I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 220
I am not a returner Episode 220
Interlude – Reunion (2)
“Anyway, what were you doing that ended up in the demon world? huh? “I heard you fell into the crack that Vega said was safe?”
Deneb is constantly chattering with her mouth.
Deneb burst into laughter and snuggled next to Vega.
“The Constellation that is supposed to protect children actually puts their own child in danger… How can that happen? huh? huh? huh?”
[….]
Vega quietly closed her eyes and listened to Deneb’s words with one ear.
No, not exactly.
I was pretending to listen.
[…You have to endure it. You have to endure it.]
Vega, with thick tendons sprouting from her fair forehead, clenched her fists and muttered in a low voice.
“Hehehe! Ah, I feel refreshed inside!”
Deneb stretched out her arms.
Around the time I was glaring at Deneb and letting go of my anger.
The door to the temple, with its splendid decorations, opened and a young man and two women came inside.
“I’m here?”
Deneb looked back at sisters Allen Oscar and Xiaolin Xiaoran.
Allen, who was in the lead, nodded so softly that he could not be seen.
He looked back at Vega and Isabella with cold eyes, then turned his head towards Deneb.
“What’s happening all of a sudden?”
“I have a favor to ask of Allen.”
“ask?”
“Please come to the magic world.”
“…Makyung?”
Allen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“Are you asking me to at least meet Elder Cheon Kwon-seong?”
“no. “I’m going to save Noerang.”
“With brains?”
“A thunder rang?”
At the word thunderstorm, the eyes of sisters Xiaolin and Xiaoran flashed fiercely.
As Deneb slightly turned her head and gave a glance, Vega stepped forward.
[Nice to meet you.]
“I meet the constellation of Jiknyeo Castle.”
Allen bowed his head in a stern manner.
[My child was trapped in a demonic world due to the mother’s carelessness.]
“What does it mean to be trapped in a demonic realm…?”
Vega slowly explained what happened in the demon world.
As the explanation continued, the expressions on the faces of sisters Allen and Xiaolin hardened.
“If you couldn’t get out of that situation, you’re already dead…”
“Sister, be quiet.”
Xiaolin urgently covered Syaoran’s mouth.
“okay. “I understand the situation.”
Allen let out a short sigh and turned his head towards Deneb.
A look filled with accusation, ‘Did you really decide to grant that request?’
Deneb trembled and then nodded hesitantly.
“…ha.”
Allen let out a deep sigh and turned to Vega.
“All right. “I will do my best to rescue Noerang.”
I didn’t have enough friendship or loyalty with Ojin to risk my life to go into the demon world and rescue him.
[Thank you.]
“It’s Deneb’s request.”
It was a request from Deneb, who was like his father and no one else.
There was no reason to refuse.
“As expected, it’s our Allen! “I believed it!”
Deneb’s eyes sparkled and she grabbed Allen’s arm.
“Oh, speaking of ministers, but… there is one thing I would like to ask of you.”
[Tell me.]
Allen looked down at Deneb, who was hanging like a cicada, and smiled slightly.
“If Deneb is in trouble like Vega is now, I hope you can help me then.”
“oh! “What are you saying all of a sudden?”
There’s no way I’m in trouble!
Allen lightly pats Deneb’s head as she screams.
Vega looked at the two and smiled kindly.
[Of course.]
“Then we’ll leave right away.”
When Allen tried to turn around, adjusting the sword on his waist.
“Oh wait a minute.”
Deneb, who was pulling Allen’s arm and shouting loudly, suddenly hardened his expression.
The frivolous atmosphere, as if he had been acting recklessly for some time, disappeared in an instant, and a sharp sense of murder came over him.
“…Tsk.”
The destination of his life is Isabella, who was quietly hiding behind Vega.
Deneb glared at Isabella with narrowed eyes.
“What are you?”
Damn it!
With one light gesture, a pillar of ice erupted from the floor of the temple and became a crowded prison, imprisoning Isabella.
“….”
Isabella looked at the ice pillar that trapped her with a stiff expression.
[Stop.]
Vega stopped Deneb from approaching Isabella.
[The identity of this child will be guaranteed by the original woman.]
“…Are you out of your mind, Vega? “You’re an apostle of the Black Star, right?”
[The original woman knows.]
“Hmm.”
Deneb nodded slightly and snapped her fingers.
The ice pillar that had risen around Isabella collapsed.
“Well, Vega, if you say that, I’ll believe it.”
Jiknyeoseong went so far as to personally guarantee her status, so there is no need to argue.
[Thank you.]
“Oh! “Didn’t I tell you not to treat me like a child?!”
When Vega tries to pat her head, Deneb trembles and runs away as if inciting a fight.
Ha-eun laughed and touched her forehead.
“It seems like the images of the constellations I had in mind are all shattered.”
“We all don’t have time to be like this. “If we don’t go as soon as possible…”
Isabella chewed her nails with an anxious expression.
“I told you not to worry?”
Ha-eun grinned and pulled Isabella, who was biting her nails, by her shoulder.
He lightly patted her back as she trembled with anxiety and continued speaking.
“Ojini is not the type of person who will die that easily.”
“…Oh, I know.”
Isabella, who was biting her nails nervously, suddenly came to her senses and hid her red cheeks.
I felt Ha-eun’s hand trembling as it touched my back.
“…I’m scared too.”
“yes?”
“no. it’s nothing.”
Isabella, with a brighter expression, walked away from Ha-eun with a faint smile.
She looked back at Allen and Sister Xiao and said.
“Is it okay if we leave right away?”
“yes.”
“But how do we get to the North Pole? “There is no sanctuary near there.”
Syaoran asked, tilting his head.
“I have prepared a private plane for the Colgrande family. First, you can go to the sanctuary in London and fly.”
“good! “Then, let’s hurry up and come back, dragging our hair!”
Ha-eun shouted in a strong voice and turned around.
Vega approached Ha-eun as she was about to leave the temple.
[I will take care of my child.]
“Yes.”
Haeun looked back at Vega and grinned.
“I will definitely bring it.”
* * *
The first crack.
A very large gate with a diameter of 50 km located at the North Pole.
“This is… the first crack.”
Isabella gulped as she looked at the wide black cracks along the Arctic ice.
Although it was still quite far away from the crack, it was so wide that even when I turned my head, I couldn’t see the end.
Isabella took steps with an impatient expression.
“Wait a moment.”
Ha-eun pulled Isabella’s arm and looked around.
Around the crack that was directly connected to the Demonic Realm, high-level monsters that were not commonly seen on Earth were wandering around casually.
“…Is this really a place where there are fewer monsters roaming around?
“yes.”
Allen nodded.
“When I went to Magyeong before, I also took this route.”
“Have you ever been to the magic world?”
Ha-eun looked at Allen with a surprised expression.
Allen nodded silently.
He slowly pulled out his sword from his waist and continued speaking.
“The important thing is speed. “The moment it is delayed, a whole group of demonic beasts will hear the commotion and rush in.”
“Aren’t you going to follow me into the demonic area?”
“yes. “It’s safe once you go inside.”
“…is it like a gatekeeper?”
“You can think of it as similar.”
Anyway, a light of relief flashed in Ha-eun and Isabella’s eyes when they heard that there was someone who had been to the magic world.
“Well, if this member can’t even enter the demon realm, there’s a problem.”
Isabella, the third-ranking executive officer of the Black Star, Allen, a member of the Seven Stars, and Ha-eun, a high-ranking awakened person in the constellation of Dragon, who is comparable to the 12 signs of the zodiac, including the Xiao sisters, who occupy the fourth and fifth positions among the 12 apostles of Deneb.
If these people had not gathered together and could not even enter the Demon World, the existence of the Demon World would never have been known to the world in the first place.
“I will take the lead.”
Allen stepped forward, pulling out his sword.
He lightly kicked his foot as he looked at the group of demonic beasts wandering around the black crack with sharp eyes.
Kwajajajajajajag!
A new type that disappears as if melting into thin air.
Following the lightly swung sword strike, pure white frost spread widely, and the group of demonic beasts froze in an instant without even screaming.
“Wow…”
A low exclamation came from Ha-eun’s mouth.
“how is it? how is it? “Our Allen brother is awesome, right?”
Syaoran looked at the back of Allen, who was in the lead, and shook his head.
Xiaolin frowned and glared at Syaoran.
“There are other people too, so please stay disciplined.”
“Oh my god, what’s going on? “Usually, whenever you see Mr. Allen’s face, you squeal and make a fuss?”
“Oh sister!”
Xiaolin shouted with a red face.
“quiet.”
The two women trembled at the words Allen spoke softly and then closed their mouths.
“We will enter slowly.”
“Didn’t you say earlier that speed is important?”
“First of all, I will get as close to the first crack as possible and run without being detected.”
Allen left behind the monster that had become an ice statue and walked towards the first crack.
The remaining distance to the first crack is approximately 10 km.
Even for those with bodies that far surpassed those of humans, it was a difficult distance to cover in one go.
As we slowly, holding our breath, silently dealt with the group of monsters, approached the first crack.
“…what?”
Allen, whose expression barely changed, frowned and looked around.
“This is…”
Isabella, who was following behind, must have sensed some suspicious signs and frowned.
Ha-eun asked, looking around her head.
“what? “What is it?”
“The movements of the demonic beasts are strange.”
Allen looked back at the group of demon beasts he had turned into ice statues.
I’m sure they would have dealt with it quickly, without even having time to scream.
“Nearby demonic beasts have begun to flock here.”
“what? Why all of a sudden?”
“I do not know.”
At the sight of demonic beasts coming from all directions, Allen strengthened his grip on the sword.
I didn’t know how the demonic beasts noticed and were flocking towards this route.
“We will attack head on first!”
Since I had already been caught, there was no other way.
“Hmph!”
Quang!
Allen stamped his feet roughly and sprinted forward.
Kwajajajajajajag!
A cold energy that could not even be compared to the cold of the North Pole tore through the body of the incoming demon beast.
“Kirrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Kruk? “Crrrrrrrrrrr?”
The demonic beasts crowding around began to scream at Allen’s appearance.
The eyes of the scurrying demon beasts were a mixture of confusion and astonishment.
‘You weren’t caught?’
Allen frowned with an expression of incomprehension.
If only I hadn’t been caught.
What is the reason why the demonic beasts suddenly gathered here?
‘There’s something else.’
Now that I think about it, I had briefly heard about it from Cheon Kwon-seong when I went to the Demon Palace before.
It is said that the demonic beasts guarding the area around the demonic realm are beings who were exiled because they do not belong to the ‘King’s’ power.
and.
Most of the exiled demon beasts are said to have been seduced by the ‘snake’ and follow her like a king.
“…no way.”
Allen’s expression hardened.
Demonic beasts gather like clouds over the snowy field.
No matter how many intruders appeared, the demonic beasts guarding the rift over an enormous range of 50 km would never gather in one place like this.
Just one thing.
Except when their master, the ‘Snake’, came to Earth himself.
“The snake…is coming over here now?”
Allen looked at the group of demonic beasts filling the vast snow field with trembling eyes.
