“Vega.”
The low voice echoed in the empty temple.
The silver-haired goddess turned around silently, as if she couldn’t hear Ojin’s call.
Jerk.
One step.
Take a step towards her.
[Stop.]
Wooooow!
Silver light burning brightly.
Ojin’s body, which was approaching Vega, stopped tall as if blocked by a transparent wall.
‘sanctuary.’
Oh Jin carefully smoothed the transparent wall blocking his path with his hand.
Pajik, pajik!
Even if I just lightly touched it, I felt a strong repulsion that felt like my palm would be torn apart.
Vega continued speaking in a cold voice without even giving Ojin a glance.
[If you come even one step further than that, you will be seriously injured… .]
“Huh cha.”
Without any hesitation.
Without the slightest hesitation.
I took a big step towards the sanctuary that Vega had opened.
Let’s go, let’s go!
“Wow! “Wow!”
A blue thunderbolt that strikes the entire body.
A tremendous torrent of lightning tore through Ohjin’s body as if he had thrown himself into a fence carrying high-voltage current.
Ojin’s body, already in tatters from the battle with Riak, was violently thrown back.
With a terrible pain, the wound that had not yet healed opened and blood flowed out, soaking the clothes.
[Me, my child!]
A frightened Vega turned and tried to run to where Ojin was, but then he bit his lip and turned back again.
[Didn’t you say that if you come close, you’ll get hurt!]
He shouted in a reproachful tone.
Ojin, who had been thrown away, staggered to his feet.
And then take another step.
I walked towards Vega’s sanctuary.
Let’s go!
When it touched the transparent membrane, it bounced back with strong repulsion.
[Oh, don’t come!]
“… “Vega.”
Ojin stood up, holding down his shaking legs with his hands.
If I used the power of the Black Sky, I would be able to resist Vega’s Sanctuary to some extent, but I didn’t need to.
Suppressing the pain, I took a step closer to her again.
Let’s go!
Blue lightning blazed and Ojin’s body rolled on the floor.
[…] How.]
Vega looked back at Ojin, who was lying in tatters on the floor, and bit his chapped lip.
The image of Ojin being wounded was engraved in my mind and did not disappear.
[How… How can you not listen to your wife like this!]
I looked at him with sad eyes and clenched my fists.
[Didn’t I tell you not to come!]
sick.
Every time I say a word, my heart throbs as if I was being stabbed by an awl.
[Now come… Now you’re saying you have something to talk about!]
I cry out like a cry.
[You deceived your wife! From the beginning, continue!]
From the first time I met him at the gate that day.
Ojin has been deceiving her all along.
He wore a mask to hide the fact that he was the owner of Black Heaven and treated her.
okay.
The image of him she had in her mind.
His appearance that made my heart tremble desperately.
They were all just wearing masks.
[There is nothing more to talk about with you!]
A heart-wrenching sense of betrayal.
The memories she had shared with Oh Jin so far passed through her mind like a panorama.
Memories of the first time I met Ojin.
The sight of him caressing his cheek with a trembling hand and saying that he missed him.
Even the sight of him regretting the future he couldn’t protect and vowing to save the world this time.
Every time I turned a page of memories, I felt like I was going crazy thinking that it was all a lie.

[My wife loves you… .]
Vega chews his lips, unable to continue speaking.
“… … .”
Oh Jin slowly approached her.
In silence, without even making any excuses.
[profit!]
Vega twisted his expression fiercely and stretched out his hand towards Ojin.
Rumbling!
A torrent of blue lightning was fired towards Ojin.
A torrent of lightning with a force that was on a different level from that used in the Demonic World.
The lightning of Jiknyeo’s nature, which can only be expressed in a sanctuary without the restrictions of the law, surged as if it would engulf Ojin.
Coo!
Ojin received the torrent of lightning with his body without even trying to defend himself.
Ojin’s body, which was thrown roughly, landed on the temple wall.
Smoky smoke that burns flesh.
The skin of the whole body was distorted hideously, and the internal organs were cooked by the lightning that had penetrated into the body.
[ah… .]
Vega approached Ojin, who was pinned against the temple wall, with a pale, exhausted expression.
[Why, why didn’t you stop it!]
What I just did was a dangerous attack that could have cost me my life.
Even if it was a misdiagnosis, there’s no way they wouldn’t have known.
why.
“… … .”
Ojin didn’t respond and stood up, holding his spear like a cane.
“Cough!”
Black, dead blood poured down my throat.
Pieces of charred internal organs were mixed with blood and rolled around on the floor.
‘ah.’
This could really kill me.
As if it wasn’t called the constellation of the North Star for nothing, Vega’s power, free from restrictions, was nothing short of amazing.
‘still.’
Another step.
He approaches her.
I bounced off the sanctuary blocking my path and rolled on the floor again.
“Ah, ugh.”
I don’t even have the strength to stand up anymore.
Taang!
He raised his trembling arm and fired the wire shooter into the ceiling.
I stood up, dangling from the wire like a doll tied by strings.
[Stop.]
Vega hesitates and takes a step back.
Ojin grabbed his fading consciousness and took a step closer to her again.
His wire-bound body moved closer, step by step, toward the sanctuary.
When I was blocked in the sanctuary again and tried to escape.
[stop! Stop it now!]
Her screaming voice echoed throughout the temple.
[Yes, you said there was something you wanted to say to your wife, right? Please tell me!]
What did he want to say even though he was in tatters like that?
Vega glared at Ojin with fiercely opened eyes.
“… … .”
Ojin slowly raised his head.
He moved his blood-soaked lips with difficulty and opened his mouth as if squeezing it.
“Sorry.”
With a waning smile, I took one step closer to her.
“I’ve been lying to you… Sorry.”
I know that this isn’t something that can be solved by apologizing.
I don’t even think I can be forgiven for deceiving her.
but.
Still, I wanted to say it.
I thought I had to say it.
[Well, are you just saying you’re sorry for being like that?]
Vega looked at Ojin with a puzzled expression.
A body torn by fingernails, scorched by lightning, and in tatters.
Even though I was hurt so badly that it wouldn’t be surprising if I died right away, the only thing I wanted to say was that I was sorry.
“huh.”
Oh Jin nodded with a somewhat relieved expression.
As if there was nothing more to say.
[this… .]
Vega furrowed her pretty eyebrows and raised her arms.
[Hey, you idiot!]
Wow!
He slapped Oh Jin on the cheek and grabbed his collar roughly.
[There must be a reason why he deceived his wife!]
“… … .”
[Try any excuse! At least try to say that it wasn’t because you wanted to, that you couldn’t help it!]
A faintly trembling voice.
A transparent tear flowed down Vega’s cheek.
[why… Why aren’t you saying anything?]
The hand holding Ojin’s collar loosened its strength.
Vega collapsed into her seat and shed tears.
[Huh… Black.]
When I first realized that I had been deceived by him.
When I realized that everything I had seen of him so far was a lie.
Because of the overwhelming sense of betrayal, I swore I would never see him again.
[so… So they even closed the temple door… .]
Just like my life before I met him.
I spent time in a temple with no one around.
Without meeting anyone.
Without talking to anyone.
As always.
alone.
[With that… I thought it was okay.]
At most, I’ve returned to the life I had a few years ago.
All I had to do was think of my meeting with Oh Jin as a lie, as he said.
It was all an illusion and fake.
Life alone must be much more familiar to her.
[Your appearance… It kept coming to mind.]
The image of misdiagnosis engraved in my mind like a stigma did not go away no matter what I did.
Rather, it continued to become clearer as time passed.
[So when you came… She opened her door without her knowledge.]
Vega smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her shoulders.
When he realized that Ojin had arrived in front of the temple to meet him.
When I carefully knocked on the temple door.
Despite Riak’s warning not to open the door, he immediately opened the door to the temple.
[Whoa. really… What a foolish woman. Even though she was so deceived… She can’t give up on you.]
Vega smiled lonely and held the hand of Ojin, who was keeping his mouth shut.
I swore I would never see him again or even talk to him.
I knew from the beginning that it was impossible.
Oh Jin has already become like a thorn in her life that cannot be removed.
[please… Please say something.]
He held Ojin’s hands together and spoke as if pleading.
Why has he been lying to himself all this time?
It doesn’t matter what the reason is.
[Let me just say that I had no choice… .]
“no.”
Ojin, who had kept his mouth shut, slowly shook his head.
You couldn’t help it?
Even if it was possible at first because I didn’t know anything about Vega, it was different later.
“It wasn’t something that could be helped.”
There would have been plenty of opportunities to talk.
If it were Vega, he would have trusted me whether he had the Black Sky or not.
The reason I couldn’t say anything until now was simply because I was a coward.
[…] … .]
Vega’s expression hardened.
She turned her head with bitter eyes.
[You are so foolish too.]
Didn’t he go so far as to say that he had already opened the door to the temple?
[It’s okay to lie, so if you said that, the woman would have believed what you said… .]
“no.”
Ojin continued speaking as he placed his hand on Vega’s shoulder.
“I don’t lie anymore.”
I didn’t come to her to make lame excuses.
“You said you couldn’t give up, right?”
I carefully grabbed the chin of Vega, who was avoiding eye contact with her head turned.
“So do i.”
He pulled Vega’s chin and placed his lips on her mouth.
