CH 272

Kali’s blood.

Elohim’s weak answer pierced my heart.

“…I kind of expected it.”

It was something I had guessed from the moment I heard from Li Wei that the blood was used to create the space.

Even in a space created by a large number of producers, it was impossible to realistically embody the characters who were actually living and moving.

And above all.

“It was really weird… I feel like I could really make anything with that blood…”

The fact that he accurately remembered the existence of blood even in a state of mental control and the words of praise as if he was possessed were decisive.

Elohim nodded his head, reading what I had in mind.

“Yeah. It’s also a reaction that appeared because of Kali’s blood. I wish he had a higher combat rating, but he was a producer.”

“It means that something else come out using that blood.”

“That’s right.”

“Has it ever been like that in the past?”

Elohim, who smiled strangely at my question, pointed before me with a deadly glance.

“Your hands don’t move at all. First of all, it’s breakfast time, so focus more on eating.”

“El.”

He was adamant even when I called him. Elohim opened his mouth again after I had eaten half of the porridge.

“Kali is just like us, so I know exactly the power of her blood. The power of the blood of the one closest to the world. So I didn’t use it in the first place.”

“It’s relatively recent.”

“Because she knows, too. The fact that this world is coming to an end.”

Elohim took the juice out of the refrigerator, placed a glass in front of me and filled it with juice. Bright yellow-orange juice filled the glass.

“As we consider it to be the last, so are the Praus Cult. They also are desperate for success this time around.”

“From the D45 Area Gate bombing, the attack on the guild management headquarters, the drug case, to the Doctor’s space. Praus Cult’s movements have shown that they were in a state of instability.”

“……”

“I have one question for you.”

I remembered the situation at the time of the attack on the guild management headquarters that I had seen through the book.

Buildings collapsing, screams of people in chaos, and black-masked men appearing through thick smoke.

“It’s pity that she failed. I want to see you go crazy.” (Chapter 182)

Samael, the white-masked with mental control ability in front of Cheon Sa-yeon.

“I’ve watched it so many times before turning back time, but what’s the point of all that? I can’t remember.”

The poisonous words he uttered and the pale, hardened face of Cheon Sa-yeon intertwined and swirled in my chest in a complicated way.

“Stand up, evolved people. We are the beings who will rightfully rule this world.”

“You don’t have to live under pressure even though you have power. We will do that.”

“We will build her works until true peace comes, we’re not silence.”

Even after reciting the purpose of the Praus Cult in a state of being controlled by Samael, one civilian talented person died as soon as Cheon Sa-yeon stopped him.

If it wasn’t for the dozens of cameras that were filming the scene and a person with the ability to analyze the body, Cheon Sa-yeon could have been in trouble.

“If the world is destroyed, the purpose of the Praus Cult will disappear without being fulfilled, that’s why the Praus Cult this kind of coercive?”

Elohim, who had been listening to me with eyes that felt somewhat sad, bowed his head with a firm expression.

“Because you have the right to make that decision.”

“What do you mean by the right to make that decision?”

“It would be better to see for yourself than to listen to me.”

“Through Cheon Sa-yeon’s past?”

“Yeah.”

I was rather confused by those words.

“…what kind of existence is Cheon Sa-yeon to Kali?”

“An existence that will make her desires come true.”

Drops of water on the glass slipped down quickly.

Elohim’s long hair fluttered in the autumn wind from the open window.

“Cheon Sa-yeon, who has been living the same time over and over for a long time, has more power than the usual SS-rank. The child’s original ability itself is also dangerous, but he has been fighting non-stop for a long time… The amount of accumulated power is beyond imagination.”

“……”

“It’s just that a talented person named Chloe Esner would recognize it. He is incomparable to the same SS-rank Ha Tae-heon.”

Cheon Sa-yeon lived a lot longer than Ha Tae-heon, including repeated times, so I knew he would be strong, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.

“At this time, Cheon Sa-yeon hasn’t fought for his life yet, so it’s understandable that you don’t know.”

“After hearing the explanation, I feel a little bit understanding him.”

Cheon Sa-yeon cut off his arm without hesitation as soon as it was confirmed that Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk were injured in the fight with Doctor.

He had to use his own blood as a weapon and I couldn’t even imagine how many wounds he must have done to his body.

When I lost my appetite and put down the spoon, Elohim showed a sign of understanding and handed me a glass of juice instead.

“Don’t force yourself to eat. Why not eat a sandwich later instead? It would be better to eat a little more often.”

“Thank you.”

It certainly made me feel a little better when I drank the sour juice instead of the porridge. After drinking half a glass of juice, I asked him about future plans.

“When should I read the book?”

“Take a rest until today. You don’t know how long it will take to see them all.”

“It’s likely that it will take more than four days.”

“The book is quite thick and the content isn’t easy… Most of all, since Kali appeared in person, that much energy will be consumed while watching.”

“I understand. Then I’ll see you tomorrow. And before I meet you, I want to talk to Cheon Sa-yeon for a moment.”

At that, Elohim smiled slightly.

“I don’t care. After all, Cheon Sa-yeon seems to have something to say to you, too.”

“Is that so?”

Cheon Sa-yeon would be back at dawn with other people at the latest, so I’ll suggest that we take a moment and talk for a while.

* * *

Those who left early in the morning all returned a little after midnight.

Everyone seemed quite tired, including Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, as there was a lot more work to do than expected.

“No matter how much the team members struggled… If I went abroad twice, I would die of exhaustion.”

“Me too. The healer team already has a lot of work to do, but when I was away, it was no joke.”

Behind the grumbling Park Geon-ho and Min Ah-rin, Kim Woo-jin and Woo Seo-hyuk silently nodded their heads without saying anything.

Considering that the guild was running like a normal company, it was understandable that they were so exhausted.

“Everyone worked hard. What are you holding?”

“I bought some food.”

Woo Seo-hyuk handed me the plastic bag he was holding. Lunch box… was it? What’s in this plastic container?

While looking into the plastic bag and tilting my head, Park Geon-ho, who came to check the kitchen, revealed the identity of the food.

“I bought some jokbal bossam (족발이랑 보쌈, pork feet and bossam) and packed lunch boxes, but I don’t know if the taste will be good. More than that. Why haven’t you eaten anything?”

“Pardon?”

“Did you starve all day long?”

Doubts quickly crept into the eyes of the people standing around me. I shouted out in a hurry because I was about to be questioned harshly at any moment.

“No! I ate. I ate porridge and sandwiches… Right, El?”

“It was much less than the amount of food for an adult male, but he ate.”

Why did you put such a useless explanation in front of them? As I averted my gaze, Ha Tae-heon took a deep breath and took off the watch he was wearing.

“Let’s start with eating.”

“Oh, I agree.”

“Okay~! Yi-gyeol-ssi, let’s go to the table.”

“Yes? No, I…”

It had been less than two hours since I ate sandwiches.

Min Ah-rin and Kwon Jeong-han grabbed my arms and dragged me as I looked back. Cheon Sa-yeon and Elohim, who stood side by side with their arms crossed and looked at me, smiled deeply when our eyes met.

‘Help me…’

It was incredibly annoying to see the two of them pretending not to know while clearly knowing everything.

In the end, I was forced to sit on a table chair and had a late meal, so I couldn’t be released until a long time later. I dragged my tired body back to my room and washed up right away.

Piik, pik!

Sitting on the window sill and looking outside, Fox flew to me and hugged me, wagging its tail, when I left the bathroom. I patted Fox’s back and yawned.

“Let’s go to bed right now.”

Pik!

At my words, Fox folded his eyes and smiled.

From that appearance, I could see Elohim’s face, who had just smiled without helping me earlier. This looked very similar to him.

I immediately turned off the lights and was about to lie down on the bed when I heard a knock on the door.

‘Who is it?’

Was this Ha Tae-heon again? I answered while buttoning up the pyjamas that Cheon Sa-yeon had prepared separately.

“Come in.”

Soon after, the door swung open and Kim Woo-jin, whose face was dyed red, entered the room with a nervous expression on his face.

“Kim Woo-jin? What’s up? Why is your face like that again? Are you sick?”

“N, no… just… I have something to talk about…”

Ah. Come to think of it, he said that he had something to talk about when he left in the morning. On behalf of Kim Woo-jin, who was standing timidly, I closed the open door and pointed to the bed.

“Just sit down.”

“……”

“What’s wrong?”

Just like when I was talking with Ha Tae-heon, I sat next to Kim Woo-jin on the bed and when I asked him again, he stuttered open his mouth with a redder face.

“So, I mean… me, too…”

“Oh.”

“Ho, house… I know it would be difficult to have a house this big… the house…”

House? What house? It was at that time when I just frowned because it was hard to understand.

Knock, knock.

A simple knock cut off Kim Woo-jin’s words. Was this time Ha Tae-heon? Or was it someone else?

“Wait a minute.”

“Uung…”

Walking back to the door, I grabbed the handle and opened it. Then, starting with Park Geon-ho and Min Ah-rin, who stood in front, Kwon Jeong-han, Woo Seo-hyuk, Ha Tae-heon, Cheon Sa-yeon, and Elohim caught my eye in turn.

“Yi-gyeol-ssi! Let’s chat early in the morning!”

“Iya, I was wondering where Kim Woo-jin went, he was already here.”

“…I’m sorry for the late hour.”

“Hyung, I brought some snacks that were given by Deputy Master Chloe with me. Would you like to eat it? You can brush your teeth one more time.”

“I’m glad he gave you a big room.”

“Why is everyone in my room… wait a minute!”

Bewildered, I was pushed and everyone rushed into the room.

What is this? I was terrified that I had a headache.

“If you’re going to do this, why don’t you just go to the living room on the first floor!”

“Different. The feeling of the place is different.”

“Don’t stress too much, Se-hyun-ah. Now, this is the macaron you like.”

The spacious room filled up in an instant.

What the hell was wrong with you guys. I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead.
