People nodded as if they agreed with Choi Sang-won’s words.
At first glance, it seemed like a reasonable method, but Seo Kang-rim could not accept it.
The shadow was clearly his own, and he had no time to be caught here.
“That’s difficult.”
At those words, people looked as if they had been betrayed.
There were also some who felt resentment.
“Really… … you were that shadow?”
“You were deceiving us?”
One by one, people stood up with their weapons in hand.
Seo Kang-rim looked at them silently.
‘Fighting is just a waste of time, it’s become difficult.’
There was no time to persuade him verbally or to knock him down and leave.
As Seo Kang-rim was observing the situation, Choi Sang-won shouted.
“Catch them all!”
As if that shout had been a trigger, people all rushed towards Seo Kang-rim.
But at that moment, Seo Kang-rim disappeared in an instant.
“What, what? Where did you go?”
“What kind of power did you use?”
While people were looking around, the door on the left opened and closed suddenly.
A man pointed there and shouted.
“Over there! Over there! Seo Kang-rim ran away over there!”
They ran frantically toward the open door.
Seo Kang-rim stood in a corner of the room, silently watching the scene while using ‘Hermit’.
As everyone left, he quickly went back through the door he had come from.
As I exhaled, the ‘Hermit’ was released.
‘That’s why I was planning to come in late, but I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
It was a situation where he was also concerned that his talent would be discovered.
It wasn’t particularly surprising, but it wasn’t a situation to feel at ease either.
As he quickly returned to the herbal medicine shop, Yoon Bom and Jang Tae-heon greeted him.
“Brother! You came later than expected?”
“I was wondering what was going on because Master didn’t come.”
Their faces were a mix of joy and worry.
Despite the warm feelings, Seo Kang-rim felt uneasy.
‘How will the two of them react when they find out about my ability?’
In his previous life, Jang Tae-heon knew what his special ability was and kept him company, but he doesn’t know it anymore.
It was something that could have made him feel resentful and betrayed by the fact that he had been hiding his abilities.
‘It would be a problem if I ran into Choi Sang-won or someone else and they found out about my special ability.’
Even if the power was revealed, it should have been revealed after Shin Soo-ah was sent away.
Seo Kang-rim said urgently.
“I was late because I had to meet people and find out the location of Shin Soo Ah’s house number. It’s around here.”
“What? Really! Then let’s go quickly!”
Jang Tae-heon and Yoon Bom suddenly stood up from their seats.
Seo Kang-rim quickly walked towards the flower garden with the two people.
His steps quickened with various kinds of impatience.
As I opened the door to the direction indicated on the map, a pleasant scent wafted from the room.
【Oh, what is it? Did it come out?】
【No. It’s not outside, but it’s like an indoor flower garden?】
【Wow, it’s so big. I can’t believe it even though it’s outside.】
The indoor flower garden was so large that it instantly created the illusion of being outdoors.
The ceiling was made of glass, and sunlight was streaming in through it, but it was probably an illusion.
Compared to other magic rooms, it was three or four times larger, and there were large trees planted throughout the garden.
The flowers growing in the flower bed were colorful and shiny, as if they had been cared for for a long time.
“Let’s find it as quickly as possible. We don’t have time.”
“Okay, Master!”
The three of them split up and started searching frantically for the badge.
Seo Kang-rim’s expression was not good as he checked the time frequently.
【By the way, this place is really big.】
【I see. It’ll take some time to find it, right?】
【It’ll be fun if we run into the kids from District 2!】
【What will Yoon Bom and Jang Tae-heon say when they find out about Seo Kang-rim?】
If they found out about themselves… … .
Seo Kang-rim forced himself to hold back his anxious imagination.
There was something urgent right now.
‘I have to find the ticket quickly. It’ll take some time to get back to the entrance.’
Since we had entered quite deep into the Demon Realm, going back was also a task.
If you encounter a demon or other area in the middle, time will be delayed even more.
So I had to find the badge as quickly as possible.

While I was scanning the magic mirror for a while, I heard Yoon Bom’s urgent cry.
“Cha, I found it! Sister Suah’s badge! It was hidden on the tree!”
Yoon Bom was shouting while covered in dirt.
Shin Soo-ah’s badge was placed on top of a large tree.
Hearing that, Seo Kang-rim sighed in relief and got up from his seat.
“You’ve worked hard. Now, let’s go back and bring Shin Soo Ah back… … .”
-Doo-ung… … Doo-ung… … .
Before Seo Kang-rim could even feel relieved, the sound of drums arrived.
Suddenly, shadows began to fall on the brightly lit garden, as if night had fallen.
【Oh, look at the timing.】
【I won’t give it up easily!】
【Why does the interval between the drum sounds seem to be getting shorter?】
【I wonder how many will come out this time.】
【I hope just one comes out.】
As the gods chattered, shadows began to form throughout the garden.
The number is roughly four or five.
Jang Tae-heon looked secretly relieved at that sight.
“That’s good. There aren’t many, right?”
It was a move that three people could easily win.
Among them were some injured shadows.
As soon as the shadow was created, it fell to the ground, almost crawling.
Even though he was a devil, I felt sympathy for him.
Seo Kang-rim muttered as he looked at the shadow.
“… … No way, Ms. Shin Soo-ah?”
The shadow, which appeared to be on the verge of death, had a red band wrapped around its left arm.
It was the same position as Shin Soo-ah.
Although she had no facial features, her appearance in pain was similar to Shin Soo-ah’s that I saw in prison.
【Isn’t this the real Shin Soo Ah shadow?】
【Why do you look so pitiful?】
【It’s fortunate that it’s weakened, otherwise it would have been a big problem.】
‘We must kill him quickly and return.’
The sound of the second hand, which should not be audible, seemed breathlessly heard.
I had to get rid of these things as soon as possible and return to Shinsooah.
‘At this rate, there’s plenty of time. If I bring Shin Soo-ah and get the badge and leave right away… …!’
His movements became quicker in the hope of getting everyone out safely.
The moment he swung his sword at the shadow, aiming for its vital spot.
-Kkaang!
The sword that struck Shin Soo-ah’s shadow bounced off.
I felt a sharp pain, as if a stone had been thrown at me.
Before I knew it, a transparent film had formed around the shadow.
[The ability ‘Protection Shield’ is activated!]
It was a very familiar shield, one I had seen somewhere.
The shadow next to him reached out to Shin Soo Ah’s shadow.
A sacred white light began to pour out from the tips of his fingers.
[The ability ‘Healing Hand’ is activated!]
Jang Tae-heon and Yoon Bom’s eyes widened when they saw that.
It was clear that everyone was thinking about the same thing.
【That ability, really… … ?】
【Isn’t that Father John’s shadow?】
【That’s right, that’s right. There’s also a band on the little finger.】
‘The two who should never meet have met.’
Seo Kang-rim cursed inwardly and attacked again.
The light of recovery was growing brighter.
‘We have to deal with it before Shin Soo Ah’s shadow is restored!’
Just as he was rushing forward to break the barrier, two shadows leapt forward.
The muzzle and the bowstring were aimed at Seo Kang-rim at the same time.
It was a shadow with a similar physique, like a twin.
【Ah, it’s crazy Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul?】
【Why are you all gathered here?】
-Taang! Taang!
A sharp gunshot was heard from behind Seo Kang-rim, and a bullet hole appeared between the eyebrows of the shadow holding the bow.
Before I knew it, Yoon Bom was standing behind me.
Smoke was rising from the muzzle of the rifle she was holding.
“Yoon Bom, Jang Tae-heon! Assist me while I break down the barrier!”
“Yes, Master!”
Yoon Bom’s shadow staggered after being hit in the shoulder, but immediately aimed his gun.
As the gunfight unfolded, an unusually large shadow stepped forward.
Seo Kang-rim laughed in vain.
I could instinctively tell that it was Jang Tae-heon’s shadow.
The shadow rushed at Seo Kang-rim with the momentum of breaking his bones.
Movements that are slightly faster and stronger than the original.
And then Jang Tae-heon jumped in.
-Wow!
Jang Tae-heon and Shadow’s fists clashed at the same time.
There was a sound of something crashing, but Jang Tae-heon paid no attention.
“Don’t disturb my brother… … !”
While Jang Tae-heon was dealing with his own shadow, Seo Kang-rim quickly ran to the side.
The shadows of Father John and Shin Soo-ah were still within the protective shield.
-Kkakang, kkakang!
Seo Kang-rim used all his might to lower the protective shield several times.
As I swung the sword madly, ignoring even the recoil from my arm, I could gradually hear a cracking sound.
-Bam!
The moment the protective shield was barely broken, Yohan’s shadow’s head was blown off by the sword swung by Seo Kang-rim.
The shadow staggered and collapsed on the spot.
And as if taking the place of the order, Shin Soo-ah’s shadow slowly rose up.
‘Is it too late… …!’
Shin Soo-ah’s shadow, which had seemed like it was going to die just a moment ago, seemed much lighter.
The dark face, whose expression was unreadable, seemed as deep as a well.
The moment the shadow reached out, Seo Kang-rim felt the change in the flow of air with his whole body.
[The ability ‘Mokyeopjibeop’ is activated!]
[The effect of this ability increases depending on the environment!]
-Whoaaah!
As soon as the ‘Leaf Law’ was activated, the plants growing all over the garden began to grow in an instant.
The place we met was, of all places, a flower garden.
It was the perfect place for Shin Soo Ah.
-Crunch!
Seo Kang-rim swung his sword at the branches that stretched out like snakes, but their regenerative power was too strong.
As Seo Kang-rim cut the branches frantically, he could barely see ahead.
Before I could even feel relieved, a shadowy face appeared through the gap.
-Chae-Ang!
As we cleared the branches, this time a shadow charged at us with a sword in hand.
Seo Kang-rim raised his sword to block the attack, but he ended up taking a step back without realizing it.
‘Much stronger than the main character, Shin Soo Ah… …!’
