Chapter 139 – Chapter 138 – Beyond (2)

Devildom.

A land where shadows longing for the light behind the world gather.

In the center of the land was a large castle.

At the end of the large castle, a red moon hung on the towering spire, and a magical crimson light hovered around the castle.

“Now, soon.”

Clacking its jaws, a skeleton murmured.

Unlike his head made of pure white bones, his body was covered with rotten flesh and organs.

Bette, the one who hates the living and always endures pain.

He held the goat’s skull in his hand and stared at the crimson moonlight through his window.

“Soon, the pain will come.”

Since it was a skeleton, no expression was revealed, but the red light that filled his empty eyelids made him look as if he was full of joy.

“Equal pain.”

The pain of rotting one’s own flesh, the pain of having one’s intestines come out.

He couldn’t feel himself.

We have to share this pain and sorrow.

Bette thought so and moved his chin.

“Purr…!”

At that moment, a low beast sounded from Bethe’s side.

When Bette turned his head, a half-man, half-beast entered his field of vision.

The werewolf, who had puffed gray fur all over his body, knelt on his knees on the ground, clutching at his chest.

“Crunch… Stupid fellow.”

Bette looked at the wolf, Fenrir, who grabbed his chest and said.

“Before darkness covers the light, will you destroy yourself?”

“Two.”

Fenrir stood up, her bright yellow eyes flashing, spitting blood from her mouth.

With a ferocious smile, Fenrir spoke.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s dark or light.”

Awesome

When Fenrir stood up, oddly, unlike the blood he had just spit out, Fenrir’s hair shimmered brightly.

Like grass in a meadow swaying in the wind, Fenrir’s hair stands out.

“Because it’s my instinct to run when there’s something shiny in front of my eyes.”

“Crunch… That’s a beastly word…”

Bette made fun of Fenrir, then suddenly stopped talking.

A moment of silence came, and Bette continued.

“Are you okay?”

“What.”

Bethe quietly pointed at Fenrir’s arm.

“Do you think you can control your father’s power?”

One arm of Fenrir was swollen abnormally.

“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k…”

Aww.

Fenrir swells up and rips off the flesh from his right arm.

Hot blood spilled over the radiant red light.

“In the first place, I didn’t even think I could control it.”

Blood was still dripping from the torn flesh, but strangely, Fenrir’s arm was unscathed.

Fenrir laughed ferociously.

“I told you, it’s my instinct to run when there’s something shiny. I don’t care what happens.”

“It’s like a stupid animal… Tsk. That kind of human is enough without borrowing power.”

Fenrir tried to say something, but the backflow of blood from his throat prevented him from speaking.

“Two.”

So Fenrir quietly swallowed his words.

The words ‘You can’t go beyond that human’.

A sword that shines bright like a light.

The prosecutor has grown even more than then.

I could tell just by looking at the appearance of the world beyond.

If this continues, Bette’s plan will fail.

However…

Fenrir laughed lightly.

He is a beast

When it sees the light, a beast that rushes at it regardless.

Wooddeuk.

Fenrir’s back swells abnormally.

Fenrir took off her flesh as if nothing had happened and threw it on the floor.

A lot of flesh was piled up around him.

‘I’ll wait only then.’

Fenrir quietly closed his eyes, feeling his father’s power building up in his own body.

* *

Podeuk.

When I step on the snow on the floor, I hear a crunching sound.

“Aim Joon~!”

I see Aris running towards me after buying Taiyaki from afar.

Aris covered her coat and earplugs, matching her winter attire.

Aris slicked her bright red, her pigtails, her hair, and she arrived in front of me.

“Come on, Joe.”

Aris took out her taiyaki from her white envelope and handed it to me.

I said thank you and bit into taiyaki.

Crispy outside and warm inside.

The cold winter wind had absorbed her whole body, so the Taiyaki felt even more delicious.

“Is it delicious?”

“Aris, it tastes better because you bought it.”

“What is that, Cuck Cuck?”

Aris smiled, and she casually crossed her arms around mine.

It’s 9pm now.

We went out for a walk at the time when the moon hung in the sky.

The snow that people walked by and the snow that was piled up next to it.

We took a walk in the park, feeling each other’s body temperature.

Hehe~ Joe… Go a little slower…!”

Meanwhile, the voice of a crying woman came from afar.

“You… You…!”

A voice that sounded like something sad.

As I thought of this quite familiar voice in my head, I immediately remembered the owner of the voice.

“Maya?”

As if the name I muttered was the correct answer, something came out of nowhere beyond my field of vision.

“Kong! Kwang!”

A dog with gray fur and bright yellow eyes.

A dog as big as a wolf runs like crazy in the snow.

“Huhhhhh!!!”

And behind the big dog was Maya, who was being dragged helplessly while holding on to the leash.

“M-Maya?”

Aris also looked at Maya who suddenly jumped out with a big dog, and she was confused.

“Mmm… Stop it…!”

Maya is not walking, but Sobok is pulling her leash as she wades through the snow.

However, despite Maya’s touch, the dog did not care and panted through the snow.

“Hey hey hey!”

At Maya’s precarious gait, I shouted to be careful, but…

“Ugh!”

Just as I was about to finish my words, Maya let go of her leash and fell face down in the snow.

“Kong-kwang-kwang!”

When Maya falls over, the rampaging dog stops her and returns to Maya.

Maya lay on her face in the snow, trembling silently over her body.

“You’re not crying…?”

Aris muttered as she watched Maya’s body shake.

“Hee… Hee hee…”

A sad cry is heard in the cold winter wind.

Coincidentally, that cry came out every time Maya moved her body.

“Kyung-kwon..!”

The dog licked Maya’s brown hair with his tongue, as if he was sorry.

Gooey saliva sticks to Maya’s head, and her hair gets messy.

“… Let’s go, Aris.”

I smiled bitterly and led Aris.

Aris also sighed and approached Maya.

Moments later, Maya, who was sitting on her bench, smiled broadly as she munched the Taiyaki we were given.

“Hee.. Hee hee.. It’s delicious…”

Maya munching on taiyaki with both cheeks turning red from the cold.

When Maya, who already looked like a squirrel, was eating Taiyaki while wearing bulky winter clothes, she really looked like a squirrel.

“Maya, are you okay?”

When I asked Maya, who had emptied a taiyaki like a crab, Maya nodded.

“Since I ate something delicious, I immediately felt better hehe..”

I took out one more of her Taiyaki and gave it to her, and Maya smiled and took her Taiyaki and ate it.

“But what are you here for? You went out for a walk with the dog..?”

I gestured to the dog staring at me by Maya’s side and said,

Shiny gray hair that reflects the light reflected in the eyes, and yellow eyes.

It’s a dog that doesn’t look unusual even if you look at it.

“Yeah! I’m here to take our group for a walk.”

“Hmm…”

It reminds me of Maya who collapsed while being dragged by her leash just before.

Rather than Maya taking her for a walk, it was more correct to call it the appearance of her taking a walk with the group.

“I’m going for a walk, but what if I get pulled over by a dog?”

In case Maya gets hurt in her heart, unlike me who was only thinking in her heart, Aris spewed a fastball right next to her.

“That… That’s it… Mungchi usually listens to me well… The snow field was sparkling, so he must have been excited…”

“Are you good at listening?”

I can’t imagine that dog the size of a house listens to Maya very well.

However, Maya seemed to think that my question was a provocation, and pointed at the bundle with her eyes wide open.

“A wad! Get down!”

“Kuh… Cuong…”

Mungchi glances at me.

It’s private, but for some reason, he was looking at me.

“Mungchi! You have to listen carefully to the owner! Otherwise, like last time, we won’t give you food for a week!”

As Maya stretched her body and placed her hands on her waist, the bundle collapsed onto the floor.

“Oh… Oh!”

Admiring Maya’s charisma, Maya twitched her nose to see if she was in a good mood.

“This is not the end. Bunch! Bang!”

Maya shapes her gun with her hands, and she aims it at the wad.

Mung-chi tightly closed his eyes, and soon turned over on his stomach and rolled into the snow.

“Good boy~.”

Maya smirks, and she throws the taiyaki she left behind at Mungchi.

Mungchi skillfully snatched Taiyaki from the air in one bite and ate it.

“Can I give you that?”

As if Aris was okay, she asked Maya.

“Of course! Originally, the basic training principle for dogs is carrot and stick!”

“No, that’s not it. Can I give the dog sugar?”

“Uh… Uh uh… Can’t we eat all the mutts? I’ve already eaten a lot, so it’ll be fine…?”

Maya, who was confidently inflating her body, answered Alice’s question with a crawling voice.

“Is that a mutt?”

Where do you see that shit?

With its glossy gray fur and its large size, it is easy to believe that it is an imperial dog raised in China.

“Yes, mutt! I picked it up two months ago when it was a pup.”

Maya raised her fist and said.

“Two months ago, I was a little bit, but I changed like that after eating well and sleeping.”

“Huh… Hmmm…”

Could it be a real wolf?

I had an ominous thought, but seeing the wad thumping and flipping its stomach again, I was sure it wasn’t a wolf.

“Then let’s go now.”

Maya nodded at us as if thanking us, and she grabbed the bundle by the leash.

“…”

Mungchi was quietly looking at me.

Bright yellow eyes contain me.

Seeing that, something stirred in my body.

“Let’s go, group.”

Maya led the group and left us.

Mungchi looked at me until the end, and then turned around.

Sensing something strange, I blankly looked at the backs of Maya and Mungchi.

However…

“Kong!”

Outside the promenade, I smiled as I watched the crowd jump into the snowfield glistening in the moonlight again.

It seemed that the feeling was forsaken.
