Chapter 633 – 633. Demons

A week has passed since Lee Ho-yeon held a press conference for the whole world.

Even after a week, the gates of hell in the Pacific Ocean were still there, and the monsters of hell attacking humans were still the same, but the response of the attacked humans has changed significantly.

Lee Ho-yeon’s ‘Monster Strategy Book’ was a new wind.
Thanks to the strategy book, which contains detailed descriptions of all the monsters, the number of casualties in the course of subjugating the monsters of hell has decreased noticeably, and of course, the damage to civilians has also been greatly reduced.

It’s not just a strategy book.
The magic tool ‘Infernal Magic Injector’ has become a must-have for all hunters.
The S-class hunters learned the magic of hell to break the black pillar, and the lower hunters could more easily block the attacks of the monsters by absorbing the magic of hell into their bodies.

Lee Ho-yeon changed the world.

Kwaaaaang-!

West Coast of the United States.
The one-eyed giant with an ice spear stuck in his head stumbled and fell to the shore.
Even the monster, which was feared, became easier to hunt after it became known that the top of the head was a weakness.

“At this level, I don’t even need support. Hehe.”

“Ross. It’s not over yet.

Stephen stared straight ahead, reprimanding his fellow Hunter.
But even he who said this did not imagine that he would lose the battle.

There are five monsters of hell left on the shore. And 5 mines.
Being conscious of the demons with the monster, I called for support, but the demons were not as strong in combat as I thought.
We can subdue them with enough power here.

“Okay. Let’s finish it quickly, then drink… Huh? Wait a minute, what is that?”

Ross, who smiled as he turned his shoulders around, frowned at him.
It was because darkness was blooming among the demons behind the monster.

“That’s…”

Stephen felt familiar in the ominous darkness.
Because he was also using the magic injector of hell, he knew the identity of the darkness right away.

“Hell’s magic…?”

He had experienced the magical power of hell emitted by monsters many times, but it was the first time he had experienced such thick magic of hell.
The magic I felt was stronger than when I accidentally approached the black pillar.

“Damn it! Attack quickly before you do anything weird!”

Ross shouted as he drew his knife.
It has been a long time since the combat power of monsters and demons was grasped through previous battles.
It’s enough to subdue it before it does something strange.

But at that moment.

An arm came out of the magic of hell created by the demons.
The bony arm, which seemed to have only bones left, moved back and forth as if looking for something to hold on to, and then grabbed the head of a nearby demon.

The demon pressed Majin’s head and slowly pulled her body out of the mass of darkness.
A demon with thin limbs like a water strider crawled out slowly.

At first glance, the bizarre sight gave goosebumps to the Hunters’ bodies.

“U-what is that? A new monster?”

“Support. Asking for support…”

The time when the hunters couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
The demon let go of his long arm.

Quasac-

With one hand movement whose meaning was unknown, the remaining monsters and demons were cut in two.
The demon moved its thin legs and bit the devil’s neck.

Chow. Chow.

The unpleasant sound of blood bursting and flesh being eaten.

“…”

Hunters swallowed their saliva.
I was speechless in an incomprehensible situation.

My heart beats fast and my whole body sends a signal to run away.
The monster in front of them is an enemy they cannot face.
As soon as the Hunters grasped the situation, they slowly backed away.

I’m going to have a good time… Mess, bites…

However, the devil soon turned his head and looked at the hunters.
Finding a new prey, the demon raised his body and moved toward the human.

Deed deed deed. Cad de deuk…

It sounds like the cogwheels of an old mechanism being forced to turn.
I heard a sound that shouldn’t come from living things.

“Do, run. Run… Run away!”

Push-

Ross’s body, which moved first, drooped.
As he fled, a large hole was pierced in his boat.

“Ah…”

Kwadeuk-

Ailee’s head, which was weak in his knees from the shock, exploded as if it had been hit by a hammer.
To the monster in front of them, they were like flying flies.

“…”

The overwhelming sense of helplessness that nothing can be done.
Just the approach of that guy made every cell in his body feel fear.

I know I’ll die if I stay still, but my feet don’t move.
In fear beyond cognition, the limbs ignored the commands of the brain.

“Ah…”

Knocked-. Far away…

Looking at the unidentified creature walking slowly.
Stephen waited for his own death.

*

Thud-!

The belly of the last Minotaur was torn apart and fell to the ground.
The corpses of more than 30 monsters were strewn about the shore.
No matter how easy monster hunting became, hundreds of hunters had to rush at over 30 monsters.

However, this spectacle was the achievement of only one person.

“Wow. That must be Lee Ho-yeon. I thought I was good at catching monsters in Hell…”

“They say there is a sky above the sky. Is that what they mean?”

“…Heaven, Nabal, and that man are scarier than the monster.”

American hunters swallowed their saliva while watching Lee Ho-yeon hunting the monsters of hell.
I came because the head of the Hunter Association was sending reliable reinforcements, so I didn’t expect it to be this much.

They were just watching, but they took 5 times the unit quota by themselves.
The only thing left on the shore is a messy mass of flesh and bloodstains.
It took less than 10 minutes, so it was absurd from the Hunters’ point of view, so it was futile.

‘Clean.’

Contrary to their impressions, Lee Ho-yeon did not care about the Hunters.

I liked that kind of comment at first, but after listening to it for a week, I feel a bit bitten by it.
When I brushed off the sand on my body and approached the hunters, the unit commander hesitated and spoke to me.

“Lee, Ho-yeon Lee. You’ve worked hard.”

“Where next?”

“Yes?”

“Another area requesting assistance.”

“Ah, it’s Area C. There have been reports of demons appearing there as well, so we requested support.”

“Okay. I’ll go there.”

Lee Ho-yeon lowered his head slightly and headed for area C, capturing his mana.
I could hear the hunters greeting me from behind, but that wasn’t the point.

‘… It’s not enough.’

Over the past few days, we have worked hard to stabilize each country by catching monsters.
As Lee Ho-yeon thought, if there were no black pillars, monsters would not pose a threat to humans.
After the press conference, most of the brainwashed humans were caught, and the monster problem was solved, so the world was stabilizing faster than expected.

The problem is that the monster is too easy for Lee Ho-yeon to deal with.
Monsters like that don’t get stronger no matter how much you catch them.

“… I thought it was Area C.”

Once you’ve done your job, you have to finish it.
However, I plan to help hunt the monster until today and start researching magic with Professor Im Sol in the US tomorrow.
Because it seemed like it would be faster that way.

“But isn’t this area C?”

As I walked while thinking about other things, I arrived at Area C.
Strangely, however, no sound could be heard from Area C.

“…”

There can be no casualties on the battlefield.
Maybe the Hunters were annihilated.

However, if that’s the case, you should at least hear the voices of the monsters who killed Hunter.

Why can’t I hear anything?
Lee Ho-yeon increased his walking speed with unknown anxiety.

– Chick. Geek…

Just then, an unpleasant sound came through the shady air.
Just hearing the unpleasant noise and the eerie smell of blood.

Ho-yeon Lee finally found the devil sitting on the beach.

Its body was as thin and long as a water strider, and the spines on its limbs scraped and made a squeaking sound whenever it moved.
He was swallowing an unidentified bone without even realizing that his mouth was red.

It was a familiar appearance to Lee Ho-yeon.

“… Karcus.”

A demon that appears for the first time in the original story.
Karcus.

Because of his eerie appearance, he’s the kind of guy you’ll remember even if you don’t want to remember him.
While other demons have intelligence and take stock of the situation slowly, Karkus is more inclined to rely on his instincts.
That’s why he reveals himself first.

Intercepting device-

When his name was called, Karkus turned his head to look this way.
Karkus, who was searching for Lee Ho-yeon with his pointed head tilted back and forth, threw the bone he was eating.
It came to the conclusion that the human in front of his eyes was his prey.

– Person… Liver… If you are strong… Delicious…

“You’re fucking. You wormy bastard.”

Lee Ho-yeon raised the magic inside her body.
In fact, he had expected it from the time the Succubus Queen appeared.

Before the demon king descends, demons search the earth.

“Should I say I’m lucky? Tsk.”

Lee Ho-yeon listened to the information on the site every day and jumped on his own feet, but so far no demons have been found.
In other words, he was the first demon to appear on Earth.

Lee Ho-yeon glanced around.
Torn clothes and smashed Hunter Association badges.

The hunters in charge of area C seem to have been beaten by that guy.

Although there were victims, it was luck that Lee Ho-yeon met Karcus.
I couldn’t imagine how many victims there would have been if I had missed him here.

Pounding. Pounding.

My heart beats fast for the first time in a long time since the battle with Lucifer.
[Combat Sense] Was waking up in preparation for the upcoming battle.
My senses, which became acutely sensitive, caught the slightest sound, and my head went cold.

“Open eyes. Shim.”

Karkus was still looking at himself with his head tilted.

Devil.
The apex predator of the hell ecosystem.

Entrusting themselves to their instincts, they were arrogant because they were the strongest.
That’s why I didn’t attack until Lee Ho-yeon took the attack posture.
From Lee Ho-yeon’s point of view, he was a very grateful person.

“Blood Beat.”

The blood inside the body circulates rapidly through the body.
The mana circuit expands and strong magical energy wraps around the body.
It was only then that Karkus felt a change in momentum and began to move his body.

“Deployment of Macheon Palace.”

Hwaaak-

But now it’s too late.
Lee Ho-yeon glared at the demon in front of him with golden eyes.

– Human… Delicious… Strong man… No, devil… ?

Karkus rocked his body back and forth as if he was embarrassed by the sudden strength.
Even without the skull in his hand, he would have been a little cute.

“Arc Conjuration.”

Hell’s magic bloomed from Lee Ho-yeon’s body, and three magic spheres floated above his head.
I did all the doping, but my heart is still pounding.

It means that the devil in front of you is strong.

“I just needed a sample.”

There is no way to attack the devil.
That’s why I can’t make a strategy book, but if I hunt one, it will be of great help to mankind.

Food.

Lee Ho-yeon raised the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
The elation he felt after a long time excited him.

Sample?

Okay. Any help would be helpful.
But he wasn’t important to him.

What is important to Lee Ho-yeon is the existence of Karcus itself.
He needed to fight a strong man who threatened his life.

By fighting, you have to overcome your limits and become stronger.

Feeling the full sense of battle throughout his body, Lee Ho-yeon started a battle with the demon.
