Chapter 587 – 587. Gates of Hell

An island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
An uninhabited island away from civilization is a remote place completely untouched by humans.
In the center of the island, where you can see unique wildlife and natural scenery, stood a huge gate.

A huge gate that is completely different from the atmosphere of an unspoilt island.
On the luxurious door, like a sculpture, there was a complex and detailed depiction of human suffering.
And not far from the door, stood two men.

“I’m bored to death.”

“I’m complaining that there’s nothing as easy as guard duty. Don’t you know that the other guild members made a fuss about breaking the black pillar?”

“I heard. They say he’s undergoing special training on the magic of hell.”

“Yes. I heard that the process of learning it is very difficult. You know the Lucifer that attacked Korea, right? They say you have to touch the corpse. They say that in that way he can learn the magic of hell.”

“Ugh, just hearing that makes me feel bad.”

“How comfortable we are. You can just stare blankly at the sea.”

The members of the Iris Guild chatted and glanced at the huge door behind them.
It is a structure that is ominous just by looking at it.
It was impossible to get close to it because it was emitting hellish magic like a black pillar, but it was located as close as possible so that it could respond immediately if something happened.

“Anyway, isn’t this door a bit scary? It looks like something will come out.”

I don’t know what this door is, but looking at it gives me goosebumps and chills.
Besides, I felt bad because of the magic of hell.

“It must be something similar to the black pillar. It only gave me a headache, but it wasn’t anything special. Besides, student Lee Ho-yeon, no, mage Lee Ho-yeon succeeded in destroying it in the end.”
“They say you shouldn’t ignore the black pillar… Mr. A. I don’t know. It’s shift time soon, so get ready. Who’s next?”
“Eugene and Alex…”

Coo goong-

That moment. The huge door swayed.
The guild members who were chatting stopped moving as if they had promised.
The air around them became heavy, and the ground beneath their feet began to shake.

“What, what. An earthquake?”
“Damn it. Report first… Huh?”

Creak. Creak.
Dalgrak- Dalgrak-

The huge door they were guarding was shaking little by little.
A rotten smell wafted from the other side of the door.
Even though there was quite a distance, fear as if facing a huge abyss struck the guild members.

“Bo, report. Report!”
“There’s no response to the radio…! Magic doesn’t even move!”
“What the fuck… Run away…”

Kiyi Iik-

The creaking door opens completely.
The darkness leaking out of it moved as if it were alive and took control of the surroundings.

[Kyahahaha. Kyahahaha.]
[Grrruk-Grulruk-]

Indescribable grotesque sounds are heard.
At the same time, the darkness protruding from the door hit the guild members at great speed.

“Ah…”

Last minute.
The guild member closed his eyes as he watched the despair overtake him.

Click-click-

Busy photo studio.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled and looked at the camera in front of her.
Before she went back to Korea, it was Irene’s request that she take a photo to promote the Iris Guild.

“I’ll take it. Wistyty~.”
“Wistiti.”

For reference, Wistity is the French version of kimchi in Korea.
Lee Ho-yeon also found out when he came to the photo studio.
What did it mean was it a monkey?

“I didn’t see a smiley face… Shall I finish it like this?”
“I’ll check it out.”

As the photographer smiled awkwardly, Irene, who was standing behind Lee Ho-yeon, walked over and looked at the picture and nodded her head.

“I think this is enough. Thank you for your hard work.”
“No! We really appreciate it. You allowed us to use these handsome men and women for promotional purposes.”

Leaving the photographer with her head down.
Irene came this way.

“The business is over, shall we go back?”
“…Sister. I’m sure I came because I was going to take a promotional photo with Lee Ho-yeon alone.”
“The three of us took a commemorative photo while we were taking it… Were you offended? I’m sorry, Ellis.”
“It’s not offensive… No, it’s nothing.”

Alice felt strange for nothing.
Obviously not unpleasant.
It is true that Lee Ho-yeon and her picture were taken, and there is no reason to be offended if Irene was caught in it.
… But why are you annoyed?
It feels like the purpose was different in the first place.

“Ellis. We were good yesterday. Irene just wanted to take a picture, too. Ahh…”

Lee Ho-yeon was hit in the stomach by Alice’s fist and collapsed into her seat.
Elise started beating me naturally now.
Of course, she can’t hit Lee Ho-yeon just because Elise hits her, so she has no choice but to be beaten.

“…Don’t talk about that.”

Alice trembled at her hands.
Yesterday, no, in terms of time, it was less than 12 hours.
She couldn’t forget it, and Elise felt her face turn red.

“Shall we go for a bite to eat? Alice, is the steak okay?”
“Yeah. Yes… Sister, do whatever you want.”

Elise looked at Irene and slightly averted her eyes.
Lee Ho-yeon was fine, but Irene was still embarrassed.
Rather than being awkward… Because she was embarrassed
That day, while being held by Irene, she recalls her climax over and over again.
In particular, seeing Irene’s voluptuous breasts reminded her of her soft touch, so she was so embarrassed.

“Lee Ho-yeon. Are you going too? It’s your last meal in France.”
“Yes. Of course I have to go.”

“Okay, Elise. So… Um?”

Tiri-ri- T-ri-ri-

Irene, whom Alice was about to take to her favorite restaurant, looked at her smartwatch and hardened her expression.

[Emergencies occur. The guild members who were monitoring the huge gate of the Pacific disappeared, and the investigation team that went close also lost contact. Currently, the 2nd team leader has been dispatched to the site, so all the executives should be summoned to the guild leader’s office.]

Alice, who was standing next to her, had received the same message.

“Ellis. Meal later.”
“Yes. Sister.”
“… Weren’t you going to eat?”

Alice looked at Lee Ho-yeon, who tilted her head, and pondered for a moment.
Lee Ho-yeon knows about the Pacific Gate, so she won’t have any problem sharing what happens there.
If it’s something related to a pandemic, Lee Ho-yeon’s help is essential.

‘… But I’m not sure yet.’

Is it the work of the pandemic or the work of other information guilds? Or is it a third force?
At least I wanted to find out who the subject of the attack was and let me know.
Because I can’t solve everything with Lee Ho-yeon’s help.

“I’m sorry. Lee Ho-yeon. I think I need to go to the guild because something urgent happened.”
“Is there anything I can’t help with?”
“It’s the Iris Guild’s business. I’m going back to Korea now, but I can’t always get your help. I’m resting at the inn.”
“… I see. You look busy, so go quickly. See you next time, Irene.”
“Yes. See you next time. Oh, I’ll take good pictures.”

Elise ran as soon as she had finished her words, and Irene hurriedly followed.

“What does it mean to be good at photography?”

Lee Ho-yeon spoke to herself while remaining in the middle of Paris.
I hope my father isn’t caught cheating on me again.

Awesome.

I’m kind of anxious, but… She said Alice said she was fine, so she will be fine.
Lee Ho-yeon turned to her with regret.

Doo doo doo-

The Iris Guild’s helicopter hovered over an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.
It was impossible to see inside the island, which was covered in thick darkness. It was like seeing a city covered in fog at dawn, but the ominousness that emanated from it was incomparable to anything like fog.
There were more than two guild members swallowed by that darkness, so he couldn’t get any closer.

“Jackson. Is the camera running properly?”
“Yes. Captain 2. We’re relaying it to HQ in real time. But… I think we’ll have to actually see that darkness.”
“Because video doesn’t convey the atmosphere of the scene. Certainly, you can’t feel this gloomyness unless you see it yourself.”

The 2nd team leader of the Iris Guild kept an eye on the darkness while maintaining tension.
The darkness had spread to the sea around the uninhabited island. It was similar to when I actually saw an oil spill accident in the past.
The lifeless islands and sea exuded a dark and foreboding feeling.

“I can’t see the demons or the monsters in the dungeon. But the scale is too big to be a rampage in the dungeon.”
“Yes. Not yet… Huh? Team Leader 2. That’s…!”

Team 2 and Jackson looked at the deserted island and frowned.
From the corner of darkness, an unidentified creature spread its wings and flew up.

Long arms and huge wings.
And a bat-like human with sharp teeth was taking off.

“Damn it, run away! Get back now!”

Team 2 immediately turned the helicopter around, but the monster with glowing eyes even in the dark flew towards the helicopter in an instant.

“The magic… The magic doesn’t listen!”
“What?! What are you talking about with such a distance!”

Card Deuk-

The monster’s movements were fast and fierce. In the blink of an eye, the helicopter’s body tipped over.
Sharp claws scratched the steel of the aircraft.

“Damn it… Jackson! Ready for battle…”

*

[Jackson! Ready for battle… Tooth support support-]

Beep. Beep. Beep.

With Team 2’s final shout, the video ended.
The executives gathered in the Iris guild manager’s office swallowed saliva as they watched the last appearance of the 2nd team leader.

“…”
“…”

It was a shocking video, so no one opened their mouths first.
As the team leader said, that huge darkness was a phenomenon that did not exist.
In addition, even the first strong monster appeared.
This meant that it could not be solved with the power of the Iris Guild alone.

“… We are not sending any more guild members. Instead, it would be better to forward this video to other guilds and associations.”
“Yes. I’ll contact you right away.”
“Something like that appeared in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so I can’t control the information. I’d rather move first before figuring it out elsewhere.”

Fortunately, the Iris Guild discovered and controlled the huge door first.
But things have changed. If you can’t control it, you must lead.

“The Wizard’s Association comes first. Next is the Victoria Academy.”
“We’re in direct contact with the president of Arthur!”

The atmosphere in the guild room was surprisingly calm.
Everyone here is a pro.
In times like these, you need to control your emotions and take care of your priorities.

‘I should have brought Lee Ho-yeon.’

Meanwhile, after watching the video, Elise sighed quietly and regretted it.
I don’t know what that darkness is, but no matter how much I think about it, the only solution I can think of is Lee Ho-yeon.
She had a lot of information about him that she didn’t even know about.

“… I’ll contact Lee Ho-yeon. He might know something about her.”
“Oh, yes, Alice.

The world’s best information guild.
No, Iris Guild, which has now become the world’s best in all fields, lacks information than Lee Ho-yeon.
Although they are somewhat cooperative now, it upsets Ellis that she couldn’t be more helpful to him.
Is this the way to kill the Demon King Lee Ho-yeon was talking about?

“Alice… Are you okay?”

Irene, who was by her side, looked carefully at Elise.
It was because she was worried about her sister, who seemed to have a lot of troubles.

“It’s nothing special. Sister. I’ll call Lee Ho-yeon and come back.”

Ellis frowned and slipped out of her guild room.
