Abel wasn’t a villain from the start. Because of the immortal power and demands from the fanatics, he leaves the church empty and runs around, eventually being exiled over the brink of dying by the rebellion. In the process, he was seriously injured, lost a lot of power, and became a scout to the villain group Apocalypse.
But because of me, he never left the church empty and I thought there was no gap for rebellion, but it’s awful. The unchanging law of the original story is really scary.
No matter how much it is, they are aiming for the heart! Of course, I see that destroying the heart is the easiest way to deal with Abel. It is said that the villain, which is an obstacle to the female lead, is handled early. But if my red thread is connected, things are very, very different.
It’s like my lifeline! I screamed silently and hid behind the altar, hugging Abel’s hearted box tightly like it was a lover.
Hearing the random footsteps, the sound of opening the door, and the harsh voice of swearing, the door opened. Kiiikk, I hear several sounds that pull something. The sound of footsteps getting closer to my back.
I hold a piece of glass that has fallen quietly, thinking that the human smell will be caught right away, but surprisingly, the footsteps scatter in all directions. It seemed that they didn’t notice me. Thanks to this box. I looked down at the box and I glanced at the dusty altar. It was dark and, but thanks to the red thread, I could see how many were there.
“I told you to find the box here.”
“Clocks.”
“The socks.”
“It’s a box!”
It’s the zombie squad. Half bodies with red threads for stupid conversations embedded in the brain, not the heart. With a sluggish, stupid look, zombies with giant screws stuck in the temple were limping around.
I quietly stuck to the wall, relieved that they weren’t the gangshi or other fast-paced ghosts like kappa.
Swoosh. I slowly move my steps to the sound of their slow footsteps.
Changgang, the old window was kicked. A nearby zombie raised his head at the sharp crackling sound.
“Dum Dum. Did you hear anything?”
“It’s a sound from your rattling head.”
“It’s not a hound, it’s a sound. You’re a fool, Binbin.”
“What?”
I was able to come out to the entrance of the altar, leaving behind their fights with stupid voices. I put the box firmly in my arms, sticking the back to the wall, and inspecting the outside movements. Whenever I heard a humming sound, I hid into the shadowed place because of the ceiling arch. I barely went through the corridor, but at the entrance of the temple, I could see a bunch of torches already flickering.
What the f***. I swear words, but it was either to die or to live. Anyway, if I get caught here, the heart will be lost. Hiding among the demon statues, I barely advanced to the entrance. They were growling and talking.
“I can’t find anything!”
“I said it was obviously here! Isn’t it already stolen?”
The monster with thorns sprouted all over his body, snarled. The shadow of a huge wall built to fit the body of a monster was enough to hide me.
“No. If you look for it, it’s definitely there. He wouldn’t have thought of hiding it elsewhere. Because his mind is being sold to the human girl these days.”
It was one of the senior executives. He was the one who clung to Abel as a loyal servant.
He was good to me, and then you hit the back of our head like this? I expected it, but when I actually saw it, I was throbbing.
If I’m like this angry, what about Abel, the person involved? Yes, Abel! Abel, where the hell has this kid gone! I grind my teeth and look up to the gray sky, but the miracle of the reaper Abel flying did not happen.
Okay. It was a truth I realized when I fell here. I fixed the laces of my sneakers-I was glad I didn’t wear slippers because it was annoying-and prepared to run. Life is real.
The moment the bald-headed octopus, who was looking through a telescope while procrastinating his legs, turned his head, he started jumping toward the main temple. However, the octopus screamed.
“It’s a human woman! She’s running away!”
Damn. The big eyeballs were blinking even in the back of the head, which I thought was balm. Octopus is the same whether it’s back or front-damn it.
I started running while spitting swear words.
“There!”
Because I heard terrifyingly loud, fast footsteps from behind, I could see that I was being chased by the majority without having to look back.
“Catch it! Catch it! That woman must have taken the heart!”
“Ahhhhhh! Why is the road endless!”
I ran and ran again, proud of being the fastest speed in my life. I ran to death until I got a sweet smell in my mouth, so I should be there after coming out at this point, but strangely, the central temple didn’t appear even if I went.
“You can’t run away from the barrier! Give the heart, woman!”
It was only then that I realized there is a magic spell. This gray fog, which had been there from before, acts as a hallucination, making barriers. Of course, it will disappear if you kill the caster…… I looked back at the dozens of monsters chasing me, shut up and started running again. I got tired of running, and I fell into the hills of the side road, and somehow a familiar place.
Where there is jiggly black mud. The shadows flickered among the thick black trees.
“What’s all this fuss about?”
A black horse with six legs, shaking his mane, stepped out. Sleipnir, who had just woke up, blankly blinked its dark red eyes, looked at me once and at the monsters who were chasing with an eye the size of my fist.
“What kind of accident happened to you? I heard that you are a human of great importance.”
I gasped, grabbing my heart that was about to burst and the box containing Abel’s heart in my arms.
“Well, they’re aiming for Abel,huft, heart…”
“Oh my! Come on, get on!”
Whether he believed me or saw the box I had, Sleipnir gave me his back without asking or questioning. The black mane that had been burning, sprang up, and pulled my arm.
Ahh! With a scream, I gently settled on the large, smooth back, and I was able to face the hordes of monsters who arrived late.
“Sleipnir! What are you doing!”
“Why are you taking the side of a human woman?”
Dozens of monsters that shocked and frightened me before I settled on the back of a giant black horse, now seemed like nothing. After all, it’s good to have a backup. I held onto his reins. The monsters in front of the burning hell horse retreated, and a familiar face appeared among them.
“Sleipnir. There must be a misunderstanding, but the girl stole the heart of the reaper without knowing.”
“Hmm, you mean the master’s heart? Only the master, as far as I know, knows the location, but how did you know it was stolen?”
“………The girl was suspicious and ran.”
They’re lying without batting an eyelid. I remembered his name and squeezed the reins. Sleipnir, a loyal horse, responded steadfastly and confidently.
“Anyway, she is someone who my master cares about anyway. Even if you accused her for a crime, it’s up to the master of the temple to judge. Now, clear the way!”
“Are you not believing our words? Your master and even you! Why are you covering for that sleazy human woman!”
“There’s no one bad who cares about animals!”
Besides, my aesthetic sense is also excellent!
Sleipnir raised his forefoot, bursting with a laugh and he started to run up the sky at an amazing speed. A black flame fluttered from six hoofs.
“You didn’t say you were going to fly!”
“Isn’t it natural as the world’s best monster!”
Without the permission of Abel, the owner of the temple, no one could leave the temple. Anyone. Because of this, we had to play tag inside the temple. Eventually, the demons followed us with forbidden wings-no one could fly except Abel in the temple-but no one could catch up with the fastest monster in the world.
He even kicked, breaking the barriers that had been engulfed in smoke, and sprinting to the main temple. Clop! Clop! There was no one who couldn’t wake up to the sound of six hoofs that could make the earth ring.
“What the hell is this!”
In the mess, finally the skeleton captain -sadly he couldn’t hear the sound well because he didn’t have an ear-came out, and the bloody chase could be stopped for a while. Yuuda, who had wiped his greasy forehead covered in sweat, gasped and said.
“That human girl, stealing Abel’s heart and running away, I’m about to catch her.”
“Fuck! No this isn’t. Anyway, no! You think I’m crazy and steal the reaper’s heart? You know obviously that the obsessed man will chase me until I die?”
“Well, look, look! The girl who lives with such vulgar words can’t be silent!”
“Because I heard all the screams to let go of the heart.”
“Quiet!”
The voices echoing from the Skeleton Captain made everyone quiet. The Skeleton Captain draws a bone sword and says.
“Anyway, she is the woman Lord Abel cares about. Step back! And Lian, explain. What happened?”
“Well, I went to the abandoned temple in the middle of the night.”
“Why did you go?”
I bit my tongue trying to speak casually. It is true that Abel implicitly gave me the location of the heart, but it was also true that I tried to touch his heart without permission, so I hesitated for a moment. Then Yuuda pointed out his finger, saying that he was right.
“Look! She can’t talk openly!”
“What are you guys doing?”
At that time, the monsters that were crowded split like the Red Sea. In the middle of it stood Abel in black armor. Abel glanced through the believers around me with his expressionless face and finally looked at me. In an instant, his blood-red eyes flashed his feelings, but quickly disappeared like a shooting star.
“Reaper! This girl ran away with your heart! Look!”
At Yuuda’s cry, Abel looked down at my hand. I was holding a box of his heart. It was true that I touched it, opened it, and, technically, ran away with it. I was sure I heard them cry out to bring his heart out. I heard a hundred more times. But there was no evidence.
When I was in a chase with Sleipnir, they didn’t say a word, so I was the only one who heard it.
“Lord Abel and that girl are connected to the thread of destiny, and it is the truth that we all know openly! That woman must have stolen his heart to run away and gain freedom!”
The blood-red eyes turned to me. Unlike usual, it was an unfeeling gaze, and my heart is somehow stinging at the insensitive gaze of the god of death itself. As a habit, I gave a gaze to the red thread connected to his chest, and slowly opened my mouth as I made eye contact with his sharpening gaze.
“It’s true that I touched your heart and wanted to get freedom. I didn’t intend to do that. I…”
“Give it to me.”
Abel, who was staring at me, reached out his hand. I thought he was asking for the box, and I pushed it, but Abel stretched out his hand and pulled my hand holding the box. In an instant, the cold energy was trapped in his warm arms. The cold armor touched my cheek.
“……Just say no.”
He lowered his head deeply as if to bury his lips in the nape of my instinctively stiff neck, whispering in a voice mixed with madness. A voice that seemed to explode at any moment broke through the ears.
“From me, you tried to run away, just say no. Just say that one word.”
