The Underworld

"Honestly I'm quite bored" Orb said to the system

[Well, we can send you to the underworld]

"You can?" Orb asked as he had heard many rumors about the underworld from people defeated by Fire and Army

[Well, only your elementals though]

[But you can possess a soldier though]

"Ah" Orb sent a message to both Fire and Army and a few hours later they had come to the cave

"Hey, wait a minute-" Quinn saw Fire as Army explained it to Quinn

"Ah" Quinn sighed

"Alright I'm sending you two to the underworld" Orb said to Army and Fire which did not have any objections

"What about me?" Quinn asked

'System?'

[No, living beings are unable to enter the underworld as only undead, dead or demons and in very rare cases angels]

"You cannot come" Orb said

"Stay here for now" Orb ordered and started to send the two and the army into the underworld

"Goodluck" Orb sighed

A few minutes passed as he first life had been obtained and Orb finally took possession of the same soldier, he had taken control of the last few times.

"Alright let's keep going" Army said to Fire who did not care

Soon they came across another demon imp in which Orb showed off great skills quickly dispatching the imp.

Soon however they came across a Lesser Demon...

A lesser demon most of the time had their own imps for either being able to devour and evolve from a lesser demon into a half demon.

[You are in for a hard battle]

"You think?" Orb asked despite not meaning it

[I must warn you Lesser Demons can use fire... please proceed with caution]

"Got it"

Soon they started fighting.

The magician and Fire were flinging multiple fireballs at the lesser demon who took slight damage but was setback. Orb used the fire dagger he had to stab the lesser demon in the leg restricting movement and agility.

The army took spot of this weak spot and used their greater speed to maneuver and attack the backside of this lesser demon.

But it was not that easy as they had lost a soldier after they were attacked by a surprise attack fireball neutralizing the soldier.

The lesser demon was low with magic fireballs distracting the lesser demon and with the wound in its leg that was restricting movement and the weapons on fire made it at least slightly more comfortable to take down this lesser demon which did happen after a few minutes.

[10p has been added]

"Hmm? Why ten?" Orb asked

[Life is not such as when you take a life but how many lives the target has consumed and turned into its own energy]

[8 - 9 - 19]

"Alright let us begin the conquest" Orb smiled

A few hours passed

[19 - 87] [34 from Fire] [53 from Army]

[Fire has reached Mortal 3]

[Would you like to select an upgrade for Fire?]

"What about Army?" Orb was confused

[Well, you need the lives at ready but since you used the lives before you cannot for now]

"... So, if I spend the lives then I cannot use the spent lives to upgrade an elemental?" Orb confirmed

[Yes]

"Fine, let me select"

[Brighter Fire, Sin cleanse, or Red Fire]

"Please?" Orb asked

[Brighter fire gives the fire a major boost in attack potency causing greater destructive capacity at the price of having the flame lifespan being shorter the usual]

[Sin cleanse means that the more sins one had done or being a creature of evil or dark the flames will cause greater damage and intense pain but is ineffective against righteous/good innocents or creatures that are of good/light origin]

'Wait' Orb saw a large mistake in the sin cleanse

'What about if a good creature like an angel does a sin?'

[Any good/light side creatures if done a sin will become a dark counterpart of said creature's origin and vice-versa for evil creatures]

"Ah"

[Red Flame will boost the flame's attack potency/destructive capacity by 15% a more minor effect against the 95% boost by Brighter Fire, but unlike brighter fire there is no side effect of worse lifespan]

"Hmm" Orb decided

"Go for brighter fire" As the moment Orb said this, Fire's flames brightened as the flames started to surround Fire in a silhouette of an aura but almost as if whatever that enters the silhouette will be burnt to a crisp

"Woah" Orb saw the light up, but the army marched on

A few more hours passed as the new stats looked like this

[147p] [61 is from Fire] [86 is from Army]

[Fire/Army has reached Mortal 4]

[Would you like to select an upgrade?]

"Yes"

[+4 Soldiers and +2 Archers, better armor, or +2 Wolf riders]

[Fire Hail, Lava Beam, or Compact Fire]

[ire hail unleashes countless small fore bolts (50) that have a tenth of a fireball's power from the sky causing crowd control and Area of effect, Lava beam unleashes a small stick thick beam made from lava that has the power of five fireballs into a small compact beam, Compact fire will compact fire in small versions of themselves getting rid of a bit of mana waste allowing for better mana life]

Orb had chosen more soldiers and archers for the Orb army and gave Fire Lava beam.

Another few hours passed as soon the points racked up a lot and soon Mortal 5 was in reach

[185p] [107p is from Army] [78p is from Fire]

[Fire/Army has reached Mortal 5]

[+1 Paladin and +2 Priests, +7 Soldiers, or +4 Archers]

[+2 Fire Clones, Greater Fire Damage, or Lava Armor]

"+1 Paladin and +2 Priests, also +2 Fire Clones" Orb said

The large army was quite great as the paladin and priests obtained from the fire god Kagutsuchi of Japanese origin for some reason.

But a large strike happens
