Sreuk-

Lee Ho-yeon, who created magical power, grabbed Arthur’s wrist like a doctor checking his pulse.

Arthur blinked as he saw Lee Ho-yeon holding his wrist and generating magic, but he didn’t bother to stop it.

Because the young man in front of me is not a person to feel bad about.

However, I decided to ask for what purpose.

“What are you doing now?”

“Please wait a moment, President.”

“Perhaps you still love me with Sol….”

“If you keep saying that, I will overthrow the Wizards Association.”

“… hmm.”

Young people these days don’t understand jokes.

When we first met, I remembered that I sparred with Ho-yeon Lee under the pretext of teaching her magic, but then fainted.

Arthur closed his mouth quietly.

‘I don’t think there’s any problem.’

Hoyeon Lee grabbed Arthur’s wrist and felt his magic.

Just as Rebecca escaped the Maestro’s brainwashing with the rune barrier, Ho-yeon Lee was able to imitate it using magical power.

Lee Ho-yeon decided that there was no problem and let go of his wrist.

I felt so bad that I even used clean magic on my hands.

“I’m sorry. I had to check to see if you were brainwashed.”

“Brainwashing?”

“Pandemic brainwashing. Haven’t you heard of it?”

Hoyeon Lee explained the pandemic and Maestro’s brainwashing.

When conveying this information, you can sell the name of Iris Guild.

Currently, many high-ranking officials have been brainwashed by the Maestro, and their goal is to protect the Gates of Hell and the Black Pillar.

He himself is destroying the black pillar to fight them… That was the explanation.

“…Huh. That’s what happened.”

After hearing Lee Ho-yeon’s explanation, Arthur nodded as if he finally understood.

Although I didn’t show it when I met him, I knew even before hearing this story that there were many negative opinions about Lee Ho-yeon.

The bad reviews about Lee Ho-yeon were so great that even I, who didn’t know the details because I was tracking [Infinite Entropy] recently, heard about it.

‘It was called a black pillar.’

There is no guarantee that what Lee Ho-yeon says is absolutely correct, but… Arthur believed only what he saw.

The Lee Ho-yeon he saw was a healthy young man and the lover of the genius wizard Lim Sol.

Those in power and Lee Ho-yeon.

If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose this young man.

“So you came to me because of brainwashing?

“No. There is something I would like to ask the president of the academy for. Checking the brainwashing was for that request.”

Hoyeon Lee took out the blueprint for the magic tool he had brought with him.

It is a magic tool that makes the magic of hell accessible to ordinary people.

“What is this?”

“This is a blueprint for a magic tool. It is impossible to mass-produce it on my own. I would like to receive help from the Wizarding Society.”

Arthur carefully checked the blueprint.

In between, he tilted his head and frowned.

He immediately put down the blueprint and opened his mouth.

“You were thinking the same thing as me.”

“yes?”

“I don’t know all the information like you, but I also felt the danger of hell’s magic. I was planning on asking Sol… but I guess I can ask you.”

Hoyeon Lee, who saw Arthur’s serious expression, quietly waited for Arthur’s next words.

After drinking a cup of coffee and catching his breath, Arthur began to explain his plan.

“I was planning to create a device to counter the magic power of Hell in order to prevent people addicted to it and to prevent attacks by monsters.”

“Are you saying you prepared for the gates of hell?”

“Yes. I was planning to install a protective shield surrounding the entire Pacific Ocean, but… the most important part was missing.”

“What are important parts…?”

“It is an artifact called [Infinite Entropy].”

“… hmm.”

“It wasn’t difficult to design a magic circle that could cover the Pacific Ocean. However, an enormous amount of energy was needed to execute that magic circle. There is only one artifact that can exert such power.”

“….”

“If only there was infinite entropy… we could have supplied magic power worldwide…!”

“Use it.”

Ho-yeon Lee swallowed when he saw Arthur sigh.

If infinite entropy is that important, let me tell you in advance.

… Then you must have some magic power left.

Juseomjuseom.

Lee Ho-yeon opened the subspace pouch he had brought with him.

As the Holy Grail popped out of it, Arthur’s eyes opened wide.

“Oh, no…why do you have infinite entropy? What are these geometric patterns?”

“…Let me explain.”

*

Arthur made a big mistake.

wee.

I thought Hoyeon Lee had found [Infinite Entropy] for herself.

But that thought was completely wrong.

He secretly obtained [Infinite Entropy] while dealing with Aiden.

“I raised my student incorrectly. That means my student’s student is also like this….”

“sorry….”

“Sol has always been sneaking his share of things. Why did you learn to do that?”

Hoyeon Lee lowered his head, and Arthur hugged infinite entropy with a disapproving expression.

How hard I worked to find this one Holy Grail… I never thought there would be a thief so close.

“Somehow, there was a message from Sol.”

“A message?”

“They said that if you harass one of our students, they will kill you. I was wondering what that meant… whew.”

Arthur recalled a message from a student he had not contacted in a long time.

Im Sol, who normally did not contact Lee, sent her a message as soon as she heard that Lee Ho-yeon was coming to the United States.

– Sol: Mister. If you harass my student, I will kill you. Remember what we did for you.

Arthur sighed.

What Lim Sol said was not wrong.

He wanted to become the president of the society and change the corrupt wizard society.

I thought that talented young magicians should be treated rather than the elders who were established within the academy.

But in reality, there was nothing he could change even if he became the president of the Wizarding Association.

Unlike magic, he had no talent for political fighting.

It was thanks to Lim Sol and Lee Ho-yeon that Arthur had a firm grip on the wizard society.

By eliminating his rival Aiden, he silenced the elders, and the magic of genius wizards Lim Sol and Lee Ho-yeon received support from young wizards.

Since Lim Sol and Lee Ho-yeon supported Arthur, many wizards supported Arthur.

“I would like to hit you on the head with this Holy Grail, but I don’t think I can do that.”

“Hmm…But if I wait, my magic will replenish again. I can also remove this magic circle.”

“There is no time to wait. Didn’t you say that the monsters’ attack was just around the corner? Because of you, the plan was ruined.”

“President. Think again. In the end, we both want the same thing. My way would be better.”

“… Isn’t your magic tool a sure method? Relying on each individual is a gamble with low odds.”

“I’m sorry, but they aren’t something you can block with a shield or something.”

Hoyeon Lee shook his head.

The Demon King and the demons of hell were not beings that could be blocked with anything like a shield.

“President, just trust me and help me with this.”

Hoyeon Lee continued speaking again, persuading Arthur.

*

Abandoned factory area.

Lee Ho-yeon frowned when he came to the abandoned factory in the outskirts of the city, which was once the center of industry.

The tall chimneys were cracked or collapsed, and the windows were broken.

Lee Ho-yeon was fascinated by the sight of rusted rebar everywhere.

Because the stench that stung my nose was so strong.

‘It’s definitely around here.’

Hoyeon Lee walked around the abandoned factory and looked around.

Every time I walk, the dust picks up from the floor, making the air thicker.

After persuading the president of the Arthur Association, the reason Lee Ho-yeon came to this place was because he obtained information from the Iris Guild.

Chiron said that Lucifer’s last energy was felt here.

I don’t have high expectations, but I came here with the intention of destroying the black pillar here.

‘Still, the president of the association is nice.’

Even though I confessed to stealing infinite entropy, they let me off like this.

Is it because Sol sent me a message?

Seup-

As he was walking, thinking about random things, something crossed Lee Ho-yeon’s head.

“….”

Lee Ho-yeon was struck by the unpleasant magic that pierced his skin.

As I slowly walked towards it and pressed myself against the wall, I heard a small voice.

[hey. Have you finished cleaning up the area? Let’s do it once and for all. Don’t break your head if you lose your belongings.]

[It’s all over. Don’t worry, I’ve checked it several times.]

[Once you check it, get it quickly. You won’t have to receive the next hideout.]

[Know. The area around the gates of hell is unpleasant, so let’s go slowly.]

Lee Ho-yeon listened to the conversation between the two demons.

Although they looked like humans on the outside, the magic felt from them was the same as that of a demon.

From what I heard, Pandemic’s executives had already disappeared, and the demons who cleaned up after them didn’t seem to be that high of a rank even in Pandemic.

‘I don’t think there’s any need to hide.’

Although Mine’s momentum was quite strong, it could not compare to Lee Ho-yeon.

Should I just go out and kill them all? That’s when I thought.

The demons continued speaking.

[Now that I think about it, what happened to the guy who made a mistake with the Angela guild leader who came a few days ago and got his head blown off? I couldn’t see you because I had something to do at the time.]

[It’s no big deal. Basically, VIPs treat Mine like dogs.]

[however?]

[That’s it. I died because I didn’t like the look in his eyes. It’s funny that such a bitch pretends to be so nice in human society.]

[Anyway, you’re a crazy bitch. I heard VIPs are even worse. that’s right. Now that I think about it, the ledgers of VIPs here… .]

Sigh-

There is no need to listen to the conversation anymore.

Hoyeon Lee removed the rebar and exposed his body.

“Who is there!”

“Damn it. There’s an intruder…!”

As soon as he heard the sound, Mine turned his head and glared at Lee Ho-yeon.

As soon as they saw the intruder, they activated the emergency communication system.

Just-

However, Hoyeon Lee’s fingers were faster than activating the emergency communication device.

In an instant, a rush of blue lightning pierced the hearts of the two demons.

dump-

Without even realizing that he was dead.

Two bodies were torn apart.

After confirming that there were no demons left around, Lee Ho-yeon slowly walked forward.

“I wasn’t expecting anything… Is there really nothing?”

Ho-yeon Lee burned the bodies of the two demons and looked around.

If I had thought it was really dangerous in the first place, I wouldn’t have come alone, but it was a bit disappointing that there was nothing after killing Mine.

“What’s this?”

A notebook tightly wrapped as if it were precious.

Lee Ho-yeon, who was rummaging through the belongings packed by the magicians, took out a ledger.
