Chapter 505 – Chapter 505. Lucifer (2)
The runaway phenomenon of dungeons near the Black Pillar was a headache all over the world.
Hell’s magic and strong monsters gushing out.
From the process of researching to raiding dungeons, several guilds had to work together.
That buck that buck
A dark cave without a single bug.
This is a runaway dungeon that appeared in Paris.
Since it appeared in the middle of the city, it was an area where several guilds collaborated to investigate, starting with Iris Guild, the best guild in France.
However, strangely, there was no sign of popularity except for one person.
A man in a black tuxedo walking inside a dungeon.
Lucifer.
He exhaled the energy of death simply by walking, and checked his body condition by clenching and bleeding his fists.
“You’re in perfect shape.”
Having adapted to the magic of the human world, Lucifer was finally able to use his full power.
The magic of this world was still unpleasant, but thanks to the magic of hell flowing from the black pillars all over the world, I was able to recover quickly.
Since all of the wounds inflicted by the human woman had been recovered, it was time to move on.
The first is the investigation of the human world.
Lucifer was interested in what humans called a dungeon runaway phenomenon.
It might be a runaway phenomenon in the dungeon to humans, but it was all too familiar to Lucifer.
It was because the environment of the dungeon was becoming similar to hell.
Even some of the overcrowded dungeons were connected to hell and space.
That doesn’t mean that Lucifer can go to hell, but some dungeons are really hell.
The dungeons are turning into hell because the black pillars from which the magic of hell flows are not enough.
The whole thing was smiling at Lucifer, but he didn’t stop his doubts.
“… So unnatural.”
Lucifer was interested in the human world from hell.
Naturally, he did not stop researching the human world, but after several years of research, he learned painfully how difficult it is to connect dimensions.
The only time humans fall into hell is when their dimensions are disrupted.
That’s why human slaves were rare, and it was safe to say that there was little contact between the two worlds.
What was happening now was so unnatural.
As if someone was manipulating it, the human world and hell were connected.
“Is this what the god that human being said is like…”
A god that a human called Maestro calls out every day.
Lucifer is well aware that the Devil and God are different.
If there really is an omnipotent being, can this phenomenon be explained?
Lucifer walked through the dungeon with such thoughts in mind.
The bodies of the people he killed were scattered all over the dungeon.
For Lucifer, who lived in hell, the death of the weak was as natural as breathing, so he did not feel any emotions when he saw the deaths of humans.
“Keukuuuuu…”
At that time, one of the humans lying on the floor groaned and glared at Lucifer.
Lucifer looked at the floor curiously.
“It’s amazing. How are you alive? I’ve never had any power control.”
An investigator from the Iris Guild who was investigating the dungeon.
Fortunately, he was spared from being hit by the attack, and with the last of his strength, he caught Lucifer’s figure in his eyes.
“This… You bastard of the pandemic. Do you think you can survive like that even if you give up on humans?”
His body was already ruined.
Even if she pretends to be dead and sends Lucifer, she won’t be able to come back to life.
If so, she delivers Lucifer’s information for the emperor of the night who took her away.
That was my last job as a member of the Iris guild.
The investigator connected the secretly brought artifact to the Iris Guild’s emergency contact network.
Of course, Lucifer wasn’t interested in what humans did.
He grasped the shimmering of his mana with his Mystic Eye, but he judged that there was no need to stop it.
“Human, do you believe in the existence of God?”
The human in front of him misunderstood himself as a demon.
There was no need to explain, so Lucifer just shared the problem he was contemplating with humans.
If it’s a human gaze, it might solve your troubles.
“If there really is a transcendent being in hell, this situation could be explained, but then there must be a god in the human world.”
“Shut up! No matter how desperate you are. The Emperor of the Night will kill all of you…!”
“Or does the god of the human world intend to let his world perish?
“What bullshit…! Before that, find out your true identity… Big!
“I wonder if the humans who investigated this place didn’t have any information either.”
Awesome
Deed Deuk.
If the human beings investigating did not have any information, there was nothing more to be expected of them.
There was no time to explain his identity to a lowly human, so Lucifer stepped on the man’s chest, broke his heart, and left.
After exiting the dungeon, Lucifer looked into the air.
Within hours of Lucifer’s resumption of activity, he investigated three dungeons, and none of the questions were answered.
Even if he continues to investigate further, his doubts about this world he has will not be resolved.
If digging deep doesn’t yield an answer, it’s the right thing to stop worrying about.
‘Except for a few abnormally strong people, there are no humans who can be a threat to me.’
Besides, I don’t know the cause, but the whole situation was laughing at Lucifer.
The magic of this world and hell were very different.
Lucifer, who experienced humans in Hell, also took time, so it’s only natural that he couldn’t adapt to other humans.
Most humans have not yet adapted to the magic of hell.
The danger of the black pillar, which is equivalent to extreme poison to humans, was strangely ignored.
This also… It seemed that someone intended it that way.
‘Lee Ho-yeon. And Liliana.’
There are only two variables that Lucifer cannot control.
He had to consider the human who had hurt him, but he was better than those two who couldn’t be read by the demonic eyes.
Lucifer, who had been staring into space, took his steps.
The next destination is Korea.
With most of the basic research done, it’s time to move on to the next step.
‘Seize the magic circle in the academy.’
Killing Lee Ho-yeon while helping the assimilation of hell is what ‘Shin’ wants.
But Lucifer doesn’t stop there.
We need to find out why Ho-yeon Lee can be captured alive to stop the evil eye.
Seat of the devil. And think until then.
After dusting off his tuxedo, Lucifer left the devastated dungeon behind and headed to Korea.
*
Inside Alice’s house.
Upon hearing that Lucifer had appeared, Irene bit her lip and thumped her feet.
Scarlett should be here soon since the emergency contact network was turned on, but in the meantime, anxiety was unavoidable.
The place where Lucifer appeared is Korea.
It was in a position where even Alice could be reached.
“The world is disturbing us…”
Lucifer was concerned about Lee Ho-yeon, and he appeared in Korea.
There are too many people who interfere with the happy life the three of them will spend.
Irene lamented and prepared her tea.
Lucifer appears, but he can’t run away right away.
Since information has been shared with each institution, it is time to move on.
Ding-dong.
Irene jumped out at the ringing bell and opened the door, and she blinked her eyes at the five people standing in front of the door.
“Hello, Mr. Irene.”
“… Yes?”
Obviously, the emergency contact was made only to Scarlett.
But there are 5 people standing outside the door.
No, let’s say 4 women are like that.
I shared all the information with those women, so it was understandable enough for me to come with them.
Just in case, I prepared their tea.
But why is Lee Ho-yeon here?
‘… I have so many things to say.’
The story about Lucifer was the same, and there was also the information I had heard from Elise.
I wanted to share this, but Lee Ho-yeon came and the plan went wrong.
Since she couldn’t leave her guests outside like this, Irene led her guests into the living room.
Lee Ho-yeon, who sat in her seat, checked the coffee cup that was set.
Not being in front of her own seat was a bit questionable, but that wasn’t the point now.
“Irene. Lucifer appeared. Doesn’t she have to go right away?”
“Hmm… It’s not that urgent. We’ve figured out the location, but we need to know the dangers around it, and we need the agency’s cooperation. Oh, that’s right. This is the Lucifer information you asked for last time. Wild Gladiator and Strange nightmare put it together in writing.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Lee Ho-yeon carefully read the documents Irene gave her.
For the most part, she was the same as she knew, but she might get some information she didn’t know.
While Lee Ho-yeon bowed her head.
Irene exchanged greetings with the women.
“It’s been a while. Daeun-ah. There’s a lot to say, so relax.”
“…Irene-san. I understand. Ah, Hoyeon-ah. Can I see it too?”
“Irene. Is it okay for us to see it too?”
“Of course.”
Nam Da-eun and Rebecca checked Lee Ho-yeon’s documents together, and Liliana chatted beside him.
Of course, Scarlett also tried to follow him, but an awkward voice came.
“Keuhmm. Kkeuhm…”
It’s a blank cough that seems to ask anyone to look at it.
Scarlett, about to check her papers, turned her head to look at Irene.
Irene turned her pupils left and right as soon as her eyes met Scarlett’s.
“…?”
Her glances from Irene were too familiar.
A sign to convey information in situations where one cannot open one’s mouth.
Even if he tried to forget the password system of the Iris Guild he had memorized, he couldn’t forget it.
Scarlett looked at Lee Ho-yeon for a moment and blinked at her.
‘What happened. Miss Irene.’
‘Scarlett. Why did you bring Lee Ho-yeon?!’
‘Because there might be a battle. Wouldn’t it make sense for her to bring the strongest power? Hoyeon-nim is not an outsider, and he needs to know information about Lucifer.’
‘I see… However! I mean, I had something to tell you. It’s important information about Lee Ho-yeon.’
‘Then wouldn’t it be nice if you told me in advance? Don’t worry, I’ll make room for you later.”
Nod.
After completing her communication, Irene corrected her expression.
For her part, she wanted to end the conversation before Ellis, who had gone to the academy to seek cooperation, returned.
“Would you like to check this too?”
“What is this?”
“It’s a signal from a guild member who was attacked. Unfortunately, there is no video…”
– Human, do you believe in God?
Lucifer’s voice.
The recording was cut off with a squeaking sound, but some conversation remained.
It was a meaningless conversation about God.
“Hasn’t that kid fallen for a cult? There are so many cults in Hell.”
“… It’s not like that.”
After answering Liliana’s nonsense, Lee Ho-yeon thought about Lucifer’s words.
Seeing what God is doing, it’s clear that that bastard is also sharing information with the Maestro.
But there was no important information.
“Irene, so where is Lucifer? Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It’s the 32nd Black Pillar. I found a hideout outside of Seoul.”
“The black pillar…”
It’s like a home ground for Lucifer, who is from Hell, so of course he’s hiding there.
“Yes. We have requested cooperation from various organizations, so the answer will come soon. Let’s think about how to move next.”
Hoyeon Lee narrowed her eyes.
Assuming that a battle with Lucifer takes place, most hunters who do not know the magic of hell will be useless.
She thinks it’s better to form a small elite, but… It seemed that no one would risk their lives against an unknown monster.
‘I need Lucifer’s information, but….’
Would you rather go alone?
When I was thinking
Irene, her eyes wide open, jumped up from her seat.
“What’s wrong?”
“… Alice is arriving soon.”
“Yes?”
“It’s faster than I thought. It looks like the academy gave you a reply right away. What should I do? I can’t come right now… Ummmm. Do you want to go home? I’ll call you again.”
“…”
I can understand why Irene would do that.
It’s because Alice doesn’t know Lee Ho-yeon’s women.
But now every minute counts.
Lee Ho-yeon was also embarrassed by the sudden situation, but Lucifer appeared and I can’t waste time on useless things.
“No. I’ll tell Alice.”
She lives next door and cannot hide forever.
Now might not be a bad timing.
If it doesn’t work, you can run away even then.
Lee Ho-yeon swallowed her saliva and stood up from her seat.
