I Don’t Want This Reincarnation

“Ung? What?”

A woman with a youthful voice, different from her mature appearance, tilted her head slightly to the side.

“I didn’t know there would be so many guests.”

Even standing alone without any weapon, there was a strange atmosphere around the woman that couldn’t be easily approached. Hong Si-ah, who was looking at the woman with her eyes narrowed, said in her sharp voice.

“That… are you a doll? No way.”

Was it the new doll of the puppeteer she encountered at the gate of the G5 Area? When Hong Si-ah frowned in an incomprehensible situation, the doll, which turned to Hong Si-ah just in time, said as if it was funny.

“You’re the woman who broke my doll, right? If not, I wanted to kill her. Good.”

“Hoo.”

Hong Si-ah laughed at the confident attitude. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was watching the two with a sad face, called Kim Woo-jin.

“Kim Woo-jin.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll hold its attention properly, so take a look and go through the door. Han Yi-gyeol will be somewhere not far away.”

“I understand.”

“The dolls are S+, so they take care of themselves.”

“Oh, my.”

Hearing this, the woman covered its mouth with a voice of shock.

“The same as back then… You really know everything.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“Then do you know the name of this child?”

In response to that question, Cheon Sa-yeon opened his eyes to look back on the distant past for a brief moment. Slowly raising the corners of his lips, he smiled softly and answered immediately.

“Karen.”

As if the doll, Karen, answered the call, its shiny eyes sparkled.

“You really know! Amazing.”

“……”

“It’s also incredibly cool. Still, the plan to sneak in like a rat must be kept secret. Then it’s hard for me to deal with it properly, isn’t it?”

Karen, who had moved its chin and spoke like a human, raised its hand and tapped its green eyes, and white smoke began to leak out. The smoke, drawn from its eyeballs along its fingertips, turned into a hard object in an instant.

“What…!?”

Hong Si-ah hated the shocking scene and Kim Woo-jin took a step backwards without realizing it. Only Cheon Sa-yeon didn’t avert his gaze with a bored expression.

The smoke from Karen’s eyes became a huge sickle shining all-over silver. It swung its scythe, which looked heavy just by looking at it, lightly in the air with one of its hands.

Huung!

Then a red powder was formed and scattered in the air. Cheon Sa-yeon burned the dust flying nearby.

“I don’t think it’s the doll’s ability. Is it that weapon ability?”

Hong Si-ah covered her mouth and slammed the floor with her whip. Rumbling! The scattered cold air froze the powder that had spread around.

“Are you going to send him away? I’ll assist you. Let’s finish it quickly.”

At what Hong Si-ah said, pointing at Kim Woo-jin with a wink, Cheon Sa-yeon nodded his head, sprinted on the ground and shot forward. Hot blood flowed like lava along with bright red flames on his swaying sword.

Chaeaeng!

Karen’s scythe and Lilith’s sword collided, making a sharp sound. Karen’s high heels, which were pushed back, scratched the floor. At the same time, Hong Si-ah aimed at its leg and swung her whip.

Slashing Cheon Sa-yeon’s sword, Karen leapt over him and evaded her whip, wielding its scythe wide.

Kugung!

With a chilling sensation, Hong Si-ah hurriedly pulled back her body, a shock wave from its scythe ripped through her clothes and smashed the floor.

“By the way, it’s possible to attack from a distance, so you better be careful.”

“Ou, you should have told me that sooner!”

Even at a glance, the power was quite strong. Karen, who landed with a light movement, gently stepped as if it was dancing. Clack, clack. Its red shoes on the concrete floor caught her attention.

“Just keep aiming at its legs like you just did. I’ll take care of the rest.”

At the end of those words, Cheon Sa-yeon came running again. After confirming that the attack that had threatened Hong Si-ah flew straight, Cheon Sa-yeon gave strength to his legs and jumped high. Kwagwang! The powerful shock wave that flew in three branches had dug deep into the floor where he had just been as if it had been scratched by a beast’s claws.

Huuk, Cheon Sa-yeon swung his sword without hesitation in time for the fall. Chaeaeng, chaeng! The scythe and the sword collided several times with strong force. The flames roared like a beast as if it was about to devour the opponent at any moment.

Karen’s huge scythe was a pretty good item to block SS-class Lilith’s sword, but it was difficult to do a sharp attack because of its large size. Hong Si-ah, noticing that carefully looked into its eyes.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was in charge of the main attack, was constantly attacking Karen, so Hong Si-ah, who was in charge of the secondary attack, had to move so as not to damage Cheon Sa-yeon as much as possible. If she had rushed recklessly, it could only make the situation more complicated.

The moment Cheon Sa-yeon avoided the scythe that was aiming at his stomach, Hong Si-ah’s whip struck sharply. Hong Si-ah gave strength to her shoulder and pulled the whip wrapped around Karen’s ankle in one breath. Beetle, for a brief moment Karen lost the centre of its body.

“Ugh!”

Karen, who was about to be cut off by Cheon Sa-yeon’s sword that was drawn across it, hurriedly pulled back.

“Ah, that’s really annoying.”

Groaning in an annoying voice, it cut off half of its hair with its scythe without regrets, clinging to the barren flames of Cheon Sa-yeon.

“That’s why I don’t want to deal with incompetent people.”

As expected, it should have brought out a doll other than Karen. It was a hairstyle that it took care of. Sweeping through its shortened hair, Karen slammed its scythe on the floor once.

Kuung! At the same time as the sound of the ground rumble, the silver scythe began to be coloured with black light at high speed. Its elongated handle twisted around, and in the bladed section, a black skull with its mouth open popped put with a sharp scream.

Kkiiiiik—!

Bizarre faces in the shape of howling from the floor came up like a haze with black smoke. At the chaotic attribute that flew so thick that her skin was horrifying, Hong Si-ah shouted with a contorted face.

“Is that the S-class Shinigami Scythe? Why is that…”

Death’s Scythe. Also called The Grim Reaper, the item was a weapon found at an S-grade boss gate in the United States. Unlike most items with mixed attributes, the Death’s Scythe, which had only a strong chaotic attribute, was one of the weapons directly managed by the US government, which had decided that it couldn’t be easily touched.

“It’s fake.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who firmly answered the confused Hong Si-ah, grabbed it by the ankle, trampled on the creeping evil spirit, and fixed his sword.

If Karen was a non-puppet person, it would have passed out or went crazy sooner. The power of the chaotic attribute felt that much was amazing. Karen exclaimed in a joyful voice to Hong Si-ah, who was inevitably nervous.

“Let’s play properly!”

As Karen swung its scythe in the air, the evil spirits screamed and rushed towards Cheon Sa-yeon and Hong Si-ah, riding on the spreading poison. Cutting it down, Cheon Sa-yeon placed Lilith’s blade once more on his bloody palm. At the same time as the excruciating pain, blood gushed out.

Watching the blood dripping down the palm of his hand, Cheon Sa-yeon suddenly remembered Han Yi-gyeol.

‘…that’s strange.’

It would have been overwhelmingly longer than the time he had fought without his support, but for some reason, he kept feeling regretful. Cheon Sa-yeon smirked at the unexpected emotion. He didn’t know he would be sorry for someone’s absence.

As if to drive away his thoughts, Cheon Sa-yeon, holding his palm with strength, poured dripping blood onto the blade. As the scorching heat grew stronger, a bright red fire burned with blood and completely covered the blade.

In that state, Cheon Sa-yeon kicked the ground and rushed to Karen. As he leaned slightly on his back and swung his sword, black smoke cracked and Karen could be seen through them. Kkiaaaak! Kkuaaak! The attacked evil spirits burned with an unpleasant sound.

Kkigigigik!

Karen was able to block the sharp sword of Cheon Sa-yeon that came in with ease. Chijik, the red high heels glistened in the flames and were pushed back slightly.

“You idiot! With an attack like this…”

Karen, who laughed at Cheon Sa-yeon, stopped talking. Cheon Sa-yeon, who encountered in front of it, smiled as he curled the corners of his eyes amid the flames. The heat was too close and hot.

“……!”

It was then that Karen realized that Cheon Sa-yeon had been deliberately suppressing his ability until now. The scythe, which could not withstand the heat, cracked and broke, and a fire spread to one side of its face.

Kim Woo-jin, who noticed that Cheon Sa-yeon was pushing Karen with a different momentum than before, moved quickly. Karen noticed that Kim Woo-jin passed by it and entered the underground door, but it couldn’t stop him. If it lost even a little of its strength, Cheon Sa-yeon would break its scythe and cut itself in one blow.

A whip wrapped around Karen’s legs, as if waiting for it to pull itself out of the body late. Karen’s face distorted strangely for the first time, realizing that its movements were restricted.

“Damn, where the fuck is the bitch!”

Karen, who had spit out swear words wildly, turned its head toward Hong Si-ah, ignoring Cheon Sa-yeon. Then it opened its chin wide. Cheon Sa-yeon, who noticed something about it, gave up the chance to kill Karen and rushed to Hong Si-ah.

Kyaaaaa!

With half of its face on fire, Karen spat out huge amounts of poisonous smoke in a straight line from its open mouth. Cheon Sa-yeon pulled Hong Si-ah, who was bewildered by its unexpected attack, but her right arm was buried in poison smoke.

“Aargh!”

In excruciating pain, Hong Si-ah screamed and missed her whip. Her arms were contorted as if they had been severely burned and her skin was swollen purple.

“Uh, huu…!”

Hong Si-ah’s condition deteriorated in an instant. The venom spread through her body, making her face pale and cold sweat began to flow. It was not a fatal wound that would endanger her life, but it was too much to continue the battle.

“Get out of the way.”

Since they succeeded in letting Kim Woo-jin in, there was no need for Hong Si-ah’s help. After that, Hong Si-ah bit her lip strongly and nodded her head. She wasn’t in a position to be stubborn.

Meanwhile, Karen, who had torn half of its face by fire without hesitation, poured out blood and smiled. Hong Si-ah frowned at that strange figure. It was a look she didn’t want to see even in her dreams.

“Ah, poor Karen.”

Whispering in a voice telling it to die, Karen cracked its body. Kuung, when it hit on the floor with its scythe handle, an evil spirit that had been devoured by the fire of Cheon Sa-yeon arose anew.

“I’ll make you pay for ruining Karen!”

The bottom cracked and debris splashed due to its scythe that swung greatly in a semicircle. Cheon Sa-yeon’s eyes shone brightly through his softly fluttering black hair.
