Chapter 19

The chain that Moa’s hands couldn’t grasp was firmly caught by the forceps!

Moreover, the black mist that had been flowing from Jaseonghwa’s body toward Jin Dowoon was blocked by the forceps and could no longer advance, coming to a complete stop.

Hissss.

The dark energy struggled to break through the forceps, but the forceps imbued with Moa’s wish and divine power held firm.

Though it looked like a toy, it floated in place, firmly gripping the chain and perfectly blocking the flow of pain.

Soon, the chain that had been hanging between the blocked forceps and Dowoon’s body began to twist and wither as if drying up.

Fssss-

Unable to receive energy from Jaseonghwa, who could be called Geumje’s main body, it disappeared.

Dowoon had been freed from Geumje’s chains.

“Ahh….”

A long sigh flowed from Dowoon’s lips.

His throbbing head cleared, and the heavy feeling of the iron chains that had bound his soul disappeared.

‘It’s broken.’

He looked up at Moa in a daze.

“Brother… are you okay?”

Yeongang asked carefully.

Dowoon absentmindedly brushed his chest, then slowly raised his head to look at the bed.

‘It hurts.’

Dowoon’s lips trembled.

For the first time in a very long while, his heart ached.

Tears began pouring from his eyes like a waterfall.

At that moment, guilt for not properly saving Mother from Grandfather came rushing in like a tidal wave.

He felt sorry for not being able to properly empathize with his younger brother’s pain due to his childish thought of turning away from emotions.

Thinking that as much as he had become comfortable, Mother would be enduring pain alone made his heart ache.

“Mother… I’m sorry, I’m sorry Mother….”

Dowoon crawled to the bedside as if clawing at the floor.

Finally, Dowoon carefully grasped Jaseonghwa’s hand and buried his face against it.

“I’m sorry, Mother… Because I couldn’t do it properly from the beginning….”

The mask of the Master who had always been cold, perfect, and emotionless shattered into pieces.

“Sob… Ugh….”

Dowoon held his mother’s thin hand and wailed like a child.

“What did you do wrong, brother…!”

Yeongang was worried that his brother might collapse again and tried to stop him, but then he plopped down beside his brother, hugged him, and quietly wiped away tears.

Watching this scene, Moa let out a sigh of relief.

Just by looking at his expression, she could see that the pain was leaving Jin Dowoon and emotions were returning.

‘Thank goodness.’

Brother Dowoon and Brother Yeongang wouldn’t hurt anymore.

But Moa’s gaze passed the floating forceps and turned to Jaseonghwa, who had her eyes closed.

A beautiful person like the sleeping princess from fairy tales.

But she looked so cold and lonely.

‘Is… this person really okay like this?’

Moa placed the stethoscope on Jaseonghwa’s chest with a hopeful heart.

However.

-Diagnosis: Unspecified disease (User’s divine power is insufficient to view detailed diagnosis.)

A phrase similar to but slightly different from Imun’s case appeared.

[It means she’s still too difficult for you to treat.]

Somi, who had been quietly watching what Moa was doing, quickly explained.

“When will I get more divine power?”

Moa whispered quietly so as not to startle the crying brothers.

Then Somi shook her head.

[It means you need to grow more, so I don’t know yet.]

There was something Somi didn’t know!

Moa’s eyes widened in surprise, then she pouted her lips in disappointment.

‘So it’s not completely healed after all….’

Jaseonghwa’s treatment had ended as just a temporary measure.

Moa became genuinely upset and let her shoulders droop.

Still, she was about to think it was fortunate that Dowoon wouldn’t hurt anymore when.

“Hmm….”

Deep wrinkles of pain suddenly appeared on the brow of Jaseonghwa, who had been sleeping peacefully.

“Huh, huh? Where does it hurt?”

Genuinely panicked, Moa fluttered about.

She had definitely blocked the flow of bad energy tightly with the forceps.

Dowoon’s complexion had certainly improved.

But for some reason, Jaseonghwa’s condition, who had been sleeping peacefully, began to rapidly deteriorate!

-Wooong!

The black energy that couldn’t escape through the forceps writhed, having lost its way.

With the outlet blocked, that evil energy flowed backward and began to fiercely attack its host, Jaseonghwa.

Until now, Dowoon had been receiving the toxicity of that energy instead through the connected chain.

“Gasp, how did this….”

An unbelievable thing was happening before Moa’s eyes.

White frost flowers began blooming like poisonous mushrooms over Jaseonghwa’s pale cheeks.

“No, Mother…!”

“Mother!”

Yeongang and Dowoon also jumped up and were shocked to see Jaseonghwa’s condition.

The temperature in the room plummeted instantly. White breath came out with every breath.

Jaseonghwa’s body was hardening like a block of ice at a visibly rapid pace.

“What, what do I do! Sister is freezing!”

Moa rubbed Jaseonghwa’s arm while sniffling. But what touched her fingertips wasn’t human skin but a cold, icy sensation.

At this rate, it would be like saving Dowoon and killing his mother.

‘It’s because of me… because I blocked it too tightly…!’

Moa’s face turned pale. It seemed like the situation was heading toward the worst because of her rash interference.

“I’ll take it out again!”

Moa reached into the air with trembling hands to grab the forceps.

Even if it was painful again, she had to reconnect the chain to Dowoon.

Otherwise, Jaseonghwa might die.

But the forceps, already firmly fixed with divine power, wouldn’t easily come loose even with Moa’s hands.

“Waaah, it won’t come out! What do I do!”

[Wait, Moa, calm down!]

Just as Somi was about to say something to stop Moa from bursting into tears.

Crash-!

The massive closed door opened as if it would break.

It was Jin Saheon, the Head of the Manor of Jinryong Clan.

His gaze moved from the tear-stained faces of the children to his wife, who was suddenly freezing.

“…What is this.”

A terrifyingly low voice flowed from his lips.

The air in the room boiled tensely.

“No…!”

The Elder Chairman’s eyes widened as he saw through the open door.

The room was filled with cold air like a winter mountain peak.

At the center of it all was Jaseonghwa, white frost settling on her as she froze.

“Tsk tsk! Look at this, Head of the Manor!”

The Elder Chairman clicked his tongue and raised his voice toward the Head of the Manor.

“How dare a child with no proper background enter the lady’s inner chamber! The lady must be in this state because that child did something!”

He wanted nothing more than to grab Moa and throw her out.

If this weren’t the lady’s bedroom, he would have already done so.

The reason he could only stomp his feet outside the door where the children had disappeared was because of this.

‘Actually, this works out well. Now that the Head of the Manor has seen this mess, he’ll sort out the situation.’

The Elder Chairman clenched his fists and shouted.

“The cold energy seems to have already invaded her heart, so we must seal the room and evacuate at least the Master!”

“What?”

“The lady is unfortunate, but… isn’t she already a freezing corpse!”

As the Elder Chairman said, Jaseonghwa was frozen solid and dying.

Though they didn’t know where this cold energy came from, evacuating the heir from a potentially dangerous place wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

However, to Jin Saheon who was listening, it was completely wrong.

“Stop.”

Jin Saheon’s low voice rang out colder than the cold energy in the room.

“H-Head of the Manor?”

“Too late? My wife is still breathing. And you want to abandon her and leave.”

Blue flames flickered in Jin Saheon’s eyes.

As if containing his heart on the verge of explosion, yang energy surged within his eyes.

“Chairman, shut your mouth.”

“Kuk…”

The Elder Chairman’s breath caught under the volcanic killing intent.

Overwhelmed by the crushing force, his face turned red as he clamped his mouth shut and stepped back.

With dissatisfied eyes, the Elder Chairman glared at Jin Saheon.

‘Let’s see about this. No matter how much of a Head of the Manor he is, how can he possibly save someone who’s already dying.’

After silencing the Elder Chairman, Jin Saheon immediately rushed to the bed.

His wife’s condition up close was serious.

Her lips that used to call him “husband” like cherry blossom petals were now blue from the invading cold energy. Her already pale complexion from her weak constitution now looked completely corpse-like.

He lowered his head and brought his ear close to Jaseonghwa’s heart.

The beating of her heart was so quiet it was barely noticeable, and far too slow.

‘If I leave her like this, her heart might stop.’

The cold energy wasn’t pouring in from outside, but spreading from within Jaseonghwa’s body.

‘I need to melt it with my fire energy.’

Jin Saheon urgently drew up his internal energy.

His hands, dyed with heat, glowed red and emitted scorching heat.

Just as he was about to place his hands on Jaseonghwa’s chest.

“No! Move away, mister!”

A small shadow blocked Jin Saheon’s path. It was Moa.

“Get out of the way!”

Jin Saheon shouted urgently, but Moa squeezed her eyes shut while refusing to move and tried to push Jin Saheon away.

“I said no! If it’s too hot, something bad will happen to this sister!”

Moa could see it. Her safety goggles were displaying an intense warning!

‘The closer mister’s hands get, the more this sister’s energy is melting away.’

Moa could see two flows.

One was the energy of black chains that had also been connected to Jin Dowoon.

That energy was blocked by the needle and returned to Jaseonghwa’s body, stabbing somewhere below her navel as if attacking.

And from within, bluish cold energy was bursting out and spreading throughout her body.

Moa didn’t know, but Jaseonghwa’s internal energy itself was water-based and carried yin energy.

When the black energy cracked her dantian, the yin energy she had accumulated was pouring out.

The yin internal energy spread into the air, then met Jin Saheon’s yang energy and was destroyed, melting away and disappearing.

“That, that insolent brat dares to stand before the Head of the Manor…!”

The Elder Chairman watching from outside clicked his tongue in disbelief.

Jin Saheon was also flustered and hesitated for that brief moment.

‘If I don’t find a solution quickly, sister will either freeze to death first, or mister will shatter her completely!’

Moa didn’t know methods for healing humans.

But Moa felt great responsibility for what had happened to Jaseonghwa.

As Moa desperately tried to think of a solution, Samyeongrok responded to her earnestness.

Ding-!

-Main Mission: Resolve ‘Jin Dowoon’s’ flaw (Success)

·Hidden Stage: Jin Dowoon opens the door of his heart himself (Success)

·Reward:

(Stage 2) Adjust ‘Jin Dowoon’s’ pain level to 0 → ‘Spirit Beast Control’ ability activated

Somi, who confirmed the reward at the same time as Moa, suddenly stood up.

[That’s right, spirit beast! Moa, let’s check this human’s spirit beast!]
