Ugh.

  Sungjin fell down into an unknown space.

  His hand disappeared, and the space closed up. “Forget about all your illusions and relax in the world that I created,” said Varka in a voice of authority.

  [The battle is over. The challenger is defeated.]

  The Valkyrie announced in a voice without any emotion, and the battlefield disappeared.

  “Sungjin!” The girls were finally able to move. They ran to Sungjin, but he didn’t answer. “Sungjin……”


  Ereka held his body. He is still breathing.

  His eyes were closed, and his body wasn’t moving, but he still had the reaction of a living body. He fell into a state of suspended animation. It was not like any regular defeat. He was not back.

  Is your soul really ripped from your body?

  There was no second chance that the Valkyrie told them about. Varka’s skill had found the weak point of the rule and had sealed Sungjin’s soul during the first fight.

  “His soul went to where it is supposed to be. His body will lose its life and will fall back to dust. You should drop your illusions and let him go.”


  Ereka looked at Varka with eyes filled with tears. “If you call my feelings for Sungjin an illusion, I will keep my illusion. Sungjin will come back.”


  “Come back…… Look what happened to his soul.”


  A moving image came up among Varka and the girls.
