Information about the Returners’ Association that I had been familiar with before coming here, but which had completely stopped being updated several years ago.

Hans roughly summarized what came to mind and slowly looked around.

‘This is right here…’

The basement where he appeared was decorated in a typical occult style, like something out of an old horror movie.

Starting from the blood patterns written all over the room, the crushed candles that have been worn down to the floor, the bones and skulls that are piled up to form an altar, and even a human forearm and an eye that are still dripping with fresh blood on top of them. .

‘The dimension the executioner came from.’

Standing on the altar and staring at the body parts rolling at his feet, his gaze turned forward.

I went to a place where there was a young man who seemed to be holding up quite well, but ended up foaming at the mouth and fainting, missing an eye and an arm.

‘I guess you said he was the great evil of eternity?’

As far as I know, that was definitely the nickname the executioner used in this world.

Apparently, this ritual was performed for the purpose of summoning the bastard.

He glanced around again and slightly shook his head.

‘Everything is a mess. ‘You must have planned to summon the devil with these preparations.’

No matter how different the detailed format was, if you were at his level, you could understand it just by looking at it once.

There is no mystery contained in this ritual.

If he had natural talent, he might have been able to raise his low potential by force, but no matter how I looked at it, the young man didn’t seem to have any talent in that area.

“Ugh… Above, great devil… I will give my soul… Please forgive my sorrow…!”

While I was clicking my tongue, I suddenly heard a faint moan coming from below.

A pitiful voice that breaks out as if you will run out of breath at any moment.

Hans looked down at the young man who had just come to his senses in surprise.

[Hoo? quite.]

Although he was suppressing it to some extent, the aura of fear emanating from his body was at a level where he could not even raise his head straight.

It can be said to be an intangible violence itself that brings despair just by its mere existence.

But who would have thought that having one of his arms and an eye removed would allow him to overcome that intimidating physical condition?

‘It’s worth considering at least your mental strength.’

Hans slowly stroked his chin.

It was purely coincidental that he appeared during the young man’s ceremony.

Who would have known that this kind of ritual was going on the moment he first stepped into this world?

‘···No, can’t we just say it’s a coincidence?’

The executioner is a being called the great evil of eternity in this world.

It was an entirely natural choice for a contract seeker wishing to summon such a person to select a place with connections to him as the location for the ceremony.

And he must have been drawn here by that earnest prayer.

‘The level of the guy was so high that accurate location information could not be extracted. So, I took some errors into account and moved on…’

At this point, I had to see it as an inevitability rather than a coincidence.

Hans lowered his blazing eyes and looked at the young man.

And I opened my mouth to him, who was trying to come to his senses somehow, even though his whole body was shaking like an aspen.

[Keuuu, good. Even when you have this body in front of you, you don’t lose your mind. He seems quite useful.]

“Ahhh···. Go, thank you!”

Anyway, since we were in a new dimension, securing local sources of information was essential.

The only things I found out before visiting were things that were long past their expiration date.

In that sense, that young man could be said to be the most appropriate person to choose right now.

‘Then what should I do with that first? If you leave it like this, you won’t be able to hold on for long and you’ll die.’

The eyeballs and forearms that had been lying on the altar flew into Hans’s palm, which he slightly thrust forward.

A body part that appears to have been cut off by oneself as a master of ritual.

However, their decay had already progressed to the point where their original shape had collapsed.

‘I can’t help it because you were so close to me.’

Still, it didn’t really matter.

Because he was a warlock and not a priest.

I had no intention of putting it on anyway.

Grumbling—

Black flames rose from his grasp.

A pitch-black flame so ominous as to look into the abyss at the end of the deep underground.

However, rather than burning away, the eyeball and forearm simply absorbed it and gradually regained their original appearance.

If I had to say the difference from before, it would be that a pitch-black luster began to flow as if it were carved from obsidian.

[Okay then.]

And right after Hans’ mouth opened again.

The body parts held in his hands flew through the air, engulfed in black flames.

Towards the place where they were originally stuck.

Chiik—!

“Kwaaagh—!”

A tearing scream, accompanied by a sound like flesh being cut with hot iron, echoed through the basement.

A young man, who had a dramatic reunion with the body he had been forced to let go, rolled around on the floor like crazy.

It was a natural rejection reaction of a body that was already completely dead, caused by the power of death, which rejects life, mixing with the body.

[If you can’t overcome that level, you can’t be called my contractor. Prove your worth to yourself. The full story follows.]

Hans scolded coldly, looking down at the young man who had closed his eyes in extreme pain.

Of course, it wasn’t like I was bothering someone for no reason.

‘In a world like this, you can’t easily trust someone who tried to make a contract with the devil.’

Those are shackles and surveillance devices that will make it impossible for anyone to betray themselves.

In other words, it was just a necessary signing of terms and conditions before entering into a full-fledged contract.

Of course, there were not only downsides to accepting that.

Not only has he regained his lost eyes and arms, but he also has a part of death in his body, so he may now have some resistance to the energy of death that Hans exudes.

With this, you won’t be foaming at the mouth and fainting just by confronting me like before.

‘The body is also optimized for necromancy.’

In the future, you will be able to see things you couldn’t normally see through the eyes of the dead, and you will be able to handle things you shouldn’t be able to handle using the arms of the dead.

Necromancy is an ability that shines even brighter in a world where death is rampant, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best ability in this world.

[Hmm, did I lose my mind in the end? Still, this is great. You can look forward to it in the future.]

Hans nodded slowly, looking at the young man writhing on the floor, who had fainted from the shock of his new body settling in.

And then I left him alone and slowly walked outside.

‘I don’t know when that guy will wake up, so let’s just roughly understand the situation.’

Devore, a world that was defeated a long time ago and became a closed dimension.

A stranger stepped there.

A huge step that will shake this entire stagnant world.

***

McCarthy was a rather special young man.

From a young age, there was anything he wouldn’t do in order to survive, and murder was no exception.

Just like everyone in this world.

‘If you don’t kill me first, I will die.’

That was the truth of life that he realized from a young age.

Thanks to being able to realize this early on, he was able to survive persistently until he grew up.

Even as the parents who gave birth to her and the gang she hung out with died without being able to survive for long.

It was around that time that he realized his specialness.

‘It’s dangerous here. ‘You have to go somewhere else.’

His survival instinct was truly amazing.

In a situation where there was no warning, he sensitively sensed the crisis approaching him.

I couldn’t predict exactly when and what situation would come, but that was enough to survive right now.

Because it was a matter of getting as far away from the place as possible as soon as you felt a crisis, without hesitation.

Afterwards, he became a wanderer and began wandering from place to place.

Starting from a cave village that rejects outsiders, a canyon filled with looters, a ruined underground city, and an earthly castle ruled by a demonic contractor.

He was naturally stronger than others, and was somehow able to persevere and survive even though he experienced a life-threatening accident.

In the process, he was able to capture many landscapes of the world.

The sky is dark all year round because the sun does not rise.

A barren land where only strange plants that look like monsters remain.

A small number of survivors barely survive amidst the ruins of the destroyed civilization.

And even a devil contractor who clings to the devil and reigns over the few survivors.

There was no land in this world that could be farmed normally.

Those who made up the group were all armed groups who plundered and hunted, and on a larger scale, they were all like slaves gathered around a devil contractor.

And McCarthy, who thought he would wander for the rest of his life and die on the streets.

I was able to meet a woman of destiny in a ruined village I happened to visit.

‘Delia…’

A lifesaver who extended a helping hand when an injury caused by a minor mistake worsened and life was at risk.

In this world where one cannot survive without killing others, an altruistic act in itself is enough to shine.

‘If it were me, I would definitely kill him and take the loot first.’

Her good deeds were not directed only to herself.

She found it difficult to survive on her own, so she sold her body and took in orphans who had nowhere to go.

A ray of light in a world full of darkness.

It was a very natural step for me to fall for her.

Having been a wanderer, he settled down in the village that day and helped her with her work for over a year, gradually developing a relationship with her.

I have never been more thankful that my body is strong than I was then.

And love, the poison that penetrated his heart as he lived alone his whole life.

It definitely poisoned him and drove him into despair.

Grumbling—

Fiercely burning flames and black smoke.

The acrid smell of burning corpses is now so familiar.

A village with collapsed residences and no life at all.

Although the warm space was stained with blood and death.

He couldn’t do anything.

‘why.’

I warned her of danger, but she did not listen.

No, to be precise, even though I understood what he said, I did not follow his words.

I couldn’t do it.

There were too many things she had to be responsible for for her to abandon everything and escape alone with him.

And McCarthy.

As always…

‘······.’

And it was only after a while that he went back to the village and later regretted it.

Even if it means kidnapping her, force her to run away.

I would rather be with her until the end and die right here.

I thought it would be okay since it was a familiar experience that I had repeated over and over again, but the feeling of loss, like a hole in my heart, did not get better no matter how much time passed.

‘Who are you?’

Identifying the pleural fluid was not that difficult.

Because the other person had no need to hide the fact that he had done this in the first place.

He is the great castle lord who rules the largest castle among existing castles on earth.

Lapua, a contractor of the Great Devil, is at the top of the demons that roam this world.

The ‘hunting festival’ he held for his master was the culprit of this tragedy.

‘Infinite Great Devil. And Lapua.’

There was no possibility of revenge.

It was the right choice to just forget everything and leave to survive.

Just like it was until now.

Just like it did a while ago.

But he let go of everything and did not give up.

After struggling to find a way to make the most of my abilities.

He was finally able to obtain a record.

‘The great evil of eternity.’

A being who was even called the strongest in the world before the Infinite Great Devil.

One of the main culprits who suddenly disappeared from the world about a hundred years ago and destroyed the world by killing countless warriors.

‘If only I could sign a contract with him…!’

I didn’t care that the other person was a demon like the target of revenge.

In this world, it was not uncommon for demon contractors and demons to kill each other.

Since I heard that the Great Devils, who were like the lords of demons, did not get along well, they might have welcomed his proposal.

So he prepared a ritual, crossing all sorts of lines, with the purpose of summoning the great evil of eternity.

[Great devil of eternity…? Where do you get such a low name?]

at last.

I failed to achieve my goal.

[Kkekekekeuk, this body is the king of all the dead and the ruler of death. Hannibal Strauss.]

But he did not give up.

If there is a being who can belittle the Eternal Archdemon, who has been said to be the strongest for over a hundred years, with the word ‘low-level’.

I thought that there might still be a chance for a being who could claim the nickname ‘Lord of Death’.

‘Even if it’s just a lie from the devil.’

And as a result of clinging to the opponent with all my strength…

Phew—

High in the sky with a far-reaching view of the ground.

“Keuuu!”

McCarthy, who was reminiscing about the past, gritted his teeth as he felt a burning pain in his left eye and left arm, which were irritated by the bitter wind.

And he took a deep breath, looking at his ‘master’ who was just as high in the sky as he was looking down at the earth calmly.

[Hmm, yes. So, does this mean that the demons, including the Infinite Great Devil, are the culprits that made the world like this?]

“Yes… you can see that. In fact, it happened so long ago, and as you can see, there is no way to properly record it, so only the devils involved will know the exact facts. Including the contractor who was talked to by those demons.”

He answered the questions as faithfully as ever.

Fortunately, thanks to my experience wandering around and hearing various rumors, I was able to answer most of the questions without difficulty.

[Yes, that’s right.]

A short word that resonates darkly.

Whoa whoa—!

Immediately after those words were spoken, their bodies floating in the air quickly descended to the ground.

The pain in McCarthy’s arms and eyes increased, but he gritted his teeth and somehow suppressed the screams.

[Well, the details are probably good.]

Hans, who lightly stepped on the ground, muttered lowly without even looking at the stumbling McCarthy.

Just from the explanations I’ve heard so far, I was able to clearly know what to do.

[Anyway, doesn’t that mean the fundamental cause is demons? Then it’s just a matter of getting rid of them all. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!]

A monster who laughs lowly and calmly says nonsense.

But McCarthy could not protest against those words.

Because he was subordinated through his arms and eyes, he could feel it intuitively.

That is definitely not a lie, but a statement based on confidence.

‘No way, really…’

The moment he swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

The surprise had already begun.

Kyaaagh—

Wooooo—

Ughhh—

Surprised by the echoing sounds coming from all directions, he looked up at the sky.

He could clearly see what was happening through his left eye, a dead man’s eye that seemed to have been carved from obsidian.

“ah.”

I don’t know when they came, but countless souls covered the entire gloomy sky.

They easily exceeded 10,000 units and were pouring down here, rippling like waves.

And, as if representing them, a ghost at the front of the group, wearing a hat with a black veil and a dress similar to mourning clothes, bowed down in front of the king.

[Olivia.]

[Give your name… King… Girl… I was sent here…]

Banshee Queen Olivia, head of the Intelligence Department of the Immortal Army.

She, who had been gathering the ghosts that filled this land at the king’s command since McCarthy lost consciousness, bowed her head respectfully.

[Search.]

Toward the great master who goes beyond one world and finally reaches into another dimension.

[Those who reign at the top of this world.]

[I will follow your orders…!]

It was the moment when her notoriety, which had surpassed the limits of the Outerica dimension, took root in the Devore dimension.
