Chapter 132
"Sizuru...!?"
Yoon Sae-ah quickly moved her body backwards.
The message that came from Sizuru also came to Yoon Sae-ah in a similar way.
[The seal of lightning resists mental contamination.]
[Cannot completely resist 'fascination'.]
[Cannot completely resist 'obedience'.]
"Ugh...."
Even though she wasn't completely fascinated, for some reason, she felt like she should kneel and submit to her when she saw Sizuru disguised with an ordinary face.
"Yoon Sae-ah! Snap out of it!"
When Ariel shouted, Yoon Sae-ah quickly regained her senses and moved her body backwards.
"Oh my, where are you going?"
Tak-!
Sizuru casually spoke towards Yoon Sae-ah, swatting away Ariel's shadow hand.
Although the opportunity to easily take Yoon Sae-ah had disappeared, she didn't lose her confidence in this situation.
"She's not even Sung JiHan, and with Akari's body, I can easily defeat her."
Sizuru took out a dagger from her inventory.
A red dagger that shone unusually.
Swish!
Her skill in wielding the dagger was far inferior to Akari, the original owner of her body.
However, a red light flashed from the blade.
"Ugh...!"
Ariel's arm was cut in half, and through the gap, a crimson flame emerged.
Although she tried to regenerate her body with the power of shadows, the fire persistently burned, hindering her recovery.
"It's a good weapon."
"Thanks to the many sponsors."
Although her skills were inferior to Akari, Sizuru made up for it with her item sense.
As someone who was no different from the best player in Japan, she had all the equipment that could be obtained with money and power.
"I can't handle this alone."
Ariel quickly assessed the current situation and shouted to Yoon Sae-ah.
"Sae-ah, run away! And contact the master!"
"Ah, okay...!"
"Sae-ah~ Where are you going? Come here. Don't you miss your dad?"
"Where is dad...!"
"Hehe. From now on, you can call me mom."
Call her mom?
Yoon Sae-ah clenched her fist.
It felt like cold water was poured on her dizzy head due to the fascination.
"If I get caught here, it's absolutely not good!"
She only resisted once because of her brain, but she couldn't guarantee what would happen if she got caught again.
If she were to be captivated and obediently taken to Japan.
She might have to call that woman her real mom.
"It's better to die than that...!"
Yoon Sae-ah gritted her teeth and ran away while calling Sung JiHan.
"Uncle! Sizuru is in the underground...!"
"What?!"
Before the call ended.
"Sizuru, huh. You should call me mom. Sae-ah."
Behind Yoon Sae-ah, Sizuru approached.
She had turned transparent and materialized.
Ignoring Ariel's attack with the shadow sword from behind, she approached Yoon Sae-ah.
"This... is insane... How many items does she have?!"
The cause of that possibility was definitely the items.
Although the clothes Sizuru was wearing were just ordinary t-shirts and shorts, so they had no defense.
Even if the shadow sword tried to pierce her chest.
Suddenly, a talisman flew up from somewhere and blocked the attack.
A one-time use protective talisman that automatically blocked attacks.
The price was astronomical compared to its performance, so even top players couldn't afford to buy such an item.
Every time Arielle attacked, Sung JiHan kept popping out from within Shizuru's embrace.
"Because of our Se-ah, Mom has already lost 50 billion yen... And you're the one who has to earn it?"
Ugh.
Shizuru smiled with a sense of satisfaction as she released her ethereal form to touch Yoon Se-ah.
There was a moment of resistance, but in the end, once she was taken away, it would be over.
Yoon Se-ah was also a skilled player, but only a silver rank after all.
She wouldn't be able to escape from Sung JiHan's grasp as a diamond rank.
"...Inventory."
At that moment.
Yoon Se-ah urgently took something out of her inventory and raised both hands.
"Hmph. What are you doing?"
Initially, Shizuru laughed at Yoon Se-ah's strange behavior in the air.
"...Huh?"
When Yoon Se-ah completely disappeared, Shizuru stiffened her expression.
What the hell.
She had caught the fish.
Where did it go?
"Is it some kind of invisibility cloak?"
Shizuru urgently reached out towards where Yoon Se-ah had disappeared, but...
"...It's not there."
There was nothing, nothing to catch.
* * *
In the past, Sung JiHan gave Yoon Se-ah the Veil of Emptiness in preparation for Jin Yoo-hwa's attack.
Although it became useless after Jin Yoo-hwa died.
-Uncle. You don't need this anymore, right? I'll take it.
-No. You keep it. I don't have any use for it.
He, who had no particular use for it, simply handed the Veil of Emptiness over to Yoon Se-ah.
-Just don't hide for too long. You might get buried in emptiness.
The concealment effect of the Veil of Emptiness was remarkable.
However, due to the severe penalty, Sung JiHan had advised her to only use it when it was really dangerous.
Yoon Se-ah also, after reading the item description, tried not to use the Veil of Emptiness unless absolutely necessary.
In the end, she had only used it once during practice.
"I told you not to move..."
The world inside the veil.
It wasn't much different from the real world.
Just that everything moved about twice as fast as usual.
Yoon Se-ah watched as Shizuru reached out towards her and nervously observed, but...
Ugh...
As if passing through thin air, Shizuru's hand pierced through Yoon Se-ah's body and then returned.
"Phew."
It really works.
She sighed inwardly.
Now she just had to wait for Uncle to arrive.
Yoon Se-ah thought that way and suddenly felt pathetic.
"...I can't do anything without Uncle."
Thanks to Sung JiHan's brain and Ariel.
And thanks to the gift of the Veil of Emptiness, she was able to escape from danger.
If she didn't have any of these.
She might have already followed Shizuru to Japan, calling her Mom.
"Mom... That crazy woman..."
As she looked at Shizuru, who called herself Mom with an open mouth, Yoon Se-ah felt her blood boil.
How could she refer to herself with such a twisted mouth?
It was the first time Shizuru had seen someone who made her flesh crawl.
"If only I could defeat that woman with my own strength..."
While harboring resentment towards her enemy, Yoon Se-ah tried to calm herself.
No matter how infinite the possibilities were with patience, she had no power at the moment.
Contemplating her powerlessness, Yoon Se-ah refrained from moving.
"Uh..."
From a distance, she saw gray mist swirling and rising within the veil that was identical to the real world.
Changes were starting to occur in the world inside the veil.
As she watched it, Yoon Se-ah recalled the penalty of the Veil of Emptiness.
"Could that be... emptiness..."
* * *
Whooosh- Whooosh-
Shizuru reached out towards the direction where Yoon Se-ah had disappeared, then turned to look at Ariel.
"You... what do you know?"
"Even if I know, would I tell you?"
"You would tell me."
As she said that, Shizuru swung her dagger three times.
Whoosh...
And then Ariel's arms and legs were all cut off and began to burn.
"Consider it an honor to serve a summoner like me."
Shizuru said sincerely as she approached Ariel.
Even though her support gift was exceptional, there were significant limitations when it came to enchantment and obedience.
So normally, she wouldn't waste her enchantment on a summon like this.
"I need to take her away quickly."
In order to kidnap Yoon Se-ah, Shizuru reached out with determination to use enchantment on the summon as well.
Thud.
As she brought her hand to Ariel's face to cast the enchantment, she...
"Uh..."
Surprised, she opened her mouth wide.
"You... what are you..."
"A lowly race like you would be enchanted by me."
"Because of the difference in race...?"
With a face full of astonishment, Shizuru looked at Ariel.
Although it was her first time using enchantment on a different race, she instinctively felt an overwhelming difference in power when she opened Ariel's status window.
"This... it's not just a simple difference in race!"
Is this really the same summon that had its limbs easily cut off?
Trembling, she quickly withdrew her hand from Ariel.
"Oh... you have perceptive eyes."
Even though her limbs were cut off, Ariel spoke calmly.
Shizuru bit her lip.
It was impossible to subdue Ariel, and if she delayed any longer, Sung JiHan would come.
"...I'll have to wait for the next opportunity."
Sssss...
Her body gradually became transparent.
"See you again, daughter."
Waving her hand towards the direction where Yoon Se-ah had disappeared, she concealed her appearance.
And almost at the same time.
"Ariel!"
Sung JiHan revealed himself.
"Master. You came quickly."
Sssss...
As Sung JiHan arrived, Ariel, whose shadow power had been enhanced, stood up while regenerating her limbs.
"What happened? Where's Se-ah?!"
"She's over there."
Ariel gestured towards the empty space as if flipping something over, and Sung JiHan let out a sigh of relief.
It was good that the Void Curtain wasn't returned.
"What about Shizuru? Did she escape?"
"Yes. But I attached a shadow to her."
Ariel had also not been spared.
Earlier, when Shizuru had touched Ariel, she secretly attached a shadow.
With her power restored, Ariel closed her eyes for a moment and soon located Shizuru's position.
"Interestingly... she's in this building."
"Where?"
"On the 19th floor. Looks like she rented an apartment."
"Really? Se-ah, let's go."
When Sung JiHan called for Yoon Se-ah, she emerged from thin air.
With a vacant expression, as if her soul had left her.
Clap!
"Ah...!"
When Sung JiHan clapped in front of her, she quickly regained her senses.
"Let's go quickly. We have to subdue Shizuru before she escapes."
Sung JiHan was full of vitality.
Yoon Sae-ah had never seen her uncle so angry before.
"Am I... bothering you?"
"If a dangerous situation arises, use the barrier again. I feel uneasy leaving you here alone."
Sung JiHan said this as he embraced Yoon Sae-ah from behind.
"Hold on tight."
Whoosh!
Sung JiHan quickly escaped from the mart.
In an instant, he was outside the building.
"There it is."
He flew towards a window on the 19th floor.
Crash!
The glass shattered.
"How... How did he know?!"
Shizuru, who was packing her laptop, looked at Sung JiHan with a defeated expression.
"So fast..."
Before Shizuru finished speaking, Sung JiHan swung his black sword.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, dozens of talismans flew out from Shizuru's embrace and rose up together.
The talismans had the effect of preventing fatal injuries, and all of them disappeared with a single strike.
"Monster!"
Sung JiHan.
This human had become an even crazier monster than before.
Shizuru quickly understood the situation.
She couldn't escape this.
If this continues...
Swish!
She opened the screen of her laptop and threw the dagger she had been holding in her hand into it.
It was the red dagger that easily neutralized Ariel.
Then...
Shoo...
The dagger didn't break the screen, but was sucked into it.
"I should send the national treasure."
With those words.
Zzzip...
Shizuru's body split open, revealing her blood vessels.
Now, even the protective talismans were shattered, leaving her defenseless.
Looking at her own body, Shizuru didn't feel pain, but rather...
She said with a sense of regret.
"Oh. What a waste... How did you take control of this body? I'll die soon."
Suuuuck...
Shizuru's face, which used to be ordinary, changed.
It changed to a beautiful appearance that matched the enchantment she had shown to Sung JiHan before.
"Se-ah. If you want to see your father, come to Japan. I'll be waiting eagerly."
With those words.
Her face changed back to her original body's owner, Akari.
"Ah... I... Aaaah!"
Then, unlike a little while ago, Akari felt extreme pain.
[Where, where am I... You're Sung JiHan...!]
Unlike before, she spoke in fluent Japanese.
"What are you saying?"
[Asking where this is. It seems like a person has changed.]
"Hmm..."
It wasn't easy to see it as acting. It was an inexplicable sight.
Suuuck.
Sung JiHan put away his sword and reached out to Akari.
"Great Heal."
Then, Akari's split body began to heal rapidly.
Although she couldn't learn any more skills after All For One, she could still use the skills she had already learned.
In addition, the healing effect was greatly enhanced, so Akari, who was on the verge of death, quickly returned to normal.
[Wh-What did you do...]
"It's nothing. Your body needs to be in good condition so that you won't get hurt again."
Sung JiHan glared at Akari with a menacing look.
"I need you to spill all the information about Shizuru. Leave nothing out."
N-M
