Archduke’s Laboratory.
Lethe remained in an awkward silence and looked around carefully.
No traces could be found.
“Mercede, it’s been a while. How are you?”
Mercedes bent her knees, hiding the tension that made her heart feel like it was about to explode.
“Hello, boss.” It was an unusual start in that he greeted her rather than the Archduke.
“The Archduke.”
Lethe’s eyes became cold again.
“What is the reason?”
“If you keep going back and forth like that, I won’t be able to understand what you’re talking about.”
“Why are you helping Yahweh?” They would have taken it away if they wanted to, but a more embarrassing situation than the present was not to their liking.
Lethe said.
“There is an error in the purification system. Some human broke the chains of Gehenna. “I wanted the Archduke to take a look, so I sent my chief secretary, but it got leaked somewhere else, so I came here myself.”
Magritte stroked his beard.
‘So that’s what happened. If Monoras had come first, I would have naturally sided with the fire company.’
It’s not like it’s first come first served.
‘The concept of coincidence is nothing more than human logic. ‘This current situation is only the result of a cause that began more than 500 million, no, 1 billion years ago.’
Originally, the Archduke had two options.
‘Maintaining hell by following Lethe’s will and turning the tide of war by following Satan’s will.’
Sirone was the first to arrive.
‘It was of course Lethe’s fault that the chains of Gehenna were broken. But for Satan it is an opportunity.’
If you can purify the karma of Jin Seong-eum, it means that the psychic realm will be opened again.
“Lette.”
Magritte chose war.
“The breaking of the karmic chain means that the human will has denied hell. This is a problem of implementation, not solution. An era is coming to an end. “Can’t we just watch and let Satan carry it out?”
If we assume that the premise that has not yet been revealed is true, the Archduke’s words make sense.
“Since when did hell begin to accept Yahweh? No, why are they O…”
Are they obsessed with Yahweh?
“There were people who didn’t end up hating fraternity even if they didn’t go as far as Lucifer or Behemoth. The Archduke is like that too. “It’s something I can’t understand at all.”
“Because they are not demons.”
Lethe was the manager.
“When I was first born in hell, I was an intelligent species and a demon with the highest abilities. “I fought, conquered, and studied without anything the world would envy.”
Magritte recalled that time.
“I thought it was a cool place. A world where those who prove their strength dominate everything. “For me, philanthropy was an illogical and even violent concept.”
Lethe was listening silently.
“Then why the hate? Because we are the illegitimate children of fraternity. It’s a systemic aspect. “Is this a fate that arises based on the priority of processing, which requires human emotions to exist before a demon is born?” As she entered the manager’s area, Lethe’s eyes became as indifferent as a machine.
“It’s okay up to that point. The problem is that Yahweh denies it. He is a reversal of the process. Terrorists of the system. “I am shocked by the shamelessness of the person who, to put it in layman’s terms, claims that he did not do anything wrong by saying that he did not throw it away after cleaning it up.”
Marguerite smiled bitterly.
“Even if they can’t analyze it like the intelligent species, demons have that feeling since they were born. But sometimes there are cases of repentance. Why would that be?”
Lethe had no answer.
“It’s because he is a bloodthirsty person. The boldness of speaking without an iota of remorse is so disgusting and hateful and makes me want to tear myself to pieces… but it’s
also so shameless.
“I really think so.” “Couldn’t Yahweh have done nothing wrong? Aren’t we misunderstanding? If they haven’t abandoned us, the demons will someday…
Magritte pointed to the ceiling.
“Couldn’t we reach the true world by regurgitating the processes of this system?”
It is called ‘salvation’ with feelings of disgust.
Oris was embarrassed.
‘That kid killed the intruder? He was a deserter who ran away from the battlefield out of fear.’
Ishaq introduced.
“This person’s name is Euphie. “He is of royal lineage who inherited the spirit of Satan.”
The 7th general’s expression changed suddenly.
Royal was a lineage that could rise to the rank of commander of the Army of Hell or duke.
Ithaca looked back at Oris.
“Do you know each other?”
“huh? Oh, so??????
Sirone was quick to respond.
“I got help a little while ago. “He showed me the path to becoming a true demon when I ran away because I had no courage.”
“No, whatever. “It’s not to that extent.” As Oris scratched the bridge of his nose with his cat’s claws, Monom raised his single eye.
“So what do you want to tell us? “Are you asking for a reward for killing an intruder
?”
Ishaq bowed his head.
“I would like to recommend Yuffie as the leader of the special task force. Please lead us.”
“dog sound!”
Monom smashed the table.
“Crosade was the strongest warrior. Do you think that incompetent guy can take his place?”
“Mr. Moonom.”
Ishaq opened his eyes.
“It’s okay for you to treat me poorly. However, please speak carefully to Yuffie.”
Even though I had to say this as a member of the demon race, Monom still felt bad.
“joy! That’s also true when you become a captain. “Are you saying that Yuffie is as strong as the 7th general?” Ishaq kept his mouth shut.
If he was of royal blood, he would eventually rise to the top, but compared to the 7 generals, he had very little experience.
“I think the same.”
Ithaca said with a clasped posture.
“I admit that Yuppi has achieved the desired results, but it is an illusion that he has not achieved anything. “There is only one substance.”
‘what?’
Sirone looked back as if he was surprised.
‘Executioner Ithaca.’
It was also proven by what I said a little while ago that he was the only one of the 7 generals of royal bloodline.
‘It was defined as an illusion, not an alter ego. It means that the precision of the search matches my senses.’
Of course, this is limited to the senses.
“Do it like this. Currently, illusions are spreading in the city. One of them is real. “I will propose a military medal to the person who kills him first.”
Ithaca looked back at Shirone.
“And if Yuffie catches the real deal,
I’ll recommend him the rank of captain in addition to the military medal.”
“Kuk, that’s okay.”
Monom gladly accepted.
“It’s good, kid. “If they had fought us directly, they would have had no chance of winning, but luck also plays a role.”
Ithaca still had a cold voice.
“Competition is good, but do it in moderation. If it interferes with the performance of your duties, you will be disciplined. If necessary, consider ways for the four of us to cooperate.”
“Six, I guess.”
The seven generals closed their mouths at the same time.
“I think there are two more people out there in the dark. “It has a very quiet vibe.”
As soon as Sirone finished speaking, a voice was heard from behind Ithaca.
“He’s a pretty tactful guy.”
It may have been one of the night watch captains and a hundred of them, but they still hadn’t shown themselves.
“But we’re out of bets. Don’t worry too much. “If you feel like you’re going to die, I’ll help you.”
The presence disappeared.
“Is this the first time in a while that everyone has mobilized? Since there is no Crossade, the military medal will probably be mine.”
Monom prepared to go, but Sirone was the first to leave the barracks.
“Let’s go Ishaq.”
The 7th general had a blank expression, and so did Ishaq, who followed Shirone.
‘The atmosphere is a little different than before.’
Compared to when I was stigmatized as a deserter, I felt a stronger will than anyone else.
‘Well, since you are of royal blood, it is only natural that your blood boils in competition.’
Although the interpretation was wrong, Sirone was actually taking this incident seriously.
‘I have to find Son Yu-jeong.’ The power of the 7th General, which I felt directly, was by no means weak, but it was still unstoppable.
‘If it’s Son Yu-jeong, it won’t take more than three days to destroy Raviet.’
Magritte’s plans also face a setback.
“I will pass on the fake and look for the real one. “We probably won’t be able to catch up, so gather your troops.”
Before he could hear the answer, Sirone’s body turned into a flash of light and flew into the sky.
“Royal…
Ishaq trembled with emotion.
As the Seven Generals were deployed in earnest, the number of Son Yu-jeong’s self-immolations began to rapidly decrease.
“Hahaha! what? “It’s nothing!”
Moo’s body, which continued to evolve biologically, was gradually becoming more and more bizarre.
“Hmph!”
As thorns spewed out from his entire body, Son Yu-jeong’s clones within a 30-meter radius were pierced.
“Kiik! Kick!”
The clones, who were fumbling their thorns and making loud noises, turned into light after a while
.
“Tsk! “Is everything wrong?”
Monom’s face distorted.
‘Even if it’s fake, it’s too weak. ‘Crossade really got bullied by this guy?’
There was no special camaraderie between the demons, but they recognized and respected each other.
“I can’t forgive you.”
Just as the lipless teeth were grinding apart, a loud noise erupted from the other side of the building.
When he sensed an abnormal shock and turned around, the seven-story building was collapsing.
“Is it there?”
“Haaaaa!”
Oris dug his nails into the ground and let out a threatening sound with his bleeding face.
In her eyes, she saw Son Yu-jeong, burning with golden light, slowly walking towards her.
‘It’s really strong.’
All of his combat abilities were of the highest level, so much so that it was difficult to say which one was stronger.
Richera burst into laughter.
“Fuhahaha! Those damn evil demons. Son Yu-jeong! “Hurry up and cut off the limbs.” Oris remained silent despite the mockery of a mere human.
‘I’ve seen you taking that person with you. It’s on a different level from a fake. If we leave it like this, the city will be destroyed.’
Oris, determined to die with his enemy, threw back his butt and all his hair stood on end.
“huh?”
The moment Son Yu-jeong tilted her head, black shadows rushed in at frightening speed.
“Kiyaaaaaaaa!”
The time the body reached was before the person’s eyelids were even half closed.
“Slow.”
Son Yu-jeong had already turned around and was swinging her sword at the back of Oris’ head.
‘I’m angry.’
It was the moment when she lost the will to fight, resigned to everything, and lost all strength in her body.
“huh?”
The afterimage of a red demon was reflected in the cat’s eyes.
Sirone, who pushed Oris away without even having time to respond, lunged at Son Yu-jeong.
‘If this thing were the main body…
the teeth wouldn’t even go in with normal power.
‘It hits directly at Hwashin.’
The Miracle Stream was compressed into a photon cannon and struck Son Yu-jeong squarely in the abdomen.
“Huh!”
Shocked by an irresistible force, she let out a loud scream and flew as far as the eye could see.
Oris, who had been watching the scene while lying against the wall, slowly turned his head.
“??????Euppie?”
The young demon held out his hand.
” are you okay?”
