The dungeon overflow phenomenon that occurred near the black pillar was a problem for the whole world.

Hell’s magic and strong monsters gush out.

From the investigation process to conquering the dungeon, several guilds have to work together to move together.

Jerk. Jerk.

A dark cave without even a single small bug.

This is a runaway dungeon that appeared in Paris.

As it appeared in the middle of the city, it was an area where several guilds, led by France’s best guild, the Iris Guild, were collaborating to conduct an investigation.

However, strangely enough, there was no sign of popularity here except for one person.

A man in a black tuxedo walking inside a dungeon.

Lucifer.

He exuded the energy of death just by walking, and checked his physical condition by clenching and unclenching his fists.

“Your body is in perfect condition.”

Lucifer, who had adapted to the magic of the human world, was finally able to use his full power.

I still felt bad about the magic power of this world, but I was able to quickly get my body back together thanks to the magic power of hell flowing from the black pillars located all over the world.

Now that I had fully recovered from the wounds inflicted by the human woman, it was time to move.

The first is an investigation of the human world.

Lucifer was interested in what humans called the dungeon runaway phenomenon.

To humans, it may have been a dungeon runaway phenomenon, but to Lucifer, it was an all too familiar phenomenon.

This is because the dungeon environment was becoming similar to hell.

Some of the severely overrun dungeons were even connected to hell and space.

That doesn’t mean Lucifer can go to hell, but some dungeons were to the point where there was no doubt that they were really hell.

Dungeons that are turning into hell, with black pillars flowing out of hell’s magic.

Although everything was smiling at Lucifer, he did not stop doubting.

“… It’s so unnatural.”

Lucifer was interested in the human world from hell.

Of course, I never stopped researching the human world, and through several years of research, I learned the hard way how difficult it is to connect dimensions.

The only time a human falls into hell is when the dimension becomes disrupted.

Therefore, it was safe to say that human slaves were rare and that there was almost no contact between the two worlds.

What was happening now was so unnatural.

The human world and hell were connected, as if someone was controlling it.

“Is this the God that man was talking about…?”

The god whom a human named Maestro cries out to every day.

Lucifer knows very well that the devil and God are different.

If there really is an omnipotent being, could this phenomenon be explained?

Lucifer walked inside the dungeon with those thoughts in mind.

The corpses of the humans he had killed were scattered throughout the dungeon.

For Lucifer, who lived in hell, the death of the weak was as natural as breathing, so he felt no emotion when he saw the deaths of humans.

“Huh … this, a dog like a dog ….”

At that time, one of the humans lying on the floor groaned and glared at Lucifer.

Lucifer looked at the floor curiously.

“It’s fascinating. How are you alive? I’ve never had any control over my strength.”

An investigator from the Iris Guild who was investigating a dungeon.

Luckily, he missed the attack and survived, but he used his last strength to capture Lucifer’s appearance.

“This… Pandemic’s stooge. Do you think you can survive like that even if you give up on humans?”

Your body is already broken.

Even if you pretend to be dead and send Lucifer, you won’t be able to come back to life.

If so, I will deliver Lucifer’s information to the Emperor of the Night who took me away.

That was my last job as an Iris guild member.

The investigator connected the secretly brought artifact to the Iris Guild’s emergency contact network.

Of course, Lucifer had no interest in what humans were up to.

I could sense his magic power fluttering with my magical eyes, but I decided there was no need to stop it.

“Human, do you believe in a being called God?”

The human in front of him mistook himself for a demon.

There was no need to explain, so Lucifer happened to share the problem he was currently thinking about with the humans.

A human perspective may solve your problems.

“If there really were transcendent beings in hell, this would explain this situation, but then there would also be gods in the human world.”

“Shut up! No matter how hard you try, the Emperor of the Night will kill you all…!”

“Or does the god of the human world intend to let his world be destroyed? It won’t be long until the assimilation of hell.”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about…! Before that, I found out your identity… Keu, ahhh!”

“Do the humans who were investigating this place also have no information?”

Wow.

Clumping.

If the human being investigating also has no information, there is nothing more to expect from the human being.

There was no time to explain his identity to the lowly human, so Lucifer stepped on the man’s chest, breaking his heart, and left.

Lucifer came out of the dungeon and looked into space.

Within a few hours of Lucifer resuming his activities, three dungeons were investigated, and not a single question was answered.

Even if I continue to investigate further, my questions about this world will not be answered.

If you can’t find an answer even if you dig deep, it’s right to stop worrying.

‘Except for a few abnormally strong people, there is no one who could pose a threat to me.’

Moreover, without knowing the cause, the whole situation was smiling at Lucifer.

The magic of this world and hell were very different.

Even Lucifer, who experienced being a human in hell, took time, so it would be natural for other humans to not be able to adapt.

Most humans have not yet adapted to the magic of hell.

The danger of the black pillar, which is equivalent to extreme poison to humans, was strangely ignored.

This too… It seemed like someone was intending that.

‘Lee Ho-yeon. And Liliana.’

There are only two variables that Lucifer cannot control.

He had to consider the person who hurt him, but he was better than those two who couldn’t be read by his magical eyes.

Lucifer, who was staring into space, took a step forward.

Next destination is Korea.

Now that you’ve done most of the basic research, it’s time to move on to the next step.

‘Capture the magic circle in the academy.’

Helping the assimilation of hell and killing Lee Ho-yeon is what the guy called ‘Shin’ wants.

But Lucifer doesn’t stop there.

We need to capture Lee Ho-yeon alive and find out why we can stop the Demon Eye.

The seat of the devil. And then I think about it.

After dusting off his tuxedo, Lucifer left the devastated dungeon behind and headed to Korea.

*

Inside Ellis’ house.

When Irene heard that Lucifer had appeared, she bit her lip and stomped her feet.

I turned on the emergency contact information, so Scarlett would arrive soon, but even then, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The place where Lucifer appeared is Korea.

It was a position where Ellis could also be touched.

“The world is getting in our way….”

Lucifer was paying attention to Lee Ho-yeon, and suddenly he showed up in Korea.

There are so many people who stand in the way of the happy life the three of us will have.

Irene lamented and prepared tea.

Even though Lucifer appears, it doesn’t mean you can run away right away.

Now that the information has been shared with each organization, we need to move on.

Ding dong.

Irene ran out at the sound of the ringing bell, opened the door, and blinked at the five people standing in front of the door.

“Hello, Irene.”

“… huh?”

Clearly, emergency contact was made only to Scarlett.

But there are five people standing outside the door.

No, let’s say 4 women are like that.

Since I shared all the information with those women, I was able to fully understand them coming together.

I even prepared a car for them just in case.

But why is Lee Ho-yeon there?

‘… There’s so much to talk about.’

As well as the story about Lucifer, there was also information I heard from Ellis.

I wanted to share this, but Hoyeon Lee came, so the plan went awry.

Since she couldn’t leave the guests outside like this, Irene led them into the living room.

Hoyeon Lee sat down and checked the coffee cup that had been set.

It was a bit suspicious that he wasn’t there in front of his seat, but that wasn’t important right now.

“Mr. Irene, I heard that Lucifer has appeared. Don’t we have to go right away?”

“Um… it’s not that urgent. We have identified the location, but we need to know the dangers around it and the cooperation of the agency. Oh, that’s right. This is the information about Lucifer that you asked for last time. Wild Gladiator and Strange nightmare summarized it in writing.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Hoyeon Lee carefully read the documents Irene gave her.

Most of it was the same as what you already knew, but you might get information you didn’t know about.

While Lee Ho-yeon lowered her head.

Irene exchanged greetings with the women.

“It’s been a while. Da-eun. I have a lot to tell you, so relax.”

“… Irene, I understand. Ah, Hoyeon. Can I take a look too?”

“Irene. Is it okay if we see it too?”

“of course.”

Nam Da-eun and Rebecca checked Ho-yeon Lee’s documents together, and Liliana chatted next to them.

Of course, Scarlett tried to join behind him, but an awkward voice was heard.

“Keuhum. Keuhum….”

He cleared his throat as if he was asking anyone to look at him.

Scarlett, who was about to check the documents, turned her head and looked at Irene.

As soon as Irene made eye contact with Scarlett, she turned her eyes left and right.

“…?”

The glance Irene gave me was all too familiar.

A sign used to convey information in situations where you cannot open your mouth.

Even if I tried to forget the Iris Guild’s password system that I had memorized, I couldn’t.

Scarlett glanced at Lee Ho-yeon for a moment and blinked.

‘Is there a problem. ‘Irene.’

‘Scarlett. Hoyeon Lee, why did you bring her here?!’

‘That’s because a battle might break out. Wouldn’t it make sense to bring the strongest force? Hoyeon is not an outsider, and we need to know information about Lucifer.’

‘I see… but! I had something to tell you. It’s important information about Lee Ho-yeon.’

‘Then wouldn’t it be better if you told me in advance? “Don’t worry, I will make room for you later.”

Nod.

After finishing communication, Irene calmed her expression.

From her perspective, she wanted to end the conversation before Ellis, who had gone to the Academy to seek cooperation, returned.

“Do you want to check this too?”

“What is this?”

“It’s a signal from a guild member who was attacked. Unfortunately, there is no video, but…”

– Human, do you believe in God?

Lucifer’s voice.

The recording stopped with an audible sound, but some conversation remained.

It was a meaningless conversation about God.

“Isn’t that bastard into a cult? There are a lot of cults in hell too.”

“… I guess that’s not the case.”

Hoyeon Lee, who responded to Liliana’s nonsense, thought about Lucifer’s words.

Looking at what God is saying, it’s clear that that bastard also shares information with the Maestro.

But there was no important information.

“Irene, so where is Lucifer? Isn’t he dangerous?”

“It’s the 32nd black pillar. I found a hideout on the outskirts of Seoul.”

“Black pillar….”

It’s like home ground for Lucifer, who comes from hell, so of course he’s hiding there.

“Yes. We have requested cooperation from several organizations, so we will receive an answer soon. Let’s think about how to move next.”

Hoyeon Lee frowned.

Assuming there is a battle with Lucifer, most hunters who do not know the magic of hell will be useless.

I think it would be better to form a small elite group, but… It seemed like no one would risk their life on an unknown monster.

‘I need Lucifer’s information… .’

Would it be better to go alone?

When I was thinking about it.

Irene, with her eyes wide open, jumped up from her seat.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Elise is arriving soon.”

“yes?”

“It’s faster than I thought. It looks like the Academy responded right away. What should I do? I shouldn’t come now… Uhm. Do you want to go home first? I’ll call you again.”

“….”

I understand why Irene does that.

This is because Ellis does not know Lee Ho-yeon’s women.

But now every minute counts.

Lee Ho-yeon was equally embarrassed by the sudden situation, but he couldn’t waste time on useless things when Lucifer appeared.

“No. I’ll talk to Ellis.”

You can’t hide it forever because you live right next door.

Now might not be a bad time.

If things don’t work out, you can just run away.

Hoyeon Lee swallowed his saliva and stood up.
