「Live in the present. Accept your desires.」
The moment the guy's finger touched my forehead, my body suddenly felt heavy, as if I were sinking slowly into the deep sea.
An abyss with no end in sight. The discomfort of not being able to move a single fingertip. Breath blocked as if being strangled.
Frowning at that unavoidable unpleasantness, I soon closed my eyes.
「Live in the present. Accept your desires.」
How far will I sink. How long will this unpleasantness last.
After a time neither long nor short passed, I open my eyes again.
「Live in the present. Accept your desires.」
Then, I was no longer in the deep sea with no end in sight.
Under a sunny sky without a single cloud, a place with flower beds where flowers were blooming moderately, where some children were running and playing, looking like a park or a kindergarten.
[Dream Light Orphanage]
Why am I here. Why is this place different from what I knew.
The scenario? That guy? What happened to the party members?
"…Is this, a hallucination."
Right. It must be.
Before consciousness was cut off for a moment, the skills of that guy that appeared in the notification window.
It must be that I fell into this kind of hallucination due to those skills.
Then there is only one thing to do now. Get out of this lousy hallucination and find that guy and kill—
"Yo, what are you doing? Spacing out stupidly over there."
"…?"
At that moment, before the thought was completely finished, a voice of a man heard and the smell of cigarettes piercing the nose spreading around.
At that unforgettable combination, I turned back inadvertently expecting that person.
And that expectation.
"What, this bastard. Why are you looking at a person with such eyes? Creepy."
"…Di, rector."
"Yeah, right, it's me. So what?"
Whether unfortunate or fortunate. Met my expectation.
-Kwa-ga-ga-gak—!!
"Kugh…!! Lycaon-ssi! Take Yoosung and run far away immediately!"
"Wait! Oppa, Oppaaaa—!!"
Replica of Mikazuki Munechika.
An A-grade sword obtained from the Theater Dungeon, and a sword Jung Heewon is currently using usefully.
Of course, since it was only the seventh scenario, the sword looked shabby considering the overall factors, but it was by no means weak equipment in the current scenario.
However.
-Tremble tremble…!!
"…This, might break if I make a mistake."
Blade trembling violently.
Jung Heewon calmed it down briefly and took a combat stance again.
And then—
"Don't resent me. Because this is the only way I can do."
-Fwoosh—!!
Pure white flames burning evil and.
[Incarnation 'Jung Heewon' activates exclusive skill 'Hour of Judgment'.]
[A majority of Constellations of the Absolute Good alignment agree to the use of the skill.]
[One Constellation of the Absolute Good alignment hesitates and soon agrees to the use of the skill.]
['Hour of Judgment' has been activated.]
Revealed the will to eradicate evil, to cut down evil.
"I'll support you!"
At that moment, behind Jung Heewon who was about to swing her sword exuding a blood-red aura all over her body, several strands of threads raided the man in front of her.
However, the one in front was not a man easy enough to be easily hit by that attack.
Rather—
"Piercing Ox (Kanyu/貫牛)."
—Unless it's someone threatening the opponent's neck conversely.
-Whooosh…!!
Along with the man's hand movement, a cow rising from the shadow kicked briefly and moved forward as is.
At that moment, Yoo Sangah's threads, which had brutally crushed and cut enemies, were cut futilely with a snap-, and approached right in front of Jung Heewon's nose in the blink of an eye.
-Kwa-a-a-ang—!!
Piercing Ox.
One of his nine Shikigami that can only rush straight due to a Binding Vow, but its speed increases in proportion to the rushing distance, possessing powerful destructive power accordingly.
If the opponent were another Incarnation, Piercing Ox's horn would have pierced the opponent's abdomen miserably and slammed them into the building as is.
Right.
"…Geez. A cow with immensely strong power."
If the opponent wasn't Jung Heewon.
-Fwoosh—!!
Her potential, which blossomed in the baptism of blood of countless villains, was enough to rival Yoo Joonghyuk, and if the opponent is a villain, there would be few who could chase her.
And just in time, the one she is currently dealing with was a villain against whom she could display all her combat power.
"But, if that's all, you will really die."
"…."
As Jung Heewon swung her sword once with red eyes shining, pure white flames followed the sword path she thrust.
But regrettably, there was no feeling of hitting.
It must be because he quickly withdrew it into his shadow, confirming he was pushed back in power.
"Max Elephant (Bansho/滿象), Nue (Nue/鵺)."
Following the large black cow were an elephant of matching size and a grotesque bird wearing a mask.
Thinking he intends to take the upper hand in the air if land doesn't work, at that moment arising in Yoo Sangah and Jung Heewon's minds.
"Rabbit Escape (Datto/脫兎)."
He pulled out hundreds of countless rabbits and spread them around.
Why? Why on earth? For what purpose did he pull out Rabbit Escape now? Simply for confusion?
Rabbit Escape is a Shikigami not very useful in combat.
Jung Heewon and Yoo Sangah knew that fact too, but Kang Yuhyeon, he knew it best.
Therefore, when he pulls out Rabbit Escape, it's to search for enemie—
"…Don't tell me?"
Why did they forget.
After he was hit by the mental attack, whom did he try to kill first. Whom was he focusing his gaze on.
Shin Yoosung. It was exactly that child.
But at that moment, a question arising simultaneously.
'Why is Kang Yuhyeon trying to target Shin Yoosung.'
Is there a benefit from her? Or was their relationship not very good from the beginning?
…Don't know. Can't know well. For now, rather than such thoughts.
-Pwuoooo!
-Kieeeek—!!
They were busy dealing with the torrent and lightning covering them.
-Crunch…!!
Jung Heewon, pouring all her Magic Power into her legs instantly, leaped forward towards the building wall.
'If the floor doesn't work, ride the building wall…!!'
It was an ignorant plan beyond measure, but Jung Heewon's overwhelming physique presented that plan as the most ideal one.
Max Elephant and Nue attacked, realizing belatedly that Jung Heewon moved her body there.
In other words, if this attack is allowed, suppressing him would be smooth sailing—
-Crack.
—Thinking so was already within Kang Yuhyeon's expected range.
"Great Serpent (Orochi/大蛇)."
"…!!"
The wall surface Jung Heewon was stepping on broke shattering numerous glass windows, and a huge snake opened its jaws wide from within.
But definitely, his Ten Shadows Technique summons Shikigami from his shadow. Even if summoned, she couldn't have missed seeing this huge Shikigami being summoned.
-Croak….
At that moment, a toad's cry echoed eerily and struck her ears.
'…Don't tell me, summoned the snake inside the toad's mouth already and moved the toad separately inside that building?'
It was so absurd that laughter almost came out.
How far ahead was that man looking and planning.
When the defeat she was inwardly ignoring revealed itself slowly trying to change the atmosphere of the battlefield.
"Heewon-ssi!"
Yoo Sangah, who was walking in the sky through [Hermes' Walking Method] before anyone knew, wrapped Jung Heewon's body using [Arachne's Web].
And then—
"Get ready!"
"…!!"
—Threw her towards him quickly with a signal.
-Whooosh!!
At the unknown pleasure derived from the tremendous speed cutting through the air, Jung Heewon smacked her lips and dyed the blade pure white.
Hell Flames Ignition.
Because the pure white flames destroying evil were condensed on the blade according to her will.
-Fwoosh—!!
The feast of flames spreading out in one heavy swing she wielded was splendid like a scene in a cartoon, but the power contained in it was overwhelming, befitting when dealing with Shin Yoosung who was the Disaster of Floods.
Of course, even that.
"Mourning Tiger (Koso/虎葬)."
—If it reached, that is.
[The Constellation, 'Demonic Judge of Fire', is flustered by the above phenomenon!]
A beast appeared from his shadow.
As that beast roared briefly, all the Hell Flames Ignition heading towards him scattered and disappeared.
"This crazy. Cheating should be done in moderation…."
When the flames to destroy evil couldn't destroy evil and scattered slowly like glass fragments, Jung Heewon couldn't help but curse.
The person in front of her was different from other Incarnations, like Kim Dokja or Yoo Joonghyuk.
Swinging the sword, and every time she swings, fighting spirit is lost. Doubt whether she can really win slowly rises and encroaches on her whole body.
However.
[Incarnation 'Jung Heewon' activates Skill 'Demon Slaying Lv.7'!]
That didn't mean she let go of the sword.
-Seo-geok—!!
Red-dyed eyes and madness dormant deep in her heart. And the strong will to destroy evil created synergy and cut his chest greatly.
Slowly a thin line appeared on the path the sword passed, and soon bright red blood spurting out.
While inwardly admiring 'This person's blood was red too', she wiped the blood splashed on her face and grabbed the sword again.
At that moment, Jung Heewon notices.
-Smirk….
That she was smiling before she knew it.
"…Haha. Fascinating."
The day she held the sword again. The day she cut someone down. And the day she swore to become the sword of a certain man.
Since that day, she swung her sword with the mind that she would not lose at least to the enemies blocking that man's path.
However, in those moments, such a smile was never made.
Because responsibility rather than pleasure, conviction rather than joy went ahead more.
But…, how about now?
-Clench…!!
Even though she is swinging her sword entranced like this, the enemy doesn't fall.
It's a dangerous situation like riding a tightrope without any protective gear, but for some reason, her mood and emotions keep rising.
Will she be able to have such an experience again in the future.
[The madness inherent in Incarnation 'Jung Heewon' deepens.]
No, never again. And shouldn't be.
Therefore.
-Fwoosh…!!
She will bet everything on this moment.
And—
"Round Deer (Madoka/円鹿)."
-Hwaaaaa…!!
—She wasn't the only one trying to do her best.
