Chapter 237

Tul Natra sighed as he spoke with a pensive face after hearing the story.

“…There’s no way.”

“What?”

“There’s no way to restore a body that’s already broken…”

Bell Natra quickly asked, with a trembling voice that sounded like grasping at straws.

“What about the Red Timestone?”

“The power of the Timestone that Jin absorbed is superior, so even the Red Timestone is impossible. Bell. You know this too. The Red Timestone and the Blue Timestone are just ‘fragments’ of the Timestone.”

At Tul Natra’s words, Bell Natra buried his face in his palms. 

Shadowman looked out the window with shaking eyes. 

His clenched fists trembled with force.

Then, an alarm sounded.

The scholar who had been rolling his eyes on the floor tapped the keyboard and said.

“Uh… The last generator seems to be nearby.”

Tul Natra, who had been staring at the floor, lifted his head.

“I’ll go with you.”

The wormhole generator was installed in Central Park. 

Tul Natra’s appearance caused a stir among the Natrains.

Jin Natra smiled at the arrival of the three. Half of Jin Natra’s face was covered with black branches. 

And the branches on his chin were cracked and white light was leaking out.

“I told you.”

“I’ll take away ‘everything’ that’s precious to you.”

Tul Natra’s pupils shook.

“I can’t leave out ‘Jin Natra’ from there.”

The audience and Imiyeon, who had been hoping it wasn’t true, unconsciously opened their mouths.

Who would dare to risk their own life for revenge?

“Choose.”

Jin Natra grinned.

“Will you give up? The Earth or Natra?”

The answer was obvious.

That’s why it was a cruel choice.

The audience realized from Bell Natra’s words that everything was Jin Natra’s plan.

They couldn’t even be surprised anymore. How much did he calculate from where to where?

He smiled brightly and innocently like the young and naive Jin Natra who knew nothing.

“Father. Will you make me unhappy again?”

“Shadowman. Will you not save me again?”

“Bell. Will you abandon me again?”

Jin Natra’s words pierced the hearts of the three. 

A heavy guilt weighed on them.

“Come on. Choose.”

Woo woo woo!

Jin Natra, who had been smiling brightly, raised his hands to the wormhole generator.

As the last wormhole was created, Jin Natra’s shadow grew in size. 

A wave of shadow with substance overturned Central Park. 

The shadow swept over the trees and the ground like a tsunami, and the three dodged it.

And the battle began.

Jin Natra’s shadow, which had dyed the ground black, rose like a needle and pierced through the spaceships.

The spaceships flying in the air were frozen in place. 

Bang! Kwaang! 

The sound of exploding spaceships was heard.

Shadowman, Bell Natra, and Tul Natra ran around on top of the spaceships and overturned trees, trying to stop Jin Natra, but the difference in power was evident.

Kwoong!

A huge vibration rang out and the scholar who was left in the spaceship shouted.

-It’s a sign of collision!

There wasn’t much time left.

Tul Natra moved first as he saw Shadowman and Bell Natra still hesitating. 

Tul Natra bit his lip and attacked first, hitting Jin Natra’s body, which was cracking due to his inability to control the power of the absorbed Timestone.

Following Tul Natra, Bell Natra also attacked Jin Natra. 

Jin Natra, who had been attacked several times, revealed his power of Timestone. 

The black crack on Jin Natra’s face spread. 

White light flowed out from between the black cracks.

The white light and shadow met and turned into a huge shadow. 

A giant wave of shadow engulfed them.

The three quickly retreated to the top of a spaceship and rushed towards Jin Natra again. 

This time, Shadowman’s attack hit him.

Kwaang!!

Jin Natra with the power of Timestone was no match for them. 

The vibration of the wormhole grew bigger and bigger, and they became anxious at their ineffective attacks.

Once more here.

Shadowman’s shadow played an active role. While the three drew Jin Natra’s attention, Shadowman’s shadow hooked Jin Natra’s ankle and threw him away.

Kwaang!!

Jin Natra was buried in a building beyond Central Park, and shadows spewed out from him. 

It was more terrifying than the shadow that had appeared in Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Jin Natra slowly got up as he regained his senses, but the swaying shadow showed no sign of being absorbed.

Tul Natra bit his lip.

In the end, Jin Natra’s body couldn’t handle the energy of the Timestone.

The energy of the Timestone, which was trying to tear apart Jin Natra’s body and spread out, was held back by Jin Natra’s shadow. 

Jin Natra’s shadow wrapped around his body like a bandage.

Even in that state, Jin Natra ran towards the three. 

His power was too strong for them to handle, but fortunately or unfortunately, their attacks were working little by little.

Jin Natra was already having a hard time controlling the power of the Timestone that was raging inside him. He was moving in pain as his body was falling apart.

“Uaaaaa!!!”

Jin Natra’s scream of pain pierced the ears of his sister Bell Natra, his father Tul Natra, and the hero Shadowman.

Bell Natra’s spear pierced Jin Natra’s right shoulder-

Shadowman’s shadow pierced Jin Natra’s right thigh-

And Tul Natra’s sword pierced Jin Natra’s left chest-

They penetrated.

Bell Natra’s hand holding the spear trembled. 

Bell Natra couldn’t bear to look at Jin Natra in front of him. 

His clenched jaw shivered. 

Tears blurred his vision.

Tul Natra, who had helped his attack by plunging into his son’s arms and aiming for his heart, was crying with his face ruined by tears.

As Jin Natra’s breathing slowed down, the wormholes that filled the sky began to shrink. 

The wormhole generator that had been making a loud noise stopped moving. 

It was because the energy source had disappeared.

The wormholes that had filled the sky disappeared, and the weapons of the three that had pierced Jin Natra turned back into shadows.

As the weapons that supported him disappeared, Jin Natra’s body fell to Shadowman and Tul Natra.

“William!”

“Bring the healing capsule!”

“Jin! Wake up! Don’t lose consciousness!”

Shadowman, who had been holding Jin Natra as he fell, carefully laid him down on the floor. 

While Tul Natra gave orders to the Natrains, Bell Natra quickly performed first aid.

Jin Natra, who had been looking at them with a blank stare, slowly closed his eyes.

He had a peaceful face, as if he was asleep, as if he was in his mother’s arms.

***

The healer looked at Jin Natra, who was breathing faintly in the healing capsule, and said.

“We need to extract the Timestone that was absorbed by Lord Jin.”

“How?”

The audience, who could barely see Jin Natra’s face in detail in the calm scene rather than the action-packed one, clenched their mouths at Jin Natra’s face, which was cracked like a porcelain doll.

“We need His Majesty’s shadow. It must have been His Majesty’s shadow and the shadow that was forcibly inherited that prevented the collapse of his body so far.”

“What do you mean?”

“The bodies of Earthlings absorb shadows infinitely. The bodies of Natrains can only absorb a certain amount. Lord Jin’s body was trying to absorb the ‘power’ of the Timestone, but His Majesty’s shadow blocked it.”

The treatment room was silent.

“…If you give Lord Jin more of His Majesty’s shadow, his body will become similar to that of a Natrain, and then the remaining ‘powers’ that he can’t absorb will come out.”

We can collect them and take them to the underground shrine, and then Natra will return to normal.

“Then William won’t be able to live as an Earthling anymore?”

The healer shook his head at Shadowman’s question.

“Then we can use the Red Timestone to turn back time. The Timestone works for Natrains too. But there are two problems.”

“Problems?”

The healer couldn’t look at Tul Natra with a blank expression.

“The first is… The shadow that was absorbed by Lord Jin will disappear if we turn back time.”

“I don’t care.”

Tul Natra answered without hesitation at the healer’s words that he would lose most of his shadow. 

He was willing to give up his own life to save his son.

“What’s the second?”

“He may have lost his memory due to the shock… He may not be fully conscious.”

The three’s expressions clouded at that. Shadowman looked at Jin Natra lying in the capsule. 

He might lose his memory. Shadowman remembered Jin Natra smiling brightly.

‘But it wouldn’t be a good memory for William.’

There were times when it was better to forget. 

Tul Natra and Bell Natra thought the same.

They didn’t know if this was the right time.

The three who didn’t say anything for a while opened their mouths.

“Then I’ll prepare a one-year Red Timestone as soon as possible.”

“No.”

Tul Natra looked at Bell Natra.

Bell Natra nodded at her father’s gaze and handed something over with moist eyes, but with a gentle smile.

“Ten years. This is the biggest Red Timestone I could get.”

The red gemstone, which looked like a heart in a box, sparkled in the light.

The screen that had been shining on the Red Timestone slowly darkened.

The audience waited for the next story without breathing. 

If it ended here, they would storm into Marinsa. 

Their eyes shone fiercely as they stared at the black screen. 

After a moment of silence that felt long, a sound came from the speaker.

Thud thud.

Someone’s footsteps were heard. 

The camera slowly moved back. 

What they thought was a black background was Shadowman, Mac’s back.

Music was heard.

It was a soft and calm piano sound.

Shadowman, who only showed his back, was holding something precious and walking. 

With every step he took, two small feet and sneakers dangled from his arms.

Ah ah.

Imiyeon and Park Seong-ah, and the audience clenched their mouths.

Shadowman carefully placed the child next to the front door of a house.

It was the house of a couple who had not even thought of moving, hoping that their lost child would return.

Sniffle.

A sobbing sound came from somewhere. Imiyeon’s eyes also reddened as if she was in sync with it. But she never took her eyes off the screen. 

She didn’t want to miss a single moment even with her blurred vision.

Shadowman placed a teddy bear next to the child after laying him down. 

‘William’ was an old teddy bear that Jin Natra had cherished, but it showed clearly that time had passed differently on Earth.

Tul Natra wished for the child to grow up bright and cheerful and gave him sneakers as a gift.

Bell Natra wished for the child to live warmly and gave him a sweater as a gift.

Shadowman wished for the child to make new memories,

“I hope you get along well with this friend too.”

He gave him a new teddy bear as a gift.

He placed a clean teddy bear next to the child and got up from his seat. 

He looked at the child’s peaceful face and opened his mouth.

“…I’m sorry I’m late.”

Shadowman pressed the doorbell and left.

Ding dong.

-Yes. I’m coming.

The camera followed Shadowman’s back. The sound of the door opening was heard.

Bell Natra and Tul Natra, who were standing around Mac’s car and waiting anxiously, stared at Shadowman’s back.

Their eyes were full of sadness, joy, longing. And the hope that the child would be happy.

-…William! Baby!

Shadowman, Mac turned around.

The camera also showed there.

A long time ago, a child who had lost his parents snuggled into his mother’s warm arms.

Warm sunlight settled down.

***

The child opened his eyes groggily. Someone appeared in the child’s sleepy vision. 

There were three people, and one of them spoke.

“Jin? Jin. Are you awake?”

“No…”

It was a young voice full of sleepiness. 

The people in his blurry vision stopped moving. 

The child smiled innocently and said.

“William is William…”

“That’s right… William.”

At the reliable man’s voice and gentle touch, William fell asleep again. A faint voice brushed his ears. It was a voice that sounded like crying.

“…I’ll take you to your mom and dad this time.”
