Episode 222
Whoa!
The demon’s fist created a large hole in the dark demon lord’s chest.
It was a fatal wound that could never be recovered.
“Kahahah…!”
After letting out a single scream, the dark demon king collapsed like a rotten piece of wood.
He was so frustrated that he died without even being able to close his eyes.
“Hmph. It’s weak.”
The demon muttered as if he hadn’t felt the slightest stimulation from the fight just now.
“As expected, your desire to win is still the same.”
As for when he appeared, Ibrahim told the horse with a smile on his face.
“If you know that, then hurry up and guide me to a place where a worthy partner is located.”
“Haha, don’t be impatient. We will meet each other over time.”
Ibrahim seemed to be in a good mood.
As the person who made the plan, you can’t help but feel good if everything goes according to plan.
And ‘Fog of the Abyss’, a special skill that only he could use, played a big role in that.
The abyssal fog is not magic, but if I were to compare it, it could be said to be an illusionary magic circle that can be spread over a wide area.
Outside of the fog of the abyss, nothing seems to be wrong, but inside, it is isolated in a cloudy state with a lot of fog.
Only those blessed with ‘Great Sage’s Gaze’, another skill of Ibrahim, were able to maintain clear vision.
Therefore, it was possible to carry out a sneak attack even during the day.
Based on these powerful skills, the American awakeners were rapidly taking down the Devil’s castle one by one.
It was a very smooth move.
“Then let’s go to the next castle.”
Ibrahim smiled.
◈ ◈ ◈
Sihyeon always went to the prison castle on the weekends.
It was now a routine routine.
Since I did not have two bodies, I was able to focus on my work as the head of the security department on weekdays and as the head of the castle on the weekends.
Sihyeon parked the car at the bottom of the mountain and walked up the mountain as usual.
The heat was at its peak, so the mountains were lush and green.
I walked slowly on purpose.
Because I didn’t like sweating.
Still, as I walked while thinking about various things, I found myself in front of the prison gate.
A scene no different from usual unfolded before my eyes.
I tried to think like that.
However, soon a blatantly strange being came into view.
‘person?’
Sihyeon looked at the being with a puzzled look.
There was a person in front of the gate.
It was a girl.
Although he wasn’t wearing a school uniform, he looked like a high school student.
What stood out most of all was the hair color. Her hair was pure white, as if she were sick.
Sihyeon tilted his head and approached the girl.
Since she didn’t hide her presence, she must have noticed her approaching, but the girl was standing there staring at the gate.
‘How did you get in?’
Sihyeon made a questioning face.
This place was basically strictly controlled, so the general public could not access it.
In addition, Sihyeon asked Hyris to install one more device in preparation for the awakened person.
It was an alarm spell.
If anyone other than yourself approached the prison castle, an alert would be sent immediately.
However, no warning was sent today.
There was no way Hyris’ magic wouldn’t work properly.
Then how on earth did you get in?
“Student, wait a minute.”
Sihyeon called the girl.
First, we needed to have a conversation.
The girl slowly turned back.
The girl’s gaze and Sihyeon’s gaze met.
The eyes were as deep as a well and as clear as glass.
“hmm….”
The girl let out an unknown sound without saying anything.
There was no sign of panic.
She definitely didn’t seem like an ordinary girl.
“Who is the student? How did he get in here?”
Sihyeon asked.
“My name is Leila. You… must be the lord of this castle.”
Si-hyeon couldn’t help but be wary of the words of the girl who immediately recognized her identity.
“What is it?”

“People call me the silver saint.”
Sihyeon opened his eyes wide in surprise.
◈ ◈ ◈
“It’s a little shabby, but please sit comfortably.”
The vision and the saint moved to the saint’s room.
The saintess stared at the castle as if examining the prison the entire time she came to the castle lord’s room.
He didn’t open his mouth first, so I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“Even if you want something to drink….”
“are you okay.”
The saint answered briefly.
After those words, there was a moment of silence. It seemed that Sihyeon had no intention of speaking first, so she opened her mouth again.
“What brought you here…?”
“I was in a coma the whole time.”
The saint spoke with eyes that seemed to be looking into the distance.
Her words continued.
“I woke up a month ago, and I immediately felt it. That there was something here that had nothing to do with the will of God Iria. That’s why I came to see you.”
“….”
Sihyeon took a moment to organize her words in his head.
So I was able to roughly guess what the situation was.
Sihyeon asked again.
“Do you mean this prison castle?”
“Yes. And you too.”
“Me?”
Sihyeon pointed to herself with puzzled eyes.
“is it so.”
The saintess nodded slightly.
“What does that mean?”
Sihyeon asked, pulling the chair a little closer to the saint and sitting down.
“You have awakened the power of a world that should not be connected and a character that should not be connected.”
“…Do you mean Poahim?”
“That’s right. He is a living person. He is a person who cannot be connected to the original existence of this world.”
“….”
Sihyeon was lost in thought with a complicated face. I heard the explanation, but it wasn’t something I could easily understand. I understand that, except for Poahim, everyone has awakened the power of the dead.
So what is the world that Poahim is in now?
Didn’t he summon the prison castle from that world?
The more I thought about it, the more complicated my mind became.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
The fact that he awakened the power of Poahim was a very unique awakening.
“You even summoned this castle from that world.”
The saint turned her gaze to Sihyeon and said.
“Are you saying it shouldn’t have happened?”
“well.”
The saint uttered an ambiguous answer.
“No one knows right now, not even the god Iria. It’s not what he intended.”
Si-hyeon couldn’t believe his ears for a moment as he spoke words that were too profane for a saint to say.
Saying that she did not even know God was not something a saint who served God would say.
Nevertheless, the saintess’s expression was calm.
“hmm….”
Not knowing how to accept it, Sihyeon remained silent for now.
As if she had guessed his intentions, the saint continued speaking.
“His divine power has weakened a lot. It can’t be compared to before. That’s why I can’t know as much as I used to. But.”
She blinked deeply once.
“It is clear that your strength is not His will.”
“…Is that so.”
Since there was nothing to say in particular, Sihyeon answered like that.
He opened his mouth again, looking like he was thinking about something.
“Does that mean something negative?”
“no.”
The saint answered immediately.
“Like I said before, no one knows right now.”
“So you’re saying it doesn’t mean we have to do anything in particular?”
“It’s your power, so what you do with it is up to you. Just ask me one favor.”
“Yes, please say so.”
“I hope you will help us protect the land of Iria God.”
“That’s what I want too. I don’t want anything to happen to this world.”
“Thank you.”
The saint quietly folded her hands and spoke.
“But honestly, I don’t have too much information. About the movements of demons… do you know anything, saintess?”
Sihyeon asked with curious eyes.
“There is a war going on in the demon world.”
The saint turned her gaze into space and spoke with distant eyes.
“War?”
It seemed that America had finally moved.
“Who has the advantage in winning the war?”
“Humans have the advantage.”
“also.”
Sihyeon muttered.
The reason the great sage decided to make a move was probably because he was confident in his chances of victory.
“Then if it stays like this, there won’t be any problem?”
“I guess so.”
At that moment, it felt as if the saint’s voice had lost some strength.
It was when Sihyeon stared at her with questioning eyes.
thud!
The body of the saint who was sitting on the chair lost strength and fell sideways.
Sihyeon quickly got up and approached her.
I checked the heartbeat and breathing, but luckily they felt slight.
It was as if I had fallen asleep.
‘What do we do?’
Sihyeon was worried.
Because his status was so noble, I was at a loss as to what to do.
Still, I felt like I needed to lay him down in a quiet place until he woke up.
He carefully laid her on the floor and then went outside to call someone.
◈ ◈ ◈
The demons did not notice the human invasion until hundreds of castles fell and their territories burned down.
To that extent, human movements were secret and rapid.
The demons, who belatedly heard the news from the monster who barely survived and escaped, were so angry that their eyes rolled over.
The Demon World was a sacred land of demons that had never been invaded by any other race.
The land was ravaged, and hundreds of the chosen race, the demons, lost their lives.
That too for humans.
Raki, the powerful demon king of the enraged eastern land and the demon king of lightning, raised his heavy body to subdue humans by drawing on the power of the surrounding demon kings.
All demons thought that humans would soon be conquered.
Raki’s power is within five fingers of the demon world, and she has gathered the power of the surrounding demon lords as well.
So, of course, the arrogant livestock that did not even know the subject were dead.
but… .
In the battle of Elferkan Great Plains, the demons were rather defeated.
It was a terrible defeat in which Raki’s head was cut off and all the demon kings who participated were killed or taken prisoner.
The demons were greatly shocked by the incredible and unexpected power of humans.
I was so panicked that I couldn’t take further action.
Meanwhile, humans continued to capture castles and lay waste to the territory.
When nearly 40% of their territory was in ruins, the demons realized that this was a very serious situation where the life and death of their race was at stake.
For the first time in the history of the demon race, an emergency meeting was called and the demon kings of the western land gathered in a hurry.
However, the demons, who were experiencing a crisis like this for the first time, were swept up in anger and embarrassed, and could only argue, unable to easily come to any conclusion.
“Damn it. We have to gather all our strength and attack right now!”
“Are you giving up the advantage of defense and risking the fate of the demons on a single open battle? That’s reckless.”
“Just strengthening the defenses is no use. If we don’t do something about that damn fog, castle after castle will continue to fall.”
“So, the idea is to lure them in and finish it all at once.”
“Lure them out? How?”
“I… need to think about it.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“How about this?”
“What do you mean?”
“We will also send a special force to destroy their base. Then, my own guys will also be caught off guard and embarrassed.”
“That’s not allowed.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the sudden voice.
“Igni?!”
“…was he alive?!”
Igni was the representative Great Demon King of the eastern land. That’s why everyone thought he was already dead.
However, I was surprised to see that it appeared fine.
“It seemed like my land was already finished.”
Igni muttered sarcastically.
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe.”
“But… what do you mean by no?”
The demon who suggested sending a separate unit asked.
“The power we have now is not the full power of humans.”
“What?!”
“Is that true?!”
“What nonsense….”
The demons were astonished with faces of great shock.
The current human power was a power that posed a serious threat.
But that’s not everything.
A look of disbelief fell on Igni.
“I’ve been in the no-man’s land all along, so I know.”
“It was in a human land…?”
“okay.”
“….”
Igni spoke again in a cold voice.
“If you trample on human land now, your remaining power will come here. There’s nothing worse than that.”
“…Then what should we do?”
“Do you know this saying? The enemy of man is man.”
“what?”
“That’s what I want to say now.”
Igni said with meaningful eyes.
