This was no ordinary situation.
If Jin Cheon-woo can control even the highest level of evil as Kim Seon-woo said, it would be difficult to stop him even if the associations around the world joined forces.
Kim Jin-cheol put down the documents and let out a deep sigh.
“I guess we’ll have to prepare for war with the Demon Legion soon.”
I remained in the fortress until late at night, interrogating the followers for the purpose of capturing them.
At first, they refused to answer my questions because of their own beliefs, but as I continued to harass them, they finally began to open up.
“So, Bert told me to gather the demons inside here?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Are there any demons locked up in fortresses in other regions just like here?”
“……yes.”
“……ha.”
I sighed deeply.
As expected, this fortress was built with the intervention of Jawoon.
The purpose of building the fortress was to manage the Demon Corps controlled by Jin Cheon-woo.
Lee Seo-jun, who was listening to the story from behind, said to me.
“So it turns out there are demons hiding in other fortresses too.”
“yes.”
Through this recent incident, Jin Cheon-woo’s plan was vaguely revealed.
The magical powers he possesses.
He wanted to use that ability to create an army of demons to fight against the Association.
Considering that he was able to control the nine-tailed fox, even though he was blocked by the power of the chains, he should be able to control a disastrous demon as well.
The situation is much more serious than I expected.
It flows.
Lee Seo-jun sighed heavily as if he was frustrated with this situation.
“If Jin Cheon-woo can handle the world’s calamitous demons at the same time, something serious will happen.”
“Of course. And once they build up their own power and gain the initiative, they will target you first.”
“I say this every time, but be careful. If you get hit by Jincheonwoo, it’s really over.”
For a moment, there was a deep bitterness in his eyes.
It was included.
I felt burdened by this situation.
I slapped him on the back to cheer him up.
Even though he didn’t put much effort into it, Lee Seo-jun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as if he was joking.
“Oh, right. Are you keeping that safe?”
“what’?”
“The Stone of Life.”
Stone of life.
Taehwi Festival, the Magic Academy Festival
T, these are the relics obtained from ‘Ghost Island’.
It has miraculous effects that can cure all diseases and wounds, and was left to Lee Seo-jun for the development of the original story.
Lee Seo-jun blinked and nodded.
“Yeah. I’m keeping it safe. I was planning on using it if one of my friends needed it.”
“Just in case, keep it in your bosom and carry it around.”
The Stone of Life, which played an important role in the original work.
Now that the final battle with Jincheonwoo is approaching, it is time to use it.
“That stone will protect you from Jincheonwoo.”

The next morning.
I slowly opened my eyes in a room filled with sunlight streaming in through the window.
The back felt soft and firm, but it was a sofa, not a bed.
“… … Ugh. My head.”
I raised my head, rubbing my forehead. I looked around and saw that it was the office of 8()1.
At the same time, I remembered that I had been investigating the followers’ fortress late last night and had only returned at dawn.
Tiring!

all.]
[Your actions have brought a new wind to the world]
[Causality increases by 3.]
“… … What is this?”
The causality has increased by 3?
Has something like that happened?
For a moment, several thoughts crossed my mind and then I realized what it was.
“Ah. I see.”
I immediately went online with my smartphone. As expected, a lot of articles came up.
“Association Special Forces Team. Joint operation with Mines is a success. The King of Mines, ‘Kim Seon-woo’ is active… ….J
“The article is out.”
It is only natural that chaos will break out since the Association, and not any other group, has allied with the Mines, the so-called archenemy of humanity.
An event that could literally change history

Because it was.
Even so, it is a bit surprising that the causality rate increased by 3.
[comment]
[eqoq: I heard there haven’t been any mine incidents lately, but now you’re forming an association and alliance. Is that right?]
[ttap: I heard Kim Seon-woo suggested this, but this is a bit…]
[egg52: It’s best to stop Jincheonwoo first. Mine isn’t the problem.]
As expected, there are more negative comments than positive ones.
It’s a natural reaction in a world that hates mines so much.
“Still, it’s a gain since you got points and causality.”
I don’t care about other people’s opinions.
Because I’ll do anything I can to get points and causality without ruining the story.
“Ah. That’s not a story.”
This world is not a novel, it is reality.
Because I knew that. I smiled slightly and checked my private messages.
There was a message for Haryeong.
[There are no major problems with the sorcerers yet.]
“Jincheonwoo. What on earth is he thinking?”
I thought he would first seek out a sorcerer to remove the curse on his body, but contrary to my expectations, he didn’t make any moves.
“Is there another ulterior motive behind the use of the devil?”
Jincheonwoo is also a cautious person, so the longer he delays, the more it will be detrimental to him.
“……Hmm.”
Several hypotheses come to mind, but none are definitive.
We have no choice but to watch the situation further.
I felt a little anxious, but I cleared my mind and stood up.
After that, I washed up a bit and came out.
The place I headed to was the Seoul Magic Association.
It was because I suddenly had an appointment at dawn.
As I entered the first floor of the association, I heard the voices of several magicians who recognized me.
-Is it Kim Seon-woo?
_I think you keep linking me with Mine.
As I was ignoring everything and trying to go inside, my eyes met with a familiar face.
“……Seniors?”
It was Choi Seo-yoon. She was happy for a moment.
He made a face like that and came towards me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I have someone to meet briefly.”
“Within the association?”
“eww ”
O .
Choi Seo-yoon tilted her head for a moment, then spoke as if she had just remembered something.
“Ah, Senior Lee Seo-jun went out on a mission 30 minutes ago… …
“It’s not Lee Seo-jun.”
There was a question in her eyes as to whether she naturally thought it was her or Lee Seo-jun.
“Then who are you?”
“Chairman Kim Jin-cheol.”
Seo-yoon Choi wasn’t particularly surprised by what I said. She seemed to think that it could be because of my status.
She thought deeply, then smiled and said.
“Then shall I guide you?”
“Huh? No. You must be busy.”
“No. I finished all my work this morning so I’m free. Hehe.”
When you say it like that, I’m speechless.
As it turned out, I was guided by Choi Seo-yoon.
He received it and entered the association.
Although he was an outsider, he was able to move freely in and out of the association’s departments thanks to Kim Jin-cheol’s word.
As we walked side by side down the hallway, something suddenly occurred to me.
“But how long are you going to call me senior?”
Back when we were at Magic Academy, I was her senior, but not anymore.
He’s not a special agent senior either.
There is no reason for her to call me ‘senior’ anymore.
At my words, Choi Seo-yoon glanced at me and narrowed her eyes.
“He told me to call him senior for the rest of my life.”
“… … Huh? Did I say that?”
“Yes. Don’t you remember?”
I slowly tried to recall my memories. Then, an anecdote from the past came to mind.
-Then, other than senior, what other titles do you use?
—What title?
—Uh. Um. Oh, oppa… … ?
-… … Just call me senior.
—Even after graduation?
_Uh. All my life.
… … It’s true.
I turned my head slightly and saw Choi Seo-yoon staring at me.
“Did you remember?”
“Oh. Is that what you said in herbal medicine class?”
The one who was embarrassed by those words was Choi Seo-yoon.
“… … Oh. It’s a herbal medicine class.
“I can’t believe it. Do you even remember that?”
“I have a good memory.”
Of course, the [Memory] trait is red.
Seo-yoon Choi looked at me with a curious look and said.
“So, can I change my title now?”
I don’t know if it was my imagination, but she seemed a little excited.
I nodded since it didn’t really matter.
“Do whatever you feel like.”
I also feel burdened coming all the way here to hear what my senior says.
Choi Seo-yoon clenched her fist.
“Oh yea.”
He quickly cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Ahem. Then oh, oh……
Her face, which had been speaking softly as if babbling, gradually turned red.
“… … I’ll just call you senior for the time being.”
After arriving at the top floor of the association, I entered the president’s office.
A view of the chairman’s office that I haven’t seen in a long time.
Kim Jin-cheol was sitting in front of the wide window, and Choi Il-hyeon was standing next to him in an awkward posture.
“Oh, is your disciple here?”
Choi Il-hyun, who discovered me, greeted me with a smile.
I nodded slightly and said,
He turned his gaze to Cheol.
“You’ve lost some weight in the past few weeks.”
“There must be one or two things that are stressing me out these days. It’s killing me. Tsk.”
Kim Jin-cheol clicked his tongue and shook his head.
A snicker escaped from the unresponsive groan.
“So, why did you call me?”
“I wanted to talk to you. And I also wanted to hear your opinion about Jincheonwoo.”
Kim Jin-cheol said that and then smiled faintly.
“So, is ‘Kim Seon-woo’ adjusting well to life?”
“Yes, well. I’m adjusting pretty well. I think it’s more comfortable to go out with a bare face than with a mask.”
I said it jokingly, but in reality I’m very satisfied with my life right now.
Should I say that I feel like I have regained my lost freedom?
I am realizing how precious it is to live proudly with your own name and face.
“Well then, that’s good. Then let’s stop this trivial greeting and get to the main point.”
Kim Jin-cheol exhaled briefly and said.
“I would like to know more about the ancient sorcery you said you cast on Jincheonwoo. Can you explain it to me?”
“It’s a type of sealing technique. However, it’s a sealing technique that applies to the soul, not the body.”
“It’s a sealing technique. I think I have a rough idea of what kind of magic it is. The strength of the body comes from the soul… … It contaminates the soul and lowers its resilience.”
Is he really the one who has reached the pinnacle of all magicians? Kim Jin-cheol was able to figure out the type of magic just from the simple explanation.
As he said, the curse I put on him is a curse that pollutes his soul and delays the recovery of his body.
It is easy to understand if you think of it as a similar concept to ‘Destruction of Demons’, which suppresses the regenerative power of the mine.
“Yes, that’s right. However, it’s not a magic that kills, but rather a magic that slows down recovery. Over time, it will return to its original state.”
Kim Jin-cheol stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Got it.
“Last time I heard that Jincheon-woo was going to take action to lift the curse. But if he could recover on his own, then there would be no reason for Jincheon-woo to seek out a shaman, right?”
“No. Even if the bastard fully recovers, the curse won’t be lifted.”
“What does that mean?”
“Jincheonwoo will want to utilize the numerous regenerative, healing, and mystical abilities he possesses. To do that, he will definitely have to break the curse. And on top of that,
“Since the soul is polluted and cannot fully draw out its original power, it will become even more difficult to release it.”
I shrugged.
“Well, besides that, he’ll probably want to break the spell quickly because he’s afraid I’ll come looking for him before he recovers.”
Kim Jin-cheol chuckled.
“Jincheonwoo. That guy is afraid of you?”
Soon he started giggling.
“Well, that could be true. I still don’t know your identity either.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Kim Jin-cheol, who had been muttering like that, turned his gaze to Choi Il-hyeon.
Choi Il-hyun nodded and handed me a document.
I checked the contents of the document with curiosity.
[North Africa 1,000-horse army attack.]
[Disaster-level demon ‘Hydra’ appears in the western United States]
yo. this..
The documents contained information about recent demonic attacks around the world.
But the quantity is much larger than I expected.
“This is a compilation of the cases of demonic damage that have occurred in the past month.”
I saw the photographs of the demon inside the documents.
The eyes of the demons are all blue
It was shining.
It was evidence that he was a demon controlled by Jincheonwoo.
“I had a feeling it had been going on for a month.”
“Yes. Jin Cheon-woo was involved in all of these demon attacks.”
I felt the seriousness.
The fact that the number of demons was increasing rapidly was evidence that the number of demons controlled by Jincheonwoo was increasing.
“We are also pressed for time. As the number of demons controlled by him increases, the situation becomes unmanageable.
