A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

"ahmm... I have a question!, then why don't you talk as much?" Alex addressed the question with an air of intrigue, as he was aware that Asmodea had told him the tale, but he wanted to know if it was accurate or if there was another, more hidden reason that he rarely spoke.

... Silence, as if Alex hadn't been prepared for that.

"Asmodea reported that the prior lord person complained that you talked too much; is that accurate?"

... Silence once more, but this time Orcus produced a gesticulation that said 'Kinda' instead of speaking.

"If you don't mind my asking, could you perhaps explain why you're so quiet? With words, hold on... With words that are spoken?" According to Alex, he was successful in thwarting any efforts made by Orcus to prevent any opportunities to avoid using words.

Alex watched as Orcus lifted a finger to his mouth and ran it across his lips. He didn't understand what Orcus was trying to communicate until he noticed the black energy that seemed to be swirling around Orcus's face.

It appeared as if the dark force was changing the shape of Orcus's facial features. Alex had never seen anything like it before, and he was fascinated by what he was seeing.

As the energy continued to swirl around Orcus's face, Alex could see that the demon's form was changing. The flesh on his face was shifting, and the contours of his features began to take on a different shape. It was clear that Orcus was using some sort of shadow manipulation magic to alter his form.

As Alex watched, Orcus's mouth disappeared entirely. In its place was a smooth valley of skin and flesh. Alex was amazed at how easily Orcus was able to change his appearance with such precision. He wondered how long the demon had been practicing this skill and what other abilities he possessed.

Alex's initial surprise at Orcus's strange ability soon turned into a mixture of amusement and unease. He couldn't help but giggle at the grotesque appearance of the demon's face, but at the same time, he couldn't shake off the feeling of discomfort that came with witnessing such an unsettling sight.

Nevertheless, he tried his best to remain composed and not show any signs of disrespect towards Orcus.

Despite the oddity of the situation, Orcus seemed to take it in stride and even attempted to convey a sense of humor through his expressionless face. If only he could have smiled, Alex thought, as he imagined the demon doing so.

The two continued their search for the rest of the group, their conversation kept at a low volume to avoid attracting any unwanted attention. The ruins were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps breaking the silence.

Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of dread creeping up on him as they moved deeper into the ruins, unsure of what dangers they might encounter.

Orcus, in his usual stoic manner, pointed towards the horizon, and Alex tried to discern the details of what he was indicating by squinting his eyes.

After a few seconds, Alex was finally able to make out the landscape that lay before them, and to his surprise, he found that Hell wasn't as terrible as he had imagined it to be.

The orange desert stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the heat was unbearable, but despite that, it held a certain beauty that Alex had not expected to see in this place.

As he scanned the landscape, he noticed that there were strange rock formations that rose from the sandy terrain like jagged teeth, casting eerie shadows on the ground.

The silence was overwhelming, and the only sounds that could be heard were the gentle whisper of the wind and the distant rumble of thunder.

Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the majesty of this place, even though he knew that they were in the depths of Hell.

As Alex pondered the beauty of the desolate wasteland before him, he realised that his preconceptions of Hell had been based on hearsay and rumours rather than first-hand knowledge. He couldn't help but wonder how many other misconceptions he had about the world around him.

The landscape of Hell was not a sight for sore eyes. Although the hot, orange desert did not seem as terrible as Alex had initially expected, it was still far from being a pleasant experience.

The ground beneath their feet was cracked and rough, and occasionally, a small opening would release flames, reminding them of the dangers lurking in the depths of Hell.

The scorching steam emanating from the vents added to the heat and discomfort, making it difficult for Alex to breathe. Despite the occasional gust of hot wind, there was no respite from the unforgiving environment.

It was a barren wasteland with no signs of life, except for a small oasis of greenery that Alex and Orcus came across.

The sight of green trees in the midst of such a desolate landscape was a welcome relief to their eyes. However, the trees had to adapt to the harsh environment to survive, and as a result, they were scarce and offered very little shade.

The sun beat down mercilessly on their backs, and the heat was unbearable. Alex began to wonder how the other members of their group were faring in this hostile environment.

A great number of orange rocks were dispersed among the crags and dunes that made up the landscape. Alex was able to discern what Orcus was pointing at when he was perched on the balcony.
