M E M O R I Z E

Astarot points to the ground.

For just a moment, the demons glow a dull-looking glow. However, I frowned together to see if I soon understood the meaning. Like it's crazy.

“The Devil of Fury, are you mad? The last time I was like that.... ”

Lucifer asked in a tone of concern. However, it cannot feel good for the listener. Astarot's face gradually distorted.

“These are really... ”

“Enough. Everyone be quiet. ”

It was then.

Satan, who had remained silent all this time, quickly calmed down the commotion. And after still turning off the playback video, I stared at the Ziggy Astarot.

“First…. I think you should at least hear the story. ”

Satan knows. What kind of demons Astarot is.

Pride is strong and temperamental, but Astarot was the first of seven demons. As such, the 'Devil of Fury' has never shown such meaningless behavior.

Of course, there have been some unfortunate consequences, such as the Hole Plain Punishment Plan that failed miserably last time, but that was unexpected.

Astarot was once a patron of other dimensions of hell, and every evil that possessed the powerful black salt that no one can defeat about fire. No one would have expected such a demon to be defeated in Hell, where fire is heaven and earth.

Anyway.

“Tell me, Astarot. ”

When Satan, with his hands clasped, agreed to listen, the other demons clung together to fix their attitudes. Astarot felt his heart falter when Satan came out like this, not just any other demon.

“Hmm. Let's get started, then. ”

Later, Astarot clears his mouth once or twice.

“Everyone knows that. This man, the Grand Duke of Hell, who rules this hall plane of hell. ”

I've heard of it, but don't know the details. Since Mephistopheles is dead and Astarot has run off like a pig, how strong can it be?

“The last time I entered the plan of conquest, I was able to understand some of the structure of this hall plane's inferno. ”

Astarot's description followed.

“Simply put, there are eight sections. Starting with Hellfire, where stooges roam, Black Wings, Polymerization, Circumference, Giant Cycle, Heat, Heat, Cold Heat... And free to go to hell. ”

“Astarot, wait. How far did you get last time? ”

“Hell of a fever. ”

“The fever.... must be up to 6. So you can go back and forth on your own terms. ”

Astaroth nods at Satan's question. I was not sure, but I assumed it would be.

“The first part of my plan started with taking over the first section of the Light Bow Hell…. ”

“Explanation, annoying. Conclusion, quickly. ”

As you continue to speak calmly, Baal inflates the ball, unconsciously flowing the Astarot. Then Astarot with his tongue shrugs once. As for Lucifer, Baal, who was called the 'Cruel Destroyer' and 'King of the East,' was the second devil after Satan.

“Fine. Then I'll talk to you. I mean, we got to get the Grand Duke of Hell out of the junction, somehow, and we got to get him out of the junction. ”

The point of the plan has been made. And at that moment, the demons that were eager to listen illuminated all sorts of colors.

“Let's get rid of the Grand Duke of Hell..." So you're saying we should just kill him? ”

Astarot openly looks pathetic, saying that she doesn't understand.

“What are you talking about? How do we kill him? ”

“No, you...! ”

“How can you accept that when you're talking about the whole time? And just in case, you can't kill the Grand Duke of Hell. Especially in his home ground. ”

“What, what? ”

“No, no, cancel. It's not enough to kill.... Hmm. Maybe if Satan, Lucifer and Baal and I got together at once, we can work something out. Hell has no power limit, unlike the Middle Ages. ”

“ ……. ”

Astarot speaks in a dismissive tone, but Lilith is speechless. I missed the time to be angry.

Is it worth running into four great demons? With all that power available?

The Grand Duke of Hell, assessed by Astarot, gave the demons that much shock. 'No way...' Demons also know the pride of the astronauts who are distracted and do not bend.

“Quiet.”

Then again, a low voice sank around him. Satan was surprised as well, but what matters now is the success of the plan. Satan was fully aware of that.

“So... Does that mean you're getting rid of it, in a symmetrical way? ”

“That's right."

“Then taking over the Light Bow Hell as we speak, that's part of the preparation. ”

“That's it! I knew you would. ”

Fellas, Astarot claps his hands and rejoices.

But is there something that's taking hold? Satan has a decent look on his face.

“Hmm. I know what you mean... ”

Then he shows himself deeply in his thoughts and shakes his head.

“Of course, we have to take some risks under the circumstances.... but even after considering that, there is a huge flaw in your plan. Astarot.”

It's not impossible to enter Hell. It is not easy to penetrate dimensions, but it is okay to consider that it is possible because there is power in the same world and once before.

But the real problem was right after that.

“Surely the Grand Duke of Hell…. Will it work the way you think it will? ”

The Grand Duke of Hell cannot guarantee victory even if four great demons are close. It meant that he didn't think he would notice what was happening in the jurisdiction and not in other dimensions.

“You have to go through a total of seven sections, from the dance to the lightning. By the way, is the Grand Duke of Hell guaranteed to come quietly to the area we prepared? ”

“Huh-huh-huh. That's right. ”

At that moment, two eyes of Satan touched me. Despite the blind spots in the plan, Astarot's eyes remained confident. Satan decides to listen a little more.

Astarot slowly opens his mouth.

“Listen, he thinks he's feeding us. ”

“That's what you think.... ”

“No, no. This is what I found when I was punishing hell... The Grand Duke of Hell is obsessed with fire. I mean, greed? ”

“On fire?”

“Yes. Do you know how your Mephistopelles died? ”

“ ……. ”

Of course I don't know. I didn't see it for myself.

But there is a demon who faced the Grand Duke of Hell and witnessed the end of his subordinates.

“It worked.”

“... It worked? ”

“Yes. The Grand Duke of Hell, literally, ate mephistopelles. It's just that you have the power of fire like yourself. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“After eating mephistopelles, he said,... Heh. I expected quite a lot, but it's not a very nice fire. ”

“ ……. ”

“He looked at me again and said, Can you meet my expectations?... and they really chased me down. ”

“… ha. ”

Someone blows out a sigh. It wasn't particularly sad, but the fact that the same creature had been eaten doesn't feel very good.

The static flowed.

While Astarot paused, he took out a lotus grass on Juju Island, Satan tasted it.

“So... You mean take the bait. ”

Astarot, who just put a lotus candle in his mouth, nods and nods.

Astarot agrees, and the other demons clamor at each other.

I understood that I was going to seduce him. But there's no problem here either.

The nickname of Mephistopelles, now a good nutrient, is "Mad Flame." He was the most powerful of all the fourteen Demon Lords. I mean, it had to be at least that far to get the attention of the Grand Duke of Hell.

Then who is?

Who can play the bait?

“I, I can't handle fire.... ”

Lilith looks away and blurs her words. And the moment I looked at Satan, my eyes suddenly grew big as a flashlight. Satan was staring at the other side with frightening eyes.

Satan opens his mouth.

“Are you serious? ”

“Huff, then. Does this look like a joke to you? ”

The user replies with a blade of questions, emitting smoke and giggling. Her gaze crosses over without me even knowing it.

And, Lilith.

“Here... ”

The speck of Astarot pointing to the ground earlier.

“There's the best bait, right? ”

This time, I could see myself pointing to myself.

The next day.

It was a clear and quiet morning with no clouds in the sky.

No, there may be silence. It was certainly quiet, but the Northern expedition was under tension to cover the entire camp. Although it is still early in the morning, users are on the verge of being vigilant.

At the center of the boundary, a massive, full-bodied humanoid monster sits on a pillar with its name wrapped around it.

“Aren't you going to kill that monster? ”

Suddenly, Song Song, who was standing next to Yoohyun Kim, turned his head and asked.

“We need to make a decision quickly. You're not going to march today? ”

“I'm thinking. ”

“Thinking? Hey, Brainy. If you march, you won't tell me to carry him, will you? ”

“ ……. ”

“No. Everyone's curious. It's good to have you. I mean, why do you stay still? ”

“… Fuyu. Didn't I tell you yesterday? ”

Kim Yoo-hyun finally sighed deeply as he continued to speak in a grumpy tone.

After the fierce battle between the two monsters last night, the victorious beast faints unconsciously. I don't know the exact reason I'm just guessing the cause of the severe injuries on my whole body.

After all, the Northern expedition was untouched, and Kim Yoohyun ordered us to recover the place where the battle took place.

There were four monsters there. One dinosaur corpse, one geek corpse, one baby geek, and one fainted monster.

In fact, not all of the northern expeditions were in the same mind. Rather, I understood Kim Yoohyun's decision to bring the corpse. The first step in exploration, expedition, or attack is to get a sample of the monsters that appear.

Of course, apart from him, I was wondering why he hasn't been investigated yet.

After a while.

Kim Yoohyun pointed at the monsters, monsters, and dinosaur corpses once.

“Think about it. What difference do those monsters make? ”

“Difference? Well. Something like that?”

“ ……. ”

“... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

The lake said with a fat face.

'Patience, patience, patience. Soo-hyun is the best.'

Kim Yoohyun, who thought of his brother and barely let himself down, immediately opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“I'm not talking about the appearance. We can divide it into the first wave and the first wave. ”

“What difference does it make? ”

“You know, there's a big difference. Thinking about yesterday... No, in short, you don't have to provoke me. ”

“Huh?"

Song Song said, Kim Yoo-hyun suddenly felt creepy. It is because if the North had not allied with the West but had only established the Great Lakes, we could have guessed what would have happened. I bet they were wiped out in three days.

Yoohyun Kim remembered his brother again.

"The third region is the paradise of monsters. That's how much territorial squabble happened. '

"Don't rush because you can't see much. Basically, the placenta is a cluster of people. '

'That's not all. Giants aren't the only ones with intelligence.'

'Remember, all you have to do is walk the path, not conquer it. That means we only have to deal with those Giants. I didn't want to get hurt...'

How do I tell you this information, Yoohyun Kim, who had cleared his mind for a moment, opened his mouth while looking back at the giant.

“First of all, I want to talk to him. ”

“A conversation? ”

“Yes.”

“Ha! Do you really think that's possible? ”

“Once it looks like us.... Why.Can 't you even try? ”

“Try. Good. Yeah, let's give him a hundred concessions and assume he's intelligent.... Hey. You think you can talk? ”

The symphony shakes its head slowly. But don't say 'Yes. Su-hyun said she can talk.' I can't say, Yoohyun Kim shrugged.

“Wow. Isn't it amazing that Gore-educated users and translation magic exist? ”

“ ……. ”

The lagoon was silent. Then I saw a shivering look, and this time I turned to the left.

- Queek... Meow...

You see the corpse of a full-blown gecko and a crying baby gecko with a hollow voice. Gong-ho's eyes narrowed to the point that he remembered waking up last night.

“So, are you going to talk to him, too? ”

“I wish I could, but it's hard to expect. But they're not intelligent, are they? ”

“Hmm.”

“Look, why is that nerd crying like that? Right next to the body? ”

“Probably because the dead are his parents. ”

“Most likely. Then let's change it. What would it feel like if someone killed your colleague and mutilated his corpse? ”

“Of course I killed him.... Ah.”

“Yes. Do you understand now? I've identified the bastard, but there can't be only two monsters of that kind in this area. ”

Even though he said it without thinking, he immediately gave a weak elasticity. Kim Yoo-hyun finally realized what he was going to say.

“Ha, but will they find out? ”

“I don't know. That's why we need the geek and the giant. If there is a bad relationship between the two species, and if there is a system that can communicate with each other, Then maybe there's room for a little anticipation. ”

“Then I'd rather just leave it... ”

“No. We can't help but leave a trail in the area if we don't know it already. It's best to do this now. ”

This time, the Great Lakes sighed. After hearing the detailed explanation of Yoohyun Kim, I realized what the Northern expedition was facing.

On the other hand, I felt apprehensive.

All I could think about was killing and fighting. But Yoohyun Kim is also responding with the situation outside, not just the Northern expedition. I have yet to feel that the experience of conducting is truly remarkable as a complimentary lake.

“... Wonderful. ”

“Then, did you think you were being handed over to the Gun Commander for nothing? ”

“Of course.” The muttering pond smiles deeply. I saw the giant with his head still shaking, and I turned without hesitation. Then, Yoohyun Kim opened his mouth, looking at the back of the consensus.

“Anyway, I'll make a decision before lunch, so just wait. ”

“Yay, yay. ”

Seeing the pontoon lake disappearing far away, Kim Yoo-hyun secretly looked ahead at the road and fell into a thought.

- Squeeze!

Suddenly, the torn monstrosity of the baby nerd echoes in my ears. Reflexively, I saw a woman slowly approaching with food and water in both hands, and a baby nerd suddenly spreading her wings wide and vigilant.

“Jinja? What are you doing? ”

“Ah. I'm going to get some food and water. ”

The woman who was slowly approaching, no, Baek Jinha, looked back at Yoohyun Kim.

“You said you tried at dawn and failed? ”

“Still, you're pathetic. I've rested a lot of voices now... ”

It seems that I couldn't see the baby nerd crying at the top of his mouth because he likes animals so much.

“Well, try it. ”

Kim Yoohyun shrugged his shoulders to do whatever he wanted, and Baekjin calmly knelt down and pushed the food bowl and water bowl. Naturally, the baby nerd growled louder as he retreated.

“It's nothing weird, so don't worry about it. You're going to eat this? Yum yum.”

- Squeeze!

“… really, what are you going to do? Why don't we just eat and cry? ”

- Squeeze!

The baby nerd screams as if to say no.

Baek Jinha, who had his tongue a few times, slowly approached me with a small piece of bread. The baby nervousness threatened to reveal its adorable teeth, but it was only a more urgent move.

“Oh, my baby. You open your mouth well. ”

You tease your hand toward the baby nerd, whistling a white-knuckle, leaving a little distance behind. Then, the piece of bread that flew away with a soft wire flew into the mouth exactly. Baek Jinha grabbed a burning fist.

However.

- Boom!

The baby nerd spits out a piece of bread with a very unpleasant face. Ami frowned slightly.

“You! I didn't say spit it out!”

Then he picks up a new piece of bread and throws it back into his mouth.

But the results were the same.

- Heave!

“Don't spit, just swallow! ”

- Heave!

“… you. ”

Throw backward and spit out the baby nerd.

Kim Yoohyun smiled bitterly as he watched the series of processes repeated. And I thought of my younger brother, Kim Soo-hyun.

Realistically, that's what makes it so obvious. Monsters grown in the wild inherently alert to humans.

However, there were exceptions everywhere, Kim Soo-hyun was the exception.

'If Su-hyun was there....'

Maybe he ran into that baby nerd, too?

Kim Yoohyun thought that way and lifted his mouth.

“Gun Commander! ”

Suddenly, I heard an urgent voice from somewhere.

And after a while.

A man who was scowling at his face jumped up and stopped in front of Yoohyun Kim.

“West, we've got massive movement in the perimeter! ”

Kim Yoohyun immediately fixed his face and stared at the direction in which the man ran.

“West and large? ”

“Yes, yes! What do you want to do?”

“Tell everyone to stand down. Users make rapid progress around where I stand. We need to be prepared. ”

“I understand.”

Is Yoohyun Kim's unwavering instructions reliable? The color flashes on the man's face, and he immediately turns around and starts turning back.

“I'm exhausted. Stop torturing me. ”

“Ai, Clan Lord. What am I...? … Yes.”

I ran away without shouting that I saw Yoohyun Kim's face.

Less than five minutes later, the camp has been decimated. The atmosphere that was loosening a bit began to feel tense, like when.

Yoohyun Kim also slowly looked west, feeling the mood subsiding.

'I wonder which one they are.'

The vengeance of the dinosaur monsters that were exterminated yesterday? Or a Giant or a Necromancer?

Or the advent of a new monster?

The answer was that it didn't take long to find out.

- Throw it, throw it!

Suddenly, you hear a familiar monstrosity, and there's an enormous wind that can shake the western forest.

Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter! Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter!

At the same time, something big suddenly rose into the sky.

There was more than one thing.

Just as darkness covered the sky, tens or hundreds of black shadows rose with wings and covered the sky.

“Freak! Freak! There's a bunch of monsters! ”

Someone screams at the sky.

As the commotion deepened, only Yoohyun Kim gazed at the sky with unshakeable eyes.

Phew. You barely saved it at 1: 00.

For the monsters that appear in three regions this time, we've put together some fun settings for each one. I hope you're enjoying yourself.:)

Then have fun reading it, and have a good night._(__)_
