The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

After reading it, Dekan had a general understanding of the situation of this demonic prison.

The prison is shaped like a funnel, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and has nine levels.

Except for the first level, where one can return to the ground with the guidance of the demon, all other levels can only be traversed downwards and cannot be returned to the previous level.

Even eighth-tier magic couldn't shake the prison's barrier in the slightest.

Therefore, the prisoners imprisoned on the first floor and below had absolutely no way to break out.

However, there is another special way to return to the surface of the Demon Realm.

That means going down from the ninth floor, the lowest level of the prison.

There is a special passage on the ninth floor that leads directly back to the ground.

However, it requires the warden's permission.

The warden was stationed on the ninth floor, guarding another exit of the prison.

Even the prison guards would find it difficult to get out of prison using this method.

Because the danger increases significantly with each level of the prison.

They might have died before even reaching the ninth floor.

Each level has troublesome wardens and unique rules with a devilish flair.

This part is easy to understand.

It's somewhat similar to Demon Academy.

After all, they've all left campus and entered the workforce.

The rules are definitely stricter.

The atmosphere is very good.

Dekan's other companions are probably on the lower floors, and the rescue target "Dark Saintess" is probably on the bottom two floors.

Therefore, Dekan's mission is also very clear: he must go down to rescue his companions and then escape from the ninth floor with the Dark Saintess.

The biggest problem may lie in how to deal with the warden.

The final boss of the seventh-tier shadow world should theoretically be able to reach the ninth tier at most.

The normal methods are definitely not going to win.

Along the way, we also need to gather as much information as possible about the warden.

The information recorded in the pamphlet was very concise, with no other details.

It looks like a memo book for a new employee.

It does not contain anything that should not be written.

Even if this booklet were shown to other demons, they would not doubt that Dekan had the intention to descend deeper and deeper into hell.

However, there probably isn't much information about this prison that can be gathered in the Demon Realm.

After all, according to the system, even prison guards find it difficult to leave the prison once they are hired.

It is highly confidential.

And so, Dekan followed the guiding demon to the first level of this demonic underground prison.

Several large characters were written at the entrance—

Lingbo Hell

They walked through the cages.

Dekan discovered that most of the people imprisoned here were humans and other intelligent beings.

But what they all had in common was that the prisoners on this floor seemed to have little fighting ability.

They didn't look like warriors, nor like slaves meant for labor.

Instead, he has the air of a scholar.

The guiding demon led Dekan to a room with classical decor.

It wasn't until here that it started to resemble the style of a demon academy.

It reminded Dekan of the cozy principal's office.

"Wear it properly. If you lose it, you'll be no different from a prisoner."

The guiding demon handed Dekan a jet-black bracelet and said coldly.

Dekan didn't say much.

I did a quick inspection.

I put the bracelet on my wrist.

Since my identity this time belongs to a regular demon, I can accept these initial guidances with peace of mind for now.

This bracelet is somewhat similar to a pass for entering a prison.

Once you get to the lower levels, you'll probably need this bracelet to prove your status as a prison guard.

"How do I use this bracelet?"

Dekan humbly sought advice.

He was unusually good-tempered today.

"Infuse it with magic, and you will understand."

After the guiding demon finished speaking, he didn't pay much attention to Dekan and sat down at his desk to look at his documents, seemingly very busy with official business.

He must be the warden of this floor.

After all, the authority to open the gates of hell is not something an ordinary jailer should possess.

Dekan infused the bracelet with magic, as instructed by the guiding demon.

Soon, numbers lit up on the bracelet—

【100】

At the same time, Dekan also sensed the rules and map of the first level of the prison he was in through the bracelet.

[You cannot attack other guards on this level of the prison; otherwise, you will lose 50% of your Demon Points or 100 Demon Points each time you attack them, whichever is greater.]

[When your Demon Points are negative, you will be considered a prisoner. Defeating jailers with negative Demon Points will grant you the corresponding number of Demon Points.]

Completing tasks earns Demon Points, which can be used to exchange for resources.

[On the first level of the prison, 100 Demon Points will be automatically deducted daily.]

[To proceed to the second level, you need to pay 1000 Demon Points, or possess the authority of a first-level warden.]

"Does that mean I have to start working today or tomorrow?"

Dekan felt like he had stumbled into a shady company.

Of course, if a company is generous with its work incentives, then it's a conscientious company.

It appears that the number 100 displayed on the bracelet means that you initially have 100 Demon Points.

These "devil points" are somewhat similar to wages.

If you don't hurry up and start working to earn a wage, you'll soon be in the red and your status will change from "jailer" to "prisoner".

Given the devil's nature, once he loses his position as a jailer, the other jailers will definitely try to kill him.

What's worse is that she now possesses such beauty.

It would probably be even more dangerous.

"That's right, go to work."

The guiding demon spoke indifferently, focusing on the documents on his desk, without glancing at Dekan again.

“Go to the interrogation room and find Lars. He’ll teach you how to work today.”

"it is good."

Dekan nodded and left the office.

He did not inquire about any other information for the time being.

He sensed that the guiding demon was getting a little impatient.

There's no need to provoke this high-ranking demon right now.

Dekan then walked along the path from the first floor of the prison to the interrogation room, constantly reminding himself of the things he needed to be careful about in this Shadow World.

"No matter what, my reputation is already bad enough. I absolutely cannot increase the probability of being suspected of being the 'Lord of Calamity'."

Dekan secretly swore an oath.

He was worried that if his reputation continued to decline, he would be unjustly associated with the Lord of Calamity.

This time, he must do good deeds and accumulate merit.

Always remember to be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest; uphold benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness; and be a good devil.

Pshaw, what a good person.

He needs to restrain himself from what he did at the Demon Academy.

All the reputation lost at the Demon Academy must be regained at the Demon Prison this time!

……

"This first level seems pretty safe, quite suitable for a newbie just starting out in the workplace."

Dekan walked along the road, looking around and talking to himself.

He did not find his companions or other challengers on this floor.

After careful observation, Dekan was certain that the people imprisoned on the first floor were just some civilian staff with little combat ability.

However, their existence must be very meaningful to the demon realm.

Demons can learn about human knowledge and information through them.
