135 – The Power of Domination
“…Ugh?”
“……..?”
As a pain-filled moan comes out of Kang Ha-neul’s mouth, a question mark appears on Himari’s face, who was sitting down in her seat with a blank expression on her face.
“Why, what’s wrong?”
– Far away…
“Ha, sky…”
Eventually, as she tried to stretch her hand forward, the river sky quietly retreated behind her.
– It’s not too late…
The sweetest voice he has ever heard in his life begins to resonate deeply in his head.
– Kill that woman in front of you right now…
“…Ugh.”
– Accept your fate… Kang Ha-neul…
Thanks to this, Kang Ha-neul’s eyes suddenly begin to glow darkly.
– Even if you return to your group now, do you think you can save those guys?
“…………”
– Rather than saving me, wouldn’t it be nice if I didn’t become a burden?
The shadow tied to the tentacle slowly stretches its body, aiming for the gap, and begins to extend its stretched body towards his back.
“…I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
– What?
“Death is the most humane punishment in the world.”
The moment the shadow reached his back, Kang Ha-neul suddenly began muttering in a low voice.
– Kkrrr…!
“Why do you keep forcing such a bland punishment on me?”
– Really?
When he raises his hand upwards, the shadow he is holding makes a cute sound and raises it high into the sky.
“Looking at what I’ve done so far, it doesn’t seem like it was meant for me. So what’s the reason?”
– Grrr
“…Is there any reason why I should kill Minamoto Himari now?”
– Grrr butt…
Hearing those words, the shadow began to smile in a low, unpleasant voice.
– I guess you don’t want to receive my power…
“……..”
– If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do. Just don’t regret seeing all your companions dying…
“Now that I think about it, this is the first time you have appeared in front of me so clearly.”
Kang Haneul, who was glaring coldly at the guy, tilts his head to the side, ignoring the words spoken by the shadow, and mutters in a low voice.
“It’s only recently that I started having problems with my abilities.”
– Grrr of…
“When I think about it, it all happened after the first murder.”
As Kang Ha-neul’s eyes flashed as he said that, the hole presumed to be the mouth of the shadow began to widen narrowly.
“…Every time I kill someone, does your influence become stronger?”
– Grumble, growl, growl…
“Do you have a habit of smiling every time the situation becomes unfavorable?”
Kang Ha-neul glanced at the guy and began to walk quietly.
– I just think this situation is funny…
“…Funny?”
-Anyway, the moment your precious, fishy girlfriend is in danger, you’ll beg me to lend you my strength… I don’t know why she’s acting like she saw through everything…
The shadow’s laughing voice continues to echo behind him.
– And, who said you could escape this place?
“……..”
– Did you think you could leave this building while still suppressing me and the Black Hand?
At that very moment, the tentacles of the river sky began to wriggle once again.
“….Ugh.”
– Just maintaining control would already be the limit, but I can’t figure out where they get so much leeway…
Now, a voice filled with overt sarcasm reaches the ears of Kang Ha-neul, who is staggering in burning pain.
– It’s your last chance. Kill the guy behind you.
“…….”
– He’s a guy worth dying for, right? If it were you now, you wouldn’t really feel any remorse…
“…Wow, it’s noisy.”
But the next moment, Kang Ha-neul quietly regained his composure and stood up.
“…I’ve already been shaken by someone enough in my life.”
– Really?
“It used to be better that way.”
As he begins to spread the tentacles inside his body with all his might, the shadow’s head quietly tilts to the side.
“…Now I want to live according to my own will.”
– That’s impossible, Kang Ha-neul…
“No, it’s possible.”
In no time, the dark complexion on Kang Ha-neul’s face had completely disappeared.
“Because now I want to live.”
– Drama? That drama…
His face, which began to pull the black hand and shadow toward him with all his might, was filled with the will to carry out what he had learned so far.
– Cough… Crack… Crack…
“…………”
– Are you out of your mind?
The shadow realized what he was trying to do and asked a question, but Kang Ha-neul was no longer listening to him.
“Kkekeuk.”
– What?
“Swallow.”
I just calmly gave orders to Kkyuk, who was sticking his head out.
– Kwirrr…
And the next moment, he started to smile and open his mouth.
– Even if you force me to swallow you, do you think you will be able to properly control your power…?
“I’m not sure, but I think we’ll be able to get out of this crisis.”
– Are you confident that you can take care of everything that happens after that?
“…I’m talking too long.”
Kang Ha-neul decisively cuts off the words of the shadow that was being dragged into the mouth of the tentacle, which accelerates the power of the tentacle.
– You will regret it, old friend…
“…Stop talking nonsense and go in.”
– That’s right, that’s right… Tsk tsk….
The next moment the shadow that had stopped resisting looked at the river sky and smiled horribly.
– Kwasik…
After swallowing the thing and the black hand in one bite, Kkyuk started blinking.
– Kwirrr~
“…Good job.”
As soon as the guy starts wagging his tail, making the cutest sound he can, Kang Haneul, who was looking down on him, pats the guy and praises him in a low voice.
– Go go go go go go…
At that very moment, black smoke began to rise from Kang Ha-neul’s entire body.
“Ha, sky…”
The moment when Kang Ha-neul, who was quietly observing the black smoke with his hand, was about to take a quick step when he heard a roar coming from far away.
“Wait…”
Minamoto Himari crawls up behind him and urgently grabs his legs.
“Oh, there’s still more I want to say.”
“…Tsk.”
“Don’t go… Sky, I’ll fix what’s wrong from now on… Wow!?”
But when Kang Ha-neul swings his leg roughly, Himari, who falls backwards, makes a blank expression.
“Oh, that’s right. Come to think of it, there was something I wanted to tell you when I see you again.”
“To me…?”
She glanced at her with a look of disgust in her eyes, and suddenly something about her came to her mind and she opened her mouth.
“The president told me to take good care of her third daughter.”
“…………!!!”
Himari’s face is shocked when she hears those words.
“I owe you something. I’m thinking of granting you that last favor.”
“Wait a minute…”
“I hope you can see it clearly with your own eyes.”
“Wait a minute…!!!!”
She stumbled and tried to get up from her seat, but she fell down shortly afterwards, perhaps due to the shock her waist received from her black hand.
“That’s a lie, right? You’re lying, right…?”
“…..”
“You know how important the group is to me, right? Sky…?”
In that state, Himari denies reality and raises her voice toward the receding river sky.

“Oh, it was a life only for the group…”
“…Ha.”
“Well, if that breaks… I, I… I…”
But her voice soon fades.
“…What am I?”
To the final question that came out in a barely audible voice, Kang Ha-neul answered quietly as he opened the door and exited the rooftop.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“…………”
“Isn’t it time to find the answer for yourself?”
After he disappeared with those words, Himari’s head quietly bent towards the floor.
“…Sky.”
She tried to look at the sky again, but her stem was already bent.
“It was my… Sky.”
Of course, this couldn’t have happened if she hadn’t been distracted by the fluorescent light shining right next to her.

Meanwhile, at that time, a walker was walking far away from the rooftop.
“Ha, ha…”
“I’m persistent. But I like it because I feel alive.
“…I’m good at one-on-one, but I’m bad at area attacks, so I’m sorry!”
Kang Ha-neul and his party, who had been struggling against the relentless influx of demonic beasts, were showing signs of fatigue and staggering.
“If it weren’t in the city… I could have shortened the time in this section…”
There was a reason why Ariel, who was the strongest among the group members, could not use her full power to minimize human casualties.
＞ Kang Haneul!! Answer me!! Strong sky!!!
Giving up half of the flight to find Kang Ha-neul, who suddenly disappeared, was also quite significant.
“…Tsk.”
Thanks to this, as the situation gets worse, Spade suddenly clicks his tongue quietly and withdraws his yo-yo.
“I knew it would be like this.”
“…………”
It was at that very moment that only Ariel was watching her suddenly change, glancing at her with cold eyes.
– Grrr, purr…
– What? That drama…
– Purr…
The demonic beasts that were rushing towards the group with their eyes rolled back suddenly stopped attacking all at once and began to lower their posture.
“Sorry, I was a little late.”
“””…….!?”””
Thanks to that, a shy voice began to be heard from behind the group, who had stopped the attack with slightly embarrassed looks.
“Isn’t anyone hurt?”
＞ Kang Haneul?
Before they knew it, Kang Haneul had reached right behind them and was scratching her head and checking on the group’s well-being.
＞ How did this happen…?
“It’s so cool…”
“…….!”
Then the companions began to stare blankly at that scene.
– That’s right, that’s right…
– Golgolgol…
This was because the true scene unfolded before their eyes, with all the demonic beasts around lying flat on their stomachs facing the sky.
