“If the goal was simply to kill, you could have killed him at first sight.”

“Yes, that’s right. You know it well.”

When Do Yu-jin finally opened her mouth, Monica smiled brightly and said.

“But I felt it was a bit of a shame to end things so simply.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t know about you, but it’s not easy for a situation like this to come about from the beginning.”

Monica frowned involuntarily as she listened to Do Yu-jin’s continued words.

I couldn’t tell what he was saying, but I could tell for sure that his mind hadn’t given up yet.

“Of all the events I know of, the one you’re holding has the least amount of damage.”

“What the heck was that a little while ago… … ”

“On that topic, I thought the scale was large enough to be used as a warning to the protagonist and the people of this world to prepare for future threats.”

Do Yu-jin raised her head, which she had been lowering.

The hooded hat he had been wearing pulled up slightly, revealing his face.

“That’s why I didn’t try to catch you when I first saw you on the street. I wanted you to create a situation like this.”

“You… …what the hell are you talking about right now?”

Monica looked at Do Yu-jin’s eyes, the only ones that were revealed, and said annoyedly.

“Ah, don’t interrupt me and just be quiet for a bit.”

Do Yu-jin continued speaking with her eyes filled with a sense of bewilderment at herself, a sense of relief at this situation, and anticipation for something.

“It feels really weird saying this with my own mouth… …but I feel really good right now.”

Do Yu-jin said that in a slightly trembling voice and leaned against the railing as if enjoying the moment.

Then, the night view of the circle spread out under the roof decorated Do Yu-jin’s back like a halo.

“I didn’t know, but I guess I’ve been really stressed out lately. I just took out a little bit of what I had been holding inside, but it feels so good.”

“… … That’s a strange statement for a will.”

Monica frowned and said, feeling a strange pressure from Do Yu-jin for a moment.

Because her lofty pride made her reluctant to admit that she felt fear for even a brief moment at the trash in front of her.

“Well, fine. I’ll say that your ridiculous statement about letting me go even though you saw me a little while ago is all true.”

Taak-

“Thanks to that, I’m a little more curious about what you’re hiding and hiding.”

Monica flicked her fingers.

“But I don’t have time right now, so I’ll hear the rest later in my lab.”

At his signal, dozens of bats leapt out of her shadow, filling the rooftop sky like stars.

A warning not to even think about escaping through falling.

“I just have one question,”

“Laughing at him,” Monica said, the corners of her lips raised.

“Is this the situation you were hoping for?”

“Are you curious?”

As Do Yu-jin spoke, he grabbed the dagger and gun that he had kept on his waist instead of the subspace.

‘ruler.’

All the main characters, including the two protagonists, are learning how to use this crisis as an opportunity to soar into the sky.

So now I had to fly too.

‘I still don’t want to fight and I don’t want to get involved in anything, but what can I do?’

In order to continue to avoid their eyes, which will one day allow me to fly freely in the high skies, the best thing for me to do is to learn how to fly myself.

‘Let’s give it a try.’

It was time to fly high, using her in front of me, her standing as a villain on the stage, as a stepping stone.

“Phew, what a cute and shabby weapon.”

Monica laughed out loud when she saw the weapon Do Yu-jin took out.

He exaggerated a little bit so as not to let it be known that he was a little nervous.

“Are you really trusting such a cute weapon and acting so arrogant towards me right now?”

“No.”

Do Yu-jin said, lightly shaking the weapons he was holding in each of his hands.

“It’s not this weapon that I trust, it’s my talent.”

“Ahahaha! Talent? Talent? ”

Monica laughed out loud, covering her mouth with her fan.

This time it was so genuinely funny that I burst out laughing.

“Ah, it’s fun talking to you. I can’t see you very well because of the mask, but looking at your eyes, I feel like your face isn’t bad either… … Hmm~ Yes, I’ve decided! ”

Monica, who had lowered her debt slightly, said with the corners of her lips exposed.

“I’d like you to invite me to my house, not the lab.”

Chorak-

The black shadow bats, hearing the signal from Monica, bared their fangs all at once.

Paralyzing venom dripped from their fangs to incapacitate captured enemies.

“I’ll hang you on the wall with all your limbs cut off. So, instead of a grandfather clock, you’ll tell me the time every day. Oh, and talking to me whenever I’m bored is also important, right?”

Choaaaak-

As Monica finished speaking, one of the bats flying in the sky flapped its wings.

The guy who shot his new type like that ran towards Do Yu-jin.

“Tsk!”

Do Yu-jin, who saw him, quickly rolled on the ground to avoid the guys’ fangs.

‘You’re just trying to enjoy watching me struggle, even though it’s just a single bat moving?’

Do Yu-jin clicked her tongue, thinking that he was a really nice person.

On the other hand, Monica’s eyes sparkled with interest when she saw Do Yu-jin.

“Oh, so you’re using shadows to surround your entire body to help you move? Oh, come to think of it, when you moved the gun a little while ago, you were using shadows to move, right? ”

Monica tilted her head in confusion and went over the facts she already knew one by one.

It was her unique way of speaking to fully reveal her arrogance to her enemies.

“That’s amazing. As you can see, I’m also good at manipulating shadows. It’s not a common talent, but it’s fate that we met like this. Don’t you think it’s fate?”

Bingle-

Monica said so and playfully turned the umbrella around.

In this way, every time Yangsan turned around, the number of bats flying towards Doyujin increased by one.

And when that number exceeded a certain number, Do Yu-jin gave up on dodging and stood still, concentrating on swinging his gun and dagger.

“Well, this is also fate, so I’m the same as you, but as a senior walking that long way ahead, I’ll give you one piece of advice.”

Monica said, watching Do Yu-jin’s outburst with an obvious laugh.

“I don’t know what you think of yourself, but you don’t have any talent. Oh, of course, you might not believe me with this.”

So, come on, let’s see for ourselves.

Clang-

As Monica stretched her hand toward the sky, the number of bats decorating the sky instantly doubled.

The night that had been filled with beautiful lights and fireworks exploding was covered in darkness.

Monica smiled and said from underneath.

“This is talent.”

Monica said as she looked at Do Yu-jin, who was starting to bleed after being hit by a bat’s claws and wings.

“You seem pretty good at manipulating the shadows that surround your body, so you probably have a lot of practice. But then you already know, right? You don’t have the talent to connect with the dark like I do.”

The most important talent for those who handle attributes is the ability that connects to the attribute being handled.

Simply put, the ability to empathize with attributes.

The reason why the lightning that ran freely in the sky chose to stay by the side of a ten-year-old girl who liked to sleep rather than an old man who was devoted to training was because the girl’s empathy was higher than that of the old man.

“And this empathy does not go beyond the level that is innate, unless it is a really special case.”

A literal gift from heaven, something that cannot be changed by human power.

“That means, with your talents that can only use the darkness beneath your feet, you will never be able to beat me, who is superior in every way.”

“I guess so.”

Do Yu-jin nodded obediently after hearing that.

At the same time, I thought about it again.

He said that he was really glad that Monica was in front of him right now.

“Right now.”

If it had been another enemy who had come here, and not her, who enjoyed standing above others and venting her vanity, it would have been virtually impossible to continue preparing leisurely like this.

“Haa, your mouth really never gets tired.”

Monica, who had been grumbling softly, raised her hand as if she was about to finish.

With that one gesture, the bats floating in the air merged into one, soon transforming into a figure larger than an adult man.

A life or death crisis.

Phew-

In it, Do Yu-jin closed her eyes for a moment and looked at something.

From the moment he first fell into this world, 15 huge chains had been wrapping around his entire body and pulling him down.

‘It’s still jingling even when I look at it again.’

Do Yu-jin, who had been staring at them for a while, bit her lips as if she had made up her mind.

And then he reached out his hand towards the chain that boasted a color so black it seemed like it would devour the light.

Crackle-

A chain so thick and strong that it feels like it will never break.

Feeling the cold sensation, Do Yu-jin muttered with anticipation.

‘Use 30 points.’
