Shin Soo-ah didn’t even respond to those words and tried to shake off Seo Kang-rim’s hand.
But she is already a burden to the opponent just by breathing.
Seo Kang-rim opened his mouth as he felt Shin Soo-ah wriggling weakly in his hands.
“It hasn’t even been 30 minutes since the drum was struck. There’s still time until the next drum sound.”
“… … .”
Only after hearing those words did Shin Soo Ah put down her dagger.
The blade rolled across the floor with a clanking sound.
She slowly rolled her eyes and looked at Seo Kang-rim.
“You said you weren’t coming… … .”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t coming. I said I was coming late.”
Seo Kang-rim gave Shin Soo-ah a little more of the recovery medicine.
She tried to shake her head in refusal, but Seo Kang-rim was more stubborn.
When I forced myself to take the medicine, my eyes became a little more sharp.
Seo Kang-rim quickly got to the main point, as if he was about to stab himself as soon as he heard the sound of the drum.
“Why did you do this? If it was Shin Soo-ah, you could have easily defeated her.”
“No. I… … can’t defeat my shadow.”
It was a voice closer to conviction than resignation.
Shin Soo-ah said, staring at him with her tree-like eyes.
“You can understand, Mr. Kangrim. You know what my ability is… … .”
Your own abilities?
Seo Kang-rim hurriedly opened her fortune-telling window.
Only after seeing that could Seo Kang-rim understand her.
While entering the last magical realm, Shin Soo-ah had gained a new ability.
Seo Kang-rim also knew about the ability itself.
It was a supernatural ability that Shin Soo Ah had in her past life.
But the times were different.
It was after she left the educational institution that she gained these abilities in her previous life.
The ability itself wasn’t bad, but the timing wasn’t good.
═══════════════
[Ability] Bloodlust
[Rank] Ghostly Three Ranks

[Ability] The Weight of Karma
[Rank] Shinsampum (God’s Three Grades)
[Description] As karma accumulates, abilities increase.
═══════════════
It was an ability that became stronger the more people it hurt.
It was a similar type of supernatural ability to Seo Kang-rim’s ‘stealing fortune’ or Nam Yu-jun’s ‘murderous impulse’.
These are two abilities that a normal person would happily accept, but Shin Soo-ah was different.
She didn’t use these abilities.
Some people might say that Shin Soo-ah is foolish.
You don’t use the ability to become stronger the more you cut and attack your opponents.
But this ability had both advantages and disadvantages: dependency.
Although they may be rational at first, as time passes, their violence increases.
You start to enjoy hurting people and becoming stronger.
Shin Soo-ah also knew that fact, so she tried not to harm humans as much as possible.
If he were to come into contact with a large amount of human blood, he would lock himself in his room for several days to restrain himself.
Shin Soo-ah spoke in a slow voice, as if she was exhausted.
“I don’t use bloodlust, but my shadow… … is different. With each attack, my shadow grows stronger.”
The shadow only copied Shin Soo Ah’s abilities, and did not take away her beliefs.
Seo Kang-rim knew very well how terrifying the demon who had the ‘urge to shed blood’ was.
Besides, if it was a shadow with Shin Soo-ah’s abilities, most people wouldn’t be able to be hostile to it.
“So… Mr. Seo Kang-rim, please go out quickly with the others.”
“Then what about Shin Soo-ah?”
“That’s something I’ll take care of… … .”
Are you planning to die here?
Seo Kang-rim looked into Shin Soo-ah’s eyes and blamed himself.
Given the changing circumstances, we had to consider the possibility that she might gain her power first.
“… … I’m tired because I talked so much. I’ll sleep a little.”
Shin Soo-ah closed her eyes with a weak voice.
Her thin eyelids were trembling.
He stared at Shin Soo-ah for a moment and then came out of the prison.
“Ah, Master.”
Yoon Bom, who had been waiting outside, suddenly got up from her seat.
There was an expression of guilt somewhere.
Jang Tae-heon was the same.

“I know we shouldn’t have done that. No matter how much you said, I should have stopped you… … .”
But I wouldn’t have been able to stop it.
How can normal people stop a madman?
Instead of reprimanding them, Seo Kang-rim sat down.
“No. Who can stop Shin Soo-ah from being stubborn?”
My head was complicated in many ways, but I couldn’t waste my energy on useless things.
‘I have to get the people out as quickly as possible and then I have to go out too.’
Seo Kang-rim’s shadow, like Shin Soo-ah’s, would become stronger the longer it stayed here.
No, the situation was worse than Shin Soo-ah’s.
Seo Kang-rim fiddled with the belt of the giant sea hanging around his neck.
“Hey, Master!”
At that moment, one door opened and Yun Gyul-woo appeared.
Father John and Dokgo Jun were also there.
Father John approached me urgently, as if he was happy to see me.
“Brother! It’s nice to see you like this.”
“Yes, me too. And you lost this.”
When Seo Kang-rim took the rosary out of his bosom and handed it to him, Father John jumped for joy.
He cherished it and said,
“Thank you so much! I had lost it and was about to give up… … .”
“That’s fortunate.”
“But I’m happier to have met Brother Seo Kang-rim than to have met the rosary! Brother Dokgo Jun came two days ago, and Brother Seo Kang-rim came today.”
“Weren’t you with Dokgo Jun from the beginning?”
At those words, Dokgo Jun smiled brightly and said.
“Yeah. I came in a little late because of the deadline. That’s why the roads diverged.”
Seo Kang-rim stared at him intently.
Apparently, on the day the door opened, Dokgo Jun was nowhere to be seen.
However, they never met while Seo Kang-rim was alone in the educational facility.
‘Did you come in while I was training in the Demon Realm? Something is bothering me… … .’
For some reason, the uneasy feeling just wouldn’t go away.
As Seo Kang-rim remained silent, Father John spoke belatedly and flustered.
“Oh no. I’ll go check on Sister Shin Soo Ah’s condition.”
“I just gave you some restorative medicine, so you’ll be fine.”
“Oh, you’ve already met?”
When he nodded, Father John said nothing more.
There is only a sad light in the two gentle eyes.
Everyone else had similar faces, but Dokgo Jun had his usual expression.
Yoon Bom deliberately raised her voice as if trying to change the mood.
“Now that Master is here and the search team has increased, we’ll be able to find it soon!”
“That would be good, but how strong would Kang-rim’s shadow be…? …. It seems like the shadow is stronger than the main body.”
Jang Tae-heon said with a sigh in his voice.
Yun Gyul-woo, who was listening to the story, tilted his head and asked.
“The shadow is stronger than the body?”
“Yeah. He seems stronger than me. He seems a bit faster too.”
At those words, Yun Gyul-woo still had a puzzled expression on his face.
“I think we’re at a similar level. How was yours?”
“I was similar to you. I didn’t really feel strong… … .”
“But Shin Soo-ah’s shadow is stronger than Shin Soo-ah’s. That’s why I’m weakening it like that.”
“Isn’t it because of the urge to shed blood?”
Seo Kang-rim, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly felt a gaze.
When he looked back, Dokgo Jun was looking at him.
He smiled, wiggling the corners of his eyes as if he found it amusing.
“Seo Kang-rim, you did something cool on your neck.”
He had his collar turned up to cover it, but it seemed to have slipped down during the battle just now.
At those words, the others also stared at Seo Kang-rim’s neck.
All those who discovered the belt of the giant sea belatedly had the same expression on their face.
Yun Gyul-woo stuttered in surprise.
“Master, is there a mole on your neck?”
“okay.”
“Then I’ll die… … !”
“You can leave before then. I’ve only been here for a day.”
Seo Kang-rim was more worried about other people than himself.
The rest of the people had been here for four days, so they didn’t have much time to spare.
There may be no time limit, but no one wants to experience having a part of their body cut off.
‘The next most serious person after me is Dokgo Jun.’
Dokgo Jun had a giant’s belt on both his wrists.
Shin Soo Ah was the left arm.
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul-woo had bands on their ears, Jang Tae-heon had bands on several of his fingers, and Father Yohan had bands on his little finger.
It would be painful to lose a finger or an ear, but it was nothing compared to losing an arm like Shin Soo-ah.
Father John also seemed worried about Shin Soo-ah and glanced toward the prison as he spoke.
“We need to find Sister Shin Soo-ah’s house number and send it out quickly. Do you think we can find it before the end of the week?”
“Don’t worry, Father! We’ll find it. Let’s go look for it again.”
“Yeah, yeah. Other districts might come, so someone needs to stay here and watch over Sister Shin Soo Ah… … .”
It was obvious what would happen if the people in other areas saw the weakened Shin Soo Ah.
Yun Gyeo-wool glanced at Seo Kang-rim and said.
“Master, what if you stand guard? It looks like you’re a little hurt.”
“Yes, Master. Just in case, please stay here.”
Seo Kang-rim nodded without rejecting their suggestion.
There was more I wanted to talk to Shin Soo-ah about.
“I think we need one more person to stay. Who will stay?”
“Oh, Father. I will also stand guard with Kang-rim. I am a little tired.”
Dokgo Jun spoke with a face that did not look tired at all.
A few people looked at him with suspicion, but Father John just smiled.
“Is that so? Then please take care of it, Brother Dokgo Jun.”
“Father, it seems like Dokgo Jun is just making excuses… … .”
Jang Tae-heon also seemed to agree with Yoon Gyul-woo’s words.
But Father John just pushed them away.
“Brother Yun Gyul-woo. You shouldn’t suspect others. Now, let’s quickly go find the badge.”
Father John left the room, leading the people who were still looking at him with suspicion.
Now the only people left at the prison entrance were Seo Kang-rim and Dokgo Jun.
In an instant, silence fell.
Seo Kang-rim spoke without looking at Dokgo Jun, still looking down at the floor.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to choose another location? There would have been no need to keep Shin Soo Ah in prison.”
At those words, Dokgo Jun glanced at Seo Kang Rim and smiled.
“Well, that’s what Ms. Shinsooah decided. There’s no soil or plants here, so I was worried that the shadows might be weaker.”
As he said, there was nothing but stone and iron in this place.
Although he knew that it was a place where the ‘Mokyeopjibeop’ could be weakened even a little, Seo Kang-rim still didn’t feel like going there.
To have to leave a bloody, lifeless person lying on a stone floor.
“Is that all you asked? I thought you were going to ask something else.”
Dokgo Jun had a strange expression on his face.
It seemed as if he was possessed by some unknown spirit.
Seo Kang-rim glared at him and asked.
“Are you the one who sent the time-space wave?”
