Episode 85

Before Kang Tae-min attacked the hands.

He accepted Seol Gyu-jin’s request to find out the location of Hands. It was difficult to enter the president’s office from the outside, but it was not difficult to unlock the security procedures from the inside.

It was because Seol Gyu-jin had to ask for help if something went wrong with Seol Gyu-jin while Bae Seung-ju was away.

“Dad… ?”

Seol Ga-eun was the first to bring her. She was surprised by the visit of the association employee disguised as Kang Tae-min, a stranger, but she ran to Seol Gyu-jin’s business in a month.

[Ga Eun-ah.]

Seol Ga-eun was confused. It was because he was completely different from the father he knew.

However, I was able to hear the full story of the incident from Seol Gyu-jin.

“So, that person… .”

“He’s the one who made your father like this.”

Seol Ga-eun’s heart sank at Kang Tae-min’s direct statement.

A fake who absorbed Seol Gyu-jin’s soul and calmly pretended to be his father. An unscrupulous person who was the cause of the family split and discussed reunion.

‘I, then I… .’

Most of all, she resented herself for acting as a daughter in front of Hands without knowing the inside story.

her eyes reddened.

Sorrow, anger, and regret swirled together.

‘I have to save my father.’

Knowing this, my mother would forgive my father. I never thought we’d be able to be a family again.

However, the time allotted was limited. Seol Gyu-jin was dying every moment, so even if his mother forgave him, he would not have enough time to spend as a family.

It wasn’t enough to compensate for the pain of the past.

‘You can deal with that fake first. I can save Dad.’

But she had the ability. Hands alone would have solved the problem.

“Dad. Mom, I’ll be back soon, so wait a little bit.”

While Seol Ga-eun contacted Lee Young-mi, Kang Tae-min demanded that he keep his promise.

“Now reveal the location of the hands.”

[Before that, I have something to ask you.]

“… please?”

[yes. I’ve never cloned anyone else. No, it would be correct to say that it cannot be.]

“What do you mean?”

Taemin Kang tilted his head.

[Creatures are not subject to ‘possession’. So only I was able to clone myself.]

“But obviously… .”

[yes. Didn’t you say that Hands cloned Pete? That’s the difference between him and me. Perhaps he found a way to clone others.]

The moment he heard that explanation, Taemin Kang intuitively came to mind.

‘Barrier area.’

The reason Seol Gyu-jin can’t and Hands is possible must be because of the seed, so the phenomenon that occurs because of the seed came to mind.

[Perhaps you can be cloned too. carefully.]

“Don’t worry about that.”

Taemin Kang answered without hesitation.

“If you can anticipate, you can also prepare.”

He looked back at Seol Ga-eun, who was on the phone. If Hands had a twisted fatherly infidelity stronger than Seol Gyu-jin, she could be a sufficient deterrent.

Kang Tae-min asked her for cooperation. The answer was unexpected.

“I, too, will fight.”

“… fighting?”

Taemin Kang looked at her nodding.

Seol Ga-eun’s eyes were different from before. It wasn’t always a nice, gentle, smiling face.

“I can recover, so there is no need for acting. As long as you don’t die.”

He expressed his will to withstand torture as well as bait. Kang Tae-min did not reject her will.

‘Revenge is the right of the victim.’

Seol Ga-eun also had a reason to take revenge on Hands.

* * *

“Cheer, cooer… .”

Hands groaned in agony. His pupils twitched.

‘Why… ?’

Blood leaked out from the spot where the magic bullet passed through. Unknowingly, he tried to block it with his palm, but it was not enough.

I lost strength in my legs. I tried to hold on somehow.

“Keep it… !”

With the second gunshot, he eventually collapsed. However, the gun pointed at him did not go anywhere else.

“Ga-eun… Why… .”

Hands managed to get his voice out. Seol Ga-eun shed tears at him.

However, the emotion revealed was anger, not sadness.

“Do you know how much I expected?”

She opened her mouth in a voice mixed with crying.

“I thought it was all because of me. I thought it was because of me that my parents broke up.”

Before I grew up, my father was gone. Mother did her best not to feel that vacancy, but the best did not mean flawless.

Thanks to that, Seol Ga-eun matured early. I was able to pretend nothing was wrong for my mother.

– Gaeun is really mature.

-How nice it would be if our child was like Ga-eun.

She always had to be a smiling and cheerful child so her mother wouldn’t worry.

– My mother is only my daughter.

That was enough. she gave up her greed I hoped that only the happiness I enjoy now would continue.

Meanwhile, Hands approached. gave her hope It made me expect a better family than I do now.

“It was all because of you… !”

But he’s the culprit behind everything. The feeling of betrayal Seol Ga-eun felt was indescribable.

“no… Hey… .”

Hands denied it.

‘I am the real Seol Gyu-jin. I am your father.’

He had more souls. He is different from the guy who abandoned his family.

‘You are my family.’

Only he can ‘own’ his family.

Hands was so completely twisted that he didn’t even realize he was twisted.

So he desperately turned around.

“me… save… .”

He asked for help from his clone, who was confronting Kang Tae-min.

“Don’t get me wrong.”

However, the request was ignored. The tone of the cloned Kang Tae-min was cold.

“I fight to be the only one, not for you.”

The hatred for the villain was the same. If Hands was dying, there was no reason to help.

“no… this is not… .”

Hands crawled on the floor.

It was getting colder. Bodily sensations were gone. Death was approaching him.

But there was no escape.

‘Has ownership disappeared?’

When Hands died, Kang Tae-min could feel it. The hostility he felt from the cloned self disappeared and all attacks stopped.

It was clear that the barrier area was lifted and the obsession with ‘uniqueness’ disappeared.

“This doesn’t feel very good. To play in the hands of villains.”

The cloned Kang Tae-min spat out bitterly and reached out to the original.

“Back please.”

“Are you also thinking the same?”

It’s not just a clone, it’s a clone that can use its abilities. Considering its usefulness, this situation is not bad either.

However, both reached the same conclusion.

“There is no guarantee that I will not change.”

It was because of the fact that he was made of seed-tainted mana, and the possibility that he might go a different path from the original like Hands.

Kang Tae-min respected the clone’s opinion. The clone cut his own hair and gave up restoring it.

If it went as it should, half of his soul would be lost, but Kang Tae-min was different.

‘It’s a relief that there is a Bloody Jade.’

He retrieved his soul from the clone’s body through the Blood Seed.

And they identified Hands’ body. Perhaps because the barrier area was lifted, his body turned into powder and was scattered.

‘… This?’

Between the scattered souls, Kang Tae-min found a familiar haze. As seen in Do Jin-woon’s body, the black and sticky kind.

It was a trace of witchcraft.

Taking it as before, the memory seeped into it.

-Why are you trying to help me?

It was Hands’ voice.

He was watching a child from afar. Although he was a small child, he had a familiar face.

‘Is Seol Ga-eun’s childhood?’

At this time, it must have been a time when he had not yet absorbed much of Seol Gyu-jin’s soul.

So it seemed that he was just watching to avoid being discovered.

-Someone has to change the world.

A strange voice followed. When he turned around, there was a figure of a person in turbid colors in front of him.

– Now the world has no value.

-But isn’t it something the Head can do himself?

‘As expected, the head had no name.’

At Hands’ question, Head shook his head.

-Unfortunately, this is not ‘permitted’ to me.

– Permission, whose…

– Well, you’d better forget about this.

Cloudy colors cover the field of view and make it dark. Then it comes out of memory.

“Huh… Hueup… .”

The sound of heavy breathing caught in his ears. Looking back, Seol Ga-eun’s complexion was pale.

“Take a slow, deep breath.”

It was her first murder.

Although he was a villain, he was a figure who took on the form of his father. I surrendered myself to the muddy stream of anger, but now everything is over.

Seol Ga-eun followed Kang Tae-min’s voice. There was nothing else to rely on now.

“Do you regret it?”

After calming down a bit, Kang Tae-min asked. She shuddered and trembled, but her mouth did not come off.

‘Really dead… .’

Hands’ body has already disappeared. But the last image was clearly entrenched in her mind.

The shaking didn’t stop. I didn’t feel well. It felt like vomiting would pour out at any moment.

A cold metal hit her shoulder.

“ah… .”

Strangely, however, Seol Ga-eun was not unfamiliar with that touch. Turning around, the iron man was looking at her.

“You are a good person.”

“… Yes?”

Seol Ga-eun barely raised her voice.

“That’s why I’m not suited for this kind of thing.”

“… It was something I had to do.”

“It didn’t have to be you.”

Kang Tae-min grabbed the mana pistol, which she still held in her hand, gripped so tightly that her palms turned white without realizing it.

“Do not fight evil for good.”

“ah… .”

The Mana Pistol disintegrated in an instant and was absorbed into Kang Tae-min’s body.

“Because it’s enough just not to become a villain.”

Seol Ga-eun looked at her empty hand. Kang Tae-min lightly tapped her on the shoulder.

“Isn’t your family waiting for you? Just go back.”

“… Yes.”

Seol Ga-eun nodded. And leaned against his chest. I was tired when the tension was released.

The touch of the cool metal cooled his body, which had been heated with anger.

* * *

dark cave.

“Ugh, what kind of trouble is this?”

A slender woman in a doctor’s coat grumbled in a shrill voice. In front of her lay a wide stone that had been cut straight.

On it lay Pete, a man without eyelids.

“Ugh… !”

“Shh, I don’t like loud things.”

On the other side was another stone, and a man was tied to it.

It was clear from the appearance that he did not come here voluntarily.

“Soon it will be over. It’s better to show patience like an adult!”

She smiled and thrust her hands into the two of them. Surprisingly, her hands penetrated the bodies of the two without any trauma.

“Turn it off!”

However, the results were contradictory. The man screamed away, and Pete’s expression softened a little.

Then, the man’s body began to melt and lose its shape.

“Hmm, after all soul fusion is too difficult!”

She wrinkled her nose and shook her head.

<Torso.>

A strange voice came from behind her. But she, Torso, smiled broadly and turned her head away.

“head!”

<Hands has died.>

“Huh? Is it real?”

<Yes, that’s really sad.>

Contrary to what he said, Head did not change his tone.

<There was a problem with seed improvement.>

“OMG… Things got complicated.”

<Yes. So for the time being, Torso will have to take care of the improvement.>

“Ugh, I want to kill Hands twice.”

<It may be slow, but Torso’s fusion ability produces better results. Then I’ll leave it to you.>

“If Head says so, I understand. I will try my best!”

<Yes. For the time being, it’s better to be on your own. I’ll pass it on to other fitters.>

The young noise on the screen disappeared. Torso shrugged and turned around.

In front of her, people mixed with rocks were weeping. It was the torso that kept them here, and the only thing that could get them out.

“Who will come next, Son?”

Pete’s recovery required more souls, more sacrifices than that.

* * *

Kang Tae-min took Seol Ga-eun to the president’s office.

“Ga-eun… !”

“mom… .”

Lee Young-mi, who was restless, hugged her daughter as soon as she saw her arrival. But before long, she shook Seol Ga-eun’s shoulder mercilessly.

“Are you crazy? Why don’t you go there, go there! What if something happens… !”

“But… .”

“Don’t do that again! okay!?”

“okay.”

Seol Gyu-jin expected his daughter to follow Kang Tae-min, and he was right.

While the two mothers and daughters were doing this, Seol Gyu-jin thanked Kang Tae-min.

[I felt that my alter ego was dead. Maybe it’s because I don’t have many souls left, so the shock wasn’t that big.]

The soul possessed by Hands was converted into mana by Kang Tae-min through Blood Siok. Unfortunately, Blood Shiok could only absorb, but could not release the soul.

[Thank you, thank you very much.]

“Thank you so much for watching over my daughter… .”

Lee Young-mi also finished the bruise and bowed to Kang Tae-min. He made no reply.

‘Doesn’t he really care that I hid my identity?’

Indeed it was.

Anonymity and camouflage belonged to the normal axis for the two people who went through a period of cataclysm.

Seol Ga-eun thought of him as a benefactor, so he did not ask about his identity.

[Thanks to you, I can die without regret.]

Kang Tae-min was about to leave at the message from Seol Gyu-jin. The rest was because I thought it was a family affair.

“no.”

At that moment, everyone turned their eyes to the interrupted voice. Seol Ga-eun stood in front of Seol Gyu-jin with determined eyes.

“Dad, I can cure it.”

“Ga-eun… .”

Lee Young-mi said in a sad voice. She was also an Awakener in the healing world and used her abilities as soon as she saw Seol Gyu-jin.

However, the body that had already collapsed was impossible to recover. Because of this, Seol Ga-eun’s words sounded like a pathetic denial, rejecting reality.

However, only Kang Tae-min thought differently.

‘Is there a way?’

It was because she felt confident in the determination she showed when she asked him.

“mom. Actually, my awakening is not a healing-type ability.”

“… what?”

Seol Ga-eun’s gaze soon turned to Kang Tae-min.

“I will repay you somehow for this. But I don’t think I can help if I don’t know my abilities properly. So please watch it together.”

Instead of explaining, she manifested her abilities. When the green mana emitted from Seol Ga-eun’s body stretched like a thread, an amazing thing happened.

“no… .”

[how?]

It was Seol Gyu-jin’s body that could not be undone despite Lee Young-mi’s ability and Bae Seung-joo’s many efforts.

But isn’t that green mana again forming body tissues?

‘The mana did not permeate the body.’

Kang Tae-min was also surprised.

I definitely thought Seol Gyu-jin’s death was an inevitable thing that even he couldn’t change.

‘What about this ability?’

It wasn’t just a recovery ability.

Everyone’s questioning eyes were poured on Seol Ga-eun. Before long, she sweated and reaped her powers.

“… Did you see it?”

“Ga-eun, what the hell is this, how is it?”

Lee Young-mi could not hide her excitement at the fact that her collapsed body had been restored.

“Not right away, but Dad can recover.”

She explained her abilities.

“My ability can turn back time.”

Seol Ga-eun was able to reverse the target’s time.
