I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Chapter 384:

Sister (8)

“….”

Cassia looked at Ojin without being able to close her mouth.

Although I didn’t say it with my mouth, if I put into words the vague look in my eyes, I would say, ‘Is that what you’re going to say?’ It will be about that much.

“Why on earth… would you do something like that for someone like me?”

She wasn’t oblivious to the point where she didn’t know that the reason she was going to fight because she didn’t like the way it looked was just a loosely given reason.

Cassia clutched her chest, feeling a sinking sense of guilt.

Transparent tears flowed down my cheeks, as white as snowflakes.

Being protected by someone else.

The unfamiliar sensation stimulated her like a tickle.

Funny.

Even in this situation, my heart was pounding like it was going to explode and my body was hot.

If I were to express the emotions welling up in my heart right now in one word… yes, the closest emotion would be ‘happiness’.

‘Crazy bitch.’

He spat out a double curse towards himself.

There is a level of shamelessness in feeling happy while being protected by the man you betrayed.

Nausea leaked out at the disgusting sight of myself.

but.

Nevertheless.

“Why… are you protecting someone like me?”

Why?

Every time I saw that broad back blocking my path, I felt an indescribable sense of relief and happiness.

“I don’t know.”

“…You don’t know?”

“Literally, I don’t even know why I’m doing this.”

Oh Jin let out a short sigh and shook his head.

If we thought about common sense, it would have been right to take Isabella with us and get out of here.

There is no need to feel guilty or responsible for her sacrifice.

Because it was Cassia who dragged her here.

however.

why.

Is it as if a nail has been driven in and my steps are not falling?

“….”

You can give as many reasons as you want.

If I run away from here, I don’t know what Mobius will do next, or if Cassia dies, Isabella will be sad.

Or, you can give a stupid reason that Cassia, who is crying and shaking pitifully, is so beautiful that you can’t stop walking.

It doesn’t matter if you have a shallow sense of justice or a mediocre moral sense.

‘I don’t even know why.’

It is not a judgment based on perfect logic or an action based on thorough calculation.

I just want to do that.

Yes, this reason would be just right.

‘That’s enough.’

Didn’t you make a decision when you faced the Heavenly Demon under the black sky?

Without giving up even a single thing.

Without sacrificing even a single person.

Without letting go of anything I was holding in my hands.

I will protect them all.

therefore.

“Don’t show off for no reason, just lie there quietly.”

Ojin walked slowly, leaving behind Cassia, who was trying to stand up.

“…under.”

A low laugh came from the mouth of Mobius, who was sitting on the remains of the building and watching the situation.

He looked at Ojin with a look of disbelief.

“Are you really the same person as the Heavenly Demon?”

How can two people be so different?

“I’ve heard stories about it, but… it’s amazing to see it in person.”

Moebius shook his head with an expression of boredom and let out a soft sigh.

“I thought I’d seen a lot of people before, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone as greedy as you.”

Without sacrificing anything and without giving up even a single thing.

Trying to deal with a constellation that was once compared to the North Star?

It was an act that could only be considered insane.

“So how long are you going to flutter with only your snout?”

Ojin stretched out his arm and gestured towards Moebius.

The spear stuck in the wall floated into the air and was held in his hand.

‘I’ll have to use Gaecheon.’

The problem is proper timing.

As long as it was not yet clear exactly what level of power Mobius had, it was not possible to hastily use Gaecheon.

‘Then for now.’

I used Sanctuary Expansion while raising the energy of the Black Sky.

Oooooh!

The stigmata of Lyra radiated light, and Ojin’s whole body was engulfed in a soft silver light.

The sanctuary, which can be said to be the basis of the power of the constellation, was unfolded through the body of a mere human.

“…sanctuary?”

Mobius let out a low exclamation as if he was surprised.

This was only the second time in my long life that I had seen humans using the sanctuary.

“Even though their personalities are different, the power they possess is the same.”

Moebius nodded his head and slowly got up.

Sararak Sararak.

With a sound like the rustling of a collar, pure white snakes crawled out from his shadow.

‘come.’

Ojin swallowed dry saliva and strengthened his hand holding the spear.

I wanted to start the battle as quickly as possible because a lot of magical power was required to develop the sanctuary, so much so that it could be said to be ignorant.

‘yet.’

Unless you knew Moebius’s abilities, you couldn’t hastily attack him first.

Ojin activated the stigmata of the constellation Canis and observed the movements of the pure white snakes.

and.

Sigh!

A burning pain felt in the side.

A pure white snake approached him without a blink of an eye and bit off a handful of his flesh.

“Ugh….”

I couldn’t see it.

Even though he was using the stigmata of the constellation Canis, the flesh on his side was bitten off so quickly that it was impossible to tell when or where he was attacked.

‘It’s not at a level that can be said to be fast.’

This was a speed that would not be surprising considering it could surpass space itself.

‘It’s too late when you see it with your own eyes.’

It is correct to say that it would be impossible to follow Moebius’ attack with the eyes if you could not see it even with your senses heightened by the Stigmata of the Constellation Canis.

then.

Pajik pachutsutsu!

A faint thunderstorm, invisible to the naked eye, spread around Ojin like fog.

Ohjin closed his eyes and concentrated on the thunderbolt spread around him.

‘right!’

Sigh!

I twisted my body to avoid the white snake that was launched at terrifying speed.

I felt sharp fangs barely grazing my collar.

Coo!

Ojin, who dodged the attack, continued his momentum and kicked towards Moebius.

The spear blade filled with black lightning was aimed at Moebius’s neck and stabbed in.

Quack!

The feel of fabric passing through your hands.

The black lightning that penetrated the sanctuary of Ophiuchus began tearing Mobius apart like a hungry beast.

“Kukkuk keuk!”

Moebius, whose throat had been pierced, opened his eyes white and gurgled out blood.

Moebius’ body collapsed and rolled around on the floor.

“…Tsk.”

As soon as Ojin pulled out the spear from Moebius’s neck, he quickly jumped back to increase the distance.

‘Was it a artificial body?’

Ojin himself, who had dealt with the Constellation not long ago, knew best that this was not the end of him.

“Incredible.”

As expected, Moebius’ voice comes from somewhere else.

When I turned my head, I saw Moebius standing with a relaxed expression.

Slurp, slurp.

Mobius’ body, which had been rolling around on the floor just now, turned into a group of pure white snakes and disappeared into the shadows.

“No matter how artificial it was, there must have been a sanctuary… I didn’t expect it to be breached so easily.”

Mobius lets out a soft exclamation.

He was genuinely admiring it, not ridiculing it.

‘It’s different from what I heard from the Heavenly Demon.’

Is it possible that he has become this much stronger in the short time since he left the Demon World?

The growth rate was so absurd that it made me laugh out loud.

“Not long ago, a rather tasty piece of food rolled in.”

“Ah, you mean Anceladus?”

“okay.”

Ojin twitched the corner of his mouth and looked Moebius up and down.

“But snake meat is better to eat than seahorse meat, right?”

“Haha, be scared. “I think they are both the same master of the Black Sky, so they say similar things to him.”

Moebius looked at Ojin with a low smile.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of becoming your prey right now. “There’s something I have to do.”

“Do you have any plans to become prey in the future?”

“well? “Maybe it won’t matter once the work is done.”

As he said that, Mobius smiled slightly.

Why?

The smile on Moebius’s lips felt lonely, as if he was left alone in an endless snow field.

‘Did you say it has the same purpose as the Heavenly Demon?’

Ojin, who was thinking about the ‘what must be done’ mentioned by Mobius, soon shook his head and raised his magic power again.

“Stop talking nonsense.”

It was difficult to maintain the sanctuary for a long time because it consumed so much magical power.

I had to figure out the timing to use ‘Gaecheon’ before all my magical power was depleted.

“Why don’t you come quickly? Are you going to keep standing there?”

Ojin waved his hand and prepared to dodge Mobius’ attack by spreading lightning around the area.

‘You can avoid it if you concentrate.’

When I was reading the movements of a pure white snake one by one with my eyes closed.

“No, let’s stop here.”

The pure white snakes disappeared, melting into the shadows like melting snow.

“…are we going to stop here?”

“Anyway, my purpose was to find out what kind of person you are.”

Mobius shrugged his shoulders as if he had already achieved his goal.

“You did something like this to test what kind of person I am?”

Ohjin watched Moebius’ movements with sharp eyes without letting go of his nerves.

Even if they said that, I didn’t know when they would attack again.

“haha. “There’s no need to be so nervous.”

Moebius smiled softly and turned around.

“We will meet again soon anyway.”

“….”

“It won’t be long now… it will all be over.”

“…what?”

“haha. well? “You will know when that happens.”

Even if you don’t want to know.

Leaving behind an eerie statement, Mobius’ body disappeared as if melting into the shadows.

The suffocating energy that filled the abandoned building disappeared.

“…ha.”

A low sigh escaped Ojin’s mouth as he continued to look around his surroundings without letting go of tension even after Moebius had completely disappeared.

‘What is this guy doing?’

In a way, he was even more unknown than the Heavenly Demon.

Ojin frowned as if he had a headache.

‘Anyway, Cassia…’

Let’s turn around to check Cassia’s condition.

“Ah…”

Cassia was seen staring blankly at the spot where Mobius disappeared.

Her emerald eyes were as empty as an empty ruin.

“are you okay?”

“Oh Ojin.”

She looked up at Ojin with a tear-soaked face.

“Ah uh.”

She was walking backwards with a pale, exhausted expression, but suddenly she crawled on the floor on all fours toward Ojin.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. sorry. please forgive me. I don’t want to be left behind anymore. I don’t want to be alone. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Cassia hugs Ojin’s leg and repeats the same words like a broken machine.

‘no.’

Why is he like this again?
