I am not a returner Episode 340:
Black Sky (4)
A city covered in dark clouds as thick as fog.
Niflheim, the kingdom of the demons, had neither high walls nor tightly closed gates.
‘If you’re going to come in, come in and see.’
Ohjin laughed out loud as he looked at the gray buildings peeking through the dark clouds.
but.
Who would think that Niflheim would be attacked?
‘Unfortunately.’
Such arrogant thoughts will end as of today.
“Shall we go?”
Ojin walked towards the city covered in black clouds.
They used black cover to hide their presence and entered Niflheim leisurely.
‘Is this Niflheim?’
A city full of dull gray.
The scene covered in dark clouds was reminiscent of a European street during the industrial era.
I slowly walked down the street holding my breath.
I tried to catch any demons wandering nearby and find out about the place where the ceremony was held.
‘There’s no one.’
In the empty streets, not a single demon race or the demon beasts they worked with were visible.
“Tsk.”
Now that it was like this, I had no choice but to find it myself.
Ojin lightly jumped on top of the building and activated the Stigmata of the Canis Hound.
I feel like my sense of computing is expanding.
A view of the city covered by dark clouds came into view along with a musty odor.
“...What is that?”
The center of Niflheim.
Dark clouds were seen gathered together in the shape of a huge dome.
No, not exactly a dome.
‘heart.’
The rumbling black clouds were pulsating as if the heart of a giant had been ripped out.
‘Did the dark clouds covering the city come from there?’
A huge mass of dark clouds, estimated to be several kilometers across, was spreading out across the entire city like blood flowing from the heart through the veins.
“...over there.”
It was not a conclusion reached through instinctive intuition or keen insight.
If you were to ask a three-year-old passing by, he would probably tell you that that was the place for the ceremony.
‘I had no intention of hiding it in the first place.’
Should I say I am glad that I saved myself the trouble of finding it?
Still, I wondered if it was okay to perform this ceremony so openly, even though it was a ritual to unseal the Heavenly Demon, and approached the dark cloud that was pulsating like a heart.
and.
“...It wasn’t that I had any intention of hiding it.”
As I approached the black clouds, I felt a huge force that took my breath away.
This wasn’t something I could hide and sleep on.
A storm of magical power so strong that even if a barrier is placed around it, it will blow away without the barrier.
Ojin slowly walked towards the black clouds.
Grumble, rumble!
I raised my hand to the pulsating black cloud.
When Ojin raised his hand, the magical power that was swirling so fiercely as if it would tear everything that came near to pieces became quiet like a gentle sheep.
I felt a familiarity, like an old friend, in the dark clouds that gently wrapped around my hand.
‘It has to be that way.’
The energy that was wrapped around his hand right now was none other than the energy of the Black Sky.
‘Similar... but different.’
The Black Heaven that one possesses and the Black Heaven that the Heavenly Demon possesses.
The external energy itself was similar, but if you close your eyes and concentrate, you can see that the energies of the two dark heavens are clearly different.
“Something...”
Is it correct to say it’s dangerous?
It was an energy that felt weak, as if I was touching a castle made of sand.
‘Did you say that the dark sky possessed by the Heavenly Demon is incomplete?’
When I first heard that from Cassia, I didn’t understand what imperfection meant.
When I directly touched the Heavenly Demon’s Black Heaven, I was able to see the difference.
‘How were we able to survive in such a precarious condition?’
Dealing with the black sky in such an unstable state was like running through land made of sponge.
