The Tower, a space known as a separate world.

Even though over 50 years have passed since all histories were denied and all worlds overlapped, people still did not know about the Tower.

Because the Tower itself was the collection of all mysteries, a small world that constituted one whole world.

Therefore, the beings here were not restricted. However, this was no different from a curse. A curse that prevented them from interfering with other worlds.

“But there is a slight gap.”

The demoness said, humming.

“Although it’s called the Tower, it’s not a law made by the perfect god of creation. In the process, someone intervened, and part of the Tower’s law was distorted.”

Intervention by extraterrestrial beings.

Because they could not be perfect on their own, they endlessly envied perfect beings, and ultimately, their goal was to erase everything in the universe.

Therefore, the demoness was able to create a space inside the Tower and abduct people into it.

Of course, there was a burden. If someone noticed that she was taking beings out of the Tower, it could be dangerous. So she used a group that was easy to manipulate. A group led by a being descended from a vampire.

“The Brigade of Eternal Heaven, right?”

They were false and distorted bandits.

Their vigor was so intense that even the demoness could not underestimate them. For some reason, contact with them had been completely cut off at some point.

“Anyway, they used it as soon as I subtly leaked the information. When I told them they could take a seat in the Great Evil, they were completely deceived. But then they suddenly went out of contact. At first, I thought they died from the backlash of breaking through the Tower’s space, but that wasn’t the case.”

It is difficult to violate the laws made by the god of creation. Even the extraterrestrial beings couldn’t set foot in this world due to those laws.

Even the highest celestial beings could not exist if they broke the laws, as the backlash would be too great.

“Why, why are you telling us this?”

“It’s fun.”

The demoness smiled brightly, revealing her ugly and distorted face.

“And isn’t it unfair? Haven’t you ever thought about why you should die? Well, not that I have any intention of letting you live anyway.”

As she smiled brightly, her eyes were engulfed in pink. Her specialty, illusion magic, was activated. The man with dazed eyes drew his sword.

“Ah, ahjussi! Please snap out of it!”

“Seo-jina?”

“What is this, their feelings are strange? Well, it doesn’t matter, even if there are couples over twenty these days.”

The demoness laughed wickedly.

Their focus blurred. The man called “ahjussi” and the woman who appeared to be in her early twenties drew their swords. They weren’t the only ones. Those who had once cherished each other, lovers, were now aiming their swords at each other.

“No, Sun-ah!!”

“Stop, stop it!!”

Thus, the abducted people fell one by one.

All that remained was malice.

They committed terrible deeds without hesitation just to relieve their boredom. They were different from ordinary criminals. The fear they invoked was terrible, as they were beings capable of overthrowing entire countries overnight.

The demoness felt the people’s negative emotions with a smile.

Family members, lovers who had once loved each other, and best friends were killing each other. The most intense negative emotions were directed at her.

Sung Yu-ri trembled in fear as she watched.

‘Don’t come.’

Sung Han-byul, who thought of her as a real sister, would come to save her.

So she wished. She wished that Sung Han-byul would not find their trail.

She must not come here.

If she set foot in this place, she would surely die. Even the famous demonic realms of the world were not as dangerous as this place.

‘Please…’

So she desperately wished.

She prayed that Sung Han-byul would not set foot in this place.


Just before entering the Tower of Demons, one more person joined.

“What a fascinating place.”

Ershil smiled brightly.

“…One more person has been added.”

“Yes, I called her.”

“Hmm, does the student council president not trust me?”

“No, I do. I do trust you, but…”

The look in his eyes seemed to question if she was really necessary. Or maybe he just didn’t want the fact that they were abducted to be known.

Ershil wasn’t really someone to be treated like this, but she hid her power, and the others stood out too much.

“I thought Ershil was necessary if the abductor is who I think it is.”

“Oh my, me?”

“Yes.”

Considering the opponent.

No matter how compatible I was with that being, it’s hard to believe that my power would completely work against a being of such a high rank.

“Hmm, I guess I need to try harder to meet Seo-ha’s expectations. Well, shall I give it a try after a long time?”

Ershil said with a satisfied smile.

“Oh, and take this.”

“What is this?”

“A vessel. In a dangerous moment, it will save you once.”

“A vessel…?”

Sung Han-byul accepted the item I made with a bewildered expression.

In fact, it’s difficult to use it right now. Sung Han-byul’s true talent is tightly sealed. It will only be unlocked when her life is in danger. At that moment, this vessel will fulfill its role.

“Why so much preparation?”

Ershil looked at me with a curious expression. Her bright smile seemed relaxed somehow.

…Could it be that she noticed? The power Masked Man uses is similar to the power of Truth, so she might have caught on.

After all, the coat that Masked Man uses was secretly handed over by Ershil.

“This battle might be dangerous.”

The opponent was different from the enemies we had faced so far.

The opponent would be incredibly careless. Even if we all gathered, they would laugh and find it amusing. Even if they found out Seo Ga-yeon’s identity, they would rather enjoy killing Seo Ga-yeon.

The Demoness.

Among the seven great evils known as the Great Evil, she was considered the weakest in terms of power, but she excelled when dealing with many weaker opponents.

Phantom Evil.

She had the highest risk level set by the association and was a person who should never be fought unless there were three top-ranked heroes. Even with three top-ranked heroes, she was prioritized for retreat.

‘Sung Han-byul can exert top-level power, and so can I.’

However, the price for Sung Han-byul was her lifespan. She exerted her talent by consuming her lifespan.

But Ershil was here. Seo Ga-yeon, who must elevate her level by at least +2 when confronting demons, was also here.

Although I forcibly raised her level, making her an incomplete top-tier, I believe in the power of the starlight’s magic.

‘And with Ershil here.’

Ershil was also an exceptional force.

She could fight alone against most top-tier opponents, but her true value lay in the existence of Melanie Merchen within her.

Unlike the incompetent Black Heaven, she granted Ershil a mental image. A false world.

Because of that, she could handle two mental images.

-Incompetent, you say?

-Indeed… Black Heaven is incompetent.

Eternal Heaven agreed with my words.

Even though Black Heaven rampaged afterwards, Eternal Heaven subdued her. Meanwhile, we arrived at the entrance of the Devil’s Tower.

“…Oh, it’s Seo-ha?”

A beautiful woman with a gentle impression similar to the sky appeared. It was Kim Seo-hyun.

“…We meet again.”

The Thousand Sorcerer looked at me with a reluctant expression.

“You have many women with you.”

“…They are my guild members and clients.”

“Nonsense. The client may not have any particular feelings, but the others do. Well, it’s not my concern as long as you remember my words.”

The Thousand Sorcerer said that and turned his gaze away.

“A member of the Hwarang, you didn’t give up and came back.”

“The Hwarang Guild is like my family.”

“I see. But that doesn’t mean I will allow you to enter the Tower.”

“…The association has approved it.”

“The association doesn’t know how dangerous the Tower is. Ask another transcendent being.”

The Thousand Sorcerer shifted his gaze from Sung Han-byul to me.

“So you plan to climb the Devil’s Tower? The Tower is being raided again, but the difficulty of the Devil’s Tower is tremendous. Do you trust your measly experience of capturing a demon once?”

“The Tower has an anomaly.”

“…”

The Thousand Sorcerer observed me with calm eyes.

“I know the cause. That being is probably more dangerous than expected.”

“So?”

“I know you can’t step forward. Most of your capabilities are not in the frontier but elsewhere.”

“Right. My mission is to protect the world. It’s unfortunate that a member of the Hwarang Guild was kidnapped, but that’s not something I can intervene in.”

I used Nyeom to send a secret message to the Thousand Sorcerer.

-It’s the Great Evil. Among them, the most malicious, the Phantom Evil.

-Good compatibility. But does that mean you’re in danger?

-I’m confident. The odds are over 70%. As you know, the girl beside me…

-I know. The Celestial hinted at it.

The Thousand Sorcerer closed his eyes for a moment.

-Fine. I’ll send Seo-hyun too. She has awakened a new power in her sword and gained insight, so she will be helpful.

-Thank you.

After that, we entered the Tower.
