Chapter 2036 – 2036. Savior of the Academy
The Korea Hero Association sent a message to the A-class heroes.
-Find the location of the red light. A-rank or higher heroes should go to the location below and block the red light. Jeok-gwang has a high possibility of becoming an S-class villain in the future, so it doesn’t matter if he is alive or dead.
Most A-class heroes who saw the message ignored it.
The red light was strong. To the extent that even A-class heroes can’t carelessly watch it. It’s not for nothing that the association says that it might become an S-class villain. Even among A-class heroes, there were many who did not want to take the risk. Most of them were satisfied with their current lives.
On the other hand, A-class heroes who wanted money and fame headed to Nampo City. Jeok-gwang, a famous dark hero these days. You can get money and fame just by defeating them. There was also an ulterior motive that it might be easily possible by linking up with other A-class heroes.
There was also a rare hero who acted with justice. Those who judge Jeok-gwang’s actions as wrong.
Myung Ji-ah, who is called Iron Storm, was like that.
‘People call red light a dark hero, but… He’s a villain pretending to be a dark hero.’
Such was the course of the red light. Even if I couldn’t tell you the details, I felt that the essence was different from that of an ordinary dark hero.
The red light is the villain. Kill the criminal It doesn’t matter if the criminal is an awakened or non-awakened criminal. If they look like criminals, they just kill them. I do not share the gravity of sin. Judgment simply by killing.
‘A murderer and a thief cannot be the same. But the red light doesn’t distinguish between a murderer and a thief.’
She said it wasn’t justice to her.
‘Red light is crazy just like its name.’
He wasn’t just crazy, he was a madman with power. Before the red light goes mad, it must be suppressed before the tip of the spear is directed at innocent people.
She rode her bike and rode toward Nampo City.

In the original work, the academy had many accidents.
Since it is a place where all kinds of talented people gather, they attack the academy for different reasons.
For simply killing a future hero.
For having a strange talent.
For being a hero’s child.
For the reason that I have to give my shining talent to the devil.
The place where I am now is one of the strongholds of devil worshipers. It is one of the top three places for devil worshipers in South Korea.
There was a smell in the building. The disgusting smell of demons.
『Demon Hunter (S) has detected the existence of a demon.』
『All stats temporarily increase.』
『Attack power against demons temporarily increases.』
『Demon Hunter (S) wants the death of demons!』
The first thing that greeted me was a corpse that was neither a devil nor a devil worshipper. A corpse that was torn to the point where it was difficult to recognize its shape. The walls were covered with dried blood.
[Ugh. It’s a bad place. But did you have to enter the side of the building? Wouldn’t it be better to just go in front or attack from above?]
‘There is something I need to secure. Is the optical camouflage working properly?’
[If you don’t move vigorously, you can keep it for hours.]
‘What about the radar?’
[No. I think there is a barrier. I can’t check inside the building.]
As far as I know, this stronghold has been used by devil worshipers for over ten years. As such, there must be some means to protect the base. Even if the radar didn’t work, it wasn’t strange.
‘It doesn’t matter since I know roughly the structure of this place through the original work.’
Go down to the basement
There was a prison in the basement. A place where kidnapped people gather. Most were children. Among non-awakened demons, children were the best sacrifice. The children sat on the prison floor and stared blankly down at the floor. I passed the prison and headed inward.
[Uh? Won’t you save me?]
‘Why me?’
[So you can get something called karma?]
‘Heroes are coming to catch me. They’ll figure it out. In this way, you will rise indirectly, so your karma will also rise. Maybe.’
It didn’t matter if it didn’t go up. It’s not like the chance to get karma is only now.
『Demon hunter (S) wants to kill all demons!』
Power in the hands
My heart soars and I feel the hatred. However, I was absolutely psyched. Demon Hunter (S)’s hatred for demons cannot reach me.
‘Be quite.’
Forcibly suppressing his hatred even the demon hunter calmed down to some extent.
Open the prison door and go inside.
‘Hick.’
Thirteen children were hanging from the ceiling and moaning. The children are bleeding little by little and writhing in pain. The blood shed by the children became a complicated magic circle, linking the connection with the devil. The indirectly connected demons were enjoying the pain of the children like drinking coffee.
– Giggles.
-As expected, the pain of a child sold by its parents is exceptional.
– No. The pain of a child who grew up receiving extreme love in a wealthy environment is more delicious.
-Well. I think the pain of an ordinary child is the most delicious.
The voices of demons resound as if they were unfamiliar.
『Demon hunter (S) wants to kill the devil!!』
Unfortunately couldn’t kill it.
No matter how much you do, you can’t kill a demon that hasn’t materialized. My gaze turned to the center of the room.
There was one child lying down. Skinny child. A child who just lay there as if dead while other children moaned in pain. A lot of medical equipment was stuck near the child.
[What is he? It doesn’t look like a sacrifice.]
‘Of course it’s not a sacrifice. To put it bluntly, he’s the one who gets the reward.’
The devil worshiper leader here sacrifices another child to the devil for his terminally ill child. It’s that child I’m trying to secure. I don’t know the child’s name. He’s not interested He approached, grabbed the child by the scruff of the neck and lifted him up.
“Uh, uh… Kill me…”
The child asked me I ignored it and held the knife in my other hand.
-Omg?! What are you guys?!
– How dare you disturb our food!
-What are the cultists doing?
The demons roared All he could do was talk, but his voice carried a curse.
『Demon Hunter (S) scatters the devil’s curse.』
He swung his sword
A circular sword energy spreads around me and suffocates the children hanging from the ceiling. It was to get rid of the noisy ritual.
– Ruining the ceremony… !
-No. A few more months could have made him stronger!
– Can’t miss this opportunity!
The magic circle beneath my feet glowed.
The souls of the children who were hung as sacrifices burst out of their bodies. The souls cannot escape from this place and are sucked into the magic circle.
The demons were greedy.
“They are stupid bastards.”
I hope they connect directly.
I got down on one knee and put my hand on the floor. Hands sunk as if drowning in mud. Catch something I forced it up.
-Kiaaaaa?!
What was caught and dragged into my hand was a small devil less than 1m tall.
『Demon Hunter (S) sees through the devil.』
『Nobis Demon. Things that can only be done.”
A demon without title or authority.
Among the demons, they were the lowest.
“Still, it will be more useful than Mine. Die.”
Kwajik.
Killed by popping off the demon’s head.
-Hee heeprofit! I’m a demon hunter!!
– Run away! We can’t deal with it!
– Nobles! The nobles must be notified!
“Escape? There’s no way. Demon hunter. Work.”
『Demon Hunter (S) restricts the movement of the Novice Demon.』
The power flowing from my body seeps into the magic circle on the floor and binds the novice demons. I reached into the floor and pulled out the novice demon like a radish and killed it. Blowing the head off, tearing it apart, or crushing it with the palm of your hand.
『Demon Hunter (S)’s power is slightly stronger.』
‘Okay. Grow up quickly As soon as possible.’
Having killed the demon, I held the child in one hand and jumped toward the ceiling. Destroy the ceiling and head upstairs.
“Nooooo!!!!”
Cried the enraged devil worshiper. Devil worshipers come pouring in. There are more than 50 of them. No matter how much I was, I didn’t have the confidence to deal with these guys alone. That’s why it was necessary to secure the hostages first.
Give the child to devil worshipers.
“Don’t move. Any movement will kill this bastard.”
“This, you ungodly bastard!! Seed of the Great Devil… !!”
Devil Seed?
The devil worshipers were being fooled by their leader. A child is not the devil’s seed. Demon hunter (S) doesn’t react to the child is proof of that.
“Where is your leader?”
“I promise you mercy. Put him down!”
“Do you chew my words?”
Pudeuk.
He broke the child’s right arm.
“Turn it off…”
The child let out a light moan and shuddered at her. The devil worshipers freaked out.
“Ah, I see! I will bring the Prophet! Do not harm him!”
“Give me one minute. Bring me.”
『Demon hunter (S) wants to kill the devil worshipers!』
I ignored the notification window of Demon Hunter (S).
Their leader came running in a hurry in 30 seconds.
Unruly black hair, wrinkles that couldn’t be hidden from her face, and parted lips. The middle-aged woman pushed the worshipers and stepped forward.
“Minwoo! Minwoo… Minwoo’s arm… This guy!!!!”
“Shut up.”
He put his finger in the child’s eye. The movement of the woman who had been having a seizure suddenly stopped. She feared the death of her own son more than anything else.
“… What. What do you want from me?”
“I want to see the devil. Summon the devil.”
“… Is it a devil contract? In order to legitimately summon the devil, conditions are necessary. Offerings can quickly achieve that condition. There is no sacrifice excellent enough to summon a demon here.”
“You are there.”
“… To use comrades as sacrifices?”
“No?”
Hooked
He stabbed Minwoo’s left eye with his index finger.
“Aaaaagh!”
The index finger went to Minwoo’s right.
“Minwoo!! I get it! I understand, so don’t bully Minwoo!!”
“Okay. If you don’t want to see your child die, summon the devil right now. If you don’t summon him within 10 minutes, I’ll just kill you.”
