25 Grivin Vorkas (2/2)
Yenma was glad he had come across that cave on his way to the Village. He knew that using the crystals would save him lot of time and effort. Yenma took his leave and proceeded towards the Miaoxiao mountain where he had found the Spiritual Crystal cave.

After Tin Ming had touched that circular inscription, he felt dizzy as the inscription consumed some of his blood and in the next instant he had arrived in a strange world.
The strange world was in constant darkness and had two brightly lit moons shining overhead.
Tin Ming walked for miles but found no food or water. At times he thought he was condemned to some eternal damnation and sent to Hell but his will to survive always remained firm.
After almost a day without food or water, he finally found a inhabitant in an area not far from where he was walking by. Tin Ming was so excited to see someone else here in this lonely place that he almost had an urge to run up and hug the inhabitant.
But when Tin Ming when closer he was left aghast. That inhabitant looked no different than a demon! He had red-shaggy skin and evil pairs of eyes and looked of violent nature as he held a club in his hand.
The red-skin demon had noticed the strange lifeform a while back, but he stood quietly as he watched with interest. Only after taking many glances did the dim-witted demon realize that this was a damn human!
The demon was originally outfor a walk but he never expected to come across a human in this remote region ofthe First Floor of Hell.
He immediately ran away to inform the scouts of the Demon Kings, this was because the red-demon knew that there was a huge reward that could be obtained for the information regarding the sighting of a human in Hell and moreover if the information actually led to the capture of the said human then the rewards would be tripled!
Although the red-demon had some thoughts of capturing the human and presenting it to the Demon Kings himself to get greater rewards but in the end he didn't dare to take such risk. Plus he was out here in this lonely region only for a walk, if he was killed then the truth about the matter of a human in Hell would remain undisclosed.
Looking at the demon seemingly making a run for his life, Tin Ming felt his ego inflate.
'Haha..I can't believe I was scared of such a cowardly demon a moment ago.. looks like I have entered some god-forsaken place which might be a habitat of demons!', Tin Ming was gleeful as he scared away a fat red-demon but when he thought about the latter part of his assumption, he suddenly felt weak in his knees. Just the thought of being stranded in a place filled with demons was a living nightmare for Tin Ming.
Tin Ming decided to no longer seek for anymore inhabitants and instead he tried to go towards the seemingly more secluded regions to avoid being seen or captured by demons.
But all of this was for naught, in the end this only made him overexert himself and increase his fatigue.
'At this rate.. I would possibly die of hunger than due to demons..', Tin Ming chuckled as he lay weakly on the ground, staring at the beautiful moons overhead.
At this moment, Tin Ming felt… It would perhaps not be too bad to die under the beautiful moonlit skies which felt as if portrayed out of an artistic scenery.
Tin Ming's thoughts were interrupted as the space in front of him cracked open like an egg-shell and a blonde-haired man seemingly in his 20s stepped out from it. The man had a small crown on his head, with a white-glittering gem embedded into it.
At a glance Tin Ming felt that this was a fellow human! But when he saw the small pointed horns jutting out of his temples, he knew he was wrong and felt a sense of existential crisis.
”Please..please spare me.”, Tin Ming choked out, he was not a fool. If someone could crack open space, he was definitely a supreme expert. To such a person, Tin Ming was no different than an ant that could be pinched to death anytime.
Grivin had a frown on his face as he looked at the weak human before him, ”You disappoint me. Has human race deteriorated so much that they have no experts left and sent in a mere mortal?”
.
Suddenly he started laughing out, ”Maybe that's to be expected, since our Sovereign single-handedly wiped out an entire generation of your human experts that year!”
.
Grivin then went forward and placed his foot on top of Tin Ming's head, ”Little bug, this noble here is one of the five Demon Kings of Valhalla, Grivin Vorkas! Consider it your honor that I had to personally come here to fetch you as I have been ordered to present you before our Sovereign.”
