Chapter 302
I am not a returner Episode 302
Sky Mountains (8)
[What a foolish question.]
Vega glared sharply at Felice and shrugged his shoulders.
[Isn’t it natural for Jiknyeo to be next to the only apostle who inherited the stigmata of Lyra?]
“Apostle of Lyra…?”
Felice’s gaze turned to Ojin.
“You were an apostle of the North Star?”
A voice with a clear sense of hostility, unlike before, which was friendly.
Ojin nodded, slightly rotating his right arm back so that he could pull out Dantalian at any time.
“That’s right.”
“I’m disappointed! “It’s been a while since I found someone I wanted to be my butler, and it turns out he was an apostle of the North Star!”
Felice fiercely bared his teeth by slapping his front paw down as if he was angry.
She glared at Vega with eyes full of jealousy, then raised her fingernails and nervously scratched the ground.
“Give up the stigmata of Lyra right now and become my butler!”
Are you saying you want to come out now?
I’ve heard that the constellation of Cat is very jealous, but I never thought that they would lack common sense.
When Ojin pulled out Dantalian and was about to say something.
[…Did you tell your child to give up the stigmata of Lyra?]
A voice as cold as swirling frost.
Just like when he first met Vega, his inorganic gaze, as if his emotions had been worn away, turned towards Felice.
“Huh huh?!”
Felice, who felt a cold sense of death, stood back with his fur standing on end.
Vega glared at Felis, who was retreating, and spoke coldly.
[Why would her child give up the stigmata of Lyra and acquire the stigmata of Cat?]
“What are you saying?”
[You may have been expelled from the sanctuary, but you must have been a member of the Constellation at one time.]
There was a light of mockery in your inorganic eyes.
[How dare a satellite challenge the authority of the North Star?]
“….”
Felice’s expression hardened.
“Just now… what did you say?”
[She said that her child is not someone who would dare to be fooled by satellites.]
The same tone of voice as the strict chaebol mother-in-law in morning dramas.
It was a bloody atmosphere, as if an episode would come out right away if you shouted, ‘This cat thief!’
Ojin looked between Vega and Felice and clicked his tongue.
‘It’s hard to solve this with words.’
Felice was also Felis.
This time, it was largely because Vega was more excited than necessary.
From the perspective of Felis, who was expelled from the sanctuary in the past and downgraded to a ‘satellite’, Vega’s words now must have been literally repulsive.
‘I guess I got too excited when I was told to give up the stigmata of Lyra.’
I had no intention of blaming Vega.
Ojin himself was quite upset by Felice’s reckless attitude, and he didn’t think Felice would listen to him talking calmly in the first place.
In times like this, it would be a good tactic to use provocations to cloud their judgment.
“Sister Riak Isabella.”
While Felice was distracted by Vega, Ojin quietly looked back at the group.
“Did you see the way down earlier? When I give the signal, run straight there.”
“Leave that swarming bastard alone?”
“It’s just a prosthetic body anyway, so what’s the point of fighting?”
And since Felis was here, there was a high possibility that Behemoth was waiting nearby.
I wanted to avoid fighting the Holy Spirit in this fog.
“Even if we fight, we have to get out of the fog first.”
“yes. “I do that.”
“okay. “Then it’s okay to just jump out?”
Ojin took a deep breath and counted one, two, three in his mind.
Felice was about to shout while glaring sharply at Vega.
“now!”
Ojin and his party began to run quickly towards the outside of the Sky Mountains without even looking back.
Of course, Vega, who was the only one in the group who had not heard the explanation about the operation, was unable to follow the fleeing Ojin group and looked embarrassed.
‘Vega just needs to go back to the sanctuary and come back!’
The location where Vega is summoned is around the silver pendant she gave.
And that pendant was now hanging around Ojin’s neck.
Even if you become separated from the group, you can meet Vega if you return to the sanctuary.
“This way, kid!”
In the lead, Riak ran quickly through the thick fog.
When the distance widens to the point where the wires that bind each other’s bodies become taut.
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!
The bushes beyond the fog were shaking greatly and I could see something rushing towards me at high speed.
“Just trying to run away!”
Felice’s sharp cry was heard from afar.
“Ojina! “Those are the spider babies I saw back then!”
“damn.”
I expected Felice to have planned something, but I never thought she would react so quickly.
“I will break through the siege!”
Isabella stretched her wrist forward with her fingernails, and a bloody storm swept away the approaching demonic beasts.
In an instant, the bodies of hundreds of demonic beasts were torn apart and a path was created.
but.
“There are too many babies!”
In an instant, a horde of hundreds or thousands of demonic beasts swarmed in and blocked the road again.
The number of magical beasts was several times greater than when I first faced them.
Not only were there spider demons, but there were also demons I had never seen before.
‘Have all the demonic beasts in the Sky Mountains flocked here?’
Ojin frowned and looked around.
I couldn’t figure out where to go because of the thick fog and the demonic beasts surrounding me on all sides.
“I’ll show you the way from above! “Go that way!”
“Oh Ojina!”
Ohjin cut the wire connected to the group with a knife and flew high using the thunder step.
‘Jiknyeo Castle’s hunting dog!’
Squeeze!
Blue thunderbolts spread out in all directions, surrounding the surroundings, and the movements of a group of demonic beasts flowed into my mind.
Although my senses were dulled due to the fog, it did not completely block all my senses like the clouds in the black sky, so I was able to see which side had fewer demons.
“100 meters to the right! Then turn left and run!”
“yes!”
Isabella ran forward and spread her arms wide.
Blades made of blood poured out in all directions, indiscriminately wiping out the demonic beasts that stood in the way.
“Fire!”
As if Ha-eun couldn’t lose, she took out a candle and aimed it at the group of demonic beasts.
A huge fire, like a tidal wave, attacked the demonic beasts.
“This way!”
Compared to Ha-eun and Isabella, Riak’s ability to deal with a large number of people was much lower, and he took on the role of a guide and led the group in the direction instructed by Ojin.
“Ojina! “You too, come down quickly!”
“okay!”
Ojin released the stroke of the thunderbolt and landed on the floor.
Ojin, who joined the group, followed Riak’s footsteps while wiping out the crowd of demonic beasts.
When the thought crossed my mind that I would be able to escape the siege without difficulty if I continued like this.
“I told you not to think about running away!”
Felice’s cry rang out again.
At the same time.
Wooooow!
The black aura spread widely, covering a certain area in a circle.
‘This.’
It was a sight that Ojin had seen several times.
“Crazy… using sanctuary?”
Sanctuary.
A space made up of the power of the constellations.
An absolute realm that distorts not only the laws of physics but also the order of life and death has engulfed Ojin.
‘You crazy cat!’
What if it were a sanctuary without the restrictions of the law?
You probably don’t know what the price will be if you use sanctuary outside of the sanctuary.
Even Vega, the constellation of the North Star, is subject to restrictions that cannot be moved for as many as a hundred years.
A Felice of a much lower rank would be so severely restricted that it wouldn’t be surprising if her existence were to cease to exist.
“Ugh!”
Ojin struggled to get out of the sanctuary, withstanding the strong force pulling his body.
“joy! “It’s no use!”
Felice, who had come right behind me, snorted.
“Mr. Ojin!”
“Ojina!”
Isabella and Ha-eun ran to Ojin, who was being sucked into Felice’s sanctuary.
“Tsk!”
“Damn it! “The wire!”
The wires tied to my body got tangled together, so my steps slowed down slightly.
I cut the wire in one second and ran to where Ojin was.
Wooooow!
The sanctuary that Felice had opened had already disappeared completely.
of course.
With Ojin swallowed up inside.
* * *
“Big.”
Ojin opened his eyes, clutching his throbbing head.
A forest covered in thick fog.
It was clear that it was the Sky Mountains, but it was not the space it had been in just a moment ago.
‘Has it moved in space?’
Before the question of where to go even crossed my mind.
[My child!]
The pendant glowed and Vega appeared.
As Ojin thought, it seemed like he returned to the sanctuary and reappeared.
[Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?!]
Vega flew in quickly and touched Ojin’s face.
Ojin calmed down Vega, who was panicking, and nodded.
“don’t worry. “Because there are no injuries.”
[ha. Thank goodness.]
Vega looked around as if her head had calmed down a little.
[This is…]
“This is the ‘nest’ we’re staying in.”
Felice’s voice came through the fog.
Vega distorted her expression fiercely and lashed out at Felice.
[You can’t believe I’m using the sanctuary! Do you know what that means!]
“Hmph! “Do you think I used Sanctuary without even thinking about it?”
Felice snorted and shrugged her shoulders.
“With his power, the power to slightly move space can be used without restrictions~”
His power.
“…Are you talking about the Heavenly Demon?”
Now that it was clear that Felice was the enemy, there was no reason to use honorifics.
“oh? “Did you know?”
Felice smiles slyly and twists the corners of her mouth.
Ojin chewed his lips and frowned.
I knew that it was related to the Black Star Constellation and the Heavenly Demon.
I never thought that I would have the power to use ‘Sanctuary’ without being restricted by the law.
“So why did you even use the sanctuary to drag me here?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier?”
Felice’s eyes lit up as she licked up and down Ojin’s body.
“I will make you my butler.”
“….”
This crazy cat.
Oh Jin suppressed the urge to get angry and sighed.
“I have no intention of becoming your apostle?”
“Hehe. “I’ll see how long I can say things like that.”
Felice smiles leisurely as if she has a secret hidden away.
And her hidden ‘move’ revealed itself faster than expected.
Thump thump thump.
The sound of heavy footsteps heard through the fog.
“Krrrrrrr.”
An eerie cry that seemed to strangle the soul was heard beyond the fog.
Although it was still obscured by fog, it was not visible.
Even without looking, it was not difficult to figure out who was beyond the fog.
“…Behemoth.”
The ruler of the Sky Mountains was walking out through the thick fog.
