Just cutting through the gate, a gust of sulfurous toxic gas triggered the shield alarm.

  Fourteenth Layer: Volcano Hell.

  There was no land here. Only countless black pumice stones floating on a river of magma.

  Rumble—

  The volcanic cone in the distance was trembling violently, billowing thick smoke.

  As soon as Slayer stepped onto a pumice stone, a dozen Magma Elementals surged out of the magma. Composed of flowing rock, they threw scorching fireballs.

  Slayer didn't stop.

  He raised his Super Shotgun.

  Meat Hook fired!

  The chain hooked onto the head of a Magma Elemental. Slayer used the leverage to fly into the air, blowing its core apart with one shot.

  BANG!

  Rubble fell into the magma.

  Slayer didn't land. He pulled out the Rocket Launcher in mid-air, bombing the few blocking demons ahead.

  BOOM! BOOM!

  Weaving through the firelight of explosions, he was like an agile ape, jumping on sinking pumice stones.

  His goal was clear: The massive obsidian rock in the center of the crater.

  That was the only "Elevator."

  Just when he was a hundred meters from the crater, a massive Cyber-Mancubus stood up from the magma, blocking the way.

  It spread its arms, spewing two walls of high-temperature flame.

  Slayer didn't slow down.

  He activated the Ice Bomb.

  Pfft—!

  The bomb exploded in the center of the fire wall, instantly freezing a passage.

  Slayer passed through the ice mist and slammed directly into the Mancubus.

  Blood Punch!

  The shockwave knocked the Mancubus back. Slayer stepped on its shoulder, completing the final jump.

  He landed on that piece of obsidian.

  At this moment, the geothermal pressure beneath his feet had reached its limit.

  Slayer gripped the Crucible Blade with both hands reverse-grip, stabbing it fiercely into the rock beneath his feet.

  Break!

  BOOM——————!!!

  The volcano erupted.

  Massive thrust propelled the obsidian, along with Slayer on top of it, into the sky.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  But this wasn't a safe elevator.

  During the ascent, countless Gargoyles and Pain Elementals rushed out of the smoke, trying to knock this "hitchhiker" off.

  Slayer stood on the rapidly rising rock.

  He held the sword with one hand for balance, raising the double-barreled shotgun with the other.

  BANG! BANG!

  A Gargoyle was shattered.

  A Pain Elemental tried to spit a Lost Soul but was hooked by Slayer's Meat Hook, dragged over, and punched to explosion.

  Aerial Dogfight.

  Slayer was like playing the highest difficulty aerial shooter game.

  The background was erupting magma, beneath his feet was rock that could shatter at any moment, and surrounding him were overwhelming demons.

  3000 meters... 4000 meters...

  The obsidian beneath his feet began to disintegrate.

  Slayer didn't panic.

  He spotted a Cacodemon flying over.

  He sheathed the sword, ran up, and jumped.

  In mid-air, he stuffed a grenade into the Cacodemon's mouth.

  Kicked off it for leverage.

  BOOM!

  The Cacodemon exploded.

  Using the shockwave of the explosion, Slayer completed the final sprint.

  Clang!

  He landed steadily on the suspended island of the Fifteenth Layer.

  Behind him, the magma pillar lost momentum and fell back, taking countless demon corpses with it.

  Slayer stood up, shaking off the magma ash on his hands.

  Daoist Singularity managed to fly up with great difficulty. Seeing this scene, his legs went soft.

  "Big Hero... you call this... Volcano Surfing plus Aerial Dogfighting?!"

  Slayer ignored him.

  He drew the Crucible Blade from his back. The blade was now glowing bright red.

  [Charging Complete.]

  "Disaster vs Leverage."

  In Slayer's eyes, a volcanic eruption isn't a disaster; it's a thruster.

  Demons in the air aren't obstacles; they're stepping stones.

  "Borrowed a light."

  "Next chapter, Fifteenth Layer: Stone Mill Hell. Slayer looks at those massive stone millstones and thinks their shape isn't bad... like a frisbee?"
