I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 275

I am not a regressor Episode 275

To Magyeong (1)

[This is reporter Choi Gyeong-mi of Kukje News, Eyes that See the World. At around 2 a.m. local time on June 8, an organization that was distributing illegal sexual relics on a large scale was arrested in France.]

[All of the arrested organization members suffered third-degree or higher burns and were immediately transported to a local hospital. Suspicions are being raised that the organization in question is related to the Duverman family, which has a strong presence in France. Accordingly, the Duverman family has announced that the suspicions are completely untrue and that they will respond strongly to groundless rumors. .]

[In the past month, a series of arson attacks on illegal businesses in Europe have continued, and the EU side…]

Dang.

Oh Jin clicked his tongue as he turned off the TV.

“The world is just as ugly here and there.”

Over the past month, rumors about a serial arsonist active in Europe have often been heard in the ears of Oh Jin, who was busy preparing to go to the devil’s land.

Did you say that there were 8 illegal businesses that were reduced to ashes in just one month?

The scale of the incident was too large to be considered the work of a single arsonist.

“I think you have to be at least a high-ranking awakened person to be able to do this… right, sister?”

“uh? Yes. yes!”

Ha-eun, who was packing her luggage next to Oh-jin, suddenly raised her head and smiled awkwardly.

“…Why are you reacting like that?”

“Oh, it’s nothing bad! “Have you packed everything before that?”

“ok. “This is going to be overflowing.”

Ohjin grinned, patting the black backpack on his back.

Contrary to the saying that it would be ‘overflowing’, the size of the backpack on my back was not that big.

At most, it is about the size of a small hiking backpack that can be used when climbing a local mountain.

It seemed too insufficient to leave for an unknown land called Demonic Gyeong.

“Isn’t that what you received from Sihu?”

“that’s right.”

Oh Jin, who stopped by the association a month ago after hearing that he had something to deliver, received this backpack as a gift.

A relic with a space expansion function, like an infinite pocket commonly found in fantasy.

It was a functional relic that had the function of reducing the weight of the items inside, so no matter how many items were put in it, it was not that heavy.

“How much is in it?”

“About 400 to 500 kg? “I put in everything I needed, including half a year’s worth of food, an emergency potion tent, and a cot.”

At this rate, you won’t have to suffer for food, clothing, and shelter when you go to the devil’s land.

“Wow, I crammed in a lot.”

“Is there anything else you need? “Just tell me and I’ll send Roberto to get it right away.”

Isabella, who has a meticulous personality, organized the items in her backpack into a ledger and checked again to see if anything else was needed.

“This is enough. “You can just get everything else from there anyway.”

“Yes, I understand. “Oh, by the way, sister, do you need anything?”

“huh? me? “What do I do in particular?”

I already packed a change of clothes and all the necessary items.

“What about toner, lotion, and mask pack?”

“uh? “Why do you need something like that to go to the devil?”

I didn’t go to Magyeong to enjoy the trip carefree.

The reason I go to the Demon World is to defeat the kings of the Demon World and block the plans of the Heavenly Demon.

There was no reason to take care of cosmetics or anything like that.

“You can’t do that!”

Isabella frowned and shouted.

She stretched out her hand and stroked Ha-eun’s flawless skin as she spoke.

“No matter how high-ranking an awakened person you are, you cannot let down your guard. “How sad would Oh Jin be if your sister’s skin got damaged?”

“Yes? Is that so?”

“It doesn’t take up a lot of space anyway, so be sure to take it with you. “The risk of skin damage is especially high in harsh environments like Makyeong.”

“But it’s not like I’m going on a trip…”

“Use it! Follow me, sister. “There are products that have lower performance but are good for portable use.”

“Now wait a minute!”

Ha-eun was caught by Isabella and dragged into the room.

[…I see that their relationship has improved a lot since we haven’t seen each other.]

“I see.”

I don’t know what happened while I was visiting the association a month ago.

Ha-eun and Isabella, who until then had been growling as if they were going to eat each other, began to rapidly grow closer.

The two of them went abroad together to prepare to go to the palace and did not return for several days, and there were many cases where they were together when they were home.

Sometimes we even went into the bathhouse together and chatted for hours.

Ha-eun and Isabella stuck around so much that Oh-jin felt left out.

“Are you a little sad?”

Ojin looked back at Vega, who was sitting on his shoulder.

He feels left out, so what about Vega?

[Chuck. It’s not like that!]

Vega cleared his throat and shook his head.

Looking at the momentary panicked expression, it seemed like he was quite disappointed.

“But if we go to the magic world, we will have more time to spend together.”

Until now, we’ve all been busy preparing various things.

After entering the Demonic Realm, there will not be many instances where you will fall down.

[Didn’t you say that’s not the case?]

Vega slapped Ojin’s forehead and pouted his lips.

“What about Riak?”

[Wait a moment.]

Vega put her hands together as if praying.

A silver halo shimmered and light erupted into the air.

What emerged from the halo of light was a wolf with beautiful silver fur.

Riak.

The Holy Spirit, who had inherited part of Vega’s soul, looked back at Ojin and asked in a low voice.

“…Are you really planning on going to the devil’s palace?”

“I have to go.”

“….”

Riak kept his mouth shut and slightly averted his gaze.

The gloomy sunken eyes and drooping ears gave off a somewhat lonely atmosphere.

“Why are you acting so strangely?”

“…It is nothing.”

Riak shook his head quietly.

It was a far cry from the fiery personality he usually showed.

“So are you going straight to the Khan Kingdom?”

‘Khan’, the kingdom of the beastmen that exists in the magical world.

It was the kingdom of demonic beasts and Riak’s hometown, located closest to the first rift that connected the Earth and the Demon World.

“No, before that, I want to meet Cheon Kwon-seong and hear some stories about the Khan Kingdom. “You have no idea what the Khan Kingdom is like right now?”

It is said that Riak became the Holy Spirit of Vega more than a hundred years ago.

After becoming the Holy Spirit, it would not have been easy for him to come out of the sanctuary due to the restrictions of the law, so it was inevitable that he would not know the situation in his hometown.

“…Okay, I don’t know what the situation is there right now.”

Riak lowered his head helplessly and looked down at the floor.

I could see his front paws on the floor trembling faintly.

“Riak?”

When Ojin frowned and tried to approach Riak.

Crackling.

For a moment, my vision was distorted and a memory appeared in my mind.

-How could there be beastmen in the sanctuary…

-Crumble, rumble.

-The wound is serious. Are you okay?

Inside a sanctuary made of starlight.

A silver wolf covered in blood and a goddess looking down at him with concern.

-sorry. I’m sorry… I couldn’t protect you…

The scar-covered wolf mumbled as if in a daze, shedding tears mixed with blood.

The silver-haired goddess looked down at the fallen wolf and gently furrowed her fair eyebrows.

-I’ll call you for a part-time job, so please wait a moment.

The goddess stood up and found the constellation of Aquarius.

Soon, a constellation called Albail appeared and treated the wolf’s wounds.

As soon as the silver wolf’s wounds were healed, he stumbled and headed somewhere.

-The wound is not fully healed yet, so stay still.

The goddess asked as she carefully caught the wolf.

-Oh, I haven’t even asked your name yet.

-….

The silver wolf looked back at the goddess in silence and opened his mouth.

-…Riak.

In a voice full of regret and guilt.

-I am Riak, a warrior from the Silver Mane tribe.

I answered like I was chewing.

Crackling.

My distorted vision returned to its original state.

I saw Riak lowering his head helplessly, just like the image in my mind.

‘This is…’

Ojin’s eyes narrowed.

Memories of beings other than your own.

To be exact, it would be Vega’s memory.

‘Is it a sense of déjà vu?’

Déjà vu is a characteristic in which some of the memories engraved in one’s stigmata are passed down.

It wasn’t necessarily that he was only reacting to Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.

‘But until now, Vega’s memories have never flowed in.’

Has something changed since Heukcheon bloomed?

Ojin frowned for a moment and continued his thoughts, then quickly shifted his gaze towards Riak.

In my memories, Riak looked as helpless as now, with his head down and full of self-blame and regret.

“Are you doing this because of what happened in the past?”

“…What?! “What do you think about that… Ah.”

After a short exclamation, Riak let out a low cry.

If it’s a misdiagnosis, it’s crazy to think that a returner who went back in time might know about his past.

“It’s nothing to worry about, kid.”

Riak turned his head coldly.

“How much longer are you going to procrastinate? “Any warrior must act quickly!”

“…Okay, you idiot.”

Oh Jin didn’t bother to inquire further about his past.

Everyone has a past or two that they don’t want to talk about.

“sister! Isabella! “Let’s leave quickly!”

“Oh yes!”

“Please wait a moment!”

Ha-eun and Isabella, who had packed a lot of cosmetics, hurried out of the room.

* * *

Ojin headed to the North Pole on a private plane prepared by the Colgrande family.

As always, there was a lot of demonic beasts near the first crack, but it wasn’t at a level that would be difficult for Ojin and his group to pass through.

“then.”

Ojin stepped into a black fissure with a diameter of 50 km.

Along with the floating sensation, my vision went black.

and.

When he opened his eyes, what unfolded in front of him was a world called ‘The Demonic Scenery’.

It was a land of demonic beasts, not humans.

-You’re here.

As I arrived at the Demon Palace, a mocking voice echoed in my head.

-I was waiting.

Ohjin took a step forward without hesitation.

“…okay.”

When I first set foot in the magic world, I couldn’t tell whose voice it was.

“I have come.”

I know now.
