I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 352

Starlight (4)

“Vega.”

The low voice echoed in the empty temple.

The silver-haired goddess turned around silently, as if she couldn’t hear Ojin’s call.

Jerk.

One step.

Take a step towards her.

[Stop.]

Wooooow!

Silver light burning brightly.

Ojin’s body, which was approaching Vega, stopped tall as if blocked by a transparent wall.

‘sanctuary.’

Oh Jin carefully smoothed the transparent wall blocking his path with his hand.

Pajik Pajijik!

Even if I just lightly touched it, I felt a strong repulsion that felt like my palm would be torn apart.

Vega continued speaking in a cold voice without even giving Ojin a glance.

[If you take even one step closer than that, you will be seriously injured…]

“Phew.”

Without any hesitation.

Without the slightest hesitation.

I took a big step towards the sanctuary that Vega had opened.

Let’s go, let’s go!

“Wow! “Wow!”

A blue thunderbolt that strikes the entire body.

A tremendous torrent of lightning tore through Ohjin’s body as if he had thrown himself into a fence carrying high-voltage current.

Ojin’s body, already in tatters from the battle with Riak, was violently thrown back.

With a terrible pain, the wound that had not yet healed opened and blood flowed out, soaking the clothes.

[I am my child!]

A frightened Vega turned and tried to run to where Ojin was, but then he bit his lip and turned back again.

[Didn’t you say that everyone will get hurt if they come too close?]

He shouted in a reproachful tone.

Ojin, who had been thrown away, staggered to his feet.

And then take another step.

I walked towards Vega’s sanctuary.

Let’s go!

When it touched the transparent membrane, it bounced back with strong repulsion.

[Oh, don’t come!]

“…Vega.”

Ojin stood up, holding down his shaking legs with his hands.

If I used the power of the Black Sky, I would be able to resist Vega’s Sanctuary to some extent, but I didn’t need to.

Suppressing the pain, I took a step closer to her again.

Let’s go!

Blue lightning blazed and Ojin’s body rolled on the floor.

[…How.]

Vega looked back at Ojin, who was lying in tatters on the floor, and bit his chapped lip.

The image of Ojin being wounded was engraved in my mind and did not disappear.

[How… How can he not listen to his wife like this!]

I looked at him with sad eyes and clenched my fists.

[Didn’t I tell you not to come?]

It hurts.

Every time I utter a single word, my heart throbs as if I was being stabbed by an awl.

[Now that you’ve come… Now that you’ve come and said that you have something to talk about!]

He shouts like he’s crying.

[You deceived your wife! Continue from the beginning!]

From the time I first met him at the gate that day.

Ojin has been deceiving her all along.

He wore a mask to hide the fact that he was the owner of Black Heaven and treated her.

okay.

The image of him she had in her mind.

His appearance that made my heart tremble desperately.

They were all just wearing masks.

[There is nothing more to talk about with you!]

A heart-wrenching sense of betrayal.

The memories she had shared with Oh Jin so far passed through her mind like a panorama.

Memories of the first time I met Ojin.

The sight of him caressing his cheek with a trembling hand and saying that he missed him.

Even the sight of him regretting the future he couldn’t protect and vowing to save the world this time.

Every time I turned a page of memories, I felt like I was going crazy thinking that it was all a lie.

[The main woman is you…]

Vega chews her lip, unable to continue speaking.

“….”

Ohjin slowly approached her.

In silence, without even making any excuses.

[Profit!]

Vega twisted his expression fiercely and stretched out his hand towards Ojin.

Rumbling!

A torrent of blue lightning was fired towards Ojin.

A torrent of lightning with a force that was on a different level from that used in the Demonic World.

The lightning of Jiknyeo’s nature, which can only be expressed in a sanctuary without the restrictions of the law, surged as if it would engulf Ojin.

Coo!

Ojin received the torrent of lightning with his body without even trying to defend himself.

Ojin’s body, which was thrown roughly, landed on the temple wall.

Smoky smoke that burns flesh.

The skin of the whole body was distorted hideously, and the internal organs were cooked by the lightning that had penetrated into the body.

[Ah…]

Vega approached Ojin, who was pinned against the temple wall, with a pale, exhausted expression.

[Why didn’t you stop it?]

The attack you just made was so dangerous that it could have cost you your life.

Even if it was a misdiagnosis, there’s no way they wouldn’t have known.

why.

“….”

Without answering anything, Ojin stood up, holding the spear like a cane.

“Cough!”

Black, dead blood poured down my throat.

Pieces of charred internal organs were mixed with blood and rolled around on the floor.

‘ah.’

This could really kill me.

As if it wasn’t called the constellation of the North Star for nothing, Vega’s power, free from restrictions, was nothing short of amazing.

‘still.’

Another step.

He approaches her.

I bounced off the sanctuary blocking my path and rolled on the floor again.

“Ah uh.”

I don’t even have the strength to stand up anymore.

Taang!

He raised his trembling arm and fired the wire shooter into the ceiling.

I stood up, dangling from the wire like a doll tied by strings.

[Stop that.]

Vega hesitates and takes a step back.

Ojin grabbed his fading consciousness and took a step closer to her again.

His wire-bound body moved closer to the sanctuary step by step.

When I was blocked in the sanctuary again and tried to escape.

[stop! Stop now!]

Her screaming voice echoed throughout the temple.

[So, you said there was something you wanted to say to your wife, right? [Tell me something!]

What did he want to say even though he was in tatters like that?

Vega glared at Ojin with fiercely opened eyes.

“….”

Ojin slowly raised his head.

He moved his blood-soaked lips with difficulty and opened his mouth as if squeezing it.

“Sorry.”

With a waning smile, I took a step closer to her.

“I’m sorry for tricking you so far.”

I know that this isn’t something that can be solved by apologizing.

I don’t even think I can be forgiven for deceiving her.

but.

Still, I wanted to say it.

I thought I had to say it.

[Are you just saying you’re sorry for being like that?]

Vega looked at Ojin with a bewildered expression.

A body torn by fingernails and scorched by lightning, in tatters.

Even though I was hurt so badly that it wouldn’t be surprising if I died right away, the only thing I wanted to say was that I was sorry.

“huh.”

Oh Jin nodded with a somewhat relieved expression.

As if there was nothing more to say.

[This…]

Vega furrowed her pretty eyebrows and raised her arms.

[You idiot!]

Ouch!

He slapped Oh Jin on the cheek and grabbed his collar roughly.

[There must be a reason why he deceived his wife!]

“….”

[Make up some excuse! At least try to say that it wasn’t because you wanted to and that you had no choice!]

A thinly trembling voice.

A transparent tear flowed down Vega’s cheek.

[Why… Why aren’t you saying anything?]

The hand holding Ojin’s collar loosened.

Vega collapsed into her seat and shed tears.

[Ugh… Black.]

When I first realized that I had been deceived by him.

When I realized that everything I had seen of him so far was a lie.

Because of the overwhelming sense of betrayal, I swore I would never see him again.

[So… that’s why I even closed the door to the temple…]

Just like my life before I met him.

I spent time in a temple with no one around.

Without meeting anyone.

Without talking to anyone.

As always.

alone.

[With that… I thought it was okay.]

At most, I’m back to the life I had a few years ago.

All I had to do was think of my meeting with Oh Jin as a lie, as he said.

It was all illusion and fake.

Life alone must be much more familiar to her.

[Your image… kept coming to mind.]

No matter what I did, Ojin’s image was engraved in my mind like a stigma and would not go away.

Rather, it continued to become clearer as time passed.

[So when you came… you opened the door without her knowing.]

Vega shook her shoulders with a self-deprecating smile.

When he realized that Ojin had arrived in front of the temple to meet him.

When I carefully knocked on the temple door.

Despite Riak’s warning not to open the door, he immediately opened the door to the temple.

[Whoa. What a foolish woman. Even though I was deceived like that… I can’t give up on you.]

Vega smiled lonely and held the hand of Ojin, who was keeping his mouth shut.

Even though I swore I would never meet him again or even talk to him.

I knew from the beginning that it was impossible.

Oh Jin has already become like a thorn in her life that cannot be removed.

[Please… say something.]

He said as if he was begging, holding Ojin’s hands together.

Why has he been lying to himself all this time?

It doesn’t matter what the reason is.

[Just say there was nothing I could do…]

“No.”

Ojin, who had kept his mouth shut, slowly shook his head.

You couldn’t help it?

At first, I thought it was possible because I didn’t know anything about Vega, but later it was different.

“It wasn’t something that could be helped.”

There would have been plenty of opportunities to talk.

If it were Vega, he would have trusted me regardless of whether he had the Black Sky or not.

The reason I couldn’t say anything until now was simply because I was a coward.

[….]

Vega’s expression hardened.

She turned her head with bitter eyes.

[You are so foolish, too.]

Didn’t you already say that you opened the door to the temple?

[It’s okay to lie, so if you said that, she would have believed you…]

“No.”

Ojin continued speaking as he placed his hand on Vega’s shoulder.

“I don’t lie anymore.”

I didn’t come to her to make lame excuses.

“You said you couldn’t give up, right?”

I carefully grabbed the chin of Vega, who was avoiding eye contact with her head turned.

“So do i.”

He pulled Vega’s chin and placed his lips on her mouth.
