The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 43
“Get back!”
But even in the urgent moment when the lightning spear came flying, Chae Heon remained calm.
He picked up a stone that was rolling around on the ground and crushed it into powder with one hand.
Then, as the lightning spear flew close, he scattered the stone powder forward.
Pababaabang!
Pop! Pop pop!
The scattered stone fragments began to explode forward with small explosive sounds like popping beans.
The chain explosions that spread forward like a casting net swallowed up Older Sister’s attack and emitted intense light.
The two attacks clashed intensely, but there was no major shockwave.
Only small sparks scattered like dust.
Older Sister’s attack, which boasted the strongest offensive power, was neutralized cleanly and anticlimactically.
Was she angry that her attack was blocked?
The sparks around Older Sister were becoming more intense.
Soon, a spear larger and more ferocious-looking than the previous one began to form overhead.
If the attack was weak, then next time it would be stronger.
This was Older Sister’s usual method, whose limits of power were unknown.
“…!”
I gaped at the tremendous lightning javelin that Older Sister had created.
Could Chae Heon block that?
No, even if he could block it, would this building remain intact?
Chae Heon must have been worried about this too, as he was signaling to Captain Gong Ju Won. It meant to get out of here right now.
“Jelly-nim!”
Captain Gong Ju Won, who had read Chae Heon’s signal, grabbed my hand and started running.
I looked back.
The javelin was getting bigger and bigger.
No matter how ignorant I was about combat, I could tell it would be difficult to escape the attack range in time like this.
Captain Gong Ju Won held me and stopped in front of the railing to jump to another building entirely.
Whoooooo-
A fierce wind blew.
Even for a Hunter, it was strong enough wind to make jumping across in one go difficult.
‘What should I do…’
I desperately racked my brain.
I needed someone who could handle this situation.
Someone who could stop this fight.
Someone who had meaning to Older Sister.
“…”
Someone naturally came to mind.
There was only one person who could do that right now.
I looked at Older Brother who was struggling in my arms.
Older Brother seemed to feel my gaze and met my eyes.
I pressed my forehead against Older Brother’s and whispered desperately.
“Older Brother, please…”
“…?!”
I immediately opened the Cosmic Market and looked at the most expensive ‘Human Skin’ in the skin section.
Objectively speaking, I couldn’t stop the fight between these peak-level powerhouses right now.
The only one who could do this was…
“Only you, Older Brother.”
Older Brother’s eyes widened. He seemed not to understand my words properly.
Of course. Older Brother wouldn’t know that I could turn him into a human.
I lifted Older Brother with both hands. Then I chose to purchase ‘Human Skin’.
[Insufficient Cosmic Coins.]
[Would you like to use the Representative Authority Coupon?]
Notification windows appeared one after another. I nodded.
Soon a very small clothes hanger came into my hands.
On the hanger hung soft and supple apricot-toned skin that perfectly reproduced the shape of a head, torso, and limbs.
When I touched the skin, a notification window appeared before my eyes.
[Would you like to equip the ‘Human Skin’ skin?]
I pressed ‘No’.
And I handed the human skin to Older Brother.
From the way his bright yellow eyes widened, it seemed Older Brother had also realized what this meant.
I smiled.
“I’ll turn you into a human, Older Brother.”

Kwon Bora felt her power running wild out of control.
Savage lightning raged inside her body covered with anger, and electricity went berserk every time her emotions overflowed.
Right now she was moving purely on instinct to protect her guild members.
She looked at the enemy before her, but her vision was blurry and she couldn’t see anything properly. It just swayed and moved in her hazy field of vision.
‘I have to kill.’
I have to protect the guild members.
This time for sure…!
That was the moment.
A shadow large enough to cover the entire building struck her. It was a tentacle-shaped shadow that seemed to extend from the ground.
The shadow was so thick and dark that you couldn’t see even an inch ahead properly.
Tap.
There was the sound of a heel hitting the floor.
At the same time.
The giant lightning javelin she had created disappeared.
It wasn’t deflected or scattered, but completely vanished as if its very existence had been erased from thin air.
“…!”
A moment of reason flickered in Kwon Bora’s blurry eyes. The unexpected situation had brought her mind back for a moment.
A black silhouette moved like ripples in the shadow.
As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could tell what it was.
It was a man in a black suit.
In this place that was a mess from the remnants of battle, he alone was neat as if he had come out of a different painting.
But what was more surprising was something else.
Bora blinked as if she couldn’t believe it.
Her gaze wouldn’t leave the man’s outline.
A very familiar form.
She felt like she could sense the body warmth of someone she had once entrusted her back to countless times.
Familiar yellow eyes looked at her from under black hair.
When their eyes met, she flinched and trembled as if electricity had run through her entire body.
‘…Guild Leader?’
But then, something whispered from deep in her mind.
̪͔It’s̳̬᷄̓̓̀͠ a ̛̘̳᷄̓lie̬̪.
“Bora.”
“Guild Leader…”
͚᷄That̳᷄̓̑ can’t͓̠͂ ̢᷆͟be̩͚̓ ͇̎̏᷄possiblë̹̄ͅ, right͔᷄?̱
‘…Right. The guild members are under that desk.’
That’s not the person I need to protect.
‘That’s right.’
Bora gritted her teeth.
She tried to summon her power again.
But.
Crack-
The moment electricity sparked, she realized.
Her power wouldn’t obey her.
As if it wasn’t permitted.
“…!”
Bora’s breath trembled faintly.
There was only one person who could make her like this.
Queisa’s guild leader.
Do Gyeol.
Dressed neatly in a suit, he was approaching her.
“Stop.”
Her wrist that had been pointing toward the sky was caught by a large hand and lowered.
That’s not the person you’ve been waiting for!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The frenzied power seemed to want to burst through her skin.
But a gentle force pressed her down firmly.
“If you do this, Dam will get hurt.”
What?
“Dam?”
Her body unconsciously froze.
Beyond the hospital’s distinctive disinfectant smell, she could almost catch that child’s scent at the tip of her nose.
That child’s warm body temperature when holding her hand, always telling her not to get hurt when going to dungeons.
The laughter full of life even during the bleak hospital stay.
That’s when it happened.
“Older Sister….”
It was Do Dam’s voice.
Her heart tightened at the voice that was uncharacteristically timid and dejected.
“…Dam?”
Kwon Bora turned her head toward where the sound came from.
And her eyes widened at what came into view.
That small pink thing came down from the rooftop and ran straight toward her.
“Jelly!”
She could hear someone trying to stop him from behind, but Dam didn’t stop and approached Bora, grabbing her hand tightly.
Two soft, small hands gripped her hand firmly.
“…!”
She used all her strength to control her rampaging power so that soft, small thing wouldn’t get hurt.
At that moment, a desperate voice was heard.
“Jeong Hwa!”
