Final Test In Hell

The sky above the First Layer of Hell burned in its usual eternal crimson, casting long shadows across the rocky terrain. The heat was oppressive, thick with the scent of sulfur and ash.

Damon, Daveon, and Anaya stood in formation, their bodies rigid with focused anticipation.

Across from them, Miss Leana's piercing gaze swept over them like a final test, her presence a silent reminder of the battles they had fought over the past three weeks.

Their time here was almost up.

Dean Godsthorn had given them three weeks—no more, no less—to train in the First Layer of Hell, and now, with only one day remaining, they had one last mission.

One last challenge.

Miss Leana's voice was steady, unwavering.

"Each of you is to hunt down ten Grade Five demons before nightfall," she announced. "You will return with their essence cores as proof."

A slight breeze stirred the dust at their feet, a rare moment of cool air amidst the infernal heat.
