Chapter 821: The Last (54)

I couldn’t say there was no possibility. The Laios incident and the linked event that would follow, called the Republic War, couldn’t be discussed without mentioning him.

It was similar to a core named boss, or…

‘There is a possibility that he will appear like how an NPC would…’

These events planned by Jihye wouldn’t have been made to simply follow me.

If she wanted to show how much Lee Kiyoung sacrificed for the continent, I could only think of him having the role of the named monster of Laios this time.

The vision of the Son of Light couldn’t be seen there.

The named monsters of the main event, the State Revolution, were the revolutionary version of Lee Kiyoung. The ones that would appear in the Federation against Heera were Doom Kiyoung and Belial, and the villains that would appear in the northern part were the outer beings.

‘It would be strange if none appeared there.’

There was a possibility that we just hadn’t discovered it yet, and it might be unlocked only when other conditions were met…

The fact that magical energy was constantly floating above Laios seemed to indicate that he was somewhere around it.

Jihye knew him well, too, after all. The question was how the Demon Summoner settled there.

Even if she got permission from the system and worked under Lucifer’s support…

‘It would be impossible.’

It would be a little different depending on how one would use it, but… it was impossible to resurrect him to full form. If he got an important role, he could get a personality by becoming a named monster, but I wasn’t sure if he was the real Demon Summoner or just a puppet at that point.

‘I’ll think about this when I see him later.’

Because nothing had been decided yet.

-Demon Summoner Jin Qing… you mean…

-That’s right. I’m afraid to even say it. Of course, while fighting various battles, gaining experience, and meeting various villains, we grew and developed, but… no villain was as scary as him. Even after everything was over, with a voice overshadowed by evil, he screamed that he was not a demon summoner while crying… I read the madness in his eyes.

-Ah… Yes.

-He reminded me of what it would look like if a human were really demonized. Well, don’t you remember it too, Sora? Hyung-nim and Hayan… were also in danger. I wasn’t strong enough at the time, but it’s a memory I don’t want to recall again. Such was the brutality of the Republic that made their troops believe and follow blindly, turning them into undead. He was the opposite of hyung-nim.

-That’s right…

-Well, they say you can only see as far as your skills let you… Now I think I know better how dangerous he is. At one time, there were rumors that a demon was manipulating him to do things, but no matter if it was a guild or a mysterious black magic cult… considering that his influence stretches across the world and through time, even in this peaceful moment…

- S-Still… This time, Jung Hayan is here.

-You’re right. We can trust her. It’s not just Hayan. You and I have grown too. I’m sure we’ll be able to get through it.

Apparently, in Park Deokgu’s memory, Jin Qing was more clearly engraved.

Most of the humans on the continent probably had the same thoughts as Park Deokgu.

After all, he was the beginning and end of the continent’s danger, and that wasn’t even an exaggeration. It was probably because of this that he had a more serious face than usual.

-By the way… Hayan.

-…

-Why isn’t that falling?

-I-I don’t know… It d-doesn’t matter whether it f-falls or not. I’m going to disassemble it anyway.

-…

-I-I have to disassemble it before it falls. I’ll… I’m doing it n-now.

-Is that… possible?

‘She’s really great.’

Park Deokgu was looking at Jung Hayan in disbelief, and I, too, couldn’t help but feel disconcerted.

‘Disassemble it before it falls?’

-I-I-It’s just a bunch of magic anyway…

Did Jihye expect this? There seemed to be no limit to Jung Hayan’s magic, to the extent that it might be faster to ask what was impossible than what was possible.

‘That’s why the magic god concept works.’

If I were a wizard, I would have thought of Jung Hayan as the object of my faith.

Seemingly, Han Sora began to draw a large magic circle, which was probably to superimpose various magic spells to avoid Laios falling into the sphere of influence of the deconstruction.

Jung Hayan, being seemingly relaxed was making me wonder if this was really a crisis right now; she was quite impressive. Han Sora stepped outside for a moment while drawing the magic circle and spread a mat. Taking something out of the picnic box, she took care of Jung Hayan’s meal there.

Hayan wouldn’t have lifted a finger in the past, but now I could see her helping her.

-You can stay still. You are now…

-I-It’s okay. I’ll help too.

In fact, she didn’t help much. She just spread the tip of the mat and dusted it off, but considering Han Sora’s slightly moved face, it seemed to have an effect.

Park Deokgu, who easily assimilated into the atmosphere, was also adjusting well without being embarrassed by the sudden mood change.

After Jung Hayan finished her meal and drank tea, Han Sora finished drawing the magic circle.

Having put the magic power in and completed the test operation, she immediately stood up.

‘She’s chanting a spell.’

I didn’t know when she started. Maybe it was right after she came there.

As expected, it didn’t take long for a strong wind to blow around her.

Park Deokgu seemed to have come to his senses at that moment. He picked up his shield and became alert.

He probably recalled Jung Hayan and I blocking the magic from falling from above, and he and Han Sora had to stop the demons of Jin Qing from attacking.

Of course, the situation was different from before. The soldiers of Laios escorting Jung Hayan, Han Sora, and Park Deokgu, were also present, and the support team was also visible.

The wizards from the magic tower and the guilds and clans prepared themselves for any unexpected situations.

Unlike Jung Hayan and Han Sora, who looked relaxed, the tense faces of those who came with them were evident.

Of course, the magic old men were looking at Jung Hayan with the mindset that they believed in their granddaughter, but I could sense fear on the faces of others.

It was probably because they knew that they would be erased from existence if whatever was floating in the sky exploded. Thinking of it as a nuclear warhead hovering over their heads, the horror they felt was understandable.

Some soldiers quietly closed their eyes and prayed for it not to drop, while others murmured that she could do it.

Her spell exploded when their anxiety reached its peak.

Various branches of light emanated from Jung Hayan’s staff.

It was dazzling, almost like she thought it was important to stand out. It was enough to make even Han Sora’s jaw drop.

-Hiyaaaaa!

The contrived sound of cheering was purely for the public to hear. Han Sora looked at her and rummaged through her bag.

She prepared the pamphlets for the Goddess of Magic that she had made a few days ago, so the tension faded even more, but after a while, her expression began to look abnormal.

-Huh?

Jung Hayan looked at her, puzzled. Han Sora spoke to her, noticing something was wrong.

-Jung Hayan?

-T-The magic doesn’t seem to work.

-What?

-The magic isn’t working…

-That’s…

-I-I guess this isn’t magic. I don’t think we did anything wrong.

-…

-Um…

-Wait, Jung Hayan. I’ll investigate it. Yes. Oh, Li-ahn… No, Ms. Park Li-ahn. Over there now… yes, oh… Yes. Okay. Yes, yes. Ah… Yes. I’ve confirmed.

‘This is it.’

Even Han Sora had noticed.

If that were a normal magic power or magic remnants, it would be natural to think she couldn’t break it down.

Seeing her contacting various places, she seemed to have anticipated why that was happening too. I reached a conclusion swiftly. Perhaps…

-I think it’s the system, Jung Hayan. It’s kind of like a forced dungeon event or forced quest, so there must be a procedure. It seems they are still protected… for now, the people of the magic tower will take care of this place, so we should find another way…

-Ah…

-You don’t have to be disappointed. We’ll get another chance. There is an event quest in the State, but it hasn’t happened in Laios yet. I think there must be some kind of trigger.

-It must be that bastard! Surely the Demon Summoner is here! I’m sure we need to find him first, Hayan.

-R-R-Right.

Several eyes were on Jung Hayan as she looked around Laios.

It felt like she was looking for hints while trying to look for Jin Qing.

It was a little grotesque to see the Anemone’s Eyes fluttering around in search of a target, but it worked.

-Look there. At the cave! He might be in there!

-It may not be him, Jung Hayan. Would you like to speak with Pristina again?

-He’s definitely in there since that’s where he summoned the demon. That’s the place where we first met… We have to go there.

-N-N-No. W-When we first met… for sure…

As soon as Jung Hayan chanted a spell while holding Han Sora and Park Deokgu’s hands, they began to move.

Park Deokgu looked confused, and Han Sora’s was simply curious.

-I-It’s here.

-Right… I remember now. It was from here…

-I can’t see him here, Sora.

-What? Then…

-Yes. I can’t see him even with my eyes from here. I-I think we should just go in.

-Should we just go in without any preparation?

-W-we’re strong enough to kill him. Just blow his head off.

Park Deokgu went inside the door without hesitation, and Jung Hayan was following him while chanting a spell, but…

‘I don’t feel good about that. Something’s not right… ‘

Just as I expected…

[The main event of the mythic-grade dungeon, The Continent Where the Son of Light was Sacrificed, the Demon Summoner, begins.]

—…

‘This is the worst… this…’

—…

‘Really… It’s the worst…’

It was the worst hypothesis I had ever thought of.

—Why… don’t we play a little game?

I could see the Demon Summoner sitting at the table and looking ahead.
