As I frowned at the thought that suddenly occurred to me, something that felt a little unexpected flowed into my ears.

“Wow… It’s amazing.”

Interesting?

“Not only did he successfully achieve the coexistence of magical power and internal power, which no one had succeeded in until now… but he was even able to see through the language of demons disguised as ordinary letters.”

What does this mean again…?

Given the circumstances, it seems like it’s referring to me.

It must have been a moment of confusion like that.

Creepy!

Goosebumps spread along my spine.

It was because of Helena’s wand, which was pointed at me with a chilling blue light.

“Soohyun Yoon, what on earth are you?”

The ones who reacted to Helena’s actions before me were none other than Hayoung and Soso.

The two of us walked out in shock at the sight of Helena, who seemed as if she was going to release magic at me at any moment.

“No, let’s see, really…! What kind of rudeness is this?!”

“Well… Is this the way the Magic Tower Alliance repays their help?”

Perhaps, since I had just woken up from fainting a few moments ago, I was worried that I might not be able to react to Helena’s unexpected behavior or that my response would be delayed.

As I watched the two of them slowly moving around, blocking the space between Helena and me, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Puh···.”

“What’s so funny?”

“No, I just thought it was a strange question. My identity… Why? Are you afraid that they might be demons disguised as humans like the ones I saw in Hanoi?”

“Well, I don’t know about that. But… in the meantime, one thing is certain: beings who can read the language of demons are not called ordinary humans.”

“Is that such a big deal?”

“That’s amazing. As far as I know, there has never been a case of sanity among humans who have directly spoken the language used by demons.”

No, that much…?

“···Even if you ask me how to read it, I don’t know. I just read it because I could read it.”

I didn’t think it was a situation that could be easily overcome, so I just said it that way, but in reality, I knew it.

Why is it that only I was able to see through the ‘real thing’ that Hayoung and Soso could not?

‘It’s probably because of the power of the app.’

One of the basic abilities that the app provides me is the ability related to language.

English, Chinese, Japanese, etc.

The power that makes you fluent in every language that exists in the world.

It must have been the effect of that ability that made me feel as if I was the only one back before the Tower of Babel fell.

‘I didn’t know that even the devil’s language would be given a free pass.’

Well… if you think about it, it’s natural.

The language of demons is also a ‘language’ in the end.

“So the conclusion you came to is… I don’t know why, is this right?”

“That’s right. Well… isn’t it some kind of constitution?”

“Constitution.”

“Not all wizards are the same. Maybe I have a constitution with particularly strong mental resistance.”

Since I couldn’t tell the truth, I just said that with the intention of covering things up for now.

At that exact moment, unexpected support arrived.

“Wait a minute, so it looks like Gaga is free from prohibition…?”

A single word flowed from Soso’s mouth.

That one word slightly changed the atmosphere of the place, which was going in a direction unfavorable to me.

“What is it, forbidden? What ban? Did he get banned or something?”

“I think that’s the first time I’ve heard that.”

“Ah, that’s actually…”

After a moment of stuttering as if embarrassed, Soso eventually began to explain.

Soso explained that the martial art I learned was something that had a somewhat unusual treatment, so the higher the level, the more blindly loyal one becomes to a specific target. Hayoung and Helena, who heard the explanation, were impressed without any doubt. I frowned.

“Indeed… If we even take that into account, Su-hyeon may have been born with something unique in her constitution.”

“No, that part is correct. That being said, who is that specific target?”

Unlike Helena, who doesn’t seem to have completely resolved her doubts yet, but seems to have reached a certain level of understanding, Hayoung seems to have been curious about who I would be blindly loyal to.

I see you are so obsessed with that part.

“I don’t know that either.”

“If you don’t know, it’s over? huh? If you don’t know, it’s over.”

“No, no one can guess, so then what should I do?”

“But you must have at least made a guess that he might be roughly like this.”

“Hmm… well… I guess I could become a person who has learned martial arts that react to each other with the martial arts that I have learned?”

In fact, since there is no one in this world to whom I would be loyal, I was naturally freed from it, but I cannot reveal that fact.

So I chose to just talk about it like that, but Hayoung wasn’t satisfied with that and started asking more questions.

“Why do you think that?”

“No, according to what the party chairman, or rather my father-in-law, said, the martial arts I learned felt similar to the martial arts that the demonic religion’s defenders used to learn in the olden days.”

“Huh? Yes, I remember your inner strength… even though there were some parts that felt a bit dark, the energy itself was pure, right?”

“Ay, so…! It doesn’t sound like you’re a magician like those guys, but it feels similar! I can’t understand what you’re saying, I’m not listening.”

“Oh, what did you mean? I also…”

He left Hayoung, who was grumbling that he didn’t know, for a moment, and turned his gaze towards Helena.

“Anyway, I don’t think what’s important right now is whether I’m a human or something wearing a human mask, right?”

“Hmm?”

“They said the reason I fainted like a made-up doll was because I read the language of devils.”

What does that mean?

“Isn’t this clear? That the religious group called Demonic Cult that once made the martial arts tremble was actually an East Asian branch for supplying sacrifices to black magicians?”

Even though it was written in the language of demons, it was disguised as an ordinary(?) magic craft, and this was the proof.

Perhaps… in this way, it was done through secrets to captivate the mind of the person reading it and make them fall into the magical arts.

He would have mass-produced people who were possessed by the devil and dragged them all into the devil’s religion.

Even if you didn’t watch it, it was a video.

Honestly, if that were not the case, there would be no reason to go to the trouble of tricking the devil’s language so that ordinary humans could read it.

‘If you think about it…’

When I think about it, it feels a bit strange.

If the goal was to attract as many people as possible to the group called the Demonic Cult, there would have been plenty of useful methods, even if it wasn’t this method.

What is the reason for choosing this method?

Or perhaps… was this better than I thought?

I couldn’t figure out the reason right now, but one thing was certain…

“Couldn’t this… be used in some way? I think it’s quite possible.”

It was none other than that part.

So I tried to bring it up, but I guess I was so busy focusing on my identity or what it was that I didn’t even think about that part.

The eyes of Helena and the other three people widened significantly at my remark that seemed to point out that point.

At that very time, Su-hyeon and others were busy talking about topics they had never thought of before.

An additional attack was carried out against the Magic Tower Alliance, which was busy becoming confused and lost due to the effects of the terrorist attack that occurred at the headquarters.

This was due to the millions of zombie swarms that suddenly appeared in the border area between the Magic Tower Alliance and Russia last night.

Starting from zombies, which are the most common creatures among the warlock’s creatures, to high-level undead such as ghouls.

They literally appeared overnight and formed a sort of procession and advanced towards the mainland of the Magic Tower Alliance… Thanks to this, the Magic Tower Alliance, which was already in extreme confusion, hastily organized a defense unit and crossed the border. We started to fend off the zombie hordes.

It was in the midst of this that news related to the 1st Magic Army Corps, which had succeeded in leaving Hanoi and returning to mainland Europe, and the fact that they had been deployed to the east became known.

And so, finally… the war between wizards and warlocks for hegemony in Europe descended upon the land of Europe once again, after nearly a hundred years.
