chapter 100
100 – Sepia Rebound 10
Watching Loki walking towards Dallun, Sepia recalled the recent situation.
“Sepia.”
“Ugh.”
Even just remembering made her face burn.
It was all because Loki suddenly used informal language.
His voice wasn’t originally bad, but unlike usual, speaking in a low tone and using informal language surprised her.
“Fool.”
Sepia involuntarily pouted sharply.
Surprised by the sudden approach and backtracking, she finally gathered her courage and stopped.
“Really, a fool.”
Approaching until their noses almost touched, she naturally thought he would reach out with his face and prepared herself, closing her eyes.
When she felt Loki’s hand on her face, she expected him to touch her cheek or chin, but it wasn’t the case.
“If you’re just going to wipe tears, there’s no need to walk up with such an atmosphere!”
After saying that, he chuckled, mocking himself.
Anyone who saw would probably think it was just wishful thinking on his part.
“No, wishful thinking? Me? No way. Honestly, if anyone were in that situation, it’s natural to have such a misconception.”
To calm her fiery face, she fanned herself with her hand, but naturally, that couldn’t calm the fiery expression.
Embarrassed, ashamed, and annoyed by the misunderstanding, Loki glared without saying a word, simply raising his hand to his head.
He didn’t like the way Loki acted as if everything would be resolved by just raising his hand to his head.
So initially, Sepia tried to brush away Loki’s hand from his head, but his arm refused to move.
Although he usually disliked someone touching his head, for some reason, Loki’s touch didn’t feel bad.
On the contrary…
“What am I thinking right now? Snap out of it.”
Sepia denied the thoughts that had occurred before hitting her cheeks with both hands.
“It keeps coming to mind because it’s constantly in front of my eyes.”
Deciding that Loki kept popping up in her mind because she could see him, Sepia closed her eyes to avoid looking at Loki.
“So, revenge will be fine if I do it myself.”
But closing her eyes made the memories even more vivid.
Loki’s voice, gestures, tone – everything.
Never once in her life had she thought about someone taking revenge for her.
She had lived thinking only about the revenge of the villagers and her parents.
Because she was the only one who could seek revenge against the villagers.
Even when she was insulted by Daron, she thought it was better to ignore it since revenge was a priority.
She only thought about the revenge of the villagers, never her own.
However…
Just when.
Someone is angry and moving for my sake, I thought.
My chest itched, and my tongue felt paralyzed, not moving.
So, I nodded my head because I missed the timing to respond to Loki’s words, and I didn’t want to show a fiery face.
When Sepia closed her eyes and blushed like that.
Loki had arrived in front of Da-run before I knew it.
Da-run, who until a while ago had been begging Loki with her head down, realized that Loki wasn’t looking her way and was now wriggling away like before.
But her speed was slow, so she couldn’t escape far.
Loki stepped on Da-run’s waist, who was crawling like a bug.
“aaah!!”
Da-run screamed and turned to look at Loki.
And she shook her body like crazy.
Loki thought it was because of what he said earlier.
Half was right, and half was wrong.
Loki had thought that he didn’t have any special talent unlike other special class students, but that wasn’t true.
Life.
Loki had a talent for manipulating life.
That talent rivaled Sepia’s spirit magic and Clara’s magic.
As evidence, Da-run was already engulfed by the life Loki was emitting.
And unconsciously controlling life, Sepia couldn’t feel any of the life Loki was emitting.
“This should be enough!! What did I do so wrong?!”
“…………………”
Without saying a word, Loki raised his staff high.
The action Loki took against Han-te was the most primitive, simple, and effective.
Violence.
Simple violence.
Loki brought down his staff, hitting Han’s face with the same staff.
-Thud!
“aaah!”
Once.
-Thump!
“Ughhh!”
Twice.
-Crack!
“Ughhhhh.”
Three times.
Four times.
.
Seven times.
.
.
Fifteen times.
Relentlessly, Loki continued to strike Daerun’s face with the staff.
Daerun, bound and unable to resist, couldn’t avoid the blows.
Turning his head was impossible with Loki’s foot on his neck.
“What is this now… Cough!”
-Thunk!
“Even like this, you think you’ll survive… Uwaaah!”
-Squish!
“Please, at least spare my life… Ueaaah!”
-Smack!
At first, Daerun was bewildered, then cursed, and now he began to plead again.
No matter how much Daerun begged, Loki’s hand did not stop, and the staff continued to strike Daerun’s face.
As time passed,
the blood flowing on the floor increased.
As time elapsed,
the number of teeth scattered on the ground multiplied.
Regardless of what Daerun said, whether his face was covered in blood, or he foamed at the mouth,
Loki raised the staff like a machine, bringing it down on Daerun’s face.
It was enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone watching.
“………….”
Before he knew it, Darun couldn’t even scream.
He had already lost consciousness.
Earlier, when Loki faced Darun’s subordinate, he refrained from hitting him when the opponent fainted.
-Thunk!
This time, without stopping, Loki continued to strike Darun’s face.
-Thunk! Thud, thunk, thud, thunk, thunk, thud, thud!
Just as Loki was about to raise his staff again to strike,
-Thud
Sepia grabbed Loki’s arm with both hands.
“Now stop! You’ll really kill him if you continue!”
Whether Darun lived or died wasn’t particularly known to Sepia, but Loki killing was a different matter.
No matter how harsh Darun’s words were before, killing was a different issue.
Sepia couldn’t bear to witness such a situation.
Although Loki stopped his hand, he didn’t put down the staff or remove his foot from Darun’s throat.
“……………”
“You can stop now. Huh? This should be enough.”
Sepia swallowed hard, waiting for Loki’s response.
Even if Loki continued to strike, Sepia had no confidence in stopping him.
“……Hmm. If Miss Sepia insists so much, there’s no choice.”
“Phew….”
After Loki put the staff into the empty space, Sephia let out a sigh of relief.
“Sephia, can you go outside the fog first?”
“Why? Aren’t you going out?”
Sephia asked with an anxious voice.
Surely he wouldn’t really think of killing me, right?
Looking at the condition of the deal right now, I thought it would be better to die. But I can’t die.
“There are still things I need to do. It will be done in 10 minutes, no, 20 minutes.”
“…Alright, but you have to come out quickly instead?”
Sephia trusted Loki, so she left those words behind and went outside the fog.
Loki, who was waving his hand towards Sephia, lowered his hand when Sephia went out of the fog.
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“…………..”
Dallun had already fainted, so he couldn’t hear Loki’s words, let alone respond.
“I still have a lot to say, but it seems like you don’t have any intention of having a conversation with me.”
Oh well, Loki took out water from the empty space and sprinkled it on Dallun.
“Ahahahahahahuk, cough!”
Dallun suddenly coughed as if he had drunk too much water through his nose and mouth, and the liquid that came out of his mouth was a mixture of water and blood.
“I told you earlier. You’ll be raped by a man.”
“Eueueue….”
Dallun spoke as if all his teeth had fallen out, like a baby crying.
I couldn’t understand what he was saying at all, but I could tell from his bluish expression that he wanted to say something.
He took out a potion from the pocket dimension and sprinkled it on Dallun’s face.
It boasted a fast recovery rate, the same potion he used on Lofri last time.
However, the pain felt during healing was proportional to the wounds that needed healing.
“aaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!”
Loki covered his ears with both hands, waiting until Dallun’s scream ended, then opened his mouth.
“I’ll make it a special face just for you. Enjoy it to your heart’s content, thanking me for my consideration.”
Using illusion, Loki conjured up naked men who walked away.

Outside the Mist
Sepia anxiously rolled her feet while waiting for Loki.
20 minutes after waiting outside the mist.
The fog slowly began to disappear.
And someone walked leisurely out of that fog.
“Uaaah~ Sepia! Really! It was a tough time.”
The serious look he had shown until now disappeared. He spoke with an endlessly light demeanor.
“Did your tone return to normal?”
“What are you talking about? I’ve been using this tone since I manifested in this world.”
“Haah…. Let’s leave that aside. What did you do in there to be so exhausted?”
“Ugh! It’s because of Sepia. Ugh, I don’t even want to talk about it.”
Loki shivered at the mere thought, as if goosebumps crawled over his body.
Sepia looked at Darun, who was tied with a rope, staring at the sky with unfocused eyes.
Darun’s face was covered in blood, but all the wounds were gone.
One of Darun’s subordinates, who was tied up, seemed to regain consciousness. He shouted at Loki.
“You there! What have you done to Darun!”
“Well, curious? If you’re so interested, why don’t you go and see for yourself.”
Loki approached the bound man and kindly untied the rope.
The man, eyeing Loki once, led his bulky body towards Darun.
“By the way, I borrowed your faces a bit~”
The man, not understanding Loki’s words, ran towards Darun.
“Darun, are you okay! I’m coming! Why is there so much blood in the world?”
The man touched Darun’s bloodied face to wipe it, and as his hand touched Darun’s face, Darun turned pale and shivered.
“Hic! Please, no more! That place is not meant for that…”
“Darun, I’m here! It’s me!”
Whatever the man was saying, Darun mumbled something while shivering and then fainted.
“What have you done to Darun!!!!”
The man, determined to kill Loki for whatever he did, rushed towards Loki but couldn’t reach him.
“Enough.”
With an icy voice, the man’s arms and legs froze instantly.
“Ah, as expected, the timing is spot on.”
Loki turned his head towards the voice, and there, coming towards them, was Joden leading the student council.
