hallucination

A type of witchcraft that I experienced several times while in martial arts.

Since this is the modern world, it may be a skill developed using magical power…

The magic and its mechanism of action would not be much different.

The goal would be to stimulate specific areas of the brain, cause disturbance in sensory organs, including the optic nerve, and ultimately cause mental collapse.

Yeonhwa appears before my eyes.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for less than a year, Yeonhwa was an extremely special person to Jihoon.

Not months, but days, or even hours…

Every moment of not being able to see Yeonhwa was an incredibly painful time for Jihoon.

Of course, Jihoon didn’t show it or tell anyone…

The sight of Yeonhwa suddenly jumping out in front of him while he was struggling like this was enough to break him down.

But who is Jihoon?

He is a great man who has reached the extreme as a martial artist and has reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

Whether it’s a hex or a skill…

The spirit of a master who has surpassed the level of Hwagyeong is as strong as his body. It is impossible to inflict damage.

Even at this moment, when the longed-for face appeared before his eyes, Jihoon’s heart was very calm and peaceful, like the surface of a lake where no wind blows.

“Kang Daehyeop…I missed you so much. I missed you so much…”

Despite the tears falling down, Yeonhwa tries hard not to close her eyes… and keeps her own face in her eyes for just one more moment.

In Ji-hoon’s memories, not only Yeon-hwa’s face and voice, but also her actions and thoughts were reflected, enhancing the sense of realism.

“Yeonhwa…isn’t it very difficult? Waiting for me to leave without saying a word…”

“No, Kang Dae-hyeop. I can wait forever. Please…I just hope you don’t forget.”

The tears streaming down her white face hit Jihoon’s heart violently.

Hallucinations…

Now this skill…

It was completed with Jihoon’s memories.

Yeonhwa’s appearance, smell, speech, and actions…

Everything was so clear thanks to Jihoon’s memories.

Ji-hoon knew from the beginning that all of this was a lie and that this was all a trick of that human being called the Demon God…

Jihoon decided not to break this moment, even if only for a moment.

Even though I knew it wasn’t reality, I wanted to touch Yeonhwa and smell her scent, even just for a moment.

step

Another step

Ji-hoon approaches Yeon-hwa.

She sheds tears endlessly

Jihoon reaches out and wipes her tears.

Is it because it stimulates the cranial nerves connected to the sensory nerves?

Even though he knows it’s a lie, Jihoon falls into ecstasy for a moment due to her sharp and soft touch.

“I’m sorry…I’m sorry, Yeonhwa.”

“No, Kang Dae-hyeop. Please… please don’t say you’re sorry to me”

“I missed you so much… months… it felt like eons… ”

“Me too…I was like that too…Me too…”

Before she knew it, Ji-hoon placed his hand on Yeon-hwa’s slender waist and roughly pulled her away.

As Yeonhwa’s body moved, as if being sucked into his arms… Jihoon’s overwhelming emotion doubled even more.

“I want to drop you off some tea…I want to make you the somen dish you like…I want to spend the small details of each happy day with Daehyeop again…”

◦ at

Yeonhwa’s hands moved non-stop, scanning Jihoon’s face and hair as if reading Braille.

Jihoon didn’t reject her touch, which he felt for the first time in a long time.

Cozy and cozy

It was warm.

sweet and

It was soft.

So, every moment of my time with Yeonhwa was happy…

Jihoon felt her again.

“This…is…the world where Daehyup was born?”

“Um…that’s right…but…wait a minute, it’s Yeonhwa.”

Jihoon looked into her eyes and was silent for a moment.

And then soon

Jihoon raises his hand and strokes her hair.

“That’s enough. It was a short time, but it was nice. I’ll be back soon… please wait a little longer”

“…Kang Daehyeop?”

“Because you are not the real Yeonhwa, but a fantasy created by my memories…”

When Ji-hoon took two or three steps back in front of Yeon-hwa,

The air changes in an instant.

Before we know it, Yeonhwa (an illusion in the shape of a woman) has disappeared from nowhere, and Jihoon is the only one left with sad eyes and lost in sentiment.

“Awesome…you’re amazing. You can see through hallucination…”

A haggard-looking middle-aged man reclining on a hospital bed.

His mouth opens, and words full of surprise come out.

“It means that even the spirit is strong…”

“I knew it from the beginning”

“…Yes?”

Jihoon’s calm words

“I knew it from the beginning, from the moment I heard Yeonhwa’s voice.”

“…How?”

“In the world I was in, cheap hexes like this were only used by useless scum. What are you talking about so proudly?”

“Well…what is that…?”

“Even though I know…I really liked seeing Yeonhwa after a long time…I just hung out with her a little. I tried to fool him even for a moment. But…it’s still hard.”

“……”

“For your catch, I relied solely on my memory to recreate Yeonhwa. It was quite realistic, but the unexpectedness of Yeonhwa is something that I cannot embody with my memory and creativity”

“…what are you talking about-”

“Yeonhwa is such a mysterious being that I cannot bring it back to life with my memories. As expected…I have to go back to the real Yeonhwa as soon as possible…as soon as possible…”

Before I knew it, Jihoon seemed to be talking to himself.

Kim Han-seong and Kim Hyun-ah, who had no idea what his story was or what his feelings were, could do nothing other than wait for him, who was lost in sentiment for a moment.

yet

Jihoon takes a step and walks in front of Kim Hanseong and Kim Hyunah.

As he emerged from his contemplation, the sadness and longing from before had already disappeared from his expression.

“It’s late to say hello, right? My name is Kim Han-seong, the representative of Han-seong Guild. Although these friends gave me the shameful title of demon god-”

“You’re a demon and an idiot, kidnapping someone else’s daughter to cure your illness? Do you want to rummage?”

Jihoon spits out harsh curses,

He looked completely different from the calm and serene person who had been immersed in sentimentality just a moment ago.

“…You are talking about Hyeonji Yoo…I have just received a report from Hunter Hyunah Kim. Hunter Kang seems to have misunderstood something.”

“Misunderstanding? I brought someone else’s daughter in to heal my uncle’s illness…huh? Wait a minute, wind blood poisonous insect?”

“Yes?”

“Where did you get that from? There must be nothing in this world… It hurts to wear something like that. Of course, it’s a good thing I haven’t died yet”

“Hunter Kang! wait a minute! Do you know anything about CEO Kim Han-seong’s illness?”

Pushed by Kim Hyun-ah, who was screaming in surprise, Kim Han-seong was unable to even utter a sound.

Her loyalty to Kim Han-seong might be more than Ji-hoon thought.

He wouldn’t react so violently as if it were his own business, or even if it were his own business…

“Kim Hyuna Hunter…no, Hyuna…just calm down for a moment”

“Please tell me, Hunter Kang! Our CEO’s illness…are you aware of it? What is it? What kind of disease is it?”

“Why do I have to tell you that, to a bug-like demon who broke up a father and daughter just to fix their bodies… no, to an asshole”

“Hunter Kang!! Everything is my fault. Gathering the healers and bringing in Hyeonji Yoo! I mean, I took the lead in everything. To save the CEO-”

“Hyun… step aside for a moment”

“CEO!”

“Come on”

At Kim Han-seong’s polite words, Kim Hyun-ah, who was crying and shouting, takes a small step back.

“Hunter Jihoon Kang… he shows too much shame when they first meet. Please forgive me… What you said… Yes, that’s right… It’s my fault and it’s my fault. Even if my guild members did it to save me, I should have been more active in stopping them. I also have regrets about this life-”

“CEO! Representative, for the sake of the country and people-”

“Uh huh. Hyeon-ah…don’t you still know that such a vain excuse won’t work on this person?”

After hearing Kim Han-seong’s words, Kim Hyun-ah purses her lips and clenches her fists.

“No, I like it. It’s all good. The hot dog owner’s daughter is safe, and the Hanseong Guild doesn’t seem like a criminal group. But…I don’t like you? Is it still good to see the devil and the hot dog owner crying? He can’t manage his subordinates properly, he’s terrible at magic, and the good things he’s done for the country… have no evidence. Did you say that he carelessly blew out seven dragon hearts? I really need it… Of course you didn’t know, but if you don’t like it, you don’t like it.”

“Keu…”

After drinking, Kim Han-seong’s voice is low.

There was nothing wrong with what Lee said up front.

No matter how many years it had been since he had been in a hospital bed, he was beginning to feel very pathetic.

“… I admit it… I feel so sorry for myself… I will personally visit Yoo Hyeon-ji’s father, who is the owner of the food truck, and ask for his forgiveness. All healers are also officially registered with the association-”

“Okay, okay… take care of everything, for now-”

Jihoon puts his hand on his waist and pulls out Baekwol.

Grinning

For some reason, the corners of Jihoon’s mouth go up.

“Well, I heard you have a lot of skills, is that true? Instead of weird hallucinations or something like that, come up with some amazing things you know how to do. If you see it and think it’s useful, I’ll cure your illness. Actually, wind-blooded poisonous insects are nothing special”

An unprecedented vitality instantly fills the eyes of Kim Han-seong, who is leaning against the hospital bed.

Whiuuut

Everything around the hospital bed, including Kim Hyun-ah, except for Kim Han-seong and Ji-hoon, flies away.

“Oooh is this telekinesis? Also… do you know what else to do?”

In front of Ji-hoon, who is full of curiosity, stands Kim Han-seong, who is raising his magic power to the fullest.

“This means proving my worth, right? great. I will show you all the abilities I have.”

It was Kim Han-seong who met Ji-hoon for the first time, but for some reason, he couldn’t help but completely believe Ji-hoon’s words that he would cure his illness.

For some reason…I don’t know why…

In front of me, this man named Kang Ji-hoon did not seem like a person who would spout nonsense.
