12 – Crossing the Line
As usual, Nyale was well aware that her master was not quick to anger.
Even if your subordinates make a mistake or something happens that goes against your plan…
Even if insignificant beings do not even know what they are doing, they provoke something like that…
It was common for her owner to let it go with a sigh, not showing any strong reaction.
She
Of course, she shows a stern side when it comes to handling things or retaliation, but even then, her master, Aztas, only shows a businesslike side. She rarely showed her anger openly.
But…
Nyale had only seen twice with the naked eye that her master, who had never been so angry before, could express his anger with sincerity.
Once, when she led Nyale into her trap and killed the enemies who were threatening her life.
And another time…
Right now.
It was at this moment that she heard some stories from him while she contacted Yosug.
‘Very.. What the hell did you hear?
The appearance of Aztas, who momentarily radiates black magic from his entire body.
There was nothing in it of the human male who had been sitting leisurely just a moment ago.
Demon Sultan.
As the lord of the demons, he conquered a world.
Seeing the terrifying mana flowing from her body, the embodiment of her overwhelming power, Nyale began to tremble in fear as she was, even though the anger was not directed at herself. Did.

There was a certain kind of ‘good’ in the world.
No matter how serious a mistake was made in the past, there was no need to take issue with it or take revenge on it one by one, and even if it wasn’t forgiving, it was possible to live while forgetting it.
Originally, revenge or retaliation could hurt the other person, but it was inevitable that it would also harm me.
It may feel good in the process of proceeding and completing it, but at the same time, considering the damage that will be caused by it, it was not entirely good.
But…
Nevertheless.
People sometimes take such a loss…
Even if he had to give everything he had. There was a time when you had to do that revenge.
Unforgivable…
No matter how insensitive to pain you are, when you are faced with something that makes you shed bloody tears…
The so-called…
When you cross the line…

The center of this space.
There was a building made of black crystal created by high-ranking demons.
It was about the size of a school gymnasium, and the interior itself was a relatively simple structure with a platform and a crystal black throne placed at the end of a spacious hall-like space with nothing in it.
However, apart from this simple structure, the appearance of this space itself exuded a dark and unusual atmosphere that could be believed to be the center of the castle.
The walls and floors were entirely made of black crystal, and the irregular and strangely beautiful patterns engraved on the ceiling and interior walls were enough to arouse people’s awe like magic.
And at the center of this space,
I was sitting on the throne with a familiar look, wearing the black robe that I usually wore in that world.
Although he was an ordinary human in this world, there was no awkwardness in this world at all, as he had lived as the ruler of the demons for over 10 years in the other world, and on the contrary, he felt comfortable.
Of course, this is only about being comfortable with your body.
Although, like a roaring flame in my heart right now, a deep anger that I couldn’t ignore was burning.
And…
In front of me, who had returned to the form of the Demon Emperor, my colleagues and the Knights of Tintalos, the bodyguard, were lined up on their knees respectfully.
“Nyale. Explain the situation to everyone…”
“Okay. Mr. Aztas.”
As soon as my order was given, Nyale opened her mouth with a calm voice as usual.
But at this moment, everyone present here, including me, knew.
The fact that her voice, which seems frozen and calm, contains cold emotions of anger that cannot be hidden at this moment.

Recruiting people is very difficult, and making them do their best work for a long time is even more difficult.
Even though people in the world value money, there was a limit to how much money could be used to manipulate people.
Comfortable work life. A guaranteed future, humane treatment, etc.
There were surprisingly many things I had to pay attention to in order to satisfy people.
But…
For her, these things…
She is the 9th ranked S-class hunter and the director of Olympus.. Lee Seol-young…
These trivial matters were just useless things that I wanted to avoid as much as possible.
Lee Seol-yeong, who was born as the daughter of an S-class hunter and enjoyed her wealth and power from an early age, and was able to have everything she wanted.
For her, currying other people’s favor was nothing but foolishness, and instead she found that making her people listen to herself was the most efficient way to manipulate people. I had an idea that there was a way.
And as part of that…
She had been working on making Seon Woo-jin, a competent manager in her own hunter guild, her dog forever.
Seon Woo-jin’s only younger brother, and the reason why he is working hard for the company with all his passion.
From noble mtl dot com.
Seon Woo-yun, a young girl suffering from an incurable disease.
As long as she continues to be stuck in the hospital sick, Seon Woo-jin has no choice but to burn his whole body for the guild no matter what happens to him.
And,
Seol-Young Lee, who found out about this fact, started working on arbitrarily manipulating the girl’s health condition.
Originally, the girl’s physical condition could have been aimed at recovery through modern procedures.
However, Lee Seol-yeong used a lot of money and power to bribe the doctor, and the doctor intentionally used strong drugs and procedures that damaged body tissues, and very slowly, very little by little. It was destroying the girl’s body at an invisible speed.
In this way, this clandestine operation by the best doctor at the best hospital in Korea, which is not a small hospital, has turned a girl who could have been cured into a being suffering from an incurable disease and only looking forward to the day she will die.
Seon Woo-jin, who was completely unaware of such a fact, went to the hospital while working until his body was reduced to powder in order to somehow save his younger brother, who was getting worse and worse.
He had been steadily giving money into the hands of those who had ruined his brother.
However.
This dirty ring that deceived a person’s life was broken due to a variable that could not exist in this world called Seon Woo-jin’s magic. They decided to commit another task to return them to their slaves.
A plan to aggravate the condition of a miraculously recovered girl by injecting a large amount of toxic drugs at once, which had been administered little by little.
Although the doctor was a little hesitant because of the first miracle he had ever seen since he was born.
Eventually, under the threat of exposing the misdeeds he had committed, he decided to undertake this task.
The miracle she saw before her eyes was something that a doctor would be in awe of.
However, if this miracle threatened his life, to him it was nothing more than a useless disaster.
What matters to them is their own lives. Own benefit.
That was all.
So, after much deliberation, he finally decided to administer the drug to the girl.
The outcome of that choice… Was completely unexpected.
