Chapter 590 – 590. Gates of Hell (4)

A contract was drawn up saying that the next time Victor was called, he would come right away.
The return is Lee Ho-yeon’s autograph.

After a satisfactory deal, Scarlett came home.
She was thinking of smiling and greeting the female gins she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“What’s the situation?”

But when she saw the living room, Scarlett couldn’t hide her bewilderment.
Rebecca and Nam Da-eun lay face down on her table, gasping for breath, and Liliana was unconscious as she was hugged by Lee Ho-yeon.

“S-Ms. Scarlett. It’s been a while… I’m sorry I couldn’t come out to meet you.”
“No. That’s fine. Rebecca. Please explain the situation.”
“I don’t know either. It’s just that Liliana suddenly collapsed… I thought she was acting weird as usual? But she yanked Liliana around her, and she doesn’t remember anything after that…”
“I’m the same…”

Nam Da-eun barely opened her mouth while holding Da-hee.
Because she was close to Liliana, she was slower to recover than Rebecca.

‘Did Liliana have another accident?’

Scarlett turned her head and looked at Lee Ho-yeon.
Lee Ho-yeon was holding and shaking Liliana who was lying on the floor.

“Liliana. Liliana? Come to your senses.”
“Ugh, what’s wrong. Hauhmm. Huh? What is it! When did you come?!”
“Haa… Are you out of your mind?”

Liliana opened her eyes and was surprised to see Lee Ho-yeon looking at her.
I saw the message that she is from France, but she has already arrived.
Looks like you slept too much
But it’s too much To think that Rebecca or Daeun didn’t wake me up.

“Hauuung. When did you fall asleep?”

Liliana opened her mouth wide and yawned.
Her body is groggy as if she has awakened from a deep sleep.
However, the atmosphere around it was a bit strange.

“Huh? What is it? Why is everyone looking at me?”

Awkward silence.
Liliana shrugged her shoulders when she saw everyone looking at her.
I’m used to this feeling.
A few days ago, she had a similar expression to when she ordered chicken for 15 consecutive meals.
The solution is simple. Over time, anger also dissolves.
Liliana went back to sleep.

“Um… I’m sleepy.”
“Liliana. Stay up and wake up.”
“Why, why…?”

Lee Ho-yeon woke Liliana again, who tried to pretend she was sleeping.
She seems to have no memory of Liliana.
She has already heard the circumstances of Da-eun Nam and Rebecca, so she has no intention of ending Liliana here.

It’s not her fault, she made her mistake the other day and Liliana locked herself in her room.
Hoyeon Lee also hated seeing Liliana in pain.
Lee Ho-yeon spoke as softly as possible.

“Liliana. Don’t you remember anything? It seems your infernal energies have run amok.”
“Runaway…? Uh, um…”

Liliana recalled her memories.
She obviously ate and immediately lay down to take a nap.
I think she had a dream then…

“Ah, nope… Ugh…”

Liliana grabbed her head and threw herself on the floor.
Her strange memories and headaches seemed to haunt Liliana in her head.

“Miss Liliana?!”
“Wait a minute, Scarlett.”

Lee Ho-yeon slowly raised her mana.

‘… Is it because of the gates of hell?’

When something strange happens to Liliana, it means something is wrong with her restraint.
She said that this also happened when Lucifer poured out strong mana.

Exactly a few hours ago.
With the creation of the Gates of Hell, the connection between Earth and Hell was strengthened.
That seems to have affected Liliana’s ban.

“Open eyes. Heart.”

Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes shone with a golden light.

──『 Open eyes. Heart』 ──
▶ Unique skill

▶ Lee Ho-yeon can understand everything about mana the moment he wants.
Realize the principle of all things and surpass the level of mana.
───────

Lee Ho-yeon put his hand on Liliana’s head.
According to Albedo, the forbidden drug Liliana mentioned was a succubus secret technique used by the succubus queen herself.
Perhaps because of this, Liliana’s ban was made in a way Lee Ho-yeon could not understand.

But now it is different.

Lee Ho-yeon’s golden eyes stared at Liliana’s gold medal.
Lee Ho-yeon’s magic, which had stepped into the realm of the gods, was able to see through the succubus queen’s forbidden spells.

As expected, Liliana’s restraints were loosened a little.
Probably because of the gates of hell. This is what caused Liliana’s runaway.

‘I think I can touch it…’

Lee Ho-yeon looked at the gold and pondered.
The forbidden was one of the sealing arts.
Inverse calculation is Lee Ho-yeon’s specialty.
If you want to, you can release it, but the aftermath is transmitted to Liliana as it is.

‘Restriction on memory is dangerous.’

Memory is not a simple thing.
In particular, Liliana was not at the level of simply recalling the past.
Because her personality seems to have been dirtier in hell.
Liliana, whom Lee Ho-yeon knew, might disappear if the ban was recklessly lifted.

“Ah, ah… Uh, uh…”
“Be patient, Liliana.”

The pain inflicted on Liliana intensifies.
Now we have no choice but to close the ban.

Lee Ho-yeon manipulated the magic of hell and filled the forbidden gap in Liliana’s head.
It was only a temporary measure, but for now, Liliana’s pain had to be eliminated.
Other measures should be considered slowly.

“Okay. Now… Huh?!”

The moment Liliana’s restraint was covered with magical power.
The memory of seeing it for the first time dug into Lee Ho-yeon’s mind.

– It’s inevitable. Calliope is a succubus. I was born with too much power for a succubus to have.

– … Aren’t you afraid that her daughter will pass the four-year position?

– Even you, please don’t say that. It’s an insult to a succubus who cherishes blood ties.

The voice of a beautiful, alluring woman resounds in her head.
Her miraculously long tail remained in Lee Ho-yeon’s memory.

Scenes move quickly.

The demons around me kneeling.
The creatures of hell that scare you even if you make eye contact.

It was Liliana’s point of view.
Lee Ho-yeon was taken aback by the memories that came to him, but he quickly regained his senses.

This is a magical phenomenon that occurred while closing the gap in the runaway prohibition.
Magic is not a threat to Lee Ho-yeon as long as Macheongung and Open Mind are activated.

“Ah, uh. What, what.”
“Liliana, are you okay?”

Lee Ho-yeon brushed off her memory flipping her head and looked at her Liliana’s condition.

“Ouch… My head hurts.”

Liliana opened her eyes slowly.
Her eyes were squinting, but she seemed to be in no pain.
Lee Ho-yeon let out a sigh of relief and continued with her, placing her hand on Liliana’s forehead.

“Liliana. Can you use magic?”
“Magic attribute?”
“Yeah. I’ll have to check to see if anything has changed.”

Fortunately, the ban prevented the runaway, but there may be aftereffects of the runaway that has already occurred.
Like the awakening of the magic of hell, it could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Hwaak-

Magical power rises from Liliana’s hand.
Lee Ho-yeon was also surprisingly strong.

“Is it the same?”
“Then don’t you remember anything?”
“Memory…”

Liliana stared blankly into space.
From the time she met Lucifer, her vague memories were still there.
In the meantime, her mother’s face…

“Ah…?”

Then, I felt something.
Familiar infernal magic.
An aura that stimulates sensual air and desire.

“… Mom.”

She feels her mother’s energy.
From far away

*

Time that evening.
Lee Ho-yeon sat at the table and looked at the food.
Next to him sat Dahee Nam and Liliana.

“Sister. I want to eat with you too.”
“Yeah. I’m sitting with my brother and Liliana-san.”
“I’m starving. Bob! Bob!”
“Bob! Bob!”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he watched Liliana and Nam Da-hee thump the table with spoons and chopsticks.
I was dumbfounded when I saw it every day, but it’s cute after a long time.

By the way, Lee Ho-yeon also tried to help prepare the meal, but Nam Da-eun told him to take a break because he would be tired from moving a lot, so he sat down at the table.
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Liliana’s drool while watching her meat and recalled the memory of the girl he had seen earlier.
She got better right away, but she must be worried on the inside.

‘Did the succubus queen restrain Liliana and seal her power?’

Succubus Queen. It would make sense if Liliana’s mother sealed Liliana.
But it was strange.

If she was afraid of her own daughter, she could just kill her.
If Liliana’s power was so strong that it was best to ban her, leave her deep underground.
The succubus queen did not do that. Rather, he raised Liliana himself for 15 years.

‘It’s clear what’s going on.’

Just to see for yourself if the seal is working?
Or to cover other memories over the taboo?

There are many possibilities, but Lee Ho-yeon thought that there would be a meaning he could not think of.

‘The Queen in Liliana’s memory was really her mother.’

Moreover, Lee Ho-yeon remembered what Albedo said.

– A mutant with magic that ignores the authority of the demon king has appeared… For order in Hell, the Irregular must be eliminated quickly. It was such a rumor. Apparently Liliana disappeared shortly after hearing the rumors.

A mutant with magical powers who ignore the authority of the demon king.
If it was Liliana, there was no way the Demon King would have left him alone.

Liliana.
She had many secrets yet to be revealed to her.

‘I’ll have to work hard to find the succubus queen.’

There was a lot of work to do, but Lee Ho-yeon was determined.
He was determined to be on Liliana’s side no matter what.

“Baby daddy, what are you worried about?”
“Yes? Ah. I’m sorry.”

Only then did Lee Ho-yeon check the table where the meal was ready.
Liliana and Dahee were already eating, and Rebecca and Daeun Nam, who had finished preparing, were sitting at the table looking at them.

“Hoyeonah. If you have any concerns, tell me.”
“Yeah. It’s not like that, so don’t worry. What about Scarlett?”
“Scarlett said she has a dinner date with the Korean branch manager.”
“Aha…”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled and raised the spoon.

I have no intention of continuing to hide things about Liliana.
Rebecca and Nam Da-eun suffered damage because of Liliana’s runaway, and they would also want to help Liliana with her work.

‘But it’s not something I’m going to talk about first.’

When Liliana was ready for her, she intended to have him speak directly to her.
Let’s be quiet until then.

[That darkness is a mysterious phenomenon in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The sea, which seems to be infected with darkness, is hardening like the ground and forming a new island…]

A report about the gates of hell coming out on the news just in time.
Lee Ho-yeon clapped her hands to change the subject and spoke to Rebecca.

“Right. I had something to tell Rebecca.”
“Huh? To me?”

A black pillar spread all over the world.
It was too much to break alone.
