EPISODE 81. Abel
Kill Abel. This proposition was very unfamiliar to Cheon Sa-yeon.
Even Cheon Sa-yeon who had repeated time over 200 times had never seen the real Abel. There were times when he completely blocked the movement by destroying all the high-grade dolls Abel controlled, but he could not kill Abel.
So, it was the first time for Cheon Sa-yeon to come to this place. It wasn’t that surprising. Han Yi-gyeol… No, because this time he met Kwon Se-hyun for the first time, there were often situations.
‘SS-rank dolls, the rest are all B-rank. Another SS-rank is coming from afar.’
All SS-rank dolls had been dealt with by himself. So he knew very well how to defeat the doll standing in front of him.
Cheon Sa-yeon calmly thought. Even if Kwon Se-hyun cut off Abel’s energy who was controlling the doll with his intervention ability, it would be reconnected in less than five minutes.
It was of no use to cut off the energy unless they searched her in this spacious building for five minutes and found Abel. Rather, if they forcefully entered the building, both the front and the back would be blocked.
It was safer to proceed while handling the dolls that were blocking them as much as possible. As if thinking the same, Kwon Se-hyun didn’t bother to stop Cheon Sa-yeon, who drew Lilith’s sword. Ha Tae-heon also wielded an SS-class sword.
/“Ha, are you going to kill me?”/
Even with Abel’s ridicule, Kwon Se-hyun’s expression didn’t change. The wind slowly rising, Kwon Se-hyeon’s black hair gently fluttered.
“Laugh a lot. This will be the last time.”
The wind that flowed from Kwon Se-hyun’s body soon spread widely and enveloped Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon. At the same time, a second SS-rank doll appeared from the back of the hallway.
Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon each rushed to the SS-rank dolls in front of them. The rest of the team blocked the B-rank dolls who were aiming for Kwon Se-hyun.
/”I’ll make you regret coming this far!”/
The puppet who shouted fiercely swung its gigantic scissors slowly.
The blood burned red from Cheon Sa-yeon’s sword, who easily evaded the attack while being wrapped in Han Yi-gyeol’s wind. Similar to Cheon Sa-yeon’s ability, bright yellow lightning flashed on the scissors holding by the doll.
/“Annoying bastards!”/
It was the effect of the item that the doll had. Lightning flashed dangerously, as if it were about to be shot at Cheon Sa-yeon at any moment.
Lilith’s sword blade was drawn horizontally along with the flame. When the blade of scissors and the blade of the sword collided, fire and lightning collided with hot energy.
/”Iik…!”/
The doll’s two feet, pushed by Cheon Sa-yeon, scratched the ground.
Kwarurung! Lightning flashed right next to Cheon Sa-yeon. Cheon Sa-yeon, who knew this clearly but didn’t avoid it, was cut on his face and his blood flowed out.
The cold, black eyes penetrated the doll’s mind accurately. She was on edge. Cheon Sa-yeon, who quickly grasped the doll’s condition, which wasn’t able to concentrate on the fight by licking its lips, gave strength to his arm and cut off the blade of scissors.
Chaeaeng!
The doll, whose scissors were pushed hard, lost its balance and stumbled greatly. Cheon Sa-yeon, who didn’t miss the gap, began to swing his sword at a tremendous speed.
In the midst of the roar of lightning hitting the ground, the blade of the sword and the blade of the scissors collided without a break. The doll, who had managed to block Cheon Sa-yeon’s attack, couldn’t stand it and was cut long by the sword.
/“Aaagh, damn it! Aaaagh!”/
The doll’s waist and lower body, which had been cut in its left side, melted in an instant by the blade stained with Cheon Sa-yeon’s blood. The doll, who had been attacking with scissors until the end even with an unstable body, eventually lost both legs and fell to the ground.
/“Fuck, you bastard…”/
Chiiiik, and soon after, the whole doll melted as if submerged in bright red lava and disappeared without a shape. Chaenggurang, the scissors, whose owner had disappeared, fell alone.
Cheon Sa-yeon, who handled one doll, immediately turned his back and moved to help Ha Tae-heon, who was fighting the remaining SS-rank doll.
Kwon Se-hyun, who was supporting Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon with wind at the same time, had already turned pale. There were still dolls left inside, but could Kwon Se-hyun be able to withstand it? At least now, the fight should have ended quickly.
“Concentrate properly, Ha Tae-heon.”
Ha Tae-heon also noticed Kwon Se-hyun’s condition, so he felt a sense of urgency at the tip of his sword. Cheon Sa-yeon, who sharply pointed out Ha Tae-heon’s problem, naturally intervened in the battle like flowing water.
The doll that Abel’s spirit was connected to was destroyed by Cheon Sa-yeon, so the doll Ha Tae-heon was dealing with didn’t say anything. As the doll swung a bloody axe, a bright red flame erupted from the axe blade.
Cheon Sa-yeon, who had clashed with Abel hundreds of times, knew her character very well. She was capricious, sensitive, stupid, and careless. To the extent that her emotions were easily swayed and she blindly entrust her ability to Kali too much.
/“You idiot! No matter how hard you guys try, it’s useless!”/
Every time Cheon Sa-yeon had killed Abel’s doll for the past hour, he heard the words again. A small doll made of cotton crawled out of the corner of the hallway like an earthworm. It was a cotton doll made solely to convey Abel’s words.
/”Because she will erase all of this anyway!”/
It was a laugh at Cheon Sa-yeon, whose his time had taken by Kali.
Yeah. That was correct. It was also the same reason Abel was dealing with them emotionally. It would be a time when all these things hadn’t happened once with Kali’s ability.
Cheon Sa-yeon knew all that very well. Although he knew it, he held on to the smallest hope, bled, and worked hard. So he didn’t care about such low-level mockery.
“…no.”
It was the moment when the axe blade was cut off and the doll’s right arm was cut off. Kwon Se-hyun raised his head with a fed-up face instead Cheon Sa-yeon who silently fought.
“This time will never be erased.”
Min Ah-rin held Kwon Se-hyun’s hand with her lips tightly closed. As the pure white light flowed out of their clasped hands, the wind, which was almost cut off, regained strength and became clear.
“This must be the last time you talk like that, Abel.”
With Kwon Se-hyun’s last words, Ha Tae-heon cut the doll’s neck neatly. Ha Tae-heon’s sword blade was pierced in the center of the cotton doll’s chest, seen over the doll’s head falling to the ground. The voice that had ridiculed Cheon Sa-yeon suddenly stopped.
All of a sudden, the dolls that filled the hallway were broken and destroyed. Kwon Se-hyun, who was leaning against the hallway wall with one hand, opened his mouth with a cold sweat.
“I saw where the energy that was passed on to dolls started.”
The eyes that were revealed through the black hair that covered his forehead were clearer than ever.
“Let’s go there.”
* * *
/”Get out! Get out, get out of here!”/
The third doll burned with blood.
/”I’m gonna kill you, I’m gonna kill you, I…”/
The fourth doll was also pierced in the chest by Ha Tae-heon’s sword.
/“Do you know what will change if you guys do this?”/
/“She will find you and kill you!”/
/“Won’t it all be useless? Stupid, you stupid rats!”/
/“Die, die, die, die!”/
We continued to kill the dolls standing in our way and headed deep inside.
I cut off Abel’s energy by using Han Yi-gyeol’s wind ability when a doll that had to be killed came up, and my intervention ability when a doll that didn’t need to be killed appeared.
The number of SS-rank dolls that were killed in that way exceeded ten and there were countless dolls below the S-rank. All of us, who had been moving non-stop and fighting the dolls, were injured and exhausted.
The worst thing was me and Min Ah-rin, who continued to use her ability alternately and tried to fill my energy. But there was no room for rest. As I chewed the inside of my mouth, I forcibly woke up my mind that was constantly fuzzy.
Abel, who struggled to stop us by mobilizing all the dolls she used, couldn’t stop us in the end.
After passing one room across the long hallway, and then through the wide hall, we finally arrived at the room after entering the hallway again. Beyond this door, there was Abel.
Tidik, tik.
As I stood in front of the door, the fluorescent light illuminating the hallway flickered in an unstable way. Swallowing dry saliva, I grabbed the handle and opened the door.
The door opened slowly and the lights went out, revealing a dark and spacious room. The bookshelf in the room were filled with stuffed animals, not books.
“Abel… is beyond the bookshelf.”
Abel’s energy was felt over the tightly packed bookshelf. Since there were no strong dolls left, I couldn’t feel any other energy.
As I stepped into the room, dozens of hysterical laughter sounded over and over.
/”Intruders! Intruders! Intruders! Intru…”/
/“The bugs have come all the way here! They come…”/
/“You have to kill, you have to kill, you have to…”/
/“Raise the sword! Stab, stab them! Stab…”/
/“Get out, get out, get out, get…”/
The deeper I went into the room, the more the number of dolls sitting on the bookshelf and chattering increased. It was so bizarre that it was hard to see the doll with blue skin, facial features, and frozen body at the same time.
I cut off those loud voices one by one and moved to the most cornered place without hesitation.
Kkigik, kugugung!
The smell of dust wafted out when the bookshelf, which seemed to have been there for a long time, was set aside. Scattering the hazy smoke with my hands and raising my gaze, I wrinkled my brow at the sight in front of me.
“……!”
The team members who followed me made similar expressions. Ha Tae-heon narrowed his eyes and said.
“Is that person Abel?”
A skinny wrist exposed under the pure white fabric. Clothes that smell strongly of disinfectant. Oxygen respirator over the face.
A girl who looked to be 15 years old at most was lying on the bed. The tightly closed eyes didn’t open even there were us. The electrocardiogram machine, which was hidden in the noise of the dolls, made a beep, beep sound.
I checked the energy with my ability once again just in case and took a long, heavy breath. That girl in front of me must be… Abel.
