I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 249
I am not a returner Episode 249:
Heavenly Dragon (1)
3 hours since Ojin’s celebration party began.
When the heated party atmosphere cooled down slightly and the sound of singing from the TV turned on rang out in the noisy living room.
People who sensed that it was time to go back got up one by one.
“haha. The party was really fun! “I’ll contact you again next time!”
“Goodbye~ Manager Gorilla!”
“Go gorilla!”
A manager is in tears.
“Goodbye sister too! “If you need any equipment later, stop by the lab!”
“Oh, you’re giving it to me for free?”
“What if it’s fun?”
“I’m kidding. “I will pack up a lot of Seongyuseok and bring it with me. Please ask me then.”
Ha-eun grinned and tapped Kim Si-hoo on the shoulder.
“Then let’s go back first.”
“Yes, go in carefully!”
Manager Han took Kim Si-hoo out.
“But why are you like that? “Did you drink too much?”
Rebecca, a woman with dark green hair, slurped the remaining alcohol into her mouth and asked.
Where her eyes turned, she saw Ojin lying face down on the dining table, breathing heavily.
“Eh? “I noticed earlier that you hardly ever drink alcohol.”
Ha-eun tilted her head and tapped Oh-jin’s shoulder as he lay prone.
“What’s wrong with Ojina?”
“…never mind.”
Ohjin raised his head and glared at Isabella sitting across from him.
Isabella stood up with a satisfied expression, as if she had just eaten a hearty health food.
“Then I’ll clean up after myself~”
Isabella hummed and cleared away the dishes.
Ha-eun tilted her head at the strange energy flowing between the two.
“Hmm.”
Rebecca, who was quietly watching the scene, burst into laughter.
“Isn’t there just one competitor for this?”
Rebecca stood up from her chair and leaned slightly toward Ojin.
Rebecca, with a playful smile, whispered in a low voice in Ojin’s ear.
“But… isn’t that too bold in front of people?”
“…!”
Startle.
Ojin’s eyes widened.
When I looked back at Rebecca with eyes filled with shock, I saw Rebecca holding her stomach and bursting into laughter.
“what? What? “Why are you smiling all of a sudden?”
Ha-eun is just tilting her head with an expression of confusion.
“Ahahaha! never mind.”
Rebecca laughed heartily and stood up.
“Then I’ll just leave. Can you invite me again next time, Mr. Pagunseong?”
Rebecca walks to the front door with a wink.
“…ha.”
Ojin touched his forehead as if he had a headache.
[Is everyone slowly going back?]
Vega, whose belly was swollen, flew up and approached Ojin.
[What?]
Is it because I ate too much?
Vega, which was flying, lost its balance and fell down.
Riak quickly rushed over and caught the falling Vega on his back.
“Are you okay, Vega?”
[Keuuk hum! Now, I got drunk for a moment and lost my balance!]
“Hey, just looking at it, it’s because I ate too much. Why is it the alcohol’s fault?”
[It’s noisy!]
“Ahh!”
Vega blushed and flew up to Ha-eun, pulling her earlobe.
When the atmosphere in the living room is about to become noisy again.
“Mr. Oh Jin.”
Lee Woo-hyuk, who had not yet gone, approached Oh Jin.
“Are you going to pass away soon, Woohyuk?”
“yes. Before that, I have something to ask Mr. Oh Jin. Oh, to be exact… to Ha-eun.”
“yes?”
“ok? me?”
Haeun, who was arguing with Vega, opened her eyes round.
Lee Woo-hyuk glanced at Ha-eun with an embarrassed expression.
“Um… I’m not going to tell you this at the party, but I’m going on a business trip abroad tomorrow.”
Lee Woo-hyuk, who had been talking round and round, let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth.
“Have you heard any news that Named Monsters are active again recently?”
“Oh yeah. “I’ve heard of it.”
I don’t know if there is any connection between the two.
I had heard that the Black Star Society began its activities in earnest and that named monsters that had been inactive for a while had recently begun to move again.
“It’s not as bad as other countries, but in Korea too, there was a big disaster caused by named monsters.”
“….”
Oh Jin is also well aware of this.
no.
It’s impossible not to know.
What is the name of the named monster that caused the disaster?
“Heavenly Dragon Barbatos.”
A cool, murderous look flashed in Oh Jin’s eyes.
Lee Woo-hyuk nodded heavily.
“yes. “Recently, circumstances have been detected in North Korea that Cheon Ju-ryong has resumed his activities.”
Six years ago now, when Ha-eun had just become an Awakened person in her fourth year.
There was a time when a named monster that devastated North Korea and established itself there led a group of monsters to the south.
A major war broke out in the center of downtown Seoul, and thousands of people were massacred.
In an unprecedented situation in history, guilds that were at odds over their interests joined hands, and the awakened people who had silently entered and exited the gate alone gathered in one place.
And in its place.
“The Heavenly Dragon… has appeared again?”
Ha-eun was there too.
In the past, the level and number of awakened people was at its lowest point compared to now.
Ha-eun, who had the highest level of skill among the awakened people, was placed in the group that directly competed with Cheon Ju-ryong.
Although they succeeded in driving out the Heavenly Dragon at the cost of the lives of dozens of awakened people, they were unable to kill it in the end.
and.
Before he retreated, Heavenly Juryong cursed her one last time.
The cruel dragon’s curse that steals the light.
“yes. “It hasn’t shown any active movement yet, but it is certain that it has reappeared.”
Lee Woo-hyuk took out a photo from his pocket.
There was a clear picture of a purple dragon walking through downtown Pyongyang, which was in ruins due to a monster invasion.
“….”
Ha-eun’s expression hardened after seeing the photo.
A dragon with purple scales that symbolizes curse and poison.
It was the image of Heavenly Dragon that still remained vivid in her memory.
“…huh?”
No, there was one different part.
“What are these black horns?”
Two horns protruding from the head of the Heavenly Dragon.
There was no horn like that anywhere in her memories.
“We don’t know that either. However, except for the horns, it is the same as the past Heavenly Dragon.”
“…I see.”
Ha-eun nodded with a heavy expression.
Lee Woo-hyuk continued speaking cautiously.
“As far as I know, I heard that Ha-eun participated in the operation to suppress the Heavenly Dragon at the time… is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
“Can you tell me what you know about the Heavenly Dragon?”
If you want to know information about the Heavenly Dragon, there is no better person than Ha-eun, who fought the Heavenly Dragon directly at the time.
“Are you planning to subdue the Heavenly Dragon?”
“yes. That’s right. “You never know when he’ll come down again with a group of monsters.”
If it was necessary to subdue the Heavenly Dragon, the wisest thing to do would be to attack its nest directly before it resumed its activities and formed a proper force.
“….”
Ha-eun frowned as if recalling a nightmare she didn’t want to remember.
“First of all, the curse attack is very difficult. “It uses a variety of curses to match its name.”
From basic weakness to curses that cause headaches and vomiting, to curses that slow you down and curses that make you feel terrible pain.
As its name suggests, Heavenly Dragon used countless curses.
“The time when her scales are shining is when she used the curse. “The strength of the curse varies depending on how many scales are shining at that time.”
“okay.”
“Just a moment, Ha-eun.”
Kim Seon-young quickly takes out her smartphone and records her words.
“yes. “Please say that again.”
“Considering its size, it is definitely weak in close combat. “The movements are also slow.”
“What about your flight capabilities?”
“That bastard can’t fly. “It has wings, but I’ve never seen it fly.”
Ha-eun recalled the terrible memories of that time and told as much information as she could.
“Then… do you know where its nest is?”
“nest? “I don’t know where the nest is.”
“yes. If you don’t know, at least guess where it is….”
“Well. “Even if I guess it’s a place, I’m not sure.”
Ha-eun scratched her head with an embarrassed expression.
A deep sigh flowed from Lee Woo-hyuk’s mouth.
“As expected, Ha-eun doesn’t even know the location of the nest.”
In order to subdue the Heavenly Dragon, you must directly attack its nest before it gathers its forces.
There was no way to know the location of the important nest.
“If only I could find out the location of the nest…”
The moment Lee Woo-hyuk trailed off bitterly.
-If only I could figure out the location of the nest…
Facet.
For a moment, Oh Jin’s vision was distorted, and Lee Woo-hyuk’s voice muttering the same words as before rang in his head.
‘This.’
Ojin’s eyes shone sharply.
The feeling I had when Deja Vu, a new attribute of Black Heaven I acquired not long ago, was activated.
-Woohyuk! Over there! That’s his nest!
Along with Lee Shin-hyuk’s loud voice, the location of the Heavenly Dragon’s Nest came into my head.
“Whew. “I’m sorry for bringing back bad memories on a good day.”
“no. “You’re going on a business trip tomorrow?”
“yes. “I heard that Named Monster has resumed activities overseas, so I’m going to check if there’s any information worth referencing.”
“It’s a struggle.”
“haha. “Someone has to do it.”
Lee Woo-hyuk took his coat and stood up.
“Then we’ll just go. “I enjoyed the meal.”
“yes. “Please come in.”
Oh Jin sent Lee Woo-hyuk off without saying a word.
Sweet.
The door closed and the noisy party ended completely.
“Then shall we quickly clean up after ourselves?”
[The main lady will help too!]
Ha-eun and Vega started cleaning the messy house.
“….”
Oh Jin quietly closed his eyes and recalled memories from long ago.
A hospital room filled with the smell of medicine.
The image of Ha-eun lying on the bed in the hospital room, shivering in the unfamiliar darkness.
The one who took the light away from her.
The blue fireworks glowed softly in the eyes that slowly opened.
“Everyone has something to say.”
“ok?”
[What do you mean?]
Ha-eun and Isabella Vega’s eyes turned to Oh-jin.
“You know the story about the Heavenly Dragon that you just heard?”
“Oh yeah.”
I feel sorry for the Valhalla Guild.
“Let’s catch him.”
If this is something someone has to do.
That would not be Lee Woo-hyuk, but himself.
