The Demon Race didn’t appear directly in PMH’s First Christmas Scenario.

They only transformed Bang Yoonseob from a distance.

But now, the Demon Race has appeared.

‘Everyone who should’ve died at this time has survived. That’s why the Black Screen’s coming out strong.’

The arrival of a person wrapped in an unusual energy wave made it chaotic.

Everyone was busy fighting enemies and dealing with Bang Yoonseob, but it was flustering that no one sensed the presence of the demon until he got this close.

Min Geurin murmured in a tense voice.

“A man with an umbrella…!”

If you see someone with an umbrella, run away immediately.

She must’ve remembered what I said before we left our classroom.

Min Geurin’s voice was much smaller than the enemy’s roars, but the priest didn’t miss it.

“I don’t want to get hit by that unpleasant snow, so, of course, I’m using an umbrella. Because it’s going to snow again soon.”

Invidius’ priest was confident that it would snow again.

And he had no intention of hiding it.

There was only one reason that he’d openly speak about the snow.

‘He’s going to kill everyone here.’

There’s no need to hide information from people who will die anyway.

That’s probably the reason why that sneaky demon isn’t wary.

‘What’s that thing he’s hiding?’

Invidius’ priest was hiding something behind his large fluttering robes and the shadow of his umbrella.

Before I could check what it was, the demon moved first.

He raised his free hand.

He pointed his palm to the sky, and soon there was the same purple eye embedded in Bang Yoonseob’s right arm.

Fwaat!

Energy waves sprang from the palm of his hand whose original color couldn’t be seen.

Invidius’ seal painted the sky, and enemies became covered in strong energy waves.

Then, something unusual happened to the enemies.

“Are the enemies getting stronger…?”

“What the! I just hit its vital point but it’s recovering!”

“The collapsed enemies are getting revived!”

The enemies rose from the ground, their wounds still visible.

Their toenails became sharper and the hair that covered their bodies became lush.

The students in the defense line were agitated.

A person suddenly appeared with a great level of energy waves to which the enemies responded.

The students concluded easily.

“A royal lineage’s power…”

“Don’t tell me he’s the one who attacked Bbang Shuttle!”

The students were nervous.

The priest was looking at us with ease as he held his umbrella.

He looked willing to attack directly.

Although, his eyes were fixed on Bang Yoonseob and the ones who stood in front of him.

Seeing me, Invidius’ priest spoke discontentedly.

“I heard that the Nameless Supernova is polite, but I’m not getting any greeting.”

I don’t know where he heard that from, but I had no manners to give to the Demon Race who threatens Eungwang High.

Instead of a greeting, I asked a question.

I thought he might not answer, but the demon replied meekly.

“What brought you to Eungwang High?”

“I’m looking for something. Does anyone here know about a crow mask? Give me some good information and I won’t kill you.”

The surroundings turned quiet at the mention of a crow mask.

The demon knew that it was a man in a crow mask that caught Avaritia’s Priest using Spiritual Word, but it seems like he hasn’t told anyone about it.

The reason seems obvious.

‘He was trying to find it himself.’

There were many people involved with crow masks, including people from our class.

But no one opened their mouths.

Neither those who knew or didn’t know what the crow mask meant spoke.

‘There are a lot of kids who know that the crow mask is me.’

Those who knew didn’t make eye contact with me.

Even in a life-and-death situation, they don’t have the intention of revealing my identity.

“Hmm. It’s either you don’t know, or you guys just don’t want to talk. Well, it doesn’t matter. The crow mask seems to have a connection with Eungwang High. He’ll come out if I murder all the students.”

“Why do you want to find them?”

“This is one of the doctrines of Invidius, the Demon God of Jealousy that I serve.”

At that moment, the priest flashed his eyes as if he were receiving a message from the demon god.

The next words seem to be said by the demon god himself.

[The shiny ones are turbidly colored, and the ones on the floor are bogged down.]

The doctrine was spoken in an accent and tone that was completely different from the priest’s voice.

“The crow mask has been shining. A lot of people are after him. But I want to kill him with my own hands or catch him. And what’s the point of planning a surprise attack, kids? You’re already caught, so there’s no point.”

At the priest’s words, those who secretly planned an ambush made eye contact with each other.

The priest glanced at Kwak Gyungu before turning his head to Joo Soohyuk.

“You’re pretty good too… If the crow mask weren’t here, I would’ve targeted you.”

“…!”

How dare that mad demon go after the title hero?

The demon’s bluffs didn’t stop there.

“And, you.”

Invidius’ priest pointed at Bang Yoonseob.

Bang Yoonseob didn’t tremble at the demon’s words anymore.

He’s given the scales of the Snake Clan’s head, but his fear didn’t seem to completely disappear yet.

“You… You were the voice in my head…”

“Here’s another eye. Embrace this to your heart instead of the snake’s scales.”

“N-no! Do you think I’m crazy?!”

Bang Yoonseob screamed when he saw the second eye that the priest put out.

He’s scared of the royal lineage in front of him, but he fears that eye more.

If Bang Yoonseob refuses it profusely, he cannot be controlled.

However, as if he knew this would happen, the corners of Invidius’ priest’s mouth rose.

“I’ve got myself a hostage. It’s the face you’ve been thinking of the most.”

Shwaaak!

What’s hidden beneath the priest’s robe was revealed.

Behind the shadow was a bundle of cloth engraved with an energy wave seal.

And when he removed the cloth, the body of a student was revealed.

It was Choi Younghee with her hands tied and her mouth taped.

Bang Yoonseob took a breath and tried to run toward Choi Younghee.

“Let go, let go! You bastard! He’s over there!”

I caught Bang Yoonseob as he screamed and squirmed.

It wasn’t like Bang Yoonseob who was almost swallowed by the eyeball on his right hand just now.

The priest placed his finger between Choi Younghee’s eyebrows as if to take a look.

When the murky energy waves gathered at his fingertips hardened, blood began to drop.

“Stop resisting and accept my power. That way I won’t kill you and my hostage.”

Bang Yoonseob’s pupils shook relentlessly at the words of the demon.

He looked at Joo Soohyuk and his classmates.

Our class that he met while delivering bread.

And finally, at Choi Younghee.

Choi Younghee couldn’t speak since her mouth was taped, but she shook her head.

Bang Yoonseob couldn’t answer.

“You’re hesitating. I was supposed to get this place sorted out and join. I’ll set an example then. If I kill this hostage, I’ll be losing value so… I should kill someone else.”

His appearance deepened my nervousness.

‘I’m later than expected!’

I should’ve taken more time, but I was out of line.

The priest tried to use the demon god’s power to set an example.

I shouted in haste.

“Everyone, evacuate! If you can’t, prepare to defend!”

I tried to defend using energy waves, but I don’t know who the demon is after.

The priest rolled his robe and countless stigmata carved by the demon god on his forearm were revealed.

I was stunned to see where the acrid light was directed from the stigmata.

It was as if he was ripped off by a beast.

However, as if preparing for a joint surprise attack, Min Geurin and Mok Wooram stood back.

The party that came from the sophomore area was carefully heading to the central area.

Students of Class 2-0, who thought they could move forward boldly, advanced with caution due to paranoia.

“Woo Kihwan sunbae knows how vicious those people are.”

“Yeah! We gotta be careful even if we’re inside the school.”

When Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol entered the school before they were influenced by Jegal…

They spent ‘a month in hell’ because of people worse than bad guys in Eungwang High.

At that time, they challenged their seniors to organize their rankings, to which Woo Kihwan sincerely responded.

Those who fought were used to fighting at school.

“Hey, at this rate it will take us hours to just get to the central area!”

“The enemies we’ve dealt with so far aren’t high in rarity.”

“It’s scarier to go so slow like this.”

“It’s good to be careful, but it might not be good if we arrive late.”

While the opinion of the class was divided, Jung Haeon suddenly shouted.

“Stop!”

At her voice, the students immediately stopped walking.

Yeom Junyeol, who was following from behind, climbed up Hongryong and looked down from the sky.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you see the machine in front of you?”

Students confirmed the direction that Jung Haeon pointed.

Those who were wary confirmed the identity of the machine and felt a sense of relief.

It was an otherworld simulator.

Judging from its size and design, it seemed to be old.

“I guess they’re keeping it outside since it’s going to be replaced.”

“Did the school still have such an old device?”

“We have some analog stuff, but I guess not a lot of these old-school ones.”

It wouldn’t be strange for an old otherworld simulator to be found in Eungwang High, but Jung Haeon shook her head.

“I saw that same machine at the broadcasting station.”

“What?”

“I didn’t fight that time, but I saw it. It was in the underground parking lot when the otherworlds occurred! Enemies and floor masters went out of the otherworld…”

What Jung Haeon found was an otherworld simulator that uses Earth Power, previously developed by Namgung Group.

“How many of these were there back then?”

“One.”

Jung Haeon answered Geum Chansol’s question.

“…How many of these are here right now?”

“Looking from up here, I think there are five!”

Geum Chansol and Wang Chansol immediately wrapped their arms with energy waves at Yeom Junyeol’s answer.

“Hey, let’s break them all down!”

“Attack! Charge!”

Wooong…!

However, perhaps the judgment was late, the otherworld simulator sucked up Eungwang High’s earth power.

The moment the sophomores rushed toward the simulator, the surrounding landscape distorted.

It was as if they entered another world.

From a distance, someone with an umbrella watched the space that turned into an otherworld and went into it.
