'Why do I have a feeling that is Wulin.' Thought Gu Yue as she moves through the hallway.
She has been a lot of skirmish with demons who were attacking each other left from right. In fact, she has already encountered some bloodbaths with none of the demons surviving as the winner would die from too many injuries.
'Is that a ladder? Could I be close to it?' Thought Gu Yue as she saw a latter going down from the hallway she was in.

'Just how many rooms and walls are there.' Thought Tang Wulin in exasperation as he broke through his thirtieth wall and into his tenth room.
"I'm not surprised considering how big this maze is." Said Zeref as he moved beside Tang Wulin.
"Still, I wonder who made this place. The first floor of the maze is so detail."Said Sleipnir with her eyes shining at the texture and patterns of the hallways.
Tang Wulin didn't reply to Sleipnir and simply stomped one foot onto the ground. The entire floor instantly began to rumble as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
The ground that was made out of material that they knew wasn't ordinary, began to crack all over now. Next, it began bursting apart, creating an incredibly huge fissure that extended into every direction as if the earth was breaking and causing the wall around to begin to crack.
"What the hell!"
"Isn't this hallway of Mahal! How the hell is he able to do this!"
"No one should have this kind of strength!"
Were the shouts of the demon that has been following Tang Wulin and his rampage through the maze. At first, he didn't mind them as they were more like a pest than anything threatening but with the constant lack of progress and dead-ends, safe to say he wasn't in the best of mood.
The grounds began breaking apart with the cracks crisscrossing and interweaving between each other. Every single being including Tang Wulin began to fall from the destroyed ground and then, they all landed on another set of floors.
'So there was a second level.' Thought Tang Wulin as he began looking around and ignoring the demons that were starting to stand up with murder in their eyes.
The demons all glance at each other and with a nod began raining down their attacks onto Tang Wulin who was ignoring their existence. They choose to assault him from a distance in fear of being grabbed or hit by one of Tang Wulin punches.
The walls of Mahal weren't something even, the strongest demons in the dungeon could break, let alone the demons surrounding Tang Wulin. But they were confident, that his weakness should be long-range and no way he could endure all of their attacks.
'Let's see how much stuff you have after you're a pile of flesh and blood.'
The demons all choose to work together to eliminate this foe in front of them and then fight to the death for his stuff later.
Boom!
All of the demons were grinning viciously, with some of them already moving to reap the treasure off the dead body of Tang Wulin. One demon began getting close with caution and after still seeing no movements began to become more confident.
'Of course, there is no way, he could have survived all of our attacks. Now let see what h-.'
A hand burst out of the cloud of dust and latched on to the neck of the demon that was close. The demon's eyes were wide with fright and tried to free itself from the hands hold. But to its unspeakable horror found that the hand latching on to its throat was too strong.
"H-How!"
The smoke cleared, allowing the demon to see Tang Wulin but he was unharmed. Tang Wulin said nothing as he held the demon while tapping his chin with his other hand.
A group of around thirty demons attacking him would be dangerous as none of these demons cultivation was weaker than his. In fact, the lowest one he could sense was about one rank higher than him.
Yet all of the damage he received was essentially reduced by 90% because of his Dragon Robe. An Ultra Divine Armor that allowed him to survive attacks from Fefnir and Niddhogg who reached the levels of the god.
The crowd of demons were frightened and had their guards up as they got ready to attack again. They refuse to believe their attacks had no effect on Tang Wulin or more, in fact, they were too scared to believe.
As for the demon who was a capture, it can only blame its luck and greed. As it was too overcome by the thought of taking the treasure or riches that Tang Wulin may have.
Tang Wulin shifted his gaze to the demon in front of him and then glances at the demons behind who were charging up their attacks.
"How many times have you been in this maze?" Questioned Tang Wulin to the demon in his hold.
"W-What!"
The demon was half confused and sacred as it could feel the others getting ready to attack.
"Answer me this, or I will use you as a shield."Said Tang Wulin causing the demon eyes to dilate.
"T-This is my fifth time!" Yelled the demon in fear causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
"Att-."
As the demons were about to attack altogether, Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes and then clench his fist that wasn't holding the demon.
'Calamity Tyrant Dragon Shocks The Heaven.'
Instantly the whole room began shaking and crack as the demonic dragon roared out causing the whole room to rumble. An unbelievable amount of pressure and suppression surge out of Tang Wulin that began to cover the room.
The crowd of demons that were about to unleash their attacks was instantly suppressed and forced to kneel down on the floor. They had their bodies bent with their arm trembling and head lowered down on the ground.
Yet they weren't kneeling out of respect but out of genuine fear that was sown deep into their soul and blood. Their eyes held a gaze that was in utter fear and acceptance as they gaze down at the ground.
The demon in Tang Wulin hand eyes shook as it stared at the godlike existence in front of it. While Tang Wulin looks like this was a walk in the park for him.
"Now, listen up. I will be asking some questions, you all just need to answer."Said Tang Wulin but he receives no answer as the demons were still recalling that terrifying aura that sprouted from him.
"Who knows the way to the hell gate." Questioned Tang Wulin as he recalled the spectral demon not mentioning the hell gate changes or moves.
The demons quickly informed him where the nearest Hell Gate was, as there were numerous ones around with fiends defending the gate. Tang Wulin seeing the crowd shouting out numerous hell gate area and some of them shouting at the same one, he nodded his head.
The demons face started relaxing as they saw Tang Wulin nodding his head. Without any warning, all of the demons were instantly blasted to bits as sixteen demonic dragons burst out from the ground.
Next Tang Wulin clenches his fist and the demon's in his hand turned into a bloody mist. The demons had no way of defending or surviving his devil slayer magic as it was too deadly for them.
Not only does it suppress them but also ignores all of their resistance and durability. Tang Wulin then pivoted his foot after absorbing their soul and began breaking through the crack walls of the room.
"I'm surprised you were able to combine your devil slaying with the divine moves so fast."Said Zeref as he moves next to Tang Wulin.
'The theory and abilities were about the same as the Apocalypse King move set. It was relatively easier as neither of them was trying to suppress the other.' Thought Tang Wulin as he broke through another room.
'In fact, I would say they were trying to help each other.'
"Help each other?" Questioned Zeref as he began furrowing his brows.
He honestly didn't think Devilslayer arts would get along with most powers, especially the Golden Dragon King. Even then, he didn't think it would be as easy as what Tang Wulin was saying.
"It might be because the Golden Dragon King powers are that of ruin and destruction. Both powers could be considered on the dark side or negative spectrum in terms of power. So both of the powers may have created a kinship between each other."Said Sleipnir causing Zeref to nod his head.
"Also maybe because we alter the divine moves to work with the Devil Slayer arts." Said Zeref causing both Sleipnir and Tang Wulin to nod.
To combine his Devil Slayer arts with his Nine Divine Moves, he had to with the help of Zeref rework it. It didn't take too long to do as they only had to change some parts of the foundation to make it work.
Tang Wulin said nothing as he kept plowing through the walls. From what the demons told him back then, he should be approaching the Fiend that guards the hell gate.
'I hope they're strong.' Thought Tang Wulin as his battle lust for a good battle was making his blood boil in excitement.
From what he was told, each floor should have a fiend that guards the hell gate that was strong. Especially the third floors and above since it was able to curb every single challenger from advancing further.
Even the Demon Monarchs couldn't overcome over the third floor and beyond when they themselves undertook the dungeon of Mahal. After a while, Tang Wulin finds himself face to face with a door that was the same as the other but with a silvery-white to it.
'This should be it.' Thought Tang Wulin as he taps on the door causing it to slowly open and then walk in.
As he steps in, he saw a pile of stairs going down. After moving down and coming to a stop as a broad door was in front of him.
"Ahhh!"
Tang Wulin could hear screams on the other side of the door but didn't care as he began moving towards the door. After pushing it open, he was gifted with the view of a vast arena with large pillars around and a blood-filled floor.
Around the floor were bodies that seem to have been recently killed and in the middle of the room was a being with its back turned to him. The being was a skeleton that wore a silvery-white robe and in its hand was a black bow that was letting out an ominous pressure.
The skeleton moved as if it felt the presence of Tang Wulin, shifted its gaze to him and silver fire began to burn merrily in its eyes.
"Welcome Challenger."
"You may call me the Silver Rider."
