I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 263
I am not a returner Episode 263: Snowy
field (3)
Rumbling!
Isabella and Cassia clashed, and a roar rang out again.
“Damn it!”
Oh Jin chewed his lips with a nervous expression.
I wanted to somehow go towards Isabella, but my body was going against my will and moving towards the shadow wall.
The body, free of her will, turned away from her and headed towards the place where she had broken the shadow wall earlier.
In terms of distance, it would be about 200 meters.
Because the shadow dome was so wide, we were able to escape the aftermath of a near-disaster battle.
“Ugh ah.”
When I tried to force my body to turn, blood burst out again from my right arm, which I had stopped bleeding with the potion.
While he was momentarily distracted by the pain, Ojin’s body arrived at the place Isabella had mentioned.
A small gap carved into the shadow wall caught my eye.
It was only a small gap that a head could fit through, but with a little more strength, it could be made large enough for a person to slip through.
Squeeze!
A blue flame burned on the knife in his hand.
As I pushed the knife into the small gap and pulled it back and forth, as if cutting a hard tree with a saw, I could see the gap opening little by little.
“Ugh!!”
Crack.
He gritted his teeth and tried to resist the command, but his body was widening the gap at will, as if he were a puppet.
‘stop.’
Is it because they are engaged in a war with Isabella that they are unable to pay attention to this area?
The shadow wall that seemed impenetrable was expanding faster than expected.
Oh Jin looked down at the hand holding the knife with nervous eyes.
Even at this moment, the knife covered in blue lightning was steadily opening a gap through which Ojin could escape.
“Aaaah!”
at that time.
Isabella’s screams were heard.
When I turned my eyes, which were the only ones moving of their own will, to look at her, I saw Isabella lying down.
Isabella must have been hit so hard that a piece of flesh the size of two fists was torn off her side.
Some of his internal organs were sticking out, mixed with red blood.
“Isabella!”
I urgently called her, but it was no use.
The body dominated by the ‘order’ thrust its upper body into the gap.
“Damn it!”
As I exited the shadowy dome, the refreshing night air passed my cheek.
A body escaping out of the shadow dome like a baby that has just hatched from an egg.
“stop!”
Although he shouted urgently, Ojin’s body steadily followed Isabella’s orders and began to run away from the shadow dome as far as possible.
“F*ck stop!”
A background that passes quickly.
Ojin chewed his lips and focused his mind on his left chest.
‘If it’s Heukcheon.’
The thought that I might even be able to disobey her orders crossed my mind.
“Ugh!”
Gurgling!
A black cloud began to slowly flow out from the left chest.
As the energy of the black sky spread throughout my body, I felt my body, which had been running at high speed, gradually slowing down.
But that’s it.
‘My body doesn’t move properly.’
Although he could resist commands, he could not move his body in complete disregard of commands.
‘There is no way to bring out more of the energy of the Black Sky here…’
Oh Jin’s expression hardened.
one thing.
There was still a way.
“…but.”
but.
but.
but.
I swallow the words that cannot continue.
I looked down at my left breast with trembling eyes.
‘If you open the door.’
It will be erased again.
I’ll forget it again.
Precious memories that were fun, happy, sad, painful.
The footprints of the life he passed by.
“…no.”
My body is shaking.
It curls up like a baby and lets out a frightened sound.
scary.
Unbearably, unbearably.
However, the thought that Cassia might not kill her own younger brother crosses her mind.
okay.
It will happen.
Even if he was unconscious due to his consciousness being controlled by the Heavenly Demon, there was no way he would kill his only blood relative.
‘The attack stopped earlier.’
The image of Cassia struggling while clutching her head came to mind.
Even while under the control of the Heavenly Demon, her consciousness did not completely disappear.
It was shining like a star hidden beyond the dark clouds.
So it will be okay.
So there will be no problem.
Even if I run away like this.
Nothing.
“…under.”
A laugh escaped Ojin’s mouth.
He covered his face with his free hand and burst into laughter.
“That’s fucking shit.”
What a funny sight this is.
How ugly is this?
Are you afraid of forgetting your memories, so you want to run away, leaving Isabella in limbo?
-I don’t want to let go of both of them.
I know it’s selfish.
I also know that it is shameless.
It is a childlike desire to eat all the candy in one’s hands even if all the teeth are rotten and crumbling.
but.
-For now… it’s enough to know Oh Jin’s feelings.
There was a woman who smiled at me and said that it was okay despite the child’s complaints.
There was a woman who smiled brightly as if she was happy.
then.
“I guess I should go.”
You can forget it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s erased.
Just like Vega said that day.
Because closing your eyes doesn’t mean the world disappears.
Ojin turned towards the shadow dome.
He placed his hand on his left chest and quietly chanted a spell.
* * *
“haha!”
Burning pain.
Isabella let out a rough breath, suppressing the intestines that were trying to protrude from her side with her hands.
In front of her was Cassia, looking down at her with cold eyes.
Empty pupils, as if their emotions had been cut out.
The black jewel embedded in her forehead was eating into her consciousness like a seed rooted in the ground.
“…sister.”
Isabella chewed her lip and looked up at Cassia.
Cold eyes turned to her.
“Why?”
A hazy voice, as if he had just woken up.
Tears formed at the corners of Isabella’s eyes.
My sister’s voice was so cold that it felt unfamiliar, as if it were someone else.
“Come to your senses… sister.”
“Are you going to come to your senses?”
With a faint smile, Cassia roughly stepped on Isabella’s side, where pieces of flesh had fallen off.
Argh!
A scream of pain rang out.
“I’m completely fine now?”
It flicked its long tongue like a snake and spread its arms wide.
She fluttered the hem of her black dress and twirled her body as if dancing.
“Ah, my dear Bella. “My cute little brother.”
A voice that resonates like a song.
“Do you know? “How much I hated you.”
“That… what are you talking about, sister?”
“Hehe. “After all, our Bella didn’t know?”
Cassia burst into laughter, squatted down, and stretched out her hand toward the fallen Isabella’s cheek.
“I thought of you every time I saw you smiling brightly.”
While sitting in a wheelchair.
The image of Isabella running around with an innocent smile in front of her as she faces her impending death.
“Why am I like that?”
It was as if all the blessings that should have been shared with her were passed on to her.
Isabella showed extraordinary talent from a young age.
He easily digested the rigorous gifted education curriculum and received rave reviews in music and art, calling him a genius who only comes along once in a hundred years.
What about exercise?
There was a time when he won an international competition simply by learning fencing for health reasons.
genius.
Those words felt like words that existed for Isabella.
“I thought about it over and over again, dozens of times, hundreds of times.”
If Isabella were the brightly shining sun.
She was a shadow cast against the light.
The brighter Isabella shined, the deeper her darkness became.
Every time her bright smile and innocent good intentions turned towards her, I felt despair as if the ugly, shadowy emotions in my heart were being brought out one by one under the sunlight.
“Something like you…”
Something like me.
“I wish I had never been born.”
Cassia spoke in a threatening voice, as if she would collapse at any moment.
“….”
Isabella looked at Cassia with sad eyes.
I didn’t know.
No, it would be correct to say that I didn’t even care.
Even though they were walking around laughing and talking excitedly in front of Kasia, who was suffering from an incurable disease and could not even stand on her own two feet.
I thought it was okay.
I thought it was no problem.
Since she was a kind sister, I thought there would be no problem.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
My heart hurts as if it was being cut with a sharp knife.
Her indifference made me happy.
How much despair it must have been for Cassia.
Being young is an excuse.
Because she was neither young nor foolish enough to not understand human emotions.
“There’s no need to apologize?”
Cassia smiled darkly and slowly raised her wand.
“Because all my wishes have already come true.”
A pure white snowy field with a blizzard.
There was someone who picked a star from the night sky and gave it to her as she was dying from the cold.
There was someone who came to her who had nothing and was thrown away like a piece of paper drawn in a lottery.
It’s not painful anymore.
Not lonely anymore.
As long as you follow His words and follow His will.
“Because I won’t be abandoned anymore.”
Empty emerald eyes turned to Isabella.
Cassia struck down the staff she had raised high.
This is the end.
Now you can escape from the shadow cast by the sun.
okay.
If only Isabella disappeared….
“….”
Once again.
Cassia’s arm stopped.
In terms of time, it is a short period of time, less than 1 second.
But that brief hesitation changed her fate.
-Quaaaaaaaaa!
A loud, resounding explosion.
The dome made of shadows was roughly torn apart, and black clouds rushed in.
“what…?!”
Cassia stepped back with an embarrassed expression.
Black storm clouds rolled in like a tsunami.
Oh Jin walked out from there.
“Oh Jin…?”
Isabella opened her eyes wide as she looked at Ojin, who had almost half of his body turned into a black cloud.
The dark clouds that hung around like fog enveloped Isabella’s body.
“Ugh! This…”
“Stay still.”
The black clouds surrounding Isabella’s body took her to where Ojin was.
Ojin frowned as he looked down at the wound on Isabella’s side.
“Do you have any potions left?”
“Ha, there is one.”
“Give it to me.”
Ojin took out a potion from her handbag and poured it on the wound.
Isabella looked at Ojin with an expression of incomprehension, wondering if the pain had subsided and she had come to her senses.
“How could Mr. Ojin be here? And that appearance…”
They must have given him an ‘order’ to run away.
“I’ll explain later.”
Since it was shown that the stream was used, an explanation would be needed anyway.
“Let’s finish what needs to be done first.”
Ojin slowly got up and turned his burning blue eyes towards Cassia.
