The Nature of Possession

436 – EP.17 The hateful 6 -1

“Let’s see.”

The first to speak was Namgung Soyu.

She absentmindedly cast her gaze in front of her, beside her, above her, and then looked back.

“hmm.”

A man with no face was looking at her.

Although it was clearly the first time she was seeing the man, Namgung Soyu turned around and approached the man.

She examined the man’s face from every angle.

A sunken head, a moderately straight nose, slightly downturned corners of the mouth, and fierce eyes similar to his own.

Namgung Soyu’s footsteps as she approached him gradually quickened.

She soon arrived in front of the man, with his buttocks on the ground, unable to take his eyes off her face.

A surge of joy and sticky desire welled up in my chest.

It was a strong emotion that could drive a mediocre person crazy, but she paid no attention.

On the contrary, she welcomed Simma.

That sincere emotion was the source of his strength and the proof that he truly loved his disciple.

She chuckled at her disciple’s reaction of trembling eyes, dilated pupils, surprise, and joy mixed together.

How should I say goodbye to this long wait?

In the quiet, untouched peak of the stone mountain, she thought and thought.

Would it be better to just say hello briefly like we did yesterday?

Would it be better to recite my heart in detail so that people can feel the long wait?

Deciding on a greeting. It was quite a difficult task even for her who had reached the end of nothingness.

My heart is pounding so hard that I wonder if it’s okay for it to tremble like this.

She reached out her hand absentmindedly.

Her disciple looked at the hand.

“Didn’t you promise to live with me forever if we met again?”

With a deep smile, she spoke evenly.

“Keep that promise, my disciple.”

“You… recognize me.”

When Kang In-ho muttered while touching his own face, Namgung So-yu nodded as if it was natural.

“Even though your appearance has changed, the way you look at me hasn’t changed. By the way, how long are you planning on making me reach out to you?”

When Namgung Soyu nodded at his hand, Kang Inho smirked and grabbed her hand.

As she applied a little force, he came out and was held in Namgung Soyu’s arms.

Given their height difference, it looked like she was hugging him.

“Hmm, he certainly has a handsome face from before.”

Soyou muttered in his arms.

“He was handsome back then.”

“I have a good face now.”

Because it seems like your face really shows your personality.

Namgung Soyu added.

“Please put some saliva in your mouth.”

Kang In-ho chuckled.

“Aren’t you going to apply it?”

As Namgung Soyu looked up at him and smiled, Kang Inho also smiled.

And then there was an explosion.

Suddenly, Kang In-ho was startled by a loud noise and pulled Namgung So-yu out of his arms.

Without saying who would go first, they turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

Thick clouds of dust belatedly obscured their vision, and after a while, when the dust cleared, a different landscape unfolded before them.

The land in a straight line between Kang In-ho and Alpha was torn apart.

The grassy ground that boasted its freshness was hollowed out, as if something had been running and digging into the ground.

“Who dares to lay a hand on you?”

Alpha was hanging in Soyou’s red eyes.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that Alpha had done something to target Kang In-ho.

But Kang In-ho was fine.

This was because there was one person blocking the straight line between him and Alpha.

Alpha’s attack was powerful enough to blow away a person’s upper body.

“Is it a miracle….”

Alpha spoke, a mixture of male and female voices.

He clearly saw the upper body fly away. Alpha squinted at the miracle unfolding before his eyes.

In front of Alpha, a nun in modest attire was praying with her hands clasped together.

“Maria.”

The nun’s shoulders flinched when the man called her name.

“As expected, the saint is so kind. He calls me so affectionately, even though I was unable to save him.”

The nun carefully turned around and took in the saint’s appearance with trembling eyes.

The blue and green eyes were shining mysteriously.

“The soul of the saint has such a form. It is an honor to finally be able to see the saint upright.”

Kang In-ho felt his face turn red for the first time in a long time at the words that made the listener feel embarrassed.

“Ahem.”

What broke the strange atmosphere was someone’s cough.

Thanks to this, his vision broadened as he walked a tightrope on the brink of destruction.

Kang In-ho slowly looked around.

The master holding one’s hand gently.

Maria, who is at the forefront confronting Alpha.

Seong-ah, who tried to pretend to know, but then stayed still after seeing the atmosphere.

Isis looks around with an expressionless face.

Chunhyang looks at the women nearby with a smiling face.

Those who had a connection with him appeared in their own dimension.

Perhaps it is the power of the shadow that Yimi possesses.

Yimina lay on the ground in silence, seemingly unconscious.

“I’d like to talk about things that have been piling up over tea, but… it seems like there’s something I have to take care of first.”

Namgung Soyu said as he looked at Alpha, the enemy who was just a few steps away and within striking distance.

“It seems like he holds quite a grudge against you. Did he do something?”

“That’s because I’m an uninvited guest.”

“Oh, sir. It is against the rules to treat guests like this.”

As he shrugged his shoulders, Chunhyang, who had been quiet, spoke.

Was it because of the casual address? Namgung Soyu’s eyebrows slightly rose.

“……You’ve become arrogant because your number has increased.”

Alpha frowned at the overflowing life.

Once they set foot on their own dimension, their identities are naturally passed on to Alpha, and of course, they also learn what kind of powers they possess.

He is the most perfect being created by the absolute being.

The perfect mortal snickered at the beings turning towards him.

“Whether they attack all at once, or one after another… any form is fine.”

Alpha crossed his arms and felt the five’s killing intent with his whole body.

“Once you step into the unique dimension, you have no chance of winning. No matter what moves you come up with, I…”

Namgung Soyu walked out, cutting off Alpha’s words.

She passed people one by one, even Maria, and stood at the head of the group.

Her red eyes flashed like flames.

A genuine murderous intent occupied the space, and the energy contained in the fist distorted the atmosphere.

“I’ll make sure you know what happens if you touch what’s mine.”

A soft voice followed behind Namgung Soyu, who was pressing down with energy flowing out of his entire body.

“I don’t know what is ‘mine’, but I agree to punish anyone who tries to touch you, my lord.”

Chunhyang stood in front of Namgung Soyu with light steps, drawing a line with her eyes.

“I understand wanting to get ahead right away, but there is a process to these things.”

The question, “Procedure?” appeared on the faces of the other four.

Chunhyang, who saw that everyone’s eyes were on her, grabbed the hem of her skirt, bent her knees, and imitated the Western greeting.

“It is the wife’s job to protect her husband. Guests who are not related, please rest for a moment.”

She smiled broadly.
