I am not a returner Episode 397:
Star of Reverse Heaven (10)
“That… what do you mean?”
Cassia’s expression hardened.
Cheonma.
A chill ran down her spine as she remembered the person who had been using her as a puppet for the past ten years.
“Are you really saying that there is a Heavenly Demon around here right now?”
“No, Cassia, I can feel it inside your stigmata.”
If the energy of the Heavenly Demon was felt around him, Vega would have noticed it before Ojin did.
“…My stigmata?”
“huh.”
It was not difficult to guess why the energy of the Heavenly Demon was suddenly felt within the stigmata of Ophiuchus.
‘In the first place, the stigmata of the Black Star Constellation contains the power of the Black Sky.’
The constellation that gave her the stigmata accepted the power of the Heavenly Demon, so it is natural that the energy of the Heavenly Demon can be felt from the stigmata she carries.
‘That’s why I’ve been living as a puppet of the Heavenly Demon for the past 10 years.’
As soon as Ohjin heard the word ‘Cheonma’, he smiled bitterly as he looked at Cassia, who was gently grabbing his collar with an anxious expression.
“What do you mean, I can feel the energy of the Heavenly Demon within my stigmata?”
“There is no need to be so scared. Cassia, you know that the stigmata of the Black Star Constellation contain the power of the Heavenly Demon, right?”
Having lived as a puppet of the Heavenly Demon for over 10 years, you probably know better than anyone else.
“Oh yeah. “I know that…”
Cassia suddenly tilted her head with a look in her eyes as if asking why she was asking that.
Didn’t Ojin already know that the stigmata of Ophiuchus contain some of the power of the Heavenly Demon?
Ohjin opened his mouth, carefully touching the stigmata of Cassia, who was looking at him with questioning eyes.
“I haven’t felt the energy of the Heavenly Demon until now.”
“yes?”
“Even if it contains the power of the Heavenly Demon, it’s only a small portion, right?”
According to the genealogy, the power was transferred from Heavenly Demon -> Constellation -> Stigmata, so the power of the Black Heaven that came to awakened people like Cassia and Isabella was only a small part.
Of course, it seems that just that amount is sufficient for Black Heaven’s ‘dominion’.
In any case, the power was not at a level that Ojin could sense until now.
but.
‘I can feel it now.’
Could know.
I could feel it.
The energy of the Black Heaven resides within the stigmata of the constellation Ophiuchus engraved on her chest.
‘Something that didn’t exist didn’t suddenly appear.’
It’s probably been there ever since the moment Mobius first bestowed the stigmata on her.
but.
It’s just that I haven’t been able to feel it at a level until now.
In other words, in other words.
“So what you’re saying is that you’re feeling an energy you’ve never felt before…”
“Yes. “Now it’s at least at a similar level.”
This probably means that he has now caught up to the level of the ‘Heavenly Demon’.
‘Honestly, I’m not sure if I should like the fact that I’m keeping up with my toes.’
It was quite encouraging to be able to hang on to the edge of a cliff with one’s hands resting on it, rather than just staring up at a cliff that was so far away that I couldn’t even reach it.
“You are so amazing. Ojin!”
Cassia shouted with admiration, her emerald eyes sparkling brightly.
As someone who knew better than anyone else here about the amazing state that the Heavenly Demon had achieved, she couldn’t help but feel pure awe.
“There’s no need to make such a fuss.”
Hearing Cassia’s excited voice, Ojin cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
No, it wasn’t really that he was on the same level as the Heavenly Demon, he was barely at the level of holding on to his pants, but it was a bit weird to hear that he was this great.
“no! “What a great thing that is!”
“I told you not to do it.”
I shook my head and sighed.
“Anyway, there’s something I want to test.”
“You want to try it out?”
“Just stay still for a moment.”
Ohjin held his hand on Cassia’s stigmata and slowly increased the power of the Black Heaven.
Grumbling.
A black cloud spewed out from the fingertips and flowed into the stigmata of Ophiuchus.
“Tsk…!”
Cassia’s body trembled.
Oh Jin quietly closed his eyes and concentrated.
‘I can feel it.’
A constellation rising in the night sky.
I saw dark clouds hiding within the brilliantly shining starlight.
Ojin slowly extended his energy towards the dark heaven of the Heavenly Demon hidden within the stigmata of Ophiuchus.
I grabbed the black cloud that had settled inside the stigmata like a parasite and forcibly pulled it out.
“Ah! Ugh…!”
Cassia’s body began to jump and tremble as if she was having a seizure.
The sensation of the dark energy that had been rooted in her stigmata being uprooted was a pain that shook her as if a part of her soul had been cut out.
“Hold on a little.”
“Huh… Yes Oh Oh Jin.”
Cassia bit her lip as she heard a warm voice coming from the pain of her head turning white.
Ojin carefully removed the energy of the Heavenly Demon located within the stigmata of Ophiuchus.
but.
‘Magic power is too unstable.’
As the energy of the black sky disappeared, the magic power of the stigmata began to fluctuate wildly and ravage her entire body.
It was as if the ground he was standing on suddenly gave way and he was struggling.
‘The energy of the Heavenly Demon has already become part of the stigmata.’
In that case, it was impossible to return Cassia’s stigmata to their original state through simple ‘removal’.
Even if it was a malignant tumor, if it was forcibly cut out as a part of the body, blood would be seen.
‘then.’
Ojin poured in his energy and filled the space where the Heavenly Demon’s Black Heaven had fallen.
“haha!”
The wildly fluctuating magic calmed down and Cassia’s breathing became stable.
“Whew. it’s over.”
Ojin got off Cassia, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Now I will never be ‘dominated’ by that guy again.”
When the Heavenly Demon appeared in the Demon World, Cassia and Isabella collapsed in pain due to the influence of his ‘Dark Heaven’.
but.
Since the energy of the Heavenly Demon in the stigmata has been completely cut out and replaced with your own, you will no longer be affected by his ‘domination’.
‘and.’
Even if the Dark Heaven possessed by the Heavenly Demon completely disappears, Cassia and Isabella will not die along with them.
All the shackles that were binding her were now completely gone.
‘Of course, those shackles were replaced with me.’
In any case, it was a shackle that was as good as nothing unless he used the ‘Dominance’ trait.
“…ah.”
Cassia’s green eyes widened.
She carefully stroked the stigmata and opened her mouth in a trembling voice.
“So… are you saying that the Heavenly Demon’s energy has completely disappeared from within me?”
“that’s right.”
“….”
A shiver spreads down my spine.
Tears began to form in Cassia’s eyes.
“What is it? what’s the matter?”
“…Huh.”
Seeing Ojin in panic, Cassia couldn’t help but burst out in tears.
Does he know?
As long as he said it was nothing, how much his actions meant to her.
“I was always… always anxious.”
The fact that the energy of the Heavenly Demon remains within him.
The fact that the Heavenly Demon could always turn her into a puppet again if he wanted to.
And above all.
“I was constantly worried that I might hurt Ojin again with my own hands.”
“….”
Were you worried about that?
Ojin smiled bitterly and patted Cassia’s sobbing back.
‘Unlike his usual relaxed appearance, he is quite soft-hearted.’
Cassia and Isabella may not have been sisters, but they also looked similar in this regard.
“are you okay. “I don’t have to worry about that anymore.”
“Sniff… thank you.”
Cassia leaned her head on Ojin’s chest and smiled brightly.
I was in the middle of comforting Cassia, who was sobbing.
“How long are you going to cling to Oh Jin?”
Isabella came over and pulled Cassia’s shoulder.
Cassia narrowed her eyes and glanced at Isabella, as if she didn’t like it at all.
“The atmosphere was nice for a while, so why are you disturbing me?”
“joy. “Then, are you just going to quietly watch the scene of the affair?”
“Oh my, if someone heard this, would they think I was already married?”
The two sisters start growling again.
Oh Jin sighed and shook his head.
“Stop fighting, both of you.”
“Why is it fun?”
Ha-eun burst into laughter as she chewed popcorn.
“…Is now your time to have fun?”
In fact, shouldn’t Ha-eun be more uncomfortable with this situation than anyone else?
“Because of Mr. Gumnu, I have become a bit more mentally disciplined in this area.”
“…Keuhum.”
Oh Jin, who had no words to rebut, cleared his throat and shook his head.
Isabella came towards him.
“Oh Jin, then you can also erase the energy of the Heavenly Demon within my stigmata?”
“of course.”
Although the types of stigmata they both possess are different, they both contain the power of the Heavenly Demon, so it was not difficult to replace them with your own Black Heaven.
“Then can I ask you a favor?”
Isabella smiled brightly, took Ojin’s hand and placed it on her left chest.
Mulkyung.
An overwhelming presence transmitted through the palm of your hand.
At that moment, the illusion of a huge mountain range blocking my view passed through my head.
“….”
“Oh, why are you doing that?”
Isabella burst out laughing and gave a playful look in her eyes.
Cassia’s expression, who was watching this from behind, suddenly became distorted.
“Why is your reaction so different from when you touched mine?”
“Isn’t that obvious, sister?”
Isabella smiled like a winner and raised her shoulders as high as possible.
Cassia nervously bit her nails and glared at Isabella with fierce eyes.
“I need to concentrate, so stop.”
Ojin ignored the sensation passing through his palm as much as possible and raised the energy of the black sky.
Just like with Cassia, he eradicated the energy of the Heavenly Demon within Isabella’s stigmata and replaced it with his own.
“…ah.”
A soft elasticity leaking out between the lips.
Isabella smiled brightly as she touched the stigmata on her left breast.
“I feel like Mr. Oh Jin has come inside me.”
“You mean Heukcheon, right?”
“It’s somehow warm and cozy.”
“no.”
Hey, lady.
Why are you doing this to me?
When Ojin was holding his forehead as if he had a headache.
“Ugh…! “Ugh!”
Isabella’s expression distorted and blood-red magic began to spurt out fiercely.
Magical power spreads widely like fog.
Isabella let out a painful moan while clutching her left breast.
“…This.”
A sight that no awakened person can recognize.
It was an ‘elevation of stigmata’ that I had recently experienced as a result of a misdiagnosis.
