Chapter 4 - To Cell 50:

After Hel killed the Earthworm, his power increased, and he gained a new ability: summoning the Hell Knight. Overcome with curiosity, he activated this new ability. Suddenly, black smoke billowed, and a door opened from nowhere. A red-haired girl emerged, wielding a sword as tall as herself. She bowed reverently to her master and said, "My lord, I'm sorry for everything." Hel replied, "My name is Hel, and I'm from another world. This is our first meeting. Why do you call me 'my lord'?"

Kitato responded, "Whenever my lord returns, I return with him. I'm sorry you couldn't achieve your goal!"

Hel asked, "And what is their goal?"

Kitato answered, "To conquer the world and turn it into hell." Hel said, "I think you're with the wrong person. Damn them! They only want your power. As for me..." Listen, Kitato, you don't know what I've been through. I've lost everything and haven't tasted life. I'm like a bird without wings, and I'm not obligated to follow the paths of those who came before me.

What I want is to change myself, to heal my pain, and not to live as I did before. This world has given me the strength for that. I don't want to be a burden on others. My family has suffered enough already. What matters to me now is healing! Kitato was taken aback, a look of sadness on her face. "Sir," she said, "I'm with you, and I'm sorry for what happened to you. I will help you achieve that." He replied, "What matters to me now is strength because it makes me a different person, and the praise of the people of this world also makes me different when I help them. What must be done now is to break the record for the Vargacia dungeons."

Kitato said, "But you're not at your full strength now. Let me help you!" Every monster you kill allows you to take points and level up—this is a feature of our contract. They descended to the 38th floor and found thousands of tiny spiders.

Kitato exclaimed, "Watch, my lord! Let me clear this dungeon!" She took her longsword and lit it with hellfire. It sped up as if it had vanished, and the spiders were torn apart one by one. Suddenly, they heard a whistle coming from the entrance of the dungeon's owner. "It's the king!" she cried. "Let me get his attention," said Hel. They entered his chamber, and they moved swiftly. Hel struck the king with fireballs, and the king attacked, binding him with hell chains and calling out, "Kitato!" Kitato, it's yours! Kitato leaps upwards, unleashes her attack, and strikes him with her sword, slicing him in half.

Hell says to her, "That's right, we're connected. Every monster you kill is given to me as power. We must descend to the lower dungeons. The S-rank adventurers have reached cell number 50 at the maximum." Kitato replies, "Yes, my lord, let's go down." They killed the giant snake with fishy scales that emitted an electric current and regenerated. They cut off its head, and Hell burned it with his infernal flames. In cells 40, 41, and 42, they killed a wolf, a rhinoceros, and a thorny plant. Hell's power increased:

Assassin: Jack, Rank S

Healer: Klaus, Rank S. Jack stepped forward and said to Hell, "What is a novice like you doing here? Haven't you heard?" The summoning!?

Hill replied, "We came to finish what you couldn't."

Rubel laughed and said, "What kind of creature are you?!"

Hill answered, "I'm a summoner."

Rubel said, "Let me shatter your dreams right here."

He summoned a Volcano Bird of Rank A and said to it, "Do you see the difference between you and me?!"

Hill said, "Come here, Kitato." Its bloodthirsty aura terrified Ruperl, who exclaimed, "No, this is unbelievable!!"

Its aura is terrifying.

Rubel said, "You're lucky we've wiped out all the monsters that escaped. Our mission is complete, and we'll leave. We'll meet again, if you don't die!" In these dungeons, a Minotaur might be waiting for you below. Even the five of us couldn't defeat him.

Hel and Kitato went down, and she said to Hel, "You're not far from reaching their rank. There's only a small difference between you and them." Hel replied, "I don't care about them. What worries me is that the Minotaur is a difficult monster. From what I know, he's ferocious and his strength is terrifying."
