Chapter 644: The Crazy Crow (3)

It didn’t take long before Kim Hyunsung’s face became overshadowed by a huge shock.

He was still fighting back, but his concentration was shaking so much that it was visible that his mind was somewhere else. Of course, I knew what he was thinking. He was reflecting on the shocking news he just heard.

It would be nice if he could just concentrate and think of it as just nonsense, but his blank face remained. I was sure that he was slowly recalling the strange behaviors he had seen before.

Such as me holding my head, making a blank face as if I’d been to a different world for a while, or frequently not remembering what just happened.

Wasn’t it Kim Hyunsung that asked Cho Hyejin to check my condition in the first place since there could be something wrong with my brain?

He suspected it before anyone else did, and he noticed it first.

‘Sh*t… Sh*t…’

Perhaps he had reached a conclusion.

He could imagine the possibility that Cho Hyejin made a false report or that she was intentionally hiding something from him.

It didn’t take long for his face to get wrinkled. Only despair was visible- endless despair.

‘What’s wrong with your eyes, you sh*t?’

-…

‘Hyunsung, wake up. Hyung is fine. You need to wake up.’

‘That’s enough. I’m exhausted.’

‘You’re not going to try again, are you? You shouldn’t get tired.’

-I’m going to save Hyung. I’ll get him out of your dirty hands.

‘You shut up.’

- You didn’t know that? You… You don’t know anything!

‘Shut up, please.’

His collapsed mentality naturally affected the battle.

In the first place, Kim Hyunsung didn’t seem to be able to make a rational judgment.

Although he was moving his body, he wasn’t responding to the attacks as he usually would.

I thought I was a little too shocked, but my memory loss that even Cho Hyejin cried about was supposed to be kept a secret.

I was sure that Kim Hyunsung was even more upset about it.

My dear friend, the colleague who carried my burdens with me through the first and second rounds, and the only brother I could rely on throughout my life.

Kim Hyunsung relied on me and followed me as much as the trivial events I committed in the arms of a comfortable and warm regressor did.

… Especially after meeting in the unconscious world.

In many ways, I couldn’t help but worry.

- No way…

‘Right, that can’t be true. That’s right, Hyunsung.’

-It doesn’t make sense. That can’t be true.

‘Yeah, that’s ridiculous. Raphael’s a total liar. I think it’s a little weird, but I don’t believe it.’

-It can’t… it can’t happen.

‘Yeah, that can’t be happening. You know what? I think Lucifer is manipulating him. Why would you listen to him? You know that’s all lies, right?’

-Lies…

‘Yeah, he’s lying.’

However, the problem was that he didn’t really think it was a lie.

Bang!

Sure enough, as they fought, he started closing in on the wall, showing the situation of being pushed back.

Although I was worried that our regressor would be hurt by Raphael’s willingness to win somehow, I thought Kim Hyunsung’s body would probably have no major abnormalities.

If it was true that Lucifer was aiming for Doom Hyunsung, she wouldn’t just watch him get hurt.

His mentality was what made me worried. He kept denying reality, making me think that he would enter the unconscious world once again.

If Lucifer really aimed for Kim Hyunsung, wouldn’t that be the scene she had drawn in her head?

Raphael continued to provoke and push him. Meanwhile, Kim Hyunsung seemed to be out of his mind.

The darker Kim Hyunsung’s expression got, the more he agreed.

‘That sad crow… Damn it, damn it.’

There was no evidence to support me at that point. As time went by, however, it was becoming increasingly clear what the purpose was.

For the time being, wearing out their mental strength was the first task, and the plan was well suited for that.

In the first place, Kim Hyunsung was closer to the light.

To be exact, he was walking his own path, but he preferred the good side of things. Due to his tendency to be a well-intentioned mediator, so far, Kim Hyunsung’s spirit hadn’t even shown a small gap for the demons to penetrate.

It would be easier to understand if I considered that the first process of breaking the walls of a powerful and clean spirit by burying dirt in it was going smoothly. It was all to set up the flag of corruption.

Didn’t Kim Hyunsung’s expression of confusion and the aurora popping up around his body prove that I was right?

After that, she would tempt him to accept the new power. That was the typical method used by dirty demons to lure innocent humans. I was sure that Lucifer’s voice was coming into Kim Hyunsung’s head at that moment.

Lucifer could do everything he wanted. If he needed strength, if he wanted someone’s memory back, she could take care of it.

I didn’t exactly know what I was saying, but I could guarantee that my unimaginable voice was being conveyed unilaterally.

Perhaps he was denying his light right at that moment.

His mind was probably filled with the absurd fate that Lee Kiyoung was experiencing or the misfortune that came to him despite devoting himself to the gods. They would be different, and Lucifer, the fallen angel, could be saying she could solve that problem.

If I were Lucifer, I would have used any means to deny Benignore.

‘Ha, Sh*t.’

I had been thinking about the birth of Doom Hyunsung, the Dark Lord, but I didn’t want to talk about it.

‘It’s impure.’

Kim Hyunsung could be stronger without Lucifer’s power.

“The crow is impurity.”

It could be a good choice in the short run, but for the long-term, it wasn’t a practical option at all.

Nobody needed any decorations on jewelry that they already cherished.

Kim Hyunsung must’ve also been well aware of that fact.

The power one borrowed from somewhere could help them get out of the immediate crisis, but it wouldn’t help them afterward.

‘I’m right, aren’t I? You’re not going to sign a contract, are you? You don’t like demons.’

I knew Lucifer wouldn’t appear openly like a devil, but I didn’t think Kim Hyunsung, who had been through all kinds of hardships, would hold his hand out without any doubt to the savior that suddenly appeared.

‘You’re not going to sign the contract, are you? Your positions have changed, but you’re a good-hearted mediator. Well, it’s not like the world has collapsed, but you’re trying to hold the hands of a savior who you don’t even know about.’

It was then that Kim Hyunsung bit his lips tightly.

‘Hyunsung.’

His conviction was long gone.

‘That crazy crow, if this doesn’t stop right now, I’ll…’

[No, this is good for you, Commander Lee Kiyoung.]

‘What?’

[Of course, I didn’t rule out personal greed at all, but this is the way for you.]

‘I don’t need that.’

[No, you’ll need it. Commander Lee Kiyoung will be grateful to me, I’m sure, and eventually, he’ll be with you, right?]

Afterward, no other voice was heard. There was no need to talk anymore, and that one-sided communication wasn’t welcomed.

I could understand the fact that many restrictions were at stake, but I was bound to be curious about where she really was hiding, what she knew, and where her knowledge was.

I didn’t like the whole situation since there was something I couldn’t read. No one in the world wouldn’t feel bad when someone controlled them from the top of their head.

I knew that it was a bit of a thought for me to do, but I was the one in control. I would never be controlled.

I didn’t want her to aid me, even if what Lucifer wanted was really helpful to me.

‘Yeah, do as you please.’

It’s already been several minutes since I moved through the big dungeon with a feeling of being half-carried by Park Li-ahn.

She looked exhausted, too, but I couldn’t ask her to rest.

‘A little faster.’

“I know it’s going to be hard, but…”

“Oh, yeah, oh, oh…”

“Thank you.”

“…”

‘I’ll repay you when this is over, really.’

I had no choice but to rush her because of the increasingly serious situation.

‘Has Benignore done anything yet?’

Of course, there was no response. To be honest, I didn’t think I could handle it already.

‘Sh*t, really.’

As I turned my eyes again and paid attention to Kim Hyunsung, I felt like I was going into an even deeper trouble. That was because Raphael was upset by the incomprehensible energy that suddenly began to stretch out.

I could see him swallowing his saliva.

The energy flowing out of Kim Hyunsung’s body was alarming. It had reached a point where the person who was talking became mute for a moment.

He talked rather than finally showing his true colors, but I didn’t know if he was aware that his voice was shaking.

-Argh!

He swung his sword with a sound, but all the gray light shone on the invisible shroud, or did it seem as if the light refused to touch Kim Hyunsung?

-…

Just around that time, when Kim Hyunsung slowly raised his head, revealing his face that was darker than before.

His eyes, which were close to self-loathing, seemed to explain his feelings better than anything else.

The pitch-black darkness enveloped his body, and the wave of mana reached where I was. His hands and feet trembled, and his body was getting goosebumps.

‘Sh*t, don’t do it! Don’t do it.’

“Don’t do it! Sh*t!”

Immediately after, a pair of giant black wings stretched out behind Kim Hyunsung’s back.

And another pair.

“…”

And another pair.

“Fucking sh*t…”

And another pair.

The 10-piece wing visual was cool, but when I saw Kim Hyunsung turning his head, I felt my chest hurting.

I was sure he was aware that I was running towards him, but I didn’t see any pleasure in his face.

Of course, his expression of concern lingered as if he was devastated, but he soon realized what he became and chewed his lips tightly.

It was worth saying that he was worried about what I would think of him when I found out he signed a contract with the devil.

‘You turn him back to normal, right? There’s hope, right?’

However, the information that the Mind’s Eyes showed me destroyed even the slightest hope.

[Checking Kim Hyunsung’s unique trait.]

[The Sunset Sinking into the Disgusting Darkness.]

‘I need to be careful.’

I had no choice but to reflect on myself. I thought it would be okay, but…

Who knew that the disgusting darkness meant Lucifer?

‘Damn it.’

I couldn’t stop myself from biting down on my lower lip.
