Star of Reverse Heaven (1)
“at las… .”
In front of the entrance, Oh Jin had tears in his eyes with an expression full of emotion.
The entire time I brought Isabella from Pyongyang, I had to deal with a fierce war of nerves between the two sisters, so even though I wasn’t gone for that long, the front door of the house couldn’t have felt more welcoming.
“… yes. “Please do that, Roberto.”
Isabella, who had been following Roberto on the phone, hung up and sighed deeply.
“What did Roberto say?”
“I barely managed to stop them from saying they were going to increase the number of security guards tenfold right now.”
It was a natural reaction, considering how embarrassed Roberto, who was usually polite, was at the news of Isabella’s kidnapping.
“what… Honestly, increasing the number of security guards would be meaningless.”
“Yes.”
The opponent was the constellation Ophiuchus, which was once powerful enough to be compared to the North Star.
It would be meaningless whether the number of security guards was increased tenfold or a hundredfold.
‘There’s no need to go to Mobius, just Isabella will be enough to wipe them out.’
What good would a security guard weaker than Isabella herself be of any use?
“So, I just asked you to provide as much compensation as possible to the families of the crew members and bodyguards who died this time.”
Isabella sighed with a somewhat dark expression, probably thinking of the people who were on the same plane.
Even if Isabella was released from Moebius’s hands without a scratch, the others were not.
They were already brutally murdered by Mobius even before the plane crashed in Pyongyang.
“Don’t worry too much about it.”
“… “Yes, I know.”
Isabella nodded with a faint smile as Ojin’s hand stroked her head.
This time, all of the people who boarded the Colgrande family’s private plane were those who had pledged to sacrifice their lives for the Colgrande family.
In the first place, it was inevitable that casualties would occur during security missions.
For the woman who carried the name of Colgrande, such casualties were familiar.
“Still, I don’t feel comfortable.”
When I thought about the people who died in vain at the hands of Moebius, I felt frustrated, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on my heart.
“Our Bella still has a naive side.”
Cassia smiled and brushed her long platinum-blonde hair.
“How could you properly lead the Colgrande family if you were so shaken by every bodyguard dying?”
“joy. Don’t you know that the better a leader is, the more important he is to the lives of his subordinates? Ah, indeed. “Her older sister was banished from her family, so there’s no way she would know?”
“Oh my, isn’t that what a leader who cut off blood without thinking and then lost his subordinate without even trying would say?”
Isabella and Cassia glared at each other with murderous eyes.
“Now that we’re home, you both stop.”
Oh Jin shook his head as if he had a headache and opened the front door.
After the fight while holding the head of one’s head, the atmosphere between the two changed and I expected that their relationship would become slightly better as before, but things like that in shonen cartoons did not easily happen.
“Sister, I’m here.”
As soon as I got home, I immediately looked for Ha-eun.
“hmm?”
Ha-eun was nowhere to be seen.
Feeling anxious that Ha-eun might have been kidnapped after Isabella, I urgently searched for a communication relic that was directly connected to Ha-eun.
Wooooow.
Unlike a smartphone, a relic that allows communication even when inside the gate emits light.
-uh? what’s the matter?
A hologram emerged from the communication relic and Ha-eun was seen with her eyes wide open.
Oh Jin let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth.
“Where are you now, sister?”
-I am a sanctuary.
“Why the sanctuary?”
-No, I heard you were with Bella today, so I came here to have a snack with the lady because I was bored.
-Who is this lady?
Beyond the hologram, Vega was seen with an angry expression.
In her hand was a beer can that Ha-eun seemed to have taken with her.
-Oh, of course. Considering your age, is it right to call you grandma?
-Didn’t I tell you not to talk about my age?
-Hehe, just kidding. Don’t be upset, my constellation.
-joy. I don’t remember having an apostle like you.
Ha-eun is peacefully chatting with Vega.
‘Didn’t you hear that Isabella was kidnapped?’
but.
If he had been at the sanctuary since Oh Jin came to pick him up at the airport, Roberto would have had no means of contacting Ha Eun as he did not have a communication relic that could connect him directly with her.
-Anyway, why is he at my house again?
Ha-eun narrowed her eyes as she looked at Cassia, who was standing behind Ojin.
No matter how much she was being controlled by the Heavenly Demon at the time, she could not look kindly on Cassia, who killed Tamrangseong, who had once taught her how to deal with stigmata.
Cassia stepped in front of Ojin and bowed her head politely.
“This is my first time greeting you formally like this. “My name is Cassia Colgrande.”
-uh… huh.
Ha-eun nodded with an awkward expression.

“I still deeply regret the things I did when I was under the control of the Heavenly Demon. “I’m sorry for harming your teacher, Ha-eun.”
-Well, because it wasn’t your will.
It was not difficult to guess just how strong the Heavenly Demon’s control was just by looking at Cassia and Isabella, who were complaining of pain when they escaped from Niflheim.
Of course, even if I understood it intellectually, I couldn’t leave behind any feelings.
Still, all responsibility could not be placed on her, who had been brainwashed and was close to being a tool of the Heavenly Demon at the time.
If Cassia was a sword, the one who held the hilt and swung it was Cheonma.
-Anyway, what’s going on at my house?
“I decided to stop by for some reason.”
-circumstances? Did something happen?
“hmm… “I will tell you in detail when I return from the sanctuary.”
It was too long-winded to explain the story of Isabella’s kidnapping through video communication.
-Uh, okay. Then go back and listen later.
“yes. “Please take care of me in the future, Ha-eun.”
-ok? from now on?
“Hehe. it’s nothing.”
Cassia steps back with a bright smile.
Ha-eun looked at Cassia walking away, feeling an ominous feeling for some reason.
Oh Jin cleared his throat and stepped forward.
“When will your sister come?”
-uh… ? Oh, I’ll just wait a little longer and then go. Our constellation must have been bored alone, so we kept getting stuck together.
-Who are you saying is stuck?
-Well, I’ll contact you later when I get back.
“ok.”
Communication was cut off with a loud noise.
“… “But I’m glad you understand.”
Was he keeping the incident of killing Cheon Sang-gil in his mind?
Cassia sighed in relief and stroked her chest.
“I told you in advance that it wasn’t your will.”
“Thank you, Ojin.”
“by the way… “I have something to ask you about Moebius.”
He continued, recalling the constellation with ominous shining emerald eyes.
“Do you know what the ‘purpose’ Moebius was talking about?”
A purpose that I heard even in Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.
Of course, I didn’t know whether my previous life’s purpose and my current purpose would be the same.
I wondered what his purpose was to be like the Heavenly Demon.
“no. “I don’t know about his purpose either.”
“okay?”
“All I know is… “It’s just that I hate the Constellations so much.”
“You hate the constellations so much?”
“yes.”
Cassia nodded.
“Hmm.”
It was difficult to guess Mobius’ purpose just because he disliked constellations.
Just like Anceladus, the ‘satellites’ who were expelled from the sanctuary in the first place had a fundamental antipathy toward the constellations.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
“No, whatever. “I can’t help it.”
Cassia continued speaking with a self-deprecating smile.
“Actually, I don’t know much about Mobius. Although he received the stigmata of the Serpent… “He was not recognized as his ‘child.’”
“You weren’t recognized as a child?”
Ohjin tilted his head with an expression of incomprehension.
Basically, the Constellations called the human who shared their stigmata ‘child’.
Of course, only the name was the same, but the attitude toward the ‘child’ was different for each constellation.
“yes. “There was only one person he called his ‘child.’”
So, does that mean there are other Ophiuchus awakened people besides Cassia?
“who?”
“I don’t know much about her other than her name is ‘Eve’.”
The name of the awakened person who received the stigmata of Ophiuchus is Eve.
Naturally, a scene from the Bible came to mind.
“Hmm. “Have you ever met that awakened person called Eve?”
“no. Even if I want to meet you, I can’t.”
“You mean we can’t meet?”
“I heard he died a long time ago.”
ah.
A low exclamation flowed from between Ojin’s lips.
“I heard that that awakened person was the first awakened person to receive the stigmata of Ophiuchus.”
“So you’re saying that Eve doesn’t recognize anyone other than the awakened person as her ‘child’?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
“… “That’s right.”
It would have been nice to have more information about the awakened person called Eve.
Oh Jin soothed his regrets and gave up thinking about Moebius.
There was something more important than Mobius’ purpose right now.
‘This makes it clear that the black star constellations are moving in earnest on Earth.’
It’s not just Anceladus and Moebius.
Other black star constellations, including Felice, the constellation of Cat constellation that we encountered in the Demonic Scene, would have also appeared on Earth.
‘I need to get stronger faster.’
At the current speed, there was no way.
Faster and more reliably.
I needed a way to build up strength.
‘First of all, you need to get used to it from the start.’
A thin sanctuary spread around the body was not enough.
Only when we can develop a sanctuary powerful enough to change the surrounding environment, like the ‘Dragon Palace’ used by Anceladus, will we be able to engage in a proper battle with the Black Star Constellations.
‘In order to do that.’
Ojin’s eyes turned to Isabella and Cassia.
“I want to ask you two something.”
“Please speak, Mr. Ohjin.”
“Hehe. “Is it okay if I give you an order rather than a request?”
The two women nodded willingly without even listening to what was being asked.
“Help me practice my sanctuary.”
“Umm… What kind of help are you talking about specifically?”
“First, please start with a simple sparring.”
In order to properly practice sanctuary, an awakened person was needed who was strong enough to pierce the ‘sanctuary’ of the constellation.
“Hehe. Oh Jin, I would be happy to help you. “Then would you like me to deal with you first?”
“No, I’ll deal with both at the same time.”
In order to deal with the Constellation, I needed to learn how to use the Sanctuary as quickly as possible, so I couldn’t do regular training like I had done so far.
‘It would be impossible to deal with Isabella and Cassia at the same time without using Gaecheon.’
Since it was impossible, I needed to push myself even harder.
“Oh my, at the same time… “You have good strength~”
Cassia’s cheeks turned red and she twisted her body like a snake.
“… … .”
Why is he like this again?
