I am not a returner Episode 335
Interlude – Encounter (1)
Three days have passed since the defeat of Deimos and the Golden Knights.
Ojin and his party had not yet left the territory and remained in Deimos Castle.
In the case of Ha-eun and Isabella, they were not seriously injured, but Oh-jin, who suffered aftereffects from the blessing, and Baek Mu-gang, who had one of his arms crushed, have not yet fully recovered.
“Hmm.”
Ojin opened his eyes to the light coming through the window.
As the city was built underground, the sun did not rise of course, but at a certain time, the relics installed on the ceiling emitted light, so it felt as if morning had come.
“Oh, are you awake, Oh Jin?”
A sweet voice that tickles my ears.
When I turned my head, I saw Isabella lying on his arm, smiling brightly.
“….”
Her appearance is so beautiful that it takes my breath away for a moment.
The platinum hair that seemed to have been made by melting gold, the white skin like a snowflake, and the plump lips that shined in red stole all eyes.
Ojin swallowed dry saliva as he felt the soft touch on his arm and the breath tickling his ear.
“Why are you here…”
“Shh, you might wake up.”
sister?
“Hmm. Oh my gosh.”
When I looked to the side, I saw Ha-eun sleeping with her arm resting on the other side.
‘When did you come in?’
Oh Jin let out a short laugh as he looked at Ha Eun who was sleeping with his arms around him.
“We came together to wake Mr. Oh Jin up, and he was sleeping so soundly that we lay down next to him for a moment. “My sister had already fallen asleep again.”
Was he so deeply asleep that he didn’t notice the two people entering the room?
It certainly seemed like the aftereffects of the blessing were significant.
“Okay. what time is it? “I think I slept for quite a while.”
“Oh wait a minute.”
Isabella came close to Ojin, gently pressing his chest as he tried to get up.
ha.
Isabella exhaled excitedly and licked the back of her neck.
I felt a tickling sensation and the sensation of sharp fangs digging into the back of my neck.
“Ugh.”
Even though the fangs dug in, I didn’t feel any pain.
Rather, an intense feeling of pleasure spread throughout my entire body.
Ojin suppressed his moans and endured the pleasure that heated his whole body.
“Gumph. Gulp.”
After drinking two or three sips of blood, Isabella dripped from the back of her neck.
She wiped her mouth with a white handkerchief and nodded as if she was satisfied.
“As expected, drinking Mr. Ohjin’s blood in the morning is even more special.”
“Is it okay to say that like hitting a cup of morning coffee?”
“Hehe. These days, I feel like my day doesn’t start without this.”
I think it’s an addiction at that level.
“that’s right. I’m addicted. “Not just the blood, but everything about Mr. Ojin.”
“Uh um.”
“why?”
“No, that line you just said was a little…”
It’s very cringy.
“Ugh! “It was because I just sucked blood and my head was so hot!”
“I’m addicted….”
“Oh Mr. Ojin!”
Thinking back, Isabella must have realized that the line was quite cringe-inducing, and she blushed and punched Ojin’s chest.
“Ah… what are you doing making noise this morning?”
Ha-eun, who was sleeping soundly next to me, woke up rubbing her eyes.
“Sister, sister. Do you know what Bella just said?”
“ok? “What did you say?”
“Aaaah! Stop it! right now!”
Isabella screamed and covered Ojin’s mouth.
Ojin burst out in laughter and stood up.
“Maybe it’s because I slept too long, but I’m hungry.”
“…Oh Jin, there is no food today.”
“why not.”
I didn’t even ask you to say it.
“I don’t know.”
Isabella was so upset that she let out a breath, slammed the door shut, and left.
“what? “What did you say earlier?”
“No, they just said my blood tastes better these days.”
I thought that if I told him the truth, I would starve all day, so I changed my mind.
“Hmm… Is it really that delicious?”
Ha-eun tilted her head, looking at the nape of Oh-jin’s neck.
“Ojina. “Slit your throat with a knife so I can drink your blood.”
“What crazy things are you talking about?”
Why did you slit your throat?
“No, I’m telling you to draw just a little bit. You idiot, did you just draw so sharply like in some horror movie?”
“It’s okay, man.”
He slapped Ha-eun’s buttocks with his palm and stretched her.
“Okay.”
Is it because of the aftereffects of the blessing?
Even though I slept much longer than usual, I still felt dizzy.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s still soggy.”
“Wow, who would dope so carelessly?”
Doping with the blessings of the constellation.
No, actually, if you look at the effects, they are somewhat similar.
“Oh, by the way, I saw a poopy puppy earlier?”
“Riak?”
“ok.”
It seemed that Riak, who had taken refuge in the sanctuary for a while due to the terrible sulfur gas, had returned this time.
‘Well, there is a purification device in the territory.’
Even Ohjin doesn’t know exactly how it works.
The air inside the territory, which should have been extremely harsh, was maintained as clear and refreshing as if it had descended into a rural mountain valley.
“Let’s go eat, sister.”
“ok. “Just get some sleep and clear your head.”
Ha-eun, with her waist-length red hair tied up, followed Oh Jin out of the room.
“ah! nice person! did you sleep well?!”
As I walked down the long hallway, I heard a bright voice.
“Did you sleep comfortably?”
“Yep! “I slept very well!”
Baek Mu-gang nods, flapping the letter in his hand.
Ha-eun grinned and approached Baek Moo-gang.
“I heard about installment payments. “I heard you finally read the letter?”
“huh! “Ojin helped me!”
A calm smile formed on Ha-eun’s lips as she saw Baek Moo-gang nodding his head with a bright smile.
Seeing him so excited, fortunately, it seemed like there were no bad words written in the letter.
Ha-eun smiled mischievously and poked Baek Moo-gang on the shoulder with her elbow.
“Where and where was it written? “Isn’t there something embarrassing written there?”
“That’s… hehe secret!”
“Oh why~ You can tell me the installment plan.”
“I won’t tell you!”
Baek Mu-gang shakes his head, and Ha-eun chases after him and persistently asks about the contents of the letter.
The sound of boisterous laughter echoed through the hallway.
“….”
Oh Jin looked at Baek Moo-gang’s back and bit his chapped lip.
I let out a deep sigh and followed the two towards the restaurant.
When we arrived at the gorgeous hall, which was called a restaurant for convenience but could be used for a ball, we saw Isabella preparing a meal and Riak sitting next to her.
“Are you awake now, kid?”
“ok. “When did you come?”
“I came here a few hours ago, but I was waiting for you because you were sleeping oblivious to the world.”
Riak clicked his tongue and started the boring nagging that started with ‘What about warriors?’
Oh Jin waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
“Ah, it’s okay. “What brought you here?”
“Okay. “Vega sent me to check on your condition.”
Did you come here because Vega told you to?
“How’s Vega doing?”
It was only enough to block sound, but since I used Sanctuary and Blessing at the end, it would be quite a blow.
“Well, it’s not something you need to worry about.”
“I’m glad.”
“Still, you won’t be able to manifest for a while.”
Ohjin nodded and sat down at the table.
Today’s menu is simple frozen pork cutlet.
It was an easy dish to just take out and fry in oil in a frying pan.
‘But again, the quality is good for a frozen product.’
When you’re waiting for the pork cutlet to be fried while quenching your appetite.
“Enjoy your meal, Oh Jin.”
Isabella smiled brightly and placed something charred on Ojin’s plate.
‘what is this.’
Is it coal?
“I… Ms. Isabella.”
“Are you going to eat it without leaving any behind?”
“….”
I guess it’s wrong to eat properly for the time being.
* * *
“Where then?”
After finishing the meal(?), Ojin came down to the Golden Treasury where the fierce battle with Deimos took place.
Inside, traces of a fierce battle remained intact, creating a mess reminiscent of a battlefield.
Ojin gathered all the treasures that Deimos had collected in one place.
Most of them were broken or crushed in the aftermath of the battle.
‘The magic power still remains within.’
Even if your smartphone breaks, the battery inside it is still alive.
Although its function as a holy relic was broken, the magic power contained within it remained.
‘and.’
Ojin’s eyes turned to Deimos’ fallen body.
Even though several days had passed since Deimos’ death, the powerful magic of stigmata was emanating from his corpse.
“I can’t just leave this behind.”
Oh Jin raised the corners of his mouth with a grin and closed the door to the office tightly to prevent anyone else from entering.
The dozens of layers of barrier that protected the treasury were not damaged in the aftermath of the battle, so it would not be possible to enter without the Seongyuseok, which acts as a key.
Oh Jin, who carefully checked that no one was around, stood in the middle and gently closed his eyes.
‘Heukcheon.’
Gurgling.
A black cloud spewed out from Ojin’s body and covered the surroundings like fog.
The dark clouds that flowed from the Black River ravenously ate up the magic contained in the hundreds or thousands of relics that Deimos had collected so far.
“Ugh.”
A torrent of magical energy as large as when absorbing the dragon vein rushed into my body.
‘Is this beyond your imagination?’
If you look at the pure amount of magical power, it is an enormous amount of magical energy that you might think would be similar to the soul of the Dragon God that Ha-eun absorbed.
Of course, the quantity is just ridiculously large, but in terms of quality, it is far less than the dragon god’s soul.
‘I mean, I haven’t even eaten the main dish yet.’
The relics collected by Deimos were merely appetizers.
Gurgling.
The black clouds that had consumed all the magic contained within the relic began to gather around Deimos’ corpse like a swarm of ants on sugar.
“ha.”
Deimos’ magic flowed into his body.
Is it because it contains the power of the Heavenly Demon?
A magical power that felt somewhat familiar, different from the magical power contained within the relic, gathered in my heart.
and.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Black clouds exploded out from the pores of the entire body.
Swirling black clouds.
A blue message window appeared in front of me with a clear sound of bells.
The tenth flowering of Heukcheon.
The black sky curled up in my heart boiled like an active volcano.
[The Black Sky has reached the Ten Star Enlightenment!]
When I quietly closed my eyes, wondering what kind of memories would come flooding back this time.
[Some of the memories of Awakened Lee Shin-hyeok have been passed down!]
Grumble, rumble.
The swirling black clouds began to disperse and clump together repeatedly, as if having a seizure.
‘what?’
When I frowned at a sensation I felt for the first time.
[An unidentified force intervenes in the lore.]
[An error has occurred.]
[The lore is cancelled.]
“Uuuuuuuuuu!”
Chijijijijijik!
My vision is distorted and dark.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in darkness without a single ray of light.
“What…this place?”
When I was looking around in a dark space.
“Is this your first time talking directly like this?”
A voice came from beyond the darkness.
A voice that was so familiar, so familiar.
“You…”
Oh Jin turned his head in the direction the voice came from with a stiff expression.
Grumbling.
Blue natural flowers burned in the darkness.
“You know, right?”
A young man with the same appearance as himself walks out of the dark clouds.
“I am you.”
Cheonma looked at Oh Jin and smiled brightly.
