Chapter 577 – Chapter 577. Isaac, Emperor of the Night (5)

Fires flare up all over the city. The atmosphere was gloomy, perhaps because of the pitch-black sky.
It is the scenery of an ordinary hell city.

The ugly monsters of hell walked around naturally, and humanoid monsters and demons were also visible.
In hell, that would be like a human being.

“Wouldn’t the castle be still the same?”
“… Yes. The door to the castle is locked and no one is allowed to enter.”
“That’s amazing. Didn’t you believe in the demon king? What are you thinking?”

Lucifer was glaring at Devil’s Castle as if he had lost an enemy.
I vividly felt the anger towards the demon king who had closed the castle in the name of a sudden break.

‘It must be absurd from Lucifer’s point of view.’

Lee Ho-yeon, who was looking at the memory from Lucifer’s point of view, nodded his head.
Lee Ho-yeon, who played the original, does not know the circumstances of hell.
Because the existence of hell does not appear in the original work.

However, Lee Ho-yeon knew who was inside the castle.

‘There must be a god in this world.’

The reason why the castle was closed even though it was decided to hand over the position of the demon king.
The reason why Lucifer suddenly came to Earth.
It must be because that bastard occupied the demon king’s body.

I couldn’t just watch Lee Ho-yeon, who had become unusually strong, win the bet.
Since he hastily descended in the body of the demon king, something absurd must have happened to the people living in hell.
Since I’m about to lose, I can descend directly to the boss. Too bad it’s an unfair world.

‘… Anyway, just kill that bastard and that’s it.’

The story is getting closer and closer to the end.
The last scenario, the attack of the demon king.
It will be even more difficult as the god of this world attacks directly, but if you overcome only one battle, it will be the ending of the original.

『Main Quest: Attack all the heroines and survive until the end of the game. If you can Failure penalty: death』

The damn main quest is over.

‘Then I can protect everything.’

This world. Heroines. And even Lee Ho-yeon herself.

Blink-

The moment I closed my eyes and opened them, the world changed.
This is one of Pandemic’s hideouts.

Of course, Lee Ho-yeon is the first place to see.
But now that I’m looking at Lucifer’s memories, this place feels familiar, as if I’m dreaming.

“So, what is the reason why the revelation is targeting a human named Lee Ho-yeon?”
“Because he’s the only human who can stop my fate.”
“Human. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“When the Demon King descends, you will understand even if you don’t understand.”

It was like a memory from when Lucifer descended to Earth not long ago.
It seemed like a normal conversation on the outside, but Lee Ho-yeon could vividly feel Lucifer’s emotions.

‘… They’re looking at each other.’

Maestro and Lucifer.
The two were aiming at each other.

Lucifer seemed suspicious of the unknown Maestro.
But why is the maestro trying to stab her in the back after he summoned him?
These guys are really scary.

Lee Ho-yeon looked around to get as much information as possible.

‘That’s the Black Holy Grail Ellis said.’

The black chalice held by the statue in front of Maestro.
The gloomy magic within it made Lee Ho-yeon feel uneasy.

If that is full, will the demon king descend?
Fortunately, from the outside, the Holy Grail still seemed to have room.
The demon king said there was a one-year break, so it might have something to do with it.

“Okay. Let’s leave right away. There are interesting things in Korea.”

Lucifer, who was clearly looking at Maestro, turned around.

Squeak-

At the same time, the scene in front of my eyes collapsed like a sand castle.
I closed my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, a bright light greeted Hoyeon Lee.
But soon something huge blocked the bright light.

“Ohhh, you’re up! How are you!”
“… Clear your face.”

Lee Ho-yeon pushed away Chiron’s face, who was approaching her, and got up from her floor.
It wasn’t the first time she’d seen a memory orb, but her headache seemed worse than the last time she saw Liliana’s memory.

“It was my first time using magic on a corpse.
“Nothing special. I just knew the enemy was fucking strong. Thank you though, Chiron.”

She didn’t have high expectations in the first place.
Just knowing that the information she knows fits roughly is a huge gain.

“Lee Ho-yeon. I, Wild Gladiator, have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“It’s possible that Lucifer is still alive.”
“… What kind of bullshit is that? You saw the body too.”

It was confirmed that Lucifer’s life was cut off.
She carried the corpse with her, and even imbued it with infernal magic to use as evidence.

“It’s a possibility. To be precise, it should be said that the string of life is connected. I think that’s why I was able to create a memory marble.”
“If it’s that important information, you should have said it before you saw the memory orb.”
“I wasn’t sure, but my senses sharpened as you checked the memory orb.”
“…”

Conversations with Chiron are always out of focus.
This one seems a little worse than Liliana. Has he lost his mind over his long life as a mercenary?
Lee Ho-yeon looked at the incubus watching from the side.

“Albedo. Do you know anything?”
“I-I… I don’t know. But Chiron’s sharp senses have been famous since Hell.”
“Hmm.”

Hearing that bothers me for nothing.
Come to think of it, when Lucifer appeared, Chiron was the first to warn her.

“I’ll let you know. Tell me whenever your senses respond.”
“Okay. Killer Queen’s aura has gotten stronger lately, do you know why?”
“Oh, Liliana? Well, it’s just because I’ve been training hard lately. I’ll go. Let’s talk later.”

Actually, it’s because the ban has been lifted a little… It’s not good to tell Chiron and Albedo about Liliana. They had memories of being beaten badly by Liliana in the past. If you try to run away, it will be very annoying.

Lee Ho-yeon, who casually greeted the guild members around her and left the training room, stretched out and moved on.
My throat is burning, perhaps because I saw the appearance of hell.

“Hell guys are really no help. They just keep making ominous noises. Scarlett. Give me some water.”
“Here you are. Hoyeon-nim.”
“Thank you.

It’s already been four days since I entrusted myself to the Iris Guild.
I stayed for a week, but there was no inconvenience.
Alice did exactly what I asked her to do, and she came only at night.

“Scarlett. Any unusual news?”
“No. I’m sure everyone is saving themselves.”

Lee Ho-yeon walked down the wide hallway looking at her smart watch.

– Iris Guild. Call for investigation into the Black Pillar worldwide.
– Unconventional support from Korea, led by Victoria Academy?!
– The American Hunter Association is still silent…
– About the truth of the Iris Guild that protects the weak.

“It’s the 4th day, but nothing really comes out.”

Even if you exclude useless articles and rumors, the investigation into the black pillar is not being conducted properly.
Lee Ho-yeon is also continuing the investigation personally, but there was something frustrating about it.

I feel like I can’t think of something very easy.
This stuffy feeling has plagued her for days.

“Scarlett. First of all, continue to help me gather information from the Iris Guild.”
“Okay. If I have important information, I’ll get it.”

Sasasac-

Scarlett stuck to the ceiling and disappeared.

A time when Alice doesn’t come.
Lee Ho-yeon used to do research on the black pillar alone.
But today, perhaps because I was looking at the memory marble, I lacked the concentration to do research.

“Should I go see Irene at least? She should be in the 1st team leader’s office by now.”

*

The Iris Guild’s guild leader’s room.
Inside the barrier, a blonde beauty was banging on her desk.

“I can’t return to work as a guild leader for four days. You must be very tired. Father.”
“Irene, our eldest daughter. You know that her dad doesn’t usually get in touch during work. So that’s about to happen…”
“But it is! I’m with Alice!”

Irene banged on her desk and glared at her father.
While she said she was gathering her information about Lucifer, she suddenly found herself hiding in Pandemic’s lair.
What if Alice got hurt!

“I, I, too, do not want to take Elise to such a place. But as her successor, Elise is now…”
“I can do the dangerous stuff! Even though my dad obviously agreed to it! If you come and change your mind now! What should I do!”
“Cheup. Irene. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
“Ha ha, whoa…”

Irene, who shook Isaac’s shoulder, calmed down slowly.
Being so angry, nothing changes.
She knows that Alice has to go through this experience.
What she is doing now is to vent her anger toward her father, who had no contact at this time.

“I hope this doesn’t happen next time. If you’re alone, guild leader, it’s okay if you don’t contact me for a whole year, but if you have Elise, you must contact me periodically. You know?”
“Okay. Team leader 1…”

Irene came out of her guild room, leaving behind the Emperor of the Night, who slumped her shoulders.

[Darling… Are you okay? I will tell Irene personally.]
[Honey, it’s because I’m worried about my daughter. Don’t worry]

The couple’s voices coming from behind forced her out of her head.
Returning to the empty 1st Team Leader’s office, Irene sat down in her own seat.

“…Why are you so quiet?”

In fact, most of the team leader’s room was quiet.
This is because working-level staff always collect information from the outside.

But these days, this quietness has been awkward.
The cause is crazy women living at Lee Ho-yeon’s house.
Before Lucifer’s attack, the desolation came even louder because there were no women who came to the house every day to talk and talk.

I was annoyed when I was there, but when I’m not there, I feel so quiet. It seems that humans are selfish animals.

“No. Still, it’s better not to have it.”

Actually, it wasn’t that I didn’t like them.
Of course, the previous kidnapping was so shocking, but after fighting together in Lucifer’s raid incident, a bond was formed in my heart before I knew it.

The problem is Lee Ho-yeon.

The man.
A bad guy who stays at the Iris Guild for a week and takes Ellis to himself every night.

“Since she got the lodging ticket, she’s going to her for the whole week. I can understand. But… If you have a conscience, shouldn’t she come to visit you at least once?”

Irene still remembers the nights she spent with Lee Ho-yeon.
Even if he tried to forget the hot memories he carved into his belly, he couldn’t forget them.
But, only for Alice…

“Haa. Lee Ho-yeon made everything weird.”

Why should I spend time thinking about men?
He doesn’t even have time to think about himself and his sister, who are the most beautiful people in the world.

“He’s a very bad guy… I know he’s doing the Black Pillar research. But how much I helped him.”

Lee Ho-yeon is supported by the Iris Guild thanks to Alice and Irene.
He doesn’t even want to spend the night with Alice.
It would have been nice if he had taken a break and visited just once.

I don’t even know that grace… !

[Irene. Are you inside? She came to play for a while.]
“Hick.”

Even a tiger will come when I say it.
Really came

Irene casually picked up the pile of papers next to her.

“Yes. Come in.”

He didn’t even know that the corner of his mouth went up at Lee Ho-yeon’s voice that he heard for a moment.
Irene greeted Lee Ho-yeon with her legs crossed, pretending to concentrate on her work.
