"Fuck!" Moon Issak immediately retreated, a short curse spilling from his lips. The mysterious, unidentified red liquid only spilled so much as to reach the place where the investigator had been before evaporating quickly.

However, Dawon-ie's appearance remained unusual.

Dawon's wrists were still bound, but the shackles were floatingas if he had ripped' the shackles from its grounding links completely. The same was true of the shackles grounding his ankles. Dawon-ie still remained floating, except in the air rather than liquid.

Meanwhile, still feeling a bit flustered, Moon Issak immediately swung his summoned rod at Dawon. "Die!"

Creaakk!

However, before the staff could reach Dawon, the air near the Mage's body began to distort, accompanied by a strange reverberation.

Clang!

The staff bounced back as if it had met a strong, repulsive force.

Due to the strength of the recoil, Moon Issak's grip must have become slightly numb. He adjusted his grip, grit his teeth, and shouted, "[Angelica]!"

Beautiful lines of light were drawn, one by one, behind Moon Issak's back. In addition, his huge body shrunk, returning to a size similar to when I first met him.

During this transformation, a halo-like glow continued to emanate from behind Moon Isaac. Moreover, the flowing light now took the form of giant wings, moving deftly at his back.

At that moment, Moon Issak's feet lifted off the ground and hovered in the air.

[The Goddess's warrior, after being bestowed her blessed name and being recognized as Apostle,' has released his power.]

The system message spouted something incomprehensible, and I, feeling a bit threatened, stepped back.

Moon Issak's aura was unusual; the bastard's eyes flashed and gleamed with a blue glow. The ground beneath him that had been firm just moments ago seemed to sag as if buckling under the weight of something heavy.

Crackle!

Blue lightningor something like itsparked around Moon Issak before subsiding.

The lightning felt like an electric current surrounding Moon Issak. It was beautifullike an eternal meteor shower, but the beauty didn't erase Moon Issaks desolate bloodthirst.

Dawon-ah'

Despite everything that was unfurling, Dawon-ie was still floatingdeathly stillin the air. His dark, crimson eyes were unfocused, and it was hard to glean where he was looking. This line of thought was no longer relevant, as those eyes soon closed.

I found it hard for me to tear my eyes away from Dawon, who was pale and lifeless like a doll. A foreboding, ominous feelinglike something had gone terribly wrongflowed through my entire body.

"[Purifying Light]." Simultaneously, Moon Issak raised his pointer finger while chanting a skill. Soon, a bright light gathered at his fingertipthe light was so intense I couldn't even look at it properly.

Even though I was just a spirit, I closed my eyes momentarily because of the blinding light. Just before I closed my eyes, I saw Moon Issak shooting the sphere of dense light he had collected at his fingertips towards Seo Dawon. However, I couldn't even move to defend the Mage.

Cr-r-runch!

"You"

A moment later, when the harsh light faded from my eyelids, I quickly opened my eyes and witnessed an incomprehensible scene.

Dawon-ie remained stillnot even a blink. Furthermore, the skill that Moon Issak shot still couldn't reach the Mage.

I hurried to his side, "I'm here. Right now Dawon-ie to Moon Issak"

Actually, was that really something Dawon-ie did?

I stopped in the middle of my sentence and looked at Dawon, in front of Moon Issak who was rolling around in his own blood.

Seo Dawon was staring down at Moon Issak with an utterly bored face. He didn't do anything, but his placid expression was scarier than any action.

I lowered my voice and said to Choi Kyung-sik, "It does seem like Dawon-ieis dealing with him, but"

Upon hearing my words, Choi Kyung-sik visibly relaxed, letting out a deep sigh. "Ah That's a relief."

""

Was that really a relief? I couldn't shake off these uneasy feelings and remained silent.

At that moment, Moon Issak suddenly raised his left hand. And, seeing what was held within that hand, I almost threw up. "Uuurgh"

Did he really rip *it* off with his own hand?

I latched onto Choi Kyung-sik and shuddered. Noticing my queasiness, he held me carefully. "Choi Lee-kyung-ssi, let's release this Possession' first, hm?"

""

I nodded slowly; as soon as I lifted the [Possession] skill, my vision turned black.

Fortunately, Choi Kyung-sik opened his inventory as soon as he returned to his ghostly state and immediately cut off the bag that covered my head.

However, Choi Kyung-sik paused in the middle of cutting; he suddenly blocked my front.

"Ahehehekeurgh!"

But, I couldn't overcome my curiosity and looked straight aheadthrough the gaps Choi Kyung-sik's body couldn't cover.

Moon Isaak groaned in agony as he forcibly severed his own ring finger. While Seo Dawon didn't say a word, it was clear that the Mage was the one making Moon Isaak harm himself.

"Don't look anymore."

"Ah"

Even after my view was covered, the gasping screams would not end. It seems that Moon Issak's special constitution prevented his death.

[This is so easy, why did I]

At that moment, Dawon-ie mumbled in a dry tone. His muttering concerned me.

What's'

Something was wrong.

Just as I thought that, Dawon-ie looked up. Our eyes met.
