Chapter 587 First Ring of Hell: Lust (6)
Hovering over the outer rim, Orion identified a tailor amidst the labyrinthine structures. Landing gracefully, he entered the tailor's establishment, the celestial-abyssal glow of the chandelier still lingering in his thoughts. Communicating his need for an outfit that would seamlessly blend with the infernal elite, the tailor set to work, selecting fabrics and accessories that would clothe Orion in a guise of opulence.
The tailor crafted suit pants from the finest abyssal silk, their deep black hue absorbing the ambient hellfire glow. The dress shirt, tailored with precision, clung to Orion's form in a way that accentuated his celestial grace. A tie adorned with hellish jewels, each gem reflecting the cosmic fusion of the labyrinth, became a centerpiece of infernal elegance.
To further enhance the illusion of infernal refinement, the tailor incorporated a small corset, its design mirroring the intricate patterns etched into the labyrinth's walls. The corset, though subtle, emphasized Orion's ethereal physique, adding a touch of celestial allure to the ensemble. Over this meticulously tailored attire, the tailor draped a suited overcoat—a masterpiece that exuded both sophistication and a hint of infernal rebellion.
The overcoat, crafted from fabrics that seemed to shift between shades of onyx and crimson, bore celestial symbols subtly embroidered along the hem. The lapels, adorned with intricate hellfire patterns, caught the ambient glow, creating an illusion of celestial radiance that blended seamlessly with the abyssal depths of the labyrinth.
As Orion donned the infernal ensemble, he felt the transformative power of clothing—the ability to assume a guise that transcended the battlefield. The celestial-abyssal fusion, now reflected in his attire, added a layer of mystery and allure that would hopefully grant him access to the chandelier's inner sanctum. Armed with the knowledge of the labyrinth's secrets and adorned in a guise of infernal sophistication, Orion once again unfurled his wings and took to the skies, returning to the entrance where the well-dressed patrons awaited their chance to revel in the cosmic dance within.
With his celestial-abyssal attire adorning him, Orion gracefully soared back to the club's entrance, the pulsating beats guiding his flight. As he descended, he merged with the line of well-dressed demons awaiting entry. The queue stretched along the cavern's edge, a serpent of fanciful attire and infernal anticipation.
Orion, his wings gracefully tucked, joined the line with a calm demeanor, blending seamlessly with the demonic patrons. The line, though lengthy, moved with a certain infernal efficiency, each demon eager to immerse themselves in the decadence that awaited beyond the chandelier's glow.

Demons, dressed to the nines, engaged in hushed conversations and shared knowing glances, recognizing the shared desire for the cosmic pleasures concealed within the chandelier's depths. The air resonated with the ambient music, an invisible thread that connected the line's disparate threads into a collective anticipation.
As Orion stood amid the line, he couldn't help but notice the unexpected olfactory refinement that hung in the air. Despite their demonic nature, the patrons emanated an intoxicating fragrance, a melange of rare incense, demonic pheromones, and otherworldly perfumes. The juxtaposition of infernal allure and the surprisingly pleasant scents created an atmosphere that transcended the typical perceptions of demonic gatherings.
The line progressed steadily, each step bringing Orion closer to the cavern's heart where the chandelier beckoned. The patrons, their clothing reflecting a spectrum of abyssal hues and infernal designs, exuded an air of decadence that hinted at the cosmic indulgences awaiting them.
Orion, with his celestial-abyssal guise and keen senses, immersed himself in the collective energy of the line—a prelude to the infernal revelry that awaited beyond the chandelier's luminous threshold.
"Hello?" A voice suddenly shook from behind Orion, slightly startling him as he couldn't even sense the demoness trailing her nails along the back of his neck.
"Please do not touch me…" Orion snarled.
The demoness lightly chuckled before stretching out her slender purple hand. Orion saw this as two things: a simple greeting, or a potential threat. But, he ended up giving this place more respect than it deserved as he took her hand and felt… well, nothing.
"Don't worry. I'm not a threat," The woman chuckled.
The demoness who had addressed Orion possessed an air of regal allure that demanded attention even before her words reached his ears. Her form exuded a quiet confidence, and her presence hinted at a certain nobility within the hierarchy of Hell. Despite her demonic nature, her features carried a delicate refinement, blending the ethereal and the infernal in a mesmerizing dance.
Her eyes, a shade of deep amethyst, sparkled with a mysterious wisdom that transcended her apparent youth. Their gaze held a depth that suggested an understanding of the cave's intricacies and the cosmic forces that shaped its existence. Framed by cascading waves of lustrous purple hair, her face bore a symmetry that bordered on the divine, each feature meticulously crafted by infernal artistry.
The demoness's horns, elegantly curved and adorned with subtle etchings, framed her forehead with a regal grace. They spoke of an ancient lineage, a connection to the infernal realms that carried both authority and an ineffable beauty. Her skin, a flawless canvas of demonic allure, seemed to radiate a subtle glow, catching the ambient light in a way that accentuated her regal countenance.
As she stood before Orion, her slender form hinted at both strength and poise. Her figure, draped in the celestial-abyssal glow that permeated the cavern, resonated with an elegance that surpassed the typical chaos of the demonic realm. This demoness, with her regal appearance, was a captivating manifestation of the complex tapestry that defined the cave's denizens.
The demoness's attire, while retaining an air of infernal allure, carried a regal modesty that set her apart from the more overtly seductive ensembles worn by the women on the outskirts of Hell. Her outfit, crafted with precision and sophistication, spoke of a refined taste that complemented her regal appearance.
Draped in a deep purple gown that seemed to shift between shades of amethyst and onyx, the demoness's attire cascaded elegantly around her form. The fabric, adorned with subtle abyssal patterns, caught the ambient glow of the chandelier, creating an illusion of cosmic radiance that echoed the cave's celestial-abyssal fusion.
The gown, though form-fitting, maintained a sense of modesty, leaving much to the imagination while accentuating the demoness's graceful silhouette. Delicate embroidery traced intricate patterns along the neckline and hem, adding a touch of celestial craftsmanship to the infernal ensemble.
Her slender arms, adorned with ethereal bracelets and jeweled cuffs, extended gracefully from the gown's sleeves. Each piece of jewelry seemed to resonate with an otherworldly energy, reflecting the demoness's connection to the cave's cosmic forces.

As she moved, the demoness's gown swirled with celestial grace, the abyssal hues shifting and dancing in harmony with her every step. The seduction in her attire lay not in explicit exposure but in the enigmatic allure that emanated from the carefully chosen fabrics, colors, and jewelry—a manifestation of infernal sophistication that complemented her regal countenance.
"What do you want?" Orion asked, scouting the area to see if she had anybody else with her, only for his investigation to fall short of anything.
"You know… you need a partner to get into this club? I was hoping I could find one here and well, here you are. I was wondering if maybe we could pair up," Seeing Orion's hesitation, she added one more thing. "Don't worry, it will only last until we get in. Then we can split ways."
Not knowing whether she was telling the truth or not or whether this was all entirely planned out, he still took her up on that offer. He felt there was no threat to this woman even if he had ill intentions.
Why? Well, isn't it obvious? He's strong as fuck.
With a reluctant nod, Orion acquiesced to the demoness's proposal, recognizing the practicality of having a temporary partner for navigating the intricacies of gaining entry into the celestial-abyssal haven that lay beyond the chandelier. As they stood side by side, the demoness guided him through a series of enigmatic rituals required to access the exclusive club.
The process was far from conventional, a strange fusion of infernal bureaucracy and cosmic whimsy. The demoness produced an otherworldly talisman, intricately engraved with abyssal symbols that seemed to shimmer in response to the cave's energy. Holding it aloft, she whispered incantations that resonated with the cosmic forces intertwined with the fabric of the cave.
Orion observed, his celestial-abyssal guise aligning with the peculiar energies at play. The talisman emitted a faint glow, responding to the ethereal signatures of both demons as they moved through the cave's cosmic currents. The very air seemed to ripple with an unseen power, acknowledging their intent to traverse the threshold of the chandelier's inner sanctum.
As the ritual unfolded, a subtle distortion in reality manifested around them. The club's walls seemed to waver, the ambient light shifted hues, and the very fabric of the cosmos responded to the interplay between the talisman, the demoness, and Orion himself. It was a dance of cosmic forces, a prelude to the infernal indulgence that awaited them beyond the chandelier's luminous threshold.
