Chapter Index

    Seongmin Moon looked at me, full of life.

    It seemed as if he would attack me at any moment if I didn’t say something.

    ‘It’s scary.’

    His sparsely bearded face looked like a friendly guy next door, but he couldn’t avoid the smell of a dirty demon.

    Because the time of his appearance was different, Moon Seong-min’s face was slightly different from the one seen in the original, but thanks to the montage given by Surin, I recognized him at once.

    “Father-in-law? I’ll ask you again. Who are you?”

    “I’d like to say hello again too. Hello. This is Surin’s boyfriend.”

    “Surin… Surin? Are you really talking about Surin Moon?”

    “Yes. I am Surin’s boyfriend. I am very sorry to greet you like this.”

    I bowed my head and greeted Seongmin Moon.

    Still, as my father-in-law, I have to show at least some courtesy.

    “Surin? Could it be that Surin revealed my information?”

    “….”

    However, after hearing what followed, I became reluctant to even observe the bare minimum of courtesy.

    Well, there are people like that.

    “Don’t look betrayed by your daughter. You abandoned Sister Surin and ran away.”

    “… I was just gone for a moment. Someday, Surin will understand my feelings.”

    Moon Seong-min looked at me and aroused his magic.

    It’s a shame, but even my boyfriend doesn’t care about me.

    “I said he was my boyfriend. Now that I see him, I think I’ve seen him around Surin. If you were there, Surin would listen to me too.”

    “… Probably not.”

    If they hear that I’ve been caught, wouldn’t they cut themselves off before they even hear what’s next?

    What if a father doesn’t know his daughter like that?

    “Do you know how much trouble Sister Surin is going through? How long will she take revenge on that bastard?”

    I encouraged conversation to relieve my frustration, but also raised my magical power and took a defensive stance.

    It’s not strange to be attacked at any time, so you need to be prepared when talking.

    “Surin will soon understand my feelings. She is my daughter.”

    “I don’t intend to understand, so please tell me why you won’t give up your revenge. Is that revenge more important than father and daughter?”

    “… I do not know.”

    “…?”

    “The purpose of my life is to rid this world of demons. That is all.”

    Seongmin Moon raised his magical power and burned his hostility towards me.

    If it weren’t for Surin’s older sister’s father, he would have been swearing at her.

    No, it’s mine anyway, so isn’t it okay to swear?

    Cluck-cluck-cluck-

    “This power that can destroy everything. I will achieve revenge with this power….”

    Seongmin Moon muttered as he wrapped himself in magical energy.

    A man who became a demon to kill demons.

    Seongmin Moon.

    In the original game, he was a character created with strong hatred.

    Because he was so crazy about revenge that he gave up everything to kill Mine.

    But Moon Seong-min, whom I met in person, looked dangerous.

    Rather than seeking revenge on Mine… I feel trapped by constraints of my own making.

    He had been consumed by the rule, ‘I must eliminate demons.’

    ‘In the end, is this person also led by fate?’

    Chiron said that the Maestro was destined to destroy the world.

    Irene is destined to like Alice.

    Moon Seong-min, the character who kills Mine.

    Apart from that, all the other extras also moved according to the original.

    I don’t know what his fate is like this.

    I don’t know if I can really change it… You have to make an effort.

    Exciting-

    As soon as my combat senses were activated, a rune barrier surrounded me.

    Only now did Moon Seong-min recognize me as an enemy.

    Kwaaang-

    At the same time, Moon Seong-min’s fist flew towards me with the sound of air exploding.

    As he blocked the attack with a rune barrier and increased his magical power, Seongmin Moon continued speaking.

    “I don’t have time, so I’ll finish it quickly. If it’s Surin’s boyfriend, I’ll have to use him as a hostage, so I won’t let him die.”

    “… I’m really going crazy.”

    Seongmin Moon’s eyes were filled with madness.

    Due to the nature of the demon, it becomes like that as the battle continues. It will probably get worse as the battle intensifies.

    It was something that was predicted from the moment I became a Mine… It’s not very comfortable to see my girlfriend’s father like that.

    Crackle deuk-deuk-

    I spread the rune barrier in all directions to defend against Seongmin Moon’s fist.

    Moon Seong-min attacked dozens of times in a short period of time, and the speed was unusual.

    I quickly turned on ‘Open Eyes’ and reacted to the attack, but it was quite inadequate.

    “Tsk….”

    It’s so damn fast.

    Moon Seong-min’s fists were so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye. Not only were they fast, but they also had significant destructive power.

    Because the shock wave coming from my fist was devastating the area around me.

    Just blocking the punch was too much for me and I had no chance to counterattack.

    Moreover, each and every attack of Moon Seong-min, who had much more combat experience than me, was fatal.

    The strong rune barrier was trembling due to the attack that was exquisitely targeting my weak points.

    The magic power that I bounced off suddenly poured into the executive office and broke the furniture.

    It’s been a long time since I lifted the rune barrier that blocked my surroundings as I was concentrating my energy on blocking Seongmin Moon’s attack.

    Other demons will probably arrive soon.

    ‘We have to win the game quickly.’

    Even if Moon Seong-min runs away, he only has to take care of himself, but I have to take care of three more.

    However, it was too early to meet Moon Seong-min to wait for support from Rebecca, Scarlett, or Nam Da-eun.

    Since they are also in a position to assassinate them, it would be better to handle it directly rather than waiting for support.

    ‘Blood Beat… ‘To the maximum.’

    Exciting-

    It expanded the mana circuit and put a strain on my body.

    We must do everything we can now.

    Kuuuung-

    I strengthened the rune barrier and exploded magical power in front.

    All you need is a moment.

    As long as there is an opportunity to set up a magic circle in the air, I can launch an offensive.

    “Hmm!”

    Moon Seong-min, who was pushed away by my magic, cheered up and rolled on the floor with his left foot.

    At the same time, a strong magical storm coming from his toes obscured my vision.

    “What the fuck….”

    Kwaaang-!

    A strong impact hitting the front.

    The rune barrier just collapsed due to an attack aimed at a gap in the barrier.

    A life that feels vivid.

    You said you wouldn’t kill me, but if you can survive like that, how strong is he?

    Extremely dangerous situation.

    I planned a spell that would be as effective as possible.

    ‘Frost Area’

    Extremely cold cold that freezes at the touch of a touch.

    Moon Seong-min, who noticed the eerie coldness spreading around my body, was frightened and kept his distance.

    I took advantage of that opportunity and gathered magical energy into my hands.

    ‘Spiral’

    The spiraling magic of the lightning separated Moon Seong-min and me.

    The moment the magician who uses martial arts became far away from the wizard, the victory was already in my favor.

    Moon Seong-min, surprised by the cold and realizing that he had made a mistake, walked away from me.

    They’ll either find a way to dig in again, or they’ll give up and run away.

    But I will never let that happen.

    I maintained the spiral and spewed out magical chains.

    Kwasik-

    Seongmin Moon moved his body to somehow find a gap, but as long as he maintained the spiral, the closer he got, the more he would be torn to pieces. He even tried to break through with force, but he never gave me a gap.

    The very intention of capturing me in the first place was hubris.

    Clap-clap-clack-

    There was quite a long back and forth, and eventually Moon Seong-min’s body began to touch my magic chain.

    One by one, Moon Seong-min allowed his body to fall to the floor with his limbs tied to me.

    “I recommend you stop resisting. I don’t want to hurt my father-in-law either.”

    I said, drawing a magic circle with one hand.

    To be honest, I don’t like the person who abandoned Moon Su-rin and ran away… Still, he is my father.

    Disposal should be left to Sister Surin.

    “…For someone so young, you have quite a bit of skill. Are you perhaps the famous genius wizard?”

    “I’m proud that the rumor has spread to Mine as well.”

    “But this kind of complacency is not good. You never know what will happen in real life.”

    Perhaps because the battle was over, Moon Seong-min seemed to have regained his senses.

    Looking at him like this, he looks like a really kind guy, but I don’t know why he’s like that.

    Just give me some pointless advice.

    “I know. I don’t know what method they used, but to me, Mr. Moon Seong-min, no. My father-in-law looks like two people.”

    “… what?”

    Quad deud deuk-

    As soon as Seongmin Moon opened his eyes wide, the magic circle I had prepared was activated.

    The target is right behind Moon Seong-min.

    A tree vine full of magical power came out from the floor and began to wrap around another Moon Seong-min who was hiding behind Moon Seong-min.

    At the same time, Moon Seong-min, who was bound by the mana chains, disappeared like melting snow, and only the mana chains fell into the air.

    “I don’t know what skill it is, but… did it distort space? For some reason, it didn’t feel right.”

    I learned another thing.

    For some reason, the attack was abnormally fast.

    Although it is different from Nam Da-eun’s method, Moon Seong-min also has the ability to touch space.

    Seongmin Moon nodded, looking at the vines that tied his body.

    “… Amazing. Really amazing. If you were Mine, you would have risked everything to eliminate me at this very moment.”

    “That sounds like you are trying to run away, father-in-law.”

    “Of course. There’s no need to waste energy fighting humans.”

    Patter-patter-

    Seongmin Moon frowned and started cutting off my vines.

    It was surprising where that kind of power came from.

    I was surprised and put in more magic power, but by the time I turned the flow towards me, one of Moon Seong-min’s arms had already stuck out.

    “I hope we don’t run into each other next time.”

    Jiying-

    Magical power began to emerge from Moon Seong-min’s fingers.

    Since it is not immediately interpreted, it is not magic, but rather his unique power.

    “What is that…!”

    I opened my eyes wide as I saw Seongmin Moon slowly fading away.

    My body was gradually becoming lighter, like cigarette smoke disappearing in the air.

    Seeing as the magic power is also weakening, it seems like the power is truly disappearing from existence.

    He quickly released the vines and released magical energy into Moon Seong-min’s fading body.

    Challang-

    But it was already too late.

    Although he grabbed something that caught his eye for a moment with his magic, Moon Seong-min’s body just disappeared.

    “There was a reason why I wasn’t caught.”

    A movement ability that cannot be tracked by magic.

    It is different from the teleportation used by Chiron.

    It seemed like the ability to move to nearby random coordinates.

    I wouldn’t have gotten that far.

    But in the current situation, it was the perfect means of escape.

    I have more things to tell Sister Surin.

    “What is this?”

    I looked at the oval-shaped accessory in my hand.

    When I turned it around and looked closely, I saw a seam on the side.

    When I opened it, I saw a photo of a young man, woman, and child.

    “… It’s Surin’s older sister.”

    Surin’s older sister’s family photo.

    Does the fact that you still carry this around with you mean that your love for your family is sincere?

    But why does he not stop seeking revenge on Mine?

    “Tsk.”

    Chak-

    I put the pendant in my pocket and came out of the office.

    We fought so loudly, but seeing that no one came… .

    “Uh, uhhh! Uh, uh! Hey, delivery man! I met you well. Throw yourself over there right now! Give me time to run away…!”

    Sigh-

    I dropped the head of the demon running towards me.

    I knew it.

    The other women are already taking care of the remnants.

    “Haa… Huh? Hoyeon?!”

    “Da-eun. Are you okay?”

    “Yes. But what’s wrong with your clothes? Are you hurt badly?”

    “No. We fought a little too hard. How are the remnants being disposed of?”

    “Mr. Scarlett is blocking the entrance. Come this way.”

    “… Let me help you first.”

    I chased after Nam Da-eun, shaking off my clothes.
