I am not a returner Episode 427 Interlude
– Escape (4)
“How?”
Ohjin and Haeun Isabella’s eyes were focused on Cassia.
What solution is there when the entrance to the sanctuary is damaged and the escape route is completely blocked?
“Do you remember that you went to the Demon World through my ‘shadow’ before?”
“ah.”
As far as I remember.
While I was looking for traces of the ‘snake’ to find the missing Tamrangseong, I was swept away by a black shadow and went to the devil’s palace.
That was the first time Ojin had ever experienced a magical scene.
“So you’re saying you can open a crack leading to the Demonic Realm?”
Although it is not as good as the sanctuary, the Demon World is also a ‘different world’, so it will be much safer than being in this city.
“yes. By connecting the ‘shadow’ to the other world, you can create a crack that can be crossed. But… I need some time.”
“How much do you need?”
“About 30 minutes.”
“….”
30 minutes.
It wasn’t a very long time to create a rift between one world, but in a situation like now where one hour is urgent, it was such a distant time that it felt like an eternity.

“okay. “I’ll try to hold on until then.”
However, since the entrance to the sanctuary was damaged, there was no other way out other than Cassia’s shadow.
Ojin took a deep breath and grabbed his spear.
He twisted his body, letting out the magical power of the stigmata that had been forcibly squeezed out of the magic circuit that was as dry as a desert.
“Ugh… bitter. Phew.”
Just spreading magical power throughout my body caused terrible pain, as if a sharp piece of metal had been thrust into my blood vessels.
Pajik Pajijik!
Suppressing the surging pain, I let out a blue thunderbolt.
Is it because the mana is almost depleted?
Thunderbolt, which usually burned fiercely like a hungry beast, lost its momentum as if its teeth had fallen out.
‘If you don’t have teeth, you have to chew with your gums.’
I swung my spear and swatted away the gathering black clouds.
“I will help too.”
“I like it. So I just have to hold on for 30 minutes?”
When Isabella was about to step forward with Ha-eun.
A black ‘snake’ crawled out from their shadow and climbed up their leg.
“sister?”
“Hmm?”
Mobius is already dead, so the ‘snake’ that crawls out of the shadows now must be Cassia’s.
Isabella and Ha-eun tilted their heads and turned towards Cassia.
“….”
Cassia, who glanced at me, turned without saying a word and continued chanting to open the ‘crack’.
“What are you doing all of a sudden…”
Isabella frowned and tried to argue, but her words were cut off.
The snake that climbed up her leg whispered something near her ear.
“Hmph, I know.”
What did I hear?
Isabella snorted and quickly turned her head as if it was not the same.
“ha.”
Instead of answering, Ha-eun sighed deeply and nodded.
She took out a cigarette pack from her pocket and then took out a candle.
“I’m really sick of it.”
I lifted the candle, glaring at the gathering black clouds.
Grumble!
The tip of the candle burned red and fierce flames floated in the air like a will-o’-the-wisp.
It wasn’t a flame burning so fiercely as if it would set the world on fire.
Still, the condition was a little better than the misdiagnosis that left him in total disrepair.
“Burn up.”
With a low chant, the flames floating in the air were shot at high speed toward the black clouds.
Gurgling!
The black clouds scorched by the flames twitched and retreated.
Even if it had been driven away once, the black clouds would have attacked again fiercely, but stopped moving like a gentle sheep in front of Ha-eun.
“…So, even in this situation, I want to protect you, right?”
Ha-eun chewed her lips with a complicated expression, remembering the owner of this dark cloud.
Another Ojin, different from the Ojin she loves.
When I thought about Cheonma, who had to live a completely different life due to mixed fates, I felt the bitter taste of blood from my chewed lips.
“I don’t know if you will hear me saying this now.”
Ha-eun sighed deeply and bowed low.
“thank you.”
Because without you, fate wouldn’t have changed.
“And I’m sorry.”
Although I know you gave everything for me.
I also know that I have endured loneliness and emptiness, pain and despair so distant that I dare not imagine.
Nevertheless.
“To me… Ojini is more important now.”
Quang!
He bounced his lowered body and kicked his feet.
He jumped as if throwing his body towards the black stream that was rushing toward Ojin.
Grumble!
The dark clouds were pushed back like a wolf among a flock of sheep.
“haha! “Please take care of Cassia rather than me!”
“I know!”
Ojin’s safety is important, but right now, protecting Cassia, who is creating a ‘crack’, was the top priority.
Ha-eun circled around the ruined entrance to the sanctuary and drove the incoming dark clouds back as much as possible.
However, no matter how much the dark clouds evaded her, there was a limit to how much Ha-eun could stop them alone.
Grumble!
A cloud of black sky rushed in, aiming for Ha-eun’s absence.
Since Ha-eun was close to Cassia, who was creating a crack, the aggro of the Black Sky Cloud was naturally directed towards Ojin.
“Ugh!”
Ojin narrowed his eyes as he barely managed to deflect the black clouds that were blowing in from all directions.
But now I’m somehow holding on.
‘If it continues like this…’
It won’t be possible to last even 5 minutes, let alone 30 minutes.
“Oh Jin, please excuse me for a moment.”
at that time.
Isabella leaned closer to Ojin and hugged him from behind.
“Excuse me, what do you mean….”
“Hmm.”
Isabella’s fangs dug into the back of her neck.
A feeling of pleasure like a thunderbolt spread down my spine along with the feeling of blood leaving my body.
“Tsk…!”
“haha. “Please be patient just a little longer.”
Isabella exhaled happily and drank Ojin’s blood.
“ha.”
Her body, exhausted from the battle with the Black Star Constellation, surged with vitality.
The deep dark circles around the eyes disappeared, and the dry, dry skin regained its smooth glow.
“Huh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! “If this happens… what should I do?”
Of course, Ojin’s body, which was already in a state of complete disrepair due to the aftereffects of carrying out the mission, was in an even more miserable state as his blood was sucked by Isabella.
“Do not worry.”
Isabella’s condition was able to regain its vitality before the Star Wars took place… or even beyond that.
“I will protect Mr. Ojin.”
I put the tip of my sharp nail on my wrist and drew it down for a long time.
Blood flowing out as the flesh splits.
The red blood flowing over my skin, which was as white as a snow field, dripped onto my fingertips and onto the floor, drop by drop.
The blood that fell on the floor spread across the floor like paint, creating a small puddle of blood.
“Bloom.”
The blood flowers that grew from the blood pool were in full bloom like wild flowers in spring.
Blood-red petals fluttering in the wind formed black clouds.
Grumble!
Black clouds scattering after being cut into pieces by blood-red flower petals.
Isabella, who regained her vitality with Ojin’s blood, pushed the clouds of the black sky without hesitation.
“haha.”
How much time has passed?
When the vitality that had filled my body began to run out again.
Googoo googung!
Black flames rose up along with a harsh roar.
“That’s…”
The place where the Heavenly Demon first appeared.
It was a battlefield where warriors from the beast and dragon tribe risked their lives to tie the legs of the Heavenly Demon.
“…I guess it’s over.”
Instinctively, I could tell that all the warriors of the beast and dragon tribes who were holding the Heavenly Demon’s feet had fallen.
Now that the troublesome hindrances that were holding him back are gone, there is only one place for the Cheonma to head next.
“Sister, are you there yet?!”
“little bit more!”
Cassia answered, wiping away the sweat from her forehead.
Isabella looked at the place where the black pillar of fire had risen with a nervous expression.
Jump and jump.
The sound of leisurely footsteps coming from afar.
The dark clouds covering the street parted like the Red Sea, and the Heavenly Demon appeared.
“Are you still holding on?”
The Heavenly Demon smiled as he looked at Ojin and his group gathered in front of the ruined entrance to the sanctuary.
“Honestly, I thought I could wipe them all out quickly, but this wolf bastard was a bit persistent.”
He threw Riak, who had been dragging him, on the floor.
Ojin’s eyes widened.
“Riak!”
“Ah, don’t worry. “Because I didn’t kill him.”
The Heavenly Demon shrugged his shoulders and looked down at Riak, who had fallen to the floor.
“Because I have a place to use this later.”
“You… what on earth are you planning to do?”
“I told you I would change my plans.”
Cheonma’s eyes turned to Ha-eun.
For a moment, his eyes as he looked at Ha-eun slightly wavered.
Cheonma, who had been staring at Ha-eun for a while, turned his head forlornly.
“If, as you say, you and I are different.”
The blue natural flower burned with an eerie light.
“I have no choice but to make it the same myself.”
A chilling shiver ran down Ojin’s spine.
“They make it the same… what does that mean?”
“You’ll find out in a little while.”
The Cheonma twitched the corner of its mouth fiercely and walked briskly towards Ojin.
When the distance with the Heavenly Demon is gradually narrowing.
“That’s Okay!”
Damn it!
A small crack was created in the air that could barely fit a person through.
“…hmm?”
The Cheonma’s expression distorted as she discovered the crack.
“Everyone run away first! “I’ll follow you at the end!”
Crumbling!
Ojin threw the spear in his hand at the Heavenly Demon and shouted at Isabella and Cassia Ha-eun.
and.
“I’m sorry Oh Jin.”
“What are you sorry about… Ugh?!”
Isabella suddenly locked lips with Ojin.
When Ojin widened his eyes with a puzzled expression.
“Hwacha!”
Ha-eun hugged Oh-jin from behind and threw herself toward the crack with Oh-jin.
“Now wait…!”
Oh Jin urgently stretched out his hand and tried to grab the entrance to the crack, but his arm, which was tightly restrained by Ha Eun’s arm, did not move as intended.
Oh Jin and Ha Eun’s bodies were sucked into the crack.
“Hehehe.”
In Ojin’s gradually darkening vision, he saw Isabella smiling brightly.
She winked at Ojin and stuck out her tongue.
“Is this revenge for that time?”
Along with Isabella’s playful voice, Ojin’s body completely disappeared into the crack.
“Hmm, I guess we’re sisters, so in the end it’s just the two of us left?”
After the crack closes.
Cassia wiped the sweat from her forehead and approached Isabella.
Isabella narrowed her eyes and glanced at Cassia.
“…Couldn’t you have gone with me too?”
“I told you, right? “We can only move two people in 30 minutes.”
“therefore. “You could have gone instead of Ha-eun.”
In fact, it was safer for the person who created the rift to move together rather than a third party, Ha-eun, so if Cassia had wanted to, she could have left Ha-eun behind instead of herself.
“Oh, so you’ll be separated from our beloved Bella?”
“joy. “Are you coming here now and pretending to be my sister?”
“I was always your sister?”
Cassia covered her mouth and stood next to Isabella, laughing.
“I won’t admit my relationship with Oh Jin just because of this.”
“Hmm, isn’t that a bit too much? Still, I risked my life for Ojin.”
“That’s…”
Isabella, who was trailing off, soon took a deep sigh and opened her mouth in a low voice as if she was crawling away.
“…If Ha-eun says it’s okay, I’ll think about it.”
“Oh my Bella, why is she so cute?”
Cassia burst out laughing and clapped her hands.
“Now then… before that…”
Her eyes turned to the Heavenly Demon.
Cheonma was looking at the two sisters with her arms crossed and a helpless smile on her face.
Cassia smiled brightly and took a step toward the Heavenly Demon.
“Should I go scold that fake Oh Jin first?”
