Min Ah-rin, who was staring at Abel with a complicated expression behind me, opened her mouth with a gloomy voice.

Even though she knows we are here she cant wake up.

I felt the cold air on my skin. Like me, all of the team members looked at Abel, who was lying unable to move.

Most of the dolls were cut off with my intervention ability, so I had to kill Abel before they could be reconnected, but it wasnt easy to make a decision.

This was a situation no one expected. It was very difficult for me to speak, even though I knew what Abel had been up to and what she had done to Cheon Sa-yeon. I frowned and lowered my head.

Still

I have to. I couldnt back off. Even if Abel was such a young girl and she was in a state of no resistance Thinking about the future, I had to end Abel here.

Han Yi-gyeol.

It was then when I bit my lip and took a step closer to Abel. A cold hand gently grabbed my wrist.

When I looked up, I saw Cheon Sa-yeon with a light smile.

Its okay.

Cheon Sa-yeon

Stay back.

What?

Cheon Sa-yeon with a sword passed by me. I didnt feel even the slightest hesitation from Cheon Sa-yeon who was walking towards Abel.

Noticing what he was about to do, I stood in front of Abel and hurriedly grabbed his arm, which raised his sword.

Wa, wait. Wait a minute

When I met his black eyes, my heart became so heavy that it hurt.

I know I have to kill Abel. And the fact that only then could our situation get better. Above all, thinking the painful times that Cheon Sa-yeon had to go through, this choice was the best.

However I didnt want this burden to be carried by Cheon Sa-yeon. Abel couldnt move her body and that she couldnt be killed because she was a girl much younger than us That wasnt the problem.

I knew instinctively. If I let Cheon Sa-yeon killed Abel, he would have to live with one more painful and unforgettable memory of her. It was terrible for Cheon Sa-yeon, who was barely holding on because he already had a lot of burdens on his back.

I didnt feel comfortable that I had to let him take revenge to Abel because he had suffered a lot so far. I and Cheon Sa-yeon knew all too well that dying and killing someone wasnt the answer because we had already lived through one more life.

I contorted my eyes. Not knowing what conclusion to make, I opened my mouth to persuade Cheon Sa-yeon, who was about to wield the sword against Abel at any moment.

Maybe there is another way.

How can you carry this burden you dont need to carry

As I was talking with a desperate heart, I realized something. Where did I hear what I was just about to say?

After killing her? Do you think you can handle that weight, Han Yi-gyeol?

The sensation of the hand holding the hard knife handle came to mind. The face of Kwon Se-hyuns face, who was looking at me with a sad expression on the other side.

You dont have to carry this burden. I mean

The unfinished and scattered voice was surprisingly similar to the present me.

Ah

It was only then that I understood why Cheon Sa-yeon held me. Cheon Sa-yeon also smiled bitterly with a sign of noticing what I had realized.

In the space made of my past, Kwon Se-hyun ended up putting a knife into his stomach. I couldnt expect that now.

If someone had to kill Abel

It was better for me to kill her rather than Cheon Sa-yeon. For times like this, I saw a book about Cheon Sa-yeons past and followed him all the way here.

There was no one else to do it except me and Cheon Sa-yeon. There was no way I could ask other team members to kill a little girl.

But Im different. My life wasnt clean enough to feel guilty about killing someone by now.

Cheon Sa-yeon, I

Ill do it.

The moment I opened my mouth after having a hard time arranging my head, Ha Tae-heon stepped forward with a firm expression.

The eyes of the team members were focused on Ha Tae-heon. Ha Tae-heon, who looked around at Cheon Sa-yeon, who narrowed his eyes in turn, raised the sword he was holding.

Han Yi-gyeol. Do you remember the power of this sword you gave me?

If the power

In America, a producer named Edward checked the sword at your request.

I nodded my head unsciously at those words, then I remembered Edwards explanation passing through my head and opened my eyes wide.

An SS-class sword obtained from inside the gate we went to with Elohim. If the sword pierced the heart, the energy surrounding the heart would be cut off and the ability disappeared. She would become an ordinary person, not a talented person.

Are you trying to use the power of your sword?

Yeah. Its perfect for testing.

I thought about it for a while, then meekly gave the seat to Ha Tae-heon. For now, that was the best way. Cheon Sa-yeon also didnt stop Ha Tae-heon, who strode toward Abel, perhaps he had the same opinion.

The sword shone blue, letting out its energy, as Ha Tae-heon was standing in front of Abels bed. At the same time, a harsh and sharp voice resounded to the point that it felt uncomfortable.

/What? Are you going to stab me with that?/

/Im scared, cant you even see my poor self?/

In the meantime, as if the energy was reconnected, the dolls lying on the floor started to spit out words one by one. The surrounding dolls criticized Ha Tae-heon for holding the sword.

/You are trying to kill a child who cant even resist!/

/You will cut my throat with that knife and the blood pour out! A disgusting hypocrite!/

/Disgusting! Disgusting!/

/The whole world should see this!/

/Do you think you guys can be saviors after this? Dirty worms!/

Ha Tae-heon ignored all the ridicules and raised the blue-coloured sword. The pointed tip of the sword was placed just above Abels heart.

/Do you think killing me will end this time?/

/Kill me! Its over when time goes back!/

/No, no, no, no!/

/I dont want to die, I dont want to die, I dont want to die/

/Im scared, damn it, kill me! No, no, put it away now!/

Voices shouting to kill her and voices trembling in fear were mixed up in a mess. The dolls were crawling at Ha Tae-heons feet, pouring out their emotions with different emotions.

They are dolls that Abel made for her solely to excrete her own feelings.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who watched everything with an expressionless face, spoke softly.

Even if the words are contradictory, they must all be Abels true feelings.

It was an unreal sight. A skinny little girl lying in bed, a man with a sword in front of her, and dolls crawling on the floor crying.

Ha Tae-heon, who had been quietly listening to the screams that disturbed his ears, opened his mouth.

Noisy.

Ha Tae-heons black eyes shone blue due to the energy emanating from the sword. He twisted his corner mouth and gave a cool laugh.

The disgusting hypocrite is you, not us, the victims.

Ha Tae-heon, who followed Cheon Sa-yeons words to Abel at the gate of the D45 Area, put the sword into her heart without hesitation.

Kkigigigigik!

!

A blue light flashed with an unidentified noise.

As I reflexively covered my face with my arm, I felt a cold energy bursting out with a strong wind, as if an explosion had occurred.

Ha Tae-heon, who endured the explosion of energy, was seen through the fluttering hair. Although the blue shining sword was clearly pierced into the opponents chest, it was pulled out without leaving a single wound. The letter Cain engraved on the blade sparkled particularly clearly.

Ha Tae-heon lowered his sword and carefully looked at Abel. Silence settled in the room filled with the chatter of the dolls. The doll no longer spoke or moved.

Did it succeed?

Taking a deep breath at Min Ah-rins worrying question, I answered instead of Ha Tae-heon.

Yes. All the energy is gone.

Abels energy was no longer felt anywhere. Even if I check with my intervention ability just in case, the thread made of Abels energy didnt appear.

As a result, Abel became an ordinary person, no longer a talented person.

No. She isnt an ordinary person.

Abel was still lying with her eyes closed. Only an oxygen respirator placed on her face and an electrocardiogram attached to her body told us she was still alive. Abels life when she couldnt handle her dolls with her ability was likely over.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was next to me, also just looked at Abel without saying a word. How did Cheon Sa-yeon feel now as he watched the end of the enemy who he had been fighting endlessly in the time that had been repeated over 200 times? It must be so complicated that I couldnt even imagine.

Its over now.

We wanted to wait for Cheon Sa-yeon to pull himself together, but we couldnt do it yet.

El said he would open a passageway for us to escape after the fight with Abel was over. Soon there will be a passageway and through that, we can go out

Han Yi-gyeol.

Ha Tae-heon, who raised his eyebrows, grabbed my shoulder.

Remove your energy. Someone is coming.

!

As soon as Ha Tae-heon finished speaking, I also sensed an unfamiliar energy. Ten, no more than twenty people. There was also a strong energy.

I had a bad feeling. As soon as I hid Kwon Se-hyuns energy, my body rapidly shrunk and my vision lowered.

Hu, ugh

When Kwon Se-hyuns energy, which had been helping me to endure the spirit that had reached the limit, disappeared, my eyes quickly became blurred. Park Geon-ho supported my shaky body.

At the same time as I returned to Han Yi-gyeol, the door opened as the sound of sharp heels approached.

Oh my God, what is this?

A woman who swept away the pale purple hair that ran down her shoulder opened her mouth with a proud tone.

The rats have been hiding here.

Behind Azazel, people in black masks rushed in. They were Praus Cult.
