We made it to the gates of Inferno, and there I looked at the two.
"Here we go." I said as I opened the gates.
Once opened, the scenery was not what I imagined it.
Why was this supposed underworld... frozen?
"Dante what is this?" I asked as her eyes widened.
"I-I Don't know!" She said as I then stepped forwards.
We were greeted by a demonic hound who seemed to have been frozen in place.
"Heh I bet this guy got frozen before he could re-" Before I could finish my sentence the hound broke free and began looking at us.
"Good morning buddy! Umm.. Don't mind us! We're just passing by!" I said as the other two who seemed scared nodded.
"Hmm?" The hound spoke.
IT SPOKE.
"I do have to ask, Who did this though?" I asked as he replied.
"Hmmm...." He pointed to the left.
As we looked there we saw the place frozen from top to bottom.
Demons, monsters and humans. all of them frozen in place.
the source? it was a palace in the middle which seemed to be unaffected by the freezing spell.
"Can we get there?" I asked as the hound nodded.
I have to say... this hound seemed very intelligent.
"So why won't you attack us?" I asked as he shrugged.
"Okay... Thank you!" I said as I looked at the other two and then we continued walking.
once we reached the front of the castle, I knocked.
"Hello? Is anyone home?" I asked as the other two looked at me.
"Are you serious?" Dante asked as I nodded.
She sighed as she then pulled out her paper and pen and wrote something, I don't know what she wrote but the moment she put a full stop, The door of the castle opened.
"Oh you wrote that it would open? Great!" I said as I then looked at them.
"You guys stay here, I'll handle whatever's there okay? If I need help I'll shout and you'll come." I said as I closed the door behind me and entered the castle.
It had such a beautiful interior, being furnished and decorated well.
There was even paintings from artists of Humanity.
"Huh? The Lona Lisa? That's really a rip off of the Mona Lisa!" I said as Suddenly a butler appeared in front of me and said.
"Careful what you say about the madam." He said as I got startled.
"Wah! Where did you come from?!" I asked as he then replied.
"I was right behind you hearing your awful loud commentary." He said as I then looked at him.
"Hm? You kinda look like Haruki..." I said As I eyed him up and down, He was the same height and same hair and eye color...
------ Haruki pov -------
Whilst walking in the Jungle I suddenly sneeze.
"Achoo!" I said as Luna looked at me curiously.
"Are you okay?" She asked as I nodded.
"I just felt like Someone was talking about me just now..."
------ End of Pov ---------
"Are you here to see madam Lona?" He asked as I quickly nodded.
"Also I don't know who this Haruki Suou is." He said as I sighed. He then gestured for me to follow him.
He took me to the throne room there I saw a figure of a Woman.
She had beautiful long silver hair, eyes that were redder than blood itself and redder than the crimson moon, followed by the beautiful long black dress she was wearing with its decoration.
This girl was truly what I'd call the meaning of perfection, She's so pretty that I was almost speechless.
Her smile which could bring mountains down was now in front of my eyes as she then opened her mouth, her voice was like a melody so harmonic... How did such a girl end up in here?
"Speak, My dear guest." She spoke, and I felt my heart blow up to bits and pieces from this.
I quickly got myself to focus as I then replied.
"Yes Your majesty." I bowed as I continued talking.
"I wish to kill the enemies in Inferno." I said as her brow was raised looking at me as she wondered what I had in mind.
"How will you a swordsman, do this?" She asked as I explained.
"Now may I know how you ended up here My queen?" I asked respectfully as she then replied.
"Well, I'm interested in you, Boy. Anyways... how i got here? I blame it all on that man... That traitor...." She muttered as I then asked.
"Traitor?" As she replied.
"Virgil." my eyes widened at that.
"Virgil trapped you here?" I asked as she nodded.
Damn you Tsukasa... I cursed internally as I remembered that Tsukasa was playing the role of Virgil right now.
Now that I think about It... Who even am I supposed to be?
"So here's the thing your Majesty..." I said as I then explained the Virgil and Tsukasa situation as she simply laughed.
"I see.. Well then, it appears there's two Virgils My dear guest." She replied as I then spoke.
"My queen please, Just call me Musashi." I said as she furrowed her brow.
"Musasi? A weird name... But okay."
"Musashi."
"Musasi."
"Musashi."
"Musasi."
"It's Musashi..."
"Okay Musasi how about you invite your friends inside and you can spend the night here."
It's Musashi damn you woman!!!
"Alright your majesty. I appreciate it." I said as She smirked.
I left to go bring the others.
------ Lona's POV --------
Hehehehe! A new slave!!! yaahaha!
I'm so excited to see How long you'll last in this hellish ice inferno... Musashi.
Oh no! I can't help but be blushing out of excitement... hehe.. This is truly turning me on...
