The rooftop of a building a little away from the hospital.

Jekyll smiled as he looked at the scene before his eyes.

Younghee did as well as expected.

No, to be honest, it is an achievement that exceeds expectations.

I had no idea that Younghee had ‘that kind of’ talent.

“It is said that a candle burns the loudest before it goes out. The end of a person in despair is such a beautiful thing.”

It’s a little different from plan, but it doesn’t matter.

Today, Younghee dies.

And Cheolsu will fall into despair.

It is enough for Eugene to realize something while looking at that scene.

“Don’t you think so, senior?”

Jekyll turned his head.

Standing there was a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses.

This is Secretary Park, who always served Eugene by his side.

He had just rushed here after dropping off Eugene.

Secretary Park, who was looking at Jekyll in silence, slowly opened her mouth.

“……Is this the work of anti-Eujin faction officials?”

“No, it’s just my opinion.”

“Ha, I thought so. If you’re targeting Eugene, there’s no need to do such a troublesome thing.”

If Jekyll wanted to kill Cheolsu or Younghee, there were many ways.

There is no need to use Younghee right now.

They could have just killed Cheolsu right away.

The fact that hypnosis and drugs were used means that there was a different purpose.

“What are you thinking? Are you planning on warning Eugene?”

If you don’t want to lose more friends, stay quiet.

Well, is that what you think?

If so, you are clearly mistaken.

Eugene does not see them as friends or colleagues.

Rather, it was just a phrase that was easy to use.

As an analogy, it is like chess pieces on a chessboard.

No one has affection for things like wooden decorations.

But Jekyll shook his head as if asking what he meant.

“You misunderstand. I recognize Eugene. It would be nice to have him as a successor right now.”

“Then why did you do this?”

“But it’s still not enough!”

Jekyll said, bursting into laughter.

An incomprehensible madness shone in those eyes.

“Despair and madness! Only when we face that is how humans discover their true selves and grow! What would happen if such a great Eugene suffered betrayal and pain right now? How big will it grow?”

“… … .”

“Haha! Isn’t it really cool, old man! Maybe we’re lucky. Because you can see that person becoming a true monster right next to you!”

It’s crazy.

Jekyll’s appearance now was nothing more or less.

In some sense, he may be seen as an artist.

In the act of trying to develop one’s philosophy in others,

I even feel a unique obsession.

Perhaps that is the driving force behind the man named Jekyll.

“You’re arrogant.”

Secretary Park dismissed Jekyll’s madness in one word.

“I don’t care what kind of idiotic ideology you live by.

But if that interferes with Eugene’s work, it’s a different story. Our role is not to lead Him, but to become a bright path itself.”

“Haha! Those are senior-like words. I respect you.”

Jekyll turned his eyes and looked at Secretary Park.

Secretary Park’s eyes were shining coldly, as if not a drop of blood would come out even if he were stabbed.

With the mental power and will that man has, his hypnosis would be nothing more than a child’s joke.

Even Secretary Park follows Eugene without any doubt.

That alone is enough to guess Kim Yu-jin’s talent.

“Are you going to kill me? Isn’t it possible for Secretary Park, whom Heukcheon boasts of, to have annihilated an organization in one night?”

“It’s not worth it to you.”

Secretary Park spoke in a business-like tone.

The voice was so flat that I couldn’t even feel the tone.

As if telling a very obvious truth that goes without saying.

“You may not have even realized it, but what you have done and why you are standing here. It’s all within Eugene’s calculations.”

“… … .”

“Just dance awkwardly on the Buddha’s palm.”

Secretary Park left those words and turned back.

It looks like he really doesn’t intend to do anything to himself.

In a way, it was a great insult.

Secretary Park cares about Eugene’s well-being more than anyone else.

That action was no different from saying that he was of no help or hindrance.

“……. Eugene is excellent at combat, but he is not good at controlling his magic power. There is no way to save that girl.”

“Ha! You really don’t know anything about Eugene.”

Secretary Park, who was walking, turned his back.

Aside from that, he was smiling a rare laugh that mocked the other person.

“That person is someone who always shows you more than you can imagine. No matter what you expect, it won’t happen.”

Secretary Park said this while laughing at the stupid junior.

“Shall I make a prophecy? Your end will be miserable. Without being able to accomplish anything, I will die realizing my ignorance.”

With those words, Secretary Park jumped off the building.

He landed without incident and returned to the hospital in the parked black Mercedes.

In the first place, his role would have been to assist Eugene.

I can’t believe you’re away while your owner is fighting.

If you think about it with common sense, it was an action that made no sense.

“……I don’t know Eugene? You are the one who really knows nothing.”

Jekyll’s gaze turns to the hospital again.

There, Younghee is still creating a huge magical storm.

Eugene walked slowly toward the center.

A storm of power that even A-class heroes cannot easily approach.

Even in that, he seemed relaxed.

‘You leave me alone after seeing that? Are you going to let that possibility grow normally?’

As expected, the old people of Heukcheon don’t know anything.

The only person who can understand Eugene is himself.

Conversely, Eugene was the only one who could understand him.

Eugene is a worthy successor to Heukcheon.

He was his only understanding.

‘This fight will prove that.’

Thinking so,

Jekyll admired his ‘work’ from afar.

****

-Tap.

And Eugene takes heavy steps.

Every time I took a step, black energy collided and resonated in the air.

A feeling of rejection of one’s own approach.

Eugene thought as he looked at the black storm.

‘…I thought it would be really cool, but what should I do now?’

To be honest, I didn’t understand the situation.

Why did Younghee become like that?

Why did Cheolsu and the class leader collapse?

Hmm….I don’t know.

This wasn’t something I would find out by worrying about it.

Honestly, there is no solution.

Anyway, the problem now is how to solve Younghee over there.

‘How do I know that?’

If you don’t know the problem, there’s no way you can tell it’s a solution.

In the end, Eugene used the method he always used when faced with something he didn’t know.

To put it simply, I sang a rhyme.

‘Lime, what should I do with that?’

Silence for a moment.

Lime asked back as if he was dumbfounded by that naive question.

-……Did you walk all the way here without even thinking?

‘Because it’s an atmosphere where you have to do something.’

Aren’t the scary men staring at you with weapons in hand?

Isn’t Cheolsu lying down with a dying expression?

Meanwhile, Younghee is filming a monster movie by herself.

Asain Eugene stepped forward as if he was swept away by the atmosphere.

-You, I told you not to live so carelessly.

‘Hehe, I did something wrong, so can you tell me what to do?’

-Are you talking as if I can do anything? Do you think I’m a 22nd century cat that will do anything you say?

‘Uh…you don’t know?’

-Ugh!

Lime, who was secretly looking at Eugene, flinched inwardly.

Aren’t those abandoned puppy-like eyes a foul?

There is no way you could look into those eyes and say that there is no way.

Although it makes me angry that he made that facial expression because he wanted to save another girl.

-hmm! hmm! Actually, there is a way.

‘Of course it’s a rhyme! Cool! What is it?’

-The principle itself is simple. Right now, that girl has forcibly opened a gap in her heart and let her magical power run wild. If you fill that up, you can stop.

‘How do you fix it?’

-If it were me, I could do it right away just by touching my body.

To begin with, Lime’s specialty is magic control and brainwashing.

I don’t know how a human could do something like that, but

It wasn’t that difficult for her.

-The problem is that contact with the body itself is difficult. I have to go through that magical storm. The closer you get to Younghee, the more difficult it will be.

‘Hmm.’

Eugene groaned as he watched the magic storm.

It’s still quite difficult, but it gets even worse from here?

I feel a little less confident.

-To put it bluntly, that power can be dangerous even for you. You will need to be prepared to risk your life.

‘Anyway, there is no other way. Then you should do it.’

-……Do you have to do that?

‘huh?’

Eugene tilted his head.

Lime sighed, looking at that innocent expression.

-You and Younghee have met for less than a year. But it’s not like we know each other very well. It’s not like we’ve had a lot of conversations. But is there any reason to risk your life to save it?

Eugene scratched his head.

Actually, what Lime said was not wrong.

He doesn’t know much about Younghee.

Although we are friends, we rarely meet each other.

If you ask me if it’s worth risking my life for… honestly, it might not be.

but-

‘Maybe even if it wasn’t Yeonghee over there and it was someone I didn’t know, I would have done the same.’

Eugene now understands his power to some extent.

If you are like this, no one else will be able to even approach this place.

That’s probably why Cheolsu collapsed.

Maybe he was the only one who could do it.

I save others because I can.

There is no need to give a reason there.

Eugene was that kind of person.

Lime burst into laughter looking at that innocent expression.

-‘…Well, you’re that kind of guy.’

Otherwise, would they have accepted a suspicious slime like me so easily?

Okay, that’s enough for you.

That’s the man I’m in love with.

-……I have to reach that kid’s body somehow. While I’m getting ready, do your best to break through the storm.

“Sure.”

Eugene clenched his fist.

Just give it your all and do it with all your might.

-Heavenly Fist

With a roar, a path appeared in the center of the storm.

Eugene jumped into it without hesitation.

Immediately, he was attacked by black magic flying from all directions.
