Chapter Index

    The center of the fake dungeon magic circle.

    There was a man standing in the middle of the black space.

    The horns and black wings that were always hidden were revealed.

    The fake dungeon magic circle was quite burdensome even for Lucifer’s abilities, so he had to use his best power.

    “To be able to create such large-scale magic… I wonder if he’s really human.”

    Lucifer looked bored as he watched people falling down.

    From the center of the fake dungeon, you can control and check the entire dungeon.

    This is information that I naturally learned as soon as I captured the magic circle.

    “Is it still not enough? Fine tuning is needed. I need to get used to it to some extent.”

    Sigh-

    Lucifer naturally adjusted the magic circle with his fingertips.

    It was a top-level magic circle that had never been seen even in hell, but strangely enough, this dungeon was composed of hell’s magic power.

    It is a magical power that Lucifer is familiar with.

    “It’s a very foreign magic. I don’t know what its purpose is.”

    This magic circle plunges any creature that enters its range into a cleverly constructed dungeon.

    The dungeon is very solid, and everything is organically connected, so it is virtually impossible to calculate it from the outside.

    Lucifer couldn’t understand where he was trying to use such incredible magic.

    “And you’re so kind.”

    If the goal is to kill people, I can understand it somehow.

    Even if it is inefficient, you can think of the killer as having unique tastes.

    But this dungeon had no killing power.

    The demon beasts had almost no aggression,

    If a person in the dungeon is seriously injured or near death, they lose consciousness and are isolated in a special space with healing magic.

    It is truly the height of inefficiency.

    There were more than just one or two areas that needed fixing.

    Ominous magic leaks from Lucifer’s hands.

    New magic begins to be applied to the dungeon.

    Closes friendly healing spaces and increases the aggression of hell’s demons.

    At the same time, Ho-yeon Lee’s location is determined.

    “… Is there a protector hanging in the healing space? He’s such a strange human. No, he’s not human after all?”

    Lucifer, who strengthened the aggressiveness of the demon beasts, increased the danger of the dungeon and identified Ho-yeon Lee’s location.

    Of course, I knew his magic by heart, so I was able to find it quickly.

    “hmm?”

    While other humans band together and figure out the situation.

    There was a point quickly approaching the center.

    “As always, you are an exceptional human being. You understand that I am here.”

    Hoyeon Lee.

    His magical power is coming this way.

    “I guess we should get ready to welcome guests.”

    The reason this dungeon was taken was not to kill humans.

    The first goal is the capture of Lee Ho-yeon.

    Lucifer paused his magic controlling the dungeon for a moment and walked toward the center.

    *

    ‘Acceleration.’

    The remaining magical energy that fills the body lingers outside.

    Lee Ho-yeon ran to the center, even using acceleration.

    Excited. Excited.

    It made me realize that my heart was beating faster and closer to the center.

    The road became twisted and complicated, but since I basically remembered the map, I was able to find it quickly.

    Jiing-

    Rattling.

    As soon as I crossed a certain line, my head suddenly started pounding and my surroundings became distorted.

    It was to the point where I was confused as to whether I was standing on the ground properly.

    Lee Ho-yeon awakened his spirit by activating his magic power.

    “….”

    It was like when I was a child and started spinning around for no reason and then stopped. Lee Ho-yeon shook her head from side to side and caught her breath, as the dizziness still persisted.

    A dark space unfolds.

    The center of the fake dungeon set by Hoyeon Lee himself.

    There stood a man wearing a black tuxedo, looking this way.

    A mountain goat’s horns extend above its head. Sharp eyes that seem to have been expressed by an excellent painter of ominousness.

    A deep look in his eyes as if he had mastered everything. A solid body and overflowing magical power.

    Lucifer was looking at Hoyeon Lee.

    “An uninvited guest has arrived.”

    “… You must be the uninvited guest, you bastard.”

    Lucifer looked Hoyeon Lee up and down and said.

    A low voice that pierces your ears.

    Hoyeon Lee glared at Lucifer with his eyes frowned.

    Excited. Excited. Excited.

    A strong presence that can be felt just by standing still.

    A sense of battle envelops my body.

    As if I were a herbivore that had encountered a predator, my stomach was trembling and my whole body was screaming to run away.

    “…Fuck.”

    Ho-yeon Lee felt like she wanted to run away and scream for her life.

    Wouldn’t it be easier if I lost my mind like this? I even thought about it.

    ‘The opponent is the devil. ‘It’s natural to be strong.’

    The best boss in the original.

    A monster who is the strongest of Hell and possesses all kinds of strange abilities.

    Lee Ho-yeon controlled her expression and opened her mouth.

    “… How on earth did you take control of the magic circle? There were definitely no traces.”

    “My magical eye only observes things and leaves no trace. Even though it was superior to a human’s magic circle, it couldn’t avoid my magical eye.”

    “It’s really fucking bad.”

    “Aren’t you curious as to why the magic circle was taken over?”

    “shut up.”

    Hoyeon Lee cursed and bit her lip.

    I saw a study somewhere that said swearing when you’re stressed has a stress-relieving effect.

    ‘That’s not wrong.’

    In my heart, I want to run away right now, but spitting out swear words makes me feel a little better.

    Of course, the reason Lucifer took control of the magic circle was Lee Ho-yeon himself.

    I know that, so I ran like this.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s body was surrounded by magical power.

    It was to block the intangible pressure flowing from Lucifer’s body.

    “I don’t remember us being friends, but your reaction makes me feel like you know me well.”

    “…I picked up a lot of things.”

    “Then where should I start the story? I had a lot of expectations and interest in you, Ho-yeon Lee.”

    Lucifer’s magical eyes glowed red.

    The target was Lee Ho-yeon, but the results were still hazy.

    That human’s strength, magic pattern, and ability. Nothing could penetrate it.

    “It’s even more surprising when I actually meet him. Not only is it not enough to avoid my magical eyes, but he also has such talent and ability as a human. I can only say it’s a blessing.”

    “….”

    Hoyeon Lee quietly listened to Lucifer.

    Anything that came out of his mouth could be important information.

    Lucifer, who was looking at Hoyeon Lee with an interesting expression, hardened his expression and continued speaking.

    “But, I can see your feelings today.”

    “… what?”

    The fact that Lucifer’s magical eyes couldn’t pass through was like a wall.

    The magical power surrounding the Demon King’s Castle in Hell was like that, and it was like that in the human world as well.

    The Maestro’s power to summon the Demon King. And even Lee Ho-yeon.

    Among them, Hoyeon Lee was special.

    Unlike Maestro, where only part of his power is hidden, all of his power is covered, and most of his emotions as a human being are only visible vaguely.

    There was a time when I thought Lee Ho-yeon was a transcendent being.

    However, for some reason, Lee Ho-yeon is now able to see emotions a little more clearly than before.

    “Am I afraid?”

    “….”

    “That’s how you feel right now. You’re desperately trying to hide the fact that you want to run away right now.”

    The emotions he has as a human being pour out to Lucifer.

    fear. fear. Ominous.

    I feel many negative emotions.

    We know he is not a transcendent being, but the strange thing is that there is no added feeling of surprise.

    Even though he revealed his feelings in detail, Lee Ho-yeon still takes Lucifer’s magical eyes for granted.

    No, it seemed like he wasn’t curious about the existence of Lucifer at all.

    “Even though you are afraid of me, you are not at all surprised that I can read your emotions. And you seem to know me very well. Lee Ho-yeon. What on earth is your identity?”

    Ho-yeon Lee scratched his head as he watched Lucifer chattering alone and wondering alone.

    From Lucifer’s perspective, it would be absurd.

    He doesn’t wonder why the magic circle was stolen, and he acts as if he knows his magic eyes well even though he can’t see them.

    But there was no reason for Lee Ho-yeon to explain that.

    It’s none of his business what Lucifer thinks of him.

    On the contrary, I would be even more thankful if you gave me a strange misunderstanding.

    ‘I don’t think I’ll be giving out any particular information.’

    Lee Ho-yeon slowly calmed down her emotions.

    Erase your feelings.

    Gradually, the tremors in my body disappear, and the thought of wanting to run away fades away.

    “What is it? My eyes….”

    “It looks like I can’t see the Mystic Eyes anymore.”

    Just as you were surprised when you first saw Lucifer,

    This time it’s Lucifer’s turn to be surprised.

    His magical eyes are the power of this world.

    It is impossible to pierce one’s own abilities given as a special gift from God.

    ‘Clear mental power’

    The reason Lucifer was able to read his emotions better was because Lee Ho-yeon was conscious of not using his ‘clear mental power’.

    Ho-Yeon Lee smiled as he looked at Lucifer, who had an expression on his face that said he couldn’t understand what was happening in front of him.

    “Are you afraid of me now?”

    Opening eyes.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes shine golden.

    Lucifer’s red magical eyes frown.

    “…Are you trying to fight me?”

    “Then, should we just look at the guy who plundered someone else’s magic circle?”

    Blood Beat.

    Hoyeon Lee’s magic circuit expands more than twice.

    Excited. Excited.

    The sense of battle awakens every sense in the body.

    The moment your ‘clear mental power’ is turned on, your head is filled with thoughts about how you can effectively deal with Lucifer.

    “It may not be a good choice. This place is filled with the magic power of hell. No matter how hard you struggle, you, a human, cannot defeat me. It might be more helpful for you to talk.”

    “That’s your opinion.”

    It is true that this environment was unfavorable to Lee Ho-yeon, but it was not the time to consider such things.

    The current owner of the magic circle is Lucifer.

    The fake dungeon was altered differently from Lee Ho-yeon’s intentions.

    It has become much more dangerous than the original risk, and has become an environment where people can actually die.

    That’s why you need to take the initiative away as quickly as possible.

    The good news is that Lee Ho-yeon created the dungeon based on the premise of the magic of ‘emotion amplification.’

    ‘Emotion amplification’ was an important element in the fake dungeon magic circle.

    Since it was able to amplify people’s anxiety and fear, there is less to worry about.

    Lee Ho-yeon lowered the aggression of the demon beasts and eliminated almost all elements that could potentially threaten the heroine.

    ‘Access to the healing space was completely blocked, so there would have been insufficient time to correct that.’

    Ho-yeon Lee does not want to continue fighting in this situation.

    But now I have to do whatever it takes.

    “Haha… keung.”

    Lucifer covered his mouth and laughed, making a conflicting expression with Lee Ho-yeon.

    While living a long and short life, humans were always insignificant to Lucifer.

    That thought did not change whether in hell or in the human world.

    He was a being that could be erased from the world with a single wave of his hand if he wanted to.

    The Lee Ho-yeon in front of me was different.

    Although it is a special being that blocks the evil eye, there are so many suspicious things about it.

    A human being full of interest that stimulates his or her curiosity.

    It is a turning point in a boring life.

    Lucifer raised the strength of his entire body.

    A living being called a human being has an exaggerated pride compared to the power he possesses.

    I have a lot of questions, but I just need to ask them slowly after catching up with Hoyeon Lee.

    Since the plan was to capture Lee Ho-yeon alive from the beginning, the plan did not change at all.

    “Good. I thought from the beginning that the possibility of a solution through dialogue would be low. Let’s force a conversation.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer’s murderous intent exploded.
