“There are limits to stopping monsters.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s expression hardened at Tae Ji-hyuk’s words.
Teachers at awakened high schools were running around with second and third graders to prevent non-awakened people living all over the world from being harmed by monsters.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk asked Tae Ji-hyuk’s words.
“If we don’t stop the monsters, who will save the citizens in danger?”
“I’m not saying we shouldn’t save our citizens. “I told you this because I thought it would be more efficient to destroy the gate itself rather than deal with the monsters that jump out of the gate.”
“If it were easy, we would have done it too.”
The person who answered this time was teacher Jiwon Choi.
“yes?”
“You may have seen the video that was uploaded a while ago. “Just as you need a key and seven party members to enter the final gate, there are conditions for entering and clearing the regular gate as well.”
Tae Ji-hyuk nodded at Teacher Choi Ji-won’s words.
Since they are teachers who have experienced the end of the world twice, they will certainly know about the Gate.
So I was more curious.
Instead of closing the gate to prevent monsters from coming out, why are you only dealing with the monsters that come out of the gate?
“Generally, 10 awakened people are needed to close one gate, and it usually takes about 3 days to close the gate.”
“yes?”
“You probably learned it at school. “In order to deal with monsters, you have to deal with boss monsters.”
“yes.”
“But it takes three days to get to the room where the boss monster appears.”
Tae Ji-hyuk thought about those words for a moment and then made an expression that he understood.
“I guess some people are already moving.”
“okay. Where are all the elite awakened members of the seven flying and crawling guilds now? There’s a reason why we take students with us to rescue citizens. “It was decided that the seven guilds would be responsible for closing the gate.”
“Sorry, I see.”
“However, the guys who went into the gate to see if there was some problem said that there was a gate where they couldn’t come out even after three days.”
At those words, Tae Ji-hyuk made a serious expression.
“yes?”
“It’s too early to tell. “I heard that it may take a few more days, so they decided to wait a little longer.”
Teacher Ji-won Choi continued what teacher Joo-hyuk Kang said.
“If the awakened people were wiped out at the gate… “It may become a little difficult to save the world again.”
“The final gate… “If we just close it, won’t everything be resolved?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk nodded to Tae Ji-hyuk’s question.
“that’s right. The demon spirit within it. It’s a problem that can be solved if we just catch him… … .”
The problem was that it was not easy to catch the demon.
Reminiscing about the day when the Seven Heroes were born and the day when the world was saved, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk entered each tube and watched Lee Si-woo in action.
“Will the Seven Heroes be able to catch a demon at the level of those they put forward as candidates? … .”
“Teacher Kang! “They say a monster has appeared again!”
At that time, a student came into the conference room and shouted.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk shouted at the student.
“Where is it?!”
“They say it’s near the Alchemy Guild!”
Tae Ji-hyuk, Kang Joo-hyuk, and Choi Ji-won began preparing to go out again.

“and.”
When we entered the Spirit Guild and headed to a place where a lot of suspicious packages were piled up, we could literally see a mountain of packages.
“This much delivery arrived?”
“huh. “There are so many different things inside.”
Hearing Claire’s words, Yunmir stepped forward and roughly opened a package. When I turned the opened box over, a heavy object fell out.
“This… brick?”
Why are bricks sent by courier?
Claire saw that and asked me.
“I was curious about what was in it, so I opened it, and there were all these useless things inside.”
“Yes.”
“But are there really any keys among these packages?”
At those words, I shook my head.
“I don’t know.”
“huh?”
“It was clear before… … .”
“It’s impossible to be certain. “I think I’ll have to look at everything first.”
“All of this?”
“I think it will be done quickly if we divide into teams.”
So we started unpacking the huge number of packages one by one.
***
After a few hours, we were able to check the items from the courier.
“I only have useless items?”
“There is nothing that looks like a key.”
I looked at the delivery boxes on the floor and the items that came out of the delivery.
I began to look through the items one by one in what was almost like a pile of trash.
“I don’t think there’s anything particularly important?”
Claire, who handles the four major spirits, said that none of these items seemed to be harmful to the spirits.
But I couldn’t give up.
The reason I am doing this is because a package would not have been sent like this for no reason at a time like this.
Clearly, someone sent this package with intent.
I was sure of that.
And that someone will be Rebellions.
‘Was it really a meaningless delivery?’
I looked closely with my magnifying glass, but there was nothing special to see.
“Siwoo?”
People who were watching what I was doing called me when I couldn’t seem to find anything as time passed.
“Lee Si-woo, stop now.”
Just when I was about to give up and turn around after hearing Dabin Hwang’s words, Godterkal spoke to me.
-Hey, does that look a little strange?
‘huh? what?’
Seeing that I couldn’t feel anything even when I looked at it with my hallucinogenic eyes, I asked Godterkal.
-Hey, that one. It is not an ordinary stone.
I narrowed my eyes when I saw what Godterkal was pointing at.
‘That… … .’
Fine demonic energy was gushing out from the stone.
“transplant… … .”
“wait for a sec.”
The amount of demonic energy leaking out was getting bigger and bigger.
I screamed when I saw that.
“Everyone get ready!”
The people who had questioned my shout for a moment began to take a fighting stance.
“why? “What do you have?”
“It’s a trap.”
It wasn’t the key.
I thought they were going to send the key to the spirit world, but that wasn’t the case.
Rebellions It seemed like these bastards just wanted to inflict damage on the seven guilds.
“That stone! “There is magic in that stone!!”
Ji-ing!
Quang!
A huge explosion erupted from the place where the goods from the delivery service were gathered.
“Aaaah!!”
“what?”
“what?!”
The stone broke apart and something dark came out of it.
The magi, which was really tiny, expanded in size as if it had never happened before and became the size of a person.
And what came out of there was… … .
“What, what? That guy… … .”
Claire seemed to know the guy sticking out of the rocks.
I also met that guy in a previous episode.
“Everyone, come to your senses.”
My friends around me started to get nervous at my words.
Even if it wasn’t my words, the magic energy emanating from him made my whole body tense.
“What is that… … .”
“It’s a demon. ”
“Demons?”
Demons are the limbs of a demon god and servants of the demon king. They appeared in the world.
7.
Claire looked at the demon sticking out of the stone with a serious expression.
I knew that when the demon seal was released, demons would appear.
However, it was a year after the world was destroyed that the demon came out.
That’s why I was planning to close the final gate before the demons appear in the world… … .
It seemed like I would have to change my plan.
The demon appeared faster than expected, but Claire did not panic and shouted.
“The demons cannot be easily dealt with, so everyone step back!”
As Claire said that, spirits materialized everywhere around her.
Claire, who had summoned the Four Great Spirits, glared at the demons.
Then the demon whose eyes were closed opened them and spoke as if savoring them.
-It’s been a while since I tasted the outside air. oh? There are a lot of them that look tastier than you think, right?
As soon as I heard that, I checked the demon’s status window.
Even demons had levels.
It is divided into levels according to its strength, and is usually divided into low level – intermediate level – upper level – top level.
I was planning to check what level of demon that one was.
Sigh.
[Mammon]
-Title: Demon of Greed
-Talent: Greed
-Grade: Advanced
-Attribute: Jar of Desire
‘High level!’
I hoped the grade would be different, but he was still a high-level demon as before.
Mammon, the demon of greed.
He was quite a troublesome opponent. The greed that came out of that jar was the only thing that had a big impact on humans.
‘Anyway, how on earth did they send the demons out of the gate so quickly?’
Even though it was fast, it was too fast.
“Everyone run away. “He’s not an ordinary guy.”
We shook our heads at Claire’s words.
“When you enter the final gate, you have to deal with guys who are stronger than this.”
At Yunmir’s words, Claire looked at the students who were fully prepared for battle.
I thought they were students, but when she saw the children showing the appearance of fully awakened people, Claire nodded.
“Then everyone be careful!”
-Why are you fussing so much over the topic of prey?
Mammon said, licking his lips with his tongue.
Pow!
I shouted when I saw Mammon holding out the jar of desire in his right hand.
“We have to stop him from getting his greed out there!!”
“what is that?!”
I don’t know what it is, but the seven hero candidates, including Claire, started moving when I shouted to stop them.
Choi Seol and Selina assisted on both sides of Claire, and Yoon Mir became a dragon warrior and attacked Mammon.
Ji Tae-hoon summoned Behemoth, and Hwang Da-bin gave everyone a buff.
Sigh.
But before all those attacks could reach, Mammon took something out of the jar.
-Ta-da, the first greed is appetite, one of the basic human needs. Everyone, enjoy the taste of fantasy I show you!
Woe!
The moment Mammon finished speaking, a huge purple fog began to cover the Spirit Guild.
As soon as I saw that, I used Advent.
The biggest reason Choi Kang was able to become a hero was because he was able to handle the ‘power of God’, which is contrary to the demons.
As soon as I saw him, I was thinking ahead about which scene I would sing.
The godhead I was to descend this time was ‘Heavenly God.’
‘Please lend me the power of the Heavenly God to blow away the demons.’
Flash!
A huge pillar of light fell on me through the purple fog.
‘There are dirty guys nearby. I’ll be happy to lend you my strength.’
Flap!
As the heavenly spirit descended on my body, angel wings sprouted on my back.
“cloth… angel… … .”
I, the god of the Elyos, who had descended into the divinity of the Celestials, looked at Mammon, the demon of greed.
The golden energy was dispelling the purple fog.
When I saw my colleagues frozen by exposure to the purple energy, I wrapped them warmly in the golden energy.
Mammon, who saw my actions, frowned and said.
-For a human to descend upon a godhead… Right! You are the one who sealed my master!
As Mammon said that, he began to inflate his whole body.
