Chapter 381

I am not a returner Episode 381:

Sister (5)

Slurp, slurp.

Inside an abandoned building covered in shadows.

The eerie sound of a snake crawling across the floor rang out.

It’s not coming from either side.

Front, back, top, bottom and both sides.

Sounds echoed from all directions, as if trapped in a giant cage made of snakes.

“Whoa.”

Ojin added strength to his hand gripping the spear with a nervous expression.

By activating the stigmata of the constellation Canis, the senses of the entire body were heightened.

Slurp, slurp, slurp━

When the eerie sound suddenly quieted down.

‘come!’

Swarms of black snakes began to explode from all directions.

‘right.’

The first thing I reached was a snake rising from the moldy wall.

It turned the window like a windmill and exploded the thunderbolts that had been condensed inside the window.

Crumbling!

With a sound like thunder, hundreds of snakes were swept away by lightning.

Shaaaaaaa!

While he was defending against a snake attacking from the right, a snake approached Ojin and attached itself to his left arm.

In an instant, the snake wrapped around the left arm opened its huge maw and bit into Ojin’s forearm.

Crack.

As the sharp, awl-like teeth dug into my flesh, a tingling sensation spread down my arm.

‘Is it poison?’

Even if it were a poison, it wouldn’t be a lukewarm poison like a neurotoxin.

Even though the neurotoxin was a deadly poison that could cause death to an ordinary person, to an awakened person with a superhuman body, it was only a light poison that caused a brief numbness.

“Big.”

As expected, the snake’s venom that had penetrated inside began to run wild, tearing apart Ojin’s magic circuits in a wild manner.

The skin along the area where the fangs had dug in was seen to be dark and necrotic.

As the magic circuit is the path through which the stigmata’s magic moves, even light damage can lead to fatal internal injuries.

‘If it’s like this.’

Let’s go!

The magic power of the stigmata mixed with lightning burned the poison that had penetrated the circuit and instantly reduced the snake that had bitten the forearm to ashes.

‘charge.’

Ohjin moved to the right, where there were relatively few snakes, and concentrated a thunderbolt on his left arm.

“Blast.”

Crumbling!

The thunderbolt condensed in his left arm burst out like an explosion and swept away the snakes that were running towards him.

Although it was nothing more than a thunderbolt with about five ‘charges’ stacked on top of each other, the durability of the snakes was not that strong, so there was no problem in wiping them out in one go.

‘the problem is.’

Slurp, slurp.

No matter how much you sweep away, new snakes keep emerging from the shadows.

‘It won’t end like this.’

There was a way to lead the fight into a war of attrition, but it was unclear what Cassia, who had already suffered internal injuries and was unable to fight for a long time, would do to Isabella.

Ojin ignored the rushing snakes and kicked his feet towards Cassia.

“Oh, you’re finally looking at me.”

Cassia smiled brightly and lightly snapped her fingers, as if she had been waiting.

A huge arm emerged from the shadows and blocked Ojin’s path.

Ojin’s eyes shined sharply as he looked at the huge arm swinging with terrifying force.

Are you going through it?

Are you going back to avoid it?

The worries didn’t last long.

‘It pierces.’

He clenched his fists, drawing on his stigmata’s magical power.

The black dress she was wearing spread wide, as if absorbed into the floor, and began to cover the inside of the abandoned building with black shadows.

The sound of snakes begins to echo from all directions once again.

This time, the sound was echoing several times more than before.

‘Are you trying to make a quick decision?’

Ojin narrowed his eyes and strengthened his grip on the spear.

‘It’s hard to stop inside the building.’

It’s late at night.

The inside of the abandoned building, which had no lights, was covered in dark shadows.

For Cassia, who deals with shadows, there is no better battlefield than this.

‘I guess that’s why I called you here in the first place.’

No matter how I tried to avoid it, everything from the floor to the ceiling was covered in shadows, so there was no room to avoid it.

‘There is nowhere to escape from the realm of shadows here.’

then.

“Use it.”

Ojin spread his arms and fired a wire towards the wall.

Taang!

The wire fired from the wire shooter dug into the rusty wall and became stuck.

At the same time.

Shaaaaaaa!

Black snakes began pouring out from the shadows like a tidal wave.

Ojin kicked his feet to avoid the snakes pouring out with terrifying force.

Like a scene from a famous science fiction movie, hundreds of snakes rushed after Ojin, who was running up the wall.

“haha. “There’s no use running away, right?”

Cassia gasped and frowned as if in pain.

His body was staggering as if he would collapse at any moment, but even in that state, the momentum of the snakes attacking him from all directions was not decreasing at all.

Squeeze! Pajik!

Ojin continued to run inside the large abandoned building, cutting down the fiercely charging snakes with his spear.

“Hmm. “You’re fast.”

Cassia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the snakes that were having a hard time catching Ojin.

“But what if it were like this?”

The stigmata engraved on Cassia’s left chest radiated light, and gloomy magic seeped into the shadows.

Sigh!

The snake’s long, whip-like tail rose up as if it were exploding.

Not the floor, the ceiling, or the shadows on the walls.

In the shadow of Ojin, who is running away from the charging snakes.

“No matter how fast you are, you can’t be faster than your own shadow, right?”

Just like she said.

No matter how quickly you move, you cannot move faster than your own shadow.

“I guess so.”

Ojin nodded as if he knew and stood tall in place.

There were so many black snakes everywhere that it was difficult to even find a place to escape.

‘If running away is impossible.’

Ojin stretched out his hand and grabbed the wire in front of him.

As he climbed the walls and walked around the inside of the abandoned building, wires filled the inside of the building like spider webs.

“Just burn it all and that’s it.”

He raised Stigmata’s magical power to its limit and sent a lightning bolt through the wire he was holding.

Let’s go, let’s go!

A blue lightning bolt runs along a wire spread inside an abandoned building.

The snakes that touched the wire stretched out tightly like a spider’s web burst into pieces, and the dark inside of the abandoned building instantly became as bright as day.

“Tsk...”

Cassia takes a step back with her eyes narrowed.

His body was staggering backwards, perhaps due to internal injuries.

Coo!

Without missing the opportunity, Ojin rushed in and grabbed Cassia’s delicate neck.

“Big!”

He looked down at her gasping for breath with a contorted expression in pain and opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“Let’s stop this bullshit, Cassia.”
