Adventure In Another World Eclipteria
Chapter 21: Arrival on the 65th Floor

Belial, in his handsome human form, sits majestically on his throne. Her long black hair was unraveling over her shoulders and her flaming red eyes highlighted the monstrous beauty she possessed. He was wearing luxurious clothes that symbolized his status as a demon lord.

A servant approached him, relaying news that made a mysterious smile appear on Belial's lips. The servant knelt respectfully, afraid of the anger of his master.

"Mr Belial, there's good news. The white-haired man known as Haruki was no longer with the priestess" said the maid in a trembling voice.

Belial's smile grew wider, and his burning eyes lit up with enthusiasm. "Good, the biggest obstacle is no longer there. Execute the plan now," he ordered in a stern tone, ordering to proceed with his evil plan. Now, nothing can stand in the way of his evil ambition to rule the world.

On the other hand

The Dwarves handed over the artifacts that had been repaired to them. Haruki and Yuki looked on with pleasure as the artifact was restored to its prime state. The artifact, which was stick-shaped as it was used by priests, now shines with awe-inspiring beauty.

Yuki took the artifact and swung it gracefully. A spotlight of light bounced off the surface of the stick, creating a dazzling magical aura. Yuki looked very happy and amazed.

"Well, it's beautiful" said Yuki, pointing the wand at Haruki. A glimmer of happiness emanated from his face. Haruki just smiled, happy to see Yuki so happy.

"Now what are we going to do?" asked Haruki with a slightly inclined head.

Yuki thought for a moment, contemplating on his next plan. "Maybe we can directly attack Belial. You know, he's been a big nuisance to Mrs Hana."

"Alright, if so," Haruki replied. The two of them left the forging shop, Yuki still kept tightly holding Haruki's arm.

Meanwhile, the,

“Nona Viametta, the two of them are now on their way to the place of lord Belial.” Say a succubi from behind the curtain.

Viametta Lovell, in a pink plush dress, smiles happily upon hearing the news that Haruki and Yuki are on their way to Belial's place. His alluring eyes flashed, and his mischievous smile hinted at interest and anticipation for what was to come next.

"About what she's going to do, ya~" Viametta said in a soft voice, almost as if she was foretelling the future. He seemed impatient with the developments to come.

Not far from Viametta, there was a letter that was already open, apparently he had just read. The letter was an invitation to a celebration held by Belial. That suggests that Belial has big plans to reveal in the celebration. Viametta began to ponder, trying to understand what was playing on the demon's mind.

Back to Haruki's side, please,

Haruki and Yuki continue their journey, this time by riding a horse carriage provided by a merchant. Yuki who looked tired, leaned on Haruki's shoulder, looking for comfort in Haruki's arms.

"Haru~" Yuki said in a spoiled tone, her face looking sleepy.

Haruki smiled gently and tried to make her comfortable. "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. You can sleep a little if you want."

Yuki nodded and closed her eyes, leaning on Haruki's shoulder, which let her rest. The two of them continued on their way to their destination, in the coolness of a quiet twilight.

Before long, Haruki also closed his eyes, maybe he was very tired because he himself had not rested well since meeting Hana.

Haruki, in his subconscious, walks through a dark and gripping landscape. The atmosphere here was very different from reality, creating an atmosphere full of mystery and uncertainty. He felt that something was calling out to him, pulling him into the depths of his subconscious.

But something strange started to happen. Haruki's shadow inside the mirror started to move independently from him. His eyes stared intently, creating a deep sense of discomfort. There was a strange presence surrounding the pond, as an entity residing within Haruki's subconscious.

“Hey,” said the entity inside the pool with a terrible smile, "What's your goal?" continue that entity.

Haruki looked at the entity warily, feeling a suffocating sensation circling this place. "I'm not sure" he replied, "I feel like I'm dreaming."

The entity laughed, his voice echoing within Haruki's subconscious. "Dreams, huh? Or maybe it's a hidden reality."

Haruki was getting confused. "Who or what are you?"

The entity just smiled mysteriously. "I'm a part of you, Haruki. The hidden part within yourself."

Haruki pondered for a moment, trying to understand the words of that entity. "What do you want from me?"

The entity replied, "I want you to realize your true potential, Haruki. Strength you haven't realized."

Haruki felt the confusion deepening. "What do you mean? I'm just a human being."

The entity shook his head. "No, Haruki. You are more than that. You have a power within you that can change destiny. But first, you must learn to control it."

Haruki was trying to digest the words of that entity. "How is it?"

The entity smiled back, this time more graciously. "Everything will be revealed in time, Haruki. But remember, the power is within you."

Haruki felt increasingly curious and also confused by what he heard. "Does this mean that I have to trust you?"

The entity disappeared slowly, his voice sounding faint. "Trust yourself, Haruki. That's the key to controlling your power. If you give up, I will control your body completely, unlike before."

Then, the pond again became a mirror that only reflected Haruki's image.

Haruki awakens from his journey in his subconscious and finds himself on the verge of arriving in the territory controlled by Belial. In the horse carriage pedaling to his destination, he also saw Yuki who was still sleeping in his arms.

Gently, Haruki tried to wake Yuki up. "Yuki, we're almost there. Let's get up."

Yuki who was still in bed snorted softly, and her fox ears twitched. Then, he wriggled for a moment before finally opening his eyes slowly. He smiled when he saw Haruki's face. "Haru.." he said, still a bit sleepy.

Haruki stroked Yuki's hair gently. "We're almost there. Prepare yourself."

Yuki nodded and prepared. They descended inside the city, and immediately felt a different atmosphere. This floor was clearly very different from the previous one. It was mostly covered by extremely thick black clouds, causing an almost total darkness. Only a few dimly lit lights came from unknown sources that lit up the streets and buildings.

The condition of the city is very crowded, such as a celebration party will be held. There were all sorts of demon races clustered here, creating an atmosphere full of life. Although this floor felt very different, the beauty and splendor displayed by these demons was so impressive.

Viametta, who was standing not far away from them, smiled happily to see Haruki and Yuki arrive. He had a smile that exuded fascination and excitement. "Yet you're finally here,"
