hot. The blood coming down from the stab wound on my forehead obscures my vision.

Hehe.

Lee Ho-yeon spat out blood from her mouth. Even if I tightly closed my lips, the bleeding did not stop.

Rather, the blood filling the mouth interferes with the fight, so it is better to spit it out.

“… My head hurts.”

Is it because I lost too much blood? My vision is shaking.

I couldn’t stand properly.

“I don’t understand. I never thought humans would be this strong. But Lee Ho-yeon, even if you surpassed humans, you wouldn’t be able to last long. Why aren’t you afraid of death?”

“I heard that my burden is different from yours.”

Although he pretended to be strong and looked ahead, Lee Ho-yeon was actually in a state where it wouldn’t be surprising if he died at any time.

The cost of the battle, which taxed the entire body, was clear.

The tattered clothes had not been regenerated, so they were as good as nothing, and the tattered limbs looked like they were about to fall off.

There was no place where pain was not felt from head to toe.

If it were an ordinary human being, the pain would have already been enough to cause death from shock, but Lee Ho-yeon’s fighting sense, clear mental strength, and high regenerative power allowed him to remain standing despite the immense pain.

Excited. Excited.

Even in this physical condition, my heart did not stop pounding.

The blood beat was already turned off. There was no magic palace surrounding Lee Ho-yeon.

This is because the mana circuit no longer responds.

The rest is a battle left to your instincts relying on your fighting senses.

“I’ve told you this many times, but if you fight any longer, you’ll only die. It would be better to kneel down and beg for your life right now.”

“….”

Hoyeon Lee took a breath and listened to Lucifer.

I knew it was nonsense, but at least every time Lucifer muttered nonsense like that, I was able to recover a little.

Mana returns little by little to the empty mana circuit.

‘It’s a good thing they’re trying to capture this person alive.’

There is a healing space in the fake dungeon magic circle.

It is a place where living things automatically move when they reach death, but Lucifer does not seem to have any intention of sending himself there.

It must be his pride that he will do whatever it takes to bring him to his knees.

That pride was what kept Lee Ho-yeon going.

‘little bit more.’

Excited.

Ho-yeon Lee raised his restored magic power.

The battle is not over.

There was nowhere to retreat anyway, and I had no intention of giving up.

During the long battle, Lee Ho-yeon was not left without being able to do anything.

He took advantage of the opportunity and hurt Lucifer several times. However, that monstrous regenerative ability even restored the tuxedo to its original state.

But hurting something means you can still do it.

“Its willpower is amazing. It’s the most aggressive creature I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Taaa-

Hoyeon Lee’s magic and Lucifer’s magic collided.

Magical power released as efficiently as possible.

Unlike the snarky appearance just now, it was a fairly sharp attack.

“I recognize you, but….”

Lucifer’s expression wrinkled.

“If you thought you could kill me with the magic you squeezed out, that thought itself is an insult to me!”

“You crazy bastard.”

Lucifer suddenly started to get angry.

The situation itself was absurd, but the power he exuded was no joke.

A tremendous amount of energy poured out from Lucifer’s wings, and Lee Ho-yeon had to step back immediately.

Unlike Lee Ho-yeon, whose entire body was in tatters, Lucifer’s magic power, which was in full condition, was so overwhelming.

That was when I tried to take a step back and collect myself.

“Sigh…!”

A huge shock hit Lee Ho-yeon’s abdomen.

Lee Ho-yeon’s body had already reached its limit.

If you want to capture someone alive, you have to control your strength, but it is also your job to make those who attack you feel the difference in class.

Lucifer rammed his fist into Lee Ho-yeon’s stomach with strong magical power.

thud-

A wave so large that it spread beyond the center and throughout the dungeon.

The magical energy that resonated in the center again and again penetrates Lee Ho-yeon’s entire body.

“ah….”

dump-

No matter how strong your body is, you are ultimately human.

Lee Ho-yeon’s body eventually fell to the cold floor.

‘What the fuck… .”

Jiiing-

A wild tinnitus fills my ears.

Since he couldn’t even hear his own heartbeat, it seemed like his sense of battle had completely disappeared.

Jerk. Jerk.

“I’m surprised you’re still alive.”

Lucifer smiled as he looked down at the human whose strength was exhausted.

Although he won, he accepted that his life was tough.

“I really admire you, so let’s talk. You may not believe it, but I have no intention of destroying the human world. There is no place more interesting to me than this place.”

“….”

Lucifer was saying something, but I couldn’t hear it clearly.

Hoyeon Lee felt the cold floor as she heard the tinnitus sound gradually getting louder.

“As I’ve said several times, I can spare human women if you want. Oh, I’d like to talk to Calliope and some humans first. I have a lot to say, especially to Calliope. Not long ago, I found the key to unlock her ban. just because.”

“I don’t have anything to trust, so will you… trust this devil bastard? Huh.”

Lee Ho-yeon took a slow, deep breath while enduring the pain that hit her entire body.

I couldn’t hold back my frustration and threw out a word, and pain came immediately.

There was a puddle of Lee Ho-yeon’s blood on the floor.

It felt like all the blood had poured out of my body, but it was amazing that I was still alive.

With this level of buff to the main character, wouldn’t it be possible for it to happen again?

dump-

Lee Ho-yeon, who was trying to get up from the floor, fell face down into the puddle again.

No matter how excellent your regenerative ability is, once you cross a certain line, it takes a lot of time to recover.

Right now, Hoyeon Lee’s body was torn apart because she couldn’t cross the line.

“Why can’t you trust me?”

“….”

“Lee Ho-yeon. You act like you know me well. But I think the fact that you’re still alive proves my trust.”

Damn.

Lee Ho-yeon swallowed a curse and slowly inhaled.

I don’t know about Lucifer, but this world is basically a game, a bet with God.

In the end, the devil comes to the human world, and Lee Ho-yeon must stop the devil by targeting all the women.

Otherwise, the world will perish.

That’s not the only problem in the first place.

The reason Lucifer likes the human world is because it satisfies his interests.

If we no longer find interesting things, the human world will eventually become just like hell.

“Hmm….”

Lucifer looked down at Hoyeon Lee and frowned.

I don’t like it.

Now that Hoyeon Lee is weakened.

His powers were still unreadable, but his emotions were readable.

What I feel is tremendous distrust and anger.

Lucifer couldn’t understand Hoyeon Lee pouring out such emotions towards him.

“Is it unfair to die? I think I gave myself several chances.”

“….”

“It is natural to die when you meet a strong person. When fighting, you must also think about your own death.”

“….”

Hoyeon Lee quietly focused on recovering the inside of her body.

Lucifer has no intention of killing himself.

There will definitely still be opportunities.

“I don’t think it’s anger at death. So what is it?”

Of course, Lucifer knows that Lee Ho-yeon is gathering strength.

However, in that state, Lee Ho-yeon cannot fight against himself no matter how much magical power he gathers.

I know that, so I leave it alone.

His concern now is not Hoyeon Lee gathering magical power.

What I wonder is why he is so angry.

It seemed like it wasn’t just anger over defeat.

“So are they human women?”

Lucifer looked down at Hoyeon Lee and started a conversation.

In order to find out why Lee Ho-yeon avoids his magic eye, it would be better to get even the slightest information.

The female bodies he was concerned about from the beginning. It seemed like there was a secret there.

“When you talk about women, your emotions become intense. Is it to protect women? But that’s strange. Why did you design this magic circle to trap the women? If it weren’t for the magic circle, I wouldn’t have known about the existence of human women. In other words, “He wouldn’t have threatened me.”

“….”

“It means that there is another purpose… Did you intend to lock her up and take over her mind in order to make her your woman? If so, I am disappointed. It is a low-level idea worthy of incubuses.”

“Don’t be damned.”

Hoyeon Lee gritted his teeth.

I didn’t want to listen to what that devil bastard said anymore.

It felt bad to see the heroines mentioned by Lucifer.

Jiying-

Lucifer’s red eyes shine.

Lucifer, who read the emotions of the human in front of him, felt doubtful.

“So she’s already his woman? Then why did they kidnap her? This magic circle was activated throughout a huge space. What does it mean for other humans?”

“….”

“Is it just interest? But Lee Ho-yeon, you don’t seem like that kind of person. Besides, those women were feeling affection for you. They were feeling affection for each other, so why did you do something like this?”

“… Don’t put my women in your mouth because it’s disgusting.”

“Are you greedy for all human women, including Liliana? Then you are a villain.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Lucifer looked down at Hoyeon Lee.

His abnormal resilience was restoring his body, but it took time for him to wake up.

The conversation is not over yet.

“Having greed for a weak subject. That’s why you are a villain. The moment you are defeated by me, humans are like my trophies. Whatever you do is my freedom. So getting angry is arrogant.”

Hoyeon Lee ignored Lucifer’s words and checked the inside of his body.

It still takes time to move.

‘… ‘If I wake up, will I be able to win?’

The mind follows the body.

Lee Ho-yeon’s heart also broke because of her messed up body.

We’ve already fought a few times.

Will he be able to defeat Lucifer now, whom he couldn’t defeat even in good condition?

But there was nothing Lee Ho-yeon could do other than struggle.

“No, I guess it is correct to say this. You are a hypocrite.”

“what?”

“Your heart is full of hypocrisy, deceiving even yourself.”

Lucifer’s magical eyes looked Hoyeon Lee up and down, and in his mind, he lowered his evaluation of Hoyeon Lee one level.

I felt the same bad feeling I felt from the Maestro.

Looking elsewhere for reasons for one’s actions.

“My magical eye cannot be deceived. You are a similar type of person to Maestro. Maybe that is why you avoid my magical eye.”

As the successor to the Demon King, dignity is one of the important factors.

Lee Ho-yeon’s strength itself is acceptable, but without dignity, he is like an animal.

Unfortunately, the conversation with Lee Ho-yeon was not interesting.

“The conversation is over. I will slowly find out why you are avoiding the Demon Eye.”

It may not be possible now, but if you take the time to research it, you might be able to figure it out.

Lucifer raised his magical power and lifted Hoyeon Lee’s body.
