“… … .”

My blood boils violently.

It was not simply a side effect of overheating, but it represented my feelings.

devil.

One of the main culprits that made me like this.

That unclean being appeared before my eyes once again.

A hatred so strong that it cannot be described begins to build up.

This guy had to be killed. With my own hands.

“Hmm? What is this frustrating barrier? It’s insignificant.”

“… !”

An unclean energy began to emanate from an unclean being.

――Jjajaeng!!

Magi.

Rigel’s barrier was broken, unable to withstand the thick energy.

“Cain… ? What on earth is that… Ugh.”

–dump

Magi soon filled the fantasy space.

Claire, who accepted him as is, fell unconscious.

The energy was so unclean that ordinary living beings could not stand it.

Of course, it was a slightly different story for me.

“Ho? I never thought it would withstand the demonic energy… I think this summoning will be quite fun.”

The guy was overflowing with leisure.

It was natural.

Because that is the devil, a being that once almost destroyed the world with just a few people.

――Wow!

Before the devil noticed, he began to gather magical power.

The weakest time is right after being summoned.

If it wasn’t now, the moment to kill that guy would never come.

Most… I had to weave as much as possible.

I had to push my limits to see possibilities.

‘once… twice… ‘

“You’re making a fool of yourself.”

――Shoo!

-bang!

“… What.”

The guy tried to attack me.

Although my shield successfully blocked it, it was instantly tattered.

There wasn’t really any magic involved.

It was just pure magic power.

And yet, it’s enough to destroy high-level defense magic…

As expected, it was something different.

‘Five times… Six times… ‘

—Oooh!

I immediately infused magical energy into it and repaired the shield.

All you have to do is hold on.

There was a chance as long as he held out until all the attack magic was combined.

“I said it was a foolish move.”

“… !”

The guy blinked.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of me and I immediately swung my fist.

-bang!

My shield was torn like a piece of paper by that fierce attack…

“… Wow!”

I allowed the blow and fell straight to the ground.

The wheelchair was shattered by the impact.

“After… .”

“Ho? That will is worth considering.”

The devil slowly began to approach me.

“But it’s foolish. A wizard who can’t even use his legs is trying to deal with me.”

He stood in front of me and grabbed my neck with one hand.

And slowly lifted me up.

‘Concentration… Concentrate, Cain. There is still a chance… .’

“… Ugh.”

“Khahaha! Those eyes. I like it! good night! I’ll give you a special opportunity.”

With a very mean smile on his face, he offered me a deal.

It was the whisper of a devil, a devil.

“Hand over your soul to me. Then I will heal your leg. Very fine. Isn’t it good? The fact that I can walk again.”

It wouldn’t be a lie.

However, the moment I handed over my soul to him, my body was no longer mine.

The being summoned through blood was unstable in its very existence.

The devil needed substance, and he was planning on choosing me as his sacrifice.

And there was no way I would tolerate that.

“Hmm… ?”

Thanks to him taking his time, I gained enough time.

Either “ or get hit and die. this… You devil.”

“What… .”

This is a magic weaved eight times especially for you. It also contains a lot of magical energy.

―――Quaaang!!

There was a huge explosion, and the devil and I were swept away.

――Crashing!

I fell backwards, and so did the devil.

“… … .”

The attack worked, but I took too much damage.

The overheat could no longer be maintained, and the recoil began to rush in like a flood.

‘This guy… .’

I couldn’t lift a finger.

I barely moved my eyes to look in the direction where the devil was.

“Huh… This is amazing.”

And in the rising smoke, it appeared again.

It wasn’t enough.

Fatal injuries would have been certain. However, I couldn’t stop breathing.

The perfection of the magic has fallen.

It was difficult to maintain concentration as I was attacked from time to time, and since it was my first time knitting 8 times, my skill level was also low.

‘This is it… .’

Little by little, I am losing my mind.

There was no more stamina or magic left to endure.

That’s how I lost consciousness.

**

“I never thought you would have this level of skill.”

The devil, Zeros, expressed sincere admiration.

The other person was a boy who had just collapsed.

“This… It might take a little while to recover.”

The blow the boy delivered far exceeded his expectations.

It was a fatal wound.

There was a hole in his abdomen.

If you didn’t use magic to change the trajectory right before the attack…

It could have been the end.

It was an imperfect summons, but how long has this been in this world?

It was a wish that had been desired for eons, and there would be nothing more disappointing than ending like that.

“Khehehe.”

When Zeros saw the boy, saliva naturally formed at the corner of his mouth.

Her face was also beautiful, and her talent was at an incredible level.

Simply, the concentration of magical power and the skill itself were at a level that was not at all inferior to that of other demons.

If he wasn’t that evil, he would have been killed.

If the boy’s legs had been fine or had grown a little more, he would not have been guaranteed victory.

――Wow!

It makes me laugh.

Really, I was very lucky.

As soon as I summoned it, I was able to obtain a special offering.

Zeros placed his hand on the boy’s heart and began injecting magical energy into it.

It was intended to take over his body.

So the progress went smoothly.

No, it had to be smooth… Something happened.

“… Hmm?”

Crazy magical energy began to erupt around him.

It wasn’t Zero’s.

It was a completely different aura from his own, so thick that it took his breath away.

“This is… No way.”

Zeros, sensing a crisis, retreated.

And soon.

The boy woke up.

And then I got up on my two legs.

“Zeros, are you truly out of your mind? no way… Have you forgotten who your master is?”

“How do you… .”

The boy wasn’t talking.

A terrible word flew out and stuck in Zeros’ mind.

“I like this child very much. Therefore, this child is mine.”

“… … .”

I never thought she was here.

I thought it had just disappeared… I never imagined that he was still alive.

—Woong

Zeros began to carefully gather magical power.

Even at first glance, she was imperfect right now.

It had even lost its original strength.

Right now, I should be able to kill that arrogant bitch.

“Why are you speechless? Are you going to become a devil and tremble with fear? It wouldn’t be such a shameful thing, would it?”

“Khehe… Eat this and die!!”

—Shuung!

Zeros fired a huge spell. Black and strong flames flew towards her.

It had to be completely destroyed.

The plan was to completely burn the boy’s body.

It’s a waste, but… All I had to do was ask for the offering.

Getting rid of her was more important now.

――Sleep

“It’s insignificant. Could it be that you have forgotten who that power belongs to?”

“What… !”

But his attack did not reach her.

The black flame that had been burning for eons disappeared before it could reach her.

As if its very existence was denied.

――Jump, bump, bump.

And the boy, no, she began to approach Zeros little by little.

“Oh, don’t come!!”

Did he even guess his terrible future?

His face was filled with endless fear.

“I have to take back the power I gave you. Because I really need it.”

“Oh, no… !”

“Thank you for your hard work. Zeros. Now rest forever.”

“Quaaaa!!”

In the face of that overwhelming presence, Zeros was unable to offer any resistance.

His unclean body began to burn little by little-

――Howling!

Soon, only black ashes remained where he was.

“Hmm… ”

And from among the ashes, she pulled something out.

It was a puzzle, a puzzle piece.

“Is it finally one piece? There’s a long way to go.”

After absorbing that little piece, she looked around.

It was very messy.

The illusion was tainted with thick magical energy, and if things continued like this, the magic would soon be broken, causing chaos.

“You can’t do that.”

I couldn’t inconvenience my owner again.

Then the girl started organizing the space.

As if the devil had never arrived in the first place.

Soon all traces of the devil disappeared.

To an unfamiliar person, no matter how closely they examined it, the surrounding scene looked like a simple explosion.

After everything was cleaned up, the girl also fell asleep deep inside the boy again.

**

“… Ugh.”

I opened my eyes and stood up.

Surprisingly, the sight I saw around me was my dorm room.

It was strange.

Apparently I fell while fighting the devil…

My physical condition was very fine.

No, it is more accurate to say that it has gotten better.

The magic core was overflowing with magic power.

Even though I wasted so much vitality, I couldn’t really feel any burden.

Even his right hand, which had been slightly burned, was perfectly fine.

Could it have been a dream?

It was an experience too vivid and a defeat to simply dismiss it as such.

“… … .”

Concentrate your mind and use your magic power to check your body.

Then I soon discovered something strange.

The size of the object in the core had grown larger.

Even if I couldn’t do it, my stomach seemed to have expanded.

And there was something else.

‘This… puzzle?’

There was one small puzzle piece.

When I tried to check it with magical power, the being appeared in the palm of my hand.

“Crazy… .”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by that.

This is not simply because of the appearance of puzzle pieces.

From that small piece, unclean energy, demonic energy, was flowing out little by little.

――Drur!

And at that very moment-

“Huh? You finally woke up.”

Cecil came into the room.
