As soon as I confirmed that she was Lim Jisoo, I scanned our surroundings. If Bae Jaemin appeared here as well, weâd be in terrible dangerâweâd be completely trapped.
At that moment, Lim Jisoo spoke first as her eyes followed my gaze, âAre you searching for Jaemin-ie?â
ââŠâŠ!â
âHe doesnât really need to be here. Iâm here, after all.â With that said, Lim Jisoo flipped the dagger into the air. The dagger coiled around her neck like a fish before rising into the air, wings spread as it aimed its blade at us.
I thought that dagger might be the same one that neutralized Seo Dawon. As they folded and flapped, the daggerâs wings looked similar to the one I saw in my first [Vengeful Ghost Memory].
At the same time, a terrible thought crossed my mind. If the dagger impaled its target with its wings folded and unfurled them from within the targetâs body⊠then it wouldnât be easy to remove that dagger.
âThe thing they couldnât touch even after Dawon-ie fell⊠Itâs probablyâŠâ
Lim Jisoo burst into laughter as if she thought my intense stare towards her dagger was amusing, âI heard you revived Seo Dawonâit seems you know a lot about his situation? How he died and all.â
ââŠâŠâ
âYouâre right. I broke Dawonâs spine and sealed his magic with this.â
ââŠâŠâ
âSince then, Iâve been using this as a âlucky mascot.'â Lim Jisoo smiled as if she were making fun of me. Simultaneously, Woo Ragiâs arms wrapped around me even tighter.
Startled, I looked at him; Woo Ragi was smiling up at Lim Jisoo. However, that smile didnât hide the Swordsmanâs bloodlust.
âIâll make a prediction.â Woo Ragi hurriedly aimed every point of his [Echoblades] at Lim Jisoo. She still had a grin on her face, but, when he fanned out his [Echoblades], she responded by summoning a long black staff.
âYouâre going to die todayâintestines all torn apart from that âmascotâ of yours.â Woo Ragiâs smiling face was simply blinding. It was so beautiful and vicious that it almost made me forget his normally sullen and sour expression.
Lim Jisoo twirled her staff once before leisurely mocking us, âOmo~ But youâre so scared that youâre shaking.â
âDidnât we tell you? Your younger brother also died while shaking and scared.â
ââŠâŠâ
However, when Woo Ragi talked about her brother, her leisurely expression crumpled into something more ruthless.
Her eyes gleamed as she glared at Woo Ragi. âYouâŠ.â
She was about to say something, but Woo Ragi activated his skill first, â[Hundred Blade Heavenly Flower].â
After invoking the skill, Woo Ragi covered my eyes with one hand as if he were blindfolding me.
Even through his makeshift cover, I could feel intense light exploding in the near distance. The roar of what seemed to be countless meteors falling in all directions made me block my ears as well.
Meanwhile, I could still clearly hear Lim Jisooâs evil voice ranting at us, âI knew it was you bastards! You sons of bitches! Where did you bury my brother?!â
âBury him? Did you think weâd hold a funeral for him or something?â
ââŠWhat?â
âWe just casually melted him down into medicine. Because itâd be a bother to do much else.â Woo Ragi didnât waver and laughed when Lim Jisooâs bloodthirst escalated, âI remember having a lot of fun since he kept begging us to save himâthat heâd do anything to live.â
ââŠâŠâ
As I stayed obediently in the Swordsmanâs embrace, I felt an unsettling aura that made the fine hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
âHa. HahaâŠ. Fine. Now that I think about it, maybe heâs alive as a zombie right now since he died with so many regrets,â Lim Jisoo said.
âDonât you dare compare your brotherâa human trash thatâs better off deadâwith a high-quality person like me.â
ââŠâŠâ
âJust look at my face⊠Itâd be a loss for the nation if I were to die.â Woo Ragi chuckled.
His brazen tone was so similar to that of Seo Dawon, I couldnât help but relax. Those two were truly close friends.
However, that moment of levity was short-lived. Soon, a cold wind blew at us. Woo Ragi shut his mouth and leaped high into the air.
And that cold feelingâthe feeling that something was freezing rapidlyâcontinued. As he leapt, Woo Ragi uncovered my eyes; only then could I see what was happening.
âThis isâŠâ The scene in front of me did not instill confidence in me; I couldnât believe Woo Ragi was so blatantly taunting her. I had no idea what sheâd done, but Lim Jisoo had frozen all of the [Echoblades], except for the one in Woo Ragiâs hand. They were unable to move, as if they had been nailed together.
Lim Jisooâs hair had turned silver; as she swept her hair away from her face, she looked at me, âNecromancer, can you bring any dead person back to life?â
ââŠâŠâ
âCan you save my brother as well? Then I might spare you from Woo Ragiâs fate of getting demolished.â
My hands trembled at her formidable powerâshe had changed the weather in our immediate area from no precipitation to sleet. But, somehow I managed to hold myself together. I bit my lip, âYour brother isnât at the level to sign a contract with me.â
And before Lim Jisoo could respond, I quickly summoned, â[Woo Ragi].â
ââŠYou.â Woo Ragi tensed, sensing something was amiss. However, soon, the force behind the dummyâs arms weakened, and we descended. He didnât let me fall and crash. Instead, after that momentary weakness, he held onto my body with a stronger and more robust force.
The dangling hair tickled my cheeks. When I looked up, a fully corporeal Woo Ragi was staring down at me. At the same time, I felt a sharp pain, as if someone was slitting my stomach with a knife. I kept eye contact with Woo Ragi, carefully composing my expression and hiding my frown.
âSo, I feel pain if I summon servants simultaneously.â
However, despite the ominous pain, I made the right choice to summon Woo Ragi. After all, the summoned Swordsman was much stronger than his [Dummy].
The blueish aura that surrounded the [Echoblades]âan aspect of Lim Jisooâs summoned snowstormâdisappeared, and the swords were able to move freely again. Lim Jisooâs expressions, oscillating between surprise and frustration, made it clear that Woo Ragiâs abilities in his summoned state far surpassed what he could accomplish while possessing a [Dummy].
No longer trapped by a thin layer of frost, the [Echoblades] aimed at Lim Jisoo again; she, in turn, produced a gargantuan shield over her body.
âI canât believe itâŠâ Lim Jisoo murmured, astonished.
Woo Ragi opted to ignore her and looked blatantly at my face. Lowering his voice to a whisper, he asked, ââŠHey. What the hell did you do?â
Swallowing the blood crawling up my esophagus, I shook my head, âFirst, we need to deal with Lim JisooâŠâ
Woo Ragiâs expression darkened, but he soon sighed briefly and grit his teeth. ââŠ[Heavenly Annihilation Blade].â
He began to use more and more powerful skills.
However, my body had already deteriorated by that point. I buried my face in Woo Ragiâs arms and eventually spat out the continuous tide of blood coming up.
I immediately felt Woo Ragiâs body flinch. I knew I couldnât hide the scent of blood at point-blank distance, but I had no choice. I didnât want Lim Jisoo to know about my condition.
Though I regretted spitting blood on my clothes, fortunately Lim Jisoo was none the wiser. She was busy frantically defending against the [Echoblades].
ââŠMake sure to capture the Necromancer alive!â She shouted.
âYes!â
Even though Woo Ragi was summoned and had access to his more powerful skills, the situation didnât improve that much. Lim Jisooâs men had somehow surrounded us without us noticing and joined forces with their superior.
â[Temptation].â Lim Jisooâs skill shot us all into darkness.
Woo Ragi responded by keeping quick on his feet. However, his movements and attacks were still quite restricted, as he had to carry me in his arms.
âNnngh⊠First, how about getting out of here? You can hide me, andâŠâ I suggested, cautiously. And Woo RagiâŠ
âClose your mouth and shut up.â
ââŠâŠâ
He snapped at me through gritted teeth. However, the hand that held the back of my head against his chest was so soft and surprisingly gentle. After firing off a few more powerful skills, he began to distance himself from Lim Jisoo and her horde as I had suggested.
