I am not a returner Episode 217:
Snake’s Head (10)
My heart is pounding.
Cheon Sang-gil’s heart, which had been cruelly plucked out by some kind of magic, was fluttering like a freshly caught fish.
“I have stored it so that its vitality and star magic do not escape so that you can eat it fresh!”
Cassia had a big smile on her face and wiggled her butt like a puppy looking for praise.
“….”
Oh Jin kept his mouth shut as he looked at his pulsating heart.
It was so disgusting that just looking at it made me feel nauseous.
I couldn’t refuse the gift here.
‘I have to eat.’
In order to make Queen Serpent continue to think that he was the ‘Heavenly Demon’, he had to use the Black Heaven directly in front of her eyes to prove that he was the Heavenly Demon.
“Feel so good.”
“Hehehe. “I’m glad you like it.”
Cassia rolled over, wagging her long tongue that reached down to her chest like a tail.
Ohjin held the heart she held out in his hand.
The warmth of the grotesque heart, pulsating and throbbing, was transmitted through my hands.
‘Elder.’
I didn’t have a deep relationship with Cheon Sang-gil.
But even so, as I held in my hands the heart of my benefactor, who had helped me a lot in one way or another, complex emotions filled my head.
Oh Jin erased the thoughts that filled his head and created a dark cloud.
Grumbling.
A dark cloud flowed out and enveloped my pulsating heart.
“iced coffee.”
Cassia let out a low exclamation as she looked at the black clouds surrounding her heart.
He knelt down with an expression of awe and folded his hands together like a believer praying to God.
“Darkness of the dark sky… save us from the arrogant starlight.”
Rumbling!
A distant magical power flowing through dark clouds.
The magical power of the stigmata that Heavenly Road must have possessed during his lifetime was sucked into the Black Heaven.
-Tiring!
Just like in Damian’s time, the magical power of the Heavenly Path did not completely dissolve into the body and hid itself between the dark clouds.
Although I felt it was a pity that I couldn’t use the magic power after absorbing it.
‘I can’t help it.’
They say their level isn’t good enough right now, so what can they do?
For now, I will have to be satisfied with the fact that I have obtained one more stigmata of the 12 zodiac signs.
‘If it was the stigmata of Capricorn… it was the stigmata that could freely manipulate sound.’
This time, I wanted to quickly test out Capricorn’s stigmata along with the newly acquired trait of ‘vaporization’ while absorbing the mother demon beast.
Unfortunately, there was no time to leisurely test out my newly acquired abilities right now.
“Have you enjoyed your meal?”
Cassia looked up at Ojin, using an extreme honorific that seemed like something out of a historical drama.
Oh Jin nodded lightly.
“Ha! Thank you!”
Why is she saying thank you when she is the one who received it?
“Hehe. From now on… I will pull out more hearts and offer them to the Heavenly Demon.”
Cassia licked her tongue with an eerie smile.
Ojin’s eyebrows furrowed.
‘This guy really has no answer.’
It’s not something you just use and sleep on.
She was so damaged that it was already too late to turn around.
‘We can’t do it like we did with Isabella.’
Oh Jin’s eyes shone coldly.
She was having a crazy faith in herself.
So much so that it wouldn’t be strange if they literally ripped out their heart and offered it up.
“Rather than this trivial heart… I want to eat your heart.”
He looked down at Cassia who was kneeling and said.
If she harbors fanatical faith in herself.
If you’re crazy enough to rip out your own heart and offer it up.
‘I can kill you right here.’
There is no need to risk playing the role of the Heavenly Demon, just order her to ‘death’ right here and now.
“…yes?”
“I said I wanted to eat your heart.”
He said as he walked towards Cassia, who opened her eyes wide as if it was an unexpected question.
“….”
Cassia keeps her mouth shut.
The tense tension subsided.
Cassia slowly got up from her seat and approached Ojin.
I thought he was slowly extending his hand towards his left breast.
Slurp!
A green snake leapt out of the elongated shadow and instantly wrapped around Ojin’s body.
“…!”
Ojin, unable to properly resist and bound by the snake, opened his eyes wide.
‘What is it?’
I was so surprised by the completely unexpected development that my heart jumped out, but I tried to remain relaxed as much as possible so as not to show it on the outside.
“Hmm. “It’s strange…”
Cassia narrowed her eyes and looked at Ojin tied to the green snake.
She came gliding across the floor and groped Ojin’s chest with her hand.
“Surely Heavenly Demon didn’t say that before?”
The forked tongue licked Ojin’s chest.
“If he were to give the order to sacrifice his life, it would be someone other than himself.”
Ojin took a deep breath at her continued words.
‘Damn it.’
I completely stepped on a landmine.
‘So… that Cheonma guy even expected this situation?’
Cassia will mistake herself for the ‘Heavenly Demon’.
To take advantage of her loyalty and order her death.
From the beginning, from the distant past.
Was everyone expecting it?
‘What the hell is that guy?’
Is he really a god?
Ohjin swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth in as calm a voice as possible.
“You remembered.”
“Hehe. sure. “You haven’t forgotten a single word that Heavenly Demon said?”
“okay.”
Oh Jin was unfazed and nodded with a calm expression.
If you get embarrassed and make a fuss here, you will end up like a thief.
“…Is that the end of what you have to say?”
Cassia frowned slightly.
She carefully moved the hand on Ojin’s chest and stroked his stigmata.
The stigmata of Lyra was engraved on his chest.
she could tell
What lies dormant within this thin fabric is the infinitely expanding black sky.
“If you are not the real Heavenly Demon… then who are you? Why do you have Black Heaven?”
I asked, changing the way I spoke of extreme honorifics that would be used in historical dramas.
“I am a thousand.”
“…but.”
“However, some of the memories are sealed now.”
“Hmm?”
Cassia opened her eyes wide.
“There was no other way to prevent the Black Sky from running away.”
“…Are you telling me to believe that?”
“then.”
Ojin stared at her with deeply sunken eyes.
“You mean there are two black heavens?”
Cassia’s expression hardened.
It was certainly difficult to believe that part of the memory was sealed to prevent the runaway Black Heaven, but it was even more absurd to say that there were two Black Heavens instead of one.
“Then is it because of the seal that the Heavenly Demon became weak?”
Ojin nodded.
Cassia licked her long tongue and muttered in a low voice.
“Now that I think about it, you said before that the Black Heaven that the Heavenly Demon possesses is still in an imperfect state.”
…You said it was incomplete?
Of course, he didn’t remember saying that, but Ohjin nodded quietly.
“I am sorry, my God, for daring to doubt you.”
The green snake that was binding Ojin slithered back into her shadow.
Cassia bowed her head at Ojin’s feet.
Oh Jin lifted her prone body and opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“No, thank you for doubting me. “It means that you remembered me and didn’t forget me.”
“Cheonma-nim…”
Cassia looked at Ojin with trembling eyes.
“anyway. “There is no need to bring another heart and offer it to me now.”
“But in order to unseal the Heavenly Demon, more hearts are needed…”
“I said there was no need.”
He frowned and said with a slightly angry expression.
“I’m sorry!”
I urgently caught Cassia, who was trying to lie down.
“Now I am disguising myself as an apostle of Jiknyeo Castle to hide my identity. “If they find out that I possess the Dark Heaven, the arrogant constellations will not remain silent.”
“Ah… I see.”
He let out an exclamation and nodded, as if he now understood why he said there was no need to sacrifice his heart.
“Hehe. “It is indeed Heavenly Demon.”
Cassia nodded, looking at Ojin with an expression of awe.
“No matter how many constellations they are, they would never dream that the Apostle of the North Star possesses the Dark Heaven.”
Accurate.
That’s why Oh Jin tried to win the title ‘Hero’ in the first place.
“In that case, the most important thing now is to complete the incomplete Black Heaven and restore the Heavenly Demon’s memories.”
Cassia said with sparkling eyes.
‘How to complete the incomplete Black Heaven.’
As Cassia said, if the ‘Heavenly Demon’s’ current dark heaven is incomplete, then the Heavenly Demon’s purpose would be to complete that imperfect dark heaven.
‘then.’
To put it conversely.
This meant that if the way to complete the Black Heaven was blocked, the Heavenly Demon would continue to have the Black Heaven in an incomplete state.
‘yes!’
Oh Jin clenched his fists.
This was the information I needed most right now.
If we can somehow prevent the Heavenly Demon from completing the Dark Heaven, there will be hope for avoiding the ‘apocalypse’ predicted by Polaris.
‘At first, I just thought it was X, but I never thought it would turn out like this.’
Did you say it was a phone call?
If I could use this crisis as an opportunity to feed the Heavenly Demon, it would be an unexpected harvest.
Ohjin asked with sparkling eyes.
“How to complete the Black Heaven?”
“Hmm? …You said your memories were sealed.”
Cassia, who was tilting her head, let out a short exclamation.
“Speak.”
“Yes, Heavenly Demon.”
Cassia bowed her head politely and continued.
“There is only one way to complete the incomplete Black Heaven.”
The emerald eyes were shiny with an eerie life.
“It is to kill the star in the sky and absorb its power.”
yes?
“…A star in the sky?”
“That’s right.”
Cassia looked up at the night sky with an expression full of life.
“An awakened person with the power to change the fate created by arrogant constellations. “The only one who can compete with the Heavenly Demon’s Black Heaven!”
Cassia spread her arms wide and shouted in a voice full of madness.
“Only by swallowing that disgusting star will Heavenly Demon’s… no, all of our wishes come true!”
“….”
You have to kill the star in the dark sky to complete the dark sky?
‘He’s already been searched?’
[The stigmata of Capricorn has been successfully absorbed.]
[The magic power of the stigmata that does not match the current level has been detected.]
[The magic power of the stigmata is sealed within the Black Heaven.]
