Izuku the Shadow Hero: Monarch

(31.5) Hell and back to Japan

{For some reason the song Me and the Devil is what I think whilst writing this chapter}

[Devil of Lust]

WIth that the duo with the shadow army clashed, more shadows needed to be reformed but at the same time a lot of devils were being taken down. The main weapon of the Lust devils against humans was their main ability, 'Lust'. They had the ability of making the humans become attracted to them, making the devils have full control over the humans. This was something that the system couldn't protect Izuku fully, Star was using one of the slots of New Order to become resistant to this power. "Damn it, why am I wanting to be attracted to them?" Izuku muttered. 

"I have the same problem, this is really getting on my nerves." Cath grumbled to herself. Ignoring the physical strength and the might of their weapon style, the duo had to concentrate whilst ignoring the lustful urges. Luckily the shadows stepped in especially a pissed of Gabriel that wanted to smash some heads of what they are doing to her lover and liege.

It was another minute when that group was cut, literally Igris was pissed for some reason and used a blast of power with Michael's longsword and cut them in two.

[Skill: Hand to hand combat levelled up from LV.3 to LV.4]

Smiling at his progress with his hand to hand, Izuku continued to walk forward. Whilst the USA visit seems to be hectic, he was learning about running an agency properly. This was good as he may be planning on opening an agency with Rumi in the future. More devils of lust appeared with them being defeated soundly by Izuku's shadows, but it also helped that both Cathleen and himself are slowly getting resistant to the lustful urges.

It was over 7 hours when they found their way to the next circle of hell. Now the duo were resting before they could enter the next circle. Both drank some water and had a light meal that Izuku produced. Neither of them were tired so they decided to finish the third circle of hell before they went to sleep. "So you are saying that a lot of dungeon breaks are occurring due to the shortage of heroes?"

Star just sighed and nodded, "Most of them are happening in secluded areas where the monsters wander and kill the humans. I-island is in the process of developing a way to locate gates around the world, but how did you do it before South Korea announced it?"

"Before the S rank gate, there were not that many in the world. It was pretty simple and most of them were D ranks gates so I could send one of my stronger shadows. I mostly dealt with the higher ranks but occasionally went into the lower ranked." Izuku explained, "Although I feel bad about Vladimir, Russia has a lot of unoccupied and gates like to spawn and brake. Russia will have a monster forest from the seams of it."

"Not only Russia, Brazil and other countries that have a lot of land mass but the number of heroes are low." Izuku just nodded to the explanation, "It also sucks that over 15,000,000 people died from the gate break already." That was a sad fact, due to the hero shortage, the civilians are now also able to help in lower ranked gates but it was sometimes not enough. "Imagine the number of casualties if you haven't helped, the gate readers especially if you haven't given them out then a lot of heroes would have died."

Izuku just nodded once again whilst sitting on a rock looking at the dark sky of hell. "Yeah." The sky had a purple tint to it and the stars are shining brighter even compared to the secluded mountain in Canada he had a date on. "Good night, the shadows will be keeping us safe." With that Izuku took out his sleeping bag whilst giving a larger one to star and fell asleep. 

--- Next gate day --- 

Izuku woke up, blinking the sleep away, he saw a notification that suprised him grately.
