Suji opened her eyes wide and looked at the screen.

“Currently, a national crisis alert level of ‘serious’ has been issued in relation to the monster ‘Messiah’ that has appeared in the skies over Seoul. The fierce battle is ongoing, and it is difficult to obtain a clear screen of the scene. Therefore, we are sending you the screen from a distance.”

The anchor’s urgent voice and the appearance of the team members continuing the fierce battle were captured on the screen.

The team members flying around looked so small, and it seemed as if they would be crushed by the tentacles at any moment.

Suji’s palms naturally became sweaty.

“Not only Seoul, but the Republic of Korea, no, the entire world is in an emergency situation. All roads are completely closed to traffic, and ships and aircraft are prohibited from operating. The authorities are recommending that citizens continue to stay in shelters. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the authorities are preparing a second line of defense by adding additional manpower and equipment, and support teams are arriving from all over the world.”

The anchor reporting the news from the studio was also, in a way, fighting the battle together.

The anchor’s face turned pale, which was particularly impressive.

Noah, an American S-class hunter who had arrived before, was briefly caught on the screen.

‘When did he come?’

It was not common to send support to other countries, but if it was a disaster of the size of the Second Wave, support would inevitably come from overseas.

It wasn’t something limited to one country.

‘… … Everyone is doing their best.’

Suzy realized once again that there was really no place to retreat.

It was rare for hunters to broadcast the fierce scenes of their lives fighting like this.

However, she thought it was right to broadcast this.

That was why she asked, and the headquarters listened to Suzy’s opinion, and this broadcast was the result. It

might have been a cruel thought, but from the moment she saw the video in “Laurel Tree,” she had vowed not to hide it.

If they lost, people would know. Why on earth did they die? What was the cause of this destruction? Because I thought I had to know.

It was the worst to end up not knowing anything.

And it was ridiculous that I, who had made that decision, was hesitating here.

“The Hunters, led by Team Daphne, are continuing to be deployed to battle, but it is doubtful whether they can stop the ‘Second Wave’. I hope for a good outcome. I will also transmit the images of the citizens praying.”

The anchor on the screen sighed and clasped his hands together in prayer for a moment, and the screen split in two to show the citizens in the shelter.

Family, friends, and even strangers were seen hugging each other and praying with tearful faces.

Suzy clenched her teeth.

No one would be curious about their religion or to which god they pray now.

People pray when they are desperate and can do nothing.

Suzy knew that. She did the same thing

.

She had done it before when she lost her mother.

“If you’re a little later, you’ll regret it. “ I don’t want that to happen because of me who is already dead.”

Her mother spoke softly and pointed to the center of the round room.

She didn’t notice it because it was so dark, but there was a small black heart beating fast.

“The Messiah is the one who rules over death. The Messiah’s only weakness is being alive.”

Only then did Suzy realize the source of the heartbeat she had been hearing.

The Messiah’s existence was so huge and strong, but his weakness was so small and feeble.

She knew that no one would dare harm the Messiah who held the one she missed the most.

The answer was simple.

‘… … I have to get out. Get rid of that thing.’

Her heart was beating too fast.

Elaine, Peace, Saint, Aunt Yeonju, Uncle Seunghwan, and… … everyone.

There were so many people she had to protect.

She was going to do it .

She was going to do it.

She was going to quickly tear that thing apart and escape the hands of those lunatics who called themselves ‘Great Beings’ and ‘The Rogue.’

‘I definitely. When everything is over, I’ll have to learn how to swear from Peace.’ At

times like this, swearing would make her feel better.

“… … Mom. It was nice meeting you. Really. It was so nice.”

As if noticing her momentary hesitation, her mom gently pushed Suzy’s back.

Suzy looked back at her mom and asked,

“Don’t you regret anything, Mom?”

“No.”

As soon as the question fell, a firm answer came back.

As we met her purple eyes, I could tell that her answer was sincere.

Mom said, gently stroking her hair.

“I won’t write even if I go back.”

“Mom.”

“I was so happy that I could do that.”

Mom slowly hugged Suzy’s back. Then, as if she didn’t know regret, she quickly released her arms and walked forward, holding hands with her.

“You’ve made it to the end of the choice.”

Suzy felt like her head was spinning with each step she took.

Even though her mom was by her side, she missed her even more because of that fact.

But she tried not to show it.

Even though she said that, there was no way that she wouldn’t miss her during this short reunion.

I should at least be steadfast.

Before she knew it, the mother and daughter stood side by side in front of the Messiah’s weakness. Suzy, who

had sheathed her scythe and taken out , raised her sword.

“You’ll regret it.”

A voice suddenly came.

Suzy raised her tear-filled eyes and looked ahead.

Just as she had seen them the last time, Priya, holding a staff, was standing across from her, staring intently at her.

It wasn’t just Priya.

About thirty people, holding staffs and wearing loose-fitting robes, surrounded her. Nature was among them.

Suzy looked at them one by one.

On the subject of a pseudo-religious group.

No, there was a ‘god’ with such a clear entity. You couldn’t call it a pseudo-religion.

They were members of the religious group, “Messiah.”

Suzy answered firmly.

“No.”

Even if

there came a day when she would look back on that day dozens or hundreds of times because she was overcome with longing, she knew she wouldn’t regret it.

It was the moment when they all flew to stop Suzy.

She felt countless bodies of heat overlapping on her hands.

Suzy opened her eyes wide and looked to the side.

The only person holding her hand was probably her mother. Something invisible was holding her hand as well.

‘If I look at what I can’t see, is it someone else’s longed-for person stored in ‘Akasha’?’

Nothing was certain, but I had that thought.

Those who have already passed away wouldn’t want that.

They would be obsessed with the dead, and their loved ones would forget reality and stay in the past.

They wanted to destroy this place through Suji.

Suji’s sword swung just before Priya attacked her.

Crack.

It was the moment when a scratch was made on her heart that had been repeatedly shrinking and expanding.

Crack.

Water blacker than pitch black flowed out through the gap.

Even though it was a small heart the size of two fists, the black water continuously flowed out and soaked the floor.

The members of , including Priya, struggled to keep their balance in the astonishing torrent.

As soon as they got up again, they panicked and tried to block the gap in their hearts.

But it was all useless.

Just like trying to hold onto death was useless.

“Now leave.”

Suji nodded as she listened to her mother’s whisper. A strange scream that sounded like a dolphin’s cry was heard. The

black water quickly rose past her knees and up to her waist. Suzy tried to pull out her sword, but it was firmly embedded and wouldn’t come out. She gave up cleanly and turned around, looking at Priya with cold eyes. “If you don’t leave now, you’ll be buried here forever, whether it’s eternal life or not.” Priya sighed deeply and looked at the black water. “Pretend to be noble to the end. Pretend to be noble. I respect your will. But your will and mine are different. You go and pursue your future.” Not only her, but the others in “Messiah” were the same. They didn’t seem to care about being submerged. Suzy hesitated for a moment, but turned around as she watched the water rise past her chest and up to her chin. She had people she had to protect. Just before throwing herself into the crack she had made when she came in, Suzy hugged her mother tightly and pressed her cheek against her mother’s for a long time. “Thank you. Everyone. Everyone.” “I love you.” “I love you.” After leaving a kiss on her forehead, her mother gently pushed Suzy away from the crack.

Suzy tried to look back at her mother until the very end, but in an instant, her vision became blurry and all the scenery became distant.

It was only a moment before her vision cleared up again, along with the familiar dizziness.

Kieeeeeek!

When she emerged into the clear blue sky through the crack, an ear-splitting scream filled the entire space.
