The heart of the fake dungeon.

The fierce battle with Lucifer continued for over an hour.

“Tsk….”

Moon Su-rin frowned and slowly took a deep breath.

Lucifer’s strength was beyond imagination.

It has a strong body and magical power that can repel any attack, and even if it is lucky enough to hit, it quickly regenerates.

‘Everyone’s injuries are increasing.’

My right arm, which had been grazed by Lucifer’s magic earlier, was still tingling.

I wanted to get support from Baek Ah-young, but she couldn’t afford it since she was concentrating all her energy on Lee Ho-yeon’s treatment.

“Student President. Are you okay? If you’re tired, get some rest.”

“No, I can’t do that. Besides, I’m more worried about the people in front of me than me.”

“… Yes. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll step in. I’m also capable of close combat to some extent.”

Rebecca looked straight ahead and smiled bitterly.

Scarlett and Ellis, who had a hard time themselves, exchanged direct attacks with Lucifer in front. And I was worried about Irene.

What Rebecca can do is support using rune barriers.

Rebecca took a deep breath and summoned her magic.

It becomes increasingly difficult to breathe.

This is because of the magical power of hell that fills the center.

Thanks to Liliana, the magic power controlled by Lucifer was driven away, but in the end, Liliana’s magic power is also fundamentally the magic power of hell.

There was bound to be some pressure on the female team.

“Kaaa!”

Kwaang-!

Lucifer spreads his wings, and a storm of strong magical power swirls.

‘The barrier is disintegrating.’

Rebecca’s magic power is overwhelmed by Lucifer’s magic power.

Territory battles become increasingly difficult. Support with rune barriers and telekinesis also had limitations.

If it were a battle of endurance, Lucifer couldn’t be beaten.

“Liliana. Can’t we use a stronger attack? We need to inflict fatal wounds.”

“I’m trying too, but… hmmm. It’s quite difficult to drive out magical power.”

Liliana shook her head as she checked the magic power within her body.

Although she was using the magic power that had been sealed within the forbidden system again, Liliana’s skills were significantly inferior to Lucifer’s.

Even now, I was barely holding on.

“Then should I expect it from Wizard Imsol or Da-eun….”

Rebecca turned her head and checked behind her.

There are at least two people who can make a threatening attack on Lucifer.

The question is whether we can hold out until then.

Taang-!

Lucifer’s threatening attack was directed at Ellis and Scarlett.

Lucifer’s attack, which inflicted fatal wounds even if just grazed, was a huge burden to the melee team.

“This… I’ll stop it!”

Su-rin Moon, who had raised his magical power, quickly pulled Ellis and Scarlett in, putting pressure on Lucifer.

After a while. By a narrow margin, Lucifer’s new form passed by where the two were.

Lucifer also knew what attacks would cause damage to him.

While continuing the attack, he targeted Imsol, Liliana, and Nam Da-eun with his magic power.

As I tried to mark Lucifer as much as possible, the pressure on the close line was too much.

“Scarlett. I’ll take care of it. I’ll be out in a moment.”

“…No, Irene. It’s okay.”

Scarlett answered Irene’s words by hiding her trembling hands behind her back.

In the battle with Lucifer, you couldn’t let down your guard even for a moment.

The moment you allow even one attack, you will be out of the battlefield, and someone else will have to fill your empty spot.

I can’t whine just because it’s a little difficult.

A critical situation where you must fight for your life in a dungeon where you are suddenly kidnapped.

Scarlett wrinkled her face in frustration.

While working as an informant for the Iris Guild, it is not that unexpected battles have occurred.

However, Scarlett was feeling the wall for the first time in a long time.

‘A real monster… Real geniuses.’

Lucifer was the strongest enemy she had ever met in her life.

It would probably be difficult to win even if all the executives of the Iris Guild attacked.

It is truly a monster worthy of being called a human army.

But Scarlett was even more surprised by the women who had been confronting that monster for an hour.

Sisters Ellis and Irene?

I thought they were genius sisters, but when I actually put them together, it was almost a waste to call them geniuses.

Lucifer’s attack was like an elephant to Scarlett. If I blocked it properly, I would be crushed, so I had to avoid it as much as possible.

Ellis and Irene were different.

The beginning was the same as Scarlett’s. They also focused on avoiding Lucifer’s attacks.

But now the two have reached a level where they can repel attacks. They have grown in that short period of time between battles.

That’s not all.

Cadet Nam Da-eun’s attack was wounding Lucifer, and Moon Su-rin was leading the entire battle.

If it weren’t for Rebecca and Moon Su-rin’s backup, he would have died more than 10 times.

“Scarlett! Watch your back!”

Even while Scarlett was thinking about such things, the battle continued.

Ellis held the sword with one hand and spread magic towards Lucifer with the other hand.

“Hmph!”

I brought my sword down on the shoulder of Lucifer, who was approaching from the left, and used magic to block additional hits.

Lucifer also retreated for a moment due to the sharp attack and regrouped.

“… You’re annoying.”

Lucifer frowned as he looked at his regenerating shoulder.

I didn’t feel the battle was difficult, but it was taking a long time.

Lucifer, who had tried to catch the humans who were making threatening attacks to Lucifer, decided to change his mind.

‘Take care of the flies first.’

Lucifer injected magical power into the muscles of his entire body.

Concentrate everything on strength and speed to destroy the humans in front of you.

“You ignored humans too much. From now on, you are humans approved by me, Lucifer.”

“What does that crazy mountain goat say?”

Lucifer’s muscles become more bulging.

Maintaining dignity is put aside for a moment.

Lucifer unleashed his magic and found his first target.

Flap-!

The first is the person I dislike the most.

It quickly tears apart the golden-haired human who was running away.

Lucifer spread his wings and shot out, leaving an afterimage.

“Big…!”

Scarlett bit her lip after narrowly avoiding Lucifer’s attack.

Whatever he did, he became faster and stronger.

Moreover, rather than targeting people far away with his magic power, he was concentrating all his power on himself.

Ellis and Irene joined forces to help Scarlett, but Lucifer’s attack was only targeting Scarlett.

thud-!

You made your own!

When you stamp your foot once, the ground shakes, and the magic power of hell presses down on you from all directions.

Even if the distance opens up to dozens of meters, he closes it to one step and then slams his huge fist down.

Slurp-

Scarlett used Moon Su-rin’s telekinesis to dodge Lucifer’s attacks as much as possible.

It was obvious that a direct hit would crush my body to dust, so I decided to take my time.

‘The wounds are piling up.’

While Lucifer is targeting Scarlett, the others are not sitting still.

Since there is no check, it is much easier to accumulate damage to Lucifer.

You just have to hold on a little longer.

“Tsk…!”

However, Scarlett could not shed all of Lucifer’s attacks.

An attack that could not be avoided was allowed, and Scarlett, who was grazed by Lucifer’s fist, vomited blood.

Just once.

I was only grazed by the attack, but my vision blurred.

“Scarlett!!”

Wow!

At the same time, Lucifer’s magic cannon approaches.

Originally, Lucifer’s magic cannon had great power but required time, but this time it was completed at an unexpected time.

‘This is unavoidable… !’

Scarlett, who fell into a groggy state due to Lucifer’s attack, had no time to avoid the magic cannon.

Moon Su-rin’s magic is pulling out Scarlett’s body, but Lucifer’s magic cannon, which is forcibly following, is much faster than that.

A dark red magical power filled with ominousness approached Scarlett’s eyes.

Will he be able to survive even if he gets hit by that?

Tight.

Scarlett closed her eyes without realizing it.

However, even as time passed, I did not feel any pain.

Scarlett slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lucifer’s magic cannon, which had been split in two by blue magic.

And then he found a man standing in front of him as if guarding him.

“What I saved you from France. Are you paying me back now?”

Lee Ho-yeon turned his head and smiled at Scarlett, who was blinking.

It was quite fun to see the fierce side of Scarlett.

“… It would have been touching if he had stayed still, but he broke the mood. And at that time, I almost died. I was attacked instead.”

“If you hit him now, you will die instantly.”

Hoyeon Lee looked at Scarlett with a smile.

Looking at Scarlett reminded me of a conversation we had at the training center before.

– I don’t know if I can say this, but my father’s life feels like simple work in a factory.

I didn’t fully understand what Rebecca said at the time, but I felt like I understood it now.

How different was the way these women looked at me and the way I looked at them?

Once the fight with Lucifer is over, we can look at this relationship more seriously.

“When this fight is over, I’ll confess to you.”

“…don’t talk nonsense.”

“Then I’ll buy you some food. Not something like cheese soft tofu, but something delicious.”

Scarlett smiled at Hoyeon Lee’s nonsense.

Lee Ho-yeon’s physical condition is not normal.

No matter how saintly she is, she cannot make someone who was on the verge of death back to normal in one hour.

I guess I’m still standing there enduring the pain.

Even though it was in that state, it was the same as usual.

I feel reassured by that.

‘My whole body hurts.’

Kuuk.

Lee Ho-yeon’s fingers, which create magic, are trembling.

Even after receiving intensive treatment from Baek A-young for an hour, it was like this.

No, I think Baek A-young is amazing because she turned a dead person into a living person in just one hour.

“Lee Ho-yeon. Are you okay?!”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled at Ellis, who approached her, then clenched her trembling fists and covered herself with magical power.

It would be a lie to say that there is no fear at all.

The pain I suffered from Lucifer was still vivid.

But now Hoyeon Lee was not alone.

“Are humans gathered together and proudly puffing out their chests in front of me?”

“Yeah. You bastard.”

Excited.

Hoyeon Lee’s fighting senses begin to warm up his body.

I can’t say it’s in good condition.

Because the magic circuit was still incomplete, the output did not come out properly, and blood bits must be used with caution.

I shouldn’t even dream of Eclipse or Macheon Palace.

In comparison, Lucifer only looked uncomfortable and did not show any external wounds.

It’s not that there is no damage at all, but all wounds are repaired with monstrous regenerative power.

… Nevertheless, I didn’t feel like I was losing.

Is it because he is with heroines?

Even though I’m standing in front of Lucifer, I can’t imagine the option of defeat in my mind.

All that remains is the confidence that you can win.

“You’re lost, you mountain goat.”
