Around that time, in the Summon Room....

“W-what does that mean? ”

Kim Yoohyun stuttered without even knowing it. Shoot at the altar in front of the target with the intense light of disbelief. The target's gaze is blindfolded. With ten mouths full of embarrassing lights like they have nothing to say.

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

Rarely, I shouted as Yoohyun Kim. It sounded almost grotesque.

“It's not even a hard request! I'm just asking you to move a man! How hard can that be? ”

I didn't know that once the castle started, it stopped like a river.

“What? Not a wish? Not even a zero code? ”

The right arm, which was stretched out to the altar, begins to tremble with the sight of his eyes. In the tightly clasped hands, a ball of blue glass is caught as if it were crumbling.

“Ha! Yes. I'd have gotten a zero code anyway. What about Soo-hyun? ”

Kim Yoohyun who talked to me there took a deep breath and looked at the angel of the altar as if he were going to kill him.

I don't know if I could stand the sight of a man anymore, or if I could just ignore that.

The user gently opens its eyes to meet the target with sad eyes. Then I opened my mouth quietly.

“I told you before.... Your request to move Kim Soo-hyun here cannot be fulfilled. ”

“So with a zero code...! ”

“Zero code enables the fulfillment of user Kim Yoo-hyun's request. I didn't say it was impossible. It was just.... It was hard for me at the moment. ”

“Damn it, Nimmy! ”

At that moment, Seraph's head turns to the side with a thump. The horse repeats itself like a parrot, and Kim Yoohyun throws a zero-code in his hand. Moreover, when I got dizzy, I mixed up my nasty swearing words. It was a sign that Yoohyun Kim was extremely angry.

Serrap shows no reaction, even though it was an act he would never have imagined. The user rolls the zero-code back carefully, then looks back at the target with a familiar look.

Despite his transgressions, there is no shortage of man's vigor.

Instead of getting angry, Seraph understood Kim Yoohyun's request for ten minutes. Leaving merely a blood relationship, I ran to death with only one hope, but I was so frustrated that I bumped into a wall I didn't think of.

It's just that they don't accept reality and they don't understand it.

Sis emphasized that Seraph should always be careful with Kim Soo-hyun.

‘Zero Code is a universal crystal that achieves everything a user desires. ’

‘But a god like Hwa Hwa or Tanatos can resist even some of the orders of the zero-code if he so wishes. ’

‘Even if the order is fulfilled, the time leading up to the result is not the same. ’

‘Just by luring Tanatos in, demons can create countless variables. User Kim Su-hyun should always be cautious and aware of this. ’

In other words, the command of the zero-code meant that both humans and gods could be included in the category, but never in the same line. Especially if it's a god as tall as a hearth or Tanatos.

It is possible to bring Kim Soo-hyun with zero code.

But the problem is, even the devil knows that.

In fact, Kim Soo-hyun was already forced to accept one piece of Tanatos. That is, if you turn back the clock or bring in Kim Soo-hyun, even if there is a chance that the zero-code's order will be executed, Tanatos will notice immediately, and if so, Kim Soo-hyun's life cannot be guaranteed.

That's why Seraph refuses to use the zero code. Even if it takes less than a minute to break through the resistance, who's to say what will happen in the meantime?

“What is the power of the Almighty...? You can't even do that... ”

At that time, Yoohyun Kim knelt down suddenly to see if his legs had loosened.

“I'd rather…. If I had arrived earlier.... ”

A self-condemning voice followed, but even if I arrived early, the results would be the same.

No, even if the Devil had some sort of purpose, he wouldn't have been able to resurrect Kim Soo-hyun in the end.

As long as he's alive, there's a chance.

Seraph thinks so, but he doesn't open his mouth. Because I know it's like pouring oil on a house on fire.

In the end, he looked at the man who was constantly muttering as if he had been seduced by something. He lowered his head quietly.

How long has it been?

I'm stuck in a dark space all the time, and even the concept of time is fading because my limbs are tied together.

Sometimes it feels like someone's coming and going, but that's it. We were completely isolated from the outside. All I could do in this situation was think.

After Tanatos left, you continue to organize and organize your thoughts during the chaos. Han Soyoung did not try to talk too hard to see if she had read my condition.

Two words that bothered me once I heard them. One was that the devil asked me to save him. And the other is that if things go well, I'll let you go safely.

At first, I didn't understand why he saved my life, but when I connected these two words, I realized something was off.

It wasn't hard to think.

Tanatos' words nudge that the Devil has not given up yet. Furthermore, their goal is always to focus on obtaining the zero-code, and from the devil's point of view, we are no more or less a nuisance.

In other words, there was only one answer. Satan saved me as a hostage. On condition of my survival and safe return, I will try to negotiate with my brother who has a zero code. In the end, it's kind of an exchange.

Moreover, it seems that it's not just the two of us who are being held captive by Han Soyoung. If I reveal my brother's relationship with one of the other prisoners, it is likely that Satan is worth trying.

It was really ironic. After a series of speculations, I felt a desire to save him and a contradictory feeling that I didn't want him to just come.

But if I were in your shoes, I probably wouldn't have responded.

Even if they seduce you with sweet words, there is an essence to it. You believe in demons and you work with them? The dog that passed by laughs. We didn't just refuse to wipe out the angels together.

Anyway, you have the right to decide, not me. I don't doubt your abilities...

Well, honestly, it's hard for me to predict how it's going to come out. I hope someone gives me the right brakes....

I don't know.

It just feels like everything's falling apart.

“Phew... ”

I took a long sigh by myself.

‘Hwa Hwa.’

Thought I'd talk to him, too.

Ever since I woke up, Hwa hasn't opened her mouth. I called countless times, but I never heard a reply.

I was worried that the sympathy might be gone, but I don't think so. I can still feel the warm and heavy familiar energy in my heart.

Perhaps he was greatly shocked by the removal of the Seal Gin, or Tanatos, who had recovered his strength, played a trick on him. Well, if it wasn't for him or me, he might have been mad at me for reading my thoughts the last time. I don't think that's really possible.

... Anyway, what do we do now?

“ ……? ”

It was then.

While I was in reminiscence, I felt a stare.

“How…. How to…."

Kim Yoohyun recounted the elongated soliloquy with his body buried in a chair. Your left hand is holding the zero-code tightly, and your right hand is trembling and pounding on your desk.

I have no choice. Last burial, no. Summons user Kim Soo-hyun to Atlanta with an order of 'Zero Code' which I thought was the only one. ’After the method was abolished, in fact, bringing Kim Soo-hyun safely became a foam.

Then there's only one way left.

Even if you go to war again, you will have no choice but to reclaim it.

It's easy to say, of course. The problem is how to implement it, but in many ways, I don't think of it as a very sharp way. Kim Yoo-hyun didn't even know how many allies survived.

“Shit…. ”

Dozens of assumptions are terribly sunk into the water.

The Devil is the problem, and Tanatos is the problem. Particularly, Satan was obstinate and persistent enough to curse. I can just give up if I get distracted, but I am excellent at finding holes that will appear in any situation. At this point, I even admired the users who won against the Devil during the round.

“Phew... Phew..."

Kim Yoohyun was breathing according to his instincts, even though he was turning his head fiercely without stopping for a second. If I didn't do this, my heart would burst open.

Then.

“… Huh? ”

Suddenly, a group of blue lights flashed his face intermittently. A communication bead on one side of your desk flickers. Kim Yoohyun stared blankly, hurrying into his magic. Then the bead flashes a small video and reveals the appearance of someone.

“The Shadow Queen? ”

(Yes, sir.)

As soon as Yoohyun Kim who recognized me opened his mouth, Yeon-ju also slightly nodded. However, Yoohyun Kim could sense that something had happened because he felt confused.

(I'm sorry... I have a job for you.)

“No, it's not. I'm sorry, I'll be right there. Where is it?"

Kim Yoohyun stood up in a hurry because he told me not to know anything about the future.

However.

(No)

Goonju slowly shakes his head.

(You don't have to come. I just sent them there.)

“Yes? Sent it? ”

When Yoohyun Kim who was wearing the robe stopped, he suddenly slashed his brows.

(A messenger came from the Devil.)

Let's do it.

“... Messenger? ”

Kim Yoo-hyun's eyes became dizzy.

Meanwhile, the same time.

In the Mercenary Castle, Imhanna sighs deeply and goes up the stairs. I finally returned to the castle I had dreamed of, but my face was not bright at all. Who's going to smile in this situation...?

Soon after, she entered the hallway, quietly opened the visit and looked inside. I carefully walked and sat on a chair placed next to the bed, and I was crushed by a dying anvil lying on the seat. Her eyes are tightly closed, but she breathes out something cold and sweats her brow.

Now, of course, we're done with the treatments and no apparent problems.

But that's why I was more worried.

Occasionally, I poured out a healing spell and even used two bottles of Elixir. At this point, there may be a slight reaction, but Ansol is still unconscious. Moreover, I had just switched with the new Jae Ryong and heard that I didn't see any difference from the beginning.

‘Maybe he was hit by the brain or soul...' ’

“What was I thinking? ”

Hannah is furious and shakes her head beating her temples. Then he picks up a clean cloth and starts wiping his sweaty forehead.

“Phew…. Sola, are you sorry? I had a strange thought on my own... Clumsy posting.”

I knew I couldn't be listening, but I laughed and talked.

“But our brush... You'll get up soon, right? Isn't that right? ”

And he looks close to his face with a mixture of worry and affection.

It was that moment.

Flash!

“Mommy!”

Immediately, Hannah slammed her butt with screams, her arms wide open.

“Eh, eh? ”

In the middle of the day, the dazed eyes stare up at the bed.

Until just a moment ago, the two eyes that were clearly closed suddenly opened up in horror. I thought of kissing my face on my forehead, but Ansol's eyes suddenly opened right before my nose. So don't be surprised.

But that wasn't the point.

After a while.

“Cow, Sola...? ”

Ansol is slow.

“ ……. ”

However, he gave rise to his upper body while bleeding out a peculiar sensation during his disappearance.
