Chapter 128 - Leave [2] (1/2)

There wasn't much preparations needed for Moon Jiwoo to do. Since she would be caught by Sookyung if she went through the normal way, she was suggested another path by Minnie.

Jiwoo wanted to inform Sookyung before leaving, but Minnie told her to go against that, saying that the matter would get complicated.

Although Jiwoo did not completely understand what Minnie was trying to imply, she followed her words.

It wasn't as if Jiwoo was going into hiding for forever, and she already left Sookyung a note in her room.

He would probably be understanding her after reading that, and even if he tries to find her, by the time he will finish reading that note, Jiwoo will already be at the surface.

Walking through the snowy fields, she wondered what her destination was. She didn't know much about it and followed Minnie's orders.

This portal was bȧrėly known to anyone, according to Minnie's words, and even if Sookyung searched for her, it wouldn't be possible for him to find her, seeing how no one would expect her to know about this.

”How far do I have to go, Minnie? Are you throwing me to some kind of trap? You are one of those person I can never put my trust in,” Jiwoo mumbled.

Since there was no one around her, she did not see the use of talking in her mind. Moreover, talking in her mind was something Jiwoo was more or less uncomfortable with. This way was much better to her.

”Geez! There is a reason why no one knows about it. It's because of how secluded it is,” Minnie said, ”And if anything goes wrong, you can just teleport out of the place. Now, hurry up your steps. Sookyung will catch up to you if you move this slowly.”

”I am already trying my best, you annoying brat! Try to come here and walk in such snow! You will know how I feel,” Jiwoo voiced out, ”My limbs feel as if they are going to break apart any second. Can't there be a easier way than this? Even if I am from the Red Clan, I do have my limits!”

”Stop complaining too much, and concentrate your energy on getting up further! There is a kilometre or so more left,” Minnie stated.

”A kilometre more? Are you trying to kill me? Let me take a rest at here somewhere before continuing. Ah! My legs are starting to burn,” Jiwoo commented.

”Don't you dare sit down to rest, Moon Jiwoo! If you didn't have those baggage with you, you would have been able to go further! Do you even have the need to take so many things with you? You would have been able to be cross through that portal if it wasn't for them,” Minnie vocalised

Staring at the baggage in both of her hands, Jiwoo said, ”No way! They are really important to me! All of them are limited edition. How can I bear to abandon them at here?”

”I thought you would be all depressed due to leaving Oh Sookyung and your love, but it seems that you are too leisurely to worry about these limited edition of yours.”

”Of course, Oh Sookyung can't compare when it comes to these limited editions! Do you know how hard was for me to get them? I almost had my hair almost pulled for one of these bags! How will you even understand the pain I had to go through?”

If truth was to be told, Moon Jiwoo purposely kept herself occupied arguing with Minnie, so that she wouldn't be thinking of Sookyung. Although it did not work much, she still did not give up trying.

Thinking about Sookyung caused her heart to feel heavy, and she was afraid that she would be giving up this if she thought about him for a long time. That's why, she complained through the entire way to keep her mind off of the man.

”Oh! Minnie, this almost slipped off of my mind. Oh Sookyung mentioned to me on how my powers were slowly decreasing. I forgot to ask him about this, but what does it mean?” Jiwoo voiced out curiously.

”It is how it sounds. I am sure you have noticed this by now, but recently, you get tired much more easily compared to before. Previously you were able to defeat Sookyung, but right now, it will be hard for you to go against a Pureblood.

Gradually, you will be getting weaker. This is because of how the new protector is being born, and the power is being transferred to him or her. This is something I am new to as well, so I don't know much about it.

As you know, rarely does a protector survive, and a case like yours is even more rare. That's because, you were supposed to die. That was what that was predicted, but Sookyung prevented that from happening.”
