A hot feeling rose up in my throat again. Sehyun couldn’t hold back and spit out a handful of blood. His whole body was painful and aching, as if he had been hacked to pieces. During the pain, my vision often changed completely. The image of Baek Do-hyeon covering Lee Jae-young’s eyes and Lee Jae-young slamming his huge weapon down on ‘Beusbryhel’ with all his might went back and forth several times.
When the two scenes overlapped as if in resonance, the world turned pitch black. That was Baek Do-hyun’s <Dominance Sensitivity> skill.
Kkkkkk-
A shrieking scream came out from the mouth of ‘Beusbrihel’. It was a roar that collapsed mountains and split the ground. But the roar soon stopped. ‘Beusbrihel’ stiffened, as if he had been caught and crushed by something.
Only the bright red heart fluttering inside the excavated chest of ‘Beusbrihel’ repeatedly contracted and expanded to a frightening degree. It was as if it was crying out for help.
Baek Do-hyeon could hold ‘Beusbrihel’ for only a few seconds at most. The weapon was already moving towards the heart of ‘Beusbrihel’ at an incredible speed. Everyone clenched their jaws and opened their eyes, wishing for the end.
Wedge-
A faint crackling sound was heard. Immediately afterwards, a sound like sharp metal clashing rang out across the world like a wail. Sehyun clenched his fists and counted the seconds.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… .
However, as the 4-second boundary reached, a cough mixed with bloody phlegm and the sound of something pouring were heard. Jaeyoung Lee’s weapon was just before it pierced the heart of ‘Beusbrihel’.
At that moment, Sehyeon felt fear. Baek Do-hyun was seen falling to the floor, bleeding. His distorted face was full of pain.
‘Jaeyoung-!!’
It’s not too late. Sehyun shouted sharply at Jaeyoung Lee. The tip of the weapon that penetrated the membrane touched my heart, and the sound of something being stuck rang out. Blood flowed between Lee Jae-young’s teeth and dripped onto the floor.
Lee Jae-young’s pain was transferred to Se-hyeon and everyone with whom the mental body was connected. All he could do was gasp from the pain of his brain being torn open. There was no scream.
At best, I was only feeling part of the pain Jaeyoung Lee was going through, but that was it. When I looked in front of him, his body covered in cold sweat, I saw the back of Lee Jae-young, sitting down and sobbing.
Jaeyoung Lee was in pain. He was crying. He was blaming himself.
‘Jaeyoung… ah.’
why… I’m sure it would have been pierced. But why… .
Se-hyeon lifted her shaking gaze and looked beyond Jae-young Lee, who was crying loudly. I could see my beating heart and arms. The weapon clearly touched the heart. A piece of flesh fell down from somewhere. They were all Jaeyoung Lee’s monsters that had been crushed and exploded. Between them, I could see Jaeyoung Lee’s arm disappearing without a shape.
Only then did I realize it. The reason why Jaeyoung Lee is crying so sadly.
The weapon touched the heart of ‘Beusbrihel’, but did not receive enough strength to reach the inside of the heart. Barely, he was stuck as if draped around it. In the end, he failed to pierce the heart.
Lee Jae-young’s sorrowful cries announced that there were no second chances. Lee Jae-young’s rotting body no longer had the strength to move.
Visibility began to decrease. Lee Jae-young’s fused body was slowly being crushed. The weapon was still stuck in ‘Beusbrihel’s chest and did not move.
‘Jaeyoung, avoid it!!’
Tyra’s screeching voice passed through my mind. As soon as he finished speaking, ‘Beusbrihel’s arm stretched out and grabbed Lee Jae-young’s tilting head. Lee Jae-young’s screams rang out loud.
Sehyun staggered towards Jaeyoung Lee. And he hugged Jaeyoung Lee tightly. Lee Jae-young, who was tearing out his head, struggled fiercely.
‘Beusbrihel’ tilted his head and quietly looked down at Jaeyoung Lee. I was almost suffocated by the pure murder and madness shimmering in the red eyes.
The moment a light appeared in his maddened eyes, ‘Beusbrihel’s’ mouth opened stiffly. The mouth stretched up and down until it was huge enough to swallow everything. It seemed as if the vortex that had formed inside it would suck Jaeyoung Lee in at any moment.
‘… Avoid, avoid… to do… .’
had to be avoided. However, the stiff body did not move at all. Sehyun chewed her molars and hugged Jaeyoung Lee tightly. A red light formed inside ‘Beusbrihel’s mouth.
It was an explosive light. The light was so bright that it was blinding, and it smelled dangerous enough to foretell death. But then, Sehyeon’s body was roughly pushed back with a dull sound. In the distance I could see, there was Lee Jae-young, who had pushed me. Lee Jae-young, who pushed his solar plexus hard enough to make a pop sound, blocked the shimmering red light alone. Jaeyoung Lee’s red eyes were clearly visible as he turned around.
Before he could even stretch out his hand, Sehyeon was thrown out of Lee Jaeyoung’s mental body. The same was true for Tyra and Baek Do-hyeon. The last thing I heard was Jaeyoung Lee’s terrible screams.
“Ha, ha… !”
The world had turned upside down several times and when I opened my eyes, everyone had returned to the cold airship. As soon as he came out of Lee Jae-young’s mental body, Se-hyeon grabbed his breath and squeezed his chest. He clearly heard Jaeyoung Lee’s screams.
Se-hyeon groped the floor and found Jae-young Lee. But before that, the red light passing through the world covered my vision.
“Everyone hold on tight!!”
As the airship crashed in half due to the breath, Se-hyeon managed to grab Lee Jae-young, who was struggling and tearing out his head, and pulled him into her arms. And I curled up in preparation for the impact.
Huge explosions were heard from all over the airship’s hull. Every time the ship tilted significantly, Se-hyeon hit the outer wall and crushed his entire body. It was enough to make his bones tingle.
In the distance, Tyra, who was holding onto Baek Do-hyun, who had lost consciousness, was barely holding on to the railing with one arm and enduring the vibrations of the airship. However, soon one side of the airship began to crack violently and was driven by the wind toward the outer wall.
My vision went black for a long time, and when I came back to life, everything stopped.
My vision will turn red as I blink. The sticky blood flowing down her forehead colored her eyes with a single color. My lungs felt like they were going to be torn apart, and there was terrible pain in my ribs and back.
In the area of view, there was a grotesquely broken ceiling that looked as if it had been torn apart. The dark sky visible through the gap brought a cold wind.
“Ha, ha… .”
The weight of Lee Jae-young pressing on his chest was like a stone the size of a house. Sehyun stretched out her trembling hand towards Jaeyoung Lee.
Jaeyoung. I wanted to sing, but I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth. Sehyun used all his strength to soothe her mouth again. The only sound was the sound of the wind mixed with the sound of metal. The sound of breathing coming from Jaeyoung Lee was extremely faint, as if it would go out at any moment.
“re… zero… ah.”
I called several more times, but there was never an answer. My heart sank. Se-hyeon took a deep breath and touched Lee Jae-young’s damp hair on her chest with a trembling hand. The wet liquid touching his fingertips was frighteningly ominous. Blood was flowing continuously from Jaeyoung Lee’s head.
I felt like my mind was turning pale. She didn’t even know with what spirit she drank the potion and cast <Healing Will>. She couldn’t even see what the text was that appeared tangled before her eyes.
When he came to his senses, Sehyeon was breathing heavily as if he had run. Only the sound of Lee Jae-young’s steady breathing was comforting. Only then did the blood rush to his head and his pale vision return.
The world was still full of blood. I must have hurt my ear, but the world spun every time I moved my head.
“White peach… Mr. Hyeon… . Tira… Seed… .”
The sparkling interior of the airship was dotted with blood stains from unknown owners. The retainers in the cockpit were no longer visible. A crackling, burning sound was heard from somewhere. Sehyeon almost turned his body and looked towards that place.
Baek Do-hyun and Tyra were lying under the sparkling exterior wall. Se-hyeon, who saw Baek Do-hyun’s fingertips moving, moved his body and crawled towards them. However, the moment he stretched out his arm as if scraping the floor, an explosion was heard in the air.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The explosion was taking place behind the armor stuck in the heart of ‘Beusbrihel’. The main culprit of the explosion was Ruhak. It seemed like he was trying to force the weapon into the heart using thrust, but it was no use.
‘Beusbrihel’ stretched out his arm and grabbed the exploding weapon. The distorted vision became clear as if it were expanding.
“not… Okay… .”
Beusbrihel’s hand holding the weapon melted, emitting a foul odor. Nevertheless, ‘Beusbrihel’ did not let go of his weapon. He held the weapon tenaciously and twisted his whole body, bending it to its limits.
‘Beusbrihel’ was about to break his weapon.
“no… !”
Sehyeon shouted at the top of her lungs. His blood poured out, and his stomach twisted all at once. A creepy sound of something bending was heard. The sound of the explosion blocked ‘Beusbrihel’ several times, but even that was of no use.
Despite screaming and screaming, ‘Beusbrihel’ eventually broke its armor.
