An explosion rang out on the field of snow.
Yu Jung-Hyeok swung the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] and smacked away the 'Hounds Chasing After the Abyss', before climbing on the roof of the subway train.
That explosion just now, it sounded suspicious. Did something happen inside the train?
[Dammit! There are just too many!]
The Abyssal Black Flame Dragon fighting off the Hounds blew his top in anger. There didn't seem to be an end to these black hounds rushing in at them from all sides.
The Great Sage continuously throwing down lightning bolts to scorch the hounds could only mutter on in an exhausted voice. [….I don't want to admit this, but I'm still ways off from comparing against the people from 999th turn.]
Yet another explosion noise went off from inside the subway. Yu Jung-Hyeok reflexively turned his head in that direction. What could those be? From the front car of the train, bits and pieces of what resembled Fables began leaking out.
It was also right then that some things were spat out of the hole on the train along with the loud 'Ku-gugugu!' noise.
Uriel freaked out and shouted at him. [Yu Jung-Hyeok! Dodge it!]
Right next second, hounds being ejected from the train blanketed Yu Jung-Hyeok like a black cloud.
Pah-susu….
Black bits scattered about. With the commshaped hole as the centre, the door before their eyes was disappearing.
Han Su-Yeong pushed herself off the floor and looked to the front. Letters were strewn about near the cabin door leading to the 3807 train car.
⸢I also⸥
⸢With you all⸥
The moment she saw those words that couldn't yet become sentences, Han Su-Yeong realised just what knocked on the door from the other side. They were Fables – very small fragments of Kim Dok-Ja. Her eyes chased after the line of fallen fragments. The closer she got to the centre of the cabin, the greater the number of Fable fragments fallen on the floor.
⸢Kim Dok-Ja was there.⸥
Kim Dok-Ja's body, now as small as a young child, was floating up in the middle of the cabin. His eyes were closed, and he seemed unconscious. Rays of entrancing light were being emitted by his figure that continued to shed blinding Fable fragments. These fragments went through the subway's windows and drifted off to the destination unknown.
“Ah….?”
Kim Dok-Ja's Avatar next to Han Su-Yeong gasped out. His eyes were trembling as if he was shocked. Then, he began approaching the young Kim Dok-Ja.
“Ah… Ah, I'm…..”
The moment he said that, a powerful suction force began pulling him in. Some kind of power was summoning him back. The Avatar's body began breaking down bit by bit. Those broken bits were then sucked into the main body.
His gaze looking back met Han Su-Yeong's. She reached out unbeknownst even to herself.
“Grab him!”
However, her hand couldn't touch him. The rate of the Avatar breaking down and getting sucked in grew faster. The bits of fragments from the Avatar brushed past her hand – some words were caught in Han Su-Yeong's fingers.
⸢I'm sorry⸥
Just what was he sorry about? Kim Dok-Ja's Avatar scattering away like an apparition emitted bright light as he got sucked into the main body. However, despite it absorbing all of the Avatar's Fables, Kim Dok-Ja's body didn't grow back up again. No, the amount of Fables flooding out from him increased, instead.
“Kim Dok-Ja!!”
Han Su-Yeong instinctively realised it. They needed to stop that. Otherwise, they would lose him forever.
Her muscles tightly wound up released like a spring. And so, just as Han Su-Yeong tried to approach Kim Dok-Ja floating in the air…
Kwaaaaaaah!
⸢Y o u c ant go fu rth er⸥
Accompanied by a loud explosion noise, powerful gusts of wind suddenly blew in and something exploded out from Kim Dok-Ja's body. His Fables were overflowing wildly. Sentences flooding out like black tides blanketed the entirety of the cabin and swallowed Han Su-Yeong up.
“Everyone, be careful!”
Right next second – as if the lights were turned off, the whole world was suddenly plunged in darkness.
