Chapter 426
I am not a returner Episode 426 Interlude
– Escape (3)
“Hmm. “Isn’t this a development I didn’t expect?”
The Heavenly Demon smiled and looked back at the beast and dragon tribe troops that followed Riak.
When I asked why I couldn’t see him, I couldn’t have guessed that he would bring reinforcements directly from the Demon Lord.
It was something completely unexpected even for him.
No, to be more precise.
“So, are you going to try to stop me with the dragon and beast tribes?”
It was something that there was no need to even anticipate.
“But do you think that’s possible?”
Aren’t the dragon and beast people weak beings who were helplessly defeated even by the ‘demon race’ that he created for moderate use?
Blocking one’s path with warriors from the dragon or beast tribe was like trying to block a dump truck with a bump made of Styrofoam.
“You and a child are just as cocky.”
joy.
Riak snorted in disapproval and changed his body into the form of a werewolf.
Bursting muscles covered his entire body like armor.
“Do not ignore the power of the great warriors who have lived in the barren land of the Demon World for hundreds of years.”
Crumbling.
He walked forward, crying fiercely.
When I just passed by Oh Jin like that.
“You won’t be able to last long, so quickly escape to the sanctuary.”
A small voice, almost like a whisper, came to Ojin’s ears.
“…Riak.”
In front of the Heavenly Demon, he showed off his confidence and told people not to ignore the strength of the warriors.
Riak also knew very well how absurd it was to fight the Heavenly Demon with only the power of dragon and beast warriors.
“But…”
It was obvious what kind of end the dragon and beast people would face if he ran away to the sanctuary.
“joy. “Since when do you make that kind of face just because you think so much about others?”
Riak raised the corners of his mouth as if he was laughing.
“Stop being annoying and get out of here.”
“…Riak.”
“Don’t look at me like that because it makes me feel bad.”
“This bastard until the end….”
“It’s not a dog, it’s a wolf.”
Riak grinned and slapped Ojin’s back loudly.
“Go, kid.”
That’s the last word.
Riak let out a ferocious roar and turned into a ray of silver lightning, shooting towards the Heavenly Demon.
“Wow!”
“let’s go! Warriors! “It’s time to show the power of the beast people!”
“The blessings of the dragon god and shaman will protect our dragon people!”
With a shout that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, the armies of the beast and dragon tribe rushed towards the Heavenly Demon.
Rumbling!
A harsh roar echoed throughout the city.
“Mr. Oh Jin.”
“….”
“You have to go.”
Isabella grabbed Ojin’s hesitant hand.
“There is no one other than Mr. Oh Jin who can defeat the Heavenly Demon.”
Know.
Now I have to survive somehow, even if it means sacrificing others.
Other than the ‘star in the sky’, there is no one who can change the fate that has been decided.
but.
Although everyone knows it.
“Damn it.”
Oh Jin chewed his lips and turned around.
“This way, Ojin!”
So Cassia and Ohjin Isabella Ha-eun ran towards the entrance of the sanctuary.
I thought I would be able to get to the entrance of the sanctuary without any problems since there were no hordes of demon beasts covering the streets and the Heavenly Demons were being held by warriors of the dragon and beast tribe.
Rumbling!
Black clouds rising from the remains of the building targeted Ojin.
“Mr. Ojin!”
Isabella shouted urgently and stretched out her hand.
Her palm split open and the red blood that spurted out hit the black cloud shooting towards Ojin.
Grumbling.
The black clouds covered in blood dispersed like fog.
“This is….”
“It’s a cloud of black sky.”
“Isn’t the Heavenly Demon currently being held by Mr. Riak?”
“You’re fighting Riak and spreading the clouds of the Black Sky at the same time.”
The Heavenly Demon must know that Ojin and his party are running away toward the sanctuary, so they plan to cover the road leading there with a cloud of black heaven.
‘damn.’
It wasn’t just Ojin and his group that the Black Sky Cloud was targeting.
“Ahh! “What is this again?!”
“Please save me!!”
The clouds of the dark sky were mercilessly attacking and devouring even the awakened people who were fighting against the demonic beast group.
“Don’t be agitated and fight! The formation must not be broken!”
From a distance, Alina could be seen giving instructions to the awakened people.
Alina, who spotted Ojin and his group running away, approached them with her silver hair waving.
“Did you fail to kill Moebius?”
“No, that was a success.”
“Then what is this…”
“There is no time to explain. “Alina, please lead your army and retreat to the sanctuary.”
“Shh… I understand.”
The black cloud spewed out by the Heavenly Demon instantly began to spread throughout Rome, like black ink sprinkled on a puddle of water.
“Maintain the formation and retreat slowly!”
At Alina’s shout, the awakened people turned in the direction of the entrance to the sanctuary.
but.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Aaaahhh!”
“How are we supposed to stop this?!”
“Come on, you’re going to get eaten!”
The amount was completely different from the black clouds emitted by Moebius.
The black clouds spread hundreds and thousands of meters and engulfed the awakened people like a tidal wave.
“Ugh!”
Ojin desperately tried to drive away the clouds of the dark sky by emitting thunderbolts.
It was impossible to stop the black clouds pouring down like a tidal wave while I was so exhausted that I could barely control myself.
“haha!”
The spear I was holding was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
As if he had fallen into a swamp, his steps became slow and his already tattered magic circuit screamed in pain.
I felt pain as if I was being stabbed with a knife from the stigmata carved into my left chest.
‘No more…’
It was difficult to even take a step from this place, let alone the entrance to the sanctuary.
While I was breathing heavily and desperately trying to cut down the incoming clouds of black sky.
“Ojina. “Just stay still for a moment.”
Ha-eun approached Oh-jin.
As I hugged Ojin closely, the dark clouds that had been rushing fiercely stopped moving for an instant.
Ha-eun nodded, her eyes shining.
“also.”
“…What happened?”
“You haven’t approached me since a while ago.”
The reason why the clouds of the dark sky do not show their ferocious teeth only to Ha-eun.
It wasn’t difficult to guess why.
‘I don’t know about anyone else, but there’s no way I would lay a hand on my sister.’
Even if we have had different fates.
The starting point of Cheonma and Ojin was the same.
The rooftop of an old and shabby orphanage.
When she set foot in the insignificant secret base.
Because his life has begun.
‘Even if my sister has completely forgotten the memory of when we first met on the rooftop.’
There was no way the Heavenly Demon could have forgotten that memory.
‘Because you were me.’
Oh Jin added strength to the arms holding Ha Eun.
Even if the dark clouds don’t attack, it’s only Ha-eun.
Even now, the screams of the awakened people who had been swallowed up by the clouds of the Black Sky were echoing endlessly from all directions.
I had to escape to the sanctuary as quickly as possible.
“Ojina. “Get on your back.”
“Put him on his back? “To my sister?”
“Is there any other way than that?”
“But…”
He hesitated at the fact that he would have to run away while carrying the person he was supposed to protect.
“Don’t be stubborn and get on your back quickly.”
“…Okay. okay.”
Even though the time was running fast, I couldn’t be stubborn and slow down my steps.
“Please.”
“Phew. Oh my baby. “You’ve grown a lot since I haven’t seen you in a while.”
Ha-eun, carrying Oh-jin on her back, burst into laughter and patted his butt.
“sister.”
“I know, Sasha. “I’m going to stop playing around, so hold on tight so you don’t fall off?”
Ha-eun, carrying Oh-jin on her back, kicked her feet toward the entrance to the sanctuary.
“We’re almost there!”
Cassia created a shadow and removed the black clouds blocking the way, and Isabella cut down the remains of the buildings blocking the way with a blood-red scythe.
“sister! hurry!”
“okay!”
That’s how we arrived at the entrance to the sanctuary.
In a city covered in ash and smoke, Ojin and his group kicked their way toward the crack that maintained a beautiful blue color.
and.
Quad deud deud deuk!
Before Ojin and his group entered the entrance to the sanctuary.
Soaring black clouds surrounded the entrance to the sanctuary.
A terrifying shock shook the surroundings along with a loud noise.
“Aaaah!”
“I’m crazy!”
In the place where the shock swept past, the entrance to the sanctuary was seen, twisted like crumpled paper.
“Oh, no!”
Isabella hurriedly approached the entrance to the sanctuary and put her hand inside.
Isabella’s arm slips backwards through the twisted crack.
“The entrance to the western sanctuary… is damaged.”
Isabella turned her head with a pale expression.
The entrance to the sanctuary, which could have been the only way out, disappeared.
“You’re broken? So what do we do now? “Isn’t this the only entrance to the sanctuary in Rome?”
“That…”
“….”
A cold silence fell between the group.
As Ha-eun said, there was only one entrance to the sanctuary in Rome.
Of course, there were several other entrances to the sanctuary throughout Italy, but the nearest entrance was over a hundred kilometers away.
in other words.
“…Damn it.”
The escape route was completely blocked.
“What about running away from the city?”
“It will be difficult.”
Isabella shook her head darkly.
A dark cloud had already spread not only around the entrance to the sanctuary but also throughout Rome.
Now that my mana was almost depleted, there was no way to get out of the city through the black sky clouds.
“If I’m there, you might be able to break through, right?”
Surely, if Ha-eun is safe from the clouds of the dark sky, there might be some way to get out of the city.
“Even if you run out of the city, the Heavenly Demon will catch you in no time.”
Unless it was a sanctuary, there was no reason for the Heavenly Demon to give up the chase.
“Then what now…”
“…Damn it.”
When deep despair appeared on Oh Jin and Ha Eun’s faces.
“I have a way.”
Cassia stared at the broken crack with deeply sunken eyes.
