A week has passed since Hoyeon Lee held a press conference for the world.

Even after a week, the gates of hell in the Pacific Ocean were still the same, and the monsters of hell attacking humans were still the same, but the way humans responded to being attacked had clearly changed.

The ‘Monster Strategy Book’ released by Hoyeon Lee was a new wind.

Thanks to the strategy book that contains detailed instructions on how to deal with all monsters, the number of casualties in the process of subduing the monsters of hell was noticeably reduced, and of course, the damage to civilians was also greatly reduced.

It’s not just a strategy book.

The magic tool ‘Hell’s Magic Injector’ has become a necessity for all hunters.

S-class hunters learned the magic of hell to destroy the black pillar, and lower-level hunters were also able to block monster attacks more easily by absorbing the magic of hell into their bodies.

Hoyeon Lee changed the world.

Quaaang-!

West Coast of the United States.

A one-eyed giant with an ice spear stuck on the top of his head stumbled and fell to the shore.

Once it became known that the feared monster had a weak point at the top of its head, it became easier to hunt it.

“I don’t think I need any support at this level. Hehe.”

“Ross, it’s not over yet, so stay focused. Can’t you see those bastards?”

Steven stared straight ahead, reprimanding his fellow hunter.

However, even he who said this did not imagine that he would lose the battle.

There are five monsters of hell left on the coast. And there are 5 Mines.

I was aware of the demons that were with the monster and called for support, but the demons were not as strong in combat as I thought.

The power we have here is enough to defeat them.

“I understand. Let’s finish quickly and then have a drink… Huh? Wait a minute, what is that?”

Ross, who had been smiling while rolling his shoulders, frowned.

This is because darkness was blooming among the demons behind the monster.

“That….”

Stephen felt familiar in the ominous darkness.

Since he was also using a hellish magic injector, the identity of that darkness was immediately apparent.

“Hell’s magic…?”

I have experienced the hellish magic emanating from monsters many times, but this was the first time I had experienced such strong hellish magic.

The magical power I felt was even more intense than when I accidentally got close to the black pillar.

“Damn it! Attack quickly before I do something weird!”

Ross shouted as he pulled out his sword.

The combat power of monsters and demons has long been known from previous battles.

All you have to do is subdue it before it does anything strange.

But at that moment.

An arm suddenly popped out from the hellish magic created by the demons.

The bony arm, which seemed to be nothing but bones, moved around as if looking for something to grab, and then grabbed hold of the head of a nearby demon.

The demon pressed down on the demon’s head and slowly pulled its body out of the mass of darkness.

A demon with thin limbs, like a water strider, slowly crawled out.

Even at first glance, the bizarre sight gave goosebumps to the hunters’ bodies.

“Um, what is that? A new monster?”

“Support. Request for support….”

It was a time when hunters could not hide their embarrassment.

The devil flailed his long arms.

Kwasak-

With a single, meaningless movement of the hand, the remaining monsters and demons around were cut in two.

The demon moved its thin legs and bit the demon’s neck.

Tsk. Tsk.

The unpleasant sound of blood bursting and flesh being eaten away.

“….”

The hunters swallowed their saliva.

I was speechless due to the incomprehensible situation.

My heart beats fast and my whole body sends a signal to run.

The monster in front of them is an enemy they cannot deal with.

As soon as the hunters realized the situation, they slowly backed away.

Geek… Talent, talent… .

However, the devil soon turned his head and looked at the hunters.

The devil, having found a new prey, got up and moved towards the human.

Drudduddudduk. Cracking… .

It sounds like forcing the gears of an old machine to turn.

A sound that should not come from a living being was heard.

“Run, run. Run… Run!”

Push shot-

The body of Ross, who moved first, went limp.

As he was running away, a large hole opened in his stomach.

“iced coffee….”

Kwaduk-

Ailee’s head, whose knees were weakened by the shock, exploded as if hit by a hammer.

They were like flies to the monster in front of them.

“….”

The overwhelming feeling of helplessness that one cannot do anything.

The mere sight of that guy approaching made every cell in my body feel fear.

I know I’ll die if I stay still, but my feet won’t move.

Out of fear beyond recognition, my limbs ignored the brain’s commands.

“ah….”

Nod-. Nope…

Looking at an unidentified creature walking slowly.

Stephen waited for his death.

*

thud-!

The last Minotaur’s stomach was torn apart and he fell to the ground.

The corpses of more than 30 monsters were spread out on the shore.

No matter how easy monster hunting became, hundreds of hunters would have to rush in to hunt more than 30 monsters.

However, this spectacle was an achievement accomplished by just one person.

“Wow. That’s Lee Ho-yeon. I thought I was good at catching the monsters of hell in my own way….”

“They say there is a sky above the sky. Is that what they are talking about?”

“… That man is scarier than the sky, the naked body, and the monster.”

American hunters swallowed their saliva as they watched Lee Ho-yeon hunting the monster of hell.

I came here because the Hunter Association president said he was sending reliable reinforcements, but I never expected it would be this bad.

They were just watching, but they single-handedly captured five times the unit’s quota.

All that remains on the shore are messy chunks of flesh and blood stains.

It took less than 10 minutes, so from the hunters’ perspective, it was so absurd that it was almost pointless.

‘clean.’

Contrary to their sentiments, Lee Ho-yeon did not care about the hunters.

I liked those words at first, but after hearing them for a week, I feel a little bit bitchy.

As I brushed off the sand from my body and approached the hunters, the leader of the unit hesitated and spoke to me.

“Hey, Wizard Hoyeon Lee. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Where next?”

“yes?”

“Another district that requested assistance.”

“Ah, Area C. There were reports that Mine also appeared there, so we requested assistance.”

“Okay, I’ll go there.”

Lee Ho-yeon slightly lowered his head and headed toward Area C, concentrating his magic power.

I could hear hunters greeting me from behind, but that wasn’t what was important.

‘… It’s not enough.’

In the past few days, we have been working to stabilize each country by catching monsters.

As Lee Ho-yeon thought, without the black pillar, monsters did not pose a threat to humans.

After the press conference, most of the brainwashed humans were caught and the monster problem was solved, so the world was stabilizing faster than expected.

The problem is that monsters are too easy for Lee Ho-yeon to deal with.

No matter how many times you catch such monsters, they cannot become stronger.

“… I said it was Area C.”

First of all, you have to finish your work.

However, I plan to help hunt monsters until today and from tomorrow I will at least do magic research with Professor Lim Sol in the United States.

Because I thought it would be faster to become stronger that way.

“But isn’t this Area C?”

As I walked and thought about random things, I arrived at area C.

However, strangely, no sound was heard in area C.

“….”

There can be no casualties on the battlefield.

Maybe the hunters were wiped out.

However, in that case, we should at least hear the sounds of the monsters that killed the hunter.

Why can’t I hear anything?

Feeling an unidentifiable sense of anxiety, Lee Ho-yeon increased her walking speed.

– Geek. Geek… .

At that time, an unpleasant sound was heard through the damp air.

A noise that is unpleasant just to listen to and an eerie smell of blood.

It was only then that Hoyeon Lee discovered the devil sitting on the shore.

Its body was thin and elongated like a water strider, and whenever it moved, the thorns on its limbs scratched and made a squeaking sound.

The guy was swallowing an unidentified bone without even noticing that his mouth was red.

It was a familiar appearance to Lee Ho-yeon.

“…Carkus.”

A demon that first appears in the original work.

Carcus.

Because of his unpleasant appearance, he is someone you remember even if you don’t want to.

Other demons have intelligence and examine the situation slowly, but Karkus relies more on instinct.

That is why he is the first to reveal his body.

Gigi Gigi Geek-

When his name was called, Carkus turned his head and looked this way.

Carkus, who was searching for Lee Ho-yeon by tilting his pointed head back and forth, soon threw away the bone he was eating.

The conclusion was reached that the human in front of him was food.

– person… liver… . If you’re strong… delicious… .

“You’re being damned. You bug-like bastard.”

Lee Ho-yeon raised the magic power inside his body.

Actually, I had expected it from the moment the Succubus Queen appeared.

Before the Demon King descends, demons explore the Earth.

“Should I say I’m lucky? Tsk.”

Ho-yeon Lee listened to information from the scene every day and tried his hand at it, but so far, not a single devil has been found.

In other words, that guy is the first devil to appear on Earth.

Hoyeon Lee took a quick look around.

Torn clothes and a shattered Hunters Association badge.

It looks like the hunters in charge of Area C were attacked by that guy.

Even though there were victims, it was by luck that Hoyeon Lee met Karkus.

I couldn’t even imagine how many victims there would have been if that guy had been missed here.

Excited. Excited.

My heart beats faster for the first time in a long time since the battle with Lucifer.

[Battle sense] was awakening the body in preparation for the upcoming battle.

My senses suddenly became more sensitive, and I was able to pick up subtle sounds, and my head felt cold.

“Open eyes. Sim.”

Carkus was still looking at himself, tilting his head.

devil.

The apex predator of the hellish ecosystem.

They trusted their instincts and were arrogant because they were the strongest.

Therefore, they did not attack until Lee Ho-yeon took an attack stance.

From Lee Ho-yeon’s perspective, he was a very thankful person.

“Blood beat.”

The blood inside the body circulates quickly throughout the body.

The mana circuit expands and strong magical energy surrounds the body.

Only then did Carkus feel the change in momentum and began to move his body.

“Deployment of the Demon Heavenly Palace.”

Wow-

But now it’s too late.

Hoyeon Lee glared at the devil in front of her with golden eyes.

– human… delicious… Strong human… No, devil… … ?

Carkus shook his body back and forth as if embarrassed by his sudden strength.

I think it would have been a little cute even if he didn’t have a skull in one hand.

“Arc Conjuration.”

The magical power of hell bloomed from Hoyeon Lee’s body, and three magic spheres appeared above her head.

I’ve done all the doping, but my heart is still pounding.

This means that the devil in front of you is strong.

“I just happened to need a sample.”

There is no way to attack the devil.

That’s why I can’t make a strategy book, but it would be a great help to humanity if I hunted down at least one.

Eat.

Hoyeon Lee raised the corners of her mouth without realizing it.

The elation he felt for the first time in a long time made him excited.

Sample?

okay. It would be helpful if you had it.

But it wasn’t important to me.

What is important to Lee Ho-yeon is the existence of Karkus itself.

It was necessary to fight against a strong man who threatened his life.

By fighting, we must overcome our limits and become stronger.

Feeling the sense of battle filling his entire body, Lee Ho-yeon began battle with the devil.
