174 – Sky Ridge (3)
– I’m going to dig it up…!
As Kang Ha-neul holds Kang Maru’s hand and begins to give strength, sparks begin to fly in all directions that were filled with darkness.
“Oh?”
In such a situation, Kang Maru looks at her younger brother, who holds her own hand with an embarrassed expression on her face.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
“……”
“Let go of this. It can’t go on like this. Let go…”
When she becomes aware of the fact that her body is gradually being pulled out of her darkness, she urgently opens her mouth and begins to dissuade her.
“If I get out of here like this… There will be no one to stop Ise-ah?”
“…You have to guess to know what’s long and short.”
“Well, it’s not just that. If I survive here, I won’t have the honor to see Haneul…”
The girl who was muttering like that became tearful and started to twist her body, but her river sky, which held her hand, remained unwavering.
“I’ve shown a pitiful side several times… I’ve shown things I shouldn’t have… If I come back to life like this… It’s terrible just to think about it…”
“……..”
“So, please, please…! Please let me do something here… Let me help at least a little bit in the end!!”
Then she began to struggle even more, and Kang Maru began to cry.
“Please let me go!!!!”
– Wow…
I thought I could hear the sound of teeth grinding from her mouth as she lowered her head, and for an instant, the hand holding her arm loosened slightly.
“Thank you… Sky…”
Then, Kang Maru muttered with a more relaxed expression and relaxed her body.
“…Still, there is no such thing as Yeohan.”
She closes her eyes, feeling the pull of the darkness pulling her as she begins to grow heavier.
“Because I saw your face at the end…”
“Sigh.”
“…Oh?”
But that was only for a moment as Kang Maru opened her eyes again with a dazed expression at the grip she felt on her own arm.
– Wow…
“……!?”
While she was caught off guard, her river Haneul, who had pressed her body a little closer to her, was this time grabbing her arms with both her hands and pulling her on top of her.
“Why on earth…?”
Kang Maru stares blankly for a while at the sight of him clenching his teeth and doing his best, and then starts muttering.
“…How can this happen?”
“…….”
“Obviously… I thought I was definitely prepared…”
Her eyes slowly begin to waver.
‘As expected… Am I the only one thinking about myself even at the end of the end…?’
– Kuuk…
‘Even though we know that if we live like this, everyone will be in danger, do we just want to live like this…?’
The river sky in front of her could not be the real river sky.
If she were the real Kang Haneul, she wouldn’t have lifted herself up like this, and she knew very well that she didn’t even deserve it in the first place.
Kang Maru didn’t know much about this space, but at least he was aware that it was not a real space, but something in the subconscious.
Therefore, it was clear that her current attempt to somehow elevate herself was a desire for survival that emerged from her own unconsciousness.
“…I always said this while training.”
“……?”
“It’s important to catch the opponent off guard.”
So, what Kang Ha-neul was saying to himself right now must have been just what he subconsciously wanted to hear from him.
“There are days when my sister’s training is helpful…”
“Stop…”
“…Well, it was so strong that it did more harm than good.”
“Stop it…”
When he thought about it that way, he was a Kang Maru who became more and more disgusted with himself.
After committing the abuse out of one’s own will, are you saying that you were still rationalizing yourself on the inside?
It was truly deplorable. How would the real Kang Ha-neul react if he saw this skit?
I don’t know for sure, but you probably won’t be gritting your teeth to save yourself like Kang Ha-neul in front of you.
Because…
“Hey, sister.”
“…Hi.”
Kang Maru, who was blaming himself again and again with his eyes closed and a pale face, opens his eyes trembling at the sound of his younger brother’s voice starting to ring right next to his ears.
“Why don’t you just stop holding on and be dragged out?”
“Ha, hahahaha… But…”
“…What’s wrong? Do you think I’m just your sister’s fantasy?”
Eventually, hearing her younger brother’s meaningful whisper, she nodded, breaking into a cold sweat.
“But what should I do…”
“……?”
“I really am Kang Ha-neul.”
Her expression distorted in real time as her younger brother spoke.
“That… Can’t be…”
“If you don’t believe it, think again. Who is the person who is desperately trying to enter the darkness right now, and who is trying to bring that person out?”
“But… You… Are ultimately my self-consciousness…”
In such a situation, she tries to refute the words of her river Haneul in a crawling voice.
“You think so?”

“…….”
“Okay, then let’s do it like this.”
“…Huh?”
And the next moment, something unexpected happens to her.
“Ha, sky…?”
Because the river sky that was holding her hand suddenly took her steps forward and entered the darkness that was devouring her.
“”……””
And then the silence began.
“Oh, no…”
As Kang Haneul, who had been staring at herself, began to gradually fall into darkness, Kang Maru’s complexion, which had already half sunken, began to turn pale.
“No!!!!”
Then, she soon begins to struggle with a different purpose than before.
– Slurp…
“No, sky!!!”
Kang Ha-neul, who is not offering any resistance, is quickly being engulfed in darkness, and at the same time, Kang Maru’s body, which has become urgent, begins to quickly escape from the darkness.
“Not twice!!!!!!”
Just like that, the two siblings are now in completely opposite situations.
“Profit…!”
Nevertheless, she thought that Kang Haneul’s body, which was much smaller than hers, would eventually completely fall into darkness, but just before that, Kang Maru’s hand snatched her Kang Haneul’s hand.
“Hold on tight…! Sky…”
There was a time when she was being dragged helplessly into the darkness, but in an instant she was completely out of it, and she held on tightly to her river Sky’s hand and began to give it her strength.
– Tsuzuzuzuzuzu…
“…Oh?”
After just a few seconds, her mind begins to blur.
“Oh, that doesn’t work…”
But despite this, Kang Maru held on tightly to Kang Ha Neul’s hand and did not let go.
“Look at that.”
In her ears, Kang Ha-neul’s voice begins to faintly resonate.
“It was my sister’s will to die like that…”
“Sky…”
“…And then, I came out of the darkness in an instant.”
“Sky…”
“I guess it was to save my life rather than my sister’s life…?”
Listening to that voice, Kang Maru slowly begins to lose her mind.
“That’s enough for me…”
“……”
“…Because just being sincere once is enough.”
And then, the entire space enveloped in darkness began to turn over.
.
.

.
.
“Ugh…”
– Shake it off…
＞ Kang Haneul!!
As Kang Haneul, who was putting her hand on Kang Maru’s head, sighs and sits down in her seat, Pandora’s drone, which was watching the situation behind her, urgently flies to him.
＞ Are you okay? For a moment, my heart rate dropped so severely that I thought I was going to die!!!
“…Pandora, I guess everyone did what I told them to do, right?”
Then, Kang Ha-neul sits down, takes a deep breath, and asks a question to her drone.
＞ Yes, just like you said, we all attacked that crazy b*tch who stopped in place… No matter what we attacked, it didn’t work! It felt like I was invincible…
“…I guess so.”
＞ So, for now, we retreat to the plan, taking the concept of death with us. I wanted to bring you too… But I thought it would be better to follow your advice…
“Good job…”
He gets up from his seat, stroking the drone that is emitting a mechanical sound full of noise.
“Then that’s it…”
“Ugh…”
The very next moment, Kang Maru begins to rustle and moan in his seat.
“…………”
“…Huh.”
Her like that, her river, the sky, which looked down on her, came into her, and as she carefully hugged her, she opened her eyes, and the river, the floor, came into her, her dreamy eyes. He starts muttering.
“Is it still… A dream…?”
– Tsuzuzuzuzu…
That time when the river sky, slightly moved by that sight, lowered her eyes.
“Ugh, uh…”
A black figure began to stagger and rise in front of them.
“…hehehe, hehehe.”
At first glance, the guy was trembling in pain, as if he was not in a normal state, but then he started laughing grimly.
“I sincerely hope… It’s so… Increasing…”
Then, the guy starts muttering in an abnormal vocal range.
“To save your older sister, who has been abusing you all your life…”
“……..”
“Did you miss your chance to kill me…?”
“…Ha.”
“Or… You really… Like me…? That’s why you couldn’t… Kill me…??”
Kang Ha-neul, sensing Lee Se-ah’s energy mixed in that voice, opens his mouth with a cold expression.
“Even though it was torn to pieces and eaten, is it still alive and moving?”
“Sky… Ah… It’s already been a while since I died from something like that…”
“But it looks like there was no damage. Looking at the way it turned out.”
Ise-ah looked horribly distorted and looked at the river sky in silence, closing her mouth for a moment at those words.
“If you… Come out like this… I can’t help it…”
“…….”
“…I will mobilize everything and fight with all my might.”
She soon smiles her creepy smile and begins to mumble.
“Anyway, no matter what we do, if we just destroy this island… The prophecy will be fulfilled…”
“…….”
“I can mobilize… All the monsters and powers, even the source of great existence…”
At the same time, her appearance is gradually fading away.
“…I will definitely claim you!!!”
Ise-ah, who said those words in such a crazy voice, completely disappeared in front of him.
“”……..””
And then the silence began.
＞ Hey, is it war? Is there a war happening?
“……”
＞ Nim, nim. Where are we now? Should I at least run away from love?
In the silence, Pandora’s drone circled around Kang Ha-neul and muttered, and Kang Ha-neul, who sighed quietly for a moment, soon responded in a low voice.
“If he wants an all-out war, we’ll have to mobilize all our might, too.”
＞ But… We are villains…? Are there forces that can be mobilized? At least there is a hero association, but they are assholes…
But when Pandora revealed the facts, Kang Ha-neul fell into silence for a moment.
“We will have to get help from the third force.”
＞ Third force? But unless you have enough power to move the artificial island, it won’t be of any use…
“Come to think of it, Pandora.”
At the unexpected words that came out of his mouth, it was a Pandora’s drone that circled around the sky and stopped moving in the air.
“Is the search for Shinwa Group’s third daughter coming to an end?”
＞ Ah.
.
.
.
.
.
The short and bold incident that happened in the back alley of the artificial island and will greatly change the future is coming to an end.
– Rustling…
“Ugh…”
Himari, who was lying unconscious on the roof of a nearby building, opens her eyes and groans.
“……!”
And then, her face soon turns pale.
“Shhh…”
This was because Rumia, who had somehow escaped from the Gangneul group that was retreating, was pressing her face towards her, clutching her head, shedding cold sweat.
“Yes, why are you here…?”
“I want to check something.”
At Rumia’s next question, Himari’s eyes began to widen as she put her head behind her in fear.
“…Is the rumor that the Shinwa Group has an illegitimate child that has not been revealed to the public true?”
“What…?”
