I am not a returner Episode 214:
Snake’s Head (7)
“….”
Ojin stared at the halved crack with a hardened expression.
Myself and Isabella.
If only one of them can escape here.
‘There is only one person left.’
Biting my lip, I cut the bundle of tentacles flying quickly with my spear.
Sigh!
Yellow pus gushed out from the cross section of the tentacle and sprayed onto the floor.
The earth is melting and emitting smoke.
“Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!” Kererek!”
Ojin added strength to the hand holding the spear as he watched the mother beast gradually narrowing the distance.
‘Can I kill him?’
If only he and Isabella joined forces.
Maybe we can even kill that absurd demonic beast?
“…no.”
I gently bit my lip and shook my head.
What if Isabella and herself were in the best condition right now?
It was already after a battle that lasted for several hours without stopping.
‘Even if that weren’t the case, it wouldn’t have been easy for him.’
Did Vega say that he could feel the energy of the Holy Spirit?
Considering the absurd power that Riak had, it was absurd to deal with a magical beast that had inherited part of the constellation’s soul.
‘then.’
Ojin looked towards Isabella.
Isabella was fiercely swinging her blood-red scythe to block the tentacles approaching Ojin.
‘If only one person has to stay.’
Who should stay between himself and Isabella?
“….”
The worries didn’t last long.
No matter how much they talk about the constellation of the North Star and all, he is still only an 8-star, and Isabella already has the highest level of power among the 10-stars.
Isn’t it obvious which of the two is better able to ‘survive’ here?
“haha. Oh Jin! “Why aren’t you going through the crack quickly?”
The tentacles that were constantly rushing in stopped for a moment due to her attack.
Isabella came over and grabbed Ojin’s arm.
“hmm?”
Isabella frowned as she looked at the black crack, which had shrunk to half the size it had been when she first saw it.
The words I heard from Vega a little while ago, ‘the energy of the crack is dangerous’, naturally came to mind.
“Oh Jin, no way… this.”
It was not difficult for Isabella to realize why the size of the crack suddenly halved and why Ojin was standing still instead of going into the crack.
“….”
“….”
Ojin and Isabella’s eyes crossed in the air.
“I’m sorry Isabella.”
Ohjin chewed his lips and lowered his head.
I didn’t want to say this even if it meant dying.
Although I know it’s something I shouldn’t say.
“Please stay here.”
If one of the two must remain.
that.
“ah.”
Isabella let out a low exclamation with a slightly shocked expression.
Oh Jin continued speaking urgently.
“don’t worry. “I will definitely come back to save you.”
This wasn’t the only crack leading to the Demonic Land.
For an awakened person with transcendental power like Isabella, it would not be difficult to run away and hide from that magical beast.
If she gives me time, I can return here with all the force I can muster.
“I have met with Deneb’s apostles before.”
It wasn’t a good relationship, though.
If Vega bows to Deneb directly, Deneb will help her even though she will giggle due to her personality.
Ohjin recalled the suffocating energy he felt when he faced Allen Oscar.
If he is considered one of the strongest within the Seven Stars, he will be able to deal with even the Holy Spirit of the Black Star.
“…okay.”
Isabella looked at Ojin with sad eyes, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“That’s right, if you stay, it’s right for me to stay.”
She knows that fact better.
Because right now, she had much stronger power than Ojin.
Isn’t it reasonable for the one with the highest chance of survival to remain?
“…sorry.”
Oh Jin clenched his fists and lowered his head.
Isabella lightly stroked his back as if to comfort him.
“are you okay. “Do you understand everything?”
A hand gently stroking your back.
“Because Mr. Oh Jin… has an older sister, Ha-eun.”
“….”
Oh Jin’s expression hardened.
Isabella giggled as if her stiff expression was very funny.
“You said that because you were thinking of your sister who would be left alone, right?”
“…that.”
“Hehe. “Do you know that what Oh Jin cherishes the most is your sister?”
Isabella carefully adds, “Not yet.”
“I’ll definitely come to save you.”
Oh Jin lowered his head and only made an indefinite promise.
Isabella looked at Ojin with a sad expression.
Seeing him suffering from guilt made me feel at ease.
At the very least, it would mean that the existence of Isabella Colgrande had settled into his mind enough to make him feel that level of guilt.
‘thank god.’
Isabella rubbed her chest and smiled faintly.
Coo coo coo coo!
I felt the ground shaking and saw the mother beast approaching.
Isabella looked up at the mother beast, which looked absolutely hideous, and bit her lip gently.
‘Can I run away?’
According to Ojin’s wishes.
Will you be able to survive this magical beast while left alone?
‘…I don’t think it will be easy.’
I had already used quite a bit of power in the previous battle.
I don’t know if it was in perfect condition, but right now there was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to escape from the demon beast easily.
but.
“Well, it’s not that difficult if I just run away alone.”
“…okay?”
“yes. On the contrary, Mr. Ohjin’s presence will hinder our ability to escape.”
Isabella continued speaking in a calm voice.
Shoooooooo!
At that time, the tentacle attack, which had been quiet for a while, began again.
“Ugh!”
Let’s go!
Ojin hurriedly raised his spear and blocked the tentacles that were attacking him fiercely.
Is he trying to avenge his dead cub?
The demonic beast was persistent enough to shoot its tentacles targeting only Ojin.
‘If this is the case, I won’t be able to pretend to be a bait like Mr. Ojin before.’
Isabella placed her wrist on the blade of the blood-red scythe in her hand.
Sigh!
The artery was cut and red blood spurted out like a fountain.
“ha.”
A bloody storm began to swirl around Isabella, who let out a low breath.
“This Isabella?”
“I will protect Mr. Oh Jin until the crack.”
Sigh! Sigh!
The blood-red storm swirling around Isabella roughly tore apart the tentacles shooting out at Ojin.
She ran to the place where the crack had shrunk to half its size, pulling Ojin’s arm as he looked at her with a worried expression.
“Isabella, too, I…”
Oh Jin, who was being grabbed by Isabella and running away, opened his mouth as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Hehe. Do you know that, Oh Jin?”
Isabella smiled brightly as she looked at him.
“If Oh Jin had said he would stay, I would have used ‘orders’ to force him to go.”
“….”
“Do not worry. Even for me, it is difficult to deal with the Holy Spirit, but it is not difficult to run away.”
Isabella arrived in front of the crack that had shrunk to half its size, as if admonishing her for a misdiagnosis.
As the crack got closer, the fear I had tried to forget began to grow.
‘…perhaps.’
Fear that I might never see him again.
The fear that this might be the last time.
They became heavy shackles and held her feet.
‘are you okay.’
Even if I never see you again.
Even if we can’t meet again.
If only she could save him with her own life.
If only I could protect the beautiful and precious hope that was newly conceived in my heart.
This level of fear was nothing.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! “Keruk!”
Coo! Okay! bang!
The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred once again.
The mother beast, which was a considerable distance away at first, was soon right in front of us, moving its long legs like a cockroach.
Isabella stood with her back to the crack as if blocking it.
“Go quickly, Oh Jin. There is no time.”
The blood storm surrounding her body was gradually weakening.
“….”
Ojin narrowed his eyes and looked down at the black crack that had shrunk to 50cm in size.
Ohjin looked alternately at the black crack and at Isabella, who had her back turned, and nodded slightly.
“Okay, this distance should be enough.”
“Oh Jin! “Why don’t you go quickly?”
When Isabella, who was blocking the tentacles, turned her head in frustration.
“Ugh?!”
Ojin quickly hugged her waist and locked lips with her.
Isabella’s eyes widened and her body stiffened at the unexpected kiss.
Oh Jin-eun confirmed that the strength in her body was gone.
“Huh cha.”
He pulled her tightly around her waist and threw her into the remaining crack.
“Oh Mr. Ojin! “What is this…!”
Isabella’s body disappeared into the black crack, and the remaining half of the crack completely closed.
“She really makes people tired.”
Ojin chuckled and turned his back on the completely closed crack.
‘I feel a little sorry for my sister.’
I touched the soft texture that still remained on my lips with my hand.
It was clearly wrong to kiss Isabella over a lover named Ha-eun, but there was no other way to force Isabella into the crack without giving her a chance to ‘order’ him.
‘When I go back, I’ll be nagging again.’
Oh Jin smiled and raised his head.
“Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Wow, I really can’t get used to what you look like.”
The mother demon beast let out a bizarre scream and opened its mouth, which was torn all the way to its temples.
Yellow pus poured out of his mouth like a waterfall and poured down on Ojin’s head.
“No, really.”
O-jin cursed and widened the distance by stepping on the scar.
But maybe it was because the scope was so wide.
A stream of yellow pus was pouring out and completely hit Ojin.
“Ugh!”
Cheeeeeek!
The three shields created in front of Ojin melted in an instant.
The orange bracelet on my wrist lost its shine and broke.
“damn.”
It was something I cherished.
Ojin frowned as he looked down at the bracelet that had fallen on the floor.
“Keruk! “Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The mother demon beast must have thought that she had completely cornered her prey, and let out a bizarre laugh from the corner of her torn mouth.
Ojin looked up at the mother beast and was lost in thought for a moment.
Who should stay between himself and Isabella?
Which of the two will be able to ‘survive’ here?
“Why are you even worrying about that?”
Think about it with common sense.
Isn’t it natural that those who remain have a higher chance of survival?
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! “Kerrruk!”
“You think so too, right?”
Slowly raise your hand and place it on your left chest.
He recited the spell in a low voice.
“He who passes by me━ To the Garden of Lament.”
Black clouds rose up like an explosion.
