Opening eyes. heart

Golden eyes radiated light in the middle of the darkness.

Magical power resides in all things, and Lee Ho-yeon’s enlightened eyes pierce through it.

‘What is this darkness?’

However, it seems that the demon king in front of me is not a being from all things.

Lee Ho-yeon’s opened eyes could not read the devil’s magic at all.

Thump-thump-thump-

Only my heart beating faster and my senses becoming sharper told me about the danger of the other person.

Since it was unknown what ability the Demon King was using, it was a burden for Lee Ho-yeon to make the first move.

Wood clatter-

At that time, the darkness moved, making an eerie sound.

The darkness that filled the air slowly condensed around the Demon King, turning into fog and beginning to dominate the space.

‘Macheongung is being pushed back… . No, is it working? ‘

Lee Ho-yeon was startled and narrowed down the range of the Demon Heavenly Palace.

By increasing the concentration of magic power inside the Demon Heavenly Palace, it was possible to prevent it from being consumed by darkness, but of course it was impossible to build a large area.

‘Blood beat.’

The magical circuitry of the entire body expanded and a rune barrier unfolded.

The rune barrier that pushed away the darkness complemented the Macheon Palace and surrounded Lee Ho-yeon.

The Demon King’s eyes narrow as he sees his darkness being pushed away.

The darkness trembled darkly, as if affected by his anger.

Hwaaa

Darkness condenses on the devil’s hand.

Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes frowned when he saw a somewhat familiar magic pattern.

‘… Spiral?’

Lee Ho-yeon, seeing the darkness spinning in a spiral, clicked his tongue and read the magic in front of him.

Magic created by oneself.

It was in exactly the same format as Spiral.

“You remember what I said, right? I’ll show you that the magic you created in this world is nothing more than a trivial trick. In this world, there is no one who can defeat me…!!”

Malice and madness linger in the devil’s eyes.

In this world, God has unleashed his murderous intent to eliminate the humans who are ruining his world.

“What a crazy bastard….”

Hoyeon Lee was unable to continue speaking and summoned Ark behind his back.

The magic in front of him was the same as the spiral he knew, but the destructive power it created when combined with darkness was worlds apart.

“Hahaha! The 8th human! You’re so arrogant. You’re so arrogant! You attack God without even knowing the subject!”

The Demon King, who burst into flames, generated magic power from his entire body.

Ho-yeon Lee, who saw the magical power growing bigger and bigger, drew a magic circle with an arc and started performing multiple calculations.

“You pretended to be polite, but now you’re showing your true colors. You idiot.”

The same spiral cannot be stopped.

Because I will be eaten by that darkness.

‘Eclipse.’

With the movement of magical power, the black sun appeared in reality.

In the meantime, Lee Ho-yeon did not stop calculating the dark orbit.

A fighting sense that demonstrates an innate sense in all combat-related actions.

With your senses sharper than ever, you find a way to overcome the powerful enemy in front of you.

‘You can neutralize the spiral with Eclipse and approach with acceleration. But since there is no information about that darkness, it is dangerous to jump into it.’

In the original work, there is no information about the devil in front of you. Even if there is information, you cannot approach it hastily.

Since the god of this world is in that body, it is better to forget the original information.

‘… It’s something you have to experience at least once. ‘It may be safest to feel now.’

As always, the first time is the greatest opportunity.

The Demon King in front of me has not yet shown his full power.

We need to take advantage of that gap.

Kuuung-!

The darkness that had been concentrated in the Demon King’s hand left its owner and floated into the air.

In an instant, the dark spiral, divided into dozens of branches, rushed towards Lee Ho-yeon with the force of destroying the entire space.

‘Acceleration.’

Hoyeon Lee’s reaction was quick.

He returned the Demon Heavenly Palace and the rune barrier to his body, accelerated the space, and rushed at the Demon King.

Foreknowledge of the future.

Blood flowed from Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes.

The recoil of the foresight of the future that was forcibly manifested hit my body, but now was not the time to worry about such things.

You have to pour everything into this moment.

‘one. two. three… . ‘You can block up to five.’

The eclipse created from three arcs swallows up the darkness that stands in the way of Lee Ho-yeon.

In the process, the darkness that overtakes the body is blocked with a rune barrier.

Paaaang-!

A spiral created by multiple casting floated above my hand.

Lee Ho-yeon, who entrusted himself to the accelerated space, concentrated his magic power on his entire body.

‘here.’

The area that can cause the most damage is the front.

Leaving a blurry afterimage, Lee Ho-yeon penetrated the darkness and plunged the spiral into the demon king.

Kwaaang-!

Lee Ho-yeon’s prediction of the future was correct this time too.

The spiral he created hit the demon king properly.

“Accelerating the inside of the surrounding barrier. It’s definitely an interesting magic.”

However, the results were not good.

The Demon King’s armor, surrounded by darkness, easily blocked the spiral.

The body’s defense power was unnecessarily high.

“You know the magic of the Demon King. This is why I chose this body instead of Lucifer. If I can use this magic properly, no enemy can defeat the Demon King.”

The Demon King shook the dust off his body and laughed darkly.

I thought about it several times, but I was able to feel it more clearly as I fought with my magic power.

That kid has a personality breakdown.

‘Until we destroy that darkness, we must fight while keeping the distance apart.’

Unfortunately, there was no time to answer.

I had to think of at least one more attack that would work against him during that time.

Hoyeon Lee looked down at her hands.

The unidentified darkness used Lee Ho-yeon’s spiral as a medium to attach itself to his hand.

Because it was a small amount, I was able to concentrate my magic power and shake it off, but in the process, I used more magic power than expected.

If more darkness clings to you, you may have trouble moving your body.

Wow-

I bit my molars hard.

I encountered many powerful enemies, but none were as annoying as the demon lord in front of me.

With the enemies I’ve met so far, I’ve been able to at least understand how they fight.

However, the darkness of the Demon King could not be read with open eyes.

That irritated Lee Ho-yeon even more.

‘… For now, I have no choice but to take my time.’

Lee Ho-yeon’s [Open Eyes, Heart] goes beyond magical powers to analyze and interpret the phenomenon itself.

I haven’t been able to read the Darkness of the Demon King yet, but I’m sure I can if I have time.

That was Lee Ho-yeon’s intuition as a wizard.

“Your strength is definitely abnormal. The 8th human. Your strength is a strength that has never been observed in my world before. It far surpasses that of the human species! What is your identity that causes this to happen?”

“… Is that what bastards from hell have a habit of saying? Still, thank you for saying that.”

Chiron, Albedo, and Lucifer.

Everyone said that.

However, hearing those words somehow calmed my heart.

“Thank you. What does that mean?”

“All those bastards who said that lost to me.”

I felt the same way when I first encountered them.

I thought I could never win. Death is just around the corner.

But in the end, Hoyeon Lee overcame everything and came this far.

If I was going to fall in the final fight, I wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble.

“Hehehe, I wonder how long you’ll keep that attitude.”

The Demon King smiled and moved both hands.

The darkness that had taken over the surroundings began to vibrate and pressure Lee Ho-yeon.

Kuuuung-!

The darkness began to attack Lee Ho-yeon as if she were still alive.

In order to defeat the devil, you first had to read the concept of darkness.

‘When attacking, it exerts physical force as if it has mass, but it is not pushed away by my magic power.’

It is truly a selfish ability.

Could that be the magic of the Demon King’s Castle?

Kwaang-! Kwaang-!

Every time the darkness moves, space breaks apart.

Lee Ho-yeon slowly stepped back, avoiding the darkness.

The good news is that every time the darkness moves more violently, the more information Lee Ho-yeon receives.

‘This movement is similar to the Demon Heavenly Bow.’

The difference is that the darkness that has taken over the space bursts out instead of exercising control.

The guy was using Lee Ho-yeon’s magic in reverse, as if to humiliate him.

Lee Ho-yeon maintained the Macheon Palace firmly and developed the area.

The darkness came with the force to devour Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power, but he was somehow able to withstand it by overlapping the Demon Heavenly Palace and the Rune Barrier.

The enormous power of darkness gradually drove Lee Ho-yeon into a corner.

At the same time, he felt a flow of darkness behind him. It was an obvious maneuver.

“Ugh…!”

As soon as he reads the gap in the darkness that breaks the space, he no longer runs backwards but breaks through the front.

The Demon King in front of him still maintained a relaxed attitude even when Lee Ho-yeon charged at him head-on.

Attacking from the front doesn’t work.

However, maintaining distance was not a good situation.

‘A melee using arcs and multiple casting. I don’t know if I can do it… That’s the best.’

The magic power of the Demon King is close to infinite.

Fighting a war of attrition with a guy like that is almost suicidal.

But instead of choosing the worst, you have to choose the lesser evil.

The Demon King can counter all of Lee Ho-yeon’s magic, and he actually does.

You have to force yourself to create a gap in an unfavorable situation.

There is only one thing that gives Lee Ho-yeon an edge over the devil.

It was a multiple operation.

This is not an unfounded inference.

Foreknowledge of the future.

The Demon King copied all of Lee Ho-yeon’s magic, but could not copy this one perfectly.

The proof was that Lee Ho-yeon’s attack was hit by the devil.

Of course it didn’t work, but the spiral reached the guy. That was important.

This is probably because among his magic, future prediction is the closest to the ‘realm of God’.

Even if the other person is a god of this world, the body ultimately belongs to the devil of this world.

Even he cannot invade God’s domain.

Because that was the rule of fair betting established by the God of Betting.

Kuuung-!

Reverse Gravity.

As Lee Ho-yeon’s magic moves, the soil and sand of the field rise into the air at regular intervals.

It was not easy to see the movement of darkness in a place surrounded by darkness.

Until you can completely read the darkness with your opened eyes, you have to use some shortcuts.

“You’re showing off your tricks again.”

The Demon King kept smiling and moving the darkness, wondering what was so funny.

The darkness that had been exploding with the force of destroying the space until now is now quietly taking over the space.

Hoyeon Lee immediately recovered his magic power and dropped the sand on the floor.

Coogugung-

As the darkness became quiet, the demon king’s magic began to vibrate.

Magical power that is different from the darkness used until now.

No, a lot of magical power came out.

“Is this… Amon? No, Malfis and Melveth?”

One by one.

A familiar magical power engulfs the space.

A ghost ship and numerous ghosts.

Various lumps of ore.

Blood clots that rot your skin just by brushing against them.

The magic power of 72 demons suspended in the world outside the darkness fills the space.

“…what a bastard.”

– Human, human…

– Crunch. Crumbling!

The devil’s magic soon manifested into reality.

It looked like a mud monster made of darkness.

To be precise, it is not a demon, but a materialization of their magical power.

Although not each one was as strong as a real demon, they had all the difficult characteristics of demons.

‘… ‘I can win.’

The materialized magic power is weaker than that of the actual devil.

You can get rid of it with just one stroke of Lee Ho-yeon’s magic blade.

You can’t be attacked even once by 72 demons, but with Future Precognition, you can somehow do it.

The problem is that the devil also moves in the meantime.

Wooow-!

The pressure of darkness that dominates space becomes stronger.

Dots of condensed darkness appeared all around Lee Ho-yeon.

Taang!

At that moment, a dot of darkness so fast that it was difficult to perceive collided with the rune barrier.

The shock was enough to make the solid rune barrier tremble.

The magical power of 72 demons and hundreds of darkness were targeting Lee Ho-yeon.

“The 8th human. Can you overcome my full power?”

“….”

I raised my magic power while glaring at the demon king who was smiling bitterly.

Taang-!

The darkness that came in an instant struck the barrier once again.

It’s a frustrating situation where you can’t get closer or increase the distance.

Hoyeon Lee suddenly looked beyond the darkness.

“ha….”

A sphere of darkness that covers this space created by the Demon King.

And the hunters outside.

I can see the eyes of countless people looking this way.

I am truly grateful to those who fought alongside me, but now I had to find others.

Fortunately, Hoyeon Lee’s improved eyes were able to find the people he wanted in an instant.

Professor Lim Sol, Lucy, and Rumi are still hitting the barrier. Next to him, Nam Da-eun is throwing a space charm.

Ellis and Irene bite their lips and give instructions to Iris guild members.

Rebecca is unfolding a rune barrier on the other side, and Scarlett is looking around anxiously.

It was strange not seeing Liliana, but I couldn’t care about her right now.

“… I told you not to come, but you came in the end.”

Baek A-young, shedding tears, and Moon Su-rin, who manages people while holding her.

I told Baek Ah-young that it was definitely dangerous, but it seems he came after all.

“Ha. Fuck. Fuck….”

I mumble to myself and forcefully lift my heavy arms.

Blood beats expand the magic circuit to its limit.

The Demon Heavenly Palace and Blood Beat had been used to kill demons even before meeting the Demon King, so his body was already close to its limit.

What makes Lee Ho-yeon stand up is his fighting sense and mental strength.

And they were the people who could see beyond the darkness.

Taang-!

Trusting your sharply forged combat senses, you cut through the approaching darkness.

I hold on to the magical blade I created instinctively with both hands.

What kind of nature was this fucking darkness that Lee Ho-yeon’s magic could not push away?

Rather, it has a tricky quality that eats away at its magical power every time it touches it.

However, I got used to it more than I did at first.

The opening eyes read the darkness little by little, and the future predictions suggested a way to destroy the darkness in front of us.

The future in which Lee Ho-yeon died was still not visible.

Leaning on that small possibility, Lee Ho-yeon squeezed out his magic again.
