As the person in the group confronted Jin Hwa, their question echoing through the air, Jin Hwa remained composed. He denied any association with the term "devil" and feigned ignorance regarding the revelation.
However, the person who had signaled earlier seemed to have other intentions. Without warning, they lunged at Jin Hwa, their movements swift and purposeful.
Amid the tense atmosphere, Jin Hwa maintained his calm demeanor and responded firmly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
But the individual who had lunged at him seemed undeterred. With a smug expression, they retorted, "Don't lie. They already informed us." Their laughter carried an air of confidence and arrogance, leaving Jin Hwa even more bewildered.
Jin Hwa, bewildered and frustrated, couldn't help but exclaim, "They? What? You crazy bastards!"
However, the girl among the group stepped forward and raised her voice, shouting, "STOP!" The individual who had charged at Jin Hwa paused at her command.
With an arrogant tone, he added, "Tsk, things just got fun. You're not done yet, you insect."
The girl, representing Athena, then introduced herself and her companions, identifying them as divine hunters for Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Apollo.
**Sooji (지수)** for Athena spoke, her tone revealing their suspicion. "You suspect me to be the devil just because of those incidents?" Jin Hwa questioned.
Sooji's expression remained firm as she responded, "Our leader Zeus bestows his power on jeongwon. The incidents you were involved in have raised our suspicions."
Jin Hwa's eyebrows furrowed. "The Minotaur and the Centaur? I handled those situations because I had to. I'm not a devil."
**Donghae (동해) for Poseidon** interjected with a hint of skepticism. "Defeating mythological creatures is no easy feat for an ordinary human."
**Muhandojeon (무한도전) for Hades**'s eerie presence lingered as he added, "The Centaur encounter was especially peculiar. It's not something a regular teenager could manage."
Jin Hwa felt the weight of their scrutiny, unsure of how to escape this situation.
As the divine hunters continued their interrogation, Jin Hwa's face remained impassive. They recounted the Minotaur and Centaur incidents, pointing to the unusual strength displayed during those confrontations.
Jin Hwa let out a heavy sigh, his demeanor shifting. With a wicked grin, he said, "Looks like I can't hide anymore," and suddenly burst into a menacing laughter that sent shivers down the spines of the divine hunters.
As the divine hunters closed in on Jin Hwa, Youngjae, the representative for Apollo, shouted in realization, "I knew it! You're the devil!" Athena wore an expression of shock and anger.
Without wasting a second, they launched their attack. But Jin Hwa swiftly activated his skill "Slumber," causing time to slow down. In that fleeting moment, he summoned his glaive and moved at lightning speed, striking each of the divine hunters one by one with unparalleled swiftness.
