The Novel’s Villain

s not purification.
It’s cleaning.”

Jin-woo said this as he then proceeded to stretch out his hand.
Then the space shook, and a black portal appeared.
It was a portal that led to the Demon Realm.
Black energy swirled around Jin-woo.
Just looking at it burned one’s eyes.
Jin-woo slowly approached the Count, trembling in fear.

Jin-woo’s hand wrapped around the Count’s neck.

Swoosh!

Jin-woo threw him right into the portal.
Everyone stared blankly as he vanished.

“Ah-aaargh!”

“Y-You are not a saint! T-That…!”

The priests could instinctively tell he was an existence like the Demon King.
No, it was something beyond that.
They finally recognized who Jin-woo was, but it was already too late.
Their bodies were paralyzed because of the demon’s energy.
The knights poured out all their mana and ran towards the door.

Haymann and the knights banged on the door, but it didn’t open.
They started to lose all their strength and gradually grew stiff.
Jin-woo slowly threw the trembling and drooling priests into the portal next.
The knights watched with their eyes wide open.
They were all being dragged to hell.

“Sa-Save me!”

“Open it! I say open it!”

“Eaaaargh!”

The knights let out desperate screams.
Alonso and the priests nodded as they listened.

“It’s a dreadful curse.”

“Look at that evil spirit!”

“Sigh, will the Saint be okay…?”

They were only worried about Jin-woo, thinking it was a reaction to the curse.
They prayed for the saint to return safely from purification.
Jin-woo slowly walked towards the knights.
He dragged the knights back, put them all into the portal, and dusted off his hands.

“That’s much better.”

Cleaning made him feel much better.
He told them it would take a long time to purify, so he didn’t have to go out for a few more days.
Jin-woo entered the portal with a refreshed smile.

In the Demon Realm, there experts of a wide range of unique abilities.
As high-ranking demons, they were able to demonstrate more diverse and evil abilities.
The dream that Lilith had shown before was a typical example.

The Count, priest, and knights were tied up in their torture chamber.
The demons who came under Jin-woo’s summons looked at them with interest.
They didn’t forget to lighten their demon energy so that those people could barely survive.
The Count’s eyes widened to a point where they seemed like they might fall out.
He tried to scream, but no voice left him.

Jin-woo nodded.
Not only did he take care of the Count, but he was also planning to swipe the estate so there wouldn’t be any more trouble.
Other nobles could get dragged in, and things would get complicated if he just dealt with them all.
So the one he summoned was this high-ranking demon.
He was a faceless demon, but he could imitate others.

Dopplo, the leader of a tribe called Doppelgangers.
His physical abilities would drop significantly without demon energy, but it was still possible to maintain his appearance.

“My grandfather said he had been to Middle World.
I am looking forward to it.”

“You just have to pretend to be him.
Act in moderation.”

“Isn’t that my specialty?”

Dopplo’s business plan was unusual, but he was acquainted with Arina.
Thanks to this, he had a broad understanding of the Earth.

“A cafe full of celebrities on Earth!”

Dopplo planned such a unique cafe.
Jin-woo was considering it because it could work out.
In the case of humans, he could copy not only their appearance but also their abilities, so even relatives wouldn’t be capable of distinguishing them.

The knights here were the important figures of the Count’s house.
Dopplo’s people decided to play their roles.
If the conditions were met, the swordmaster could be imitated similarly.
All of the men brought by Dopplo were elite men close to being high-ranked demons.

‘This is an opportunity!’

If Dopplo showed his skill, he might be invited to the Emperor’s dimension.
The high-ranking demons who went there said it was a land of milk and honey.
Dimensional gold coins were said to be pouring like rain!

Dopplo transformed into the Count.

“Hmmm…”

As he checked the voice, he stabbed the Count in the chest.

“Ugh!”

A scream burst out of the Count’s mouth.
Dopplo followed it a few times until it became the same.
It was so similar that it was difficult for Jin-woo to distinguish them from appearance alone.
The Count looked shocked at the sight.

Jin-woo nodded.

‘Umm…’

It felt like a conspiracy to conquer Middle-World, but it seemed to work out anyway.

‘That would be fine, too.’

Considering the Emperor there, it was a good way to go about it.
The best torture expert in the Demon Realm bowed his head and approached Jin-woo.
He was neatly dressed, and his hair was cleanly parted.
Next to him was an assistant, who carried a table full of all kinds of blades.

There was also a menu.
Jin-woo looked over it.

“No.
7, the Hell of Reflection Course would be good.”

“Yes, my Emperor.
Hell of Reflection Course, I understand.”

It was said to be a course that made anyone thoroughly reflect on themselves.
Jin-woo looked around the Demon Realm after telling Dopplo to do some research.
He met Sarah Vriac and others.
Sarah Vriac was still annoying, but she was good at governing, so it was hard to say anything.

[The kidnapped Goddess Luna has awakened.]

[Awesome!]

[The Incarnation of Evil has been strengthened by a great achievement.]

“Ah!”

He had forgotten for a moment that he had put Luna in the Sanctuary.

* * *

Luna regained consciousness.
She remembered she had seen the Emperor of Gold, so she thought maybe she died, and she came to Heaven, but it didn’t seem like that.
She didn’t know where it was, but it was a very well-decorated space.

‘T-this place…?’

It was full of expensive decorations.
She was walking cautiously on the carpet as the dirt from her body fell to the floor.
Someone appeared behind her.

“Huh? I don’t think there’s an intruder…”

Luna looked behind her.
There was a demon with horns on her head.
It was clear that she wasn’t just a demon but a powerful one at that.

“D-demon!?”

She was startled and radiated her divine power.
However, the divine power didn’t come to her.
It felt like the faucet was clogged.

‘I-is this the Demon Realm?!’

Feeling a sense of crisis, she started running.
As she ran on the carpet, the mud sloughed off her, and it became dirty.
Someone else appeared in front of her.
Her red hair was impressive.

“What is this?”

Luna opened her mouth wide when she saw the woman.
Luna was still the Goddess, so she knew right away who that woman was.
She was an Emperor, the Emperor of Vanity!

“Kyaaaah!”

She screamed and ran again.
The lights went out, and darkness surrounded her.
Luna saw a door.
She looked behind her and saw two shadows following her.
The Emperor of Vanity and the high-ranking demon were chasing her! If she were caught by them, she wouldn’t be able to return to Heaven at all but would be humiliated forever.
Just like the nightmare she often had.

She opened the door and went inside.
A very dark and large space greeted her.

‘I have to run away…!’

She ran forward, soon noticing a little light.

Whoosh!

“Huh?”

Something passed by her on the floor.
Luna flinched and looked down.
Something was rolling with a shiny square in its hand.
Then it stopped right in front of her and looked at her.

“Ah…”

Whoosh!

She stepped back and bumped into something cold.
She turned her head and saw a huge structure with no end in sight.
At the end of the structure, there was a blue glow that looked like a giant eye.

“T-T-The Emperor of…gasp.”

The legendary being, the Emperor of Maze.
Her body sank as she fainted again.
The Maze, who had been rolling on the floor with its tablet PC, rose from its seat and looked at her.

“Dirty.”

It simply evaluated her.

“I think she came in here….”

“Here!”

Hearing Arina, the Maze called out.
Soon after, Heo-young also came in.
The three stood side by side and looked at Luna, who had passed out.
Heo-young tilted her head.

“Where did she come from?”

“Who knows.”

Heo-young and Arina looked at her and thought deeply.
The Maze’s eyes widened as it squatted and stared at Luna.
The Maze pulled a pen out of the tablet PC it was holding and drew something.
It was the appearance of the Goddess Luna.
There was a dungeon in Middle World so that it could see her occasionally.

“The Goddess?”

“Luna?”

Heo-young and Arina grinned as they looked at the picture the Maze drew.
The Goddess Luna was a famous deity.
Not only the demons but also the elves and dwarves knew her.
But why was such a goddess here?

It was absurd.

“Even though it was Master, he wouldn’t have kidnapped a goddess, right?”

“I know.
Could it be possible?”

“Right? Fufu.”

“Yeah.
Haha!”

Arina and Heo-young looked at each other and laughed.
Then all of a sudden, the laughter stopped.
The two looked at Luna again.
They recalled what had happened in the past.

“It could be real…”

“I think it is possible.”

“Possible.”

It was definitely possible with the Master.
