Ben the Wrong One
Ben pulled himself together.
Funnily enough, thanks to my previous experience, I was able to swing my sword even with a hole in my shoulder.
Knock knock.
As I lightly stomped my foot and stabbed the auror in, the woman backed away in disgust.
“Tough guy.”
Perhaps because the fight was prolonged, the woman’s face gradually became fiercer.
At first, she was quite beautiful, but wrinkles gradually appeared on her beautiful skin, and spiderweb-like lines appeared on her skin.
The woman was eroded in an instant, her arms covered by a black shell.
‘nonetheless···.’
Ben glanced down, then quickly raised his gaze.
Despite her erosion, the woman’s fighting skills were not all that great.
If he hadn’t been injured and if the woman’s chest hadn’t been so large, the fight would have been over in no time.
The aura was almost as bright as a candle compared to the beginning, but Ben was satisfied that it was still there.
He raised his right arm again, aimed his sword at the woman’s forehead, and slightly extended his right foot.
Knock knock.
And he moved his body lightly back and forth to break the sense of distance.
Every time I ran, I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder, but that actually helped me stay sane.
“You’ve shed so much blood, so why aren’t you collapsing? You hypocrite!”
Ben laughed bitterly at the word ‘hypocrite’ the woman used.
‘It doesn’t fall down···.’
Ben twisted his wrist and thought of his friend.
Compared to his memorable battles, this one didn’t even count as one of his injuries.
There was something he had boasted about there, so he couldn’t fall down even if he died.
‘This time is different!’
As Ben made his resolve, the woman nervously picked at the powder that had fallen from her cheek.
At that moment, the woman’s gaze left Ben for a moment.
It was an obvious opportunity.
Ben took a deep breath and put more strength into his left foot.
As soon as my left foot touched the ground, I kicked my right foot hard, and with the little aura I had left, I moved forward in an instant.
Knock knock-.
Ben, who arrived right in front of the woman in two steps, forced his gaze, which was constantly going down, to stay between her eyebrows and stabbed her with his sword.
‘This is the end.’
The woman’s shocked face that he noticed too late, the power he felt in her hand, and the moment the sword with little remaining aura aimed at the woman’s forehead. Ben felt victory.
‘This time was really different, my friend!’
Ben imagined himself bragging to Aaron, showing him that the last two times were careless mistakes, that he could take down the devil alone.
at that time.
Boom!
Something hit Ben.
It wasn’t a woman, because the woman moved her arms belatedly, as if she was flustered.
Ben, who was caught off guard by the blow, flew quickly and crashed into the wall. The intense pain in his back made his mind blurry and blood gushed out from inside him.
Ben stared straight ahead, blood gushing from his mouth.
There was a man next to a woman whose face was very wrinkled.
A condensed black orb in the hand of a man wearing a black hood.
The unconscious Young-ae was dangling from the man’s shoulder.
‘The bone is gone.’
Ben tried to move after seeing Youngae, but only pain arose and his legs would not move.
I barely managed to keep from falling, but I could only stand.
Soon, the man threw the black sphere in his hand at Ben. It was so slow that it made Ben yawn, but Ben couldn’t dodge it.
Ben was pushed by a huge force and fell through the wall.
Ben looked up at the dark sky as he fell.
‘···This time, I really won.’
Ben, who was so resentful but couldn’t scream because of the blood flowing back, soon fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Why does Aaron’s disappointed look come to mind?
‘I won···.’
Ben muttered one last time and lost consciousness.
***
“I will chew every single bone you have. I will collect all your blood and use it as my bathwater-.”
‘You’re really angry. Why are you making a fuss about taking on the knight alone…’
Hartun clicked his tongue.
After meeting the ‘Knight Hunter’, the crimson darkness went on a rampage, insisting that he would be the only one to face the knights, and he ended up doing it anyway.
The jealous ‘Crimson Darkness’ was a woman who would only feel better if she did the same to someone else.
‘It’s fortunate that they didn’t go on a rampage… I guess I’ll just leave it like this. But the knight hunter hasn’t arrived yet, so if I want to deal with the other troops…’
Hartrun, who had gathered his thoughts, caught the crimson darkness that was about to jump down the broken wall.
“I have to go.”
“Shut up! I’m not leaving until you grind that bastard’s bones and smear powder on my face!”
“The master will be angry.”
“···.”
As soon as I said the word ‘Master’, the crimson darkness that had been running wild like a beast suddenly became docile.
Hartun headed towards the door with a small sigh of relief.
A crimson darkness followed him, muttering curses.
‘But there are fewer troops than I thought.’
As Hartun began to feel a sense of uneasiness, he noticed that one of the hallways was blocked.
“The demons have really infiltrated.”
“Yes, that woman was right.”
No, looking closely, I saw that there was a man so big he filled the hallway, and another man who was thin and tall.
‘What is this?’
Hartun stared at him with narrowed eyes.
“By the way, how did Nova know? Aaron, did that guy say that?”
“That guy is a total rascal, but he keeps his promises, so I don’t think that’s right. There seems to be another way, but I’m not sure yet.”
Hartun was dumbfounded at the sight of them talking so calmly in front of him.
However, Hartun did not act rashly and quickly checked the surroundings. There must have been other additional troops.
“Anyway, since you’re turning a blind eye, let’s do it moderately. There’s nothing more unsightly than a retired old man getting involved in a game with young children.”
“yes,”
Scar’s Abby Jackson relaxed her body as she watched the two young men glaring at her as if she was in disbelief and Young-ae being kidnapped by them.
***
Despite the chaos, Cassady Castle was quiet.
The warlocks were dealt with when I went out with the heretic inquisitor, and the demons that had infiltrated were on the inner side, so the outer residents were sleeping without a care in the world.
‘Is it good?’
It felt strangely unfair, but it was better than the residents having to rise up and cause a fuss.
These guys start going crazy whenever the devil is involved and the whole city gets into an uproar.
I ran through the dark streets with the inquisitor to gather my thoughts.
‘There’s something about the dark red darkness and heart on the inner side. A guy called the Knight Hunter was supposed to come there, but he suddenly said he didn’t come.’
As a knight hunter…
The nickname was quite brutal.
It was clear that he was no ordinary man if he was hunting knights.
When you are running towards introversion like that.
At the three-way intersection, I met a huge guy who was struggling while sweeping his chin.
The only person bigger than me was the sheriff, and this guy was bigger than the sheriff.
When I faced him, I instinctively felt his strength.
‘A devil? No, it’s a prosecutor.’
The shabby handle of the sword hanging from his waist was worn, and his right forearm was strangely thick and held tightly, making him think he was a swordsman.
I grunted and released my hand, grabbing the sword’s handle.
I tried to gauge the numbers against my opponent, but there wasn’t enough information.
At best, he’s right-handed and his arms are long.
Judging by his size and momentum, it was clear that he would be skilled, but you never know what a match will be like until you actually face him.
There was no way I wouldn’t remember someone of that size, so there was a chance that he was the ‘knight hunter’ he was talking about.
I gave a quick glance to the inquisitor next to me.
She nodded at my glance, her expressionless face typical of manners.
I nodded along with him.
“Look, I have a question for you.”
The man raised his hand as if he was really glad to have met her.
“Yes, sir.”
I approached him with a bright smile, my hand close to the hilt of my sword, pretending to lean on my waist.
And it stopped at a position slightly shorter than the combined length of the man’s arm and the sword’s length as estimated by eye.
It was a bit awkward for my opponent to swing his sword, but it was an easy distance for me to draw my sword.
“Do you happen to know where the inner self is? I must have taken the wrong path.”
The man’s question made my head spin.
To begin with, Cassidy Castle was a place that was difficult to get lost in even if you wanted to get lost on purpose because it was small in scale.
If the other person was not joking, it was clear that there was a serious level of ignorance. And the serious look in the other person’s eyes did not suggest that he was joking.
‘The reason the knight hunter he mentioned disappeared was because he couldn’t find the way?’
It was a ridiculous reason, but there were a lot of weird people in the Middle Ages to begin with.
The Middle Ages was a time when there were many people like that: a man who only drew his sword on the day he pooped, and a wizard who didn’t use magic on the day he slept.
After checking the situation, I rolled my head.
It seemed like I could wisely get through it without having to risk my life fighting.
If your nickname is Knight Hunter, then it’s better to deal with it as a knight, so there was no need for me to step forward.
And one of the guard’s duties was to help visitors find their way around.
Of course, it was a valuable kindness extended when a considerable amount of goodwill was received, but I decided to be flexible.
“Oh, sir. You’re lost. Cassidy Castle is so complicated that quite a few people get lost.”
“That’s right. What kind of neighborhood is this crooked?”
Compared to the city, Cassady Castle was nothing more than a cute miniature, but I didn’t bother to point it out.
“Yes. The structure of Cassidy Castle is different from other places, so it is difficult to find the inner castle. You are very lucky to have met me. I will find the right way again.”
As I spoke quickly, the man nodded with an indifferent expression.
“Cathedic Castle is not built on the inner wall. The old lord thought it was insulting to live in the same castle as the commoners, so he built a new one outside. If you go straight along the road over there, you will come to the main gate. After going through the main gate, turn left and continue straight, and you will come to a very large castle. That is the inner wall of Cathedic Castle. Sir.”
I held my breath and explained long and fast, holding the sword hilt. I didn’t know if I could fool him, but I could try it once and if it didn’t work, I could just pull out the sword.
“Oh, I see. If it weren’t for you, I would have been in big trouble. Thank you very much.”
“No need to mention it. It’s my job, sir.”
She smiled brightly and nodded, and the man nodded slightly in return.
I stepped aside slightly and the man walked in the direction I had indicated.
As the man passed by, I quickly looked him up and down, looking for an opening.
Even though he was wearing casual clothes, his bulging muscles looked like they were wearing armor.
I tried to suppress my feelings because even if I pulled out my sword, I didn’t think I could handle it with just one swing.
The man suddenly stopped and looked back.
At that, I hastily gave him a businesslike smile and tapped the handle of my sword.
“Oh, by the way, are you a knight?”
The man’s questions convinced me that he was a ‘knight hunter’.
“Ah- No way. He’s just a security guard. This guy is my subordinate.”
“···?”
The inquisitor tilted his head, but did not open his mouth to deny it.
“Thank goodness. There’s no way such a kind young man could be a knight. Well then, good night.”
The man nodded slightly and walked on.
‘This is the wisdom of modern man. Ignorant medieval bastards.’
The man nodded, looking in the direction where he had disappeared.
The inquisitor next to him nodded along.
‘Why is he nodding?’
I hesitated for a moment, but decided not to ask and headed back towards the castle.
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard screaming loudly.
“You little brat! Father! You little brat!”
For a moment, my head throbbed at the thought of the hateful voice proudly shouting out such immoral content and the fact that it was directed at me.
I turned towards the voice and soon came face to face with a weasel running around, sweating all over its body.
“Ten… No, Father!! We’re in trouble! We’re in trouble!”
The weasel ran in front of me and shouted while wiping the sweat from its forehead.
“What’s going on?”
“That… monster! A big guy like my father entered the castle! Brother Grass and I tried desperately to stop it – shooting arrows and pouring hot oil on it, but it still managed to get through the castle?! Brother Grass even fainted after being attacked by it!”
When I heard the weasel’s story, I could roughly predict what would happen.
Despite its snake-like appearance, the grass was a godly creature, and would have thought of fighting back even if it had come face to face with a man.
‘But if I had been hit by that guy, I wouldn’t have just fainted…’
Then I saw the weasel avoiding my gaze and whining like a dog that needs to poop somewhere.
‘This kid hit the back of the head with a full head of hair this time.’
He understood the situation right away.
There was no need to rush into something I couldn’t handle and end up dying, but I felt a needless itch in the back of my head.
“I already took care of that guy.”
“···Huh? Is that the huge guy?”
“uh.”
“As expected, Brother! I believed that you were the strongest of the ten… no, father! The hope of Castle Cassidy! The shield! Guard leader Aaron!”
He opened his eyes wide and then suddenly changed, waving his hands in disbelief at the weasel who was flattering him without even licking his lips.
“Okay, let’s head to Naeseong.”
“Shall I go with you?”
“of course.”
“This damn thing… No! Of course I planned to go! I’ll go to hell with you, Father!”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him making a face like he had eaten shit and then clenching his fists and yelling loudly.
I looked to the side and saw the heretic inquisitor looking back and forth between me and the weasel with wide eyes.
‘Why is he like this again?’
I nodded my head vaguely because I didn’t really want to know.
The heretic inquisitor nodded, his mouth still open as if he was about to say something. This time he nodded twice, much louder than before.
It seemed like I had my own intentions and rules, but I didn’t want to worry about them, so I nodded and moved on.
The wide open inner door looked uneasy.
‘Ben. This kid… right?’
I shook my head and tried to ignore the thought that suddenly occurred to me.
***
“Ugh-.”
A familiar figure appeared in the grass in front of Yeongju Castle. Blood was flowing out of the hole in his left shoulder, and his body was shaking slightly.
Still, he didn’t let go of the sword he was holding in his hand, even though he was a loser who was gasping for breath. Of course, he still looked like a loser.
“This isn’t a human kid. Really.”
“···Brother, I spoke outside.”
Looking at Ben’s face, which was as pale as a corpse, I was sure he couldn’t hear me.
He shook his head at the weasel’s words and took out two bottles of potion from his bosom. He poured one generously on Ben’s hollow shoulder and sprinkled the other evenly over the guy’s body like pouring alcohol on a graveyard.
“You stay here and watch her.”
“Yes! I understand! I will risk my life to complete the mission assigned to me!”
At my words, the weasel’s face instantly widened.
‘A see-through brat.’
He clicked his tongue and looked up at Yeongju Castle.
Although he was a baron, he had been living here for a long time, so the size of the lord’s castle was not small.
These guys here consider living in high places to be a symbol of power, so they constantly make efforts to get higher.
As magic was added to it, there were quite a few strangely shaped buildings. However, Cassadic Castle was relatively normal.
An angular, square shape made of brown sandstone.
It had a rough appearance, but it looked sturdy.
Shouts erupted from all over the castle.
‘My inner self is also fucked up.’
As I was clicking my tongue, a crimson fire burst out from above the castle.
‘Is that the crimson darkness?’
That’s a really cool nickname. My old nickname was…
He clicked his tongue slightly, readjusted his grip on his sword, and headed into the castle.
The inquisitor who was half a step behind me slid his greatsword back onto his back and drew his mace.
It was a wise choice, as the interior of the castle was so narrow that two people could barely pass side by side.
I moved quickly as if I was running through a corridor that was built entirely of stone and gave off a cool feeling.
Since there was no light, it felt like I was in a demon castle rather than a lord’s castle.
‘How can I live in such a stuffy place?’
As I climbed the narrow, round staircase, I saw a familiar face.
“Oh, illegitimate child square.”
“···.”
Jace was shivering in the corner of the hallway.
The bastard didn’t even respond to my calls and just kept chewing his fingernails.
‘It looks like I’ve met the devil.’
I asked the guy something, but he still didn’t respond. I gave up and hit his head hard, letting him rest.
After climbing another narrow staircase, the road opened out on both sides.
I looked back at the inquisitor, and when she nodded, I nodded along.
Then she moved to one side first.
‘I see you meant to divide.’
I stared at the opposite side of where she had disappeared, surprised that there was meaning in that nod.
The hallway was extremely dark, with only the cool moonlight shining through the occasional holes illuminating the interior.
‘It would be stranger if there were no devils.’
He walked slowly, careful not to lose focus. Then, he saw black flames in the distance.
‘You found the right one.’
A woman jumped out from between the black flames that filled the hallway. I squinted my eyes and saw that it was Yeong-ae.
Youngae was desperately running away, tears streaming down her face as if the devil was chasing her. Judging from the scratch marks here and there, it seemed like she had been through some rough times.
“iced coffee···!”
Youngae, who had found me, approached me with a relieved expression on her face as if she was still alive.
The moment I was about to kneel before him, Young-ae came into my street in an instant.
It was too close.
Looking at the tears in Youngae’s beautiful eyes and her hands trembling as if she was very nervous, it seemed like she had lost her mind due to desperation…
The distance was too close.
I decided to trust my instincts, which have helped me survive countless crises.
He moved his hand as he watched Young-ae approach him.
In the darkness, my sword drew a silver line, splitting the upper part of Youngae’s chest open and black blood pouring out like a fountain.
His cold black blood soaked my face.
“iced coffee?”
Yeong-ae seemed to be at a loss for words in the current situation, and her face was crumpled viciously as she touched the solid line drawn near her chest with her trembling hands.
At the same time, black flames shot up from behind Yeong-ae and filled the hallway.
‘I guess this is the crimson darkness.’
The woman’s skin began to melt and soon she took on a completely different appearance.
‘It wasn’t Young-ae.’
He felt a small sense of relief and readjusted his grip on the sword.
What appeared through the black flames was a woman with a very large chest and a series of small scars all over her body.
The woman’s upper chest was deeply cut, and the skin covering her body was torn off.
The woman’s large chest was clearly visible, but what caught my eye more than the chest was something hideous on the woman’s left breast.
‘The Devil’s Handprint.’
Unlike the tenant who had pumpkin-like jewel-like eyes, this one was simply shaped like a large locust with no special toppings.
I briefly thought it was a locust, but there was no way a locust that big could exist.
– It looks delicious.
‘Yeah, that looks delicious… what?’
I squinted my eyes at the tenant’s voice.
“How dare these guys! This guy and that guy! I can’t stand it anymore! I’ll kill them all! I’ll chew them all up and….”
The woman swept the blood flowing from her wound with both hands and expressed her anger. Because her breasts were so large, the wounds had widened even further when the upper part was cut off.
“I took off the skin and fried it in oil – I crushed all the bones into powder and put it on my face…”
As the woman spoke loudly of her gruesome cooking plans, the demonic handprint on her chest rapidly expanded its area.
It wasn’t as monstrously large as it had been when I was a tenant, but it had a hard, black skin like a giant tree.
As if ink had been dropped into water, starting from the left arm and gradually increasing in area.
I quickly ran forward.
There was no need to give the woman any time.
– Eat that thing you call the devil’s handprint.
‘why?’
It was the devil’s handprint that looked obviously unappetizing. In fact, when I ate it last time, it tasted horrible. I didn’t want to eat it.
– Then I can recover some of my strength. Then the duration and size of what you call an aura will also increase.
The tenant gave an unusually long explanation.
‘Is it possible to escape from the rapid fire?’
– That nickname isn’t very good either.
By then, I was right in front of the woman.
The woman was still angry and transforming.
Ironically, the woman seemed to think that he would wait for her transformation.
‘I don’t know what kind of confidence it is.’
He planted his feet firmly, pulled his waist to the limit, then turned it around sharply and added strength to his sword.
He then swung his sword with all his might towards the woman’s neck.
“this!”
The startled woman hurriedly raised her right hand.
The woman’s right hand, whose shell had not yet risen, was completely cut off. However, the sword’s speed was slightly slowed down because of this, and as the woman dodged backwards, it only slightly cut off the neck of the woman who was the initial target.
I didn’t stop there, but twisted my arm roughly and stabbed with my sword. My arm muscles screamed, but they didn’t tear, and the sword that had been cutting horizontally suddenly stopped and continued stabbing.
At that moment, the woman’s disfigured left arm struck my right shoulder. My right shoulder blade was shattered.
bang!
I was pushed back, but I still tenaciously thrust my sword in, and it cut the woman’s left cheek straight down to her right cheek.
“Ahhhh!!”
The woman’s cheek split open, revealing white teeth inside.
I flew away, smiling contentedly at the black blood splattering on my face.
Boom! My back hit the wall. I felt a huge impact on my back, and my expression crumpled, but I forced myself to ignore it and ran towards the woman again.
Once we had the momentum, we had to keep going.
As if she had lost consciousness, the woman’s eyes became dim and her left hand became completely hideous. It looked like a single large thorn with numerous thorns growing out of it.
For a moment, he was captivated by the magnificent sight of her as if she were equipping an ancient weapon on her left hand. The sight of a sensual woman equipping an ancient weapon stimulated the desire deep in the man’s heart.
‘Can you do that too?’
– Do you want…?
‘No, it’s stupid to pull something like that in such a narrow space. Get ready to pull it out.’
The woman, whose focus had disappeared, swung her hideously transformed left hand. However, ironically, due to her increased size, she was blocked by the stone corridor and was slow to move.
It was clear that the woman was not skilled in combat.
Looking at the scars all over his body, it seemed like the accumulated damage was considerable.
I quickly ran forward.
The woman who saw me closed her eyes tightly, and then something ugly that had climbed up to her neck quickly covered her face.
Perhaps, he thought that if he hid like that, there was no way for me to do anything.
‘When fighting, you have to consider all the circumstances.’
I smiled slightly and raised my sword to the left.
As if sensing danger, the crimson flames on the woman’s back grew larger. But I didn’t care.
No matter how strong the flames were, it would take longer to burn my entire body than it would take to decapitate a woman.
‘now.’
– Now I don’t have much strength left. Sucking on your dreams won’t help you recover quickly, so you must eat that devil’s handprint… I don’t even have the strength to say this…
‘This kid’s tongue is ticklish. He wants me to pay the rent.’
A blue light appeared on the sword. Two small holes appeared on the hideous thing covering the woman’s face, and the woman’s eyes appeared on it.
The woman’s eyes, filled with astonishment, were focused again.
“Huh··· How···! Were you a hypocrite!! Such a coward!!”
The woman screamed in horror at the blue light that came right up to her.
‘dissembler?’
I laughed out loud at the sight of a woman bathing in luxury even though it was the last time.
‘If it were me, I would have cursed my parents.’
I swung my heavy sword. The hideous thing that had been covering the woman’s neck was cut away as smoothly as tofu.
Soon the woman’s head was floating in the air.
The bright blue light disappeared in an instant, and the darkness that had been pushed away filled its place again.
The smell of blood mixed with the damp stone tickled my nose.
In the darkness where I couldn’t see even an inch ahead, I looked down at the woman’s body, catching my breath.
As the head flew off, the hideous thing shrank in an instant, like a parasite whose host had died.
Soon, something that had turned into a small stone was placed on the woman’s chest.
‘Is this the devil’s handprint?’
I hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked him up.
Since I was already in the same boat as the devil, I didn’t have to think long. It was better than collecting human blood.
Suddenly, I remembered things like becoming the host of a demon and losing consciousness, just like in the classic comics I read a long time ago.
‘···The devil is me?’
It was so funny I laughed.
Think briefly, act quickly.
I put it in my mouth, recalling a medieval proverb.
And it tasted fucking bad.
***
‘Stupid big guys.’
Nova walked, holding back the curses that were about to burst out.
Jackson promised to cut taxes and overlook the backroom deals he had made, but he just pretended to block them and fell backwards.
Of course, he said that he couldn’t help it because his opponents were demons and warlocks, but to Nova, who was secretly watching him, it seemed like he was just killing time and then pretending to collapse.
Of course, it was clear that I had done my job by just buying him time, but I couldn’t help feeling annoyed.
Nova followed behind them quietly.
There was nothing I could do right away, but I couldn’t just give Young-ae away like this.
She was called the Flower of the East, and her beauty made the castle rich every year on her birthday. She was not a noble child, but I couldn’t let her go because we had been close since childhood and she was like my younger sister.
However, I followed him at a distance because it would be dangerous if I got caught. I lost track of him at the fork in the road.
After thinking about it for a moment, he had no choice but to take a picture. In the end, Nova chose one and opened his eyes wide at the situation he was faced with.
Aaron was fighting the devil alone.
I knew that Aaron was good at fighting because of the shit he did, but I didn’t know he was good enough to fight on equal terms with the devil.
Nova adjusted the dagger in his hand and waited for an opportunity. Since he was behind the demon, he planned to quickly run and stab Aaron if he saw any danger or an opening.
Her hands trembled with fear, but Nova forced her eyes to focus and braced herself.
Meanwhile-.
The devil became more devilish.
‘Even if it’s Aaron, this is···.’
That was when.
Aaron’s sword emitted a blue light that filled the hallway.
Nova watched him blankly.
At the unexpected sight, I dropped the dagger in my hand.
Soon Aaron’s sword slashed at the demon’s head and the hallway became dark again.
It was an auror, clear evidence of the article.
I was sure of it because it was Nova who had seen the knight’s aura.
‘Then… Aaron is a knight?’
Nova’s head is more complicated than ever.
Nova was curious about Aaron’s past and made various inferences, but there was no article anywhere.
That’s understandable. If he’s a knight, he’s at least a quasi-noble, but that scoundrel Aaron is a quasi-noble…
I couldn’t believe it. My head was so complicated, I thought it would explode.
Then Aaron crouched down before the woman.
The hallway was so dark that I couldn’t see clearly, just the shape.
and···.
‘What is that guy doing now?’
Nova’s eyes widened as she watched Aaron reach out his hand to the chest of the fallen woman.
Aaron’s hand went up to the evil heart that clearly had made a deal with the devil.
Everything that had been filling Nova’s head until just now disappeared.
The place was filled with inexplicable anger.
Nova felt frustrated for no reason and tapped the heart protector she was wearing under her clothes with her finger.
It was clear that the heart protector was too small.
