprise attack.
