"Yes, is that supposed to be a problem?" Haru asked with a clueless expression, hearing the guy it shouldn't be possible to see through the barrier but guess what Haru heard this man's voice across the barrier and everyone saw him toss a man into the river.
"…" The man ignored Haru and looked at Hyun-sung and Nam-woon.
'A lot of people survived this time, is it because of that guy?' The man was having many different questions but he didn't want to waste his time here.
"You still haven't told us why you did that to Dok-ja-ssi," Haru said while looking at the man.
"Is he a companion of yours?" The man asked since it piqued his interest. The man in his thoughts seemed to have not noticed the possible tragic death he will be facing.
'I make shoes out of this pig's skin, No that might be too good maybe something like a dog collar? And we don't have a dog so that is perfect, since this guy is useless anyway,' Queresha was having some dangerous thoughts but she stopped herself since it looked like Haru had something in mind already.
"Yes, That is why we are 'asking' you?" Haru said with a little anger in his voice, it was fake anger of course. The man in front of him seemed to know a lot of things so trying to fish for some info was always good.
"There is no need for me to answer you," The man said in a flat tone.
'Is this guy the leader of this group? It should be that guy since he seemed to know a lot about the future and was quick-witted, but everyone here seems to trust this man even Nam-woon, let me check first, if he is dangerous I'll kill him,' the man thought as he used his skill 'The Sage's eye' and his right eye glowed in a golden color.
[The skill Sage's eye has been repelled by $%@ @$^&@#*%$ &^$@*, If you use that skill another time on the target you will lose it.]
Lightning crackled as the man kneeled down while clutching the right side of his face.
'What is this? I feel like my eye is placed inside molten lava, first that one and now this one, What is going on in this round?' The man was having a bad day since his skill was repelled twice this early.
'No that doesn't matter I have to kill this guy now, If I use my Sage's eye on him again it will really disappear,' The man stood up and charged towards Haru while unsheathing the sword that was on his hip aiming to cut Haru in half.
The others didn't even know what happened since by the time they blinked, The man had already gone past Haru.
"Haru-ssi….." Sang-ah shouted but her voice died down when she saw the sword in Haru's hands it was the one that was in the man's hand before.
SPLASH* THUD*
The man fell down on the ground with his limbs cut off while painting the ground red.
"W-What?" Myung-oh fell down on his ass while shaking at the scene; it was a shock to everyone present seeing the person who has been kind cut someone down was something that they didn't expect.
"Attacking people without a word? that is bad manners, you know?" Haru said as he turned around to look at the man.
The man just looked back without answering.
"So you do not fear dying, is that it?" Haru said while looking into the man's eyes, the latter didn't have even a little fear even his expression didn't change when his limbs were cut apart.
'Looks like this round will be a short one, just because of one variable another appeared, I'll remember him.' The man looked at Haru and understood that he stood no chance something changed drastically this time to have such a powerful incarnation come out of nowhere, and he indeed didn't fear death since it didn't exist for him but...
"Your eyes have a lot of hope for a dying person, It is almost like you are going to live," Haru said as he kneeled down to look at the man's face closely. The man looked closely at the glowing red eyes with strange pattern in them but he still didn't speak.
"Anyway here is your sword you can have it back," Haru lifted the sword above the man's face.
"W-wait Haru-ssi…" Hyun-sung tried to stop Haru but the latter had already moved the sword down and stabbed right next to the Man's face.
"You can keep your sword it doesn't really suit me," Haru said as he stood up and walked away from the man.
"Haru-ssi…..that… No, I guess it was necessary given the current situation, he did aim to kill you so that is…a normal reaction," Hyun-sung shook his head trying to adjust.
"What are you talking about?" Haru asked.
"That was awesome Ahjussi, how did you do it? His arms and legs flew like whoosh* when he went past you, And how did you take his sword? That was super cool, I've only seen that in manhwas, teach me," Nam-woon's eyes were gleaming.
Haru ignored Nam-woon and looked at everyone, Gil-young looked a little lost while Hyun-sung and Sang-ah were looking down, Myung-oh was staying 10 ft away from him right now.
"…You all don't need to worry about it, he is not dead," Haru said making the other look at him.
"Yet, BANG* Whyyyyyy? That is the truth,"
After hitting Nam-woon on the head pointed everyone to look at the man again and their eyes widened.
"H-how?" Sang-ah gasped in shock as she saw the man lying there just looking at the ceiling of the station with all of his limbs attached.
"I never really cut him, it was an illusion," Haru said like it was a matter of fact. Everyone looked at the man and saw that there wasn't even a drop of blood on the ground.
"Is that why Haru-ssi's eyes are like that?" Sang-ah asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Yes, I can't use the illusion without these and of course, there is a time limit to how long I can use them," Haru said as his eye went back to normal after a little blood leaked out of his left eye.
"H-Here use this," Sang-ah gave a handkerchief to Haru who took it and wiped the blood.
'Damn it I want that,' Nam-woon was jealous that he didn't have such a cool ability, but there was much more on his mind that just Haru's ability.
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is pleased with your stupidity.]
'Well, it is kind of necessary, an ability to make such a real illusion is really dangerous in bad hands, especially in a world like this where morals have collapsed. If I don't make obvious limitations they won't be able to shake off the fear that they are being controlled and that would lead to the group dividing, I don't want that to happen unless I aim for it. I need some reliable people aside from my own,' Haru thought while seeing that everyone relaxed a little, his words coupled with his actions till now have made the others trust him to a certain degree.
[Several Constellations are very interested in your ability.]
The others had a lot to say about this matter, it all felt too real to be an illusion. But it didn't really matter right now. Haru shared this about his skills with them even if he didn't need to, so pushing any further wouldn't be any good.
"Alright let's go," Haru said as he turned and started to walk away.
"Haru-ssi wait," Hyun-sung caught up.
"What happened?" Haru asked while tilting his head.
"Where are we going?" Sang-ah asked while raising her hand a little.
"…..Ah," Haru finally noticed it as his face turned a little red because of embarrassment, but it only calmed down the others since they saw that he was still the same.
[Some Constellations are looking at you with warm eyes.]
[500 Coins have been sponsored.]
[Some Constellations do not like the way you behave.]
[The constellation 'Desserts For Days' is saying it is saying the ice cream tasted good.]
[500 coins have been sponsored.]
'Why are you bragging? Do you think this will work on me?' Haru scoffed in his mind while clenching his fists.
[Wow, you all survived, well not all but this was surely a surprise don't you think so dear constellations? Now then let's move things along,] The Dokkaebi said as he snapped his fingers.
[Sub Scenario - Escape has been completed]
