Chapter 121 – Episode 121 Hyemin’s Death (2)
Hye-min’s movements, which had been struggling as she was being held in Do-hyeong’s grip, stopped as her desperately shouting voice stopped.
The sight of her drooping down helplessly, unable to defy gravity, was not something that was normal for anyone to see.
Dohyeong loosened his grip on her and dropped Hyemin, who was holding her, to the floor.
Thud!
Then Hyemin fell to the floor without being able to close her eyes.
“Haha…”
Dohyeong let out a rough breath as she looked at her hand that had just broken Hyemin’s neck.
Filled with anger, she unknowingly put more force into her hand than necessary and ended up breaking Hyemin’s neck.
Since her own power had already surpassed that of ordinary people, she knew that she could easily destroy people’s lives, so she had tried to control her feelings of anger as much as possible after returning to her original world.
When she first met the guys she was going to take revenge on, and even after kidnapping her, she never tried to get angry.
If I get so angry, I might kill all the kidnapped people in one blow like I did just now.
Contrary to the idea that it would make him suffer until his death, Dohyeong felt that his death would actually free him from pain, so he controlled his emotions as much as possible.
But just now, he couldn’t control his emotions.
When I saw him reflect only after he was about to die, I thought that he would never reflect again unless a moment like this came, which made me explode with anger and put too much strength in my hands.
Once you die like this, you can’t do anything as a shape.
Even though you can use various magic, such as allowing shapes to travel long distances in an instant, becoming invisible to people around you, preventing others from recognizing yourself and certain objects, and healing wounds in an instant, …
There was no magic that could bring a dead person back to life.
If Dohyeong had magic that could revive a dead person, there would be no need to resort to such cumbersome methods of revenge.
All you have to do is kill the guys in the basement while inflicting deathly pain on them, then bring them back to life without any injuries and then kill them again.
But he didn’t do that because Dohyeong didn’t have the power to bring the dead back to life.
In other words, it was as if Dohyeong had thrown Hyemin, who was dead before his eyes, into a river from which there was no return.
“Ha… I was planning on killing him anyway…”
Do-hyeong planned to kill Hye-min from the beginning. Although he did not cause any direct harm to himself, she was the one who caused great harm to Minah, so he planned to take her life one last time and cut off the link.
So there was no reason to be so shocked by Hyemin’s killing. The first time I tried to kill a human was when I had already moved to another world and was working as a warrior, cutting down and killing humans who had gone over to the monster side.
Since then, he had killed many people, so he was not very disturbed by killing people. Even if he is not a maniac who gets pleasure from killing people.
But now, an uneasy feeling remained in Dohyeong’s heart.
This was due to the fact that Hyemin truly reflected on her feelings just before she died.
It would have been better if he had died without admitting his wrongdoing, but Dohyeong wouldn’t have cared about it, but since he showed her like that until the very end, he couldn’t help but think of Minah in Dohyeong’s mind.
Even if they did not reflect on themselves, Minah’s voice rang in Dohyeong’s ears, telling them to let him go because she would forgive him for her sake.
But soon Dohyeong shook her head and removed Hyemin’s dead body with magic.
“I just took revenge… Just like I’ve been doing all along…”
Hyemin’s corpse was shattered into dust by the shape’s magic and disappeared without even a trace of blood remaining.
Dohyeong promised not to be disturbed by things like this. When I thought about the people who were still in the basement and the people I had killed so far, I thought that I shouldn’t let something like this bother me.
She has to keep making the guys in the basement suffer so much that they want to die.
Even as he was thinking such things, the regret of killing Hyemin remained in a corner of Dohyeong’s mind, but he tried not to care about it.
If you had held back your anger there…
If she had just held on a little longer, Hye-min would have been alive and she might have made Min-ah meet and apologize. Then Mina would have accepted Hyemin’s apology.
Like Ara, Do-hyeong returned to his room, upset that she had completely blown away Hye-min’s chance to return to her original home with her own hands.
Dohyeong lay on his bed and thought about why he would regret this.
She had never felt this much while killing someone before. Although she hears hallucinations of people she kills at night, she has never felt remorse, at least not immediately after killing someone.
“As expected… Is it because of Minah…”
Dohyeong knew the answer to this problem. It was after meeting Min-ah at her convenience store that her human emotions began to revive little by little in her hardened heart.
Do-hyeong, who had been acting like a devil for revenge, met Min-ah and talked to her, and as her frozen heart melted, the emotions that a human being should have gradually began to emerge.
The happy feelings she felt when she was with Minah.
The sadness I felt upon hearing Minah’s story, whose life was similarly ruined by her school violence.
Her anger towards the guys who bullied her Minah.
And thanks to those emotions, she allowed Dohyeong, who had not even thought about the future and was only focusing on revenge, to have time to envision the future.
Her dream is to build a happy family with Minah, give birth to her son and daughter, and live happily ever after.
But now she realizes that it is a dream that cannot come true because of the revenge she is taking.
It is impossible for her to live happily with Min-ah with her own dirty hands.
Thanks to this, I didn’t feel anything while torturing the guys I had kidnapped and it felt vain. Even if you do something like this, there will be nothing left for Dohyeong at the end.
No matter how successful he is in getting revenge, there will be nothing left in Dohyeong’s hands in the end.
So, Dohyeong may have been delaying his revenge unconsciously. The fact that this revenge ends quickly means that Do-hyeong loses the motivation to live.
For Dohyeong, the reason he was alive and breathing was to seek revenge, but if that revenge ended, wouldn’t he have no reason to live?
So, Do-hyeong thought that he might have dragged out revenge under the pretext of giving the perpetrators a long time to suffer.
“It would be nice to have a future where I could live with Minah…”
Dohyeong let out a regretful sigh, thinking that it was a dream that could not come true.
Although she couldn’t be with Minah, she at least hoped that Minah wouldn’t hate her.
So he had a lot of trouble even when he showed Minah what he was doing at the restaurant before. She was worried that if she showed and told Min-ah what kind of revenge she was currently pursuing, she would definitely hate her, so she wouldn’t show it to Min-ah.
Minah saw that and cried for her Dohyung and moved on, so she was okay.
But this time too, something happened that was difficult for her to tell Minah.
She didn’t know how to tell Min-ah, who told her to let Do-hyeong go since Do-hyeong killed Hye-min, who was truly reflecting, because she couldn’t control her anger.
She is clearly Minah, who even let go of her desire for revenge for her own sake, but it felt uncomfortable to feel like she had betrayed Minah’s heart.
Dohyung didn’t know how to talk to Minah about this, so her mind became confused.
Honestly, here she lies to Min-ah and tells her that Hye-min has never reflected on her actions. From Min-ah’s point of view, she has no choice but to believe Do-hyeong’s words. Because no matter what method she uses, she can’t bring a dead person here.
Dohyung knew that with one lie, she could end it without Minah hating her, but she didn’t want to make that choice.
After these complicated thoughts, Dohyeong organized his mind.
“Yeah… I don’t think anything will work out if it continues like this…”
Do-hyeong, who thought that she was not able to get the revenge he had tried to and that she was only causing trouble to Min-ah, thought that it was time for her to put everything in order.
“Then I guess I’ll have to do that. I was planning on doing this as the final act of revenge.”
Dohyeong muttered while looking at the ceiling in an empty room.
His own vengeance ultimately brought about terrible suffering and death at the end for his assailants.
So, before killing Dohyeong, after doing something painful, either physically or mentally, he vowed to end his revenge.
