I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

Kiing! Gigik!

The sword slipped all the way along the round curves of the scythe. Through the sparkling sparks, the doll’s smooth eyes and Cheon Sa-yeon’s black eyes met. As Karen vigorously pushed out the digging Cheon Sa-yeon, Cheon Sa-yeon, who retreated back, leapt to the ground with a light movement and jumped into the air.

Tak, kwagak!

Cheon Sa-yeon, who came down right in front of Karen, lowered his body and quickly drew his sword horizontally. Sizzling, Karen’s clothes were torn and blood was splattered near the collarbone.

“Iik…!”

Then, strength entered his strong thighs and his wrists holding the sword that was facing Karen turned round and round. It was just about the moment that Karen was trying to block the second attack that came in precisely at the neck with its scythe handle.

Kugugugung!

The inside of the building shook violently and concrete powder fell from the ceiling. In the meantime, Kang Seung-geon opened the door, panting for breath and appeared behind Karen, who opened the distance from Cheon Sa-yeon.

“What is it?”

“Th, that.”

As Karen shot with an annoying voice at Kang Seung-geon’s actions that had come up to this point without monitoring the kidnapped person, Kang Seung-geon’s lips trembled in fear. Seeing this, Cheon Sa-yeon frowned.

“Tha, that bastard… dis, disappeared. Th, this weird guy got a gun…”

“Ha…”

Kang Seung-geon’s white suit was stained with blood around his shoulders and thighs. Cheon Sa-yeon noticed that Kim Woo-jin had succeeded in saving Han Yi-gyeol, as expected. Karen sighed as it watched Kang Seung-geon gibberish in a pale tired state, wielding its scythe and hit the floor roughly.

“Ya, destroy the building.”

“Uh, oh, yes?”

“Use your ability to destroy the building. You stupid bastard.”

At that, Kang Seung-geon hurriedly nodded his head and raised his energy. Kugung, gung! The building began to shake in earnest and cracked here and there. Cheon Sa-yeon forced Hong Si-ah to stand up while flying backwards to avoid the falling concrete debris.

“Destroy it quickly! Destroy it!”

“Uh, gasp…!”

At Karen’s urging tone to destroy, it now began to vibrate violently to the floor. Tsk. Cheon Sa-yeon, who clicked his tongue to the thought of being bothered, raised his energy one more time. The concrete that had fallen over Cheon Sa-yeon’s head couldn’t withstand the heat and melted as it was.

Kugugugung!

When all the ceilings collapsed, the building couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly lost its shape. The foggy smoke covered Cheon Sa-yeon and Hong Si-ah.

* * *

Kugugung!

Cha Soo-yeon, who felt the ground shake with a roar, frowned. What was happening inside took longer than expected. She thought they would be back soon.

‘…it will be okay, right?’

She was standing in front of the building with an anxious mind and heard a clear voice from behind.

“Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk!”

A light brown-haired woman got out of the taxi and ran hurriedly.

When the management headquarters staff, which controlled civilians from coming close, didn’t stop the brown-haired woman, without explanation, Cha Soo-yeon recognized that she was a healer belonging to Requiem called by Woo Seo-hyuk.

“What about Yi-gyeol-ssi?”

“Everyone who entered haven’t come out.”

“Still? No way…”

At Woo Seo-hyuk’s answer, Min Ah-rin hardened her face and moved her gaze to the building.

“…there’s a high possibility that there’s someone else besides Master Kang Seung-geon. If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way we couldn’t have saved Yi-gyeol until now.”

“I think so, too.”

At the sight of Min Ah-rin, who quickly grasped the situation, Woo Seo-hyuk was surprised inside and nodded his head. Kururung, the sound of something collapsing and breaking could be heard constantly from inside the building.

“Can’t we go in now?”

“It can be a hindrance. Above all, Master didn’t give such an order.”

Min Ah-rin, who had a worried expression with her eyebrows down, let out a sigh of relief.

“I hope everything is fine…”

She heard that Han Yi-gyeol was kidnapped from Woo Seo-hyuk’s call and Master and Kim Woo-jin were at the scene, she ran frantically. She knew that a healer herself had no choice but to wait, but she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Cha Soo-yeon, who was secretly spying on Min Ah-rin’s side face, looked at the gloomy atmosphere. Somehow, that healer kept coming into her eyes.

‘She seems to be very close with Han Yi-gyeol.’

At the same time, Cha Soo-yeon’s eyes, who were looking to the side, met Min Ah-rin’s eyes. Seeing Min Ah-rin’s round eyes, Cha Soo-yeon was shy and avoided her gaze without realizing it.

That was then. A black car stopped over the control line and a man in a black suit got out of the driver’s seat. It was Ha Tae-heon, who came after Cha Soo-yeon’s call. Cha Soo-yeon, who saw him, approached him with a smile.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”

“Where is Han Yi-gyeol?”

As soon as Ha Tae-heon, who walked in stride, saw Cha Soo-yeon, he brought up the main topic. Cha Soo-yeon swallowed dry saliva and barely responded to his appearance that more relaxed than expected.

“Not yet. Still no news.”

“I’m going in.”

Ha Tae-heon, who cut off Cha Soo-yeon’s words, turned towards the entrance of the building. In his right hand, there was a black sword he had made with his ability. Just as he was about to enter the building, Woo Seo-hyuk blocked the door.

“No, Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon.”

“……”

Ha Tae-heon stared coldly at Woo Seo-hyuk, who blocked the entrance. Nevertheless, Woo Seo-hyuk didn’t back down with a firm expression.

“Get out of the way, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk.”

“We don’t know what kind of battle is going on inside. It’s dangerous to intervene hastily in this situation.”

In the past, they met a few times whenever there was work in the guild, so they already knew each other. Ha Tae-heon opened his mouth with an openly threatening energy.

“I know it has been some time since I received the call, but do I have to wait here longer?”

“Even so, entering without a plan will only make things worse.”

“In this case, safety cannot be the only concern. You must know Kang Seung-geon’s ability. While you’re doing this, there’s a good chance he’ll move from place to place.”

“There is a separate guild member who went to rescue Han Yi-gyeol-ssi. Master Cheon Sa-yeon and Master Hong Si-ah’s roles are to draw attention to the last. If things are going according to plan—”

Crack!

Before Woo Seo-hyuk could finish speaking, the ground shook violently and the sound of crackling and cracking could be heard from all over the place.

“Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk! The building…!”

The building, which had been shaking unsteadily, began to collapse quickly at the same time as Min Ah-rin’s astonishing cry. At that moment, Ha Tae-heon sensed something and pulled Woo Seo-hyeok, who was standing in front of him, by the collar and pulled back.

Kuung!

A huge scythe pierced the collapsing concrete wall and crashed into the ground. Kuaaak! Aaak! Evil spirits crawling out of the scythe howled.

“Oh, my.”

Next to it, Cheon Sa-yeon, who melted the concrete, came out of the building with Hong Si-ah. Cha Soo-yeon discovered Hong Si-ah’s injury and distorted her face.

“Master! Are you okay?”

“Healer Min Ah-rin.”

Cheon Sa-yeon handed over Hong Si-ah, who was being supported by him, to Cha Soo-yeon and called Min Ah-rin.

“Heal in moderation. Don’t run out of your energy. Han Yi-gyeol will be out soon.”

Min Ah-rin, who understood the meaning of his words, asked in a shaky voice.

“Did he get hurt?”

“I guess so. He couldn’t have stayed calm with his personality.”

Min Ah-rin, who couldn’t refute him, bit her lips tightly, nodded her head and walked up to Hong Si-ah. Cheon Sa-yeon turned away from that figure and found Ha Tae-heon standing with Woo Seo-hyuk and tilted his head slightly.

“Ha Tae-heon. Why are you here?”

“…I have something to talk about.”

Ha Tae-heon answered with sincerity. He didn’t think that Cheon Sa-yeon wouldn’t know that Han Yi-gyeol had been kidnapped, but he never thought that he would come and fight in person.

“Ahaha, what is it?”

A young girl’s voice intervened between Ha Tae-heon and Cheon Sa-yeon. Standing on top of the pile of concrete rubble with a giant scythe, Karen looked down at everyone and shouted brightly.

“Did two SS-rankers come to avoid losing only one A-rank? Isn’t it fun?”

“…doll?”

A doll with an odd shape was standing with a scythe with half of its face blown off. With an unusual presence, Ha Tae-heon recognized that it was the opponent who blocked Cheon Sa-yeon and Hong Si-ah.

‘Then what about Han Yi-gyeol? The building collapsed, but where the hell…’

Ha Tae-heon frowned and looked around him, but Kang Seung-geon came out of the wreckage.

“Uuh, ugh…”

“Haa. You’re a really useless pig.”

Karen mercilessly kicked Kang Seung-geon’s head, who had crawled to its feet. Cha Soo-yeon was surprised by the humiliating sight and swallowed her breath.

“Gasp…!”

“What… Master Kang Seung-geon!”

Despite Hong Si-ah’s cry, Kang Seung-geon only shook his head at Karen, but didn’t look back. Ha Tae-heon, who was quietly observing the situation, opened his mouth with an unpleasant feeling.

“Did he under mental control?”

Kang Seung-geon, whose forehead was torn in red heels, lowered his body even more while bleeding.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Hmm.”

Putting one foot on Kang Seung-geon’s head, Karen tapped its chin.

“What should I do? The plan is already over. Even Karen is broken.”

Karen pondered for a moment and as it had pulled out its scythe, it pulled out a red, round marble from its eyeball and held it to Kang Seung-geon.

“Here, eat.”

“Uh, oh…?”

“Ung. Swallow it.”

With a blank face, Kang Seung-geon stretched out his hand toward the marble in front of him. He decided that he could no longer watch, so Ha Tae-heon sprinted to the ground and ran towards Karen. Kugung! Ha Tae-heon’s sword separated Karen and Kang Seung-geon, but he couldn’t stop Kang Seung-geon from swallowing the marble.

“Oh my, so hot! But I like that pretty oppa more!”

Ignoring Kang Seung-geon, who was rolling down the concrete rubble, Karen jumped up and gently landed on the other rubble. Ha Tae-heon, who frowned at Karen’s playful behaviour all the time, said to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Master Cheon Sa-yeon. I will deal with this one, so find Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Hm?”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was watching Karen and Kang Seung-geon with his arms crossed, blinked his eyes at those words and pointed forward.

“If it’s Han Yi-gyeol, then he’s coming over there.”

“……?”

As he looked up at the relaxed words, he saw Han Yi-gyeol flying on the back of a red-haired man. Haa, Ha Tae-heon exhaled a sigh of relief. Han Yi-gyeol, who flew at high speed, opened his eyes with a blood-stained face.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi? How are you…”

He came down to the ground and tried to approach Ha Tae-heon, but a red-haired man grabbed his arm and stopped him.

“Get treatment first, Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Oh? But…”

“Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

“Min Ah-rin-ssi?”

At the same time, Min Ah-rin, who had treated Hong Si-ah’s arm to some extent, rushed to him. Han Yi-gyeol’s expression changed even more bewildered at her appearance.

Seeing this, Ha Tae-heon sighed once more.
