Trang!
Behind a door, the mirror held by the little girl shattered.
"Interesting toys..."
....
Thanks to her echolocation, Areum clearly saw that there was someone in front of her. But strangely, there are 2 figures that are visible. One of them is standing and the other is sitting. Areum did not know who was standing, but the one who was sitting was her master.
"Look at yourself, pathetic..."
"You should have died..."
Oliver sat there quietly as his shadow cursed him. He did not respond to those words as if he did not have the spirit of life. He who has lost his footing, is not suitable when juxtaposed with his name as the world's strongest hunter.
The look in his blank eyes, signified how mentally destroyed a strongest hunter was.
From a distance, Areum's voice was heard calling out to Oliver. Oliver's shadow that was ready to drop his sword, stopped.
"It so pathetic that you are helped by the person you have helped..."
"If you have this weak determination, immediately stop being a hero..."
Then Oliver's shadow disappeared.
"Milordd!!"
Areum touched Oliver's shoulder but there was no response. Then Areum moved to Oliver's face and was shocked to see her master bowed.
"Milord!! what happened to you?!" said Areum while raising Oliver's face.
But what was seen was not the face of her master, but the same face as when Areum was desperate. Areum looked around to make sure there were no enemies lurking. But the hallway was empty and there were only shards of mirrors scattered.
"Milord...why..."
It took a few seconds for Areum to realize what was really happening. Looking at her surroundings and what she had experienced before, Areum understood why her master could be like this. Although Areum knows nothing about her master's past, it is Oliver who has saved and made Areum find purpose in her life.
Although not very smart, Areum knew what she had to do as her master's knight. She lifted Oliver's face to look at her even though his gaze was blank.
Dugh!!
Areum banged her head on Oliver. Oliver still looked unmoved.
"Please, wake up..."
Dugh!!
This time Areum with all her might banged her head. Makes blood drip on her forehead. So did Oliver's bloody forehead. But because of his passive skills, the wound healed quickly.
Dugh!
The third time Areum tried to resuscitate her master. Seeing her master who was still unconscious of her efforts, made Areum feel disappointed in her. Even though her master is there when she needs someone.
Areum leaned her head against Oliver's head. I don't know how to wake up her master anymore.
"No! I can't give up!"
Areum again prepared to awaken her master.
"With all my strength, please be aware milord"
"Haaa...!!"
Areum closed her eyes as if it was all the power she used.
Tap!
A touch of hand stopped Areum's full header.
"Didn't I tell you to stay there..."
"Milordd...!!"
Hearing her master's conscious voice, Areum hugged him tightly as if she didn't want to lose him.
Oliver accepted the hug. "Am I worrying you? forgive me."
"..." Areum was still crying in Oliver's arms.
"Areum doesn't know what the past milord is like"
"But if you need someone to tell you a story, Areum is ready at any time..."
Areum paused for a moment, "... Seo Yeon also includes"
"Haha, alright" Oliver pulled Areum's body out of his hug and treated the wound on her forehead.
"Are you feeling good?"
"Hum"
Oliver stroked Areum's head, "You come back! I'll take care of the rest."
"Thank you for worrying me and... Good work has beaten your past"
Areum smiled broadly at her master's praise. "Thank you, milord!"
"I pray for your safety and of course your victory"
After saying that, Areum turned to return to the room where the other three members were asleep.
"It's time to face the past..."
Oliver walked back down the long hallway. The mirror that projected his past, he destroyed without hesitation.
Oliver wrote a message on his bracelet. "I await your presence"
In the room where Hyun was still asleep, the beautiful dream still continued.
Hyun was in a mall with his family.
While at one of the food courts, Hyun felt a déjà vu. He felt that he had experienced a similar incident but could not remember it. Hyun also felt that someone kept calling him but when he looked around, there was no source of the sound.
Seeing Hyun who was acting strangely, Sera asked what happened. Hyun replied that he just felt a strange feeling that couldn't be explained.
"Sera, where is Sylv?"
"Sylv?" Who is it? Exactly what am I talking about?
...
"Hyun, do you feel unwell?" there seemed to be worry covering his mother's face.
"Should we go home, Hyun?" his father was also worried about Hyun's condition.
"No, Hyun is fine"
Since Hyun said it was okay, they continued eating.
After eating, they continued walking around the mall and gave some groceries. While at the mall, the feeling like something is wrong continues to haunt Hyun. He could not explain why these feelings arose. There was even a name that Hyun had never met before.
When he was about to leave the mall, Hyun couldn't help but be curious. "Hey Sera, do you love oppa?" asked Hyun to Sera she was holding with him.
Hearing her oppa's question, Sera smiled.
"Of course, Sera loves oppa"
"Of course, Sera loves oppa d#n k@k 5y7v"
What....
"Arrghhh!!"
Suddenly Hyun's head was shaken violently.
"Oppaa!!"
"Hyun!! What happened to you?!"
"Kyaaa! Hurry up, there's a monster outside!"
Hyun's head seemed to spin and there was a screaming sound that came out of nowhere.
"HYUN! SERA! You guys hurry up and go with Mom! Dad will be able to-"
"Kaaa!! DAD!!"
What really happened?
"Hyun! Keep Your Sister Safe! you go first"
Hyun faintly looked at his mother's frightened face. He didn't know what really happened. His head was very dizzy. But as ordered by his mother, Hyun, who was still dizzy, immediately invited Sera to run away.
In the middle of escape, Hyun took the time to look back to see what happened. But, what he saw were human bodies scattered and some that were eaten by a strange creature like a monster. What is it?
Hyun is looking for where his mother is. In the corner of his eye, he saw the silhouette of his smiling mother. Behind her was a monster ready to pounce.
"NO!!"
"MOM...!!"
Hyun woke up. In front of him, there was a dragon staring at him.
"Aaaa...!!"
Suddenly Hyun stepped back and hit his head on the head of the bed.
"Aw!"
"Y-you Fking dragon! you surprised me"
Krieett...
A sound of an open door startled Hyun for the second time.
Areum appeared behind him. "Oh Hyun, you've come to your senses"
Seeing one of her members wake up, Areum orders her dragon to retreat and approach Hyun.
"Are you alright, Hyun?"
"Oh yea, I'm fine"
"Just having good and bad dreams at the same time," Hyun said while holding his still aching head.
Hyun was still curious as to why the soul dragon was here. "By the way, isn't this the dragon that Oliver once defeated? Why is it here?"
"Oh this? Actually I can summon the monsters that I and milord have defeated."
Hyun nodded, "Then, where is Oliver? Why is there only the two of us and... two people who are asleep?"
"That's actually..."
"Ah no need to explain, I know the outline"
Hyun checked his bracelet which had accumulated several messages from his unnie Sylv and also Oliver.
MASTER!! Finally Master comes back to life!
"Are you worried about me? I'm sorry, it seems like a beautiful dream I can't get through"
It's okay what master is, as long as master is fine, it's enough.
"Sunbae! Is there a body-sized mirror here?"
"Yes, it's there," said Areum while pointing to the mirror in the corner of the room.
"Good! now it's time to live up to Oliver's expectations"
"Hey system, swallow the three sunbae"
Sure master!
"Hyun! what do you want to do?" asked Areum when she saw Hyun walking towards the mirror.
"Just a few small affairs, sunbae"
It seems like Areum understands, "I pray for your victory, Hyun"
"Of course, sunbae!"
Hyun turned his ring into a sword. "Are you ready, Danjo?!"
Hyun touched his hand on the mirror. Miraculously, Hyun's hand was able to penetrate it. "I'm going first, sunbae!"
Seeing Hyun's completely lost body, Areum prayed in her heart, "You are our hope, Hyun. Please take care of the master for us"
Absorption complete, master!
