＜ Episode 163 ＞
“I actually ate one.”
Along with giggling laughter, Fioren’s voice pierced everyone’s ears, and all eyes gathered.
Hawke still had her eyes closed, and Fioren smiled.
“With the help of this friend, I entered the mental world. I observed a demon connected to John there. And hit the demon.”
The words were muttered casually, but the contents of the words were unbelievably true to the point of nonsense, and everyone was shocked.
“Nonsense!”
“… is that possible?”
Even Caidel’s eyes widened, and Hawk, who turned to Fioren shrugging his shoulders, sighed and opened his eyes.
“Mmm!”
“… blind.”
The black masturbation faded, and all white eyes scanned everyone, and everyone flinched at the dizziness contained in their gaze.
“······There can be friends like this. Did you reach the superhuman hierarchy by looking at it?”
Kaidel’s red eyes met Hawk’s gaze, and he said in an interested voice that he noticed something.
“It’s really bloody horse. That’s right.”
Hawke nodded affirmatively, and a look of admiration crossed Caidel’s face.
It’s easy to say, but it’s as difficult as going through the eye of a needle for someone who isn’t directly skilled in combat to rise to the rank of a superman.
“I commend you for your talent and hard work.”
“Thank you.”
Seeing Hawk nod lightly, everyone’s faces turned serious.
Among those gathered here, the strongest is Kaidel, and the most discerning is also Kaidel.
Caidel acknowledged it, and since it is extremely rare for a wizard to lie, he sensed that John’s words about hitting the demon connected to him were true.
“I think you understand my position.”
His eyes focused once more on the calm voice.
“I’m trying to summon a demon.”
“Are you sane?”
Zeus also had a devastated expression at Ares’ words, but the rest of the characters were talked about in advance.
I didn’t restart John’s story.
“It’s not about perfectly summoning the true body. I might be able to kill the demon in the first place.”
It is a situation where endless murderous intentions rise, but the opponent is a transcendent.
I could confirm that John’s sparks could cause damage, but I wasn’t sure that it could lead to the demon’s death.
As the devil said, if you are reserved as a transcendental person, it might be possible someday, but at least right now I’m not sure.
“Summon some and get rid of them. That alone won’t make you kidding.”
“・・・・・Hmm.”
“…if it’s like that.”
Zeus and Ares straightened their posture.
Players are basically the ones who have to prevent destruction.
Innumerable seeds of destruction were dormant in Luna, and no matter how much knowledge she has of the game, some variables may arise now that it has become a reality.
Isn’t it like that just by looking at the solver right in front of you?
In Future Cyber, which they did, the form of destruction called John Doe did not exist.
In such a situation, the idea of striking the demons scattering destruction.
The seeds of destruction that had already been sown could not be helped, but the number of destruction to be sown in the future could be drastically reduced.
If you’re lucky, the devil may get out of hand.
“I decided it was okay. God also affirmed. It’s hard to win if you’re dragged along.”
Zeus and Ares nodded at Odin’s words.
Odin’s skills are well known to the two of them.
It becomes a story that it is worth trying if the brilliant and cool-headed Odin affirmed, and the god connected to him also affirmed.
thud.
When Straydom waved his hand lightly, the space bag opened and a black cubic fell on the table, and Zeus and Ares’ eyes fluttered when they saw it.
“······Philosopher’s Stone. Six of them.”
“Here too.”
John’s hand flipped over and a Philosopher’s Stone popped out of his inventory, now numbering ten.
“······I knew it would be saved, but I didn’t know it would be this fast.”
Odin’s gaze turned to Strydom, and Strydom opened his mouth with a calm expression.
“It’s not that we can’t observe the existence of demons, so did you think we were just watching?”
Chick.
Strydom, biting on a thick cigar, continued.
“I have been looking for a way for a long time. Because it’s Luna’s threat.”
White smoke billowed out.
“If you have an opportunity like this, the National Guard is always welcome.”
A bleak, deadly smile formed on Strydom’s lips, and Ares shook his shoulders at the force that spewed out.
‘······Damn it.’
But that was the only thing that reacted.
The rest of the members did not change their expressions, even Zeus and Odin, so Ares could see that he was the weakest in this position.
“In the National Guard, two more people will apply besides me.”
“You are strong.”
At Strydom’s words, John nodded.
Since it’s about dealing with the devil, there’s no need to talk about it.
All you need is a superman.
Two more such superhumans had been added, and it was clear that their strength would not be pushed back by Strydom.
“I build and maintain barriers. If I can afford it, I’ll prepare some cerebral strike spells.”
“that’s enough.”
Fioren is a Bound Master.
His magic is specialized in barriers, so it is natural.
“Heh heh. It’s a barrier that holds demons. That sounds like a lot of fun.”

Madness began to form on Fioren’s face as he rubbed his palms.
Wizards are those who mock the law.
Being such a magician, playing tricks against transcendental beings in itself was so much fun.
“I’ll take a look from a safe place.”
It sounded absurd, but no one refuted Hawke’s words.
Hawk is a superhuman who has reached the state of sight.
Because what he sees must mean more than just looking.
“The summoning spell is ready. It’s a method of summoning the demons connected to John through the Philosopher’s Stone as a medium. The chances of failure are low.”
Because it is a spell given by God.
Everyone who heard Odin’s words nodded in agreement.
Since he was a god connected to the player, the sorcerer, he could not have thought that he would be on good terms with the devil, and if such a god taught him magic, he would surely be able to feed the devil.
“I contacted the kids I knew. Well, most of them can’t move because of the bailiffs, but a few of them are interested.”
A bright smile appeared on Kaidel’s face as he spoke with red eyes.
Although he said he was a kid, it was clear that each and every one of them would be tough if Kaidel kept in touch.
I don’t know what kind of people will come, but it was clear that it would be a huge force.
“Thank you.”
Caidel waved her hand at John’s thanks.
“Okay. I should say thank you for bringing such an interesting thing to an old man who can’t die.”
Everyone made strange faces at the words of Kaidel, who seemed to be the youngest among them, but soon turned their eyes away.
No one knew Kaidel’s exact age.
“I will not participate.”
“Zeus.”
At Zeus’ words, Ares looked at him with a surprised expression, but Zeus’ hardened expression did not change.
“I like the way it works. I like that rebellious attitude.”
“Thank you.”
A hard gaze met the solver.
“More than anything.”
A cold smile appeared on Zeus’ face.
“I was wondering how much experience and achievements would be given.”
A similar expression appeared on Odin’s face after hearing Zeus’ words.
The faces of the non-players had an expression of absurdity, and Ares’s expression was so hard that it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
“It’s decided.”
A low word flowed from John’s mouth, and sharp momentum rose from everyone’s body.
“Spread the notice. From now on, no player will be hostile to you.”
At Odin’s words, John averted his gaze.
“You can consider the attacking player corrupted.”
Zeus nodded in agreement, and a cold smile formed on John’s lips.
“It means I can do whatever I want.”
Among the seeds of destruction that have been revealed, the most famous one is John.
There were rumors about his mighty power, so no one dared to attack him, but there were no eyes wandering around him.
It is also true that John was ambiguous and a little concerned about killing blindly, since the player was in front of Luna.
It was as if an indulgence had been given to him, so John’s heart fluttered at the thought of having a pleasant conversation with those who were watching him.
“3 days.”
John raised a finger.
“I’ll do it in 3 days.”
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
***
After sharing the details of the operation and making up their minds, the party dispersed.
John also left Area 22, which was full of recordings, and arrived at Area 53, which began to stretch spectacularly.
Even though it was early evening, the streets were already full of drunkards, and I could see the voices of prostitutes soliciting customers and drug dealers with their eyes shining in the darkness of the alley.
The Borkov mafia, who put on an arrogant expression and put a lot of strength on their shoulders, and the bullies who roam around the mafia.
A vendor with a stern expression was touting goods at the stall, and a clumsy customer was sweating profusely from being caught.
On one side of the alley, there was a smell of blood as if a fight had taken place, and several children were staring into the alley with a smile.
Perhaps he was thinking of robbing the loser once the battle was won or lost.
The whole scene caught John’s eyes, and he sighed lightly, pulling out a cigarette and asking.
Chick.
White smoke rose from the cigarette, which spontaneously caught fire, and John blew the ashes out of his mouth as he sucked in the smoke.
“It sounds like hell.”
The public security does not play its role, and the streets only return to blood and violence.
If an ordinary person living on Earth sees this street, he will shout “Hell!” and run away to get as far away from this place as possible.
John had been to every gutter on Earth, but even with his experience, streets like this weren’t common, and living in a place like this was obviously not very nice.
Of course, there was a slum that was more deadly than here.
but nonetheless.
“It’s my hell.”
John smiled and moved on, and everyone widened their distance at the appearance of the rumored fixer.
The backs of the powerful mafiosi were bent at ninety degrees, and the merchants, who had been preying on passers-by with grim expressions, forced a smile.
The prostitutes stopped their voices, and the drug addicts, whose eyes were completely unleashed, disappeared into the alley with a startled look on their faces.
Yearning and fear came to the eyes of the yellow children of Yangachi and Ssaksu.
John was walking without doing anything, but everyone’s eyes were looking at him as if they were looking at the king.
How long had it been since he walked away from the street while receiving such awe?
John stopped walking in the quiet empty lot that connects the entertainment district and the residential district.
An empty lot where only traces of a large building remain, probably because the construction company went bankrupt.
John stopped at a place where there seemed to be no one to complain to, no matter what happened, as there was only a broken CCTV, and John put a cigarette in his mouth.
Chick.
White smoke rose from the cigarette, which had spontaneously caught fire, and John’s mouth opened with a slightly languid expression.
“come out.”
White smoke spread along with a voice in the empty space, and something magically rose.
– Fixer John Doe.
The mechanical sound coming from the all-black armor and helmet, and the iron mask that completely covered the face.
– I will arrest you.
John smiled coldly as he looked at the four enforcers surrounding him.
