Assassination Through the Netherworld
Chapter 60: Mysterious Demoness
"I think we should try to see if the hot knife will go through..."
Vera took her knife within her palm and prepared to heat it up, right now the most cost-effective method they have to test their way out of this mess is to simply heat up the knife until it was scalding hot.
The Rose Eagle Thorn didn't seem to mind this.
'Can you help in any way!?' She asked her knife, perhaps this thing has some magical qualities or something.
'...' But the knife seemed to be deeply asleep!
'Piece of junk!' This damned thing is too unreliable, all it does is scream kill this, kill that... it hasn't even stated the conditions... well, she also hasn't gone past the hurdle.
"Okay, here..." Sasha's actions startled Vera when she seemingly took a bone out of her boots.
"Where did you get that...?" Those were the only words she could utter as the demoness passed her the piece of bone that had been obviously 'chewed'.
"I pulled it out of your mouth, miraculously..." Sasha sighed and prepared to take out some sollux that she coated on the bone meticulously.
"... sorry." The beauty apologised for the hundredth time, truly ashamed that someone had to pull a bone out of her mouth as if she was a wild hound.
"We can light it up and have something that burns, that way we won't waste so much sollux." Sasha explained and prepared to light up the bone, with that, until the bone consumed they could use this fire.
*RUMBLE!!*
A shockwave seamlessly spread through the entire corridor the moment the fire lit up, and they could witness with their eyes how the vines rustled in fear!
*WOOSH!*
They seemed to visually 'shake' in front of this fire!
"Let's do it!" This sign was enough for Vera to want to give it a try straight away, she placed the Rose Eagle Thorn a top of the fire for a few minutes until the blade was shining hot, surprisingly, she felt her entire body get hotter but not to a painful degree.
Leaving this up for later she tried to cut the vine with the knife, and it did cut, but it is still way slower than the method they used before.
"It cuts better, but it's just going to make it longer..." Vera sighed and kept cutting several other rustling branches, unaware of the danger creeping through the darkness, the Mahogany Tree wasn't going to let itself be cut so easily by a filthy human and a demoness.
"Cut a few branches and light them up, we ca- CAREFUL!" Sasha, who had been trying to utter something glared at the sudden 'limb' that protruded from the root-covered intersection, it was trying to impale Vera's head!
*WOOSSH!!*
!!!!
*BAANGG!!*
The root impacted heavily against the corridor's wall, even denting some of the bricks!
"JUST THROW THE BOTTLE, WE WILL SEE HOW ELSE WE CAN DO IT LATER!"
*SPLASH!*
*WHOOSSH!!*
Sasha did as Vera said, throwing the bottle of sollux against the viny corridor that quickly lit up in hellish fire.
This time, however, Vera was smarter, she can go through the pain indeed, but she wouldn't if she could help it!
"Let's wait and see if it will keep burning on its own... I was anxious last time, but we can't waste resources no matter what."
Sasha nodded but as they kept regarding the burning corridor, one of those wooden 'golems' formed amidst the roots!
"GROAAAA..."
The creature immediately started to burn, but its roots tried to take out the fire!
"STOP IT!"
*SLASH!!*
The two girls charged at the burning corridor as Vera tried to cut the creature's scalding limbs, burning herself in the process... Sasha too tried to do it, but her sword wasn't doing as much damage as Vera's.
She gave the girl a sharp glare as they kept cutting,
*RUMBLE!*
Vera didn't notice how a black fire covered Sasha's sword due to the dark of the corridor and even with the light coming from the fire, it wasn't enough for her to notice!
*SLASH!!*
"WHOAAAA!!"
The moment the seductress cut again, this time she cut the entire vine, having it fall on the ground... but her sword started to slowly melt under the might of this black fire.
'Too weak... I can't use it much...' She threw Vera another glare, the latter was focused on cutting the vines even as sparkles of scalding burning wood fell on their bodies.
"It's good, let's just kill the creatures when they appear, the corridor will turn on itself, Vera..." She pulled an anxious Vera, not allowing the latter to become a ball of fire again, destroying her clothes.
The Russian lady sighed and started to take the pieces of scalding wood and throw them forward, trying to keep the fire alive, indeed, this is a better method, but a lengthier one, who knows how long it will take to go through a single corridor like this?
She saw the bodies on the ground, contorting in pain, there were dozens...
"Get the crystals... if it happens that we have to come out to get more sollux, we're going to need money..." Sasha asserted and Vera nodded in acknowledgement, indeed... she doesn't have any more money.
The two girls carried on with their path, looking for a pair of humans amidst the possibly millions, or dozens of millions...
**

Two weeks had taken place, their resources are almost finished, they had only two bottles left and no bombs... Vera's tears have dried and she slept on Sasha's lap.
Today she found a couple that resembled Valentine and Fayette, but it wasn't them... they obtained so many crystals and cores from trapped demons that they no longer fit in the backpack.
But the ones they're after, haven't been found.
'W-Why? why is it so difficult to find you...' Sasha grit her teeth as her two horns seemed to shine.
"HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO TORTURE THEM!?"
She shouted to the desolate alleyways... it sounded as if she was complaining to the mahogany tree as if she was letting her feelings out on the accursed tree that's torturing them, but... why?
"..." As expected, no one answered her rant.
"THAT'S ALL YOUR RIDICULOUS FAITH IS WORTH! SHE HAS FAITH IN YOU, AND LOOK! NOTHING! JUST LIKE ALWAYS!"
"..."
She mocked her own stupidity, why would she even try to speak to 'him'? he's too lofty for individuals such as them, forsaken ones that can only run through these bloody alleyways with a decaying hope.
She felt so much wrath, she can't find the person she was looking for, and Vera keeps talking about faith, about how she's faithful that they will find them.
Isn't she aware of the odds?
There should be billions of corridors! from the primordial times of hell, people being tortured in here for eternity, how are they supposed to find just two people!
She came here with that objective, but even someone like her is starting to lose the light...
"Back then... I don't regret having forsaken your altar... profaning it! I was right, you don't answer pleas of aid, back then... 'that fool' had cheated! IT WASN'T YOU! I DON'T REGRET IT ONE BIT!"
She shouted her complaint to the skies, to this alleyways, to the mahogany tree, perhaps even to the Demon King.
And this time, Sasha was bound to be surprised for eternity as her eyes flickered in utter astonishment.
!!!!!
"YOU WILL, JEZEBEL."

When Vera woke up, the first thing she saw was the underside of Sasha's big chest.
She rubbed her eyes again, not understanding... the second thing she witnessed was the latter's astonished eyes.
How long had it been? for some reason, Sasha looks a little 'perturbed'.
"Sasha? are you okay?" She asked with concern, this is the first perturbed expression she has conceived in the purple-skinned seductress as if she just saw a ghost.
"..."
"Sasha?" She frowned further when she didn't respond, but her worries were short-lived.
"A-Ah... Vera..."
"Is everything alright? you look scared..." Vera raised up from her lap, moving her head back and fro, looking for threats.
"It's o-okay... let's go, we can't waste time." Sasha rubbed her head, moving her thoughts away from the words she heard a few hours ago.
'It had been just a few words, why am I so worked up?' She grits her teeth in front of the still bewildered Vera.
"We only have two bottles left... after this... we can't stay here anymore... also, more creatures are appearing now than before."
"... I know, but we have to keep going... so far we have only cleared thirty corridors... that's nowhere near enough." Vera took a bottle and prepared to follow the standard procedure.
They would cut a branch, coat it with sollux, lit it up and throw it to the vines, splash some more and the fire would spread... then they would try to cut down the creatures that popped up trying to clear the fire.
...
They kept following this until the last bottle became apparent, but then... the miracle happened, only that they didn't know at that time.
A door... there is a door in the wall.
Vera and Sasha looked at one another, this door had been inside this corridor, and in this corridor, there wasn't a single body.
"W-What should we do, Sasha...?" Vera was actually scared, this is the first corridor they have seen that has a door, it looked like an old wooden door and roots could be seen creeping from the edges, rustling.
It looked eerie and terrifying.
"I don't know... you decide." Sasha grit her teeth, aware of what this represents and anger seeped through her bones as 'his' words revered in her mind.
'YOU WILL....'
Vera took her knife within her palm and prepared to heat it up, right now the most cost-effective method they have to test their way out of this mess is to simply heat up the knife until it was scalding hot.
The Rose Eagle Thorn didn't seem to mind this.

Even if they meet a demon, she might have to store the core instead of eating it this time, the beauty soured at the thought, portraying the knife's feelings.The two girls carried on with their path, looking for a pair of humans amidst the possibly millions, or dozens of millions...
