The war we don’t know about (4)

Asmodian.

A half-blood child born between a demon and a human.

With the blood of two races mixed, they are inevitably born with two selves.

The human ego and the beast’s ego.

Normally, the human ego becomes the owner of the body, but the moment the body is exposed to demonic energy, the sleeping demon’s blood awakens and the rest of the ego awakens.

Since the two selves cannot coexist, demons are destined to have two selves fight over one body from birth.

“Cough Cough…”

And the demonic occupied land surrounded by dense demonic energy was like a land filled with poison fog to Cynthia.

The blood that reacted with Magi boiled as if it would wake up any moment, but Cynthia gently suppressed the Beast’s power with her magical powers.

As if to soothe and soothe a child, the growling aura calmly swirled in the blood thanks to Cynthia’s magical power.

“Sinni. Are you okay?”

“Um… I think it’s fine.”

It was a method that would have been unimaginable in the past, but now it can be done simply with a little concentration.

Kang Yoo-jin’s subject, ‘Magic Mathematics’, starts with the basics of how to efficiently handle magical powers.

Magic and magic are different energies, but the way they handle them is similar, so they were able to apply the same method, and Cynthia was able to effectively control the power of the demons that coexisted inside her.

“Something… it’s like soothing a disobedient puppy.”

Cynthia’s demonic ego was quieter than expected.

Although it was fierce, he did not reject Cynthia’s magical power that gently stroked him, but accepted it.

Considering that most of the monster’s egos couldn’t communicate, Cynthia was on the lucky side.

“Isn’t it as hard as before?”

“Yes. I’ve gotten used to it. Professor’s lectures seem to be more effective than I thought.”

The magical power management method of Great Mathematics was very effective in controlling the demon’s blood.

This is probably natural, because Kang Yoo-jin’s method of using magic includes the number of cases called ‘magic’.

He saw his lover, who was already a demon, devoured by the ego of the demon.

At the time, he was still immature and didn’t know how to suppress demonic energy, but he learned how to complete mind control.

That’s why he inserted a method to control demonic energy into anti-magic science even though he knew it was a trace of regret.

It must have been a consideration for one Cynthia taking her class.

“If you think about it, our professor’s personality is a bit… no, he’s a bit scary, but isn’t he quite kind?”

“yes···.”

If you bring a question, he will answer it sincerely, and if you want to get stuck on something, he will teach you without overdoing it.

The tone that comes out of the process is scary, but if you think about it, he was always a professor who cared about everything the students needed.

“It would be nice if you could change the way you speak. Then wouldn’t the kids like the professor more?”

“Um… that’s right.”

Cynthia accepted Encia’s complaint with a smile, but actually liked her the way she was now.

If he treats students more gently and becomes more popular.

For some reason, I think the current interest coming to me will diminish.

‘I like now…’

As a demon, she was always the target of bullying even at the academy.

Now, with Kang Yoo-jin’s help, he has escaped being bullied, but he is still close to his peers.

We do assignments together and exchange studies, but that’s all.

They were still looking at Cynthia, a demon, with colored glasses.

The only people at the academy who looked at her without discrimination were Estelle, Ensia, and Professor Yujin Kang.

“Are you okay? Your complexion isn’t good?”

“Ummm…it’s nothing.”

Cynthia tried to smile.

Ansia is kind.

Although Estelle was blunt, she had become a kind friend now.

However, if you go out into the street, you will still be greeted with humble eyes from all directions.

He didn’t do anything wrong, but his birth as a demon itself became a sin.

A long time had already passed, but Cynthia was still hurt by that kind of gaze, and it was sad to endure.

“Let’s finish assembling. Mister Kim Yong, please bring the part A-12.”

“Yes, little lady!”

Cynthia smiled brightly while hiding such sorrow deep in her heart.

“Then, if I just check this one last time…”

pop-

And, the sound stopped.

Before you even have time to question your deafened hearing, the world becomes blurry as if paint is smearing.

‘uh···.’

Tilted – The body tilted.

As the ground approaches, consciousness darkens.

‘Eh… why are you like this…’

With the question spreading like a ripple, Cynthia’s consciousness sank into a deep abyss.

got caught

Tarantula succeeded in driving the demon’s mind to the bottom of unconsciousness with the mental attack he had unfolded.

“Become a witch like this.”

The human mind is fragile.

Even more so, if it is a young mind, it will collapse in an instant with a single mental attack like this.

If so.

The demonic ego will take its place in the empty place where the human ego collapsed.

I don’t know what kind of dragon blood that demon tribe was born with, but there should be enough to confuse the party that came with me.

“Cluck. Stupid Jirogo.”

To bring demons to the land of demons.

They probably don’t know that demons are fatal to demons.

It was clear that he didn’t even care about the circumstances of the demons.

“Shall we go and see…”

After a while, I had a pleasant sighting.

He raises his body in excitement, and expresses his doubts about an energy that is suddenly approaching.

“···Well?”

is human

A human sign is getting closer.

One of the intruders who set foot in the garrison.

An unidentified human was coming towards the tarantula in a straight line.

‘What?’

I’m not sure how you found it.

It’s not difficult to feel his aura no matter where you are stationed.

The strange thing is, that human is coming here ‘alone’.

‘Am I out of my mind?’

What is here is the highest level of magic.

He is one of the servants of Queen Arachne, and he is one of the most powerful spiders outside of her.

You wouldn’t know that, but the opponent was approaching this place alone.

“what···.”

Quaang-!

At that time, a loud gunshot rang out in the place where he was staying.

flashes and riots.

The gunshots roared through the air and reached his ears through dense cobwebs.

At the same time, the other arachnids living here began to rapidly dwindle.

“What···?”

one. two.

Consciousness connected to the sympathetic nervous system disappears.

Gunshots and flashes exploded, and one of your men disappeared.

“What is it? What’s happening?”

I shouted out in doubt, but there was no answer.

weird.

In this place, besides himself, there would be two upper-class, five upper-intermediate, and hundreds of fighting entities.

As they were dispatched to manage the Balaur, each and every one of them must be elite, but the intruder was killing those subordinates at a speed close to slaughter.

─Kieek! Keye!!

The upper middle class died, and now the upper class is pushed back.

No matter how urgent it was, Aragos, a high-level entity, was screaming from afar without even thinking about reporting it.

bang- bang-

Gunshots like gunfire rained down endlessly.

Something breaks and explodes.

The sympathetic nervous system is silent, but the roar from beyond the shelter continued uninterrupted.

and after some time

All sounds around me stopped.

“…You’re making trouble.”

voice.

Breaking through the silence, a single voice rings in my ears.

A gloomy voice as if the head were ringing an alarm bell.

Upon hearing the voice, the tarantula felt the hairs on its body stand up.

‘Are you afraid? I?’

who is that

Filled with doubts, he opened his mouth wide when he saw a person appearing before long.

“you···.”

It was a hunter covered in pitch black.

Black magic and white holy power.

It seemed to have moved the image of the ‘Grim Reaper’ into reality, scattering two types of energy like ghosts.

How could I not know that look?

He is the most feared being to Witch Beasts, and a great enemy who is respected despite being an enemy.

A monster who killed Diablo, the king of dragons, and imprisoned Baltazar, the king of shadows.

“Preparing… the Shinigami.”

At Yujin Kang’s appearance, the tarantula felt its hair turn white.

“All the same bugs are annoying people. Isn’t that petty pride not allowing them to attack all at once?”

“…why are you here?”

“Because there is a witch here.”

With every gesture of his hand and every word of his voice, mana and holy power mingled and shook.

Seeing that, Tarantula finally understood the reason why he couldn’t read humans’ magical powers.

‘It must have been because of that holy power…’

Unidentified holy power emitted by Yujin Kang.

It was blending into the garrison’s atmosphere, disrupting their sensor networks.

Even if you don’t know the magic of the same demon, the information about the magic that humans have has been erased by the holy power, so you can’t tell who is who.

“… No matter how you say it, do you think you can deal with me alone?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done.”

he responded calmly.

“I killed the ghost tribe’s Omen even when I was much weaker than now.

Even in the back, there are Karina and Rezzera, who are classified as the same superlative, as well as Kim Yong, who is of the upper class, and 3 more juniors of the upper middle class.

Unless he moved the dragons, there was no chance of winning.

“I’ll give you a choice.”

He pointed the gun and muttered.

“If you surrender here, I will let you go without pain.”

“What if we fight?”

“I will die painfully.”

In the end, it was said that death is the same.

Laughter came out.

Death isn’t scary.

For the sake of the queen and the Spider Clan, he would have been willing to die.

What he found absurd was his own situation, which had already been blocked from reporting.

‘Did they even take over the sympathetic nervous system of the spiders?’

The network connected to Queen Arachne was already down.

Yujin Kang’s mental control is scattering consciousness information like a jammer.

“damn···.”

If I had noticed in advance, if I had known even a minute in advance, I wouldn’t have been put in such a desperate situation.

Kang Yoo-jin’s magic information, ‘ghost call’, was not heard because it was covered by the holy power.

At the same time, holy power was not felt because it was covered by magical power.

With his two powers, he made the Spider Tribe’s sensor network completely useless.

“Did you choose?”

“I have only one answer to give.”

The tarantula, which raised its huge body, stood in front of Yujin Kang, shaking the residence.

“I will kill you and present your head to the queen.”

“You’re going to die painfully. It’s a good choice.”

The reaction was that he was happy that he didn’t have to kill for nothing.

He shuddered with shudders and fear piercing his whole body as he faced clear hostility toward the Witchbeast.

‘However, not everything will go your way.’

Demons who came together.

You don’t know that it was swept away by its own mind attack.

If the demons go mad and start rampaging, the humans who came with them will not be able to avoid death, even if they don’t know about the dragons.

Dragons, those stupid ones, can’t kill their own kin, and can’t see their kin being killed.

I won’t be able to watch my blood relatives get hurt by the human’s counterattack.

“Come, prepare the death god.”

black

everything is black

Cynthia was left alone in the blinding darkness.

“Sister…? Enshi…?”

Calling out people’s names, her voice only echoed hollowly in the darkness.

I was terrified.

Where are you?

What happened?

Behind the tail-biting question, fear welled up.

Cynthia, who had been trembling in fear for a long time, called one person as if holding on to her last hope.

“professor!!”

However, Kang Yoo-jin, who always appeared to help, did not respond this time.

The earnest cry became a fleeting echo, only to scatter into the endless abyss.

“why···.”

Tears well up.

Around the time when the beating of the two bats resonated loudly like a drum and the whole body began to tremble.

someone said

“No one comes when I call.”

“Hick!”

Cynthia was frightened by the sudden answer and stepped back.

Shocked to the point of stopping her heart, she turned around with a pale, bloodless face.

There, in contrast to the darkness, there was a girl who was so different and vivid.

“···uh?”

The moment she saw it, Cynthia was at a loss for words.

Same height, same body type, same face.

There was a girl who looked just like her in everything.

However, the straight-slit eye and the pair of horns growing on its head prove that it is not the original Cynthia.

“hi.”

“·······.”

Two girls faced each other in the dark.

The two gazes crossed and caught each other’s existence in their eyes.

“You···.”

Cynthia’s shaking voice continued quietly.

“Who is it···?”
