Episode 95. Misunderstanding ends there
‘No matter how good you are, in the end you’re just a human.’
Akampattam, the devil of the true name, swallowed a smile.
I knew very well what a great person Karimzeba was.
Was it a fire dragon?
Well, even if I put aside my reputation on the Arcana continent for a while.
The mana flowing through his body was truly extraordinary.
‘I’m afraid I’ll get burned if I make fun of it rashly.’
However, this was not the Arcana continent.
A world completely different from the Arcana continent.
I know more about this world than Karimzeba.
“You are right. I was careless.”
At least I couldn’t bend my head.
“is it so. I was too talkative. We have to help each other.”
Of course, you don’t have to fight a monster like that.
Acampatham generously accepted the apology.
And sat down on the sofa.
‘Let’s do some calculations.’
Whoa—
I lit a candle and rolled my head.
Heir to a chaebol family.
Although he occupied a body that was nothing special when looking at his status apart.
Still, it wasn’t as bad as the head that weighs one profit or loss.
Why do you see it even now?
Are you putting your own pleasure ahead of other people’s lives?
‘Rather, it can be said that he has a more vicious side than me.’
That head was telling me.
‘This isn’t a proposition that appeals to me at all.’
Top Demon King?
Even if the resurrection is successful.
Because there was nothing that would benefit you.
Rather, you will see the loss.
‘Because all the evil energy will be directed towards the Demon Lord.’
Even though I’m insignificant, I’m content with my current life.
Chijijijik—!
In a word, it’s a situation where you can’t even step on shit.
I had no choice but to put the strength in my hand to put out the cigarette.
“We need news from the Magic Tower. It’s not difficult. This world is also very convenient. You don’t have to go to magic, and you can get the information you want with just a few snaps of your finger.”
Shuk─
Let’s take out the smartphone.
Karimzeba’s pupils shook slightly.
Like a country boy.
Acampatam laughed and smirked.
“But, as you know better than anyone else, isn’t the Mage Tower a very conservative group? Even if it’s floating information, it’s all speculation. All inaccurate brain fiction. Oh, do you know what cerebral means?”
A look that changes immediately with a single joke.
Suddenly—
the surrounding furniture began to vibrate at the shimmering magic power.
‘Is this old woman unaware?’
I mean, what kind of magic power are you radiating?
I’m sorry if I did this wrongly.
Acampatam hurriedly continued.
“But who am I? That said, there is a way to everything.”
“It’s a way. Can you tell me?”
“of course. Now we are on the same boat.”
And he
passed the contact information.
“I don’t know how ordinary demons like us, who aren’t even demon lords, will look to you. Everyone is wearing their own hair. Like me, they wear human masks and are active all over the world.”
Know.
Karimzeba nodded and immediately continued.
“Of course, what is that number? It’s more than what our Lord Karimzeba thinks. Even that ability? I don’t know about it on the Arcana continent, but it’s good enough to be usable in this world.”
“Get to the point.”
“The point is simple. Aren’t there only people from the Arcana Continent in the Mage Tower?”
Karimzeba immediately understood the meaning.
“…You’re talking about the adventurer Lee Ho-yeol.”
“answer! There is one demon that has a connection with Lee Ho-yeol on our demon side as well.”
“…!”
There is a demon that Lee Ho-yeol and Kite have come into contact with…?
Karimzeba was well aware of the demon’s own power.
It is said that Lee Ho-yeol is a lumber recognized by the chief Marcelo.
If it’s the devil’s power, regardless of his ability.
‘Like the other elders and Bangrit did.’
Because it can cloud that judgement.
‘I’m sure I’ll be able to obtain information about the Mage Tower.’
No, what if you go beyond that and use Lee Ho-yeol?
Wouldn’t it be possible to get more results than that?
Acampatam smiled and continued.
“Looking at your expression, you guessed it. It’s not easy, though, is it? Even from the point of view of the Arcana Continent. And even from the perspective of this world. Lee Ho-yeol’s son is not normal.”
It’s like
a chaebol family’s personal connections.
The endless scrolling finally stopped.
“But there is one guy who made it in the end.”
“You sound like it’s possible.”
“Well, it’s for the Demon King, so of course you won’t cooperate?”
Acampatam deliberately twisted the end.
no matter how you roll your head
Again, it didn’t appeal to me in the slightest.
‘Damn it, I can’t take my hands off it.’
Of course, it is impossible to refuse.
‘Is there anything that will turn into ashes?’
In a word, if you don’t want to die, you have no choice but to do it.
Besides, it’s a demon.
He knew very well how the other demons would react.
‘I don’t know if I can get a reply on this.’
Even if the business is related to the resurrection of the demon lord.
Let alone cooperate, it would be cheap even if they were blocked.
however.
The head, who had been weighing gains and losses from earlier, came up with a method.
‘…After all, you need a sacrifice, right?’
devil worshipers.
I don’t know what their specific plans are.
It takes a huge number of sacrifices to resurrect the demon king and even the higher rank demon king.
Acampatham’s head spun meanly.
If so, the sacrifice…
‘What if I could intercept it?’
I too can seize power comparable to that of a high-ranking demon king…!
‘I might be able to use this as an excuse to attract this guy.’
The purpose is not to resurrect the Demon King.
The purpose is to intercept the sacrifices necessary for the resurrection of the demon king.
If you say that, you should be able to get information about Lee Ho-yeol.
‘Of course I have to hit the back of the head.’
It must be easier than surviving now.
It is either to die or to live.
At that point, the calculation is over.
“But I also have one condition.”
Now all you have to do is cleverly cheat the bill.
“As a position in the same boat. You think you need to tell me exactly what the plan is?”
I could tell without even looking at the planting.
Because the fluctuating mana took the place of an uncomfortable expression.
However, Acampatam did not give up.
“I just don’t want to fail. Our great Karimzeba, one failure won’t be a problem. A weak demon like me is in a different situation.”
Karimzeba, who was silent, nodded.
“Do that.”
Of course, Acamphatam wasn’t satisfied with that.
Even if you know the plan.
Because even interception requires preparation.
“Also, I ask that you please remain quiet while I proceed with the plan.”
“…?”
“I know it’s a presumptuous request, but. Even now, isn’t Karimzeba’s mana so unremarkable? Leave it to the experts, demons like us, to carry out the secret plans.”
Why can you talk like this?
It was simple.
Karimzeba is still wondering how this society works.
because I didn’t know
‘Right now, it’s not a fire dragon, it’s just a frog that just got out of the well.’
Swoop—
as expected, Karimzeba rose from her seat.
Then he quietly opened his mouth.
“Wait for news about Lee Ho-yeol.”
That means accepting the offer.
Acampatam answered with black pupils shining.
“of course. I will tell you the good news.”
Teleport.
Soon after, Karimzeba disappeared from her hotel room.
Acampata did not hesitate.
He raised his brow furiously.
“The asshole was properly caught.”
I sent a message right away.
As long as the big fish caught.
Because I had to catch it quickly.
*
Belongs to Shinhwa Group.
Myth Guild.
Guild Master Baek Yi-seol listened to the briefing.
“The Shinhwa Guild’s domestic brand preference increased by 4.8 percentage points compared to last month. For the first time since the founding of the guild, it recorded an upward trend for two consecutive months…”
Once lost, trust is difficult to regain.
Such was the case with the Shinhwa Guild, which was well known for its actions in the past.
However, as you can see from the graph, the Shinhwa Guild’s image was rebounding.
“The owner’s attitude has changed for that reason…”
Everything is Yusura Kingdom.
Yes, it was because of the heat.
Looking at the data screen, I felt new.
‘At first, really…’
I felt like eating mustard while crying.
The condition Ho-yeol suggested is really true.
From the perspective of the Shinhwa Guild, it was no different from saying to dig up the soil and do business.
Of course, I owed a lot to Ho-yeol.
Baek Yi-seol boldly signed the contract.
The result was now.
“Myth Guild. And it was a bold investment at the Shinhwa Group level, but rather, it seems that the bold investment drew public repercussions.”
I never thought the Lee Ho-yeol effect would be this big.
It was a result that I did not even expect when deciding to invest.
The Shinhwa Guild is money, bribery, and personal connections.
Because I was getting back the trust I couldn’t buy.
After all the briefings, Baek Yi-seol opened his mouth.
“Now I can go somewhere and not hear that Shinhwa is buried, right?”
“Oh, that’s how it should be.”
“Honestly, it’s not enough yet. I will try harder.”
Nice to come and go.
A small burst of laughter.
A relaxed atmosphere in the conference room.
It clearly showed the changed appearance of the Shinhwa Guild.
Click—
Baek Yi-seol returned to his office.
Today’s newspaper on the desk.
On the first page, as expected, Ho-yeol’s face was printed.
– The appearance of the world tree… How far does Lee Ho-yeol know?
-AAU side “We are embarrassed too. I want to talk to Lee Ho-yeol…”
-Gaon Inazuma Berserker… Will the strongest guild union be born?
A hand that naturally goes to the newspaper.
“hmm.”
Baek Yi-seol stared at the newspaper.
No, to be precise, I was looking at the picture of Ho-yeol’s knight.
With a more serious expression than at the meeting.
“How come you don’t have a picture of humiliation?”
An automatic search term that can be completed just by entering ‘Baek Yi-seol’ on the portal site.
[Baek Yi-seol’s humiliation]
“Be perfect.”
The picture of himself persecuting the front door has been floating on the Internet forever.
Of course, there was a dark history that was more disgraceful than that.
Rumors of infidelity spread throughout the entertainment world and politics.
Furthermore, it is a femme fatale.
Now even the clothes that are dizzying to see through the gap between the covered hands.
“…Of course, I’ll have to thank you for the rest of my life when I think of that situation.”
Yes stuffed humiliation photos or whatever.
To Baek Yi-seol, Ho-yeol was like a benefactor.
If it wasn’t for Ho-yeol, he would still be like that…!
“Just imagining it is terrifying, seriously.”
Oh so so.
Baek Yi-seol stroked the forearm where the chicken meat had sprouted.
Then I looked at Ho-yeol’s picture again.
“…”
Silver hair.
a lofty gaze.
Expressionless as always.
Is it because the expression is the same?
There are no flaws at any angle from above or below.
But Baek Yi-seol knew.
“Still, the picture can’t keep up with the real thing.”
A neat blouse and skirt.
Even a serious expression staring at the newspaper.
Baek Yi-seol, who looks like a CEO who understands the trend of the times.
“Photos cannot express its elegance and formality.”
Isn’t it just saying homenhomen?
That she was also a believer in Hoyeolgyo.
Who can guess?
Bai Yi-seol seemed to be carrying out an important task.
This means that no one can get in your way if you are aware.
Giying—
but without even noticing.
Baek Yi-seol’s smartphone vibrated.
I checked and it was a message.
When Baek Yi-seol confirmed the sender, he was startled.
“Janghyun too…?”
Jang Hyeon-do, the successor of the Jangseon Group.
Because he is a person from the same business world as himself.
It’s only natural that you know the name.
“well.”
I had no personal contact with him.
It’s that simple.
A time when memories are hazy.
It must have been a bond built at the time of being possessed by the demonic succubus.
‘I already have a headache.’
I had a lot of trouble because of that follow-up.
As the succubus disappears, the effect of the dark state abnormality.
Even though their memories are gone.
Evidence was left behind by the victims.
It means that the message you shared, including your contact information, remained.
“I’m already thinking about what else to say…”
I saw you in a dream.
I guess we are related.
Did we have a relationship like that?
Was it a succubus even if he became possessed?
Bai Yi-seol sighed and checked the message.
Soon, Baek Yi-seol’s face quickly hardened.
– Succubus. Offer tempting suggestions. It’s something related to the devil.
“…a succubus?”
Jang Hyeon-do was calling himself a succubus.
What he meant was simple.
Jang Hyeon-do is not a victim of a succubus.
Jang Hyeon-do is a demon or possessed by a demon like himself in the past.
If that’s not enough, it’s something related to the demon king…?
Baek Yi-seol calmed his surprised heart.
“Demon King. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
One thing was certain.
That Jang Hyeon-do has some kind of plan. Even the fact
that the plan involved the demon king and that it
was a plan so big that it had to attract other demons.
However, even Janghyeon was lacking in one thing.
notice
Baek Yi-seol did not hesitate.
No, rather like waiting.
Call Ho-yeol right away…
“…Ah.”
I hung up and left a message first.
Yes, no matter how urgent it is.
Because you have to keep your manners.

Jang Hyeon-do, the successor of Jangseon Group.
and the demon king.
Two words were enough to convince me.
‘found.’
devil worshipers and demons.
Did you also roll your own head?
Thinking of borrowing the power of chaebol?
At least you know exactly how the Republic of Korea is rolling.
But no matter how quickly you adapt to this world.
‘Can you know better than me who was born in this country?’
I don’t know if it’s the Arcana continent.
In reality, there is jjambab that I ate too.
“I will open the portal to the coordinates right away.”
Marcelo said sternly.
I know how you feel, but you don’t have to.
The reason why the devil took over Jang Hyeon-do’s body was simple.
‘That’s what I believe in.’
There was nothing to go far.
Was it Baek Yi-seol and Maeda?
Because the demon that possessed the Japanese politician was the same.
‘The fence called society will protect me.’
Be it a player or an arcana.
He was wearing the mask of Jang Hyeon-do.
Touching himself wielding the power of Jang Hyun-do?
It is knowing that it is a burden for everyone and using it.
“There’s no need to tell the outside about what’s inside.”
Besides, this was the situation inside the Mage Tower.
It is also an internal situation related to the contradiction of the Magic Tower.
There’s nothing good about being known to the world.
‘If it was like before, it would have been a bit of a headache.’
He might have whined that the devil was getting more and more cunning.
however.
‘It’s not that difficult for me now.’
It was.
In a place where there are simply no fences.
It was just a matter of bringing Jang Hyeon-do with him.
Gooooo—
I raised my mana.
Like Marcelo, who was chasing Banglade Tom, he explored the area.
Of course, with my meager magical power, it is not enough to search the entire earth like Marcelo. However, it is possible enough if the scope is limited to Seoul.
‘Because I’m sure Jang Hyeon-do is in Seoul.’
Interference and expression are also not very special.
It’s grandiose to think of taking him away.
passage to and from.
Just think of it as manifesting a portal.
To put it simply, it means that Jang Hyeon-do creates a portal under his feet.
So like this.
“Ughhhh! fuck. It’s a surprise. what what?!”
I looked at Jang Hyeon-do, who was rolling on the floor.
[The skill ‘Natural Relations’ is activated.]
Yes, this is the Magic Tower.
Among them, Topaz Hall.
Independent interviews are held prior to regular conferences.
An extremely closed place even in the Magic Tower.
eyes to see.
CCTV too.
There is no such thing as a chaebol family.
There is no place more suitable for interrogation.
“Let the interrogation begin, Marcelo.”
“Poetry interrogation! What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?!”
“Would you mind not asking directly?”
I answered Marcelo’s question with a proud voice.
“I do not mix horses with prey.”
