Chapter 1650 The Hell Beast
All of the players suddenly received a quest about the subjugation of the Hell Beast. This quest is different than the ones that they usually get because there is a basic reward and a contribution reward. Anyone that can get the rank one reward would basically have the Devil Dark Stone but there is a catch.
The players were not the only one that can get the contribution reward because even the NPC devils can get it. This is not just an ordinary player versus player raid but a player versus NPC raid. The rules of the raid are also not simple because there is a special rule in Hell once anyone steps inside a War Zone.
In War Zones, any damage that one gets will be inflicted regardless of if it came from an ally or an enemy. All damage can be directed to everyone as well without any penalty of becoming someone with great infamy. Hell's War Zones are actually the perfect place for players that love to hunt other players.

Quest Name: Hell Beast Subjugation
Quest Difficulty: S
Quest Description: The Hell Beast, a fearsome beast that is said to be born due to the special place called Hell, has awakened. The Devil Nobilities want the Hell Beast destroyed at any cost as it will rampage and destroy anything in its wake. It will also feed on any being that is alive which means it could wipe out an entire kingdom in one session.
Clear Condition: Kill the Hell Beast
Clear Reward: (Basic) +2 Levels – Any player that participates will be given this reward upon the defeat of the Hell Beast, (Contribution Reward) 1st Place will get Devil Dark Stone
Failure Condition: Hell Beast evolves into a Hell Beast Matriarch
Failure: Hell Beast Matriarch will create a legion of Hell Beasts that will destroy parts of Hell and increase the energy of the Hell Gate. Hell Beasts could rampage through the Main World.
Duration: 10 days
Restriction: Only players that have entered Hell can receive this mission. Any player that has yet to enter Hell when the Hell Beast spawned will automatically receive this mission if the Hell Beast is still active.
Note: This is a chain quest that proceeds upon failure.

The Hell Beast is not something that even ordinary devils can defeat. Only devils that are at the level of Devil Nobility can defeat one. Of course, this is the case if the devils only fight one by one as they are not known to possess teamwork.
Even if the normal devils have teamwork, they cannot easily hope to defeat the Hell Beast because it takes at least five of the lowest Devil Nobility to defeat one. One might say that the solution is easy and that is to make sure that at least five Devil Nobility work together but that is foolish. Devil Nobility do not leave their territory unless necessary especially when in Hell.
If a Devil Nobility leaves their territory without proper plans, then another Devil Nobility could attack suddenly. If a Devil Nobility loses their territory, then they would also lose parts of their power as their main body would be blocked from descending. Each of the seventy-two territories in Hell acts as a pseudo divine realm for their Devil God counterpart.
Devils are greedy beings that look out for themselves as their main characteristic would be selfish. If the angels were selfless beings because they do not have a sense of identity other than following their goddess, then the devils are the opposite of that. Devils prioritized themselves without regards to others or only those of their same kin.
"Did you see the last line of the quest?" Ark asked Pana and Basil as the two nodded.
"The line said that the Hell Gate would become more powerful, and the Hell Beast would appear in the main world." Basil replied as the sudden aftermath of failure was too in line with what they were investigating.
"I thought I was the only one that thought it was strange, but it seems that someone is deliberately making the Hell Gate more powerful." Pana added.
The three were discussing what to do next as they knew that they should stop the Hell Beast. They needed to think of what to do next, but they also need to scout the strength of the Hell Beast. Since this is a raid monster, they already informed their guild about is as they are monsters that are difficult to come by.

Quest Name: Find the Culprit that Released the Hell Beast
Quest Difficulty: S
Quest Description: The sudden awakening of a Hell Beast cannot be a coincidence since they are monsters that release torrents of Hell's special energy. The Hell Beast is said to have spawned due to the mana of the Dragon of Revelation that is being held prisoner in Hell. Find the culprit that released the Hell Beast.
Clear Condition: Find the culprit of the sudden release of the Hell Beast and report it to a Devil Nobility or Kill the culprit that released the Hell Beast.
Clear Reward: (Find Culprit) + 10 Levels and an Epic Tier Rune Stone, (Kill Culprit) Random Mythical Armor Chest- Character Specific
Failure Condition: Hell Beast evolves into Hell Beast Matriarch or the culprit leaves Hell
Failure: None
Duration: 10 days
Restriction: This quest cannot be shared.

The three suddenly shuddered upon receiving a quest that was S tier in difficulty. They thought they were seeing things, but this also meant that they have limited time as well. They needed to find the culprit that awakened the Hell Beast within 10 days in order to complete the quest.
The words Random Mythical Armor Chest- Character Specific echoed inside of their minds because this is something that not everyone can get. It was a tailored magic chest that is given to them which would make any ranker scream in happiness. The three wanted to cheer but the fact that a mythical item is up for grabs means that the culprit must be a Devil Nobility at the very least.
"I think we should really let the guild know of this. The other guilds are also calling their own guild members." Ark stated as he immediately contacted their guild master directly.
==
Ark: Guild Master, I think we need the guild's help. There is a raid that is happening in Hell right now.
Equinox: Thanks for informing me but I already know due to the other guild members blowing up my chat.
Ark: There is also another thing…
Ark immediately talked about the quest that he received as well as a background of it. Adrian immediately knew that he needed to go to Hell as this was now a matter that needed to be settled by the Daemos. If a Hell Beast requires a raid for the current players right now, then what would happen if a lot of them were to suddenly spring up in the main world.
Equinox: I will assemble the guild, but I will arrive earlier while the others are still arriving.
"What did the Guild Master say?" Basil asked Ark.
"He said that he would come first then the guild." Ark replied which shocked the two of them.
"If that is the case then we should start looking for clues on who awakened the Hell Beast." Pana stated as they have yet to have a definitive suspect.
==
Adrian immediately headed towards the Hell Gate location as he cannot wait for his guild members. He learned that someone was trying to expand the Hell Gate which means that a devil must be trying to escape from Hell. The Hell Gate was the only way for a devil to get out of Hell without a proxy body that they often use when they are summoned.
Unlike the angels that can come and go from the Silver City, the powerful devils cannot get out of Hell just yet. Hell has yet to fully integrate into the main world which is why devils will become weaker if they step outside of their home dimension. The devils do not want to get out of Hell weaker because they can truly die in the Main World unlike their home realm.
"A scheme like this would mean that a powerful devil must be behind it. Still, I need to go to Hell myself to find out. The defeat of the Hell Beast is the top concern right now." Adrian thought as he arrived at the Hell Gate.
The Hell Gate was not that large as it only had the height of three meters. This is also one of the reasons why only players have been able to get inside as large monsters would not be able to fit. Should large monsters try and get inside then they would get shredded while in transit which has happened a few times.
[You have entered Hell.]
[Any Light Attribute Damage will be reduced by 30% when in Hell.]
[Devils will get 30% stat boost when in Hell.]
