Looking at Rugal’s reaction, I could see that he also had a negative opinion of the death squad.
In order to deal with Rugal, I had no choice but to bring out my secret weapon.
“My father was captured.”
“what?”
When I saw Rugal reacting immediately, my complexion hardened and I spoke.
“Please lend me your strength.”
I don’t know what kind of relationship they had, but I knew that my father and Rugal, the former representative of the beast people, were close.
Although it hasn’t been long since I saw him, I was able to understand Rugal’s personality at a glance.
Appealing to affection like this wasn’t my style, but I thought it would work best for Rugal.
“… … Let’s hear the story. “Do you have any plans?”
My eyes sparkled at those words.
The fact that a negotiating table was set up meant that there was at least some intention to help.
“Of course I have a plan.”
There was no way there was a plan.
But it wasn’t that there was no way.
Before coming here, I laid the groundwork for the seven heroes.
If the Seven Heroes really treated my father as a discarder, they would definitely approach me.
Just like Kang Moo-seong said he would cooperate with me for Kang Ha-rin.
I haven’t found out where my father is yet, but with the cooperation of the seven heroes and by capturing and dealing with the demons that are targeting me, I will be able to find out where my father is.
But I couldn’t say that to Rugal right now, so I had to deal with him based on the information I had.
“The opponents we will fight are demons. My father is probably captured by them. My mother followed in my father’s footsteps, and he lives. “Then why did they keep my father alive?”
Rugal’s expression hardened at my question.
When I realized that Lee Si-woo’s father, Lee Si-hyeon, was the key character who would end the story in this terrible novel, I thought about it countless times.
Why on earth did the devil kidnap Lee Si-hyeon?
When the apocalypse broke out two years later in the previous episodes, what happened to my father?
And why did I never meet my father during my two lives?
As the thoughts continued one after another, one thought came to mind.
‘Demon Azathoth plans to make humans go through the same experience through his father.’
It was entirely possible if he used his father’s talent as a barrier master.
Rugal thought about my question for a moment and then said.
“I’m thinking of using Lee Si-hyeon.”
Looking at Rugal’s expression, I was convinced that the beastmen were on my side.
2.
Gakseong High School, Principal’s Office.
The seven heroes sitting on the sofa were each lost in thought.
“What is everyone thinking?”
Yoo Da-hee asked everyone, and everyone who was lost in thought turned their gaze to Yoo Da-hee.
“What would you think in this situation? “I’m reminiscing about old memories.”
Kang Yeon-geum looked pitiful at the words of Ban I-su, who was cleaning his sword.
“It’s all in the past. There is no need to panic. “I don’t know how Lee Si-woo found out about the ‘death squad’, but nothing changes.”
Choi Kang, who had been listening to Kang Yeon-geum’s words, opened his mouth.
“Is Lee Si-woo even Lee Si-hyeon’s son?”
At those words, everyone sitting on the sofa stopped.
“… What are you talking about?”
“Lee Si-woo is Lee Si-hyeon’s son?”
“Even though you know that… … ,”
“So you knew about the death squad. “Did you hear it from Choi Woo-hee?”
Choi Kang shook his head at Claire’s words.
“When the gate opened again, Woohee Choi was the first to chase after Sihyeon Lee. “She couldn’t be with Lee Si-woo for a long time.”
“okay? “Then how do you know about the death squad?”
“When I interrogated the Rebellions, that was probably it.”
Yoon Ga-on’s words reminded the Seven Heroes of Shin Eun-jeong and Yoon Jeong-su.
“As expected, those two were the problem.”
“I’m sorry, I was absent for no reason… … .”
Kang Moo-seong said in response to Claire’s apology.
“You can’t do anything about what has already happened. Rather, the strongest. “How did you find out that Lee Si-woo is Lee Si-hyeon’s son?”
At Kang Moo-seong’s question, the eyes of the six turned to Choi Kang.
“I knew it from the beginning.”
“what?”
“Since I entrusted Lee Si-hyun with the gate, I have been monitoring Choi Woo-hee’s every move.”
“what?”
“How do you think Lee Si-hyeon would have acted if something had happened to Choi Woo-hee?”
At Choi Kang’s words, the Seven Heroes remembered Lee Si-hyeon, who had placed a barrier at the final gate for humanity.
“He must have lifted the barrier and set out to find Choi Woo-hee. “That’s the kind of person he is.”
Choi Kang nodded at Claire’s words.
“Yes, because that’s the situation. I had no choice but to put Choi Woo-hee’s safety first. “I ended up keeping an eye on Choi Woo-hee, and I knew that Lee Si-hyeon’s son was born.”
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“If I had told you, would you have left her alone?”

At those words, the other heroes turned their gaze.
It was Lee Si-hyeon who was sealing countless gates around the world by herself.
They couldn’t help but think that Lee Si-hyeon’s son must have tremendous talent, and they wouldn’t have left him alone.
Of course, he would have wanted to recruit him to his guild.
“you… So, take Lee Si-woo as your disciple… … .”
“No, you are wrong. “He came to the strongest guild on his own and looked for me.”
I thought it was atonement.
In return for driving his father to death, he wanted to make him the next strongest person.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“what?”
“I saw you before, Lee Si-woo. I heard you’re using your talents. Your talent ‘Descent’. “Does he know that the more he uses it, the more his life wears out?”
Yoo Da-hee’s words reminded Choi Kang of what he said when he implanted mana in Lee Si-woo.
‘It’s good. ‘Only at that level can you be called the strongest talent.’
Choi Kang, who remembered Lee Si-hyun from the face of the guy who seemed to have transcended life, answered Yoo Da-hee’s question.
“Know. He’s also a strange guy who uses Advent knowing that it will shorten his lifespan just like me. Therefore, the story about Lee Si-hyeon should not have reached Lee Si-woo’s ears.”
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Choi Kang spoke to the seven traitors gathered here.
“If we get the key and enter the final gate and really close the gate, as he wants, we will be finished.”
At those words, the awakened people who had the undeserved title of Seven Heroes began to look at each other.
3.
A space where the world is covered in darkness.
There, a man kneeling with a man and a woman whispered.
“Isn’t it time to give up?”
Despite the devil’s whispers, the man and woman did not even move.
“They are truly poisonous.”
The man who said that glanced around.
Then several demons appeared.
“I found it?”
“yes. “It is a machine called a smartphone that humans use.”
The man who picked up the smartphone held out by one of the demons tilted his head.
“What do we have here?”
“The human that the Demon God was looking for is appearing there.”
The man with an interesting expression at those words, Demon God Azathoth, looked at his smartphone.
A video of Lee Si-woo ‘exploding’ with Choi Cheol-ho was playing on the smartphone.
The demon Azathoth watched the video and smiled as if it was amusing.
“Oh, this guy. Do you have an unusual talent? I mean, it’s fun. “What did you say this guy’s name was?”
One of the demons answered Azathoth’s question.
“My name is Lee Si-woo.”
I flinch.
When Lee Si-woo’s name came out, the bodies of the man and woman who were kneeling squirmed.
Sigh.
Azathoth pretended not to notice as he watched the reaction come.
“You said this is the guy who dealt with Choi Cheol-ho, who swallowed Leonard?”
“Yes, it is.”
“oh? I think this guy is the strongest among the challengers who will challenge the final gate next time? Then, if you just catch and kill this guy, there’s nothing to worry about.”
The moment those words were finished, the woman who had her head down chuckled.
“Did you laugh?”
Azathoth, seeing that smile, turned his gaze to look at the woman.
Woohee Choi, the woman kneeling, spoke.
“No, it’s funny. “You guys can’t even touch a single hair on her?”
At Choi Woo-hee’s words, Azathoth laughed, showing his teeth.
“Why do you think that?”
“… “Because he is my son.”
This time, Lee Si-hyeon, the man who was kneeling, raised his head and spoke.
“Wow, I said it. “Did you guys see it?”
“Yes, I saw it.”
“Even though you haven’t seen him for decades, you still have a reaction because you hear him talking about your child, right?”
After saying that, Azathoth gave instructions to the demons.
“Catch this guy and bring him back. “I need to see who is more useful.”
“all right!”
Under Azathoth’s instructions, the demons of the demon world began to move.
4.
“… Huh, I don’t like it.”
“what?”
“Why should I go with you?”
“So you are the representative of the beast people?”
It was Luid who was following us.
Rugal gave Ruid to my offer.
They told me to stay with Ruid for now and then contact Lee Si-hyeon when I find him.
Ruid jumped up and objected to Rugal’s words, but he could not disobey Rugal’s words.
As I responded to Luid’s grumbling, I thought of Hwang Da-bin and Selina.
Dabin Hwang and Selina would have also met Allen by now.
‘I can trust those guys.’
Dabin Hwang and Selina will definitely be able to persuade the elves.
***
-Ppyuk!
“Oh, I understand. You’re writing it down! “Stop looking at me!”
-Quew…
Selina, seeing Goldie downcast, asked Dabin Hwang.
“Are you okay?”
“yes I’m fine. “Don’t be fooled because he looks exactly like Lee Si-woo and he’s really good at acting.”
“Oh yeah? But, what are you writing?”
In response to Selina’s question, Hwang Da-bin handed the paper over to Selina.
“It’s me, Dabin Hwang. Delivered through Goldie… … . What is this?”
“Lee Si-woo left a message through Goldie. “Goldie told me.”
-Ppyuk!
Selina began to read the paper handed to her by Hwang Da-bin, wondering how she could understand Goldie’s words.
“By the time you see this, I will have already gone to look for the beast people… … . To fight against demons, humans alone are not enough. Humans, elves, beastmen, and dragons must join forces. I will form a death squad… ? “A death squad?”
“I don’t know either. Anyway, he told us that before he left. “Meet Allen of the strongest guild.”
Selina nodded at Dabin Hwang’s words.
I was not told why I was asked to meet Allen.
“It was like that. But what does forming a death squad have to do with meeting Allen?”
“That guy named Allen is an elf.”
“… … really?”
“huh.”
“What do you want me to do when we meet?”
Since the paper only contained stories about the death squad, Selina looked at Dabin Hwang, who was still writing something on the paper, and asked.
“Convince Allen to meet the high elf.”
“huh? “You made us do that?”
“I see. Boy, why did you entrust such an important task to us? … .”
Selina asked in response to Dabin Hwang’s grumbling.
“What are you going to do?”
“What should I do? I have to go see you. “There must be a reason why Lee Si-woo left us a message like this through Goldie.”
As Hwang Da-bin said that, he picked up Goldie and placed it on his shoulder.
“Let’s go, meet the elf.”
