I am not a returner Episode 381:
Sister (5)
Slurp, slurp.
Inside an abandoned building covered in shadows.
The eerie sound of a snake crawling across the floor rang out.
It’s not coming from either side.
Front, back, top, bottom and both sides.
Sounds echoed from all directions, as if trapped in a giant cage made of snakes.
“Whoa.”
Ojin added strength to his hand gripping the spear with a nervous expression.
By activating the stigmata of the constellation Canis, the senses of the entire body were heightened.
Slurp, slurp, slurp━
When the eerie sound suddenly quieted down.
‘come!’
Swarms of black snakes began to explode from all directions.
‘right.’
The first thing I reached was a snake rising from the moldy wall.
It turned the window like a windmill and exploded the thunderbolts that had been condensed inside the window.
Crumbling!
With a sound like thunder, hundreds of snakes were swept away by lightning.
Shaaaaaaa!
While he was defending against a snake attacking from the right, a snake approached Ojin and attached itself to his left arm.
In an instant, the snake wrapped around the left arm opened its huge maw and bit into Ojin’s forearm.
Crack.
As the sharp, awl-like teeth dug into my flesh, a tingling sensation spread down my arm.
‘Is it poison?’
Even if it were a poison, it wouldn’t be a lukewarm poison like a neurotoxin.
Even though the neurotoxin was a deadly poison that could cause death to an ordinary person, to an awakened person with a superhuman body, it was only a light poison that caused a brief numbness.
“Big.”
As expected, the snake’s venom that had penetrated inside began to run wild, tearing apart Ojin’s magic circuits in a wild manner.
The skin along the area where the fangs had dug in was seen to be dark and necrotic.
As the magic circuit is the path through which the stigmata’s magic moves, even light damage can lead to fatal internal injuries.
‘If it’s like this.’
Let’s go!
The magic power of the stigmata mixed with lightning burned the poison that had penetrated the circuit and instantly reduced the snake that had bitten the forearm to ashes.
‘charge.’
Ohjin moved to the right, where there were relatively few snakes, and concentrated a thunderbolt on his left arm.
“Blast.”
Crumbling!
The thunderbolt condensed in his left arm burst out like an explosion and swept away the snakes that were running towards him.
Although it was nothing more than a thunderbolt with about five ‘charges’ stacked on top of each other, the durability of the snakes was not that strong, so there was no problem in wiping them out in one go.
‘the problem is.’
Slurp, slurp.
No matter how much you sweep away, new snakes keep emerging from the shadows.
‘It won’t end like this.’
There was a way to lead the fight into a war of attrition, but it was unclear what Cassia, who had already suffered internal injuries and was unable to fight for a long time, would do to Isabella.
Ojin ignored the rushing snakes and kicked his feet towards Cassia.
“Oh, you’re finally looking at me.”
Cassia smiled brightly and lightly snapped her fingers, as if she had been waiting.
A huge arm emerged from the shadows and blocked Ojin’s path.
Ojin’s eyes shined sharply as he looked at the huge arm swinging with terrifying force.
Are you going through it?
Are you going back to avoid it?
The worries didn’t last long.
‘It pierces.’
He clenched his fists, drawing on his stigmata’s magical power.
In an instant, a huge amount of lightning condensed, and the clenched fist turned into blue lightning.
The part that has been transformed into a brain body is from the fingertips to the wrist.
Since it was created in a simplified way, its destructive power and durability are far short of the original brain body.
It would be easy to break through the shadow of Cassia, who cannot use her powers properly due to internal injuries.
Kwajajajajajajag!
A huge arm made of shadows exploded like an explosion.
I threw myself through the scattered shadows and swung the spear towards the spot where Cassia was standing.
‘what.’
Cassia’s appearance, which was visible until the shadow arm exploded, disappeared like a ghost.
“Are you looking for me by any chance?”
A voice heard from behind.
Even without looking back, I could tell that her voice was coming from ‘my own shadow.’
‘This is crazy.’
I never thought I could even use other people’s shadows.
Ojin quickly rolled forward and swung his spear towards the back.
Huh!
It contained quite a lot of power for a spear that was swung while rolling forward, but this time it cut through the air in vain.
“Be rough~”
This time Cassia’s voice came from overhead.
When Ojin raised his head with a puzzled expression, he saw Cassia standing upside down on the ceiling of an abandoned building.
‘Is this a ghost from some horror movie?’
To be honest, it was a much scarier entity than a ghost or something.
Ojin looked up at Cassia, who was standing upside down on the ceiling, and said.
“And then I see your panties.”
“oh?”
The black dress that Cassia was wearing didn’t flip over at all even though she was standing upside down, as if some kind of adhesive had been applied to it, but even so, unless she completely escaped the influence of gravity, if she moved too hard, the dress would just flip over.
“Do you want to see the panties?”
Cassia smiled seductively, lifted the hem of her black dress that was sticking to the ceiling, and flipped it over.
The black lace panties that did not suit her snow-white legs and slender figure were clearly exposed.
“You can watch as much as you want.”
“….”
Ojin touched his forehead as if he had a headache.
“Hehe, it’s just a joke.”
Cassia burst into laughter and let go of the hem of the dress she had lifted.
The black dress slowly rose upward, as if defying gravity, and spread widely across the ceiling like ink.
and.
Huh!
Long black whips rained down from the ceiling and swung at Ojin.
No, to be more precise, it was not a ‘whip’.
‘Snake’s tail.’
Dozens of snake tails made an eerie sound, aiming to misdiagnose.
“Ugh!”
A snake’s tail flew in from the side and grazed my side.
The flesh caught on the sharp hook-like scales was torn off in chunks and blood poured out.
Ojin activated the stigmata of the Hourglass to accelerate the accident and escaped through the tails of snakes flying from all directions.
‘This is the power that can be achieved with internal injuries.’
Ojin stuck out his tongue at the dizzying feast of attacks that made him burst into laughter.
At this point, I was starting to doubt whether Cassia really suffered internal injuries.
“Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssmouth
of though Cassia was standing on the ceiling momentarily frowning and coming down to the floor again, I could see that she wasn’t in a good condition either.
Ojin adjusted his spear and looked at Cassia, who was out of breath.
“Are you feeling a little tired?”
“haha. oh? “Even though you look like this, you’re pretty confident in your physical strength, right?”
Cassia smiled calmly as she ran her hands over her slender body, but she seemed to have failed to notice the cold sweat running down her forehead, and her beautiful platinum-blond hair was soaked with sweat.
“ha.”
Cassia took a deep breath and gently closed her eyes.
Slurp, slurp!
The black dress she was wearing spread wide, as if absorbed into the floor, and began to cover the inside of the abandoned building with black shadows.
The sound of snakes begins to echo from all directions once again.
This time, the sound was echoing several times more than before.
‘Are you trying to make a quick decision?’
Ojin narrowed his eyes and strengthened his grip on the spear.
‘It’s hard to stop inside the building.’
It’s late at night.
The inside of the abandoned building, which had no lights, was covered in dark shadows.
For Cassia, who deals with shadows, there is no better battlefield than this.
‘I guess that’s why I called you here in the first place.’
No matter how I tried to avoid it, everything from the floor to the ceiling was covered in shadows, so there was no room to avoid it.
‘There is nowhere to escape from the realm of shadows here.’
then.
“Use it.”
Ojin spread his arms and fired a wire towards the wall.
Taang!
The wire fired from the wire shooter dug into the rusty wall and became stuck.
At the same time.
Shaaaaaaa!
Black snakes began pouring out from the shadows like a tidal wave.
Ojin kicked his feet to avoid the snakes pouring out with terrifying force.
Like a scene from a famous science fiction movie, hundreds of snakes rushed after Ojin, who was running up the wall.
“haha. “There’s no use running away, right?”
Cassia gasped and frowned as if in pain.
His body was staggering as if he would collapse at any moment, but even in that state, the momentum of the snakes attacking him from all directions was not decreasing at all.
Squeeze! Pajik!
Ojin continued to run inside the large abandoned building, cutting down the fiercely charging snakes with his spear.
“Hmm. “You’re fast.”
Cassia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the snakes that were having a hard time catching Ojin.
“But what if it were like this?”
The stigmata engraved on Cassia’s left chest radiated light, and gloomy magic seeped into the shadows.
Sigh!
The snake’s long, whip-like tail rose up as if it were exploding.
Not the floor, the ceiling, or the shadows on the walls.
In the shadow of Ojin, who is running away from the charging snakes.
“No matter how fast you are, you can’t be faster than your own shadow, right?”
Just like she said.
No matter how quickly you move, you cannot move faster than your own shadow.
“I guess so.”
Ojin nodded as if he knew and stood tall in place.
There were so many black snakes everywhere that it was difficult to even find a place to escape.
‘If running away is impossible.’
Ojin stretched out his hand and grabbed the wire in front of him.
As he climbed the walls and walked around the inside of the abandoned building, wires filled the inside of the building like spider webs.
“Just burn it all and that’s it.”
He raised Stigmata’s magical power to its limit and sent a lightning bolt through the wire he was holding.
Let’s go, let’s go!
A blue lightning bolt runs along a wire spread inside an abandoned building.
The snakes that touched the wire stretched out tightly like a spider’s web burst into pieces, and the dark inside of the abandoned building instantly became as bright as day.
“Tsk…”
Cassia takes a step back with her eyes narrowed.
His body was staggering backwards, perhaps due to internal injuries.
Coo!
Without missing the opportunity, Ojin rushed in and grabbed Cassia’s delicate neck.
“Big!”
He looked down at her gasping for breath with a contorted expression in pain and opened his mouth in a cold voice.
“Let’s stop this bullshit, Cassia.”
