Chapter 337

I am not a returner Episode 337:

Black Sky (1)

“Ha.”

After escaping from Cassia’s sudden attack(?).

Ojin let out a deep sigh and sat down on the treasures that had lost the magic contained within them, leaving only empty shells.

“So how did this happen?”

I looked at Cassia, who was twirling her hair with her index finger, as if feeling sorry for suddenly attacking Ojin.

“It’s just like I said. “I was mistaken because I felt the presence of Heavenly Demon here.”

The Heavenly Demon and himself had the same Black Heaven.

Nevertheless, looking at the simple classification as ‘the presence of the Heavenly Demon’, it did not seem to be a reaction to the Dark Heaven that Ojin possessed.

in other words.

It would be correct to think that the Heavenly Demon deliberately let his presence be known to lead her here in the first place.

“Have you been following the Heavenly Demon until now?”

Although I knew she was in the demon world.

I didn’t even know what I was doing wandering around in the devil’s eye.

“...To be exact, it is the Heavenly Demon’s body.”

“The artificial body?”

“yes. “The Heavenly Demon’s true body is currently sealed in Niflheim due to the restrictions of the law.”

“It’s sealed?”

Is that why you approached it by interfering with your subconscious rather than coming to meet him in person?

“yes. Well, it hasn’t been long since I found out about this.”

Cassia lets out a short sigh and shakes her head.

It seemed like a lot of things happened to Ojin while she was traveling around the kingdoms.

“So why are you chasing that corpse and trying to kill it?”

“That way, we can delay the release of the Heavenly Demon’s seal just a little longer.”

Slows the release of the seal.

The words I heard from Cheonma, ‘I’ll see you again soon,’ ran through my head.

“I already found and killed it three times... but this time I completely missed the mark.”

Cassia sighs and shakes her head.

‘Is that why you said earlier that you thought you would hide a little more closely this time?’

Instead of hiding from Cassia, the Cheonma was guided to aim for Ojin.

To release the seal that is imprisoning oneself.

“How long until the seal is released?”

“I don’t know exactly about that. However, looking at the recent movements of the demons in Niflheim....”

“I guess there isn’t much left.”

He even personally said, “I’ll see you again soon.”

The day when the seal of the Heavenly Demon will be released will not be long.

“...yes.”

Cassia nodded with a bitter expression.

Oh Jin looked at her smiling bitterly with her head down and asked quietly.

“Why... were you preventing the Heavenly Demon’s seal from being released?”

In a pure white snowy field.

The being who saved her from death was the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, the reason she was saved was because she needed a puppet to remove the disturbing beings on her behalf, as she was unable to move due to the restrictions of the law.

Anyway, from her perspective, Cheonma was a benefactor who saved her life.

“Oh, is that what Mr. Ojin is saying?”

Cassia smiled mischievously and came closer to Ojin.

“You told me. Oh Jin said he would become my new Heavenly Demon.”

“....”

Although I definitely said that.

I couldn’t tell how much Cassia believed those words.

Cassia lightly covered her mouth with her hand and burst into laughter.

“Of course, that’s not the only reason. “This is my own kind of atonement.”

expiation.

I had heard all too well about what she did while her mind was being controlled by the Heavenly Demon.

“I’ve killed too many things.”

I have lived with countless blood on my hands.

Even if it was not entirely one’s will, it cannot be said that there is no sin.

“...Cassia.”

“Hehe. I know that too. “What I’m doing is abominable.”

Even if she atones, it doesn’t change the fact that she took countless lives.

“why?”

“I don’t know if it’s Mr. Ohjin, but other people would be reluctant to be with ‘Bam’.”

Cassia speaks in a bitter voice.

“....”

Ohjin kept his mouth shut, unable to refute anything.

As she said, there were many people who would feel uncomfortable if they said they would accompany Cassia to Niflheim.

‘Right now, it’s the same with my sister.’

Although Cassia was under the control of the Heavenly Demon at the time, she had a record of killing Tamrangseong with her own hands.

From the perspective of Ha-eun, who lived with Tamrang-seong for a while while receiving his teachings, it would be difficult to look at Cassia without any emotions.

“I will take action to block the consciousness in my own way.”

Cassia smiled brightly and continued.

“Oh, I really have a favor to ask, could you please do it?”

“say it.”

“Can you leave without Bella this time?”

Are you going without Isabella?

“I think that would be difficult.”

Isabella was the best in the group, except for Ojin, who used Gaecheon.

In the first place, the plan to attack the Kingdom of Niflheim and stop the sealing ritual could not be accomplished without her.

“But why are you asking me to leave it out?”

“....”

Cassia twisted her hair with her fingers and gently avoided Ojin’s gaze.

“If we fail to prevent the ritual and the seal is released, the area around it will be filled with the energy of the Black Sky.”

“What’s the problem with that... ah.”

A short exclamation flowed from Ojin’s mouth.

Isabella was an awakened person who received power from the constellation Leech, one of the ‘black stars’.

‘And it was Cheonmaji who turned the constellation, which was originally called a satellite, into a black star.’

If we compare it to a family genealogy, I wonder if Heukcheon’s grandparent and Black Star are her parents.

in other words.

This means that a certain amount of the power of the Heavenly Demon already resides within her, just like the inheritance between children and parents.

‘If the Heavenly Demon is released from the seal in that state.’

Oh Jin recalled one of Black Heaven’s characteristics, ‘dominance’.

In the worst case, there was a risk that Isabella would become a puppet of the Heavenly Demon, just like Cassia.

“Then you too...”

Of course, Cassia, the awakened Black Star, was also at risk of becoming a puppet.

“Hehe. “I’m used to living as someone’s puppet.”

“....”

Are you going to go and stop the ritual even at the risk of it being controlled by the Heavenly Demon again?

“ha.”

I wanted to stop the ceremony without using Isabella or Cassia’s power.

‘It’s impossible.’

Both have too much power to give up.

To the point where it would be better to give up the plan to block the ritual itself than to give up both.

“First, let’s somehow prevent the ritual.”

If you fail and the seal of the Heavenly Demon is broken.

“At that time, Cassia, take Isabella with you and run away.”

“...all right.”

Cassia nodded with a heavy expression.

“I’ll just leave then. “If you’re caught with me, Oh Jin, you’ll be in trouble too.”

Cassia turned around, elegantly lifting the hem of her black dress.

Oh Jin turned around and looked at her and smiled.

“Anyway, it’s surprising.”

“Surprising?”

“I thought you and Bella weren’t on good terms, but I didn’t expect you to be this worried.”

“Tsk...!”

Cassia shakes her shoulders with a puzzled expression.

“I was just afraid that he would ruin the plan, so I asked him to leave. “He’s stubborn and greedy, so he’ll force himself even when he needs to get out.”

Cassia snorts and turns her head.

As he said those words, his earlobes that were slightly sticking out through his platinum-blonde hair turned red.

Ojin smiled slightly as he looked at Cassia’s back as she walked away.

‘I hope someday the day will come when our relationship will become good again.’

Ojin walked outside, imagining Cassia and Isabella laughing together.
