(6K, mega chapter, seeking monthly tickets!)_1 “Looking at the mission requirements, there’s really no way around destroying this tragic romance, even if I didn’t want to.”

Shaking his head, Colin dragged out the extremely long replica Han Sword from the “Storage Room.”

He actively dismissed the prop effect that reduced his presence…

Following that, flames erupted and rolled over his body.

It was at this moment that the “Spectral Witch,” standing beside the body of a former employee and clad in a complicated black gothic lace dress, glanced over for the first time. The exquisite array of eyeballs on her delicate forehead met Colin’s gaze.

It seemed she recognized Colin’s identity and knew he should be a member of the company, so she didn’t attack immediately.

The standoff lasted several seconds before Colin finally spoke, “He’s already dead. If possible, I’d like you to let it go, so I can help him find peace, rather than continue to exist in this form…”

Although the employee’s flesh had persisted in this state, his essence had already died, more completely than even brain death; his genes and everything else had been collapsing for who knows how many years, completely distorted.

Even with cloning techniques, it was unlikely anything could be cloned…

Even looking at it from a more esoteric perspective, Colin could not feel any trace of a soul or the like within the body.

So there really was no chance of saving him.

At least with Colin’s knowledge, there seemed to be nothing that could save him… No, that wasn’t quite right. Suddenly, he remembered a terrifying existence…

‘If the “Red Moon” took action, there might be a chance. After all, when the “Father of the Ocean” was just a lump of polluted, rotting flesh that had decayed for who knows how many years, it was brought back to life, a true miracle.’

‘If It were to take action, perhaps there would be a chance to save this pile of rotting flesh.’

‘But…’

Expecting the “Red Moon” to come and save someone?

Colin wasn’t so naive to believe that. That being not causing trouble was fortunate enough. Hoping It would save someone felt even less realistic than expecting “0-09 ‘Hunger'” to give up its desire to “eat.”

Of course, this was just his opinion. The likelihood of that ghostly woman accepting his rationale was almost zero.

Still, if there was a chance, he wanted to try to communicate and resolve the issue peacefully, avoiding conflict.

Unfortunately…

Before Colin could finish speaking, a sharp, ringing shriek like tinnitus burst in his ear.

A swelling and stabbing pain attacked his mind…

‘It seems negotiations have failed. But, is this some kind of psychic attack?’

Colin’s head throbbed, and he was beset by ringing ears, but he didn’t think it was a big problem.

Although the attack wasn’t weak…

But comparatively, when facing directly against a Level 0 Containment Object or an Ancient God, this was too feeble.

With his mental resistance, he barely considered this attack anything of note.

Meanwhile, as the “Spectral Witch” saw her attack had no significant effect, her figure disappeared into the air. The surroundings suddenly became extremely dim, as if the shadow effect intensified countless times, joined by a shrill and bizarre laughter echoing throughout the carriage.

Countless eerie and dark chains studded with thorns emerged from the shadows.

In addition, black spikes shot from every corner…

Feeling the chilling atmosphere above, Colin knew that if even a single spike hit him, the outcome would not be good.

‘The change in the scene around me is quite rapid… This method feels a bit like the ‘Domain’ only used by Eighth Level official personnel…’

‘Compared to that, which only unleashed fifteen percent on the train, this is indeed much stronger. Even if a D Level Personnel came, they would probably struggle to handle these things. It’s no wonder she graduated from ‘Script Heaven’.’

Internally commenting, Colin gripped the long sword and slashed forcefully, emitting a sword-energy-like flame.

The surrounding gloom seemed to be torn open by a rift.

Colin was about to ignite the flames on his body, but a sense of danger flashed in his heart, causing him to turn and slash with his sword.

“Clang!”

The heavy sword cut into a pair of finely curved blades inlaid with obsidian.

“Interesting,” Colin remarked, glancing at the slender hands holding the short blades.

With his brute strength that could easily overturn a bus, he was unable to suppress these runaway props in terms of power, even for a moment.

And after a stalemate that lasted less than a second, countless chains and spikes attacked, while the “Spectral Witch” focused her eyes on Colin again, attempting a close-range and powerful psychic attack.

If this combination hit, even Colin would have to pay a price.

But before she could complete this series of techniques…

Colin puffed up his mouth and blew out a breath forcefully. That breath turned into a burst of flame that engulfed the “Spectral Witch.”

Amidst a scream, the “Spectral Witch” faded away once more, her figure vanishing.

“In my life, I’ve never been afraid of being backstabbed,” Colin muttered to himself, having done plenty of work to ensure he wouldn’t take a knife to the kidney.

And it was after forcing the “Spectral Witch” to retreat that Colin’s flames burst forth even more, tearing through the “Domain” that hadn’t fully formed via the “rift” he’d created.

“Now it’s my turn to create a domain…”

Colin let the flames spread, ready to draw out the hidden “Spectral Witch” and restrain her.

But at that moment, as the flames reached near the portly “corpse” of the former employee, the “Spectral Witch,” who had been hidden all along, reappeared and stood in front of the body, her dense black aura erupting to prevent any flames from touching the “corpse.”

“It seems I have no choice but to offend you.”
