After a brief, heavy silence, Colonan the jailer fully adjusted his mindset and emotions.

He cast aside his anxiety and panic, setting about the task at hand. His movements were still a bit stiff, but gradually became methodical and orderly. The atmosphere in the office also began to shift, becoming more harmonious and organized.

Three resurrectionist priests remained by the warden's side, like professional debt collectors. They would only turn their attention elsewhere once the warden ensured things were handled as quickly as possible.

"I am working as fast as I can to take care of everything for you. Please rest assured."

Corlan, the warden, buried his head in a stack of papers, carefully signing and stamping each one to ensure every detail was in order. His pace quickened, his words coming out faster as he waited with an air of pleading.

After giving these several interns a top-notch evaluation, he made an additional note: "The interns were too outstanding. At the interns' request, he will make an exception and allow the intern jailers to enter the inner sanctum of the prison."

Immediately, Kolendan hurried to hand the documents over to the three resurrection priests.

The priest took it, rushed to Huberlian's side, and presented it with both hands.

"Master Milien, please review this."

The Overlord Priestess spoke in a low voice, asking.

No problem.

Huberly took it with tears, checked and confirmed.

The priest once again respectfully took back the documents and handed them to Corlan, the warden, ordering him to input these files into the magical device that connected to the Helm's Deep prison.

Hughbert witnessed all of this.

It is indeed easy.

He even understood how easy and pleasant it was to be a high-ranking figure in the Cult of Rebirth within the Protoss Empire.

But she felt that even if she put aside the fact that she was a priestess of the Goddess of Destiny, the graduation internship assignment from school shouldn't have been so coercive, forcing him to do it.

I hope that by then the Ice Queen will still be willing to listen to her explanation.

> Two minutes passed.

Everything is settled, we can move on now.

After completing the formalities, the Warden of Corlan stood up, his posture slightly awkward. He personally invited the few probationary guards to leave.

When he spoke to Huberlian, it was almost an attitude of seeking guidance.

Because all three villains obeyed her command, and that very ominous black-haired girl with green eyes was also led by her.

It is quite clear that Miss Millicent Milford is the ringleader of this gang of scoundrels.

"Take us to the teleport hall, please."

Huperlyan now wants to say nothing.

Gentlemen, this way.

Colonel Warden gestured to several trainee guards to follow him as he left his office, then led them through the long corridors of the prison.

These corridors seemed deep and quiet. On both sides of the walls hung some scrolls and lighting lamps, emitting a soft light that illuminated their path forward.

Colonel warden walked in front, occasionally turning back to make sure the student correctional officers were keeping up. He also inadvertently revealed a friendly attitude hoping to mend previous misunderstandings, offering some tips about Hurlom Prison or simple greetings.

Although his efforts may not completely erase the awkwardness and discomfort caused before, this change in attitude at least shows to some extent his sincerity.

"…"

This all makes Huberlian feel even more tormented.

She believes that the Snow Queen, who is watching her now, is also suffering greatly in this high-latitude space. She even doubts her own life, feeling that the disciple she personally cultivated could not be like this.

Soon after, a group arrived at the prison's transfer hall.

In the center of the vast hall on a raised platform stood a gigantic void portal. Its framework, composed of mineral crystals in shades of deep gray, was adorned with enigmatic ancient runes. The central, deep purple mirror-like surface shimmered with an ethereal and mesmerizing light.

Corlandan the jailer stepped onto the steps before the teleportation portal, taking his master key from the inside pocket of his coat.

He gently slotted it into the control panel beside the portal. The crystal key meshed with the slot, and the portal’s glow pulsed with a faint tremor before bursting to brilliance.

If you guys go the normal way down, you just need to complete the assessment at Level -3 to choose to leave. If you directly leave the outer layer and reach Level -4, you can only go all the way to Level -6 before you can safely leave the prison. As for the bottom three levels, neither the inmates nor the wardens are normal people down there. Even Warden Barcas wouldn't want to step foot in those three levels easily. I've already made sure to explain the risks to you guys. If any of you encounter any accidents, I haven't done anything to harm you.

Colonel Dandelion cautioned them carefully, emphasizing the point several times and after observing their reactions, recorded this exchange with a recording crystal.

Helmer Prison, with its outer layer from level -1 to -3 and inner layer from level -4 to -6, is essentially equivalent to two prisons.

From the fourth layer down, even if you don't come into contact with the prisoners, simply being on that level poses a grave danger to your life.

"Understood."

Huperbly nodded in response.

Even before the Protoss Empire rose, she had heard the Ice Witch recount the terrifying levels of power held by the three imprisoned demon lords.

The lower three levels of Helrom Prison, located in the former Demon Realm, were once restricted areas used for the important ritual known as "Great Demon Trial." Every certain period, the magic formations and prisoners on these three levels would be exchanged and transferred. Therefore, before entering, one couldn't know what awaited them between levels -4 and -6.

The only thing that can be certain is that they were all wonders built from the magical arts of the ancient Demon Realm.

The Snow Queen believes that Hyberlian, as Iphithea's daughter, should also be a member of the Demon Lord race and her aptitude shouldn't be inferior.

Although Hellsrom has been refurbished, reducing its danger by over 90%, guards entering won't encounter the perils akin to ancient demon rituals. However, if one insists on courting death, they can still trigger the Great Demon Race Trial.

If a demon clan member can rely on themselves, independently achieve the extremely harsh conditions, through a major demon trial, or obtain the loyalty of a major demon, they will receive a title soul imprint.

Among these, nine fixed titles are the marks of the nine great demon tribe trials.

And whenever a great demon gains a unique title for themselves, they will have the opportunity to bestow a title imprint upon another demon.

A century ago, the demon realm had nine different trials for large demons. After the war, they were split and placed in several locations. Hellerom Prison's fourth to sixth lower levels were built from three of these trials.

The rest have either been destroyed or are irretrievably lost.

Among the nine trials, four test one's character, four test one's martial prowess, and one tests the recognition of one's ancestral spirit.

To become a Great Demon, one must possess three marks, including at least one of the heart and at least one of the power. This grants them authority over ordinary demons, inducing submission. Moreover, their innate demonic magic will unlock the path to ultimate evolution.

If any of the three marks contain the Ancestral Soul Trial, or gain recognition from the current Demon King, one will further receive a title.

Otherwise, even if they become a Great Demon Clan, they will be an unacknowledged "Nameless Great Demon" by the Demon Clan.

Six marks, the demonic race's characteristics will also undergo metamorphosis, that is, approaching the qualifications of a demon king.

Any demon who reaches nine marks is known as a quasi-demon lord. If there are no other competitors in the same era, then it becomes the Demon Lord.

Only the Demon King has special attacks and command bonuses against other demons.

Today is the fourth update!
