episode_0577

Flames rise throughout the city. The atmosphere was gloomy, perhaps because of the pitch-black sky.

This is the scene of an ordinary hellish city.

Hideous-looking demons of hell were walking around naturally, and humanoid demons and demons were also seen.

In hell, they would be just like humans.

“The Demon King’s Castle will still be the same, right?”

“…Yes. The door to the Demon King’s Castle is locked and no one is allowed in.”

“That’s amazing. After all, you don’t believe in the Demon Lord. What are you thinking?”

Lucifer was glaring at the Devil’s Castle as if he had defeated his enemy.

I vividly felt my anger towards the Demon King, who suddenly closed the Demon King’s Castle in the name of a break.

‘It must be absurd from Lucifer’s point of view.’

Hoyeon Lee, who was looking at the memories from Lucifer’s perspective, nodded.

Just because Hoyeon Lee played the original doesn’t mean he can know the conditions of hell.

Because the existence of hell does not appear in the original work.

But Lee Ho-yeon knew who was in the devil’s castle.

‘There must be a god in this world.’

The reason why the Demon King’s Castle was closed after it was decided to hand over the Demon King’s position.

Why did Lucifer suddenly come to Earth?

It’s probably because that bastard took over the devil’s body.

They couldn’t have just watched Lee Ho-yeon, who had become abnormally strong, win the bet.

As he hastily descends into the body of the devil, something absurd will happen to those living in hell.

Since it looks like you’re going to lose, you can descend on the boss directly. It is a terribly unfair world.

‘… Even if you do that, all you have to do is kill that bastard.’

The story is getting closer and closer to the end.

The last scenario, the devil’s attack.

It will be even more difficult as the god of this world attacks directly, but if you overcome just one battle, it will be the ending of the original.

『Main Quest: Target all heroines and survive until the end of the game. If you can. Failure penalty: death』

The damn main quest is over.

‘Then you can keep everything.’

This world. Heroines. And even Lee Ho-yeon herself.

Blink-

When I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them, the world turned upside down.

This is one of the pandemic’s hideouts.

Of course, this is the first time I see Lee Ho-yeon.

But now that I was looking at Lucifer’s memories, this place felt familiar, as if I was dreaming.

“So, why is Revelation targeting a person named Lee Ho-yeon?”

“Because he is the only human who can prevent my fate.”

“Human. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“When the Demon King comes, you will understand even if you don’t understand.”

It was like a memory from shortly after Lucifer descended to Earth.

Although it was a seemingly ordinary conversation, Hoyeon Lee was able to vividly feel Lucifer’s emotions.

‘… They’re looking to stab each other in the back.’

Maestro and Lucifer.

The two were targeting each other.

Lucifer seemed suspicious of the Maestro, whose true intentions were unknown.

But Maestro, why are you trying to stab me in the back after summoning him?

These guys are really scary.

Hoyeon Lee looked around to get as much information as possible.

‘That’s the Black Holy Grail that Ellis was talking about.’

The black chalice held by the statue in front of the Maestro.

Even Lee Ho-yeon felt uneasy about the gloomy magic that was filled with it.

If that thing fills up, will the devil come down?

Fortunately, from the outside, it looked like there was still room for the Holy Grail.

It is said that the Demon King has a one-year break, so that may have something to do with it.

“Okay, let’s leave right away. There’s something interesting in Korea.”

Lucifer, who was clearly looking at the Maestro, turned around.

Slurp-

At the same time, the scene before my eyes collapsed like a sand castle.

When he closed his eyes for a moment and opened them, a bright light greeted Hoyeon Lee.

But soon something huge blocked the bright light.

“Oh, you’re awake! How are you?”

“…Get your face off.”

Hoyeon Lee got up from the floor, pushing Chiron’s face away from her.

It wasn’t the first time he had seen the memory orb, but his headache seemed worse than when he saw Liliana’s memories.

“This was my first time using magic on a corpse. I haven’t seen it properly yet, so I’m curious about the results.”

“It was nothing. I just knew that the enemy was really strong. But thank you, Chiron.”

I didn’t have high expectations in the first place.

Just knowing that the information you know is roughly correct is a huge gain.

“Lee Ho-yeon. I, Wild Gladiator, have something to tell you.”

“What?”

“There is a possibility that Lucifer is alive.”

“… What kind of bullshit is that? You saw the body too.”

It was clearly confirmed that Lucifer’s life was ended.

He carried around corpses, and even imbued them with hellish magic and used them as evidence.

“It is a possibility after all. To be precise, we should say that the string of life is continuing. I think that is why I was able to create a memory bead.”

“If it was such important information, you should have told me before I looked at the memory orb.”

“I wasn’t sure, but while you were checking the memory orb, my senses became sharper.”

“….”

Conversations with Chiron are always out of focus.

This one seems a little worse than Liliana. Has he gone crazy from his long career as a mercenary?

Hoyeon Lee looked at the incubus watching from the side.

“Albedo. Do you know anything?”

“Well, I…I don’t know, but Chiron’s sharp senses were famous in hell.”

“Hmm.”

Hearing that makes me worry for no reason.

If you think about it, Chiron was the first to warn you when Lucifer appeared.

“I’ll just keep it in mind. If your senses react, let me know at any time.”

“I understand. Killer Queen’s energy has become stronger recently. Do you know why?”

“Oh, Liliana? Well, I guess it’s just that I’ve been training hard recently. I’ll go for now. We’ll talk later.”

Actually, it’s because the ban has been slightly lifted… It’s not a good idea to tell Chiron and Albedo about Liliana. They have memories of being treated harshly by Liliana in the past. If they try to run away, it will be very annoying.

Lee Ho-yeon left the training room after cursorily saying hello to the guild members around her, stretching and walking away.

I feel thirsty because I saw the sight of hell.

“Hell, they’re really no help. They just keep saying ominous things. Scarlett, give me some water.”

“Here I am, Hoenn.”

“thank you.

It’s already been four days since I entrusted myself to the Iris Guild.

Although I was only staying for a week, there were no inconveniences.

Ellis made sure to do what I asked, and she only came to visit at night.

“Scarlett. Any unusual news?”

“Nothing. I’m sure everyone is taking precautions.”

Hoyeon Lee walked down the wide hallway while looking at her smart watch.

– Iris Guild. Request for investigation into black pillars worldwide.

– Unconventional support from Korea, led by Victoria Academy?!

– The American Hunter Association is still silent… .

– About the truth about the Iris Guild, which protects the weak.

“It’s the 4th day and nothing much has happened.”

Even if we exclude useless articles and rumors, the investigation into the black pillar is not being conducted properly.

Ho-yeon Lee is continuing his personal investigation, but there is something frustrating about it.

I feel like I can’t think of anything very easy.

I have been suffering from this frustrating feeling for several days.

“Scarlett. For now, please continue to help me gather information at the Iris Guild.”

“Okay, I’ll come back if I have any important information.”

Sasasak-

Scarlett stuck to the ceiling and disappeared.

A time when Ellis doesn’t come to visit.

Hoyeon Lee used to research the black pillar alone.

But today, perhaps because I saw the memory orb, I lacked the concentration to study.

“Should I go see Irene? She should be in Team Leader 1’s office by now.”

*

Iris Guild’s guild leader’s room.

Inside the place covered by the barrier, a blonde beauty was pounding on the desk.

“I can’t believe you haven’t been able to return to work as the guild leader for four days. You must be very tired, father.”

“Irene, our eldest daughter. You know that your father usually doesn’t receive calls while he’s at work. So, that matter now….”

“But that’s right! I’m with Ellis!”

Irene pounded the desk and glared at her father.

You said you were collecting information on Lucifer, but suddenly you hide in Pandemic’s hideout.

What if Ellis got hurt!

“I, too, don’t want to take Ellis to a place like that. But as the heir, she is now….”

“I can do dangerous things! Even my dad definitely agreed to that! If you change your mind now! What should I do!”

“Sigh. Irene. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Ha, hoo….”

Irene, shaking Isaac’s shoulder, slowly calmed down her anger.

Even if you get angry like this, nothing will change.

She knows that Ellis has to experience this.

What I am doing now was to vent my anger towards my father, who had not contacted me at a time like this.

“I hope something like this doesn’t happen next time. If you’re the guild leader, it’s okay to not contact me for an entire year, but if you have Ellis, you have to contact me regularly. Do you understand?”

“I understand. Team leader 1….”

Irene came out of the guild leader’s room, leaving behind the Emperor of the Night, who slumped his shoulders.

[Darling… are you okay? I will tell Irene personally.]

[Honey, it’s because I’m worried about my daughter. don’t worry]

I forced myself to erase the voice of the husband and wife from behind me from my head.

Irene returned to the empty Team 1 leader’s office and sat down in her seat.

“…Why is it so quiet?”

In fact, Team Leader 1’s office was mostly quiet.

This is because working-level staff always collect information from outside.

But these days, this silence has been awkward.

The cause is the crazy women who stay at Lee Ho-yeon’s house.

Before Lucifer’s attack, the girls who came to my house every day and chatted with me were gone, and this silence became even greater.

It was annoying when it was there, but now that it’s not there, it feels so quiet. It seems like humans are selfish animals.

“No. Still, it’s better not to have one.”

Actually, I didn’t dislike those people.

Of course, because the previous kidnapping was so shocking, as we fought together during Lucifer’s attack, we suddenly developed a bond in our hearts.

The problem is Lee Ho-yeon.

The man.

A bad guy who stays at the Iris Guild for a week and has Ellis all to himself every night.

“Elise got the accommodation voucher, so I’m going to her all week. I can understand that. But… if you have a conscience, shouldn’t you come visit at least once?”

Irene still remembers the nights she spent with Lee Ho-yeon.

Even if he tried to forget the hot memory that was engraved in his lower abdomen, he could not forget it.

But just for Ellis… .

“Ha. Everything got weird because of Lee Ho-yeon.”

Why should she spend her time thinking about men?

I don’t have enough time to think about myself and my younger brother, the most beautiful people in the world.

“He’s a very bad guy… I know he’s researching the Black Pillar, but I helped him a lot.”

It is thanks to Ellis and Irene that Hoyeon Lee receives support from the Iris Guild.

I don’t even want to spend the night with Ellis.

It would have been nice if I had taken the time to come visit just once.

I don’t even know the grace… !

[Mr. Irene. Are you inside? I came to hang out for a while.]

“Hi.”

They say that even tigers will come if you tell them what to do.

It really came.

Irene naturally picked up the pile of documents next to her.

“There you are. Come in.”

I didn’t even know that the corner of my mouth went up when I heard Lee Ho-yeon’s voice for a moment.

Irene crossed her legs and greeted Lee Ho-yeon, pretending to concentrate on work.
