I... ...Marahamka...... even though I die here...... this land will be forever....be cursed, suffer...….

“…….”

A gruesome voice, as if you'd like to take off your eardrums and wash them.

At the end of the sentence, no further voice could be heard, but Bulkan's voice, which kept coming to mind, caught him in his heart because he could not hear his cursed voice.

Vulcan opened his penis and looked around him.

Clearly, the concentration has become thicker than in the old days when magi was almost felt.

But that's all.

There seemed to be no apparent problem.

In comparison to such uncertain concerns, the good thing was, the fact that the devil had died.

Never a bad situation.

But the Vulcan remained in the sky for a long time, unable to vent its unpleasant feelings.

Two, two, two, two.

Helicopters rushed through the gap to cover the appearance of the Devil Man and came near him.

While they were making noise and shooting, the Vulcan didn't even think to move.

So the showdown with the devil ended, and the earth seemed to have been saved.

But it wasn't quite over yet.

The curse of the Devil began shortly after.

*

Some time after the devil's death.

The world has changed rapidly.

When the devil died, the scattered maggots created numerous monsters on Earth.

Existing animals were monsterized under the influence of magi, and some were conceived by magi itself.

And all sorts of demons who ran out of the open portal.

The earth has become a mess because of the new uninvited guest.

The only comfort is that most of them can be wiped out by the firepower of modern weapons.

But it was almost impossible to deal directly with the rapidly popping monsters and demons from all over the world, and mankind had to spend each day in fear as if it had happened in a world war.

Besides, that wasn't the end.

Occasionally, powerful beings that appear beyond human knowledge to judgeable by human common sense.

When a fearsome monster, which would only appear in ancient myths, advanced into the city, there was no way to fix it.

In order to deal with it, one must be prepared to co-destruct like one city and pour out firepower, as it was not as easy as it sounds.

Fortunately, thanks to the presence of the real-life hero Devil Man, many large monsters could be safely handled, but there was a limit for just one to stop the whole world.

Moreover, the number of monsters that appeared as the earth became encroached upon the magi increased, leaving mankind on the verge of losing its glorious civilization and gradually declining.

A situation so terrible as to be considered a curse as the devil said.

At this rate, the earth seemed to struggle with pain forever, as Marahamka thought.

But it wasn't.

Maggie keeps eating the earth.

a newly awakened force to counter it

A change has come to Earth, a planet where no seeds of reason existed.

Mana, its mysterious power, began to spring up all over the earth.

Like the self-purification of pollutants naturally, the earth gradually began to resist evil forces through mana, and the rapidly immerged earth could maintain its balance without being eroded any longer.

Then, gradually, people appeared affected by the new forces of the earth.

It's as if there are other levels of wizards, or people who have special abilities such as the people of the forest, that have begun to emerge.

They began to fight bravely against the multitude of monsters threatening their surroundings, while marveling at their own strength different from others.

There were many people who unfortunately lost their lives in the process, but there were also many who developed their abilities by continuing their fierce battles with monsters.

One by one, those who have the ability to praise "heroes" have been born, performing defense in areas that are difficult for the modern military to cover.

Heroes, or beings called awakening.

With them, the earth entered a new era, and so 150 years passed.

"Argh!"

A innocent woman in her 20s with long straight hair screamed out of nowhere.

People around her, as usual, paid attention to the woman, and soon learned why she screamed.

A black portal emerging in the heart of the city.

In a moment, demons who consider humans as a meal were about to rush out of there, so it seemed natural for women to scream.

However, the reaction of the rest of the people looking at the portal was all grim.

"What, are you yelling about that?”

"Maybe not."

"Yes, not once or twice on the portal."

"What's wrong with you, kid?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. It just popped up right in front of my eyes and I was surprised.”

Even a woman who screamed admitted her mistake and walked leisurely down the street.

At the time of the devil's curse, everyone fled in confusion, but 150 years later, things were very different.

soldiers armed with modern weapons spread throughout the country

And a number of state-certified archers who can cope much more flexibly than they do.

It was because they were guarding civilians in shifts around the clock.

Moreover, since the Republic of Korea was a country with more awakening than landmass, the chances of being damaged by the newly created portal were close to zero percent.

Sure enough, the area around the portal was completely controlled by awakening people who ran five minutes after the incident, and people gradually lost interest.

Han Jae-hyun, the general manager of the Awakening Army, said.

"Inject mana and activate it quickly.

"Yes."

Two awakening men who, at his command, approach the portal.

They slowly concentrated their minds to lift the mana in their bodies, gradually draining it toward the black portal.

In some cases, the portal created by Maggie was not activated after two or three days.

The waiting time had led to a complete waste, so the intention was to force the demons out by injecting mana.

After such a short time, the evil demons began to pop out one by one.

Red-skinned, horned small demons with arrow-shaped tails.

A demon, holding a trident, opened his mouth while looking around with a puzzled look.

"Huh? Where am I?"

"It's hell."

Han Jae-hyun, who answered lightly to the devil's words, crossed his hands lightly.

Then five small demons lost their lives with their necks turned 180 degrees.

a smack of thunder

The rest of the demons screamed in confusion when they saw their colleagues dying without even screaming properly.

"Argh! Let's run!"

"He's stronger than us! We have to run!"

But the surrounding area is already surrounded by awakening people.

The demons were killed in a mass of magic pouring at them and with a mournful scream.

The same was true of those who followed suit.

Sometimes a threat bigger than a small devil popped up, but it failed to overcome the power of Han Jae-hyun, a B-class awakening who uses psychokinesis.

He dealt with demons flowing out of the portal, even taking the time to control his mana to avoid breaking things around him.

A black portal that ends an hour of one-sided slaughter and soon loses its strength and disappears.

The awakening who saw it said, wiping the sweat off their foreheads.

"Hoo, it's over.”

"Well, as expected, only the smallpox came out.”

"If I get a special allowance, I'm going to go eat beef...….”

"Quiet. Mr. Lee, take two or so people and wait for the body collection to arrive. I'll take a unit and keep going."

"Yes."

Demons and monsters formerly thought to be of no good value.

But after it was discovered that the mana stone in their bodies contained enormous amounts of energy, they began to be spotlighted as next-generation resources, not as a disaster that claimed human lives.

Therefore, there were some people who secretly stole some of the dead bodies of the devil, but Lee Kyung-woo was a military awakening and was most trusted by him.

He left without a grain of worry.

Those who watched them sweep the demons were also scattered in all directions, nodding their heads as if the good spectacle had ended.

It's hard to say that it's peaceful or not.

What was certain was that it was far from a world full of pain that the devil intended.

Of course, the earth was not completely free from the curse of the devil.

This is because more than 99.9 percent of advanced countries, including the U.S. and Western Europe, were safe from the threat of demons and monsters, while smaller countries were not.

They were guaranteed minimum safety by handing over the rights to the dead bodies of monsters in tears and mustard, but in the first place, great powers interested only in resources did not completely prevent human casualties.

The shameless men who say they had no choice but to retreat for the preservation of their forces, regardless of the damage caused by the civilians, when the incident was over, came back again and said they had no choice.

Representatives of Third World countries wanted to spit on their unlucky faces, but they couldn't because without their help, the country was in a state of limbo for small and medium-sized monsters.

There was no other way but just to assuage discontent and curse them out of hearing.

But they had a savior, too.

Devil Man, who has already been active for 200 years and has contributed to world peace, was the hope of everyone.

People all over the world were still enthusiastic about Devillman, seeing him destroy without a trace of large monsters that were hard to deal with even with modern firearms, which appeared two or three times a year.

No, to the extent that he is more popular than ever before.

Although some ignorant people pointed out that "the damage was caused by the occasional belated arrival of the Devil Man," it quickly disappeared under criticism from far more people.

Vulcan also enjoyed their interest and love.

When his wife, sister and other relatives were all killed and his grandson was convinced he could take care of himself, Vulcan lived a new life after disguising himself as death.

A life that usually enjoys all kinds of luxury and pleasure as a rich man and protects people from dangerous monsters and demons around the world once a month.

Money, honor, women, public interest.

It was simply a splendid life with what everyone envied in one hand.

It's not bad for a peaceful, quiet life ahead of you, but...... it's not bad now.’

So Vulcan lived for many years and enjoyed, enjoyed, and coveted all that man could enjoy.

When asked who is the happiest person on Earth, I can answer myself without hesitation.

But... ...

Was the old saying, "Even a flower song that is pleasant to listen to once or twice?" correct?

Now, 150 years after King Ma'an's death, Vulcan was spending an extraordinarily boring day by day.

"Ha......."

A deep sigh came from his mouth.

Collecting super cars like collecting toy cars and actually taking over and running baseball clubs, not in games.

Nothing else was interesting anymore.

At least the time he was interested was when he dealt with a large monster that humans in the lower world couldn't handle, but their level didn't exceed 200 at best.

Even if they give themselves all kinds of handicaps and de-buffes, they will not be a match.

Having experienced all the stimuli available in the summer, Vulcan had such meaningless days, gradually losing its laughter and vitality.

And then, one day.

While rolling around feeling the soft touch of the finest bed, he quietly recited to himself.

"......I think it's time to leave."
