Chapter 264 – Chapter 264- Secret of the Soul (11)

Her eyes were a mixture of half orange and half gold.

A monster with eyes identical to Dayun Cheok’s, and similarly with two swords hanging from his waist.

It was none other than Darae.

Soul specter.

Darae also existed in this place where Dayoon Chuck kidnapped me.

In the unexpected encounter with Darae, let’s stare blankly at Darae in a daze.

Unlike me, Darae hurriedly moved toward me.

“Hanjun…!”

Darae approached me with great speed and grabbed my shoulder.

“Are you okay? Are you not hurt anywhere?!”

Flash.

Darae’s eyes were staring at me.

The eyes that filled me were filled with worry and concern.

It seemed like something sticky was floating over it, but I decided to ignore it for now.

“Oh, I’m fine for now.”

“…They are bandaged. I’ll check.”

Teouk.

Unlike me still riding the ice, Darae’s movement was swift.

After realizing the presence of a bandage wrapped around my collarbone, Darae immediately took off my top without my permission.

“Why.”

Darae’s face was crumpled by the bandage that wrapped around his upper body.

But soon after realizing that most of the wounds inside the bandages had healed, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

“That… Darae.”

Let’s talk to Darae, who awkwardly lifted his shirt.

Only then did Darae come to his senses, and immediately put down my coat.

“Keuheum, Mi… I’m sorry. I’m worried about the original body.”

Darae coughed and looked away.

A strange silence passed, but that was also for a moment.

Darae was alert and grabbed the handle of his sword.

“Chuck Dayoon.”

In a cool voice, Darae asks for his sister’s name.

I thought about how to answer.

Darae’s feelings towards Chuck Dayun were too complicated.

When she was young, her older sister went to the forefront to heal her own incurable disease.

She is the only older sister who took care of herself in the sword demon clan, where she was treated as a loner and as a man.

However, Darae’s feelings for Chuck Da-yun, who took away everything from her family and even killed her father.

Hatred, guilt, and pity.

All emotions were violently mixed.

And Darae caught up in the torrent of all these mixed emotions, she knew what would happen if she saw Chuck Dayoon.

Click.

If Chuck Da-yun appeared, she was able to infer from Darae’s appearance preparing to draw a sword straight away.

I wanted to convince you of this situation with as much words as possible.

It is true that I was actually kidnapped, and I also did not know why Chuck Da-yoon had kidnapped me to this secret land of the soul.

It was obvious that defending Chuck Dayun would only amplify Darae’s hostility.

I decided to get out of the situation for now.

“This, I fed this and made him sleep for a while.”

I pointed to the odd-looking grass in front of me.

That grass I was looking for for the purpose of making breakfast had a restorative and sleeping effect.

After listening to my words like this, Darae must have relaxed to some extent.

She let go of her hand that was tightly gripping the handle.

“I’m glad, I’m really glad.”

Darae grabbed the hem of my clothes instead of the handle of the sword.

Perhaps she was really worried, Darae’s legs were even shaking slightly when her tension was relieved.

I tried to suggest that Chuck Dayoon had taken care of me up to this point, but.

Darae suddenly pushed her face towards me.

“Sniff, sniff.”

Darae’s sharp nose twitched.

I felt warm breath near the hem of my clothes, and Darae spoke to me calmly.

“I can smell Chuck Dayun’s scent.”

“Ugh… Huh? Huh.”

Of course I had to fly.

Up until yesterday, Chuck Dayoon had been my goddaughter in the name of solving my sexual desire.

Now, it’s not just about taking a bath and having a goddamn daughter.

Even facing each other at close range.

Because he touched Dayoon Chuck’s chest and did it.

The smell of Chuck Dayun on my clothes was an inevitable result.

Darae whispered to me with his cold eyes.

“Could Chuck Dayoon have done something bad to you… Han Joon?”

Darae’s eyes turned to me.

Unlike the first time, the eyes that filled me were very dangerous.

If she answered ‘yes’, she would draw her sword straight away.

“No, it wasn’t like that. Contrary to your worries, he treated me and almost neglected me.”

Let me explain her situation straight away, minus her goddaughter.

“… Is it.”

Darae let out a sigh of relief and took some of her cold eyes away.

“It must have been. The bandages wrapped around your body must have been wrapped by that woman.”

Swoop.

Darae’s eyes turned to my upper body.

Her golden and scarlet eyes were somehow low.

There was something deep in Darae’s gaze that he had never felt before.

Immediately, I realized that her hair was not in normal condition.

Madness called Swordma.

It had been secretly revealing itself from before, but now it was definitely hovering around Darae.

Like Chuck Dayun, he had a similar habit of unconsciously pointing his hand toward the handle of her sword.

It seemed that there was something mixed with feelings about me, not the sword.

Thinking it was my misunderstanding, I decided to calm down.

“I’m fine, nothing happened.”

“No, it’s not okay.”

I somehow brought out words to reassure Darae.

It was immediately denied by Darae.

“Hanjun, why did you get kidnapped this way? Have you heard the reason?”

“… That is.”

“I’m sure you’re trying to understand others somehow. I thought you’d find the reason after being treated by Chuck Dayoon. But.”

Darae looked up at me with her emotionally fluctuating eyes.

“Chuck Da-yoon is a monster who even killed his close friend.”

Obviously, Dayoon Chuck killed Hana Lee.

Kim Ji-hye also had the intention of murdering Chuck Da-yoon, who killed Lee Ha-na.

“……”

“My friend, who seemed extremely close to me, is also a monster that I killed with my own hands. Is there any guarantee that Chuck Da-yoon will not suddenly kill you?”

“That.”

I was speechless.

In a dream, a glimpse into Chuck Da-yoon’s past.

Looking at Dayoon Cheok in everyday life, I just guessed that there must be a reason.

Even if Chuck Dayoon actually went mad and killed everyone.

It made sense.

‘I am the cause of everything. So you must hate me.’

Chuck Dayoon also said he was guilty, and he told me to hate myself.

But.

I trusted my intuition.

Let me silently spit out a defense for Chuck Dayun.

As if he didn’t want to hear it, he grabbed my wrist.

“For now, let’s talk after leaving this space. I’ll listen to you to your heart’s content later.”

“Uh… Uh uh.”

Darae dragged me along.

This time, it looked like being kidnapped by Darae.

Darae looked at me and said.

“Be patient with me. Stay with me for a few days. If you hide for a few days, you’ll be able to get out of here.”

“How can I get out?”

Let’s ask how to get out of this secret land of souls, where souls exist.

Darae immediately answered.

“Just like that time, you can cut the space. At that time, Hanjun, I think you will disappear. I was able to imitate that sword attack as if I was possessed, but my skills are still lacking.”

Darae grabbed the handle of the sword with the other hand that was not holding my wrist.

“But for some reason, every time I kill the Shadow Fiends that appear every evening, do you feel that my skills are growing rapidly? I’ll be able to follow them again soon.”

No way.

I remembered the final scene of being kidnapped by Dayoon Chuck.

The last image of Darae I saw before my eyesight was blacked out.

Darae, who wielded the sword in both hands, swung a cross-shaped sword.

In all likelihood, he followed Dayoon Cheok’s space-slicing swordsmanship.

If it really is like this, it seemed like I could run away with Darae without moving.

The moment I was dragged away by Darae, unable to do this or that.

Suddenly, Dayoon Chuck jumped out of the air.

In my senses, it seemed like Dayoon Cheok had risen out of nothingness.

Darae, who was holding my wrist, pulled out his sword, as if he had read Chuck Da-yoon’s movement in that short moment.

Chaeeng-!

The blades collided in midair.

A savage roar echoed around.

I was positioned behind Darae’s back by the wrists that Darae yanked.

Dayoon Cheok was nimble in the air, turned around and landed at close range.

Teouk.

Chuck Dayoon looked at us, sword in one hand.

The other half of the face, revealed thanks to the half-shattered mask, was shaking precariously.

Madness.

The madness of being a swordsman who is already close to being seriously ill, even if Chuck Dayoon grabs his sword.

It was devouring all of Chuck Dayoon.

However, Darae, who did not know the existence of madness, only chewed his teeth.

“Look at that. Isn’t it alive?”

Click.

Pulling out the two swords hanging from her waist, Darae took a posture to protect me.

Cheok Da-yoon is engulfed in madness, even in the midst of spewing death.

He was looking at me sadly.

‘Please, please.’

Even if you don’t speak, you can understand.

As soon as I met those sorrowful eyes that seemed to ‘come over this way’.

Darae further blocked my way, emitting grayish black air from the sword.

Woo woo-.

“Hide behind me.”

“……”

When Darae emitted gray-white sword energy, Cheok Da-yoon also emitted gray-white sword energy from his sword.

And soon after, Chuck Da-yoon dug into Darae.

It seemed that he was trying to take me away by force.

Whoa-! Jjaeok-!

The gray-white sword and the gray-white sword clashed.

Instead of fighting swords against each other, let’s fight between gray-white swords that erase everything.

An extremely low vibrating sound resonated.

After that, numerous sword strikes were fought in the air to the extent that their movements could not be seen.

It was true that Chuck Da-yoon had the upper hand with his skills.

Originally, Chuck Dayun used two swords, but he only used one sword.

Darae was able to receive Cheok Dayoon’s sword attack.

In the beginning, it seemed like he was blocking it, but every time a short time passed.

Darae’s body movements gradually resembled Cheok Dayoon’s, and he skillfully blocked the sword attack.

“…!”

Chuck Da-yun read something in Darae’s eyes.

He hastily backed away.

“Why but.”

Darae took a shallow breath and whispered.

“Why, did you stop the sword?”

A voice that sounds like thirst.

Seeing Darae gripping the sword tightly in front of me, I immediately made up my mind.

Snap.

I signaled Chuck Dayoon.

Receiving my signal, Dayoon Chuck rushed at Darae again.

As if Darae had waited, he immediately tried to receive Cheok Dayoon’s sword attack.

Woo woo woo woo-.

Da-yoon Cheok smoothed out Darae’s sword attack and turned it to the side.

And beside him, I was present, having escaped behind Darae’s back.

Perok-.

“Gagging.”

As Chuck Dayoon hurriedly snatched it up, a great pain hit his stomach.

“I’m sorry.”

Even in the middle of the rush, Chuck Dayun whispered sorry in my ear and immediately started running away.

“Hanjun…? Hanjun!”

Darae, who figured out this fact belatedly, started chasing Chuck Dayoon.

Woo woo-.

However, Chuck Da-yoon is as if he is using a folding paper to fold space.

He bent space with his sword and jumped over a tremendous distance.

Darae somehow copied it, but it was clearly different from Chuck Da-yun, who used it consecutively.

“Hanjun… Hanjun…! Please!”

Darae’s eyes twisted sadly.

Seeing Darae swinging his sword and chasing after him fiercely.

I felt very sorry.

“No… No, no!”

In the end, from afar, Darae, who couldn’t chase after me, screamed.

I felt even more bitter about Darae’s appearance, like the male lead, who seemed to have been subjected to something ntr.
