Han Su-Yeong's dagger accurately brushed past Kim Dok-Ja's shoulder. He reflexively grasped his wound. Of course, she didn't miss that.
⸢An Avatar doesn't bleed.⸥
After the
“Have you really gone insane?! What the hell are you doing?!”
“Ahjussi!”
Shin Yu-Seung freaking out hurriedly approached Kim Dok-Ja. Even Yi Hyeon-Seong and Yi Ji-Hye, too. And, the shoulder covered up by the wobbling Kim Dok-Ja….
⸢If what Han Su-Yeong said was correct, then.⸥
Very slowly, his palm left the wounded shoulder.
“I'm alright. Please don't worry.”
No one knew who sucked in their breaths first. Nevertheless, they all clearly saw it.
⸢Blood was flowing. A deeply crimson blood, no less.⸥
Han Su-Yeong too also witnessed it. However….
“….Hold up. It's not over yet! There are Avatars that can bleed, too!”
What she said was true, because she too had created such an [Avatar] before.
⸢An Avatar injected with lots of memories will bleed.⸥
She spotted Yu Jung-Hyeok in the distance, still chopping his veggies. She felt utterly annoyed by how his lips didn't even bob once as if he couldn't see what's happening on this side.
Perhaps that was why she ended up saying something she shouldn't have. “We'll know once we cut off his head. An Avatar will still move without a head, after all.”
“What did you just say???”
Only after she saw Jeong Hui-Won's expression hardening to a frightening degree did she realise her own mistake. The aura of [Hellfire] danced on the [Judge's Sword]. That was Uriel's Stigma, never been activated once ever since the scenarios came to an end.
Jeong Hui-Won spoke in an angry voice. “If you try something like that, it'll be your head flying off, instead.”
Han Su-Yeong stared at the [Judge's Sword] pointing at her and slowly raised the aura of the [Black Flame] as well. She knew the situation was gradually reaching the point of no return, yet she still couldn't stop herself.
Yi Seol-Hwa's voice trying to dissuade them was heard next. And when Han Su-Yeong saw the expressions of both Shin Yu-Seung and Yi Gil-Yeong busy baring their animosity towards her, something inside her snapped.
⸢Maybe, it was a miracle for them to come this far together.⸥
She was acutely aware of her not fitting in with these people. She used to be the 'king of prophets' once upon a time, and was referred to as the 'false king', too. She was nothing more than a villain in the epic tale Kim Dok-Ja had created.
Eating pizza and drinking Cola with everyone by the Han River? From the get-go, all of that was a conclusion ill-suited to Han Su-Yeong.
Ku-gugugugu!
The tense stand-off generated by the two opposing flames continued on, only for a clear, innocent-sounding voice to break the flow.
“What are you all doing? I brought beer.” Jang HYeong holding plastic bags on both of her hands was standing there. “Wait, are you doing one of those hidden camera things because I showed up late?”
That voice filled with anxiety managed to wake the companions up. As if they finally recalled the reason why they were here in the first place.
And the man who hadn't said a single word until now also decided to say something as well. “Why don't you all give it a rest?”
