I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 241

I am not a returner Episode 241

Baptism of stars (3)

Polaris, the constellation of Ursa Minor.

The first and highest constellation.

The brightest star.

“Polaris… is where it was born?”

Ojin looked at Vega with surprised eyes.

Vega nodded slightly and continued speaking.

[It is now Polaris’ sanctuary.]

“Wait a minute, but didn’t you say that Polaris is now in seclusion?”

[But the aftereffects of that power still remain.]

So, does that mean that he is maintaining the place where the three dragon veins intersect as his sanctuary with only the ‘aftermath’ of the power?

[Hehe. Are you nervous?]

“Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t.”

Ojin swallowed dry saliva and walked one step towards the crack.

‘I’ll have to see it for myself first.’

If you see with your own eyes what kind of place the Milky Way Fountain is, any doubts will be answered.

One step like that.

Ojin stepped into a crack where brilliant light shimmered like the Milky Way had spread out.

“Ugh!”

Throbbing headache.

My heart was pounding like crazy, as if I had run hundreds of meters at full speed.

‘what…?’

Ojin frowned and placed his hand on his heart, which was beating like crazy.

It feels like a beast trapped in a cage is running wild.

When I raised my head, suppressing the pain that felt like my chest was going to explode.

“ah.”

The Milky Way was flowing before my eyes.

A place where stars intersect.

A river of stars sparkling ever brighter, illuminating the darkness of the abyss-like universe.

[Isn’t it beautiful?]

Ojin nodded without realizing it at Vega’s words.

The sight of the Milky Way fountain was so beautiful that even the pain in my chest that felt like it was about to burst was momentarily lost.

‘The size of the spring… is about a hundred meters.’

It’s a bit big to be called a spring, but too small to be called a lake.

But right now, the size of the spring didn’t matter.

“…crazy.”

Ojin swallowed his saliva as he felt the distant magic of stigmata coming from the spring.

I was completely mistaken.

‘I heard that it is a place where three dragon veins intersect, so I thought there was about three times as much magic flowing as the dungeon I went to last time.’

It wasn’t.

In the first place, the type of dragon vein flowing here was completely different from any dragon vein I had ever seen.

If we assume that the dragon vein we absorbed last time was a stream flowing in a small rural village, should we say that this is a river that penetrated the continent and created civilization?

This is a place where not one but three such dragon veins intersect.

‘I can’t absorb this.’

Ohjin chewed his lips with nervous eyes.

Absorbing all of that was nonsense.

The moment you use the Black Heaven, your body will swell and explode like a balloon that has been inflated beyond its limit.

[Hmm? Is there a problem?]

Vega tilted his head as he looked at Ojin, who was standing blankly.

Oh Jin suddenly came to his senses and made a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

“No, it was just so beautiful that I was mesmerized for a moment.”

[Hehe. It is definitely a beautiful place.]

Vega looked at the Milky Way fountain with a faint smile.

“Let’s leave the appreciation later and start preparing for the ceremony.”

[There’s no need to be in such a hurry.]

“Heng! “I’m busy like no one else, right?”

Deneb grumbled and approached Ojin.

“Now then, take off your clothes first.”

“…yes?”

You suddenly take off your clothes out of nowhere?

“You’re going to take a dip in the spring, right? “Wearing clothes will interfere with the absorption of magical power.”

“….”

No matter how much it is, you can’t believe you took off your clothes in front of all the constellations like this.

Oh Jin looked around with a puzzled expression.

[Don’t worry, my child.]

Vega approached Ojin and spread his arms.

A silver curtain surrounded her and Ojin.

[ruler! Now no one can see your jade body!]

Hmm!

Vega proudly shouts while blowing his nose.

‘No, Vega you are watching.’

Ojin looked at Vega with an expression of bewilderment.

Vega, perhaps aware of Ohjin’s feelings, walked towards Ohjin with sparkling eyes.

[I will help you take off your clothes.]

“No, I am not a child.”

[Uh huh! Stay still.]

Vega put on a stern expression and began to take off the clothes Ojin was wearing.

Her expression was solemn, but her hands as she took off her clothes were filled with excitement that could not be hidden.

Oh Jin took off his top and bottom in an instant.

Vega swallowed hard and reached for Ojin’s underwear.

“Now wait a minute!”

[To enter the fountain of the Milky Way, you must not wear even a single thread!]

Vega, with hot eyes, turned to the last piece of cloth draped over Ojin’s body.

“huh? “I don’t care about your underwear… Ouch!”

Squeeze!

The sound of lightning bolts and Spica’s screams were heard.

“Vega just…”

[Spica seemed to have had a momentary misunderstanding.]

Vega pretended not to care and took off her underwear, which could be considered her last resort.

[ruler! Fall into your true maiden’s arms! I will transport you safely to the fountain of the Milky Way!]

“Oh!”

Vega hugs Ojin and lifts him up with an expression full of excitement.

Ojin, who was not even wearing a single coat of clothing, was held in Vega’s arms, not daring to resist the enormous force pressing on his body.

Even though it was difficult to lift a finger, I felt an incredibly soft touch.

[Now, you feel like a general.]

Vega, who was hugging Ojin, gently blushed.

“…How did Vega end up like that?”

Deneb, who was watching the scene, laughed with an expression of bewilderment.

The other constellations also shook their heads with bewildered expressions.

“Then let’s get started.”

Deneb, who was holding her forehead as if she had a headache, walked to the outside of the Milky Way Fountain.

Spreading out a certain distance, six constellations surrounded the fountain of the Milky Way.

[The baptism will begin.]

Vega, who had been raising the corners of her mouth while hugging Ojin just a moment ago, opened her mouth with a solemn expression, as if asking for the first time.

A silver ray of light flowed from her body and seeped into the fountain of the Milky Way.

The same goes for the other five constellations.

With my eyes closed, I poured the magic power of the stigmata into the fountain of the Milky Way.

[Because there were six stars in front of the fountain of the Milky Way.]

A low congratulatory note flowed from Vega’s mouth.

[Come, seventh star.]

While a clear voice rings out.

Ojin was immersed in the fountain of the Milky Way and quietly closed his eyes.

The endless magic of the stars that can be felt through the skin.

Ojin gently bit his lip as the amount of magical power far exceeded his imagination.

‘I didn’t intend to absorb all of Sam’s magic from the beginning.’

In the first place, it was impossible to absorb all of Sam’s magic power while the constellations were standing tens of meters in front of him.

From the time I first heard about the Milky Way Fountain, I had planned to absorb just a portion of it so that it wouldn’t be noticeable.

‘I think this too will be difficult.’

A level of magic that was too difficult to imagine was gathered here.

If you use the Black Heaven incorrectly, the magic power will rush in like a dam has collapsed.

‘It’s not something I can control.’

A deep sigh flowed from Ojin’s mouth.

It is true that the magic power filled within the Milky Way’s fountain is coveted.

‘Let’s give up.’

If I got greedy here, I could have lost everything in an instant.

‘Anyway, you can absorb a certain amount of magic power without having to use black cloth.’

Ohjin slowly opened his closed eyes.

I could see the spring water shining with a pale blue light.

‘Is the intensity of light… about that of a torch?’

I felt disappointed, but when I think about it, Allen Oscar, also an apostle of the North Star, said it was this bright, so there was no need to be disappointed.

When I was soothing myself by saying that I would be satisfied at this point.

Grumbling.

A familiar sound echoing in my head.

It was the sound heard when the dark clouds of the black sky moved.

“…!”

Ojin let out a silent cry and opened his eyes wide.

Black Heaven, curled up inside the heart without any control, melted into the spring water of the Milky Way and began to absorb magical power.

“Ugh!”

Ojin groaned as the magic power surged in like a tidal wave.

‘what? ‘What happened?’

Heukcheon began devouring the Milky Way’s spring water like a hungry beast.

-Tiring!

[You have absorbed an unimaginably large amount of magic power!]

[All conditions for the eighth flowering of ‘Black Heaven’ have been achieved!]

[The eighth flowering of ‘Black Heaven’ has begun!]

A blue message appeared before my eyes.

Ojin desperately held on to the strings of consciousness that were about to be swept away by the surging tsunami of magical power.

The clear sound of bells rang in my ears and the message window continued.

[Heukcheon has reached ‘Eight Star Enlightenment’!]

[‘Transmission’ is postponed to control the absorbed magic power.]

“Heo-eok, heo-eok!”

With the message that Heukcheon had reached the eight-star flowering, the magic that surged like a tidal wave stopped.

Cold sweat running down Ojin’s forehead.

He raised his head with eyes full of tension.

[What the hell is this?]

“This is ridiculous….”

There, I saw the constellations looking in this direction with expressions full of astonishment.

‘It’s done.’

Could it be that he was caught using black cloth?

Ojin checked the magical power felt from the fountain of the Milky Way.

‘Sam’s magical power has barely decreased.’

Because the magic power was so enormous to begin with, it was not even noticeable even though the magic power was consumed by the Black Sky.

‘Because of the darkness, the energy of the dark sky itself would not have leaked out.’

Then why?

Are the constellations looking at themselves with such shocked expressions?

“The light of the rain….”

“This is my first time seeing a scene like this.”

light?

Oh Jin tilted his head and lowered his head.

“ah.”

There, I saw Sam shining brightly like the sun.

A low exclamation flowed from Ojin’s mouth.

‘They said the intensity of light varies depending on the amount of magic absorbed.’

Unlike other awakened people who accepted the magical energy flowing indirectly, he absorbed Sam’s magical energy directly through the black sky, which is why he is emitting light so absurdly bright.

“Whoa.”

When I sighed in relief at the thought that luckily, I wasn’t caught in the dark.

Oooooh!

The entire Milky Way fountain began to emit light and rippling like waves.

[This is…]

“No way?”

The constellations turned their heads with eyes filled with astonishment.

There, water from a round spring was slowly rising into the air.

‘What is that again?’

Ojin looked at the rising spring water, lumped together like an egg, with an expression of confusion at the series of strange phenomena occurring.

The spring split in half and a being appeared within it.

A being covered in brilliant starlight, as if its body were made of the Milky Way.

The starlight covering his body was so strong that he couldn’t even tell if he was a man or a woman.

[Polaris…?]

Vega opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

‘Polaris? ‘That’s Polaris?’

Ojin looked at the being made of starlight with wide eyes.

A being made of starlight slowly flew towards Ojin.

[It was you.]

A voice that resonates directly in my head like Vega.

It was a neutral voice that I couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman.

[I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.]

You were waiting for me?

Ojin looked up at Polaris with a puzzled expression.

[A star that defies providence and cause and effect, a being that will change the predetermined fate.]

Wait.

This is a somewhat familiar situation.

[You are the star of the heavens.]

“…Yes?”

Isn’t it?
