Episode 26
A spicy scent that tickles the tip of your nose.
It smells like sulfur.
In my past life, I smelled this smell terribly.
‘Traces of dark mana.’
Powerful energy emitted by Dark Seonghun
This is the magic power that is the source of the devil.
Although it was described as a sulfur smell.
Ordinary people cannot smell that scent.
‘It’s a smell engraved in the soul.’
A faint scent of dark magic.
Memories engraved in his past life became a clue to reveal Jang Yong-su’s identity.
I looked at Jang Yongsu’s face closely.
From surprise to bewilderment to worry to calm expressions.
Many emotions pass by in one second
went.
Of course you will be worried.
‘Kill me or not.’
A devil that seeps into humans.
He probably didn’t hide his identity with good intentions.
A significant number of witnesses.
This is not an environment suitable for immediate action.
I could clearly read Jang Yongsu’s thoughts as if I could grasp them.
‘Then let me help you decide.’
I swallowed my laughter and looked at Ellie.
“I guess I’ll have to look around the gate by myself today.”
“You’re not taking the support team with you?”
“I need to find out the gate level.”
Ellie nodded as if she understood.
Jang Yongsu’s eyes were shining.
I guess.
I feel like I bit into a piece of cake.
“As you can see, I’m a bit busy.”
“Uh, haha. I caught a busy person.
“You left it there.”
The Demonic Guild opened a previously blocked path.
I was passing this guy.
Jang Yong-su muttered in a low voice that could barely be heard.
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol. We will see you again soon.”
“I’m not good at men.”
As soon as I gained some distance from the Demonic Guild, Ellie glanced at me with flounder eyes.
“Is that really true?”
“What? If I say it without the subject, how will you understand?”
“Anyone can tell it’s a guild scout offer.”
“yes.”
“The Demonic Guild has been aggressively increasing its size recently, so other guilds are also keeping a close eye on it.”
“If the conditions are better and you pay all the penalties, I can move.”
“Oh really……!”
“Just kidding. I’m not interested in that guild.”
What I’m interested in is the other side.
‘The bait is thrown.’
How fast can a fish be caught?
All you have to do is place your fishing rod and wait for the bait to bite.
After some commotion, we arrived in front of the gate.
A group of well-armed hunters.
Nearby, several electronic devices are operating while making loud mechanical sounds.
“It’s very complicated.”
“This is the first super-large gate observed. We are investigating at the association level.
are you.”
While looking around the gate, a hunter approached me.
“Please present your ID.”
The hunter from the association looked back and forth between the certificate and my face, then nodded.
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol. Confirmed.”
Ellie took a step back.
“I’ll be waiting.”
“No. It’s going to take a while, so go and rest.”
“I didn’t say I would just explore today.
Huh?”

“Now that I’m here, I need to warm up.”
I looked up at the gate emitting blue light.
today.
A lot will happen here.
I stepped into the gate with anticipation.
Rice Rice
A very large gate opened in Jeonju.
The terrain around the gate was an ordinary forest.
As I trained, I relaxed my stiff body.
About thirty minutes passed.
Ugh-!
Small ripples distorted the surface of the gate.
A person jumped out through the crack.
It was Jang Yong-su, a man with all-white hair.
The guy turned his eyes left and right.
Immediately our eyes met.
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol. You’re still staying around the gate.”
“Waiting for someone.”
“Ho. Did you have a prior agreement?”
“It’s okay to pretend not to know.”
I sighed briefly.
This is why they are devil bastards.
One corner of Jang Yongsu’s mouth turned up.
Dry laughter.
It was a mockery mixed with quite malicious intent.
“Let’s stop talking among the players.”
“Keukeuuu. It’s quite the human theme.”
Whoa!
Jang Yong-su, or rather the devil Verde, has unleashed his power.
A lump of dark mana fell on the ground.
Pungent odor.
The faint smell of sulfur spread and quickly engulfed the surroundings.
“You’re impatient. Are you forgetting where you are?”
I pointed behind my back.
gate.
It is a huge passageway connected to the outside world.
“Who benefits from being noticed?”
“Hehehe. Are you saying we should move the location? It’s relaxing.”
The devil in human form did not hide his sneer.
Confidence in one’s own strength.
As the dark mana was released, the suppressed vicious nature seemed to have awakened as well.
Instead of responding, I kicked the ground.
all.
While pulling Unryubo up to the pole, we quickly moved into the forest.
Demon Verde chased after me.
I maximized my mood just in case.
Fortunately, he didn’t target my back.
‘If it’s a surprise attack, you don’t have the talent to resist it.’
I was relieved inside.
Since Demon Verde unleashed his full power, there was no way for me to defeat him.

*Ability scores are suppressed due to the influence of suppression.
*Free from inhibitions due to the effect of baptism. You can use 80% of your original abilities.
These were Verde’s abilities examined through the [Eye of Truth].
High-level spiritual entities are affected by ‘suppression’ when entering lower dimensions.
The reason my past life descended to Earth using an ‘alter ego’ was to minimize that suppressing power.
‘This guy is barely affected by deterrence.’
20% ability nerf?
The devil’s physical abilities were overwhelmingly high, so it didn’t mean much.
If the suppressing force worked properly, you would be able to generate 10-20% of your strength based on your body.
What tricks did they use to avoid deterrence?
That wasn’t the only thing I was curious about.
but.
I couldn’t open its mouth with force.
‘If we face each other head on, will we be able to last ten minutes?’
Thanks to the status window, I was able to objectively see the difference in power between Verde and me.
Verde’s relaxation was also an expression of confidence that he would not be defeated by ‘humans’ if he gave his all.
As a devil in a past life, I knew the basis for that confidence.
‘So, let’s try it like this.’
The arrogance of the devil.
It’s time to take advantage of that.
As we entered the gate, monsters came out one by one.
Forest Troll.
It was a large monster with dark blue skin.
“You’re disturbing me. Could you please turn it off?”
Verde waved his hand lightly.
［Black Hand］
A large hand wrapped around the forest troll’s entire body and tightened it.
“Koooo!!”
As the muscles and flesh are torn, blood flows to the ground.
Soak it.
The forest troll, caught in the grip of darkness, screamed and struggled, but it was no use.
“I will remove all obstacles.”
“You are very considerate.”
I transformed the Dark Star into an axe and used the Taisanbu method to slash the forest troll’s head.
-Acquired 1.3% experience.
They say they give experience for free.
Is there any reason to refuse?
As I moved forward, occasionally defeating the monsters that blocked my path, I came across a fairly large clearing.
I stopped walking.
“This should be enough.”
Verde, who was following, also stopped moving.
A spacious vacant lot.
Maintaining a reasonable distance, I watched Verde’s movements closely.
Verde glared at me for a moment.
you.
“K, keuhuh. Hahahaha!!!”
I burst out laughing.
When he laughed, the dark mana inherent in his body surged out.
A black gust of wind blew, and the trees around the clearing trembled.
Powerful magical power.
Faced with a storm of overwhelming power that surpassed that of an A-class hunter, my body naturally trembled.
He immediately operated Seongcheon Jogye Gong.
The chaos stabilized my body.
I looked at Verde with sunken eyes.
“Hehehe. I was worried because an unknown person came out, but I didn’t expect him to be this stupid.”
“Did everyone laugh?”
“You’re a little annoying. Are you not feeling anything when you see my power?”
Verde’s expression distorted.
His handsome face turned into that of a demon.
No, that guy was really a devil.
“I’ll give you a chance. How can I
“I’ll show you mercy if you tell me if you’ve figured out his identity.”
“The devil talks about mercy. Funny.”
“It would be a mercy to you. If you speak obediently, you will be let go without suffering.”
Black flames formed on Verde’s left hand.
Dark mana burning fiercely.
Verde smiled confidently.
“The black flame I received from a great being. I will even burn your soul with the powerful power sealed in my left hand.”
The black flame on the left hand.
Is it a second year of middle school?
Although it made me cringe, the magic power in his left arm was real.
“for a moment.”
I raised my hand.
“Hehe, have you even thought about saying something now? If so, please show mercy and let me die without pain…
“It’s so noisy, so shut up. I don’t think anyone is from this village, but they talk so much.”
Verde, who seemed ready to attack at any moment, stopped moving.
The calm before the storm.
The guy’s face turned bright red and looked like he was going to explode at any moment.
“this person……!”
The provocation was enough.
Just before Verde unleashes his power.
I waited until my anger rose to the top of my head.
‘That way it’s easy to cheat.’
The more the opponent lets go of reason.
Fraud works well.
[Use Hell’s Terror.]
[Consumes 300 horsepower.]
Dark red flames.
Former 11th place, the power of Grangios was reproduced.
“You foolish thing. Did you not recognize the spark of power when you saw it?”
Verde’s eyes opened wide.
A wave felt in the flower.
【Power of Sin】 .
A demon belonging to Pandemonium wouldn’t know.
There is no energy.
Embarrassment and anger.
The guy’s face was twisted in confusion.
Demons instinctively recognize power.
An instinct engraved in the soul.
Verde instinctively felt the power in my hand and realized that I was a demon of a higher rank than him.
Exactly.
Although it was made to ‘mistakenly’ think that it was the devil.
‘I’m human, but the power is real.’
The power of hell realized through the status system.
Although the real owner had already passed away, the ‘power’ contained in the sword itself was the same as what Grangios had used during his lifetime.
I tightened my throat as much as I could and slowly opened my mouth.
“Child of the Yoma clan. Verde.”
“Who the hell are you!”
The anger in his eyes fades, and embarrassment and fear bloom.
The spark of magic that wrapped around my left arm also quieted down.
It’s done.
“Who am I?”
[Use Hell’s Terror.]
[Consumes 500 horsepower.]
Dark red flames enveloped the entire body.
The ground I was standing on melted and turned into lava, and acrid smoke enveloped the vacant lot.
abyss.
A darkness I can’t even look into
The flames were wrapped around like a cloak.
That figure was literally the embodiment of fire.
Jerk, jerk.
I calmly walked towards Verde as if nothing had happened.
Every time I took a step, I was left with a trail of lava.
“I am the one who started the age of flames. I am the father of all flames and the symbol of destruction.”
[Consumes 300 horsepower.]
The burning flames of hell.
The dark red flames rising several meters above began to take on a certain shape.
Horns rising upward.
Large wings on the back.
An inverted pentagram carved on the forehead.
The flame in the shape of a devil opened its mouth viciously.
-Young devil. The Fire Lord answers your call!
A voice filled with murderous intent echoed through the forest.
