A book that opens very naturally.

It was an insignificant incident for Kim Do-jin, but it caused an uproar both inside and outside of him.

“How on earth… ?”

Dantalion outside.

-“How did you open it…? ?”

Gulla inside.

It was just visible.

The colors and flow of magic in the book.

All I had to do was change my magic accordingly and create resonance.

For Kim Do-jin, this is no different from lying down and eating rice cake.

However, it is not easy to explain this method and I did not want to do it.

“… It just opened?”

“Well, that can’t be possible. The Book of Dantalion is only available to me… !”

“I guess they changed owners when it was time to die.”

“Well, like that… ?!”

Ignore the other person’s reactions.

For now, I was just curious about the contents of the Book of Dantalion.

What kind of content does it contain?

Can we see the past, present, and future of the world as Dantalion said?

I swallowed dry saliva and moved my gaze towards the open book.

It feels as if I am stealing a glimpse of heavenly energy that humans can never see.

There was only one sentence written on the pure white paper.

“… … .”

Kim Do-jin’s face hardened when he saw this.

Because it contained content that was difficult to understand.

He asked, roughly closing the book.

“How do you see the contents of this book?”

There is no way the past, present, and future of the world can be written in just one book, no matter how thick it is.

This means that the content changes depending on how you read the book.

Dantalion chuckles.

“Cl… , I guess I saw something completely unexpected.”

Kim Do-jin’s sword digs into Dantalion’s shoulder.

Phew!

“At least answer what I say.”

Dantalion’s face crumples.

He curled his lips and answered patronizingly.

“I don’t know what you saw, but that is your wish.”

“… Is this my wish?”

“Yes. What you wanted to know so much, what you longed for, what you wished for.”

Each word gets stuck in my heart.

The heartbeat that starts to beat violently feels uncomfortable.

I want to firmly deny it, but I can’t.

“That’s right.”

Emotions cool down.

Kim Do-jin’s blade cuts off Dantalion’s head.

Suddenly

An attack without any hesitation.

Tuk!

Degurrr

The venomous old man’s face falls and rolls on the floor without even closing his eyes.

“Keuheook… !”

Dantalion curls up, letting out a groan of intense pain.

It didn’t die.

He is also not much different from humans.

If your head falls off, you die.

However, since he has many heads, one of them only hurts and does not die.

“Rain, damn it… !”

The face of the handsome man who replaced the severed head exudes anger.

The rest of my face turns red.

In order to become one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the life I have survived so far is being played for.

Gula even inflicted a crushing defeat hundreds of years ago, putting him in this rift.

To the apostle of that damn bitch.

‘Damn you bitches… !’

The anger that has risen to the top of my head calms down my reason, which runs wild like a colt with no reins.

I admit it.

There is no possibility of surviving here.

Hundreds of years.

I accept the fact that I may have to go through another thousand years of long reincarnation.

but.

‘Do you think you’re going to die like this? !’

It is said that even mice will bite cats if they are cornered.

Kim Do-jin looks like he’s lost in thought, kneeling down like a fish he’s just caught.

Even if I die, I will leave him with at least one regret.

‘now!’

Dantalion kicks off the ground in an instant.

The place where his new model, which gained strong momentum, is headed is none other than the place where Lim Na-eun is tied up.

If she comes this far to rescue her, it means that her value to Kim Do-jin is considerable.

“I will make you my companion for the next four years… !”

Dantalion, who was in front of her in an instant, raised his fist.

The target is the chest.

The trick was to immediately grab the heart and burst it so that it could never be revived.

chin!

Failed.

Kim Do-jin, who came running as if he knew this would happen, blocked his hand.

“This bastard is being dirty until the end.”

A fire burning in his eyes.

The anger was completely transferred to the hand and sword.

The light pouring out of the sword instantly dyes the sight before my eyes white.

A low noise comes from behind.

Suddenly

squeak

As the neck falls off, the gaze becomes dark.

one two three four.

The gaze turned to various places turns dark one after another.

Eventually, there was only one head left.

That moment when Kim Do-jin’s blade flies there without fail.

‘Now!’

Dantalion’s long hand reaches out toward Kim Do-jin.

A full-throated attack.

A move by Donggwi Jin that only he with many heads can do.

Bright red flames are wrapped around the fingertips.

“… … !”

Kim Do-jin, who confirmed this belatedly, twisted the new model.

A harsh blow.

However, I don’t feel any major threat.

Although it was quite timely, it was not something that could not be avoided.

As the hand parted the air, a deep smile appeared on Dantalion’s lips.

‘I expected it. I’m sure you will avoid this attack.’

So I didn’t even think about it.

The idea of having him as a road companion.

There was only one thing he was aiming for.

The Book of Dantalion.

The flames wrapped around the fingertips fall toward the Book of Dantalion.

Grumble!

A rising flame.

Kim Do-jin’s face distorts.

“This… !”

Apply strength to your sword and cut off the opponent’s last remaining neck.

At the same time, I raise my magic power with my other hand and try to freeze the flames covering the book.

Cheonggang!

It doesn’t freeze.

The flames do not diminish their power at all, and they eat away at the Book of Dantalion.

“Kkeukkeuk… !”

The last fallen head taunts.

“To you… , Do you think I will hand over my treasure…? ?”

Clackclack!

His relieved smile, as if he had achieved what he wanted, made him feel uncomfortable.

Instead of raising his foot and killing him, he steps on its head, which laughs uncontrollably, and explodes it.

Kwasik!

A face shattered.

The broken mouth flutters until the end.

“This grudge… , I will never forget… .”

The last words of the Great Devil, who was aiming for the position of the Seven Deadly Sins, were scattered and lost in solitude.

* * *

Although it was threatening, it was not a very dangerous fight.

The Great Devil Dantalion.

It was once a being strong enough to target the Seven Deadly Sins, but now it has lost its power and has fallen into ruin.

Drop your gaze.

At the end of it all was a half-burned book resting in his hand.

The Book of Dantalion.

Somehow I managed to put out the fire.

But by then, more than half of it had already burned down.

I open the book just in case.

“… There is none.”

Unlike before, no sentences are written.

Just a black scorch mark.

It’s my mistake.

I never thought I would make that mistake in the end.

“Ugh.”

I let out a long sigh and was about to close the charred book.

-“It’s a shame. If I had that book, things would have been a lot easier.”

Who said not?

Although there were limits, the power of the Book of Dantalion was clearly great.

Especially for me, who mainly deals with humans, its value would have been enormous.

-“It’s unfortunate, but what can you do? It’s already burned.”

Umm.

yes.

It would definitely have been of great help if it hadn’t burned down, but what can I do?

What has already burned.

Maybe that’s a good thing.

At least the future of being a slave to books will never come.

I look down at the charred book once again.

So is this no longer useful?

Then Gula said:

-“No, that’s not it.”

It hasn’t become useless?

-“Yes. Dantalion’s power, however weak, remains. If you leave it to a skilled artifact maker, you will be able to create a fairly useful grimoire.”

Grimoire… ?

It’s my first time hearing this name.

It’s not a magic book to learn magic, it’s a grimoire.

Then Gula asks in a puzzled tone.

-“Don’t you know the grimoire?”

This is my first time hearing it.

-“Huh… , I was somehow puzzled by the fact that all the wizards you saw only carried wands.”

Gula sighs deeply.

Her words continue.

-“You can think of the magic book as an artifact exclusively for wizards.”

What is the effect?

-“If you use magic previously recorded on the pages of the grimoire, its power is amplified.”

It’s an amplification of power.

If that’s the case, isn’t there much difference from the staff?

On the contrary, a staff that amplifies magical power without having to record it in advance seems better.

-“You’re saying something stupid. Why are you comparing the staff and the grimoire?”

Why are you comparing?

Of course, you can only choose one of the two… , what.

Could it be that I am thinking wrong?

-“Yes. The grimoire can be used at the same time as the staff.”

omg.

“Awesome, this… .”

… Maybe better than the intact Book of Dantalion?

-“But I’m worried. Now that the grimoire has been lost, is there anyone in the world who can repair it?”

That’s a little worrying.

Still, wouldn’t it be possible for someone who is a master at making artifacts to give it a try?

I guess I’ll have to try arranging it sometime.

The Book of Dantalion will be reborn as a new wizard’s artifact called the Book of Sorcerers.

That wasn’t the only loot.

I pick up Dantalion’s sword that was lying where the guy first fell.

Ugh!

The name of the sword resonates as if welcoming my touch.

“It’s definitely a good sword.”

After holding it in my own hand, I can feel the true value of this sword even more clearly.

It’s rough nature, similar to a magic sword that cuts everything it touches even if it doesn’t want to be cut, is a bit annoying, but it can be easily controlled if you tame it well.

It wasn’t the sword I needed.

If I were to use it, Seoyeon would be a little better.

I’m worried that I won’t be able to properly tame the sword because my personality is so withdrawn, but I think it’ll be okay.

His parents are Son Si-woo and Han Ju-hee.

Both were famous for their dirty personalities when they were younger.

“That’s enough of the stuff.”

It’s not an item, but there’s still one left.

The trophy obtained from killing Dantalion.

After trying to look away, I turn around and walk slowly.

He reaches in front of Lim Na-eun, who is still bound by black chains, and reaches out to cup her face.

“Hey.”

It’s absolutely shameful.

Is that why?

“Someone digs a grave to die without the owner’s permission.”

This time I was a little truly angry.
