One Demon King.

Seven Archdemons.

Ninety-one High-Level Demons.

When the Gate was first opened, they were the composition of the demons invading this world.

Later, the seven archdemons were called Legion Commanders.

It was because the Demon King assigned them suitable legions considering their characteristics.

It was the moment when humanitys archenemies, which must be eliminated first, were established.

Many human heroes and soldiers sacrificed their lives to subdue them.

Some succeeded.

Over the past few centuries, there had been changes in legion commanders, and vacancies occurred several times.

It wasnt just because of humans.

There were also legion commanders who lost their lives at the hands of fellow demons.

Since the Demon King did not intervene in the conflicts among demons, it was possible.

Except for one, the longest three.

The Queen of Agony, Malekia.

The Elder of Loss, Theo.

The Knight of Death, Yol.

Among the remaining three of the original seven archdemons who first crossed over.

These three never yielded their positions even once.

Not even the Dawn Knights led by Ted Redymer could kill them.

Originally, the strength of demons was proportional to the demonic energy they accumulated.

Naturally, the power of the three longest surviving ones was significantly stronger compared to the other four legion commanders.

It was to the extent that even Kalend, the most outstanding potential among the former leaders of the Demonic Church, couldnt dare to confront them.

Tsutsutsu-

Just standing in front of them made ones own existence infinitely diminished and feeble.

It felt like facing some immense natural phenomenon like a flood, earthquake, or volcanic eruption.

Kalend bowed deeply before Malekia and finished her report.

Her tone was that of apology.

Her voice and speaking style were clear and clear, just like that of a child.

Im sorry. I didnt expect him to take action so quickly.

It was literally like that.

Kalend, the leader of the Church, still couldnt fathom how the Hero could strike a blow to the factory in such a short time.

No matter how much she thought about it, it was strange.

The Harlem organizations didnt even properly understand each others existence.

A thoroughly decentralized organization through role allocation.

Enochs meticulous design made it so.

Even if they caught one, they could never have a complete view of the whole.

Torture? Persuasion? Coercion?

No.

No matter what method the Hero used, reaching the factory was almost impossible.

The location of the factory was so strictly kept secret that not even the members of Harlem or Enoch and his host knew.

Its not like he can peer into peoples minds.

To understand everything in just one day and start subjugating them

What method did he use, exactly?

Kalend pondered with doubt and naturally recalled the sight of the Hero she saw at the auction house a few months ago.

The things that were curled up inside him that she encountered through the Magic eye.

That eerie sensation still haunted Kalends nights.

It was an impious thought, but their collective power seemed far more overwhelming than what Malekia presented now.

Kalend hesitated to report on the strange experience she had at the time to her superiors, but ultimately didnt.

She too had to have an ace up her sleeve.

As long as you are a human, you cannot be in the same boat as these people until the end.

Kalend was sure of that fact, unlike other members of the Church.

It was then that Malekia broke her long silence.

Child.

Kalend immediately responded.

Yes.

Come closer.

She did as commanded.

As she crawled further into the room, she felt a chilling heat.

It felt like approaching lava.

The moisture on her skin evaporated in an instant, making her skin shrivel.

Kalend endured the pain and lowered her head again.

Your doubts and anxieties are visible.

No, theyre not.

Theres no need to listen to minor disturbances.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Just by seeing the half-sized dragon from the north leaving its nest, cant you tell?

Surprisingly, Malekias voice was calm.

No, it seemed rather pleased.

Theres no change in what you have to do.

.Abduct them and extract information.

Thats how you offer your pure power to us.

The gate will open again soon.

The source will be restored.

And Your Majesty will return to us even faster.

Uguk-

I will send assistants soon.

Uguk-

After the speech ended.

A strange sound, as if chewing on something, began echoing inside the room again.

Kalend slowly got up and retreated.

The floor had returned to its normal state.

Why are you avoiding Evergreen?

How would someone feel if they were chased and given attention only to be ignored in an instant?

Leciel, who suddenly expressed frustration without cause, promised to help Luke after a brief exchange of words.

Dont do that.

Of course, I wouldnt do that.

The reason I avoid Evergreen is because I dont want to show my ugly side.

Woong-

Luke refocused on his combat technique.

Hes not a genius for nothing.

After listening to Leciels mixed advice for a few days.

He finally started to get used to capturing and releasing magic little by little.

Luke took a deep breath and reached out his hand.

Thud-

Huh

He looked at the vial of potion, which began to turn ash-gray and then jet-black, with widened eyes.

Is this the eightieth piece?

This was the first time he had seen such a distinct color change since starting the assignment.

Wow, wow.

It felt like a thrilling lightning bolt was piercing through him from head to toe.

For the first time in a long time, he smiled widely, and jumped up from his seat.

Hey, Leciel! I did it!

Hmm

The girl nodded satisfactorily, and they exchanged a high-five with a loud clap.

It was a gesture of pure joy, unaware of the watching eyes.

Hmm

.

.

.

Well, Leciel is honestly better-looking. Much prettier, isnt she?

In fact, other students were also very interested in the extreme kids.

Each individual was like a celebrity at the academy.

There were quite a few fanatics who knew everything about the children, from their names and faces to their daily activities.

And some of them, without realizing the presence of the subjects nearby, crossed the line with their remarks.

Is it just about being prettier, or is the background more important?

Young mercenary friend, wanting to make a name for himself, huh?

Oh, if I knew Leciel would stick to him like that, Id try to get closer too.

As Karens face twisted in frustration, she brushed aside the newcomers chin that had just opened her mouth.

Hey!

Um, who Oh, oops. Um.

Karen, stop it.

Evergreen, who was nearby, shook her head and intervened to stop Karen.

But even her face was already darkening with shadows.

This feels weird.

Is it because of those blatant comparisons?

Or because of Luke, who seems to get along well with Leciel while making it obvious that hes avoiding showing interest in her?

Ugh, Im so tired. Ill go in first and take a break.

With those words, Evergreen slowly turned around and left the training ground.

Evergreen! Hey, Evergreen! Oh, shoot, um, hey, Luke. You guys watch out later. Theyre all dead.

Even as Karen called out desperately, she didnt turn back.

Why is he like this.

Even though he had disappeared from sight, he kept coming to mind.

Luke, smiling widely as he showed the paper, and Leciel, nodding her head satisfactorily while smiling softly.

It should be a good thing

Luke, who had been tormented for days because he couldnt solve the assignment, was finally feeling good.

But why does it feel like something is burning in a corner of his heart?

The daughter of the Solintail family.

She was always busy with the affairs of the territory and wrestling with her peers, so she had little interest in romance.

It was an emotion that was difficult for her to understand.

Ah.

Evergreen stood up straight.

It was because she saw her own reflection with a blank expression in the buildings glass window.

She usually had no complaints about her appearance.

She didnt think she was exceptionally pretty, but she thought she was flawless enough.

But today, even these frizzy strands of hair, freckles, and mismatched green eyes felt

Theres nothing wrong with what they said.

Evergreen burst into tears.

Evergreen?

Someone called out, and she hurriedly composed herself and turned around.

It was a boys voice.

It sounded low and soft, so she hesitated for a moment before realizing that it was someone else as she turned around.

Are you okay?

Half-tilting his head, he looked at her.

For a moment, Evergreen hesitated to say she was okay.

Because his eyes were very similar.

His gloomy face, not suitable for the most popular newcomer among the freshmen for the past few days, reflected in the buildings glass window.

Its like

Like a decal reflected in the glass window, Evergreen let out a bitter laugh.

Then, the boy who had been looking worried soon started to smile.

Hahaha.

Ahaha.

After a while, with her shoulders almost touching the ground, they looked at each other as if they had made a promise.

Want to grab something to eat?

It was time for a strategy meeting.
