Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes held pity as he looked at Anna She was still a young child She was still at an age where she needed the warmth and support of a parent
It was unfair that she had to die without even knohy
“You understand now, don’t you? Why society rejects and hates fiends so , Marco squeezed his eyes shut He understood

“!” Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes widened He read over the y? And I can absorb it? This is…’
It was the sae that had appeared when he treated Choi Sun-Hee’s Nine Yin Severance Syndrome
His head started to spin
‘Impossible I’ve killed hundreds of fiends, but this has never happened before’
