I naturally expected that things would change once Helena, who had left us for a while, rejoined us after completing her recovery.

Actually, if you think about it, isn’t it natural that the number of people will increase by one?

Just looking at the number of hands, what used to be six has now become eight, so of course, even if something changes, it is bound to change.

However, the picture I drew in my head was not such a complacent picture.

That’s because I evaluated Helena’s abilities quite highly.

Of course, I’ve never seen her fight in person, but that’s what I thought nonetheless.

No, I was sure.

Honestly, from my point of view, I was confident because Helena, Hayoung, and Dangsoso all smelled like Reina from the hypnosis school world.

Should I say that I felt like a so-called major character?

And what more…

‘If you think about it with common sense, there’s no way that a beautiful wizard with huge breasts like that would have fallen because she was weak.’

I’m wearing two magical power pockets of that size, but I’m feeling weak?

Then there is something wrong with the world, and it is definitely not Helena’s fault.

Anyway… for that reason, I was secretly waiting for Helena to complete her recovery and return.

‘Did recovering and coming back mean awakening…?’

Helena, whom I met again, was somewhat different from before.

What felt different was the aura emanating from the body.

What can I say… it feels like the world itself will turn according to her will?

If I were to express it with a bit of exaggeration, it would be like that.

And… my feeling was not wrong.

Helena, who returned, easily subdued the girl-type monster that gave even Cheongpung, the most expert among us, a hard time.

In the process, it was clear that Helena received some help from the wires that Cheongpung had placed all over the place.

And Helena, who had used the power of the wire to prevent something wearing the girl’s mask from moving, looked back at me and Hayoung, who were standing still with a puzzled expression, and said,

“You both did well. To be honest, I thought it might be a bit risky, but I didn’t expect it to succeed so quickly.”

“What… what happened?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, I feel a little something…”

When I said that things seemed to have changed, Helena smiled brightly after hearing what I said.

The only thing he added was that he had a good sense of it.

“Actually, in a way, this is all thanks to Soohyun.”

“Yes? Me?”

No, what did I do…?

Could it be that what I cut down was like a sealing stone that sealed something within Helena…?

The remark, the meaning of which I could not understand, was so excruciating that even such thoughts occurred to me.

“There was something I was personally researching. ”

“Um…?”

“But since the topic was so vague, I was at a standstill at some point…”

To be more specific about human beings, it is said that by studying my body, I came to have a clue to break through the blockage.

At that point, Blue Wind’s eyes, which had been watching Helena with a slightly wary gaze, suddenly turned towards me, but there was no time to pay attention to that right away.

For that to be the case, the unprecedented presence emanating from Helena, who was right before my eyes, was too overwhelming.

“This is the result.”

“Even if you say that…”

There was no way I could understand.

For me, magic was a means of fulfilling my childhood dreams and something I still had a lot to learn.

Now, I’ve only placed a circle in my heart, and I haven’t even mastered the so-called basic magic, so what else can I do if I’m not taking baby steps?

So I spoke honestly without any hesitation, but maybe he liked my attitude of not trying to hide my ignorance and being honest about it.

The corners of Helena’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Hmm… I don’t know how to explain this.”

is it···.

I don’t know. Is it true?

“Did you know that the origin of magic is actually demons?”

What…?

Is this real…?

“Looking at your expression, it seems like this is your first time seeing it.”

No, that’s right… because you didn’t tell me…

I remember that such a setting did not really exist in the original game.

“Although improvements and developments were made in numerous areas until it became what people commonly call modern magic, it was very different from its original appearance… but the first ‘magic’ that first appeared on this earth was clearly that of demons. .”

So, Helena explained that at the time, the distinction between a warlock and a wizard was very vague.

“The wizards of the past tried to seek the truth by making deals with the devil, and while the world was in extreme confusion due to them, ‘he’ appeared.”

“That…?”

“Actually, I’m not sure if it’s her or him. Unfortunately, there are no records left about that part. However, the name by which that person was called was conveyed clearly. What is that…”

The person who completed Helena’s continued remarks in that way was a completely different person.

No, the expression ‘human’ might not be appropriate.

That thing clearly had the shape of a human, but it could never have been a human.

How can a being that radiates such an ominous energy from its entire body be called a human being?

“The First Sage.”

A word spit out as if chewed.

What was contained within it was hatred.

The hatred that seemed to have accumulated and accumulated over an enormous number of years was tightly contained in the girl’s voice.

So it almost sounded like the growling of an animal, not a human.

“Hey, you are a human wizard.”

“Hmm? It’s amazing that I still have the strength to speak.”

“You just said that with your own mouth. There is no record of whether the first wise man was a woman or a man.”

What is the purpose of suddenly dragging the topic in that direction?

Was I not the only one who felt such doubts from the remarks of something disguised as a girl?

At that moment, Helena’s eyebrows rose slightly.

Did he manage to detect Helena’s reaction even though her eyes were closed?

The girl, who was trapped by something that was a combination of wire and blue electric current, curled the corners of her mouth and squirmed.

It was right after that that something like black powder leaked out between the girl’s lips.

“Of course, there would be no records left.”

“Of course, what does that mean?”

“Do you want to know?”

“Are you saying you want to make a deal now?”

“You wizards all seem to be very vulnerable to curiosity.”

“Sure… wizards are a bit weak in that area.”

As Helena said that, the corners of her mouth were suddenly curled up in one direction.

“But what should I do? For a wizard, I’m pretty clear about the division between construction and construction.”

Even in this situation, I have no intention of making a deal with you just to satisfy my curiosity.

Helena was saying that.

“No transaction necessary. I’m just curious about the reaction.”

“Hmm… I feel like there’s something going on…”

“The first wise man… was not a human being.”

Huh?

“That guy… was not a human being, but a being like me.”

“A being like you?”

“I think you already guessed it, right?”

“···Devil.”

“Yes.”

The corner of the girl’s mouth seemed to curl up, and what could be considered the outer skin was torn to pieces with a popping sound.

What appeared with him was a strange monster with only one arm and a grotesquely developed body structure.

“I was overjoyed when that damned traitor chose to perish himself… but I never thought that 3,000 years later, I would be intercepted by a being with similar power to him. That also applies to humans.”

A voice that seems to be mocking itself.

As this flowed into my ears, incontinence began to appear on the devil’s body, which was painted in pitch black.

But then it shattered into pieces like a mirror breaking.

“Is it over…?”

Know.

That being said, if you say things like this carelessly, a flag can be raised.

Nevertheless, the reason I had no choice but to say those words was because the sight I had just seen was so overwhelming.

“No, it’s just sealed. Demons are closer to something conceptual rather than a material being, so they cannot be defeated unless they choose to annihilate themselves.”

“Hmm, I see.”

“Anyway… I’ve taken care of one… Now, shall we go take care of the remaining one? ”

What is Helena’s perspective when she says that?

Before I knew it, I was heading in the direction of the terminal entrance.
