episode_0153

1:00 a.m.

But, like a sunset afternoon, the sky burns red.

The penthouse’s glass and frame were completely blown away.

The cold night air tickled my lungs like an open terrace.

I stared blankly at the sunset.

Perhaps it is because I am seeing Vice Chairman Na Hyeon’s skills for the first time in my life, but this whole thing still feels like a dream.

So far, it’s just the enemy’s escape and a pile of corpses.

Anna’s unusually strong physical body.

Even I, who had seen Jisoo’s firestorm, was amazed by Nahyun’s skills.

It almost feels like the Vice President is a divine being who has come to Earth to visit.

“—.”

However, that thought completely disappeared when I saw her hiccuping after using the technique.

Could it be because I used a powerful finishing move in the middle of the night while drunk?

She staggered and slumped down on the sofa.

“Those are really cool too. Aren’t you, Siho?”

I was hiding behind the sofa and peeked my head out.

And he nodded with a very frightened expression on his face.

“Yes… . I survived thanks to you. Thank you, Vice President. ”

“It’s really hard to find a daughter-in-law!”

The vice president shouted, throwing his head back over the sofa.

Then, the cool night air hit my lungs and I coughed lightly.

“Would you like some honey water?”

“No, what kind of honey water is this at this hour of the morning? Do you have another drink?”

Even after what happened just now, you’re still looking for alcohol.

If it were normal, I would have refused, asking, “What’s the use of drinking so late at night?”

However, I personally witnessed her fighting while drunk.

Probably no alcohol will harm her liver.

As that thought occurred to me, the corners of my mouth went up involuntarily.

I slowly sit up and answer her question.

“Yes, I’ll buy you a drink.”

I slowly approached the kitchen.

But, while walking, my steps suddenly stop.

Because the kitchen was in a terrible state after being hit by a solar storm.

It’s a total mess, like a nuclear bomb had been dropped.

The cabinet glass and the glasses were all broken.

As I fumbled around to avoid the sharp glass shards, I noticed a shaker lying on the sink.

It’s probably because it’s made of stainless steel that it doesn’t break.

Let me give you a ride here.

I opened the kitchen cabinet on the bottom floor.

Inside was some vodka, still unopened.

Since you’re a drinker, you might be okay with a strong cocktail, right?

I put all the ingredients in at once and shook it briskly.

The vice president hears the shaking sound.

She enjoyed the friction, shaking her thighs slightly.

A shaker chilled with ice.

I carefully wrapped a towel around myself and approached Na-Hyeon.

but….

Suddenly, I stopped walking.

Because something fell slowly from the sky.

Is that snow…?

no.

The feathers are white and fluffy.

Did a bird just fly past in the sky?

However, it is clear that the height of this place is 24 stories.

Although the sky has brightened with the Vice President’s solar storm, it is still dawn.

But white feathers fall from the sky.

I slowly raised my head at the feeling of alienation.

and….

My eyes began to flutter at the sight I had never seen before.

“Angel… ?”

“Our daughter-in-law, what did you say?”

A word I muttered without realizing it.

After hearing those words, Na Hyun also turned his head towards the sky.

Soon, her half-opened green eyes also begin to round.

Broken ceiling.

Because above them stood white-haired, red-eyed people wearing white togas.

There are a whopping 5 of them.

They all had white wings on their backs.

“What is that?”

Na-Hyeon blinked her eyes at the unbelievable scene.

However, even so, the appearance of the angels did not disappear.

Rather, as if this situation were reality, they all landed in the living room.

“Who are you?”

Both hands holding the shaker are trembling.

I slowly backed away and ended up hitting my back against the wall.

Even his bare feet start to bleed from stepping on shards of glass.

But I was too scared to feel any such pain.

Because all the angels were looking at me intently.

Their red eyes.

It is so alien that it seems as if it does not exist in this world.

“… .”

The angels gave no answer to my questions.

As if it wasn’t worth answering.

Instead, they lined up in a pentagonal shape.

Then something magical happened.

A strange shape that you would only see in a movie.

The ground they occupied in a pentagonal shape.

A soft glow begins to emanate from the ground.

yet.

In that light, someone’s silhouette ripples.

A shape that gradually becomes clearer.

The moment I realized who the person who showed up was.

I thought my heart stopped.

“Rep. Park Shin-ae… .”

The person who took away my abilities.

The culprit of the disaster that is plaguing our current society.

It’s Park Shin-ae.

Summoned into the light, she looks down at me.

She was wearing a white silk dress.

As if I were a goddess.

“It’s been a while, Siho.”

The voice is clearly Park Shin-ae’s.

But I swallowed deeply at the sight of her somewhat changed appearance.

Because she had white hair like the angels standing around her.

Only the blue eye color remained the same.

Soon those eyes took on a strange smile.

“No, my little lost fox?”

“Don’t call me that.”

I found the word fox very offensive.

He glared at her with sharp eyes and spoke firmly.

However, even in that state of mine, Park Shin-ae still did not lose her smile.

An arrogant and benevolent smile.

He is very relaxed, as if he had become a divine being while we were not together.

“Back off, Siho. That doesn’t look like a normal girl.”

Na-Hyeon got up from the sofa.

And he picked up his longsword that was lying on the floor.

But even after seeing the sword, Park Shin-ae is still relaxed.

Instead, he looked at the vice president and asked, seeming happy.

“You are the vice president of Ilsim, Choi Na-hyun, right?”

“Oh, okay.”

Na Hyun answered Park Shin Ae’s gentle question firmly.

“If our Zero (00) hadn’t taken the coordinates before he died, we wouldn’t have gotten here. I’m glad to see it in person.”

Park Shin-ae extended her hand for a handshake.

But the vice president didn’t even glance at that hand.

“I’m your friend? He came all the way to your house and made a mess. Are you happy to see him?”

The vice president aimed the sword at Park Shin-ae.

Even after spewing out her black sunstorm, the edges were still red.

“You can even use magic, so are you a witch or something?”

“Witch… There was a time when I was called by such a peculiar name. But now it’s different.”

Park Shin-ae spread her arms generously.

Then the white silk draped over her elbows spread out like long wings.

“As you can see, I have become a god.”

When Park Shin-ae stretches out both arms, a halo appears.

We all frowned at the feeling of incongruity.

“It’s still incomplete. I haven’t fully absorbed the Angelic Hand, and I didn’t know that Misha would betray me.”

Misha betrayed you…?

What does this mean?

Now that I think about it, I thought I had lost all my abilities when I was taken to Park Shin-ae’s lab.

But I thought he just couldn’t absorb it because he still had a little bit of ability left… .

Actually, it was Misha who hid a piece of my ability.

Suddenly, the face of a little girl looking down at me with pity comes to mind.

“That’s why I came to find it myself.”

Park Shin-ae’s blue eyes soon pierce through me.

I didn’t give in to those gazes and faced them confidently.

“I will never give it to you. It was my ability to begin with.”

“I knew you’d say that.”

Park Shin-ae smiled faintly.

And then again when I half opened my eyes… .

“However, the ability should be used by someone who is suited to the position.”

She clapped her hands lightly.

Then, all five angels spread their wings at the same time and a strong wind began to blow.

That’s why I covered my face with both arms.

The shards of glass scattered on the floor all rain down like bullets.

Na-Hyeon quickly threw her body to block the pieces pouring down on me.

“Vice President, it’s dangerous!”

The vice president who is protecting me.

I shouted with all my might for her who couldn’t see ahead.

Five rushing white blades.

The vice president dodged the blade and rolled to the floor with me.

“Our daughter-in-law… , hide here for a moment. I’ll be right back.”

The vice president climbed on top of me and smiled bitterly.

Red blood was already flowing from his forehead… .

She didn’t even look sick.

“Vice President… .”

I muttered in a sad voice.

But she paid no attention and got up from her seat.

And he faced the five angels with his longsword firmly gripped.

Park Shin-ae leisurely watches the fight with her hands behind her back.

They carry opaque, sharp swords like animal bones.

They all rushed towards the Vice President at the same time with movements that were incomparable to those of Adam and Eve from Zero.

“… !!”

Five people stab multiple places at once as if they were one.

Na-Hyeon’s eyes, which had been wide open until now, dilate due to the intense attack.

head.

neck.

I narrowly avoided the bone knife aimed at those two areas.

The sword aimed for the heart was barely blocked with the blade.

The third sword aimed at his leg was also quickly swiped by his feet.

but….

A blow aimed at the abdomen.

Even the world’s greatest vice president couldn’t avoid that blow.

“Sob… .”

Red blood drips from the bone that pierced her stomach.

Thanks to that, black blood flows back from Na-Hyeon’s lips.

“Blocking four swords from the messenger of God…. She really is the third strongest woman in this country.”

Park Shin-ae walked slowly while looking at the pierced girl.

And he gently rubbed the bone knife soaked in Na-Hyeon’s blood.

“But these angels were all made from the hair of the first ranked invitee. There’s no way you could fight them alone.”

Shin-ae got Na-hyeon’s black blood on her fingers.

And I had a quick taste.

“He’s definitely much weaker than Chairman Choi Ho-seon. If it were him, he would not only block it, but also counterattack.”

Her angelic blue eyes and smile.

At that smile, Na-Hyeon’s green eyes become as fierce as a snake.

“Don’t spit out my father’s name with your dirty mouth… .”

“Why? I was his colleague too, so of course I can say that. Choi Ho-seon-. Choi Ho-seon-.”

My father was bedridden with old age and illness.

But Park Shin-ae maintains her youthful appearance.

The vice president couldn’t believe that the person who created the new government was his father’s former colleague.

And how many humans must he have killed to maintain that youth?

“Crazy bitch… .”

The vice president gritted his teeth and muttered.

It seemed as if Shin-ae could be cut in half at any moment, but her pierced body could not move easily.

Shin-ae knew Na-hyeon’s situation well.

Thanks to that, I was able to leisurely turn my head towards her even when she was right in front of me.

“Okay, Miss Siho. Here is the woman who saved you so far, Na-Hyeon.”

“If you don’t give me your power, this person will eventually die.”

“What are you going to do now? Are you just going to let the person you saved die? Like that snuff film?”

Snuff film…?

Those five letters hit me hard.

Could it be because of the shock?

Memories that I had forgotten began to come back to me, one by one.

Sindorim Station.

Wyvern.

The dead Hyun-soo and Gyu-seon.

Counters.

And… Jisoo, who was dying.

She was the one with the white and black flowing out.

That image intersects with Vice Chairman Na Hyeon.

I look at Park Shin-ae with trembling eyes.

Then the vice president shouted in an urgent voice.

“Siho, don’t worry about me! Don’t chase that bitch!”

“Vice President… .”

Park Shin-ae, who saw me shaking, approached me leisurely.

And then he takes my hand and speaks in a serious voice.

“Just give me your powers and I won’t bother you anymore.”

Their angelic hands react to each other.

At that moment, I realized that Park Shin-ae’s heart was sincere.

If only I could really surpass my abilities… .

That he would save both of us.
