episode_0041

Once again, in front of me, in the dark and damp fog, I saw a mansion so wide that I could not see the end, on the verge of collapsing.

I was excited.

I was happy to have the opportunity to kill them again.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a man who had just stood up, covering his nose and dusting off his pants.

The man must have heard the door opening and turned to look back.

He cut off the hand that was covering his nose.

A man’s hand falling down with a solid red line forming.

“Ugh!!”

The spear in my hand, which was dusting off the dust, came up to stab me.

He twisted his head and narrowly avoided the spear that came through my head. After fixing the spear with his head, he smashed the man’s remaining right arm with an axe.

He tripped over the legs of a man who was screaming in pain as both arms were torn off.

He climbed on top of the man who had fallen ugly and struck him with his fist as hard as he could.

When I was hit in the face about three times, the closed door beyond the railing on the second floor across from me burst open and a guardian spirit came running towards me from inside.

I jumped up from my seat and raised my ax high to avoid the guardian spirit falling towards me from the second floor.

I struck down the guardian spirit that flew to where I was with the force of splitting it in two.

The ax, sparkling with blue magic, falls, crushing the guardian spirit.

bang!

The body of a man with no arms was neatly cut in half beneath the guardian deity, which was torn in two by a guillotine bursting like a death sentence.

I shook my head and brushed off the blood that had spattered on my face.

When I shook my head, what I saw was a group of children with expressions full of fear, and two men running towards me.

A sword coming at your head from the left, an ax hammer coming at your waist from the right.

Even if you try to jump backwards to avoid an attack, you can feel the presence of a guardian spirit behind you.

I can’t avoid it.

An attack that cannot be avoided no matter how you move, front, back, or side.

“Chivalrous Lee Seol-hee.”

I could always avoid it.

The vision changes dramatically.

From a dark, crumbling mansion to a neat car.

From a dull adult man holding a weapon and trying to kill me to a beautiful woman who loves me.

My sister was still standing on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for me.

“Cheonhwi.”

My heart is beating fast.

“Cheonhwi..”

If I picked up my phone again and pressed enter on the 4th floor, I could kill them once again.

“Jeon Cheonhwi!”

I looked back at my sister.

I can’t see anything.

As if looking at the face of a guardian deity.

Pure white noise surrounded my sister’s face.

What kind of expression is my sister making right now?

Are you angry?

Am I crying?

Or are you laughing with me?

“I’ll go and come back!”

A voice filled with happiness.

Like a child going out to play.

I entered the 4th floor again.

A collapsing mansion unfolds before my eyes again.

A man yelling at me while holding a knife to the throat of a crying child at the front door of the mansion.

Behind the man, his colleague was looking at me with a nervous expression, and even the guardian spirit behind him was angry at me with his mouth grotesquely open.

“…Just try it!…I’ll kill you!”

“Ah…”

“Fuck!…don’t!…hey!”

White noise covering my entire field of vision.

In the blurred vision, a child can be seen crying while being held captive by a man.

It was Suyeon.

A child crying, flailing his feet that are not touching the ground, saying he wants to live.

My heart is pounding violently.

With my heart pounding and pounding, time gradually slowing down.

Suyeon and I made eye contact.

The angel who killed the old man on the third floor to protect Lee Seong and Su-yeon, who seemed to be on the verge of being cut off, came to mind.

“Chivalry..”

I feel dizzy.

The blood circulating throughout the body was supplying excessive oxygen to the head.

My nose is bleeding.

I can feel the blood flowing from my ears.

last.

The name I finally screamed as I was about to collapse.

“Lauriel!!!”

It was Lauriel, a huge, beautiful, black angel who appeared behind the man holding Sooyeon.

Bleep-

Huge sand dust and tinnitus ringing in my ears.

Lauriel slashed the head of the man holding the knife to young Suyeon’s neck.

A man holding an ax hammer runs out this way while looking at the mansion amidst the flying sand.

I pulled the man’s leg with all my strength and knocked him backwards.

She climbed on the chest of the man who had fallen to the ground and crushed his arms with both legs.

They thrust their fists one by one into the man’s face as he panicked.

“Because of you..”

The first punch that broke my nose.

“Suyeon!”

The second fist pops out with broken teeth.

“You were hurt.”

The third punch breaks the facial bones and caves in the face.

Fourth, fifth…

Gradually, the power of the fist striking the man’s face weakens.

The face beneath me, being punched, gradually changes.

A very familiar face.

It was me.

When I looked in the mirror every morning while washing my face.

The face I saw.

The face was now broken.

His facial bones were broken and bleeding, and his eyeballs were swollen red.

“Because of you..”

Put both hands together and clasp them.

“Because of you..”

I hit my fist again as hard as I could because I was losing strength and could no longer hit it hard.

“Because of you!!”

The fist that came down sank in, crushing my broken skull further.

With that, the light in the pupil disappears.

But I couldn’t stop punching.

“You..”

Hit my face again.

Turned into a mushy mess, I can’t even breathe anymore.

“Because..”

The final punch lands on a face that I no longer recognize as mine.

“I..”

The body no longer moves in that position.

A new white mist enveloped me.

“Because..”

In the flowing nosebleed

With bleeding ears

In the flowing tears of blood

I lost my mind.

I opened my eyes to the feeling of a warm cloth covering my nose.

A woman sitting offering herself up in a hazy vision.

The nosebleed must have hardened, and you can feel the rough crystals inside your nose every time you take a breath.

When I blew my nose hard, the hardened blood flowed out of my nose, and I could breathe easily again.

When I raised my head and saw the warm energy surrounding my entire body, I saw a black angel called Lauriel.

My whole body was warm.

There were no injuries, but it felt like the warm energy surrounding me was healing my entire body.

Blurry vision becomes clearer.

My dizzy head gradually regains its sense of reason.

Looking closely, I saw that the round membrane surrounding me was blocking the white fog from entering the area around me.

When I gently touched my ears and nose, I couldn’t even feel any stickiness, as if blood had flowed at some point.

The lying corpse did not have my face, and the little girl sitting at the front door of the mansion looking at me with blank eyes was not Suyeon.

Only then did I realize it.

That white fog made my mind strange.

I was just breathing here, but uncontrollable emotions took over me.

So is this black angel stroking my head also fake?

Just in case, I slightly raised my hand and grabbed the huge hand that was stroking me, and I realized it was no illusion.

Lauriel was startled when I grabbed her finger.

He must have thought that if his huge hand moved, I would break, and when my fingers were caught in his hand, he showed no movement.

I felt a strange sense of relief at the sight of the gigantic angel fidgeting, and I got up from my seat.

“Thank you.”

Let’s bow 90 degrees and say thank you to Lauriel.

Lauriel, who had been gradually softening and disappearing, wrapped the same cloth that had covered my nose around my head.

Lauriel nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the cloth covered like a mask, waved her hand at me and disappeared into thin air.

When Lauriel disappeared, many questions began to dominate my mind.

‘Why did you come..? ‘How did you get here?’

When I turned my head and looked inside the mansion, I saw the corpse of the man whose head had been blown off by Lauriel, still lying there bleeding red.

That scene convinced me that the warmth I had felt from Lauriel until now was not an illusion.

The round membrane that surrounded me disappeared and the hazy fog enveloped my surroundings again.

However, Lauriel’s cloth, used like a mask, allowed me to continue breathing fresh air, as if purifying the air.

The pure white guardian deity twisted its mouth grotesquely and yelped at me as if it couldn’t get out of the mansion.

When I looked closely, I saw fog coming out of the guardian deity’s body.

I picked up the ax that had fallen on the ground.

A red sword in one hand and an ax with an edge on one side in the other.

“I saw earlier that even though the kids were taken hostage, they didn’t do anything.”

I walk one step at a time towards the main gate of the mansion.

“It is said to be a ‘guardian god’.”

Behind the guardian god, whose mouth is still open in a threatening manner, a white monster called another guardian god comes running.

“Why are you ‘guardian gods’?”

Except for the girl sitting blankly at the entrance, the children are still holding crude weapons and pointing them at me.

Their weapons were aimed not only at me, but also at the so-called guardian spirits of this place.

“You are not like ‘guardian gods’.”

I saw that the guys who were previously the Comet Guild were handing over the body of a child to the guys called Guardian Gods.

I threw the ax into the entrance of the mansion with all my might.

The ax surrounded by magical power splits the two guardian spirits and becomes lodged in the wall across from them.

“You guys just..”

So I stepped inside the crumbling mansion.

“It’s just a crude monster pretending to be a guardian deity.”
