I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 423
I am not a returner Episode 423:
War of the Stars (14)
“I… can’t stop here.”
Even for the sake of that child who could not receive any salvation.
I am.
“If only for that child… Eve.”
Make them pay for their sins at any cost.
Grumble, rumble!
The black cloud that was wrapped like a cloak penetrates his body.
Ugly black blood vessels sprouted like roots on Mobius’ skin, which was as white as jade.
[You…]
Vega looked at Mobius with trembling eyes.
Ugly black blood vessels like tree roots sprouting all over the body.
There was only one reason why the constellation’s body, made up of the magical power of stigmata, underwent such a ‘transformation’.
[That crazy bastard, is he giving away his stigmata on purpose?]
Throwing the stigmata, which can be said to be the essence of the constellation, to the clouds of the dark sky as food.
This was not just like using the body as firewood to start a fire, but it was the same as pouring oil into the burning body.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Black clouds spewed out from Mobius’ pores.
“Kukkuk keuk!”
A black cloud spewed out from the pores of the entire body and engulfed Moebius and his body.
[Phat!]
With Deneb’s urgent cry, the black sky cloud that had swallowed Mobius twisted towards the constellations.
The sanctuary developed by the constellations was torn apart like a piece of paper by the black sky clouds that shot out at an incredible speed.
[Whoa!]
[Whoa!]
The constellations whose sanctuaries were torn apart turned into powder due to the recoil and ‘annihilated’ on the spot.
[What is that?! It’s much stronger than before!]
Deneb looked at the fiercely moving black clouds with an expression filled with astonishment.
The form of the black cloud that swallowed Moebius whole is…
[…snake?]
A dark cloud that takes the shape of a huge snake.
[It ate the stigmata of Mobius and completely fused with it!]
Vega turned her head towards the constellations with an urgent cry.
[Sanctuary must not touch that ‘snake’!]
[B But!]
How can we deal with that snake without deploying Sanctuary?
[Deneb! Please hold on to that ‘snake’ just a little bit! Other constellations, gather towards the main woman!]
Vega entered the chant with her arms spread wide as if there was a way.
A cluster of silver lights gathered towards her, and blue sparks burned.
[Okay. Okay!]
Deneb nodded and ran as if sprinting through the air.
A huge snake made of black clouds turned its head towards Deneb.
Gurgling!
The snake followed closely behind Deneb at incredible speed and opened its huge mouth as if to swallow him whole.
[Damn… this thing is expensive!]
Deneb took off the ring on her middle finger and threw it in the air.
A crack was created in the empty space, like a broken glass window.
[Tsk!]
The crack healed instantly as soon as Deneb came out.
The snake, which was fiercely chasing me with its mouth open, tore through the air.
[Here you stupid reptile!]
Deneb reappeared hundreds of meters away and shouted at the ‘snake’.
However, the snake turned its head towards Vega as if it did not even care about such trivial provocations.
[Uh huh? I shouldn’t be doing this?]
Deneb, who had failed to extinguish the aggro, urgently looked around and asked for help.
[Children! Drag that guy’s aggro!]
“…Didn’t you say earlier that you would tell me why they are called the Constellations?”
Isabella sighed and launched an attack towards the huge ‘snake’ swimming in the air.
“Push away!”
“this way! “Look this way!”
Following Isabella, other awakened people also attacked the snake, but were unable to divert his attention.
The snake approached Vega, who was chanting, with its long tongue lashing out.
“It’s no use.”
Cassia narrowed her eyes and shook her head.
“That snake is moving according to Black Heaven’s instinct.”
Black Heaven’s instinct is to covet the stars.
The purpose of that ‘snake’ was to devour as much of the stigmata’s magic power.
In order to divert the snake’s attention, you must have the magical power of stigmata, which is enormous enough to stimulate his instincts.
‘Right now, there is no one with the magic of stigmata stronger than Vega.’
in other words.
No matter what they did here, the snake’s aggro was bound to be focused on Vega.
“Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to give up trying to attract aggro and block it from the front…”
“Ride!”
At that time, the fire created by Ha-eun hit the snake.
Cassia sighed deeply and shook her head.
“Ha-eun, there’s no need to lose your strength. There’s no way to get that snake’s attention right now…”
“Huh? “Is he looking this way?”
“…yes?”
The snake, which was approaching in a straight line towards Vega, suddenly stopped moving and began to turn its head towards Ha-eun.
“What is it?”
‘Snake’, who had not even made a glance while being attacked by other awakened people (even Deneb’s attack), suddenly turned towards Ha-eun.
Grumble!
A huge snake rushed towards Ha-eun fiercely.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden, you bastard!”
Ha-eun ran away with a scared expression.
However, Ha-eun, who had the Stigmata of Dragon and specialized in long-distance firepower, had no means of movement that could overcome the ‘snake’s pursuit.
[Catch me!]
Deneb hugged Ha-eun’s waist and flew into the air to avoid the snake.
Rumbling!
A snake swept past the spot where Ha-eun was standing just moments ago.
“Aaaah! No high! “Fuck that’s too high!”
A fierce scream burst from Ha-eun’s mouth as she flew hundreds of meters high while being held by Deneb.
[Don’t make a fuss and hold on tight so it doesn’t fall off!]
“Hey, hey! “Where are you touching, you sloppy little boy?”
[Hmph, don’t be mistaken. Because I’m not interested in a human woman’s body.]
“What, did you like men?”
For some reason, I got so attached to Allen.
[Don’t mistake it for tea! Isn’t that the kind of relationship you have with Allen?!]
“He’s gay…”
[Oh! Shut up before I drop you!]
“Geegaeiya….”
[Ahh! Why on earth does Pagunseong like this kind of person?]
Rurrrrrrrrrrr!
The snake flew hundreds of meters into the air, chasing after Deneb.
[Ugh…!]
Deneb desperately widened the distance to avoid the snake, but even as a constellation of the North Star, he could not completely resist the snake’s pursuit.
[Damn it!]
When I looked back at the snake that was getting closer and closer and was crying out loud.
“Throw your sister this way!”
Cassia shouted, spreading her arms.
Without hesitation, Deneb threw Haeun, who was hugging her, towards Cassia.
“Aaaah!”
[Nice catch!]
“It was a good pass.”
Cassia, who accepted Ha-eun, gave Deneb a thumbs up and then went into the shadows to shake off the snake’s pursuit.
“What am I, a basketball, you bastards?!”
“Shh. “Please be quiet.”
Cassia appeared hundreds of meters away, grabbed Ha-eun’s hand and ran to avoid the ‘snake’ flying towards her.
When the snake caught up with Cassia at incredible speed and opened its huge mouth.
[You did well!]
A ray of blue lightning shot into the snake’s wide-open mouth.
Crumbling!
With a thunderous roar, all the black clouds that made up the snake’s body burned away.
“Ah uh.”
The dark clouds cleared and what remained was the tattered appearance of Moebius.
“I am…”
Grumpy.
Moebius, kneeling on the ground, stretched out his arms towards Vega.
“Ramen for you…”
A white snake crawled out of the shadows and climbed onto his arm.
The white snake, which changed its appearance with a pure white blade, continued to grow and fired at Vega.
[Ugh…!]
Vega closed his eyes tightly as he looked at the approaching white blade.
I just used up all my strength. Because I burned the clouds of the black sky, I had no power to block or dodge the ensuing attack.
When the elongated blade was about to pierce Vega’s stigmata.
Kaaaaaaaa!
A spear fell like a thunderbolt and its blade bounced off.
“ah.”
A low exclamation flowed from between Moebius’ lips.
[Am I my child?]
“Good job, Vega.”
Ojin, who was unconscious, walked towards Moebius.
“ha.”
I sighed deeply as I saw Mobius staring into space with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
Like the scream he shouted.
What can I say to someone who has lost everything?
‘huh?’
Ojin, who was looking down at Moebius in silence with his mouth tightly shut, saw something in his eyes.
A necklace shaped like a crude apple.
A crude necklace that would have been included in a child’s play set had fallen out of the pocket of Mobius’ clothes and was lying on the floor.
“Is this yours?”
Ojin gave the necklace that had fallen on the floor and held it out to Moebius.
A ray of light appeared in his empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
“why?”
Does this mean why the necklace was returned?
“well.”
I didn’t know why I was doing such a useless thing.
Maybe it was because the image of the Heavenly Demon overlapped with his appearance as he stared blankly into space with soulless eyes.
A picture of myself from a past life where I couldn’t protect Ha-eun.
“Ah uh.”
Mobius curled up like a snake curled up, hugging a necklace shaped like a faded apple.
“Eve… Eve… Eve….”
Crying out the name of the girl he couldn’t protect.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you… my beloved… my child.”
Looking down at the sobbing Mobius, Ojin turned his head bitterly.
Suddenly.
Lee Shin-hyuk’s last memory, which I had heard about through tradition, came to mind.
-Don’t forget that you and I have only one purpose.
Was Eve the ‘purpose’ that Moebius was talking about at that time?
“Tsk.”
In both his previous life and this life, Moebius had sacrificed everything for Eve.
Just like you did.
Just like the Cheonma did.
Likewise with him━
“…Huh?”
Oh Jin’s eyes widened as he bitterly pondered the memory.
A shiver like a thunderbolt went down my spine.
Something.
It was strange.
The back and forth was incoherent.
It didn’t fit together.
Twisted and misaligned.
What is it?
What did I miss?
“ah.”
As Lee Shin-hyuk remembers, if the Heavenly Demon and Moebius had been moving with the ‘same’ purpose since their previous lives.
“Why…is Eve dead?”
Ha-eun lived.
Why did Eve die?
