I Don't Want This Reincarnation [1]

127

When I took Cheon Sa-yeon's hand, who reached out in front of me, he gently lifted me up. I couldn't stand properly and staggered then Cheon Sa-yeon wrapped one arm around my waist.

"Cheon Sa-yeon, wait..."

It was then that I noticed Cheon Sa-yeon's condition. There were several injuries here and there on his arms and legs, including cuts on the cheeks, and his breathing was a bit rough. I couldn't hide my embarrassment as I had never seen him so dishevelled.

"Did you come here alone?"

"Do you have any problem?"

"Are you crazy? There are so many enemies here! And if you get seriously injured..."

"Thank you for your concern. It's useless though."

This punk, seriously.

My face contorted at the absurd remark. Edward, who was watching from behind me, opened his mouth carefully.

"Cheon Sa-yeon-ssi, can we get out of here?"

"Of course."

Cheon Sa-yeon, who answered calmly as if talking about the weather, swung his sword without hesitation. Then the things that were holding the neck and wrists were neatly cut off and fell to the floor.

Squeak.

It felt like I was out of breath when I was freed from the heavy chain. I lifted my head, touching my reddened neck from the rough leather leash.

Dozens of people were gradually approaching us in a form surrounding us. Samael wearing a white mask could be seen through the black masks that filled my eyes. As I stiffened in tension, Cheon Sa-yeon tightened his arm and pulled me into his arms.

"Now what should we do?"

"We have to go away. To the outside."

"Cheon Sa-yeon, my ability..."

After a moment's hesitation, I bit my lip and continued.

"I can't use my ability. As soon as I was brought in, I swallowed some strange drug, I think it was a shutter item."

"It's a shutter item."

Cheon Sa-yeon mumbled softly as if there was nothing to be surprised about. Cheon Sa-yeon, who blinked slowly as if organizing his thoughts for a moment, looked down at me.

"Move your energy, Han Yi-gyeol."

"What?"

"Try to use your energy."

I frowned at the request. Did this bastard listen to people's words with the back of his ear?

"Did you not hear me? I said I ate a shutter item."

"You can do it."

I could see Cheon Sa-yeon's black eyes. He opened his mouth with amiable attitude.

"Items don't always work. Above all, ingestible items lose their effectiveness over time."

"......"

"Try it. You haven't tried it."

The firm words somehow felt like cheering. Cheon Sa-yeon's words were right. There was nothing to lose even if I tried.

"It's useless, Talented Han Yi-gyeol."

As if trampling on hope, Samael intervened leisurely. Chaeng, gigigik! The spear that was poking at the chest and Lilith's sword collided. Cheon Sa-yeon swung his sword while holding me in his arms and hiding Edward behind him. To take me away from Cheon Sa-yeon, people wearing black masks reached out from all directions.
