[251] Ritual (11)
Where did it go wrong?
‘I didn’t do anything wrong.’
After briefly concluding, Kim Jonghyun stood up. The ritual failed.
It failed while it was close to completion, which was fortunate for Kim Jong-hyun.
It’s a shame that it ended at this point, because if it had failed earlier, the body would have been destroyed without being able to reconstruct.
“Wow!”
Kim Jong-hyun opened his mouth and vomited out. Fragments of unformed internal organs pour out mixed with black blood.
Kim Jonghyun took a deep breath and checked his condition. The body that should have been reconstructed as the Demon King remained half-formed.
But it was better than before. Previously, the devil’s magic was used in a human body, but now it has become somewhat closer to the devil’s body.
‘It would have been better if it had succeeded.’
If the ritual had been successful, Kim Jong-hyun would have completely gained the power of the devil.
He would have obtained all of Caladra’s magical power remaining in the Demon World, and based on that, he would have completely completed the Demon King’s body.
But the ritual failed. It is impossible to use the reversal magic again.
Kim Jonghyun gritted his teeth. It was a ritual that started out of curiosity rather than anticipation, but it was heartbreaking to see the success turned upside down.
‘It’s still in this forest.’
Why didn’t you kill me? There would have been plenty of opportunities to kill him. Kim Jong-hyun pulled his staggering body out of his hole.
The grimoire had lost its shine and was lying scattered on the floor. When Kim Jong-hyun stretched out his hand, the grimoire emitted light again and soared into the air.
“also.”
Kim Jonghyun muttered in a low voice as he turned the pages of the grimoire.
It was a grimoire that even Arbes could not interpret, but now Kim Jonghyun was able to read all the contents of the grimoire.
As his body was reconstructed closer to that of the Demon Lord, he was able to naturally understand the demonic characters engraved in the grimoire.
‘every… … It’s impossible to use.’
This is a grimoire for the demon lord. In this world where the Demon King does not appear, why is there a grimoire for the Demon King? In order to use a grimoire, you need the devil’s magic power.
Even Arbes couldn’t do that, and only Kim Jong-hyun can handle the grimoire’s magic.
‘A grimoire for me… … That’s too arrogant to say.’
Although it seems impossible, there may be a wizard who can break the contract with the Demon King and manipulate the Demon King’s magic.
No, maybe. Kim Jong-hyun thought of Lee Sung-min.
Kim Jong-hyun also knows well that Lee Sung-min has a dark heart. I also know what nature that heart has.
Kim Jonghyun’s thoughts stopped for a moment as a thought came to mind.
Although it is nothing more than an assumption. If Lee Seong-min has a black heart, it would be possible to control the devil’s magic.
Seongmin Lee himself does not need to be a warlock. If he with a black heart preys on the heart of a warlock… … .
‘The contract is not transferred. You will only have the magic power of a warlock.’
Lee Seong-min in that state would be able to use the grimoire’s magic.
Yes, the magic of a twist. Maybe this grimoire is for him.
Kim Jonghyun quietly shook his head at the thought that had gone so far.
This is too much of an idea. Even if he dies and returns to the past and is at the center of a huge power of fate.
‘Perhaps my destiny is to become the Demon King… … Maybe it was you and not me.’
do not care. It’s fate and it’s stupid. Kim Jonghyun continued to turn the pages of the grimoire.
Because he could not completely transform into a demon lord, it was impossible to use all of the grimoire’s magic, but even so, there were many useful uses of the grimoire’s magic.
While checking the magic, Kim Jong-hyun checked the situation in the forest. Kim Jong-hyun’s eyebrows twitched as he saw the Black Dragon and the Chang King fighting.
‘Who is this bastard again?’
Kim Jonghyun doesn’t know who Changwang is.
However, as I watched the Black Dragon and King Chang fight, I knew that King Chang was an expert with great skills.
‘Ju won?’
Kim Jong-hyun’s eyes opened wide when he saw that Joo-won was in this forest.
But he soon figured out why Joo Won was here. We already know that Joo-won is the king of Lycan Slope, and that he is trying to fulfill Howon’s long-held wish to fight dragons on his behalf.
Yes, this area was Joo Won’s territory. Did you come to this forest to see the Black Dragon Gorge and fulfill your long-cherished wish?
A wry smile appeared on Kim Jong-hyun’s lips. There was no way to know what would happen, but it was certain that the Black Dragon Alliance would suffer a disaster due to Joo Won’s intervention.
‘I’d like to lend a hand, but… … ‘I’m not feeling well right now.’
I have not yet confirmed how far I can handle the grimoire’s magic with this body.
Since he had no intention of hurting himself by doing too much, Kim Jong-hyun summoned the ghost warhorse without any regrets. First of all, it was to leave this place.
* * *
Joo Won stared at Lee Sung Min with an expressionless face. After a moment of silence, Joowon opened his mouth.
“I know you are different from the dragons I have seen. But is there a need to fight that dragon instead of you?”
“Because I’m not a dragon.”
The corner of Joo Won’s mouth twitched at Lee Seong-min’s words. What was produced was a faint smile.
“yes. “You are not a dragon.”
Joowon convinced himself by mumbling like that.
The wild fear and intimidation subside.
Thump, thump, thump.
From a not far away direction, the sounds of the King of Spears and the Black Dragon are running wild can be heard again and again.
Joowon looked in that direction and nodded his head.
“But it is also true that you feel the dragon’s power. “I think I can achieve Howon’s long-cherished wish by fighting with you.”
[Are you trying to take the easy route?]
Heo Ju, who took shape with magical power, frowned at Joo Won.
[This guy is ridiculously weak compared to the dragon. I’m just using some of the dragon’s power by eating the heart of a dragon I killed before. Do you think that you can achieve Howon’s long-cherished wish by fighting this brat?]

Although I thought it was too harsh to say that I was a child. Lee Seong-min did not object but quietly listened to Heo-ju.
Hearing what Heo Ju said, Joo Won narrowed his eyes and stared at Heo Ju.
“Heoju. “It seems like that person is quite important to you.”
[It’s precious. It’s not like I’m going to use such cringe-inducing words. Still, there is a bond we have had together so far, but it is just a little too much for me to let you kill me.]
“It’s been a long time.”
[It’s no different from you imitating politeness when you were called a madman and always did crazy things.]
At Heoju’s answer, Joowon shook his shoulders and laughed. He nodded his head slowly.
“I’m just saying this now. I admired your strength. I was in awe. “If you had been alive at that time, I would have killed Howon and challenged you as well.”
[Then you would have died.]
Joo Won burst out laughing at Heo Joo’s immediate answer.
“I’ll pretend not to notice you this time too.”
Joowon said that and passed by Lee Seongmin. The place he was heading to was the place where the Black Dragon and the King of Chang were fighting.
It would be good if Joo Won kills the Black Dragon Hyeop. Lee Seong-min looked at Joo-won’s back as he walked away while thinking that.
“… … Phew!”
When Joo Won disappeared, those who had been frozen by his presence breathed a sigh of relief. Lee Seong-min approached Scarlett, who was looking pale.
“Are you okay?”
“Fine… … I think so? Ugh… … .”
Scarlett frowned and grabbed her hair. She glanced at Joo Won’s back as he walked away from her and swallowed her saliva.
“What on earth is that monster doing?”
“… … He is the king of Lycan Slope. I was lucky. “If he wanted to commit massacre here, I would have had a hard time stopping him.”
Seongmin Lee spoke honestly. Honestly, I got lucky again and again today. He suddenly met King Chang, but did not fight, and King Chang helped him in a situation where he had to fight against the Black Dragon Alliance.
And now I had to fight with Joo Won, but thanks to the Black Dragon Alliance, I was able to avoid the fight.
Heukryonghyeop, Joo Won, Changwang. All three are difficult opponents for the current Lee Sung-min to handle. If there had been a fight, there was a high probability that Lee Seong-min would have lost and died.
“We will hold the Murim Alliance responsible for this matter.”
Lloyd spoke to the surviving warriors of the Murim Alliance and the Moyong Family.
Most of the warriors of the Mo Yong family died, but Mo Yong Chan, the son of Mo Yong Daeun, was alive.
Mo Yong-chan couldn’t hear Lloyd’s words properly. He was looking at the dead body of Mo Yong Dae-un with blank, open eyes.
Seeing Mo Yong-chan like that, Lee Seong-min felt bitter, but that didn’t stop him from offering words of comfort to Mo Yong-chan. Instead, Lee Seong-min asked Scarlett.
“What do you want to do?”
“what?”
“If you are in trouble, please come to Sima Lian with me. “I will prepare a place for you, Scarlett.”
“… … hmm.”
Scarlett hesitated for a moment at Lee Sung-min’s words.
To be honest, just a moment ago, she was planning to go to Sima Lian with Lee Seong-min.
But now my thoughts have changed a bit. This was because the other magic tower owners did not back down and tried to protect themselves.
“Let’s go.”
Lloyd said.
“It is clear that the relationship with the Murim Alliance will worsen due to this incident. And the Murim Alliance will put pressure on you.”
Lloyd glanced at Lee Seong-min as he said that.
“The positions of the political faction and the evil faction are none of the wizard’s guild’s business. The Murim Alliance and the Wizard’s Guild have had a relationship for a long time. “If they ask politely, it’s hard for us to refuse.”
“Are you saying we should leave now?”
Scarlett asked and Lloyd nodded his head.
“I think it would be better for both of us. “For you and the wizard guild.”
“… … what. “I think so too.”
Scarlett also nodded in understanding. There is no significant need to remain in the wizard guild.
Scarlett glanced at Lee Sung-min. The place you end up relying on is not a bad place. He has been a red magic tower master for several years anyway and has acquired enough necessary magic books and magic knowledge, so there is no big problem in quitting his position as a magic tower master and becoming independent.
“I guess there’s a room for me in Sima Lian, right?”
“There won’t be any.”
Lee Seong-min answered like that and summoned a fairy horse.
Since I didn’t know what would happen, I was planning to use the fairy horse to escape from here.
If I used the fairy horse here, I would only be able to use the fairy horse once in the future, but I didn’t want to take that risk.
If I were alone, I could do anything, but since I was with Scarlett, I had to rule out risks as much as possible.
Lloyd and other wizards looked very surprised as they looked at the summoned fairy horse.
Lloyd muttered, looking at the fairy horse with awe-filled eyes.
“If what I know is true… … “Aren’t these the words of the Fairy Queen?”
“you’re right.”
“I have a relationship with the Fairy Queen.”
Lloyd laughed and shook his head.
“Come to think of it. It’s too late to ask. “Have you met Master?”
When asked about Envirus, Seongmin Lee smiled bitterly. To be honest, I don’t have good memories of Envirus.
He may have had his own position, but even putting that aside, it was undoubtedly true that Envirus tried to kill Lee Seong-min and did not try to fulfill his promise.
“We did meet.”
“I guess you’re doing well, right?”
“… … “I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
There was no need to mention that Envirus almost died and went to the spirit world. Lloyd sighed and nodded his head in response to Lee Seong-min’s answer.
“anyway. A promise I made to you a long time ago. “I have certainly fulfilled it.”
“thank you.”
“It was a difficult request.”
Lloyd muttered that and glanced at the Holy Knight leader.
The leader of the Holy Knights became completely dumb and kept his mouth shut. Lee Seong-min’s summoning of the fairy horse was enough of a reason for him to move south from Travia in the north.
That’s why the Holy Knight leader could no longer find fault with Lee Seong-min. In fact, he had nothing to say since his life was saved with the help of Lee Seong-min.
“I never thought the day would come when I would be able to ride a fairy horse.”
Scarlett, who climbed onto the fairy horse with Lee Seong-min, muttered in amazement.
When Lee Seong-min brushed the fairy horse’s mane, the fairy horse made a small grunt sound.
‘Samaryan.’
When Lee Sung-min remembered that place, a pure white light engulfed Lee Sung-min and Scarlett.
