Episode 113
Arietta Morgan, in fact, has quite vague memories of her childhood.
‘… The only thing that comes to mind is that there were many very cold and hungry days.’
Arietta was once a vagrant.
Despite his young age, he wandered the streets and was busy surviving every day due to the harsh environment.
‘… … .’
As he was living each day by begging for money and sometimes stealing things, he met Myung-yul, who came to England to meet an acquaintance.
That completely changed Arietta’s life.
[Follow me. Let’s live together from now on.]
I don’t know for what reason, but Myeong-yul took Arietta particularly, and Arietta also opened her heart to that, and was reborn as a true family.
However, the very next year, without knowing the English language, Arietta suddenly collapsed and could not get up from the sick bed for a year from then.

Myungyul said it would be okay, but at the unusual reaction, Arietta was able to foretell her future inwardly.So, Arietta had given up on everything once.
however.
[Sigh, sleep. When I wake up, I’ll be able to go back home and be together like before.]
For some reason, Arietta regained her health and, on the contrary, continued her days with Myungyul again in better condition than before.
It was probably around that time that I realized that my body was different from others.
When Arietta, who could not hold back her curiosity once, asked about it, Myungyul replied:
[Okay. Having a body that is superior to other people, isn’t it also natural to be blessed? If it bothers you, you just have to use that power in the right place.]
Arietta didn’t pay any attention to it after that because it was definitely a theory, but she was vaguely aware that that wasn’t all.
And after hearing Shin Do-hoon’s unreasonable resilience and his stories, Arietta was able to vaguely realize the secret of what had happened to her.
‘Master… … .’
I didn’t do any resentment. Obviously, Myeong-yul couldn’t have watched him die as he was.
However, if he too had ceased to be a human being, he would not be able to live among others like he had done before.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw Kang-yoon Han, who was supporting and hugging me.
“Are you awake?”
There is still a sweet taste that has not gone away in the mouth, and the appetizing scent from all directions haunts the nose.
Arietta realized this and opened her mouth to Han Kang-yoon with a trembling voice.
“I asked my junior… … ?”
A liquid with an enchanting taste that melts in your mouth. Its identity was easily identified.
It was because Han Kang-yoon, who was holding him, was exuding the exact same scent.
“… … .”
At Arietta with a stiff expression on her face, Han Kang-yoon shook her head.
“Actually, it was almost watery. The blood was just intentionally spilled into the mouth to calm down. I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“👌👌 No, it was very sweet… … , that’s not it. Are you not hurt?”
“Yes. Everything is fine except for bruises.”
At Han Kang-yun’s attitude, which was more detached than expected, Arietta slowly calmed her mind and got up with support.
Then he asked Han Kang-yoon.
“… junior. After all, am I not human?”
“… … .”
“It’s the first time I’ve been in this state. However, there is no guarantee that this will not happen in the future.”
It was a reasonable thought. His body fell out of control and he attacked an acquaintance who was right next to him, and there was no way he could just let it go.
However, Kang-yoon Han did not care much and gave the answer.
“Are you going to dig that deep? There are plenty of people in the world with that particularity.”
“… Junior, this is a serious concern right now.”
“I am also serious. Because there are so many special beings in the world that I think it’s okay to be strong and recover quickly.”
“wherever?”
“I do the same thing in front of my eyes.”
When Arietta looked at her with an expression that she did not understand the English language, Han Kang-yoon shrugged her shoulders and said something meaningful.
“Even if I die once, I can live.”
“… Anyway, that’s too much of a lie.”
“I don’t talk nonsense like this.”
At that shameless attitude, Arietta lost her words and looked at Han Kang-yoon blankly.
When I do that, it seems that the worries I was holding on to myself are meaningless.
Arietta opened her mouth with a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face.
“… All right, I’ll think about it later.”
“Yes. I have work to do right now.”
According to Han Kang-yun’s testimony, Shin Do-hoon went to Myeong-yul to obtain the immortal prohibition.
If so, there was no time to sit still and ponder in a place like this.
Arietta regained her composure and gave her two feet a bit of energy again.
“Junior, I will run on the shortest route.”
“Yes. Please guide me.”
In that way, Arietta and Han Kang-yoon headed to Mt. Guryong to stop Shin Do-hun.
tyring.
【Unidentified characteristics have been recognized.】
▶【Jingwihyeol (S)】
Without even being aware of the major changes in his body.
***
The middle of Mt. Guryong.
For some reason, unlike usual, an empty school where all the popular characters have disappeared.
Upon arriving there, Shin Do-hoon could feel two familiar auras emanating from the inside.
“Hey, this must have been waiting for me.”
“… Also, are you still alive?”

Myeong-yul, who appeared in the dark room, slowly walked out and met Shin Do-hoon’s gaze.“It’s a look that really suits the word ghost.”
“👑👑. What are you talking about who ignored us even though we knew it was going to be like this?”
Shin Do-hoon, who smiled for a moment, changed his expression and threw a question to Myung-yul with sharp eyes.
“Hey, Myungyul. You were under orders from the upper echelons at the time. Am I right?”
“… Yes.”
“Then, they tried to deal with all of us, who were caught up in this week and left dead or alive, as ordered.”
“… … .”
“Yeah, up to that point, I can understand. Because you were responsible for that.”
However, right after that, Shin Do-hoon evoked intense life in those two eyes.
“But you bastard, didn’t you actually know everything? The fact that we, who were thought to be dead, are alive, and from then on, we will become experimental subjects from the upper classes and will be used for this week’s research.”
“… I haven’t heard of him either.”
It wasn’t that Myeong-yul was lying. However, Shin Do-hoon continued to speak with his eyes closed as if he was holding on to something.
“Answer me, Myungyul. Then, why did you cut off my finger, which you thought was dead that day, and keep it to this day?”
“… … .”
“Answer me correctly!”
However, there was nothing Myeong-yul could answer for him. He also didn’t know all the truth, but it was also true that he was predicting the truth a little, from one side of his heart.
“… okay. Right. Got it.”
Shin Do-hoon understood the unspoken answer, and immediately threw away his emotions and regained his composure.
“They are really disgusting. I’m enamored with the word “extension of lifespan”, and deliberately try to study it by touching sobriety. To them, we must have been just lab rats that were easy to deal with.”
“… Let me tell you, I did not cooperate with them.”
“Shut up, whatever excuses you make, you are the same.”
Shin Do-hoon gritted his teeth and snorted with indifferent eyes.
“I’ll tell you one thing, Myung-ryul.”
“… … .”
“It was none other than one of the commanders at the time of the incident, who planned this not-so-funny play and ordered you to kill you and bring back the unknown alcohol. Just like back then.”
With those words, Myeong-yul was able to roughly grasp the situation before and after.
The victims who have been attacked so far have only been an excuse to create a cause.
Although Myeong-yul’s death would be quite disturbing, even though he had resigned from the front line, he made a kind of story by touching the characters at the time of the Baekgwi Nights one after another so as not to get caught.
In the end, it was clear that the purpose was to kill himself and keep his mouth shut and to extract information about sobriety.
“… After all, does that mean that everything goes round and round?”
“I didn’t believe it at first, but the greedy bastard’s sensibilities seem pretty accurate. Isn’t it? In fact, to have stolen the alcohol and finished it, it is truly amazing.”
However, at Shin Do-hoon’s words, Myung-yul shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but this week has been cancelled. No matter how much I search, I can’t find it.”
“… Don’t lie, I’ve already seen your finished work.”
“Your boy, have you ever met Arietta?”
In an instant, Myeong-yul’s expression was greatly distorted. To that, Shin Do-hoon responded with a sullen attitude.
“It’s not really how I did it. I’m interested in the finished product, so I don’t need to touch it right now.”
“… Do not touch that child.”
“Well, how about it?”
“You guys… … !”
It was supposed to be like this anyway.
Accepting the irresistible fight, Myung-yul slowly evoked spiritual power in his body, which had been resting for many years.
“Whatever happened this way, if we don’t finish it clearly, it will be impossible for each other to understand.” “Yeah, that’s how it should be. Show off your brilliance with your old body.”
Whoops.
Whee!
When Shin Do-hoon finished speaking and raised his hand, there was a sound of destruction from inside the school, and something flew and landed on it.
It was Shin Do-hoon’s index finger, which Myeong-yul had sealed.
puddle.
Quad Duck.
A tremendous energy began to rise from Shin Do-hoon’s body, which had recovered and regenerated it.
Perhaps by recovering the fragments of his lost body, he seemed to have fully restored his imperfect power.
“It feels really refreshing. I have been waiting for this day since ten years ago.”

Myeong-yul, who sensed the power that could not be ignored, also raised the tension.So, finally, the battle began.
***
Whoops!
Aww!
quagga!
‘I’m completely dyed this week… … !’
Thirty minutes after that, the battle itself was advancing in a flow where Myeong-ryul overwhelms.
Shin Do-hoon’s body was torn apart several times by Myung-yul’s magic, and on the contrary, Myung-yul did not receive any noticeable injuries.
However, as it was repeated over and over again, the situation gradually began to change.
Whoa!
“I’m tired. Even you guys can’t lie about your age.”
“… … .”
Compared to Shin Do-hoon, who recovered by taking all the damage directly, Myung-yul was short of breath enough to recognize it at a glance.
“Why are you surprised? This is more than the karma you have caused. Many of my colleagues could not accept the power of this week and lost their existence, but I have adapted to perfection. Soon you will reach the same level as the finished product you are proud of.”
“… Heh heh, heh.”
In the end, Myung-yul, who had done all he could, collapsed on the spot. Soon, Shin Do-hun approached him and opened his mouth, aiming at Myeong-yul’s neck with a small sword.
“Even if you really broke alcohol, your head will have it all.”
“… … .”
“The moment you behead your head with this sword, all your memories will flow into me. Do you have any last words?”
However, in Myeong-yul’s face looking at Shin Do-hoon like that, there was only compassion, not fear.
“That’s not it.”
“what?”
“It doesn’t mean you haven’t gotten used to this week.”
“… What do you mean?”
Others would not have known, but Myeong-yul, who had already watched the completion of this week once, could notice it at once.
“You have just been completely absorbed in this week. Its strange regenerative power proves it. Whatever the outcome of this fight, it will soon be doomed.”
“Don’t be funny. This is just the result of reaching the completion of this week. The finished product must have the same power.”
“… Haven’t you been recovering your body all the time without the flesh and blood of humans or youkai?
What Geumju was eating was the soul of Shin Do-hoon itself.
Although he shared that fact openly, Shin Do-hoon did not accept it in the end.
“… noisy. Don’t struggle in ugliness, and just calmly pay off your sins.”
So Do-hoon, held in Shin Do-hoon’s arm, vomited a blue light in the moonlight.
And, at the exact same moment as him.
“The Palgong Seon Ha Mangju!”
A wave of strong spiritual power hit Shin Do-hoon.
