Chapter Index

    The space in the center of the fake dungeon is shaking.

    Since the current owner of the magic circle is Lucifer, it is also Lucifer who controls the magic power inside.

    Taaang – The magical power of hell exploded, and Lucifer’s deep malice and murderous intent struck Lee Ho-yeon’s body.

    Lucifer’s eyes glow red, and his huge black wings spread out.

    “I never thought I would show you something like this in the human world. No human has ever seen my horns and wings, so you can consider it an honor.”

    Lucifer gathered the magic of hell overflowing from the fake dungeon magic circle into the center.

    Ho-yeon Lee, who felt the deadly force emanating from the maddened devil, once again painfully realized the gap between himself and Lucifer.

    It was a little different from the feeling of being overwhelmed in every aspect that I felt when I first met Im Sol.

    Like when the dog first met the tiger.

    It feels like I’ve met a completely different species.

    “Deployment of the Demon Heavenly Palace.”

    Lee Ho-yeon deployed the Demon Heavenly Palace and shook off the magical power of hell pressing on all directions.

    Unlike myself, who had to be sincere, I felt relaxed toward Lucifer in front of me.

    You can’t imagine losing in this environment.

    ‘… It’s been a while since I’ve had a fight like this.’

    A battle that risks each other’s lives.

    Although he brought out as much sincerity as possible in his sparring with Im Sol, he didn’t actually risk his life.

    The experience was different from Lucifer, who crossed the line of fire every day from hell.

    Excited. Excited.

    However, Lee Ho-yeon’s body was ready for battle like a gladiator who risked his life every day.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s [combat sense] allowed her to withstand the fierceness coming from Lucifer.

    “It’s magic I’ve seen before. It’s surprising that you can use it even in this environment, but you’re looking at me so disrespectfully.”

    Lucifer has seen Lee Ho-yeon’s magic.

    It is a magical power that cannot be seen through at all, but competing for territory in an environment as close to hell as it is now is arrogance itself.

    Paaang-

    The magical power of hell flowing from Lucifer’s body gradually increases.

    A storm of magical power envelops the area.

    The magical energy filled with ominousness vibrated inside the space and put pressure on Hoyeon Lee.

    “This is my domain, Lucifer. In the last few decades, none of those who have invaded my domain have survived, so you are lucky.”

    “It’s really fucking bad.”

    I’m lucky and it’s an honor, but I’m a child with a lot of pride.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who covered her face from the crazy howling wind, checked the magical power around her.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s special move, Macheonggung, was not using its power properly.

    This is because Lucifer’s magic power is so strong that it is assisted by the magic circle itself.

    Hoyeon Lee gritted his teeth as he glared at Lucifer, who was standing a few dozen meters away.

    When facing a strong opponent that you think you can never defeat, you need to find something that gives you an advantage over your opponent.

    Typical examples include strength, speed, and numbers.

    And other factors as well.

    ‘If you can’t control the territory, you have no chance of winning.’

    The inside of the dungeon is already filled with Lucifer’s hellish magic.

    Continuing the fight in this environment is tantamount to suicide.

    We must deploy the Demon Heavenly Palace no matter what.

    Lee Ho-yeon once again raised his magic power.

    “…Deployment of the Demon Heavenly Palace.”

    Excited. Excited. Excited.

    The blue magical energy pulsing around Lee Ho-yeon’s body begins to turn indigo blue.

    The spreading waves of the Demon Heavenly Palace begin to dominate the surrounding space.

    Macheonggung, a mixture of the magical power of hell used in Imsol and Dalian.

    Ma Cheongung, which exercises control over the surrounding magical power, established Lee Ho-yeon’s domain by responding to Lucifer’s magical power.

    “Hoo….”

    Lucifer’s eyes widened as he saw Lee Ho-yeon, who was familiar with the magic of hell.

    It was not a level of magical power that could be ignored as a human being.

    Moreover, seeing that he is showing that level of magic in this place where his magic power is scattered, it is safe to say that Lee Ho-yeon’s skills are far above Lucifer’s expectations.

    “I’m looking forward to seeing how much fun you’ll make me.”

    Lucifer extended his hand towards Hoyeon Lee.

    The jet-black magical power gathering in front of him gradually grows in size.

    It was a simple magic cannon, but the force it contained was so powerful.

    “….”

    Hoyeon Lee saw the magic cannon gathering in Lucifer’s hand and immediately launched an arc.

    The three magic spheres rotating around the body simultaneously drew the strongest magic among the magic that Hoyeon Lee could use.

    ‘Eclipse.’

    The magical power swells as if it will explode.

    A black sun drawn from three arcs.

    Lee Ho-yeon continued calculations even with the arc on her back.

    With his golden eyes shining, he calculates the trajectory of the magic cannon that Lucifer will fire.

    The distance between Lucifer and myself was only a few tens of meters.

    It was a distance that could be reached in an instant if acceleration was used.

    ‘You need to inflict as much damage as possible on the first attack.’

    As always, the biggest opportunity is when the opponent lets down their guard.

    Ho-yeon Lee knows Lucifer’s abilities, but Lucifer doesn’t really know Ho-yeon Lee.

    You have to take advantage of that gap.

    No matter how strong Lucifer is, he won’t be able to withstand a spiral hit at close range.

    “Indeed. Are you thinking of attacking me with firepower? I know your abilities are outstanding, but being trapped in the well of the human world, your confidence is sky-high.”

    Although the magic power contained in that black sun was enormous, it was nothing compared to Lucifer.

    Lucifer shook his hands off with a calm expression.

    The magic cannons gathered in front of his hands were fired in a straight line towards Hoyeon Lee.

    Kwaaang-

    The magic cannon, which was a single ray, suddenly split into three branches and rushed towards Lee Ho-yeon.

    Ho-yeon Lee swallowed his saliva at the enormous power that vibrated the space.

    The response was quick.

    I knew that the magic cannon was divided into three branches.

    A small eclipse created from three arcs corresponds to each magic cannon.

    The Eclipse collided with Lucifer’s magic and was shattered, and the falling fragments were blocked with a rune barrier.

    Everything up to this point is within the expected range.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who broke through the magic cannon, accelerated his body.

    Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power and Magic Heavenly Palace have grown.

    And the acceleration, including the blood beat, was so fast that it was incomparable to previous accelerations.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who amplified his incredible speed in an instant, reached Lucifer’s side, leaving a blurry afterimage.

    Phrases-

    At the same time, a spiral is created in the hand.

    A lightning bolt that can cause fatal injuries just by grazing it shakes in Lee Ho-yeon’s hands.

    “… hmm?”

    The moment Lucifer, who has not yet found Hoyeon Lee, turns his head.

    Hoyeon Lee’s spiral collided with Lucifer.

    Kkwajijijijijik-!

    The spiral consuming ominous magical power spun quickly, and Lee Ho-yeon was unable to overcome the backlash and was thrown far away.

    “Big…!”

    Quaaaang!

    Lee Ho-yeon, swept away by the huge explosion, closed her eyes.

    The spiral that collided with Lucifer’s magic disappeared with a loud roar.

    After a while, Lee Ho-yeon looked straight ahead after his vision was restored and saw a moving figure in the smoke.

    “… Is this a technology that accelerates space? It uses some pretty interesting magic.”

    Thump-thump-

    Lucifer brushed off the dust on his tuxedo and calmly walked out of the smoke.

    And then he looked down at Hoyeon Lee as if he wasn’t the least bit surprised.

    Lucifer’s magical eyes are, after all, a part of his body.

    His natural reflexes and physical abilities allow him to quickly respond to dangerous situations, even if he cannot read Lee Ho-yeon’s magic.

    “… crazy monster bastard.”

    Hoyeon Lee didn’t change her expression, but she was feeling devastated.

    Clearly, the spiral went in properly. Lee Ho-yeon clearly sensed the feel of the fingertips.

    ‘But there are no wounds at all?’

    Perhaps Lucifer did something in that short period of time.

    Since the biggest opportunity was missed, it is obvious that the battle will become more difficult in the future.

    “You’re strong.”

    Meanwhile, Lucifer was still smiling.

    It is truly unbelievable strength.

    Lucifer’s interest exploded just because a single human was sharing a sum with him.

    “You have definitely surpassed the human species by a long way. I am the official successor to the Demon King. Lucifer approves of this.”

    “It’s recognition and an honor, but please stop. It’s annoying.”

    All the Hell guys were weird, but Lucifer wasn’t normal either.

    “But you’re reckless. You can’t beat me if you fight that way.”

    “shut up.”

    I acknowledge Hoyeon Lee’s strength.

    Lucifer now viewed Hoyeon Lee as a completely different species from other humans.

    However, the fact that this fight was established was due to Lucifer’s skill rather than Lee Ho-yeon’s strength.

    If you give up the idea of capturing him alive and do your best, you can crush him at any time.

    Lucifer knew it well, and even Lee Ho-yeon knew it.

    “If you’re that strong, you probably feel it too. I’m stronger than you, and you’re weaker than me. There’s a slim chance that I’ll be killed by you. So why don’t you give up the fight?”

    “… I told you to shut up. I don’t want to fight with my babies like you.”

    Who knows who would risk their life just because they like it?

    The only crazy people who enjoy fighting for their lives are the demons and those who live in hell.

    Lee Ho-yeon, a more ordinary person than anyone else, never has such strange thoughts.

    However, there are things that need to be protected on this side as well, and there are circumstances.

    The closest thing to me is the women I love.

    And the people who were trapped in the dungeon because of Lee Ho-yeon.

    Broadly speaking, to the whole world.

    Everything rests on Lee Ho-yeon’s shoulders.

    It means that there is a lot of work to be done as the shoulders are heavy.

    “I have a lot of responsibilities too… I have to clean up the poop I made.”

    If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have made a fake dungeon magic circle in the first place.

    Lee Ho-yeon straightened her body and increased her magical power.

    In any case, the opponent is rarely weaker than you.

    Hoyeon Lee’s job is always the same.

    To kill the opponent by taking advantage of the empty space until the end.

    So you can never give up.

    “Hoo….”

    The golden eye, which contrasts with Lucifer’s red glowing magical eye, scans Lucifer’s magical power.

    Lucifer felt curious as he saw Lee Ho-yeon burning with fighting spirit.

    Ho-yeon Lee is one of the strongest humans in the human world, and it is safe to say that among them, Ho-yeon Lee is the only one who can stand up to Lucifer on his own.

    But what is it that makes that person so desperate?

    ‘Fake dungeon magic circle.’

    There’s probably a secret here.

    Lucifer looked back at the magic circle once again.

    “Is it for the humans who are locked up?”

    The first candidate is a human.

    Lucifer may not be able to understand, but as members of the same species, it is quite possible to feel sympathy.

    But the strange thing is that the owner of this magic circle is Lee Ho-yeon.

    Those people were destined to be locked up from the beginning.

    ‘no. The reason that makes Lee Ho-yeon so desperate is… .’

    Lucifer recalled something he felt suspicious about in the magic circle.

    Any one place.

    There was an area that was created with as much care as the healing space.

    “Yes. There were special people gathered in one place. Those people were the target.”

    “….”

    Lee Ho-yeon’s heart moves.

    Invisible emotions leak out.

    His magical eyes read Hoyeon Lee’s emotions again.

    Lucifer smiled leisurely as he watched Hoyeon Lee’s reaction.
