one hundred nineteen

Jisung didn't waste another second and grabbed the pair of scissors which was on the desk right beside his bed. He found it strange.

There was no way that those scissors could've been placed there coincidentally. Hospitals are known to be well organized.

So, seeing a pair of scissors just lying around on the desk was weird. It was as if it were placed there on purpose.

But he shoved his thoughts away. The damn cast had to go. His hand was trembling in nervousness. He cut the cast open, shaking it off.

Instantly, his eyes were drawn to a bunch of weird shining symbols which snaked around in almost his entire arm.

To him, they looked like ritual symbols of some sort. He didn't really know. But one thing was for sure though.

Out of all the strange marks on his arm, one was familiar. Focusing over at his wrist, he saw that same eye symbol which he had seen with Minho in the abandoned orphanage.

A memory instantly struck him when he saw it. That symbol was an indication that he had fallen right into a trap. A spell.

Now that he was aware of what he had gotten himself into, all he needed to do now was break free from this illusion.

Based on what he remembered, the only way to break free from the spell was to defeat the creator of the illusion itself. Changbin.

Jumping out of bed, he left the hospital room and what awaited him outside wasn't quite what he had expected.

The hallway had turned into an eerie looking tunnel that led only to pitch darkness. Its walls were red—covered in blood.

Thankfully, there were lights on the ceiling. The only problem though was that they kept flickering, creating a more terrifying atmosphere.

Jisung braced himself for whatever challenge he would face. He knew that this would be the only way for him to wake up from this illusion.

As he crept further along the hallway, a terrifying screeching reached his ears, followed by howls and growls. The scene he laid eyes on caused a bile to rise in his throat.

A large group of low-class fire demons were trailing right behind him from a distance. They were like a hungry pack of wolves, coming in all shapes and sizes.

Some reminded Jisung of hyenas, others looked more like dogs or even reptiles. They shared one similarity—their bodies were on fire, burning brightly in blue and orange flames.

Jisung muttered a low curse under his breath and pondered. How the hell was he supposed to fight them off with light magic?

Well, he had no more other option though as the pack of demons started racing towards him.

Whenever his magic collided with a demon, the sheer force of the impact hurled it back. That way, he was able to prevent some of his enemies from getting close to him.

But he wasn't able to stop all of them though. Several monsters slipped past him, striking him with flames.

He failed to avoid the attack as it was all too sudden. Panting in agony, he used his light magic against the demons that tried to lunge at him, turning them into ashes.

His eyes constantly fitted around the hallway. He was on high alert and ready to defend himself at any given moment.

Hot sparks exploded next to him when his magic struck a demon that had tried to sneak up on him. Its blood red eyes stared back at him.

He summoned more light in his palms, shot a powerful beam at it. The fire demon didn't survive—it dissolved, leaving only ashes behind.

The situation became too hard to handle and he knew that it would never stop until he finds Changbin. He had to act quickly.
