wrapped them around its wrist to secure it, and tried to throw its body towards the one sitting on the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[!!!!!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the blink of an eye, the one on the throne had plunged its hand into the Green ghost being’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, that being pulled something out of the Green ghost being’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The heart?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a beating heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How often does one get to see their own heart while alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beyond that, how would it feel to witness one’s own heart being crushed by someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream

hanging down limply, and a shocked expression on its face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Was it… a woman?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When wearing a crown and exuding a sharp and overwhelming aura, it was indistinguishable, but looking at its current appearance, it definitely appeared to be a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why was the Green ghost being reacting like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was puzzled, Mok Gyeong-un could see a red thread-like thing coming out of his body, connected to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What is this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thread was also connected to the Demonic Monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it be?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a rough
