Cinema Master

"Hey, Hey, get up," Ji-hye tried to wake up Hyun-sung who was lodged into the wall near the entrance. He was unconscious currently with blood dripping down his mouth.

Queresha looked in the middle of the garden where she could see Gil-young lying down on the floor, he was unconscious as well and Jung-hyuk standing up holding Dok-ja by his throat strangling him. As Dok-ja tried to talk some sense into him but it didn't seem to be working.

'Fuck, When did this sunfish become this strong?' Dok-ja was barely able to hold his slipping consciousness as he heard Ji-hye's voice. And he wasn't the only one who was wondering what was wrong.

"Unnie What Is go-Huh," Ji-hye was shocked when she saw a fist arriving right in front of her face without her even being able to react.

BANG*

"M-Master, Unnie what is happening?" Ji-hye was shocked as the punch collided with a barrier shielding her from the blow, she took this opportunity to step back trying to figure out what was going on.

But Jung-hyuk vanished from his place and appeared in front of Queresha this time.

[Yu Jung-hyuk has used the skill 'Hundred Steps Godly fist Lv. 2']

He instantly registered her as a threat since she was the one who made the barrier to protect Ji-hye.

'We need to get Haru up here, He is the only one who has a chance of defeating this Jung-hyuk in his current state,' Dok-ja coughed as he thought that Queresha was about to be badly injured as well, or so he thought as he soon saw Jung-hyuk was sent back flying with as an icicle hit him in his solar plexus.

[Yu Jung-hyuk has used the skill Ice resistance lv. 5.]

The attack didn't do much damage to him but it certainly surprised Dok-ja. The activation of the magic spell was super quick and it seemed to have packed quite a punch as well. But that wasn't really important now.

Dok-ja activated his skill to see Jung-hyuk's attribute window as he didn't have enough time to do that before.

* The character is currently in a loss of reason state.

'He already has the transmission Stigma, I understand what happened now,' Dok-ja knew that this stigma allowed Jung-hyuk to get skills from his past regressions and to top it all off.

'Why are his stats so damn high?' Dok-ja cursed but kind of understood why it was that way.

Jung-hyuk had raised his stats because he felt the urgency to do so. And the one who made him feel that way was Haru.

But currently, there was no Haru here, Queresha had somehow pushed Jung-hyuk back but even then it wouldn't be possible for her to face off against the current Jung-hyuk.

She was a mage and Jung-hyuk was a close-quarters expert with a shit ton of elemental resistance, the fight was as good as over.

"Unnie what do we do, Master is behaving ...weirdly," Ji-hye wasn't sure if she should say this or not.

"You just need to remember one thing," Queresha looked at Ji-hye as she was listening attentively.

"He was the one who attacked first," Ji-hye suddenly didn't have a very good feeling about this.

WHOOSH*

Jung-hyuk appeared behind Queresha like nothing with his sword clad in blue lightning.

[Yu Jung-hyuk has used the skill 'Phoenix Shunpo Lv. 1']

[Yu Jung-hyuk has used the skill 'Blue star weapon Aura Lv. 2']

SLASH*

Jun-hyuk swung the sword at Queresha's neck before Ji-hye could even open her mouth.

CLANK*

But the attack was stopped by a small barrier once again.

"Ji-hye go and look after the others," Queresha said as calmly as always while Ji-hye did as she was told.

And Jung-hyuk moved back a little before he unleashed a flurry of sword strikes aiming at Queresha's vital points wanting to kill her on the spot.

CLANK* CLANK* CLANK* CLANK* CLANK* CLANK*

Once again all of the attacks were met by palm-sized hexagonal barriers that kept appearing to stop the sword and disappeared after doing their job of stopping the attack.

Jung-hyuk suddenly looked down at a dark rope that was wrapped around his leg. He saw that the extending from Queresha's shadow and quickly tried to get away from there, but it was useless.

SWIPE*

His leg was pulled and before he could react he was flung into the air heading towards the barrier that was cast over the terrace.

THUD* BANG*

But thanks to his reflexes Jung-hyuk was able to land on the barrier with his feet and he blasted back at Queresha with full power reaching in front of her in split second wanting to cut her in two.

BANG*

Queresha didn't need to move or use her barrier as she had made a pillar of ice shoot up from the hitting Jung-hyuk's chest and taking him all the way up to the barrier dome, slamming him into it.

"Yay, Unnie that was great," Ji-hye was impressed at what Queresha had done.

'How is that possible?' Dok-ja's eyes were wide open as he saw the scene. Jung-hyuk was fixed to the barrier with the ice pillar and it seemed to have damaged him greatly because there was blood dripping down his mouth and nose.

Also, he was a bit perplexed as Ji-hye was cheering while Jung-hyuk her master was being beaten up like this. He surely didn't want a teammate like this, but Ji-hye had potential so Dok-ja was okay putting with this.

'But that aside, Is Queresha-ssi's supporting constellation The Greek Goddess Athena? No, it makes perfect sense,' Dok-ja inferred this on the basis of Queresha's outstanding leadership both on and off the battles, her wisdom and intelligence that she had shown this after, adding to that her using different types of elemental magic, but the final nail was those small barriers.

'Ok I need to tell her about what is really going on,' Dok-ja was actually a bit scared that the one who kills Jung-hyuk might be Queresha herself, This sunfish was as fragile as he was tenacious sometimes. So, Dok-ja didn't want to take a chance.

"Queresha-ssi, Jung-hyuk is being controlled by the Cinema Master, He isn't the one attacking us but the Cinema master is controlling his body to do so," Dok-ja said as he wiped the blood off his lips.

The Cinema Master was the worst type of enemy for Jung-hyuk who is a Regressor, Cinema Master may not be strong physically but his mental attacks were no joke unless one had a Mental barrier lv. 8 which can offset his attacks, because Jung-hyuk's unstable mind and his mental barrier skill's level wasn't high enough, Cinema master was able to get a hold of him.

This is why Dok-ja wanted Haru to come up since Haru had the illusion ability which would easily fool the current Jung-hyuk as he wasn't himself rather he was but a puppet of the Cinema Master.

"I see," Queresha said flatly as she looked at the old man who was sitting on a chair a little distance away.

But he didn't seem to be that affected by what had happened and looked somewhat happy as Queresha's gaze landed on him.

'It is a pity that he is under control, I would've liked to teach him a lesson he would never forget,' Queresha looked a little disappointed but she stored it in the back of her head as she wanted to end this quickly. There were many more important tasks that she needed to do then this.

[The Cinema Master, Simulation has used the skills 'Simulacra' and 'Mental Erosion']

The Old man raised his hand towards Queresha and a white-greyish aura stormed toward her completely enveloping her.

'He is trying to control Queresha-ssi? Damn it! that skill is much more potent than the phantom's, I need to do something,' Dok-ja stood up as fast as he could because if Queresha somehow fell under the cinema master's control, there was no saving them.

Queresha found herself in a very familiar darkness. No matter which way you look all of it was shrouded in pitch-black darkness.

There was nothing to be found here aside from the faint whispers that were coming closer to her with each passing moment. And before long, she could hear those words once again.

"Why are you alive?"

"Why did you kill us?"

"Die Die Die Die,"

"How can you live as if nothing has happened?"

"You took our family away,"

It was the familiar voices that she was used to hearing.
