My vision spun around. A huge, white-glowing blade split me in half in one attack. I’ve had my limbs blown off quite a bit until now, but right now my body was split in half. It was a pretty rare experience.

Mom!

In my dizzy-inducing spinning vision, I saw my lower body slowly disappearing into flame while burning yellow. In the meantime, the mini reapers ran toward me with surprised expressions.

They clung to my upper body and kept asking ‘Are you okay?’

The Blue Reapers were already sobbing and continuously writing something in the air.

< Make it not hurt! Please! >

The mini reapers probably knew that I wouldn’t die just because of something like this, but they still overacted. I tried to quickly heal my wounds, but the white flames which stuck to the wounds were preventing them from healing.

Just thinking about the face of the Hungry Ghost Reaper which resembled the Hungry Ghost as well as the ability of the white Hungry Ghost, I quickly figured out what its ability was. It was clearly the ‘white flame that burns all Objects’ that the white Hungry Ghost used when fighting the jellyfish before,

When I actually looked at it, I could see a halo of light that seemed to be a compressed white flame on the blade of the Hungry Ghost Reaper.

However, the density was incomparably higher than that of the white flame of the white Hungry Ghost, it almost felt like a coating made of light rather than flame.

Now that I think about it, It felt like a lightsaber from that space movie?

No… Since it sat on the surface of the blade, I should think of it as a type of sword energy that often appeared in martial arts novels.

The white Hungry Ghost’s flame didn’t seem to have the ability to burn through physical immunity, but the Hungry Ghost Reaper’s flame easily burned and cut through physical immunity.

If the white Hungry Ghost trained, will it be able to use flames that burn through something with physical immunity, I wonder?

As I continued to push more firewood into the wound, the yellow flames succeeded in swallowing up all the white flames. As soon as the white flames disappeared, my lower body grew back.

When I stood up, I felt the solid ground under my feet. I smiled slightly as I looked at the Mini Reapers who were cheering me with their hands high up in the air.

Now, let’s begin round two.

*********

Looking down at the tattooed woman who had her eyes closed and not breathing as if she were dead, the younger sister continued to shed tears.

Her older sister, who had said that she wouldn’t die unless her throat was cut, was lying there with her torso cut in half.

Unnie, Unnie, Unnie, Unnie.

You are my salvation, aren’t you? So please wake up.

Unnie, Unnie, Unnie, Unnie.

My only light in this hellish world.

The companion in my story who came from another world.

If I hadn’t insisted on going with you, would this still happen?

Did this happen because I insisted on coming with you because I knew that you couldn’t refuse my request?

Her head was a mess. Tears kept flowing out from her eyes as if her tear ducts were damaged.

While her vision was blurred by the tears, a scent like sunlight began to flow from somewhere. It was a scent that radiated happiness; a scent that forcibly calmed her mind even though she felt like she was going to die.

It was a terrifyingly strong mind corruption, just like what her sister told her.

When she put her hand in her pocket, she could find a neatly wrapped pill. It was the pill that her sister had given her to block any mind corruption.

However, the younger sister just threw the pill to the floor.

I’m sorry, Unnie.

I felt like I’d die if my mind was corrupted by the mind corruption.

Since you’re kind, you will forgive me for sure.

The Golden Reapers gathered around the younger sister and started patting her cheeks. That action was as if telling her ‘Don’t be sad.’

Then, when they looked at the corpse of the woman that the younger sister was still holding, a Golden Reaper tilted its head. It then smiled brightly and clenched both its fists.

It seemed to be saying, ‘I’m sure she will be okay, so don’t worry!’

It must be an illusion created by her hope, but the younger sister really wished it would be the case.

Maybe it was because of the mind corruption, but just seeing the Golden Reaper’s bright expression calmed down her heart that felt like it was falling into an endless abyss.

The younger sister grabbed one of the Golden Reapers and poked its cheek.

“It’ll be okay, right? It’ll be okay, for sure.”

The younger sister muttered to herself as she looked at the Golden Reaper with an anxious heart.

Nod-!

The Golden Reaper nodded its head vigorously and smiled brightly. Even though she knew it nodded its head without even knowing what she said, she still felt relieved.

Only then did the younger sister see the noisy battlefield. As the Gray Reaper grabbed the air and swung it, space was torn apart. When it grabbed the space, something like a black hole appeared, swallowing up everything within a certain range.

When the blade seemed to fly at it, the Gray Reaper suddenly appeared in a distant place as if it was teleporting.

The younger sister didn’t know much about the Gray Reaper or other objects. Even though she could tell at a glance that it was an extraordinary ability, not a single one of its great attacks was hitting the Hungry Ghost Reaper.

The Gray Reaper was a big, powerful attacker, but it didn’t seem to be at an advantage.

“Can it win?”

The younger sister’s soliloquy echoed softly in the fierce battlefield.

*********

I heard the sound of a huge blade flying towards my neck.

Whoosh-!

It was a sharp sound that was hard to believe was coming from a heavy blade.

I used teleportation to avoid the fearsome blade that pierced through my physical immunity. I appeared near the Golden Reaper who stood at a moderate distance from the Hungry Ghost Reaper. Then, I clenched my fist again and tore the space.

Clench-!

However, the space that was being torn apart did not reach the Hungry Ghost Reaper and dispersed.

The attack was ineffective.

At first, I thought the blade that pierced through physical immunity was the most annoying problem, but there was something else that was really problematic. Its ability to deflect all attacks was the real problem.

Countless Golden Reapers rushed from all directions to use Overlap on the Hungry Ghost Reaper, but none of them really hurt it. I was sure that they jumped straight at it, but their direction was twisted, making them just fly away from it.

It seemed like the reason they missed was because the space was twisted, but from what I saw, it didn’t seem to be related to space. It was truly a mysterious and strange phenomenon, an unidentified Object-like phenomenon.

Even the Golden Reaper, who had a good sense, tilted their head as if they didn’t know the reason. The water needles shot by the Blue Reapers and the punches of the giant Black Reaper also missed the mark.

Fortunately, I knew the source of that strange ability. It was the halo floating above the head of the Hungry Ghost Reaper. That halo was the source of the ability.

A simple ring of light just like what the ‘Eye’ cult leader used. Not only did they look similar, but the energy I felt from them was exactly like what I felt from the “Eye’ cult leader’s halo.

As expected, it was also just as annoying as the power of the ‘Eye’ cult leader.

It would have been better if the solution was similar to the cult leader which was < Collect the eyes from inside of the eye. > But unfortunately, the killing condition for the Hungry Ghost Reaper was more direct and simple. It would be even better if it was something like < Get a standing ovation from ten thousand people at the same time > like the Blue Lizard.

The killing condition for the Hungry Ghost Reaper was <separate the="" halo.=""></separate>

If it was a normal Object, I would have liked the clear and simple condition. But since I couldn’t even touch the Hungry Ghost Reaper, it became too difficult.

At that moment, the Hungry Ghost Reaper, who had been swinging its blade without stopping, suddenly stopped and opened his mouth.

“Kyuu.”

It let out a cute cry like the white Hungry Ghost, but I couldn’t understand what it said since I didn’t know the Hungry Ghost language.

Then, the Hungry Ghost Reaper extended its blade forward while radiating an ominous atmosphere before rushing forward and swinging its blade in a beautiful trajectory.

Unlike before, the blade flew in a strange sword path that transcended logic.

However, I dealt with such strange swordsmanship by teleporting to dodge it.

No matter how great martial arts were, they were nothing compared to supernatural powers.

But at that moment, something began to scatter from the Hungry Ghost Reaper’s blade. That something which looked like flower petals made of white flames were small Hungry Ghosts. It was a Hungry Ghost with a round body and short limbs. That Hungry Ghost shaped flames filled the surroundings in an instant.

At the same time, the Hungry Ghost Reaper took a stance as if it was going to strike down at any moment.

“Kyuu.”

In that situation, the Hungry Ghost Reaper opened its mouth slightly, let out a low cry, and swung its blade down. At the same time, all the Hungry Ghost-shaped flames exploded and began to tear apart everything around it.

The flames looked small and weak, but their destructive power was beyond imagination. In fact, they were much stronger than the swing of the blade.

My limbs were instantly burned and disappeared.

My whole body was in pain, as if it was burning.

In the explosion that left not a single piece of flesh behind, a painful will was transmitted.

Mom…

It was the will of the Mini Reaper who were caught in the explosion.

At that moment, in my blurry vision, I could see traces of the water golem that had been protecting the blue gods. Most of the water golems that had been protecting the Blue Reapers had evaporated.

Then, I could see a Blue Reaper with a large hole in its torso dispersing into mist while looking at me. It had a pained expression as if saying it was in pain but still fine.

And then, my vision turned black as every last bit of flesh I had left was burned away.

*********

White flames burst out everywhere as if a flash grenade had exploded. The Golden Reapers were all burned and disappeared.

The younger sister tightly shut her eyes, thinking that she would surely die at the scene of destruction. However, when the younger sister, who felt that she was alive, opened her eyes, all she saw was endless darkness.

Only the light from the halo floating above the head of the Hungry Ghost Reaper floated in the darkness.

And as her vision gradually became accustomed to the darkness, she began to see the completely destroyed living room. However, her surroundings were unharmed by the explosion.

Only the younger sister and the older sister she was embracing were unaffected by the explosion.

It was an attack targeting only the Reapers.

At that moment, she could see the Hungry Ghost Reaper looking extremely exhausted. Then, a small flame began to burn in the air in a corner of the darkness. As the red flame began to grow in size, an ominous aura began to surround the space, which had become like the ruin of something.

And then a black body appeared as if it was covering the flames in an instant. It looked exactly like the Gray Reaper, but it had black skin and glowed red. The black color of the Object and the red light emanating from within it blended together to form an ominous harmony like lava.

Then, a ring of white light appeared above the ominously pulsating crimson reaper’s head. It was a halo of pure white light that contrasted its crimson body.

Thump-!

As the halo began to emit white light, the sound of something breaking could be heard, and numerous cracks appeared on the Crimson Reaper’s body.

At the same time, the crimson reaper’s face distorted in anger, and it stretched its hand forward.

It was a similar movement to the posture the Gray Reaper often did before it grabbed the space.

Rip-!

At the same time as the Crimson Reaper grabbed space, one of the Hungry Ghost Reaper’s arms was ripped off. If the startled Hungry Ghost Reaper hadn’t dodged at the last moment, his head would have disappeared.

Then, the Crimson Reaper charged at the Hungry Ghost reaper, red flames streaming from the cracks that adorned its body.
