Chapter 337: Black Sky (1)
After just barely escaping Cassia’s sudden attack, Kwon Oh-Jin deeply sighed and sat on top of the treasure pile devoid of mana. “Haaa. So, what exactly was that all about?”
He looked over at Cassia, awkwardly twirling her hair around her finger, perhaps out of guilt for attacking him.
“It’s like I said... I felt the Heavenly Demon’s presence here, so I got confused.”
The Heavenly Demon and Kwon Oh-Jin both possessed the same Black Heaven.
However, she had clearly differentiated between the two and likely hadn’t responded to Kwon Oh-Jin’s Black Heaven. In other words, the Heavenly Demon had deliberately leaked his presence to lure her here.
“You’ve been chasing after the Heavenly Demon this whole time?” he asked.
He knew she was in the Demonic District, but hadn’t known exactly what she was doing.
“More precisely, I’ve been chasing his shell.”
“Shell?”
“Yes, the Heavenly Demon’s real body is sealed away in Niflheim due to the restrictions of the Law.”
“He’s sealed away?”
Was that why he hadn’t appeared in person and made contact through his subconscious instead?
