"Ughh"
Alfonso touched his head; he felt a little dizzy.
"What… what happened?"
"Alfonso, you are finally awake!" Said A voice near him.
He turned and saw a small kid with a pair of dog ears.
"Cerberus?"
"Yes, yes! Its me!" Said Cerberus.
"Where is Dante?" Asked Alfonso.
"I don't know, when I woke up, he wasn't here" Said Cerberus.
"Where are we?" Asked Alfonso.
"Well…"
"You, if you awake now, then be on your way, I will get in trouble if they discover that I help you" Said a voice from behind Alfonso.
Alfonso turned and saw someone looking at him.
"Tha- thanks for helping us… ummm…"
"The name is Lucy" Said the person.
Alfonso looked at his surroundings, he saw a pair of rusty chairs and a wooden table. Alfonso looked at the dirty clothes of the person named Lucy.
He took out a few golden coins and put in the hand of Lucy.
"Excuse me, can you help us a little, we want to know more about this place" Said Alfonso.
Lucy looked at the golden coins on her hand and she quickly put it on her pocket.
She took out her hood revealing a golden long hair and a pair of blue eyes.
"Okay, you help me, so I will help you, but first, we have to do something with your auras" Said Lucy.
"Auras?" Asked Cerberus.
"Obviously you are not death, you at least" Said Lucy while looking back at Alfonso.
"As for you… I don't know what to say, you have a lot of life soul aura… too much for even a champion…"
"But…"
Lucy looked at Alfonso's leg.
"You have a dense aura of death on your left side, too dense for a someone who is alive"
"Really, what the hell are you?" Asked Lucy.
Alfonso was confused by Lucy's words.
"The life essence comes from the pendant that Gea gave me back them, also, the aura of Demeter also produces a lot of life particles"
"I always knew that my leg was wasted but… than shouldn't generate death particles… what is going on?"
"I am just a normal human being" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.
"Haa~ If you want to lie, then at least say something more believable, if you are just a normal human then I am the monarch himself" Said Lucy.
"A-Anyway, can you tell us, where are we?" Asked Cerberus.
"You don't know? You are in Gluttony City, the capital of the first circle in the Underworld" Said Lucy.
"Gluttony city?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yep, everyone here is a 'glutton', so we are sentenced to suffer hunger for the rest of eternity, I haven't eaten in about three thousand years" Said Lucy.
"Three…three thousand…" Alfonso was astonished.
"Our stomach's acids destroy our organs from inside, and when all of our organs are destroyed, they reconstruct themselves and the cycle continues"
"How do you survive?" Asked Alfonso.
"We all have our days, for instance, my organs just restored so I have about one or two months before I lost my sanity" Said Lucy.
"…" Alfonso was speechless.
"Let's go to a friend of mine, he will camouflage your auras" Said Lucy.
"Ah, before we go, did you see someone else with us? A tall guy with black hair?" Asked Alfonso.
"No, I found you two alone" Said Lucy.
Alfonso looked at Cerberus but he just shook his head.
"Well, we will find him eventually" Though Alfonso.
"Don't talk and don't look at anyone, and, whatever your see, do not make any exaggerate reaction" Warned Lucy.
She walked towards the wardrove and took out two clothes
"Take these, don't take them off" Said Lucy while passing the clothes to Alfonso and Cerberus.
Alfonso and Cerberus put the clothes on and followed Lucy.
"Let's go" Said Lucy.
She opened the door and walked calmly.
Alfonso and Cerberus walked off and Alfonso turned around. He saw and old house that was about to fall apart.
He looked at the skies and saw a red sun.
"Red sun?" Asked Alfonso.
"You get used to it eventually, but don't look at it too much" Said Lucy.
"Why?" Asked Cerberus.
"Because it looks back to you" Said Lucy.
*Gulp*
Cerberus turned and walked with his head down.
There were wither trees everywhere, and the path was gloomy and dark. Alfonso and Cerberus felt a strange sense of sadness just by looking at the scene.
"This place was made to induce despair in people's hearts, basically, to lose every single shred of hope you have left" Said Lucy.
"Hell indeed" Though Alfonso.
They walked through the wither forest for about three hours.
"Hey, how long are we going to walk?" Asked Cerberus.
"We are about to get there, see, you can see the city from here" Said Lucy.
Alfonso and Cerberus walked until they saw a huge city.
"What kind of material are the walls made of? They are black and red" Said Alfonso.
"Its made with the soul and flesh of thousands of people" Said Lucy.
"Flesh!?" Asked Cerberus.
"Yeah, those who are unlucky enough to get caught by the rippers, get their soul extracted and the body becomes an empty shell that is the perfect material for the walls" Said Lucy.
"Why would people even come here? Why live in this hellish city?" Asked Alfonso.
"Because this is the only place in all the first circle that you can eat" Said Lucy with a bitter smile.
"You can get food there?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yes, Gluttony City has the only…mmm… how should I call them… restaurant… yes… restaurant in all the first circle" Said Lucy.
"Oh? And what kind of food do they sell?" Asked Alfonso.
"Well… the most expensive ones are fruits and meat that have a lot of death aura" Said Lucy.
"However, almost nobody can afford them, usually, the customers only go there to satisfy the hunger… so they get the cheapest food there" Said Lucy.
"And what is the cheapest food?" Asked Alfonso.
"…" Lucy didn't answer.
But she looked at the walls of the city and made a small sigh.
"You don't want to know" Said Lucy.
She made a gesture with the hand and the trio moved forward to the entrance of the city.
