chapter 107
‘I didn’t know that Maegu’s <hallucination> ability had such an application.’
Maegu’s <hallucination> ability doesn’t stop at simply tricking the eyes to create a fake that looks just like the real one.
Perhaps the method he is using now is closer to the essence of Maegoo’s ability called <hallucination>.
‘Although there was a medium of sculpture, Mae-gu was able to invite me into his world of images. It might have something to do with this ability.’
The same goes for being able to break into Anton’s mental world, which was possessed by Doouk.
Although they call it <hallucinations>, it was clear that they were hiding something more than that.
As long as it was intentionally hidden, I don’t think they would tell me even if I asked.
Wouldn’t he say, ‘If you’re that curious, I’ll tell you if we sign the main contract’?
It seems that it hasn’t been long since Maegu started negotiating.
Changes began to appear in the half-man’s body.
“Ughhhh… !”
His pupils, which had a hazy expression, repeated contraction and expansion.
His eyes fluttered, and foam bubbled from his mouth.
In an instant, his hair turned white.
Unlike the appearance of a half-man who seemed to have aged 30 years in that short time.
Maegu had a somewhat relaxed expression on his face.
[It’s done.]
“Are you done already?”
[He’s an expert at playing with people’s minds. It was broken in moderation according to your request.]
“Looks like it’s only been a few seconds?”
[Several months must have passed in this guy’s head. Do you need a detailed explanation of what you did?]
“No, you don’t have to.”
I decided not to ask what he showed me.
I feel like I’m just going to throw myself away.
I doubted whether my question could be answered in this state, but you’ll have to check it yourself.
Beyond my fear, I asked him who was in a state close to exhaustion.
“Name and affiliation.”
“… Kwon Tae-soo. A second-class member of the Church of Gluttony.”
I don’t know how, and I don’t want to know.

Just as I requested, he had broken his mind just enough to answer the question.
The preceding question was just to see if you could answer my question.
What I really wanted to ask is this.
“What is your purpose for coming here?”
“The purpose is… To seize the gates of hell.”
yes, that was it
It’s a difference from the original, and a reason why devil worshipers move.
If it was the door to hell, it was a sufficient answer.
The Gates of Hell were originally used by devil worshipers.
I don’t know all the ways to use it, but of course I can convey the voice of the Great Devil.
Even though it was a short time, he made it so that he could dwell in the body of an apostle.
If you’re a devil worshiper, it’s an artifact that will make your mouth water.
‘I’ve been aiming for that. This is it.’
Because I have no place to put the gates of hell.
He had asked Principal Kim Cheol to take charge of the captured Hell’s Gate.
The Gates of Hell are probably kept in the school’s treasury or in his secret storage.
Apart from the original thief, he must have moved to steal things during the festival.
I kept questioning him.
“How many people have infiltrated the hero academy to steal the gates of hell?”
“… Eight.”
“Are eight people over? Is there any additional support or something?”
“… additional assistance. Thirty half-mans of the church.”
Thirty half-mans at this point.
The Church of Gourmet also moved greatly, as if using force.
‘If I go directly to the apostles of the Church of Gluttony here, it will be similar to the strength of the Church of Jealousy during practice.’
Even if the apostle of the great devil in charge of gluttony does not act directly.
The skills of this guy who infiltrated first as the first team will not be inferior to the others who will come later.
Thirty-eight half-horses equivalent to at least C-class.
‘There are many.’
The eight or so people who have infiltrated He:on could do it on their own.
If 30 people were added to that, even with the help of <Demon Hunter>, I couldn’t handle it alone.
“You’d better turn this over to the school.”
This guy can be handed over as evidence and reference.
As he used the demonic power to turn into a half-man, the color of his eyes reversed and his skin turned black.
You’ll know right away that this guy is a devil worshiper.
The problem is that while taking him, his appearance can cause unnecessary confusion.
“Hey, curl up a bit.”
“… yes.”
I stretched out the cloth cloth, wrapped it around the half-man’s body, and trimmed the outline a bit.
It doesn’t look like a big burden either.
“It’s okay.”
this moderate weight.
It was barely enough weight to carry without using mana.
It would be okay to call Ki-Bum Moon, who is working hard today as a visitor guide and guard, and hand it over to the student council.
Considering the urgency of the incident, it was better to report directly to the top.
-Are you at school now? If you are in school, I would like to see you right now. This is an issue that needs to be addressed urgently.
I texted Principal Chul Kim.
I know you are in the school because of incident response and VIP response.
I’ll check the text soon.
– It’s in the principal’s office. Come and find it.
A reply came straight away from Principal Kim Cheol.
I carried the well-wrapped half horse like a burden.
Although there were some people who looked at me with strange eyes as I was carrying a large load.
I checked the armband on my arm and handed it over casually.
this is the power of power.
It was good that I joined the student council.
* * *
Standing in front of the principal’s office door, I knocked on the door.
“May I come in?”
“okay.”
I went into the principal’s office at the words of Principal Kim Cheol coming from inside the door.
“I thought you were alone. You have guests.”
Kim Chul wasn’t the only one in the principal’s office.
The man who appeared to be having a conversation with Kim Cheol was someone I knew.
he talked to me first
“Is this the second time you saw it last time?”
“You are the secretary of the Association, Yushin Kim, right? long time no see.”
Principal Kim Cheol waved his hand at me and said,
“This guy is not a guest. He’s a bad quality merchant.”
“I didn’t know you would say that.”
“He’s coming here and handing over only tricky things, but what else would you call him if he wasn’t a peddler?”
It seems that he has come to ask for a dungeon clearing, with a dungeon break imminent, not long before it overflows.
More than half of the 3rd years couldn’t even watch the festival, and they were attacking the dungeon from the outside.
2nd year also, as soon as the festival is over, I’ll start raiding the dungeon.
The seniors will work hard on the dungeon he handed over this time.
Although the first graders, including me, will be in the same situation when they enter the second grade.
“I called because it was an urgent matter. What’s going on. Does it have anything to do with the burden you are carrying?”
“yes.”
A thousand words are worth seeing, and before explaining, he put the half-man inside of Mubongcheon on the floor.
““… … !””
Both of their eyes widened for an instant.
I was wary of the devil worshipers who came out from within the Mubongcheon.
After confirming that he was incapacitated, he let go of his guard.
“Yeah, I guess I need an explanation. Secretary Yushin Kim, you… .”
“I think this has a lot to do with our association. Would it be okay if we listened together?”
“Yes, do as you please.”
I explained to them what I had gleaned from the devil worshipers.
After hearing the explanation, Principal Kim Chul rubbed his forehead once, then continued with a sigh.
“If it’s the gates of hell, the things that came out of that incident. Are you talking about what you entrusted to me?”
“Unless you have two of the same thing.”
“Only a few people know that it is kept in the military academy that has been doing it. Are you an introvert again? under… .”
Kim Cheol let out a deep sigh.
As far as I know, there is no other instructor who has joined hands with a devil worshiper other than Minwoo Namgoong.
If you don’t know, you should ask about it.
I asked a question to the half-man who was still in a state of fascination.
“How did you guys find out that the gates of hell were at the Hero Academy?”
“The revelation has come down… .”
Fortunately, there were no insiders.
It’s something related to demons.
It wasn’t unusual for the Prime Devil to find out its location.
Considering the ability of Hell’s Gate, it was worth devising a plan to seize it even by giving a revelation.
The problem is if these guys moved because of the revelation.
They say that other devil worshipers other than the Cult of Gluttony may also be targeting this.
This time, instead of me, I asked Kim Yu-shin, a demon worshiper.
“Tell me where you are from.”
“that… .”
Rarely did he say anything.
It’s not because someone else asked the question.
It must be because there is a ban on answering the question Kim Yu-shin asked just now.
In addition to that, Kim Yu-shin asked a few questions.
There weren’t that many questions that could be answered properly.
“Thirty-eight, including this guy. May I take it from the case association?”
“Anyway, because of the festival, we lacked manpower. I was trying to pass it.”
“And the gates of hell these guys are aiming for. Please pass that on too.”
“I don’t think that’s something I can decide. It’s because it’s not mine.”
At Principal Kim Cheol’s words, Kim Yoo-shin’s eyes turned to me.
“Please transfer. Of course, I’m not asking for it bare-mouthed.”
Kim Yu-shin’s recommendation was appealing to me.
Hell’s Gate may be something that satanists lust after, but not to me.
It’s not something I can use, and unless there’s a guarantee that aiming for it will end once today.
There’s probably no better way to deal with Hell’s Gate than handing it over to the Association.
On top of that, you could even get paid in exchange for the gates of hell.
It was a business with nothing to lose for me.
