I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 210

I am not a returner Episode 210:

Snake’s Head (3)

“Ugh….”

The head was throbbing as if it would break.

Ojin slowly opened his eyes, covering his throbbing head.

‘This place.’

The sky covered with dark clouds.

Sharp rocks that looked like a giant’s sword stuck upside down were rising high, and between them were strange plants that I had never seen before.

Between the dark clouds that covered the sky, seven black stars were shining with an ominous light.

Originally, even if a black star was floating in a sky covered with dark clouds, it would have been indistinguishable, like black ink dropped on black paper.

For some reason, the seven black stars twinkling with an ominous light were clearly visible even in a sky covered with dark clouds.

A bizarre landscape that cannot be seen on Earth.

It didn’t take long for Ojin to realize where he had opened his eyes.

“…Makyung.”

A very large gate with a diameter of 50 km opened at the North Pole.

A world of monsters known to be accessible only through the ‘First Crack’.

I have now been sucked into that unknown world.

It’s ridiculously simple, too.

“under.”

Ohjin laughed and touched his forehead.

‘Maybe I was too careless.’

In fact, it would be difficult to say that I had let my guard down.

I summoned Vega directly and checked whether the crack was safe or not before touching it.

And although I have entered and exited the gate hundreds of times, this was the first time I had encountered a gate that expanded to tens of meters in size and engulfed the surrounding area as soon as I put my finger on it.

[My… child?]

Vega, who had collapsed near Ojin, got up.

As if she felt dizzy, she touched her forehead with her small hand, looked around at the scene, and flew up into the air.

[W Isn’t this inside the Demonic Palace?!]

“I think so.”

[What on earth is this…]

Vega recalled the events that had just happened with an expression of incomprehension.

The memory of being swallowed by a black crack as soon as Ojin’s hand touched it, like a snake swallowing its prey.

Vega’s face turned pale.

[It was her fault.]

It was Vega herself who said that the crack was safe.

“no. “You can’t say this is anyone’s fault.”

Who would have expected something like that to suddenly happen just because our fingertips touched it?

[Obviously, the state of the crack was extremely stable… but I can’t understand why this happened.]

Vega frowned as if she couldn’t understand.

She may not know, but Oh Jin had one thing in mind.

‘It was a reaction to the black sky.’

The moment my hand touches the black crack.

Although it was subtle, Heukcheon responded.

The black crack began to expand rapidly as if resonating with it.

in other words.

In the first place, the crack was a trap created to suck Ojin into the demon world.

There was no need to think about whose work it was.

Because he left his mark in front of the crack.

What matters is not who did it.

‘How…did you know I had the Black Heaven?’

How could Queen Serpens know that she could not even recognize the constellation of the North Star?

Oh Jin bit his lip and clenched his fist.

‘Later.’

Now I had to find a way to escape from here as quickly as possible.

“Ah… it’s a goal. “What’s going on?”

“Are you hurt anywhere, Oh Jin?”

Is it because the body was tied with wire before being sucked into the crack?

Fortunately, Ha-eun and Isabella, who had collapsed not far away, walked towards Oh-jin.

“I’m fine. “What about your sister and Isabella?”

“Not really, other than the fact that my head feels like it’s going to fall off.”

“I’m fine too.”

A sigh of relief flowed from Ojin’s mouth at the sight of the two women who looked fine.

‘by the way.’

Ojin’s eyes narrowed.

“By any chance… didn’t you hear your voice when you were sucked in here?”

“Eh? “What voice?”

“no. “I didn’t hear it.”

Two women shaking their heads.

“Why are you whispering, ‘I was waiting’? “Did no one really hear it?”

“Didn’t you hear something like an auditory hallucination?”

Ha-eun tilted her head.

It seems that neither woman could hear their voices.

I turned my head towards Vega, but the answer was the same.

[Even the original woman didn’t hear it.]

“…Really?”

then.

Who was the owner of that voice?

“Isn’t it the voice of the Serpent Queen? “I think it was probably her fault that created this rift.”

“…no.”

Oh Jin shook his head quietly.

At first, I thought it might have been the Queen of Serpent’s voice.

“It was a man’s voice.”

I couldn’t remember exactly what the voice was.

What is certain is that it was a man’s voice, not a woman’s.

“Is it possible that the Queen of Serpens is at stake?”

What are you talking about, you sister?

“why not. You know that. What did they call it… Oh, that’s right! Futana….”

“Noisy.”

I placed my finger on Ha-eun’s chattering lips.

“Ugh!”

Ha-eun, who was frowning as if wondering what she was doing, stuck out her tongue and licked her finger.

I felt a quivering sensation.

Ojin frowned and withdrew his hand.

“What are you doing so rudely?”

“So who wants to touch other people’s lips arbitrarily?”

Ha-eun, snoring, lifted her head and looked up at the sky.

“Why on earth is the sky so dull?”

Tsk. I clicked my tongue and took out a cigar from my pocket.

Chii Iik.

The end of the year was burning brightly, and fireflies were floating around like fireflies.

The dark surroundings became as bright as day.

“Thank you, sister.”

“But where have all the installments and Cheonhye guild members gone?”

“well. “Let’s take a look around here first.”

Ojin walked ahead and passed between tall rocks.

“Wow Ojina. “Look at that.”

Ha-eun tugged on the collar of Oh-jin, who was walking ahead, and pointed to one side.

I saw a tree growing through a narrow gap between rocks.

At the tip of the tree were light green fruits with a dreamy glow.

The translucent fruit was so beautiful that it looked as if it were made of jewels.

“That fruit… it’s very pretty. right?”

Ha-eun’s eyes, which were looking at the fruit, became hazy.

As if possessed by something, Ha-eun walked towards the light green fruit.

Isabella urgently grabbed Ha-eun’s shoulder.

“Calm down, sister.”

“uh…? why?”

“That fruit smells like blood.”

He narrowed his eyes and threw a piece of stone towards the fruit-bearing tree.

The moment when the fruit shakes lightly after being hit by a piece of stone.

Quad deud deud deuk!!

At that moment, the tree roots sprouted from the ground, opened wide like the maw of a wild beast, and swallowed up the stone fragments.

“What is that?!”

Ha-eun’s dreamy eyes returned to their original state.

She frowned in displeasure as she looked at the tree roots crunching and breaking the stone pieces, and threw the tobacco she was holding in her hand towards the tree.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The fierce fire burned the tree.

“Wow… if I was alone, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

For a moment, Ha-eun must have remembered that she had unconsciously reached for the fruit, and her shoulders shook as if she was horrified.

Thanks to the body of a high-ranking awakened person that boasts superhuman hardness, he may not have died, but it seemed like he would have suffered serious injuries.

“…This place isn’t called the Demon Lord for nothing.”

Ojin activated the stigmata of the constellation Canis and was alert to the surroundings.

When moving forward so cautiously.

“Whoa! “There you are!”

Cheon Sang-gil appeared, breathing heavily.

The hanbok he was wearing was full of red blood stains, as he must have had several fierce battles with the demonic beast.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“We didn’t have any trouble. “What about the installment plan?”

“ha. On the way to find you, a group of demonic beasts attacked… Fortunately, we were able to defeat them without difficulty.”

Cheon Sang-gil let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth in a dark voice.

“I’m sorry. “I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”

“it’s okay. “No one here could have predicted something like this would happen.”

Oh Jin took out a canteen from his waist and held it out to Cheon Sang-gil.

“Thank you.”

“Can I ask you a few questions, sir?”

“Of course.”

Cheon Sang-gil took a sip of the refreshing water and nodded.

“How far away was this place when you first opened your eyes?”

“Well… it was quite a distance away.”

“You don’t know specifically how far away it was?”

“Maybe 5 kilos? No, it was about 10 kilometers away.”

surely.

At the same time, it was quite a distance away from being sucked into the crack.

“So, as soon as you opened your eyes, you immediately moved to look for me?”

“That’s right.”

“Approximately how many minutes did it take?”

“Hmm. One… one hour? “It seems like you’ve been looking for that much.”

“You woke up at about the same time as us.”

It was about an hour ago that Ojin opened his eyes.

“Didn’t you say you encountered a group of demonic beasts on your way there?”

“That’s right.”

“What kind of guys were they? Things like appearance… or size.”

“Hmm. Please wait a moment. “It’s so dark and hectic that I can’t really think about it.”

Cheon Sang-gil took another sip of water and continued speaking.

“It was a leopard about 3 meters long. Even though it was a leopard, only the head was that of a leopard, but the body was that of a human.”

“Like a werewolf?”

“That’s right.”

“How many were there?”

“I think there were over a hundred. “It was a monster that could have been a 7-star level.”

So you killed a group of a hundred 7-star monsters in that short period of time?

Ohjin sighed and nodded.

“You are truly greedy.”

“Cluck. “Isn’t that all this old man has to boast about?”

Cheon Sang-gil lightly laughed and handed the canteen he was drinking to Oh Jin.

He must have been a little tired from fighting a group of monsters, so he drank quite a lot of water, but there was still a lot of water left in the canteen, which had expanded its internal space using magic using holy meteorites.

“Then can I ask you one last question?”

“Ask as much as you want.”

“So far… ah.”

Oh Jin, who was taking the canteen while asking a question, forgot to take it.

The water in the canteen poured out and wet Cheon Sang-gil’s hanbok.

“Oh my.”

“I’m sorry, old man.”

“Cluck. It’s okay. Rather, it’s good that I was able to wash away the blood of the demonic beasts.”

Cheon Sang-gil smiled kindly, as if telling him not to worry, and picked up the canteen that had fallen on the floor and gave it to Oh Jin.

“Okay, so what’s the last thing you want to ask?”

“Oh, it’s nothing special.”

Ohjin asked, hanging the canteen on his waist.

“Can you answer the questions I asked so far in reverse?”

Silence fell.

“…What does that mean?”

Cheon Sang-gil looked at Oh Jin with an expression that asked what he was talking about.

Oh Jin glared at Cheon Sang-gil with cold eyes.

“Can you answer the other way around?”

“So…um.”

Cheon Sang-gil is rolling his eyes and rolling his eyes in a cold sweat.

He trembled nervously, avoiding Ojin’s gaze.

“Why are you doing that?”

Oh Jin grabbed Cheon Sang-gil’s shoulder.

The water-soaked hanbok dampened my palms.

“Answer me?”
