I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 243

I am not a returner

Episode 243 Baptism of Stars (5)

A beautiful fountain where starlight flows instead of water.

Ojin turned around and left the spring.

Ojin, who had been completely undressed, quickly put on his clothes and looked back at the fountain of the Milky Way where he had been holding his body just moments before.

‘Even though I absorbed it like that, it’s not noticeable.’

Even though he had absorbed the magic of the stigmata contained in the spring water both in his body and in his soul (even though it was not his doing), the Milky Way Spring was sparkling with a brilliant light just as it had when he first saw it.

What is the total amount of magical energy contained within that spring?

Even from the perspective of Ojin, who possessed power beyond the standard of the Black Heaven, the magical power contained within the fountain of the Milky Way was at a level that was difficult to handle.

‘If one day, all of the Black Heavens will bloom.’

At that time, will we be able to absorb the fountain of the Milky Way until it dries up?

‘…If you do something like that, you will soon be found out that you have the Black Heaven.’

Oh Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

I felt like I had a strange desire to win, perhaps because there was nothing I couldn’t absorb with the Black Sky until now.

When I was brushing aside my useless thoughts and combing through my wet hair.

[Now… it’s time.]

Polaris, who was staring at Ojin, slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Polaris’ body gradually became lighter and began to melt into the fountain of the Milky Way and disappear.

[May your path ahead be filled with only brilliant starlight.]

With the faintly resounding beautiful voice, Polaris’ body completely disappeared.

“….”

“….”

The eyes of the constellations were focused on Ojin.

The constellations who saw that Ojin’s true identity was a star of reverse heaven and that he was even given the title of Pagunseong were looking at each other with expressions of not knowing what to say.

[Everyone looks confused.]

It was Vega’s calm voice that broke the awkward silence.

Vega looked around at the constellations and continued.

[First of all, I would like you to keep the events here a secret for the time being.]

“…Didn’t you reveal your identity and all?”

Deneb crossed her arms and made a sullen expression.

[Isn’t there something good about being known?]

“Well… that’s right.”

Even if it was known that it was a star of the reverse sky, it would only attract the aggro of the Black Star and had no benefit.

“Then the baptism is over, so I’ll be leaving.”

Deneb turned and trudged towards the crack leading outside.

The fact that Ojin was a star in the sky must have been quite a shock, as the boy turned around and felt complicated thoughts on his back.

“There, there. “Can I ask you something?”

Spica approached at a quick pace and nudged Ojin’s shoulder.

Oh Jin, who was drying his hair wet with spring water, nodded.

“Do you know what happens to me and my children in the future?”

[Stop it.]

“Why! “You’re curious!”

As Vega frowned and pulled on his shoulder, Spica shook her legs and shouted.

“Keukheuhum.”

“I’m sure… I’m curious.”

Regulus and Aldebaran Aris, who had not yet returned, also looked at Ojin with their eyes shining with curiosity.

It seems that constellations are also curious about what will happen to them in the future.

There was only one thing Ojin could say to the constellations whose eyes were shining.

“Everyone is eaten by the Heavenly Demon.”

I don’t even know if they are actually being eaten or not.

If the first episode went as Polaris predicted, it wasn’t difficult to imagine their future.

“Ah… I see.”

“Hmm. “Even if they are children, their bodies are being eaten by the darkness?”

The constellations who heard Ohjin’s answer frowned with shocked expressions.

Hearing that everyone was going to be eaten by the Heavenly Demon was a pretty indifferent reaction, but if you think about it, Oh Jin probably would have had a similar reaction if he had heard someone else say, ‘You will die in the future.’

“It will be different this time.”

Ojin looked back at the constellations and continued.

“I will make it different.”

“oh.”

Aris approached Ojin with a deep smile.

“I thought it was a cute puppy, but it turned out to be a trustworthy wolf?”

Aris came close and gently hugged Ojin’s arm.

Munchul.

A soft feel that passes through your arms.

At that moment, the sight of two mountain peaks made of fluffy wool rising from a vast field flashed through my head.

[Sigh!]

Vega pulled away from Aris, who was hugging Ojin’s arm, and intervened between the two.

[Aren’t you a little tired?]

“I’m not particularly tired…”

[Being baptized by stars is a very tiring task, both physically and mentally.]

Vega dragged Ojin by the arm and led him toward the crack.

Oh Jin smiled bitterly and was led outside by her hand.

Vega, who had been dragging Ojin at a fast pace for a while, looked at Ojin with serious eyes, checking to see if there were any constellations following behind him.

[Even so, Spica should never get involved with the constellation of Aries.]

“Well, I don’t really have any intention of doing it, but… why?”

Are there some disturbing rumors going around?

‘Could it be… that they are secretly communicating with the Black Star Constellations behind the scenes?’

It may not be impossible.

Even though constellations are transcendental, they are not much different from humans in emotional terms.

We conflict, reject each other, reconcile, and love each other.

The sanctuary, where hundreds of transcendental people gathered, was like a microcosm of human society.

then.

It wouldn’t be surprising at all if there were ‘traitors’ among them.

As I looked at Vega with nervous eyes, Vega shouted in an urgent voice.

[Isn’t it big?]

What do you mean by big?

[anyway! From now on, talking to the constellation of Aries is prohibited!]

Vega placed both hands on her hips and made a stern expression.

“I will follow your orders, Vega.”

Oh Jin burst out laughing and turned around.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

[Enter carefully.]

After a brief greeting with Vega, I came out of the sanctuary.

A familiar gray street scene unfolded.

“I heard Noerang is getting baptized today?”

“What name do you want to be called….”

“Isn’t it something like Cheonrangseong?”

“That’s not the Big Dipper, man.”

A cloud of onlookers and reporters gathered around the sanctuary, perhaps because the rumor had spread that Ojin would be baptized by the stars today.

‘Darkness.’

Ohjin used the darkness to hide his presence and escaped the crowd that filled the front of the sanctuary.

In order to create an image as a ‘hero’, it would have been better to do at least a light interview, but there were more important things left to do at the moment.

Taang!

Oh Jin quickly returned home using a wire shooter and opened the front door.

Ha-eun wondered where she had gone when the sight of an empty living room caught her eye.

“Whoa.”

Oh Jin, who was seated in the center of the living room, took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes.

‘They said the transmission was pushed back because of magic control.’

If so, if all the boiling magical power is calmed, the succession will begin as scheduled.

Ojin took a deep breath and looked inside.

Gurgling.

I could feel the magic power of Stigmata flowing through the magic circuit roughly like a river swollen by a flood.

Ojin guided the excessively excessive magical energy into the Black Heaven and calmed the magical energy inside.

About two hours passed like that.

-Tiring!

[With the rise in enlightenment level, some of the memories of Awakened Lee Shin-hyuk are passed down.] My vision was

distorted along with the message I was waiting for.

* * *

“haha!”

Lee Shin-hyuk was seen struggling to exhale the breath that had built up to the tip of his chin.

Googoo googung!

Rocks falling like rain with strong vibrations.

‘This place.’

It was a familiar place to Oh Jin.

‘Is this where the dragon sleeps?’

A dungeon hidden in Mt. Baekdu.

This was the place where Cheon Do-yoon visited to take the ‘Heart of the Dragon’.

“Damn the rain!”

Inside a collapsing cave.

Lee Shin-hyuk looked nervous and cursed at the crossroads.

“Shinhyuk! There is no time! “We have to go quickly and save the guild leader!”

The voice of Kim Seon-young, the deputy guild leader of the Valhalla guild, urging him from the side echoed throughout the cave.

“Ha, but then… sister!”

“Ha-eun, it’s already late! “There are satellite church enforcers on the other side!”

“That’s…”

Lee Shin-hyuk’s eyes wavered.

“We have to get to the outside passageway quickly! “The guild leader alone is blocking both the owl faction and the seahorse faction!”

Kim Sun-young, who usually led the Valhalla guild with cool-headed judgment and instructions, shouted in a hysterical voice as if she was throwing a tantrum.

“But… ha but.”

Lee Shin-hyuk looked at the road leading toward the joint with trembling eyes.

If I run to where Ha-eun is right now.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Even if it’s just one in a thousand.

Maybe we can save her.

Wouldn’t it be possible to protect her?

“Shinhyuk!”

A urging voice.

Lee Shin-hyuk stopped in front of a crossroads, unable to move his trembling legs.

Wow!

My cheek turned with a burning pain.

“What on earth are you hesitating about?”

Kim Seon-young glared at him with burning eyes.

“You’re my younger brother! “We are one and only family!”

He grabbed Lee Shin-hyuk by the collar and shouted as if screaming.

“How much Woohyuk…how much he sacrificed to protect you! “Are you going to come and betray Woohyuk now?!”

“….”

“Because of Ha-eun?”

A light of contempt appeared in Kim Seon-young’s eyes.

“You know what? “No matter how hard Shin Hyuk struggles his whole life, Ha-eun will never fall for Shin Hyuk.”

Phew.

The sharp blade of language pierced Lee Shin-hyuk’s heart.

He chewed his lips, unable to refute anything.

It was just as Kim Seon-young said.

Although he courted Ha-eun dozens of times, she never once looked back at him.

Even when I gave her the Yongma Eye that I borrowed money from Lee Woo-hyuk to buy.

Even when he sacrificed himself to save her during the fight with Satellite Bridge.

Even when I mustered up the courage to confess my feelings to her.

always.

always.

always.

Her eyes were focused solely on her missing brother.

‘Why… why not me.’

Wow.

Lee Shin-hyuk clenched his fists roughly and gritted his teeth.

Her younger brother, whose name I didn’t even know, crossed my mind.

‘That child… I abandoned my sister and entered a satellite church!’

Ha-eun’s younger brother left her side and became a member of the Satellite Church.

In return for healing his crippled body, he became their dog and attacked Suho Castle.

Of course, even if he became a believer of a satellite religion, he was the lowest of the low without even a position, but it is an undeniable fact that he joined a terrorist organization that threatened the world.

Isn’t the reason she’s in crisis now because she left the camp alone and went to the area to find her younger brother?

‘I am.’

I saw a road divided into two branches.

On the left is the road leading to Ha-eun.

On the right is the road leading to Lee Woo-hyuk.

‘I am…!’

Lee Shin-hyuk closes his eyes tightly.

I took a step towards the right path.

“Sorry.”

Lee Shin-hyuk ran through a collapsing cave.

I remembered the first time I met her.

Red-brown hair that flutters as if it were burning.

Ha-eun, who lost both eyes and couldn’t even use her stigmata, was hunting monsters.

“sorry Sorry sorry.”

I swore I would protect you.

I decided to stay by your side.

“I’m sorry… sister.”

Lee Shin-hyuk ran to where Lee Woo-hyuk was, leaving behind Ha-eun, who was left alone in the co-op.

Repeating fleeting apologies that only you can hear.
