Darkness obscures my vision, and a sense of space being distorted covers my body.

I immediately generated magical power from the center of my body.

I was able to quickly shake off the darkness surrounding my body, but when the darkness disappeared, I was already standing in a different space.

“Your sensing ability is better than I thought. Your combat sense is definitely a good skill.”

I raised my head when I heard a voice coming from the front.

Black armor covering his entire body and crimson eyes.

Although its body, which was over 3 meters tall, was intimidating, I felt no hostility towards it.

Devil.

And the god of this world.

He was standing before my eyes.

“….”

I glared at the demon lord in front of me without answering.

When there was no answer, the Demon King shrugged his shoulders and then continued speaking.

“If it attacked my clone, I was planning on returning that power to the humans, but… hmm. Well, it doesn’t matter. It was only insurance.”

I felt a strange sense of composure in the demon king in front of me.

Even though he was standing right in front of me, he seemed to have no will to fight at all.

The guy was relaxed, as if the fierce battle with the demons just now was a dream.

I slowly looked around.

The darkness that had obscured his vision became a black curtain, surrounding the Demon King and himself.

The darkness in the shape of a huge sphere was an amazing shape with the outside clearly visible.

There were even people gathering outside.

As I look at it and point it, it seems like I can see the inside from the outside.

I looked at the Demon King with a puzzled look.

“It’s in bad taste to even make people see each other.”

“I have to show them that their last hope is broken for them to understand. In my world, humans never give up until the end.”

“…Why did the demons stop?”

The scenery outside the darkness was so awkward.

The demons that had been advancing without hesitation until just now had stopped like statues, and the humans were panicking and attacking the motionless demons.

“If I kill you anyway, this world will end. There’s no need to waste magical energy on scum.”

It seems that the resurrection of demons ends the moment the demon king’s magic power is cut off.

This was really good news.

Because it meant that if I just killed that bastard, I could save this world.

As if he sensed that feeling, the Demon King smiled.

“You’re too hasty. Hey. Do you know how many times this world has been repeated?”

“… what?”

“No. 1346082 to be exact. I watched the entire process. Some of them may have something to do with you.”

“….”

He suddenly said something, and it seemed like he was talking about how many times the original game had been played.

Because I didn’t know his intentions, I was quick to not open my mouth.

“In all of that process, this world ultimately comes down to two outcomes: humans win, or humans lose. I observed that ending 1346082 times.”

“So what? I’ve seen so much, so there’s no point in attacking me?”

“No. What I mean is that I have observed your way through this world from the beginning. How strong you are. What magic you use. What feelings you have towards trash who are nothing more than creatures. I know everything.”

“….”

“This world repeats endlessly. Right now, this moment is just one of over a million world lines. The emotions you have exchanged are only that much.”

This world is a game.

I can understand because I have cleared the original game several times and wrote a review.

A world that turns on when the player starts the game and turns off when the player turns off the game.

In the end, the world you struggled through is nothing more than a game.

That’s probably what the devil is talking about.

“Do the damn thing. Do the damn it.”

Of course, that kind of modification doesn’t work for me.

If I had heard something like that shortly after being possessed in this world, I might have been embarrassed.

However, the worries and agony of this world have long since ended.

This world is not a game.

There is no logical reason or philosophy.

At least that’s what he thought.

… Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter.

Because if you kill the demon lord in front of you, it becomes true.

“Is this only a person who lived well?”

Of course I knew that the gods of this world were not normal.

From the first time I was called, I thought he was a idiot.

However, I couldn’t stand it when they treated me so disrespectfully even when they were right in front of me.

“Did you not understand what I meant? You are the only one who can communicate emotions with my creatures! Even if you struggle, you cannot defeat God!”

“You’ve listened to enough bullshit. How long are you going to hold on to your weight?”

Instead of talking, I increased my magical power into my body.

Excited. Excited. Excited.

A fast-beating heart delivers blood throughout the body and circulates magical power.

My combat senses began to run wild against a powerful enemy I had never met before.

“You know best that you can’t win even if you struggle.”

What he said wasn’t wrong.

Since entering this space, my entire body has been sending signals to run away.

The Demon King was stronger than any enemy he had ever encountered.

“…Shut up, you character-disruptive bastard.”

I grit my teeth and forcefully calm the fear rising in the back of my mind.

You know best that this is not a situation that can be solved by running away or crying.

I forcibly shook off the demon lord’s power and opened my eyes.

‘Deployment of Macheon Palace.’

The magical power of the Demon Heavenly Palace begins to fill the dark space.

The tremors of the body gradually decrease, and the golden eyes scan the Demon King’s body from head to feet.

“… Yes, the 8th human. You always irritated me. You were the same until the last moment.”

When I see the Demon King’s eyes frowning, the corners of my mouth rise without me realizing it.

I didn’t like it from the beginning.

Their eyes, tone of voice, and even attitude show that they can’t do anything even if you attack them.

There are more than one or two things to correct.

“I guess we can check to see if he can keep talking even if he gets hit.”

The arc rising behind his back and the magic power spreading inside the Demon Heavenly Palace.

I smiled and gave myself over to the feeling of elation that enveloped my entire body.

*

When Lee Ho-yeon was alone with the devil.

Outside, the situation has changed once again.

All the demons and monsters suddenly stopped moving.

When the guys who had been targeting the humans in front of them just now stopped, the Allied Forces that were preparing to retreat couldn’t hide their confusion.

“W-What? Why am I alive…?”

“Amon has stopped! Aim for his neck now!”

From the hunter who was about to be cut by the devil’s sword to the hunter who was just before defeating the devil.

All the hunters were confused, but most quickly came to their senses and immediately ended the demon’s life.

No, I didn’t know whether he ended his life or not.

The demons were frozen as if they had escaped gravity and were stuffed in space itself.

The hunters who saw the demon continuing to stand there no matter how much they cut and burned it, were filled with fear for some reason.

“Hey! There’s something strange here!”

“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon is trapped inside!”

At that time, some of the hunters pointed to an unidentifiable darkness in the middle of the field.

Even amid the sudden commotion, Lee Ho-yeon’s name was enough to focus the hunters’ attention.

“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. And that guy…?”

“It’s the boss! Isn’t the reason the demons stopped because wizard Lee Ho-yeon was confronting that guy?”

One by one, the surviving hunters began to gather around the darkness.

Among them, the first to gather was the Iris Guild.

The darkness appeared right next to the area in charge of the Iris Guild.

Therefore, Ellis and Irene who were nearby were able to immediately see the darkness.

“Elise, can you interpret?”

“… No. I can’t see what kind of magic it is.”

“I don’t think Lee Ho-yeon made it… Maybe it’s that guy’s magic?”

“Yes, sister. It’s probably the magic of a guy called the Demon King.”

Ellis reached out to the darkness where Lee Ho-yeon was trapped.

It’s so scary!

Even if you touch it briefly, you can feel a strong reaction.

It was a type of magic I had never seen before.

“… What’s going on? Ellis. Isn’t this area the Iris Guild’s area?”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard among the hunters gathered one by one.

Student council president at Victoria Academy. It was Moon Su-rin.

Behind her was Nam Da-eun, holding a sword.

Ellis slightly turned her head and looked at Hoyeon Lee again and said.

“Yes. I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I heard that Lee Ho-yeon suddenly appeared and hit the injured person. And at that moment, this black darkness appeared.”

“You hit the injured person?”

“It’s probably the captain disguised as an injured person. Hoyeon has a Jeju where he has been able to find demons disguised as hunters in the past.”

Moon Su-rin’s answer came from behind.

When I turned my head, I saw the Imsol wizard coming towards me.

Behind her were cute twins, all three of whose eyes were fixed on the darkness.

“Professor Imsol?! Hoyeon is trapped inside. I need your help.”

Moon Su-rin smiled with relief when she saw Im Sol. It seemed like she, who was well versed in magic, could solve the situation.

“I’m watching too. I’ll try it now.”

Imsol immediately moved his magic towards the darkness.

Phrases-

However, even Imsol’s magical power was easily thrown away to the point of futility.

“What is this….”

Due to the strong resistance, Imsol’s fingers felt pain as if they were being pricked by a needle.

I’ve encountered a lot of magic so far, but I’ve never felt a reaction like this.

“I’ll try it too.”

Nam Da-eun also swung the space attack, but it didn’t make a dent in the darkness.

The same was true for other hunters.

Even the power that tore the devil apart could not break the darkness that surrounded Lee Ho-yeon.

“Rumi. Can you assist me?”

“No, I’ll try my best!”

“Me too, Professor!”

Imsol regained his magical power with the help of his disciples.

My beloved student was trapped, but I couldn’t stay still.

Meanwhile, the scale of darkness in which Lee Ho-yeon was trapped was very large.

Therefore, there were other hunters on the other side of the Iris Guild.

“Rebecca. Are you okay?”

“Huh… A rune barrier won’t work. This isn’t a type of barrier. But you can’t even call it magic… Anyway, it’s a power I’ve never seen before.”

Rebecca shook off her numb hands and looked into the darkness.

Even Rebecca, an expert in barriers, could not penetrate this unidentified darkness.

“Lee Ho-yeon…! What should I do? Oh, what should I do? Scout!”

“… I don’t know either.”

“Rebecca…! Do something!”

“I’m trying too, Liliana. Don’t get carried away. Just calm down.”

“Uh. Uhm. I’m sorry….”

Liliana looked restlessly at Lee Ho-yeon, who was trapped in the darkness.

The deep magic of hell was felt in the darkness where Lee Ho-yeon was trapped.

Perhaps because of this, an unidentified feeling of anxiety continued to make Liliana’s heart pound.

“I also use magic. No. … huh?”

That time when I was restless.

A familiar magical energy passed through Liliana’s senses.

“….”

I can feel my mother’s magic.

In fact, Liliana was searching for her mother’s magic throughout the battle.

Because I thought it would definitely be here.

However, the magical power that had not been felt until now was only felt now that Lee Ho-yeon was trapped.

‘Why now… ?’

The magic that touched Liliana’s senses was stronger than ever.

Moreover, he was revealing his location as if he was telling me to come find him right away.

‘If you are a mother… .’

Liliana recalled the information she had heard from Chiron.

His own mother, Isabella.

She is the devil’s mistress.

If it’s your own mother… Wouldn’t he know a way to save Lee Ho-yeon, who is confronting the devil?

Maybe that’s why he showed up now.

A thought crossed Liliana’s mind.

“Liliana?”

Scarlett looked at Liliana, who suddenly became quiet.

Now that Hoyeon Lee was trapped, she had to take care of Liliana.

“Scout. Wait a moment. I will save Lee Ho-yeon.”

“Liliana? Huh? Wait! Liliana! Where are you going?!”

“Wait! Rebecca!”

Liliana kicked the ground before she could respond.

It was easy for a succubus to follow the magic power that openly revealed its location.

Hunters collapsed from exhaustion and couldn’t even get close to the darkness.

Hunters gasping for breath as they collect the bodies of their colleagues.

Liliana passed through the crowds of people, and after running for a few minutes, she reached a deserted area.

It was a place where I could truly feel my mother’s magic.

However, there was no sign of popularity from those around him.

“mom mom?!”

Liliana turned her head randomly, looking for someone.

He had to find a way to save Lee Ho-yeon.

At that time, I was scattering magical energy in all directions and looking around.

“We’re finally alone together, my daughter.”

An irresistible fascination enveloped Liliana’s body.
