I am not a returner Episode 261:
Snowy field (1)
“Why are you here…?”
Isabella hesitantly took a step back with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
Cassia Colgrande.
Her older sister lost the battle for succession (it wasn’t even a fight) with her and was exiled to the faraway land of Iceland.
When the crack leading to the Demonic Land opened in the North Pole 10 years ago, I was swept up in the aftermath and thought I had died.
“Are you alive?”
Isabella’s shoulders were shaking and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Like discovering a long-lost treasure.
She looked at Cassia with a bright smile.
‘Isabella’s older sister, who went missing, was Cassia?’
Isabella wasn’t the only one in shock.
Ohjin also opened his mouth with an expression of astonishment.
Feels like I’ve been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
‘What happened to this?’
The true identity of Queen Serpens was Isabella’s older sister.
For a moment, I felt like my hair was turning white and goosebumps spread throughout my body.
Currently, Cassia is mistakenly thinking that she is the Heavenly Demon.
If you suddenly start talking nonsense in front of Isabella about being the Heavenly Demon or something, the situation could get out of control.
“Isabel….”
“Sister Cassia!”
Before I even called Isabella’s name.
She kicked her foot towards Cassia.
When I opened my arms wide to embrace Cassia’s delicate body.
-Whoosh!
A snake rising from Cassia’s shadow.
A snake with jet-black scales that seemed to be made of shadows opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs.
“damage!!”
The body moved before the head.
Ojin grabbed Isabella’s shoulder as she ran and pulled her roughly.
Shaaaaa!
The snake narrowly grazed Isabella’s stomach and let out an eerie howl.
“…Huh, sister?”
The belly of the knit Isabella was wearing split open, revealing her pure white skin.
Drops of blood flowing along a blood-red line.
If Ojin had not pulled her shoulder, the wound would have been severe enough to expose her internal organs.
“Sister…?”
Cassia looked at Isabella with dreamy eyes, as if she was drunk on drugs.
Cassia, who was looking at Isabella as if she was searching through an old warehouse, opened her mouth quietly.
“Bella… la?”
Her eyes, which had been hazy as if she were drunk on drugs, suddenly regained their original light.
He hesitated, took a step back, and trembled.
“Bella…Bella?”
“huh! “It’s me, sister!”
“….”
Ah ugh.
Cassia crouched down, swallowing suppressed tears.
“Oh no no. “For me…”
Cassia groaned, clutching her head and her face contorted in pain.
The blood vessels in the widened eyes burst and became red and bloodshot.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
A cry of madness echoed throughout the dark amusement park.
Cassia raised her fingernails and started scratching her face frantically.
“You must kill the Lord. Everyone, I have to kill the Lord, I, I, I….”
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
I grit my teeth nervously and open my bloodshot eyes.
The flesh on my face is scraped away by my fingernails.
“You have to kill to have it.”
Cassia muttered something unintelligible and slowly straightened her crouched body.
Shaaaaa!
Hundreds of snakes burst out from the long shadow.
“Why are you doing this, sister?”
Isabella looked at Cassia as if she couldn’t understand the current situation.
Her appearance was so different from the kind Kasia that remained in her memories that she thought she might be a different person, just with the same face.
‘…Something is strange.’
Ohjin frowned as he looked at Cassia, who was muttering like she was crazy and screaming for life.
From the first time I met her in the demonic world, I thought Queen Serpens was crazy.
‘It wasn’t to the point where we couldn’t communicate like this.’
It felt like some screws were loose, one by one.
Still, I was able to maintain my sanity at least enough to communicate.
And above all.
“Stop, Cassia.”
“We have to kill them all… everyone. Oh, otherwise… this will be thrown away again.”
Doesn’t listen to his own orders.
When we met at the Magic Mirror, if I tried to say anything, I would fall to the floor like a religious fanatic.
‘That jewel.’
Ojin’s eyes turned to the black jewel embedded in Cassia’s forehead.
Magical power flowing from the black jewel.
Not long ago, Ojin had felt a magic power that stuck unpleasantly like tar.
‘It’s the same as when it was Barbatos.’
Two black horns sprouted from the heavenly dragon’s forehead.
The dark magic that flowed from that horn was the same as the magic that flowed from the black jewel currently embedded in Cassia’s forehead.
That means.
“…Cheonma.”
Cheonma.
Not a fake disguised by a conman, but a real devil in the sky.
He reached out his hand to her.
“Oh, Mr. Ojin, are you a Cheonma?”
Isabella looked at Ojin with a pale, tired expression.
“Cassia is now being controlled by the Heavenly Demon.”
“That… what do you mean, Mr. Ohjin?”
I reunited with my sister, whom I thought was dead for 10 years, and suddenly found myself being controlled by the Heavenly Demon?
And how does Ojin know that?
It was a situation where even she, who had an extraordinary brain and was able to run dozens of businesses connected to the Colgrande family at the same time, could not keep up.
“Detailed explanation later.”
The priority now was to resolve the situation at hand.
Oh Jin swallowed dryly and reached for his waist.
Crank, clap!
The Dantalian on his belt changed into the shape of a spear.
‘A head-on fight… is not allowed.’
Even though he had rapidly become strong enough to be selected as a Seven Star, he was not yet at a level where he could take on the Serpent Queen.
And the same goes for Isabella.
Even if the two of them attack together, it will be difficult to predict the odds of victory against her.
‘I don’t think Isabella is in a state where she can fight normally right now.’
Here, the wisest thing to do is to seize the opportunity and run away━
“I won’t let you go.”
A voice that resonates eerily.
Emerald eyes, shining with an eerie light even in the dark, turned to Ojin.
She flicked her hand lightly, flicking her long tongue that reached up to her chest.
Sasasasasasasasaak!
Cassia’s shadow grew at an explosive speed and surrounded the surrounding land in the shape of a huge dome.
“Ugh!”
Isn’t the expression ‘in the blink of an eye’ often used?
It means a short period of time for the eyelids to blink once, but this was a speed that cannot even be used as an expression.
Ojin, who was instantly trapped in a huge dome made of shadows, chewed his lips with a nervous expression.
‘damn.’
Now that things were like this, fighting could not be avoided.
Slurp, slurp.
The eerie sound of hundreds of snakes slithering across the floor echoed.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes shining in the darkness turned to Ojin and Isabella.
“Oh sister! “Come to your senses, sister!”
Isabella’s voice rang out urgently.
Eyes sparkling with madness turned to Isabella.
“Bella….”
“Ugh, it’s me, sister!”
“You know what? “The night reminds me of many things?”
Cassia spins around with her arms spread out as if dancing.
A black dress fluttered and a sinister hum rang out.
After finishing her short dance moves, Kasia continued speaking, twisting the corners of her mouth fiercely.
“I hate you.”
“…sister?”
“It would have been better without someone like you.”
With words that sharply struck her heart.
-Shaaaaa!
The snakes that were flocking around were shot out like bullets.
“Isabella!”
Ojin blocked Isabella’s path and swung his spear.
A spear that swings quickly along the path guided by the compass constellation.
The blue thunderbolt burned fiercely as it cut the snake’s body in half.
“It was better if there was no such thing as me… What is that?”
“I told you! “Now your sister is being controlled by the Heavenly Demon!”
“But…”
“Come to your senses!”
Ojin shouted at Isabella, who had not yet come out of the confusion.
“If this continues, your sister will have to continue to live as the Heavenly Demon’s puppet!”
“….”
Did his urgent cry reach Isabella?
“…I will break through that shadow wall, Mr. Ohjin. “Please buy me a little time.”
Wow!
Isabella slapped both cheeks with her palms and spoke in a calm voice.
Ojin nodded and grabbed the spear.
Shaaaaa!
Snakes rushing towards you with an eerie howl.
‘Exceed.’
Ojin swung his spear, blazing with blue thunderbolts, towards the approaching snakes.
and.
Quad deuk! Wow!
“…Such crazy.”
Dozens of snakes tangled together and crushed Dantalian’s spear blade.
The blade of the spear was horribly crumpled like a piece of paper.
Ojin returned the spear to the form of a folding knife and stretched both arms forward.
‘Depth charge!’
Let’s go!
The blue thunderbolt created a powerful explosion, but it only defeated a few snakes that approached ahead of it.
It was not possible to stop the tidal wave of snakes coming in.
‘Damn it!’
He quickly kicked his feet and stretched his arms upward.
Taang!
He fired the wire shooter at a nearby gyro drop and launched himself high.
But even for a moment.
In an instant, the snakes surrounding his waist pulled his body roughly to the floor.
“Ugh!”
Quang!
Screams flowed from Ojin’s mouth as he fell from a height of tens of meters.
Dozens of snakes covered Ojin’s body as he fell to the floor.
“Let go, you bastards!”
Let’s go, let’s go!
Ojin, who stopped the snakes for a moment by covering his entire body with a blue thunderbolt, quickly escaped the snakes’ encirclement.
‘There is no end to dealing with snakes.’
The main body had to be attacked.
Ojin used the charge to condense the thunderbolt and turned towards where Cassia was standing.
“what?”
Cassia’s appearance, which was visible just moments ago, has disappeared somewhere.
An ominous feeling running down my spine.
“Isabella…”
I tried to urgently call Isabella.
“Here, Cheonma.”
A slippery feel on the skin.
Before he knew it, Cassia had come back and was hugging him gently from behind.
Oh Jin’s expression hardened.
Cassia burst out laughing, perhaps finding his reaction amusing, then stuck out her long tongue and licked the back of his neck.
“…Cassia.”
Ohjin swallowed dry saliva and turned his head.
Eerie emerald eyes were staring at him.
“I am the master you must follow and serve.”
I spoke in as calm a voice as possible.
At that moment, I felt Cassia’s body tremble.
‘Did it work?’
When Ojin swallowed his saliva and tried to turn around.
An eerie voice rang in my ears.
“liar.”
Crack!
Ojin’s right arm was pulled out from his shoulder.
