Chapter 524 – Chapter 524. Spilled Water (2)

Boredom.
Getting used to that feeling is not a good thing.

Enthusiasm disappears no matter what you do, and physical/mental fatigue intensifies.

There are many ways to escape boredom.
If it’s your job, you need to find a new way to escape burnout, and if it’s academic, you need the will to work for the future.

However, what if it is the boredom felt by the whole world?
The common man can never understand the boredom he feels when he has no one to compare him with.

Every creature has something it wants to achieve.
Since Lucifer was born, it was quite different.

I couldn’t find fun in other people’s entertainment.
He didn’t want a happy family or a loving lover.

What he is interested in is a strong man who is stronger than himself.
And he knows nothing new.

Lucifer felt bored every day after becoming aware of his power.

An all-piercing demonic eye and a naturally strong body.
Even though it is a body type, it even has an overwhelming degree of adaptability of magical power.
It was a natural result that a creature called Lucifer, born for battle, became the strongest in Hell.

He said that in Hell he was stronger than himself.
The place of the blood king, the devil, was already his own, and if he gained the magic of the devil, Lucifer would reign over all living things in hell.

That’s why it took a lot of time for Lucifer to get out of boredom.
No, to be precise, he didn’t get out until recently.

Things that the magic eye that I thought was perfect didn’t work.
That was Lucifer’s new interest.

An unknown magic power created in the castle of demons.
For the first time in his life, it was ‘something’ invisible to the demonic eye.
However, it was not possible to dig deep into it, because even Lucifer could not pierce the seal using the magic of the demon castle.

“It’s fun. It’s fresh and exciting.”

Lucifer’s Mystic Eye pierces everything.
I never thought that the first life form to destroy that premise would be in the human world and not in hell.

Serug-. Squeeze-.

Lucifer smiled as he checked the personal information about Lee Ho-yeon that the demons had saved.
Even as an orphan, her abilities are the highest among humans.
In particular, his magical power was such that even Lucifer admired it.

“There’s nothing unusual about your origin. Then you’re a pure human… Is it a mutation that comes out from time to time?”

Jijijigi Baekjeonbultae (知彼知己 百war不殆.)
Knowing your enemy is the easiest way to win.

There was no need to do such troublesome things in Hell, but it was only natural to prepare for an unknown opponent.
I wasn’t ashamed or ashamed of myself.
Rather, I was interested in the series of investigations.

“Maestro. He must have been a strange person somewhere. But Lee Ho-yeon isn’t particularly special.”

Maestro.
He is a human who called himself into the human world.
To put him in one word, he is an empty shell human with a different mind and actions.
A human who gave everything to summon the Demon King.

He was able to know it only after he had some understanding of the human world.
Each action of the maestro is heterogeneous.

From his way of speaking, to his actions, to his mindset.

Lucifer didn’t even think to understand him.
But he didn’t ignore it like other humans.

This is because he is also an anomaly that blocks some of his demonic eyes.

‘We also need to uncover the phenomenon of the black pillars and runaway dungeons in this world.’

When Lucifer was in Hell.
If he became the Demon King, he planned to invade the human world first.

There was nothing more to gain from hell, so I wanted to attack another dimension.
Of course, the research to connect dimensions did not stop, and because Lucifer had a talent for magical powers, the research proceeded smoothly.

However, the runaway phenomenon of black pillars and dungeons seen in the human world showed overwhelming performance, as if ridiculing Lucifer’s research.

The runaway dungeon is gradually integrating with hell.
Some dungeons are now like hell.
It wouldn’t be strange even if the Demonic Beast came out right away.

The black pillars everywhere spread the magic of hell to the human world and create a hell-like environment.
Even the humans, who were wary at first, gradually became less vigilant after realizing that they were not immediately harmed.

No, that may also be the intention of the person who created this phenomenon.

“If the being that does this isn’t God, then what is?”

Hell’s magic emanating from the black pillar.
And a dungeon that directly connects hell and the human world.
Thanks to those two phenomena, the assimilation of hell is accelerating.

‘I wonder if the demon king the Maestro was talking about will be summoned soon.’

Whenever he talks about the coming of the devil, the eyes of the maestro looking at him come to mind.
Those eyes that seem to covet themselves… I didn’t like it.

‘If you summon the demon king… I’ll be able to see a familiar face after a long time.’

His father, who suddenly went into seclusion in the Demon Castle.
Thinking of seeing the demon king, even the cold-blooded Lucifer is looking forward to it… It didn’t work.

‘I don’t want to summon the demon king.’

The reason Lucifer wanted to become the devil was because boring hell was not fun.
The only thing he didn’t get in Hell was the position of the Demon King.
That’s why he coveted the Demon King.

It was in order to find something interesting that I was interested in the human world.
Now he is in the human world, and he does not have to go back to the boring hell anymore.

There are still many interesting things here that you don’t know about.
Human growth is amazing, so strong humans might come out and threaten you.
Lucifer expected it too much.

The Maestro said he had to rid the world of the human species.
If the human world perishes and becomes a colony of hell, Lucifer will have to return to boring hell again.

“If I have to live with the demons of Hell again, I’d rather die here.”

I am not interested in the mages of hell that are not interesting.
Lucifer nodded his head while looking at Lee Ho-yeon’s information in his hand.

‘What needs to be done is to capture Lee Ho-yeon alive.’

Lucifer doesn’t have mercy on his enemies, but he’s one of the most interesting creatures in the human world.
Besides, there are so many things to investigate from him, who is the best at defending against the Mystic Eye.

‘Then the maestro.’

He’s obviously hiding a lot from himself.
He’s unlikely to lose from being stabbed in the back, but he doesn’t want to have the bad experience of being betrayed by humans.

“There are still many places to use Maestro… First, Lee Ho-yeon.”

Squeak-

Lucifer recalled the magic of hell and drew a magic circle on his hand.
It is a simplified version of Lee Ho-yeon’s magic circle that he confirmed in Victoria Park.

“It’s truly a blessing that humans can draw magic circles like this.”

Since Lucifer first checked the magic circle, he went to the park every day to check the magic circle.
For the first two days, he simply observed the magic circle.

Lucifer’s Mystic Eye doesn’t intervene, only observes.
So it doesn’t leave any traces.

Because the level of the magic circle was beyond imagination, it took longer than expected.

And today.

After Lee Ho-yeon’s analysis of the magic circle, he succeeded in taking control of his magic circle.
Originally, Lucifer’s personality would have killed all the annoying humans occupying the park, but he had to be careful today.

I haven’t left a trace so far, but I didn’t want to ruin things at the last minute.
To that extent, Lucifer was obsessed with Lee Ho-yeon.

“I guess I’ll just have to wait for the moment to activate the magic circle.”

It wasn’t long before his wish was fulfilled.
Lucifer brushed the dust off his tuxedo and raised the corners of his mouth.

Hyorin Kang, who was guarding Victoria Park, tilted her head.
She would be grateful for any help, but she thought it was a waste of manpower for now.

“Does Hoenn need to help?
“Um… Is that so?”

Lee Ho-yeon licked his lips while watching Dr. Kang Hyo-rin.
In fact, she doesn’t even need permission.
If it was Victoria Park, she was confident that even if she sneaked in, she wouldn’t get caught.

‘But it’s not like there’s no possibility at all.’

If this world had flowed according to his own will, he wouldn’t have had a headache unnecessarily.
It takes quite a while to collect the fake dungeon magic circle.
If you get caught during that time, it will be very troublesome.

‘I’d rather have an excuse if I got permission.’

Besides, the moment you get permission, you can work comfortably.
All the members of the Iris Guild know that Lee Ho-yeon visits Victoria Park often, so she won’t mind what she does in the corner.
Because there is an invincible excuse that is a genius mage’s magic research.

‘Of course, I do feel uneasy.’

What worries me a little is that Irene has a contact with the Iris Guild.
Other girls might care about my movements.

‘… Wouldn’t it be okay?’

Lee Ho-yeon quickly organized her thoughts.
She thought about it for a moment, but just by entering Victoria Park, she didn’t seem suspicious.
In the first place, she is now subject to suspicion wherever she goes.
When she has time to think about useless things, she must move quickly and retrieve the magic circle.

“A Hoenn cadet?”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled at Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, who blinked at her.
In fact, it was already too late the moment she said her goodbyes to Dr. Kang Hyo-rin.
The only choice left for her is to accept Lee Ho-yeon’s permission.

“I want to help, even if it’s not a big help. I want to try to review the battle that took place that day. Are the guild members I saved that day also inside?”
“Ah… I can’t say no to that. Cadet Hoenn saved a lot of guild members. Most of them are still in the hospital, but a few are in the park who are feeling better, so go and say hello. Everyone will be grateful.”
“Thank you, Dr. Kang Hyo-rin.

Kang Hyo-rin rummaged through her pockets and handed her a name tag.
Hoyeon Lee bowed her head, and Dr. Hyorin Kang draped her pass around her neck, and she entered Victoria Park.

‘First of all, say goodbye… Do it later.’

He should be thanked for his alibi, but the first thing he needs to do is retrieve the fake dungeon magic circle.
Lee Ho-yeon hurriedly started heading to the corner of the park.

*

After Lee Ho-yeon entered the park.
Hyorin Kang at her entrance turned her head with a nudge at her.

“… You really came? It’s amazing.”

Kang Hyo-rin looked at his back as he entered the park.
I asked for that a few days ago, but I didn’t know that he would really come.

“It’s just magic research, but the 1st team leader is also the main one.”

Tiff. Tdy Dick. Tiff.

As for Hyo-rin Kang, as soon as Lee Ho-yeon’s figure disappeared, she operated her smart watch.
It was because there was an order from the 1st team leader to report immediately when he entered.

“Is this the power of love? To say that a lover wants to know where they are going. Team leader 1 also has a girlish side.”

Kang Hyo-rin, who sent a secret signal to Irene, smiled and leaned her back against the wall while looking straight ahead.
Now it’s the beginning of the boring time again.

‘It would be nice if someone would come and talk to me. Ah, if I make fun of Scarlett later on, she’ll get angry….’

She just didn’t know what she had done.
Kang Hyo-rin was blank and she looked up at the blue sky.
