The Jelly Alien Will Save You!

Episode 68

Woooong-

The whale cried out long as if calling for Chae Heon, but Chae Heon did not look back.

His arms began to be engulfed in black smoke starting from his fingertips.

At the same time, the city moved.

Buildings tilted, and roads moved like conveyor belts.

The streets shot upward as if a volcano was erupting.

The Scavengers staggered and were swept down like a receding tide.

“Ugh, uaaaaaaah!”

“Aaaaah!”

“Help me! Grab me!”

“Damn it all!”

Screams erupted endlessly.

When Chae Heon reached the edge of the building, his entire body was already engulfed in black smoke.

He looked down at those who had been swept away from atop the risen building.

“What the hell is happening!”

“There are people down there!”

“Move! Move!”

Among the panicking people, a man in a flashy suit looked up at the blackened Chae Heon.

“…!”

The god of the Contaminated Zone was looking down at him.

Jino clasped his hands together, and Yellow Hazmat Suit glared at him with terrifying eyes.

Chae Heon coldly turned his back.

* * *

I put down the radio and moved to the courtyard.

Our plan went this far.

If Jae Hee couldn’t recognize Chae Heon, bringing the hypnotized Jae Hee here and knocking him unconscious was the best we could think of.

But I had made one more plan of my own.

To purify Jae Hee.

I clenched my fists tightly.

Could I, who had only failed until now, do well?

I set up a very thin barrier in the air above the courtyard.

And another thin barrier below that.

Another thin barrier below that too.

With my current purification level, I could only maintain three layers of barriers.

“…Too few.”

I worried whether I could really purify Jae Hee with such meager purification power.

“…”

I made the thinly spread purification power into a spherical shape, tried drawing stars, then stared at it for a moment.

‘What if my thinking was wrong from the beginning?’

* * *

Meanwhile, the tightly bound Jae Hee flew in one breath to the cozy house in the forest.

Below, a pink jelly was raising both arms and waving as if welcoming him.

As Jae Hee descended, his eyes fixed on the jelly.

The weakest individual.

A thick murderous intent swirled as he thought he should kill that thing first.

Crack, crack, bones protruded and muscles tensed.

It was the moment his body prepared to pounce immediately.

“Hello, Jae Hee.”

A familiar voice struck his mind like a blow.

At the same time, clear air enveloped him. It felt like a very thin layer of the thickly covering tar was being peeled away.

One layer.

“I missed you.”

Two layers.

“I’m Dam.”

Three layers.

‘Dam.’

In an instant, something that had been stickily tangled in his mind slowly began to unravel.

A refreshing and invigorating feeling.

In between, the soft jelly embraced his body.

Then the tar-like sticky energy seemed to wash away.

The jelly, noticing his strength had left him, snatched the umbrella away from him.

He saw the jelly holding the umbrella with a determined expression.

He was more concerned with the softness of the jelly’s brief touch than the stolen umbrella. The moment they touched, his mind became fresh and quiet.

‘I want to touch once more…’

Jae Hee instinctively reached out his hand.

The jelly, looking surprised, tried to take his hand.

But just before their hands could touch, Jae Hee withdrew his hand and stepped back.

It was because of a trace of resistance stuck like a thorn in his mind.

‘Where is the inheritance?’

He looked around.

Before he knew it, a woman with a whale’s tail approached and spoke to him.

“—.”

But her voice didn’t reach him, as if blurred in water.

‘I need to take the inheritance…’

But why exactly? Why did he have to do that?

Drip.

Drip.

Right on cue, red rain began to fall. It was corrosive rain caused by Jae Hee’s turbid consciousness.

Smoke rose from various parts of the house as it was hit by the rain.

The Space Spirits screamed and went into the farm, trembling, and the woman with the whale’s tail picked up an umbrella and put it over the jelly.

Meanwhile, a Black Octopus that had crawled over slowly nestled in the jelly’s arms.

“Jae Hee… Please stop the rain. The house will all fall apart.”

Why can I only hear your voice clearly?

Jae Hee slowly shook his head as if answering.

I can’t listen to you right now.

Because…

As he recalled this, Yellow Hazmat Suit’s voice seemed to pile up blackly in his head.

‘Follow my orders.’

‘Make it rain.’

‘Kill them all.’

‘Find the inheritance.’

‘Find it.’

‘Find it.’

‘Find it!’

“Find it.”

Jae Hee twisted his body following those words.

His body, breaking free from the tentacles, headed straight for the jelly.

But-

Clang!

Just before Jae Hee’s hand could reach Jelly, Kwon Bora blocked the attack with her sword.

“Do Dam! Stay back with the Guild Master!”

Bora, who had unconsciously been about to summon electricity, restrained her power.

Jae Hee, who used water, had an opposing attribute to Bora’s. If she wasn’t careful, he could be seriously injured.

Should she fight with pure physical force? She should have knocked him unconscious earlier… Bora bit her lower lip and charged at Jae Hee.

* * *

Older Brother led me inside the house.

I watched the two engage in combat at speeds too fast for my eyes to follow. The two clashed and separated repeatedly.

Kwon Bora’s tail flew toward Jae Hee’s side, and Jae Hee’s blood formed a shield to block it.

It would be good if I could restrain him with tentacles again, but Older Brother’s strength seemed exhausted.

But I couldn’t let the two keep fighting until Chae Heon returned either.

Biting my lip, I randomly shot purification power at Jae Hee.

But the purification power only scattered repeatedly, pushed back by the corruption.

‘…Is it impossible after all?’

No. I shook my head and took a deep breath.

I can do it.

Let me try what I was thinking about earlier.

If simply accumulating purification power isn’t everything… maybe Blue Jelly was just showing me that purification power can be applied in different ways.

“Older Brother, can you stop Jae Hee for just one second?”

Older Brother looked at me as if asking what I was thinking.

“Just one second.”

At my serious request, Black Octopus nodded.

It meant he would stop him when he saw the opportunity.

I gathered my purification power in the meantime.

Thin, very thin. So it could last for a long time.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The combat continued, and cold sweat dripped from my forehead as I maintained the purification power.

Black Octopus kept watching the situation with all his eyes open.

Kwon Bora leaped backward several times to avoid Jae Hee’s attacks.

Then, in a truly brief moment.

The washing machine blocked Jae Hee’s path.

The moment Jae Hee hesitated briefly at this.

“Older Brother! Now!”
