Kang–!

The sound of swords clashing with sparks flying.

It’s shaky—-!

Lightning spews out from Han Seo-jin’s right hand.

Boom-!

bang—-!

Xiao nimbly dodged the attack and threw himself into the air.

Immediately, I slashed my sword vertically towards him.

Kang–!

Sparks fly again and the swords and bodies collide,

The cold that was all over his body was flowing through the sword.

‘What kind of magic is this…?’

Quad deuk—!

As she slashed his torso with her gladius,

The intense chill that flowed from the intruder’s entire body bounced off the blade like thick armor.

“I guess I messed up a bit.“

“I have to use everything I can as much as possible… I won’t be able to beat you…!“

Boom—!

Grrr!

A much more intense level of flame than before dwelled on the blade,

As he slashed his katana towards Xiao, sword energy of tremendous power spread out in all directions.

Chullalak–!

Haaah!

She spread her cloak like a shield to block the flame blade,

He once again poured out his magic power and swung his sword fiercely at him.

Kang—Kagang—!

Kagagak—!

‘I’m moving faster than before… Is this also an effect of the elixir…!’

Xiao smiled and swung his sword without realizing it,

As soon as Xiao lowered his sword, he also immediately took a stance with his eyes flashing.

I blocked the attack by tilting the blade according to the trajectory of the gladius swing.

Dozens of combinations were made, and a life-threatening duel continued.

Her heart pounded and adrenaline began to surge in her brain.

In this boring world where there is nothing to be curious about anymore.

Just living each day dullly,

Although I lived according to the script of the church that gave me the purpose of life,

She lived like that, pouring in empty and unfulfilled emotions.

For some reason, ever since I met a man named Han Seo-jin.

My heart was pounding like this.

Those black gloves, and the rumor that he uniquely uses guns in battle.

And those fluid yet flashy movements.

Lastly, the beautiful appearance that can be seen even through the mask.

She had already noticed his presence.

A man deeply embedded in Xiao’s heart.

Because, other than Han Seo-jin, there is no other man who could be such a worthy rival to her.

Kang—! Kagang—!

Boom—!

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang—!

“Pfft…!“

Traces of a bullet that passed by his cheek.

And a drop of warm blood flowing from the wound.

Unlike before, his attack became faster and created a momentary gap.

Although he narrowly missed the bullet, his face was scratched.

A harpoon made of concrete rises from the floor, and lightning is created by hand.

Occasionally, firebombs fly into the subspace that opens up.

He even seemed to have telekinetic powers, occasionally twisting his sword and slashing his katana into the gap.

‘…Did you see through it? Or…did my skills grow just by competing with sums like this a few times…!’

Even more so than the level 5 chairman we faced in the academy’s basement warehouse.

He had better skills than any opponent I had ever met.

Of course, in her opinion, her fighting skills are still lacking,

It seemed like he was using most of his skills while relying on the equipment he was wearing.

Nevertheless, the way he used it in battle was truly unique.

Quad deuk…!

“Really…you really don’t know…!“

“Same here…!“

As he twisted his right hand, her weapon began to shift to one side.

Seojin Han immediately created a sharp harpoon from the ceiling and struck it with concrete.

fault—!

Wajangchang—!

But she immediately grabbed the sword and did a somersault,

He kicked the harpoons flying towards him and destroyed them in an instant.

The man in black seemed to be having more and more difficulty controlling himself as time passed.

Occasionally he would vomit blood and vomit blood all over the floor.

“The elixir… I don’t think my body can withstand pouring so much magic power into it at once. Wouldn’t it be better to surrender slowly?“

“Cough…I…can’t lose…there’s still…a lot of work to do…“

“It’s as if you’re carrying all the burden on your own. Did you send away all the colleagues who attacked with you?“

“Ha…ha…you’ll be surprised if you find out who that colleague is.“

bang—-!

At that moment, a rocket came flying out of the subspace that opened behind her,

Xiao, caught up in the intense explosion, crashed into a display case.

“Ugh…this is pretty painful…“

Buuuung—!

Weees

A red ray of light burned along with the sound of intense plasma,

Next, one of the hands growing from his back pulled out a chainsaw and other weapons one after another.

“Please…surrender now. I don’t want to do this either. Maybe there is still a way…“

“No, this is the only way you can survive.“

Crunch…

Xiao put the dislocated shoulder blade back in,

He then spoke, covering his entire body with an even more intense black light.

He took a stance with a remorseful smile as if he would no longer look at it,

He spat the blood from the corner of his mouth onto the floor and spoke coldly.

“I think I already know who you are to some extent. And the reason you are so hesitant to take my life…is that I may be quite important in your heart now.“

“So now…“

“But whoever you are. My beliefs are unwavering. I will cut you down mercilessly for doing this, and you will have to treat me the same way.“

“…Damn…“

“Otherwise… you will die. So let’s end it quickly, you and I…you knew this day would come someday.“

“Ugh…!”

Kugugugugugugung…!

As she released all her power and wrapped it around her sword body,

It was as if a huge black dragon had come alive and appeared in the world.

He slowly composed himself and held the red plasma lightsaber,

I exhaled and took a stance.

The two men and women were able to sense it instinctively.

This combination will be the last and the final move that will decide the game.

Pot—!

Crack—!

The two instantly kicked off the ground and rushed towards each other.

Then he quickly raised his sword to end his life.

A ray of light shining brightly in red and the saw blade of a chainsaw.

And the body of a one-handed sword that oozes overwhelming black energy.

The moment those two met.

Kwagwagwagwang—-!

With a collision of such force that it felt as if the entire room would explode,

As the sword bodies collided, an overwhelming destructive power was released, enough to blow everything away.

“Pfft…!“

Xiao immediately grabbed the sword body and went behind him,

He sent sword energy flying towards the magical arms growing behind his back at a speed that made it impossible for him to even react.

Hiss—!

Quad deud deuk—!

“Ugh…! Damn it…!“

Just as he was about to quickly turn around and swing his lightsaber at her,

Xiao exhaled energy and struck his solar plexus with all his might.

bang—-!

Clink—-!

“Ugh…!“

Han Seo-jin received such a strong shock that he felt as if he would explode in an instant, and flew towards the wall.

The solid cabinet was instantly destroyed, and I lowered my head, buried in the fragments.

Before he could come to his senses, Xiao took power over him.

Boom—!

Bah—-!

“Cluck…cough…!”

“…It’s over now.”

Clap…!

When he was hit hard in the abdomen, blood poured out of his mouth.

The intruder knelt on the floor and lowered his head, as if completely unconscious.

No matter how long or how long it flew, the difference in power was far greater.

Not only is there a clear difference in their natural fighting skills, but also in the number of fights they have experienced.

Han Seo-jin had only experienced combat directly for a few months after awakening.

“Cough…haa…ha…“

“Can you feel the difference in power? This is the end of it all. You were defeated by me, and your journey will end here.“

A black noise crackled, covering his face,

Xiao looked at him with his fists clenched.

According to what was written in the script, the intruder’s heart should have been ripped out alive right away.

For some reason, she looked at him with a little hesitation.

The image of a man being helplessly suppressed while kneeling,

The sight of her standing in front of him, preparing to put an end to the intruder.

I started to feel uncomfortable, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

“…No, I need to clearly check who you are. Still, as much as you made me happy… I have to treat you accordingly.“

Quad deuk—-!

She immediately broke the black mask covering his face.

When his feeble magic power was destroyed, his hidden face was revealed.

Hidden inside it was the face of a beautiful, pure white boy.

“…I knew it was you, of course. Seojin-gun.“

“Ha…ha…yeah…I thought you would have noticed. Xiao.“

He held his stomach and raised his head.

Han Seo-jin’s face showed a distorted expression of terrible pain,

Blood was leaking little by little from the lips and eyes.

But it was quite different from the sight I saw in my dream.

Instead of regret and sadness on his face, there was hope and relief.

Knowing that she could take his life at any time,

I didn’t feel afraid at all.

“Are you not afraid? The fact that my life ends like this.“

He coughed repeatedly and fell to the floor.

After vomiting a liquid mixed with saliva and blood for a long time, I was barely able to answer.

“Ha…ha…cough…yeah, it’s a little scary. But… you know, Xiao… in the end… in the end… I will win… “

“What does that mean?“

“Of course it’s true that I lost, but… whew… can I still beat my colleagues without the relic? “

“…?”

When Xiao turned around and looked around, he saw a terrible scene.

When Han Seo-jin flew towards the display case due to the previous attack.

And from the moment I released my energy and sent countless sword energy flying away.

He predicted the trajectory of the sword and deliberately threw himself towards the display case,

In the last attack, the entire body was blown up and the cabinet containing the relics was destroyed.

Even when she put all her concentration into taking her own life,

He didn’t care and quickly spewed blood from his mouth toward the relics that fell on the glass shards as he picked them up with his hands.

Paaat…

“I really…was this…all your plan…?”

“Ha…ha…okay, I don’t think I can win the fight…cough…! I have to achieve my goal at least.”

Thanks to this, the relics that came into contact with the blood of the Advent immediately discolored to a dark color.

The sacred energy was completely lost and it was reduced to a useless antique.

Except for two of her weapons: the Blue Dragon Blade and the blue treasured sword.

Now it has been reduced to an ugly thing that can no longer be viewed as a holy relic.

“Ha… It’s so funny that when my cursed blood touches a holy relic… it becomes completely useless like this. Isn’t that right?”

“I see…the reason you didn’t dodge my attack on purpose…and the reason you threw yourself at the decoration cabinet on purpose was all for this…”

“Haha…yeah, that’s right. Well, let’s say I avoid it. I knew that I had no choice but to lose like this.”

He smiled at her as if he had no regrets.

Normally, if he smiled brightly at me like that, I would feel warm and loving,

When I realized I could no longer see his face,

She was filled with sad feelings, and her heart was gradually turning white.

“After I die… it won’t be the end. I killed all the important figures in this church…cough…Natasha and Azur, the two executives are now on my side.“

“…Is it because of you? Sister Natasha…even Sister Azur…then it was Sister Azur who participated in the terrorist attack and guided you here…“

“Yes, that’s right. Moreover, after me…the children whose lives I saved from the cult will continue the struggle. Then…cough…! There are no relics… and with all the believers dead, you, who have no power… will continue to fight a fight that you will inevitably lose.“

“…Are you…not a waste of your life?”

He smiled helplessly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and

He barely lit it and blew out white smoke from the corner of his mouth.

“To be honest…yeah, I don’t want to die either. But, I hate seeing those children die even more. It’s something I’ve already decided to do. I will protect it no matter what the cost. From these crazy pseudo-bastards.“

“…Seo Jin-gun. You’re really…getting me into trouble. “

“Yes, I know. And you know what? Among the people I want to protect… is you. Since you have saved my life so many times… I still believe that there will be a chance to save you. “

“…“

“When I die, you will realize it too. What church you belong to now, and what kind of monster is pretending to be an angel. Now, I won’t stop you, so just do your thing. I don’t know if I’ll go back to the past if I die again…“

He slowly took Xiao’s hand and pulled it closer to his solar plexus.

Then he smiled brightly and looked at her.

“If I can save you even if I die, that is enough. Then…I can protect you this time. Right?“

“Seo Jin-gun…“

Xiao looked at his face and was deeply troubled.

It’s not that I didn’t expect this situation to come up until now.

From the moment we first met in the student council room, and from the day I realized his intense hostility toward the church.

Because I thought there would come a day when I would personally take his life like this.

I thought that if that day came, her faith would not be shaken.

As always, I will eliminate the enemies of the church without regret or hesitation.

“I…I…you…”

But I just couldn’t do that.

Like something I saw in a nightmare, or maybe even a precognitive dream.

He smiled brightly like that, as if he was forgiving everything.

Perhaps he is willing to throw his life away like this, as if he is trying to save himself from this ridiculous religion.

Xiao’s eyes wavered and he just looked at him.

The day you kissed me that day.

The excitement at the movie theater,

When we were walking down the street at night together, the time seemed to have stopped.

It just becomes an old memory that will fade someday.

If not better than this man,

I’m sure someday I’ll meet a man who looks human in his own way…

“I…I…”

She already knew.

It can’t be done without this man.

Now, if you take his life like this.

I regret it for the rest of my life,

The fact that I will hate my past self and my present self for the rest of my life.

“Seo Jin-gun.“

“Yes, I’m listening.“

Xiao came to a conclusion in his heart.

Although I don’t know what the consequences of this will be.

She is no longer a slave to the script.

I decided to follow my honest feelings.

“Have you ever heard of Bangchuengsul?“

“Huh?“

Han Seo-jin tilted his head.

The same goes for inferring the meaning of the words that came out of her mouth out of nowhere.

The purpose was to figure out why Xiao’s eyes had pink hearts drawn on them.

“Bangjungsul… refers to the act of a man and a woman exchanging each other’s energy… that is, magical power. “

“Uh…but why…?“

Whoosh—!

She knelt on the floor and pulled him close,

Very gently and warmly, it completely embraced him.

“I…I really like you, Seojin. And…now I know how I feel. What do I really want? “

“Xiao…!“

He looked happy and stroked her head,

Xiao then looked into his eyes and spoke lovingly.

“My magical power has been depleted due to the recent battle… but it looks like your magical energy is still sufficient. And…I think the time has come to perform an anti-cancer technique.“

“But…uh…isn’t that so-called ‘bangjungsul’ just a matter of hugging?“

Xiao chuckled and shook his head.

“No, you need a little warmer skinship.“

“Uh…wait a minute. Ugh…! hey…! Wait…!“

She grabbed him by both wrists and knocked him to the floor.

Next, he put a piece of paper into the chest pocket of Han Seo-jin’s suit.

The only piece of paper he returned to himself that day.

If you truly find what you want, that paper tells you to tell yourself your wish at any time.

The wish ticket was placed in his arms.

“Now… Seo Jin-gun, I have secured victory in today’s battle… so I must take you as a trophy. “

“Now…wait a minute…! Xiao this is…!“

“Yes, it is a wish right. You gave me…the most precious gift.“

“Room…wait…! I remembered…! If it’s a free-for-all drink, that’s it…! You’re just saying shit!!!“

widely—!

Xiao hit him hard on the back of the neck.

He fell helplessly onto her shoulder and fainted.

“Hehe… That’s right, I guess I finally remembered it now. Now… then, I will invite you to my house…“

She lifted him up onto her shoulders and looked at him with loving eyes.

I stroked his already fainted face with one hand and gently kissed his cheek.

“My loving companion… my savior…“

So, Xiao kidnapped Han Seo-jin,

headed to her house.
