Chapter 180 – Chapter 180 – Promise (23)

The light faded from Merlin’s eyes.

At the same time, the spirit of the sorcerer that Merlin developed was shattered.

Whoops.

White light shattered in all directions, and my sorcerer’s progress faded accordingly.

Spitting out into the original space before I knew it, I spat out blood.

“Cool!”

Gii-i-!

The armor that was amplifying the yin energy disintegrated slowly.

Unlike before, I didn’t smoke directly.

With the Power of Harmony, with the help of armor.

A tolerable recoil assaulted my body.

No matter how tolerable it was, a bowl of blood was basic.

“Cool, cool.”

He took all the energy inside his twisted body and spit out blood.

Charrrr.

In order to ease the burden on me as much as possible, the armor went into the skin, leaving only a part.

I blankly knelt down and looked around.

“… Kim Cha-ryeok.”

First of all, I searched for the one who disappeared after striking a blow.

Fortunately, the guy had passed out with his head buried in the base of a tree far away.

Having flown so far, it was fortunate that I did not get caught up in the drunkard’s gin.

“……”

Lots of dug up ground and broken trees.

After taking a look at the traces left by the battle, I blankly looked at Merlin in front of me.

Merlin’s face was grinning horribly until he was about to die.

Even when it was cold, he was still smiling.

The torn left arm and the red blood flowing from the chest.

At the moment, he felt guilty, but the energy he felt from Merlin’s blood was the blood of the Imoogi clan.

I realized once again that I was a person to be killed.

“Whoa.”

He let out a sigh.

And he flopped down on the floor.

When I saw the clear blue sky where nothing had happened, I finally felt that I had accomplished it.

Even though he was helped by Kim Cha-ryeok, he took the life of the leader of the evil forces.

“… Cool.”

Now that all I had to do was wait, the moment I tried to close my eyes slowly, suppressing the boiling blood.

Quaang-!

Someone fell out of thin air at great speed.

“Brother.”

Flutter.

The guy who hurriedly approached me, folding his wings made of blood.

It was Areum, the runaway sister whom I had been looking for so much.

As Ah-reum sees me slowly closing her eyes, she runs madly and embraces me.

“Brother, brother…!”

Areumyi, who roughly hugged my upper body, called out to me from close to my face.

Instead of responding to Areumi’s words, let’s slowly close our eyes.

Tears like chicken droppings flowed from Areumie’s golden eyes.

“Ah… Older brother, why… Why…”

After leaving the house without a word, the cost of worrying.

Wanting to do this, she quietly opened her eyes.

Then, Areumie’s expression, which had been her crying face, changed to her relief.

“I’m glad, I’m glad.”

Back.

Holding my chest, Areumie, who was dripping with her tears, lowered her head.

Something made me feel very trashed.

“Kuhm.”

To calm her beauty, she slowly reached out and stroked her hair.

Areumie accepted my hand without saying anything.

After silently enjoying my touch, Areum called me.

“Brother.”

“Why, beautiful.”

Ah-reum buried her head in my chest.

“Why are you doing this?”

“……”

“Now, you know my older brother. That I’m not even your little sister, that I’m a monster. Also, that I approached my older brother with a purpose from the beginning. But… But, why?”

Aumie sobbed.

I replied calmly to Areum.

“I told you from the first time I saw you.”

“… Yes?”

“There’s no reason. Originally, if a pretty little sister with a story appeared, everyone besides me would have done the same, right?”

I raised my throbbing upper body and faced her beauty.

“And no matter what the purpose of approaching at first, no matter what the identity is. Ah-reum, now you are my sister.”

In order not to run away again, she held her hand tightly.

“I… How do I.”

“In the first place, just now, he ran up to me while mournfully spitting out the words ‘Brother!’. If this isn’t my sister, what is it?”

Even though I joked a bit, Areumie’s face distorted.

Areumie, her tears dripping, wept over me.

“I… Can I really be your older brother’s sister?”

“Of course, you are always welcome.”

With a satisfied smile, I subtly pushed Merlin’s corpse down the slope.

Swoop.

Perhaps because of his lack of strength, Merlin’s corpse kept leaning this way.

I tried to hide it as much as possible, but Ah-reum immediately noticed my actions and turned her head away.

Areum looked at Merlin’s corpse with blunt eyes.

She lifted Merlin’s corpse with all her might and struck it.

Drool, drool.

Merlin’s corpse rolled across the ground as she smiled.

Ah-reum, who had been silently watching the scene, whispered as if she had sworn to me.

“Your brother is there.”

“… Okay.”

As if she had made up her mind on something, Ah-reum looked back at me with an extremely serious expression.

“Because my older brother cherishes even me like this. And since I can help even a little bit with my ability from now on, I will dedicate my whole life to my older brother.”

“It doesn’t have to be…”

“Instead, brother.”

Areumie’s golden eyes contained mine.

Looking at my eyes, one side of which was tinted with gold, there was a sense that they were definitely brother and sister.

Contrary to my heartwarming thoughts, Ah-reum declared to me.

“Please don’t take me as your sister anymore.”

“… Yes?”

Beautiful woman with a sad smile begged me.

“I’ve become so addicted to the kindness that my older brother has given me. If you give me more attention than this, I’ll be ruined.”

“……”

“You know how greedy I am. I’ve looked at how many women there are by my brother’s side. I have a lot of debt to pay, so I’m greedy for my brother. Don’t pay attention to me anymore. .”

Perhaps she meant it, Areumie blinked her eyes at me as she vomited words that were no different from parting.

“Ha.”

She sighed as she looked at Ah-reum, who was still holding on to the same attitude even without her Merlin.

Seeing me like this, Areumie seriously warned me again.

“Brother, seriously…”

“It’s beautiful.”

I silently called Areum.

Ah-reum cut off what she was saying and politely replied, “Yes.”

“I remember the promise I made with you earlier.”

“What kind of promise?”

“If I can’t rehabilitate you, I promised to stay for the rest of my life.”

Areumie’s eyes trembled.

“That…”

“Since she even ran away from home, I have to take responsibility. Although, as I said before, I won’t fall to the bottom of hell together. Areum can’t get away from you or me anymore.”

I grabbed Aumie’s hand tightly.

“Contrary to what it looks like, I’m greedy too. Once I get my hands on something, I won’t let you go. That’s why, beautiful, you’re my little sister from now on. Okay?”

“… Yes, brother.”

Beautiful distorted her face in her beauty, and swore to me.

Arum buried her face in my shoulder as she shed tears.

The fact that somehow everything passed, I let out a sigh wet with relief.

But even that moment was short-lived.

That buck

I heard someone’s presence, and Ah-reum sharpened her eyes.

“Huh, true.”

Whirik.

A monster that stirred the air once with a long spear.

With the personal statement received from Morgan, the youkai who knew the identity looked around.

Li Shang.

A monster who uses his physical constitution, and the leader of one of the evil powers.

He is characterized by his hair that extends wildly down to his waist and fangs sprouting out of his mouth.

As if in a state of collapse, he focused his eyes on Merlin’s bizarrely erected corpse in the distance.

“It’s ridiculous. Merlin died.”

Rather than exasperate her, Li Shang scratched her hair, as if genuinely exasperated.

Kagagak.

Just in time, the spearhead, which was far beyond Li Shang’s height, was swept to the floor.

It was only a small movement, but both me and Areum.

At the same time, tension increased.

“Brother, you won’t be able to move. Leave it to me.”

Areum whispered to me.

As if there was no need for that, I spoke to Li Shang in a hoarse voice.

“It’s late.”

“Huh…? Ah, yes, it’s late.”

Li Shang accepted my words with a surprisingly friendly attitude.

“Why are you late?”

Rather, when I pushed back as if to rebuke him, Li Shang flicked his fangs awkwardly.

“You know why. At first, I thought that killing the escorts we had attached was something that Merlin did occasionally.

Whirly Rick.

The window pole rotated at a tremendous speed.

Chin.

Li Shang, lightly gripping the spear pole, continued her words as if muttering.

“Merlin said they ran after all the test subjects that had been released beforehand. While she was trying to deal with the sudden riot, a bang erupted from the other side. They arrived in a hurry.”

Remembrance.

Lixiang pointed the spear at Merlin.

“That old man was looking for it? I can tell who killed it just by looking at it.”

“It’s in self-defence.”

With calm eyes, I spoke to Li Shang.

Then Li Shang laughed.

“Yes, of course I know. You can tell just by looking at that smiling old man’s face. Well… You can call it self-defence.”

Li Shang’s spearhead slowly moved toward me.

“I thought you were too dangerous. Maybe… It’s been less than a year since you came to this world, right?”

I said nothing.

Before I knew it, the window was facing me, and Areum stood in my way as if to protect me.

“That’s right. I hate complicated things, I like simple things. My feelings right now, if I don’t kill you right now… I think I’ll regret it very much.”

Chiyiing-.

The windowsill trembled.

Li Shang’s eyes widened fiercely.

“I don’t think there will be a chance if it’s not now. Excuse me.”

Whiik.

Li Shang’s spearhead disappeared.

But at the same time.

Teouk.

Someone’s model appeared in front of Lixiang.

Jjaeaeaeng-.

The spearhead, bent like a bow, was held at the fingertips.

Li Shang clicked her tongue in regret.

Someone who grabbed the spear pole powerfully threw it away.

“What are you doing now?”

Jihye Kim.

Kim Ji-hye, who appeared at the most reliable timing.

As if he didn’t know anything about what just happened.

With a displeased expression on his face, he skillfully continued his acting.

Li Shang backed away with her wry smile as if she had been beaten.

Haha.”

Said Li Shang, who put the spearhead on her shoulder and waved at us.

“Then, let’s all meet at an important event later.”

Kim Ji-hye stayed by my side, smoking a cigarette, until Li Shang disappeared.

When Li Shang disappeared, Kim Ji-hye let out a sigh.

“… Fuck.”

It sounded like a signal flare signaling that the situation was over.

* *

A few days after Merlin’s incident.

“Hiccup… Hey…”

I was on my knees, facing a very difficult situation.

“Fuck… Hey… Hiccup. Kang Kang-jun…”

“Yep.”

I answered right away, but Kim Ji-hye in front of me kept swearing at what she didn’t like.

“이 개새끼 진짜. 씨이발… 딸꾹.”

Drunk and staggering, Kim Ji-hye’s right arm tipped over the beer.

Shiver.

Beer flowed down Kim Ji-hye’s body.

Kim Ji-hye blankly watched her beer flow down her body and spat out her swear words.

“Hiccup… Ah fuck.”

How the hell am I going to get through this situation?

I averted my gaze from the embarrassing and obscene scene unfolding before my eyes.
