This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"So what are you going to do here, Master~~?"

She stretched the last word and said with a seductive tone but Arthur ignored her and transformed back into Buo Buo.

Unlike Fariya, the chief guard of the third level is an annoying and close-minded angel and checks the prisoners on every floor each month. He also terribly dislikes, no, he abhors demons, including Fariya so their relationship is straight-up hostile. In fact, from what the succubus said, she did clash with the angel a few times but Habs would interfere and separate them.

"If I step foot into his floors, he's bound to appear. Though he has made a few deals with Buo in the past."

Arthur thought for a moment before saying: "If I kill him, his absence will quickly be noticed. Is there any way to bypass him?"

The person in question is called Erandil, an eight-winged angel, who can be described as a prick. He's a bit stronger than Fariya, but now that her stats increased after becoming Arthur's slave, she's certain she can handle him and even kill him but their fight will attract attention.

Furthermore, Erandil has high awareness and his three floors are blinded with angels. The master and the slave spent some time talking and thinking of a plan and, finally, they found a plan which may work.

Half an hour later, Fariya appeared on the 7th floor while dragging a chained prisoner behind her. A smile was blossoming on her beautiful face as she winked at the angels, who, despite being majestic beings, weren't able to resist her charm, especially the males. They would get flustered and instinctively look away, in fact, they didn't even try to stop her as she seemed to be escorting someone.

Unfortunately, the chief guard showed himself less than a minute after her arrival. He was a tall angel with eight golden wings curled up behind his back, he had a long golden hair that rested on his shoulders and his face didn't suit his race. He was expressionless as he glared at Fariya then at the prisoner with an unusual appearance.

Hostility and killing intent emanated from his eyes as he looked at Arthur, who had the appearance of a Devil. The parasite managed to retrieve one of the devil corpses on the 49th floor of the Red Tower, however, he got no stats or skills, surprisingly. Nevertheless, his appearance was more enough to rile up Erandil's emotions.

"What's this?"

He sternly questioned the smiling succubus, who lightly pulled the chains, causing Arthur to stagger a few steps to the front.

"I'm escorting him to the fourth level, where he belongs."

"Oh?" Erandil frowned as he marched toward the devil and examined him from head to toe before speaking: "I'll do it. Go back to your level!"

He was about to snatch the chains from Fariya only for her to pull her hand away and retorting: "The Warden personally instructed me to do it. If you have any objections, go to him."

Not only was Erandil in bad terms with Fariya, but he also didn't get along with the Warden, who was a human. Erandil considered himself superior and righteous and didn't approve of many things Habs had done in the past. Sadly, when he tried objecting, he would only get beaten by Habs and punished by Heaven, who ordered him to always obey the Warden.

"…"

The blond-haired angel glared at the succubus, his eyes never drifting toward her revealed curves and seductive parts. He seemed immune to her charm as a domineering aura emanating from him, apparently, he wanted to use force but he was startled as the succubus released an energy that overwhelmed his pressure and caused him to take a step back.

"Stick to your duties, Erandil."

Unlike how she interacted with others, Fariya hated the angel to the bones and wasn't interested in charming him, much less talking to him.

Arthur quietly watched their interactions without saying anything, though he was prepared to act in case things go awry. Erandil was focused on the succubus so he made a move, he was confident in dealing a fatal blow to the angel, however, that will only complicate his plans. Furthermore, there were a few angels not far from here and they would sound the alarm before he can reach them.

Angels were telepathically connected so a single thought from one of them would alert the rest and that would result in the prison going into complete lock down. Plus, the most fearful person, Habs, would come here within minutes.

Fariya repeatedly told him that the Warden is really a terrifying person. He's much stronger than all the chief guards and is a merciless person, but he wasn't downright evil and his goal was to reach Heaven and spread his fame. Actually, Habs originated from the Demon Realm, which part of the reason Heaven didn't invite him despite his astonishing accomplishments and godly powers.

At most, Arthur could fight equally with an Exalted God at the Transcendent Stage, maybe even kill him. If Habs is stronger than that then breaking out Midolf and Radolf would be impossible, especially if he's discovered now.

Half a minute of silence passed before Erandil stepped to the side, indicating that Fariya could pass. The succubus snorted and dragged the chained Arthur, not bothering to spare the angel another glance.

Unsurprisingly, Erandil followed up till the end of the 9th floor, his piercing gaze was glued onto Arthur until the latter disappeared from his view.

"I can't stand him." Said Fariya while loosening her grip of the chains.

"I'm not surprised."

"Ra'zi is the chief guard of the fourth level. Even if he feels my presence, he won't do anything. Unless there's an urgent matter, he'll never show himself, and as there are only a few prisoners here, he doesn't have to personally take care of them."

The 10th, 11th, 12th floor have a few dozen prisoners, which were infamous criminals and had great cultivations or amassed a lot of stars. They are weakened now, of course, but they are still extremely dangerous so all of them are tightly chained and are allowed to move only once a month, and only for a few hours.

"I can only you take you to the end of the 12th floor, the last lev-"

Fariya stopped talking and looked behind her. Arthur halted his steps and was looking at one particular small cell, which had one human in it. He had thin build, dirty skin, and orange shirt and pants, similar to the one the prisoners on earth wear. What surprised Arthur was that this man was a mortal! He was sure of it and his eyes confirmed his suspicions. He had no cultivation, No lvl, or anything related to that.

The succubus knitted her brows and whispered: "That's Edward Ortberg, a serial killer."

"A serial killer? What's he doing here?"

"He has a special soul so it wasn't able to put it in Hell so he ended up here, eternally being imprisoned. As he's a mortal, he's constantly starving but cannot die, that is the punishment declared by Heaven."

"Why is he on the 12th floor though?"

The succubus' expression turned serious as she stated: "Master, he's more dangerous than he looks. He even led the previous chief guard of the fourth level to his death using only words! Compared to other evil races, which kill thousands of innocents, he only killed 48 humans but he's very intelligent and calculative."

Just as she finished speaking, the serial killer, Edward, lazily raised his head and opened his sleepy eyes. He glanced at the succubus then at Arthur before returning to his uncomfortable sleep, his rumbling stomach could be heard from meters away!

'Appraisal!'

*Edward Ortberg (Race: Human): Cultivation: none

Lv: None

Titles: Psychopath / Strategist / Sinner / The High-way Killer/ Chess master / Heaven's Mandate Soul Holder

Short info : A notorious killer who killed 48 humans between 1980 and 2004. He turned himself three times and escaped the prison three times. In the end, Heaven sent angels to apprehend him and throw him into Hell but as a holder of the Heaven's mandate Soul, he couldn't be put in Hell so he was put here as an eternal sinner.

'Heaven's Mandate? Do you know anything about it?'

"Of course I do, master!" The Quad-Spirit seemed more surprised than we he saw Shen Shen's soul.

"The Heaven Mandate Soul is the purest and holiest of souls. It does not have any effect on one's Physique but it is able to absorb and harness Primordial Energy, furthermore, it can automatically convert any kind of energy into its purest form, allowing the user to get stronger ten or even twenty times faster than average people. It is known as a gift bestowed only by 'God' and, usually, its holders are known as 'Heroes'. Angels revere and respect those with the Heaven Mandate's soul and do their best to invite them to Heaven."
