Chapter 542 – Chapter 542. Lucifer of Ruin (6)

Lucifer’s attack was truly overwhelming.
Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon’s magic somehow succeeded in defending them, but the aftermath of the conflict that spread around them was enormous.

“Ha ha. Hmmm…”

After a huge wave of magical power hits the center.
Nam Da-eun barely maintained her balance while holding her favorite sword like a staff.
Lucifer’s magic was a fatal blow to Nam Da-eun, who continued to fight for a long time in a space filled with the magic of hell.

Of course, it’s not just Nam Da-eun.
The other heroines either collapsed or barely stood in the face of the massive magical clash.

“… Rebecca. Are you okay?”
“It hurts a little that the barrier is broken.”

Rebecca rubbed his stomach and squinted his eyes.
It was because the rune’s barrier was shattered and he received the shock as it was.

“Ehh? What is this?”
“… What’s wrong? Liliana.”
“Something’s strange. My magic is returning.”
“Magic power?”

He could hear chatter from the side, but instead of Liliana, Nam Da-eun looked straight ahead at Lee Ho-yeon.
Nam Da-eun could not take her eyes off the scene in front of her.

“… Hoyeon-ah?”

Nam Da-eun saw.
The blue magic explodes, and the space that can’t handle the huge power bends.
Lee Ho-yeon was emitting an absurdly thick mana, completely different from his previous appearance.

Pounding. Pounding.

Lee Ho-yeon’s body is overflowing with energy.
The magic circuit is filled with magic power, and the sense of battle heats up the body.

“Is this how it feels? I made it, but I made it well.”

The power of the magic circle that Lucifer enjoyed was greater than expected.
Magical power rages around Lee Ho-yeon.
The magic that rotates and draws a spiral endlessly expands and inspires Lee Ho-yeon.

Gying-
Widely. Widely. Widely.

Spiral magic spread through the air, and a bright light spread from the dark center.
The center of the fake dungeon controlled by Lee Ho-yeon began to light up.
The full mana of hell was absorbed into Lee Ho-yeon’s body, and Lee Ho-yeon naturally switched to his own mana.

At the same time, Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes shone with a golden light.

Open eyes. Heart

The throbbing pain in every part of his body was still there, but the magic circuit was full of mana.

“How nice it would be if this happened sooner. Fuck. It’s going to be hard.”

Lee Ho-yeon glanced at the magic circle that belonged to her again, her golden eyes shining.
It is almost impossible to regain the original initiative and restore the magic circle that has already been activated.
However, the awakened Gae-Eun found a crack in the magic circle filled with Lucifer’s magic, and Lee Ho-yeon confronted Lucifer and injected magic into the magic circle.

‘Still, I’m glad I took it in time.’

From the moment I found a gap in the magic circle, it was a race against time.
Lee Ho-yeon had to seize the initiative of the magic circle before Lucifer noticed, and he had to draw Lucifer’s attention so that he could not pay attention to other things.
It was quite difficult to block Lucifer’s attack as I put all my strength into the magic circle, but… It paid off handsomely.

He made it himself, but the power of the fake dungeon magic circle was amazing.
A large amount of magic power was needed to cover the entire academy, but Lucifer drew that magic power and used it as his own.

‘… The inside of the magic circle doesn’t make sense.’

Lucifer didn’t care about the state of the magic circle and used his magic recklessly.
Probably because it doesn’t matter whether the magic circle collapses or not. Thanks to that, the magic circle was completely ruined.

Lee Ho-yeon moved her fingertips to examine the magic circle.
The fake dungeon magic circle was originally prepared with various traps and trials, but most of its functions were now damaged.

‘People are gathering in one place. Are you looking for the center?’

Lee Ho-yeon opened the map inside the dungeon.
Inside the dungeon, there are many high-class personnel, including the academy’s professors.
Thanks to Lucifer draining all his mana, there are no monsters attacking, and no other traps are triggered, so it’s only natural to find a way out while saving people.

‘OK. Grasp complete.’

Lee Ho-yeon changed the composition of the magic circle in an instant.
It was easy to come up with a way to draw out magic without the magic circle collapsing.
As the people inside began to gather in one place, many empty areas were created, and all that made up the empty space was surplus magic power.

Whoops-!

Lee Ho-yeon reduced the magic circle.
A roar spread throughout the magic circle, and all the useless magical energy returned to the center.

“… Deploy the Macheon Palace.”

The omnipotence felt when the Macheon Palace is opened.
The feeling of being able to do anything in this place felt even more certain today.

Recognizing the magical energy entering his body, Lee Ho-yeon was convinced.

Lucifer that bastard is an asshole.

“If you can’t beat me with this power, it’s a matter of talent.”

Lee Ho-yeon looked around.
All the heroines who were struggling to hold on were panting.
Lucifer’s attack made him unable to fight.

‘I don’t think it would be good to prolong the time.’

The heroines’ stamina was also a problem, but I didn’t want to drag on this fight any longer.
If I don’t kill that madman now, I don’t know what else he’ll do.

Gee-!

Lee Ho-yeon raised his hand forward.
Replaces the hellish magic flowing from the magic circle with your own blue magic.

It was too much magic power for Lee Ho-yeon to handle, but it was possible with Macheongung.
It converts the magic of hell neatly into one’s own magic and amplifies the power with an optimized magic technique.

Gripping support-

“Let’s finish it soon. You devil bastard.”

Lightning began to flow inside Macheongung.
The huge lightning bolt Lee Ho-yeon summoned split into dozens of branches, and each one moved according to Lee Ho-yeon’s will.
One by one, the white flashes of light, ready to devour all beings in front of them, rose into the sky.

‘They blocked my powers and at the same time burrowed into the magic circle?’

Lucifer narrowed his eyes and looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power.
The control of the fake dungeon magic circle has completely passed.
It’s a problem that he can’t control this dungeon himself, but Lucifer was surprised that the magic circle itself was taken away.

Just because he didn’t pay attention to the magic circle didn’t mean he wasn’t interested at all.
What Lee Ho-yeon did was the same as stealing all the food she was eating right in front of her eyes.
If you didn’t notice that, she was a complete disaster as a mage.

“…”

Lucifer kept his mouth shut and glared at him in front.
Lee Ho-yeon’s mana, which perfectly digested her hellish magic, was more than Lucifer’s mana, and her lightning that ran across the ground was strong enough to fatally wound Lucifer.

‘Don’t worry.’

But it’s not over yet.
There is no way he can’t beat Lee Ho-yeon, who has already beaten him several times.
Lucifer glared at the lightning that was approaching him and aroused his magic.

No, I was trying to get it up.

Quaang-!

At the same time Lucifer activated his magic eye, a bolt of lightning struck Lucifer’s head.

“Keuugh! What is this…”

It was a moment in time, but should I say fortunately?
His body reacted to lightning faster than sound.

Lucifer lowered his gaze.
The floor was covered with Lucifer’s footprints, and the spot where he stood was charred.
Ugly footprints that seem to have run away in a hurry.
Lucifer instinctively took a backward step from Lee Ho-yeon’s lightning.

… Have you ever been intimidated by an enemy right in front of you in your life?

It’s not a defeat as a wizard.
A complete defeat as a warrior.

‘I have to run away.’

Lucifer thought.
He is now more calm than ever.

Lucifer had never run away from any fight before.
Even when confronted with thousands of beasts, Lucifer would crush the enemy with his fists when his magic power ran out.
That’s how it was created, and it was nicknamed Lucifer of Ruin.

A life-and-death fight is something Lucifer enjoys, but for him, it’s a story when the odds are right.

Lee Ho-yeon took over the magical power of the magic circle he was using, and his condition was not perfect.
There is no need to continue fighting where the opponent’s victory is certain.
Since he was Lucifer who had experienced the power of the magic circle, he was able to judge more calmly.

Paji Jiji-!

Lucifer’s shield blocks the approaching lightning.
However, even if one is blocked, lightning strikes from all sides.

“Sigh…!”

Lucifer slowly backed away.
It wasn’t that he had no way to escape.
Lucifer was not stupid enough not to buy insurance in the unfamiliar space of the human world.
If he makes the slightest gap, he can move himself into his lair.

At that time, Lee Ho-yeon, who was in front of Lucifer, opened his mouth.

“Don’t run away, Lucifer.”
“…!”
“Are you afraid of me?”

Lee Ho-yeon raised the corner of her mouth.
The awakened Open Eye perfectly read Lucifer’s psychology, and knew how to stop him.

“The most heinous demon born in hell. Is the heir of the demon king called Lucifer of Ruin, who ruled hell, afraid of humans and thinking of running away?”

Lucifer looked at Lee Ho-yeon with dazed eyes.
I couldn’t understand what that man was saying.
No, I understand, but I couldn’t accept it.

‘How do you know the titles you used to call in hell?’

No, titles don’t matter.
Upon hearing Lee Ho-yeon’s words, Lucifer’s eyes trembled.
You hear people say that? You, the successor of the Demon King?
Lucifer couldn’t possibly accept that fact.

“… You are arrogant. Lee Ho-yeon.”

My head is hot.
Anger rises in the head of Lucifer, who was cool and calm.

“Arrogant, rude, disrespectful.”

Lucifer’s negative emotions are amplified.
The seeds of feelings of inferiority, which he has never had before, bloom and quickly fill Lucifer’s body.
He is so angry that even he can’t understand it.

“Lee Ho-yeon. You dare to ruin all my plans as a human being, and claim that you stole my magic circle.”

Lucifer forced his trembling legs forward.
I slowly approached Lee Ho-yeon’s territory.

“Did you lose your mind? Why is it yours?”

Lee Ho-yeon laughed at Lucifer’s words.
Was it memory manipulation?
Lee Ho-yeon poured her magic into ’emotional amplification’ and looked at her Lucifer’s condition.

Until now, it was impossible to pierce Lucifer’s magic eye and magical power and use emotion amplification, but not now.
Lee Ho-yeon, who was assisted by the awakened Eye, Macheongung, and the magic circle, could easily touch Lucifer’s feelings.

“I’ll kill you. I’ll make you resent the arrogant past.”

Thud. Thud.

Lucifer ignored her body’s signals of danger.
The negative emotions that filled her whole body made her forget the strength of the enemy in front of her for a moment.

‘Don’t worry.’

Lucifer smiled at Lee Ho-yeon, seeing her emotions being read in her mind.

Fear. Anxiety. Feeling of pressure.
Lee Ho-yeon’s emotions were still unstable.

“… You’re shaking. It’s a buggy bravado.”

That look is all bullshit.
Then it is. She herself is the Lord of Hell and the successor of the Demon King.
There’s just no way to lose to humans.

Gaining her confidence, Lucifer spread her proud wings.
The jet-black magic power that seemed to devour everything began to fill the center again.

That moment.

Kwajijik-

Dozens of lightning bolts approaching in an instant hit Lucifer’s whole body.
Lucifer’s right arm fell off neatly.
