Takes place September 16-29
After Jade expresses regret over her previous career as an assassin, Paul offers to do something about it - namely, try bringing back her victims using Lazarus pits, with the side benefit of being able to properly study what the Pits do. Unfortunately, some of her victims are in Hell, and when Paul attempts to revive one, Satanus is able to use the connection to open a portal and drag Paul and his associates into Hell. Despite running low on demon-slayer ammunition, Paul is able to hold off the ambush long enough for them to escape.
