Fragments of the ceiling fell as Jung Heewon quietly stared through the dust. She could see the collapsed Han Sooyoung through her blurred vision.
Judge of Evil and Black Flames Demon Ruler. Demon-like Judge of Fire and Abyssal Black Flame Dragon.
It was a battle that almost all the constellations on the Korean Peninsula looked forward to but the expressions of the parties involved weren't pleasant at all. Jung Heewon stepped through the dirt and pointed the Sword of Judgment at Han Sooyoung. “Why don't you stop acting?”
Han Sooyoung scattered into powder. There was a sharp ripple. Jung Heewon reflexively twisted her body and stabbed the sword behind her. There was the sound of metal being struck. Han Sooyoung untied the bandage around her right hand while the Sword of Judgment pierced through the darkness.
“…You weren't fooled?”
“I know you have the Avatar skill.” A white light emerged from the Sword of Judgment. “You are the First Apostle.”
Their status collided with each other and both people fell at the same time. Jung Heewon's eyes were red after she triggered Demon Slaying. It strengthened the user's attack power but also heightened their uneasy emotions. The grief and anger amplified.
“It was you who attacked the people of Chungmuro.”
The battle of Chungmuro when the flag war was in full swing. It was the first time Han Sooyoung met the party members.
“At that time, Jihye and Gilyoung almost died.”
“…You aren't the one who almost died so why are you so angry? You weren't even there at the time.”
“I am angry because I wasn't there. If I was, I wouldn't have left you alone.”
Lights were shining in the air and the things that happened during the flag battle was projected as holographic images. Perhaps it was a service from the dokkaebis for the constellations who weren't in the channel at the time. The appearance of Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung as they were terribly hurt by the apostles was shown. Han Sooyoung seemed like she was going to be sick. “Then are you going to kill me now?”
“I can't trust you.”
Han Sooyoung bit her lips. She also understood that Jung Heewon's anger was reasonable. Certainly, she was the First Apostle and at one time, the enemy of the party.
It happened one day two years ago. The rumour that Han Sooyoung was the First Apostle spread. It was unknown why the rumour spread. One thing was for certain. Han Sooyoung didn't deny the rumour. It might've been due to guilt or it could've been a cowardly heart. Han Sooyoung didn't know either.
The only thing she knew was the attitude of the party members towards her.
-Well, it is a thing of the past.
-Really? Noona was the person who talked with your head cut off? How amazing.
Lee Jihye and Lee Gilyoung were the ones who suffered the most during the flag battle but they didn't care at all. Yoo Sangah was already aware Han Sooyoung was the First Apostle and closed her eyes, while Yoo Jonghyuk didn't mind. However, Jung Heewon was different. “You have to atone properly.”
“Why are you―”
“If you continue roughly like this, what about the scars the kids received?”
In order to make everyone happy, there were things they put up with because they didn't want to break the harmony. This was especially true for people who kept an eye on the surroundings.
“Han Sooyoung, if you're an adult then you should act your age. Don't be immature.”
[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is nodding.]
Han Sooyoung's eyes became ferocious.
[The constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' is angry.]
“This person, do you think you're the apostle of justice? It is good to pretend to be cool but think about the time and place. Would Kim Dokja like what you are doing now?”
“It has nothing to do with Kim Dokja.”
“You said it with your own mouth. You will be Kim Dokja's sword.”
For the first time, Jung Heewon fell silent. Han Sooyoung ridiculed her. “As a sword, shouldn't you move as your master tells you?”
“I'm sorry.” The dust on the floor sparked. The air burned wherever Jung Heewon's sword passed through. “This sword is selfish.”
[Father.]
