Chapter 143 - Chapter 140: Episode 138 - Sixth Sense
Sophia, the Demon King.
She had taken over my body, and she must have completely lost her mind.
The three people before me were drooling, their souls seemingly shattered, still suffering from the aftereffects of her torture.
Seeing them like this, I realized just how much more ferocious Sophia had become.
I shuddered, recalling how she'd once severed the limbs of over fifty demons, turning them into writhing maggots just to build an arena. Her cruelty knew no bounds.
I was terrified that my son, Seon-ah, might end up in a similar state if I wasn't careful.
'Not long after I gave birth to Yena... I shouldn't have let my guard down...'
From the moment I lost control of my body and started turning a blind eye to reality, I'd been unable to see what she was doing with me.
I should have been monitoring Seon-ah and keeping track of my own actions.
But because my weak will led me to ignore reality, that crazy bitch must have gone off to steal another body just to torment Seon-ah again.
'Another body... Could it be... Yena?'
Min-ah struggled with how to think of Yena.
She wasn't a child she had wanted, but she was still her child.
Yet, because she was also Seon-ah's daughter, Min-ah was momentarily confused about whether to call her granddaughter or daughter.
But that wasn't what mattered right now.
Whether it was her daughter or granddaughter, the fact that Yena's body had been taken by Sophia was the real crisis.
It wasn't hard to imagine that, just like her, Yena's spirit was trapped in a corner of her own consciousness while Sophia moved the body as she pleased.
Because that was exactly what had happened to her.
She remembered that after giving birth to Yena, whenever she let her guard down, she would occasionally clear her mind just to catch a glimpse of Seon-ah's face.
Seon-ah had seen Yena not as a vessel for Sophia's soul, but as his own daughter.
She felt proud seeing her son with such a precious child, but the knowledge that her granddaughter was being used as a vessel for the Demon King weighed heavily on her.
'Can I... turn it back?'
She racked her brain for a way to remove the Demon King Sophia from Yena's body, but she couldn't find an answer.
Even if she did know, she was a layman when it came to magic; there was no way she could pull it off.
All she could do was protect Seon-ah from the granddaughter who had become the Demon King.
Min-ah looked at the three people in front of her again.
The three she had sworn to kill someday.
Yu-rin, in particular, was a woman she truly resented.
After committing such heinous acts against Seon-ah and subjecting him to terrible abuse, she had handed him over to the Succubus to be sent to the Demon World.
She wanted nothing more than to kill that bitch right now.
Thinking of Hyeon-tae, who had died from the illness caused by Yu-rin, it wouldn't be enough to cut off her limbs and crush her head to console his soul.
However, because Seon-ah had chosen to keep her alive for Yu-ra's sake, she couldn't easily bring herself to do it.
Yu-ra, who had helped their family in every way possible.
She was able to endure it by thinking of the face of the woman who had apologized, admitting she had committed a grave sin by failing to raise her daughter properly, and who had even carried out that difficult Demon World expedition project.
Even if it was only for a very short while.
Besides, time was of the essence; she didn't know what might have happened to Seon-ah by now.
It was a waste of time even to kill them.
Min-ah checked her body again.
She couldn't use magic.
Because the knowledge of magic belonged to Sophia.
However, she could still use mana.
Strengthening the body with mana.
It was something she had done many times even before her body was taken.
Furthermore, if she combined this mana with her ability, sensory enhancement, that power would be amplified dozens of times.
Min-ah strengthened her sixth sense, one of the facets of her sensory enhancement.
After pouring a massive amount of mana into it, a sense that transcended human perception was etched into her mind.
It felt as if she could know exactly where her target was.
She could anticipate the direction of where Seon-ah might be.
Originally, the sixth sense was meant to grasp a specific location when an enemy was raiding from behind or hidden in fog.
But when she pushed it beyond its limits with mana like this, she could predict the location of what she was looking for as if she were a prophet.
Originally, the sixth sense was a derivative ability, a lower-tier version of detection.
Because of its nature, there were limits to what it could do.
Its range was shorter than true detection.
In terms of versatility, it was slightly better at sensing when someone was lying or plotting a scheme.
Of course, it wasn't reliable, as its accuracy regarding human psychology was poor.
However, now that she had pushed it beyond its limits with mana, it had become an ability that surpassed detection.
She felt a bit dazed, but it was a pleasant surprise.
With that, Min-ah finished checking her physical condition.
Looking at Seon-ah's room, which had been turned into a torture chamber, and her own house, which was now a wreck, she made a vow.
She would never forgive that Demon King for defiling their family's memories, her home, and the room Seon-ah used.

.
Following the traces of mana Father had left behind, I arrived at an officetel in Incheon overlooking the West Sea.
It looked like a terrorist attack had occurred.
One of the walls on the first floor had been blown away as if by an explosive, leaving the interior exposed.
Inside, Father's mana was leading somewhere else.
Yena's heart sank.
She began to fear that something terrible had happened to Father.
[Se... Seon-ah seems to have suffered something, please go faster... Yena... please...]
Sophia, witnessing those traces within her, seemed to feel the same way.
We both knew all too well how much misfortune Father had been suffering.
It seemed certain that this misfortune had befallen him again.
Since Father's mana remained in the middle of these blast marks, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened.
Yena finally shifted into her original form to move at full power.
Her child-sized legs were too short for a proper stride.
To move faster, she returned her body to its original adult form.
And she started running toward where the mana led.
Yena sprinted, infusing mana into her feet while maintaining a stealth state.
.
.
.
Dust covered her body from crashing through trees, and her hair was tangled and wild.
The woman, who looked like she'd just escaped from a mental ward, wore a mischievous smile.
"Is the game of tag over now?"
The man in front of her asked, staring at her.
"Yeah. I can't move anymore. Do whatever you want."
The man, panting and gasping for air, seemed genuinely exhausted.
"You say that, but are you trying to ambush me again?"
'Even though she looks like she's lost her mind, she's quick-witted...'
Seon-ah realized he needed to be more cautious now that his trump card had been discovered.
"No, I'm really exhausted... I can't do it anymore..."
"Really? If you're that tired, does that mean you 'can't do it'?"
Hyun-ah seemed to interpret his words in a different way.
'The nuance seems a bit different...'
He figured it must have been a misunderstanding.
"You seem to have suddenly become as strong as a physical ability user... I think it would be fine if I did it with my hands now..."
A sinister feeling began to rise.
'With your hands? What?'
"I don't think I'll need Mother anymore. Since your body has become stronger, I don't need to hold back my strength."
Fortunately, it didn't look like she would touch the woman he was protecting.
However, the conversation had veered in a strange direction.
Her tone suggested she had already caught him.
It was similar to saying she wouldn't go easy on him anymore, but it was subtly different.
Noticing the strangeness, Seon-ah asked again to confirm.
"W... wait... what are you saying? With your hands? What?"
"I'm saying it would be fine if I shook it a lot with my hands and extracted all your sperm. Naturally, since I was extracting semen in the car until just a moment ago, I thought you would have noticed."
Seon-ah's face turned pale.
He knew it was difficult for Hyun-ah to extract semen with her body, but he realized why she hadn't used her hands until now.
Now, the semen would be extracted one after another due to her handjob.
Thinking of his cock being overworked, he felt a sense of dread.
However, he pretended to attempt a negotiation to induce her carelessness.
"L... let's talk this out. I'll extract it myself, so please just let me off this once."
"Really? Then if you extract it about twenty times at once, I'll let you off. Honestly, if I did it and accidentally snapped it, that would be a big problem, right?"
'C... crazy bitch!... If I'm really caught in her hands, I'll dry up and die...'
"You crazy bitch, how am I supposed to squeeze out twenty times!... I'm not a dairy cow!"
'Ah... I made a mistake.'
He was so angry at that absurd remark that he flared up for a moment.
He had tried to negotiate, but he realized he'd made a mistake by raising his voice to refute that crazy bitch's absurd remark.
However, Hyun-ah, that crazy woman, didn't seem to care.
"Really? Then I'll try it first and let you know. If I do it once and it works, then next time you have to squeeze out twenty times yourself! You got it?"
As if that nonsensical conversation was even more fun, she said she would try it herself and started rushing at me.
'If it stays like this, I'll be squeezed out again...'
"A... no!"
As the terrifying realization that he would be raped again began to sink in, the word "no" came out of his mouth on its own.
Hyun-ah rushed toward him.
Seon-ah crossed his arms to block his upper body.
In the middle of that, someone dug between the two.
A woman holding a sword.
Her eyes were sharp.
Moonlight reflected off her white skin, revealing her face.
Seon-ah's eyes widened when he saw her.
"Ah..."
He wanted to hug her right away, glad to see that face after such a long time.
However, he soon remembered she wasn't his mother, and a corner of his heart felt stifled.
Hyun-ah stepped back in surprise.
The woman who had appeared suddenly ignored her energy, which had risen to the highest level of an S-rank ability user, and looked genuinely threatening.
"You... you are..."
She looked similar to his mother, Lee Shin-ah.
However, she looked to be around his own age.
But she wasn't someone he knew.
Looking at the way she tried to protect Seon-ah, and comparing her face to his own, he could tell she was family.
He couldn't help but think she must be his cousin.
