Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 202

—————————————

[ New Master of the Demon King’s Castle (2) ]

Daein I looked at Lily with a puzzled expression.

“So you lost your reflection on the way here?”

Lily had so much fun outside that she appeared in front of everyone with her clothes and shoes all covered in dirt.

Lily fidgeted with her fingers, avoiding the person’s gaze.

“I definitely put it in my pocket… I guess I dropped it while flying earlier…”

The great man looked at the sullen top of his head with an expression of bewilderment.

“You want me to believe that? Be honest. “You came back from playing without writing a reflection letter, right?”

At that moment, Lily looked up at the great man with an expression of grievance in the world.

“It’s not a lie! I really wrote it! I wrote a whole page! “It’s true!”

“What are you talking about that you did well?”

“I wrote it… I wrote it…” As

the man frowned, Lily tightened her neck in pain. The girl’s voice crawled like an ant.

“And it wasn’t just fun… he also did some good things.”

Lily told Daein about meeting infected patients and taking them to Dahye Joo.

‘Because I did a good thing. ‘Can’t you please see that I haven’t written a reflection statement?’

The shallow intentions were clearly visible on his face. The great man snorted.

“There is no way. That’s that and this is this. “As punishment, write four pages of reflection by tomorrow.”

“Why chapter 4? Aren’t there two, one for today and one for tomorrow?”

The great man placed his hand on the head of the little boy who had no idea what was going on in this world.

He tsk tsk and clicked his tongue.

“If you don’t repay money on time, interest accrues. “Otherwise, who will pay it back on time?”

Lily gaped. It’s true that I was wrong, but it was still too much.

“too bad! “Aren’t you a complete thief?”

“…When I see you sometimes, you only have an excellent vocabulary in strange areas.”

Who on earth did you learn this from? A royal wedding?

He was a man who tilted his head and muttered.

“I wrote a real reflection…. Wait a minute, man!”

Lily said to wait just in case and started searching the pockets she had searched before coming.

The great man looked at the figure with a meaningful smile.

‘Look for Baeknal. ‘Is there a lost reflection?’

In fact, Daein believed that Lily had actually written a reflection letter.

How do you know?

Because Wang Guho picked it up earlier and brought it to him.

‘If I get scolded like this, I won’t lose anything in the future.’

This was all part of education.

It was never because it was fun to see the little boy in trouble.

“no way. “Is it possible that a written reflection that I never wrote would come out of my pocket?”

“wait! “It might be here!”

Lily, who was very intoxicated, began to empty her pockets.

But of course, there was no way that Daein’s written reflection would come out.

Instead, he

pouts.

The biscuit that Wang Guho gave me to eat stuck out of my pocket.

“!!”

Whick!

With a flash of lightning, Lily shoved the biscuit back into her pocket.

And then he slowly raised his head and looked at Daein.

“…….”

“Look at this?”

The moment our eyes meet, a meaningful smile spreads across the person’s lips. A drop of cold sweat appeared on Lily’s forehead.

“What was that just now?”

“What what what?”

A drop of cold sweat forming on the bridge of the nose. Lily rolled her eyes, trying to avoid the person’s gaze.

The great man told what he saw with his own eyes.

“What is that square, flat thing inside the individually wrapped yellow plastic?”

“…eraser?”

Tsk tsk. An evil smile appeared on the great man’s lips.

This stupid little boy. 100 years is a long way to fool me.

“okay? “Then what are those cookie crumbs all over your mouth?”

“Huh!”

Lily wiped her mouth in a hurry without realizing it. But there was nothing on the corners of his mouth.

The moment Lily realized that fact, she muttered with a frustrated expression.

“It all happened….”

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

A great man walked over with an expression more sinister than the devil. A black aura – actually – emanated from his entire body.

“kid. “You’re ready, right?”

“Heehee…!”

“What? “Can you put your hand down?”

Lily moved her hand down little by little and brought it close to her ear again.

‘How did know?’

It seemed like the man had eyes on his back too. I clearly wasn’t looking, but when my hand went down just a little, I knew it like a ghost.

“My arm hurts…”

“I’m just saying it hurts.” “Who wants to eat snacks secretly?”

“I was wrong…”

Lily said, looking at the person’s eyes. However, the man was so busy examining the items on the table that he did not even look at Lily.

Lily said, her arms shaking.

“mister. It seems like over an hour has passed…”

“Exactly 8 minutes have passed. “Don’t be harsh and listen straight.”

The great man spoke without even looking back. Lily pursed her lips.

“Tch… but what are you doing here?”

The great man had been alone here in the main hall of the Demon King’s Castle for several days.

Entry of other people is prohibited at all.

Lily came to write a reflection every day, and only Wang Guho and Joo Dahye occasionally came to report when something important happened.

But even they didn’t know what exactly Daein was doing here.

“I’m just sorting out the loot. “It’s almost over now.”

The great man spoke while looking at the items spread out on the table.

One red iron stake.

A glass bottle containing pitch black liquid.

A staff with two snakes entangled together.

A large green crystal.

There were four items on the table like this. The great man looked at them one by one.

First, the great man picked up the red iron stake on the table.

‘First, I confirmed all the abilities the totem had.’

It was the [Devil’s Totem], an item that Daein had coveted even before he left for Busan.

The Demon King’s Totem was a material that could be used to create top-class artifacts.

In addition to being able to use the unique power of each Demon King to a certain extent, even if it was carried like a talisman, it would not be attacked by most demon beasts.

‘When you create an artifact with Balaam’s Totem, you gain passive immunity to regenerative poison and mental magic. I think I’ll have other abilities in addition to this…’

I thought I would have to make it to find out.

When creating an artifact, the ability of the creator is also important.

‘But the amount is a bit ambiguous.’

The great man lifted the stake and inspected it.

It’s not enough to make armor or weapons, and it’s too much to make accessories.

“I don’t really need daggers or throwing weapons…” After

thinking for a while, Daein came to a conclusion.

“Why don’t you take it to Youngshin first?”

As he is Korea’s best producer, Jang Young-shin might come up with some unique ideas.

The great man put down the stake and picked up the second trophy.

“What is this…”

It was the magic wand that Balaam used.

It was a miraculous artifact that amplified the user’s magical power and strengthened the power of magic in the form of two green snakes twisting each other’s bodies and climbing on a staff.

If it were the continent of Gaia, where magic was developed, it would be an item so precious that it would literally be worth its price.

However, to a great person, it was nothing more than a sturdy blunt weapon.

‘It’s not like there are any wizards around me…’

“Huh? “This is the cane that the bad guy used.”

Lily came up next to the great man and said while looking at the staff. Both arms were halfway down.

“hmm…?”

The great man looked alternately at the magic wand and at Lily. For a moment, agony flashed across his face.

After a while, the great man muttered to himself.

“…no. This is not it. “If you add this, you’re a real witch.”

“what?”

The great man lightly hit the top of Lily’s head with the tip of his magic wand.

Perfect!

“Aya!”

“Keep your hands up straight. Do you want to keep sneaking down?”

“It’s too much…”

Lily’s lips popped out. The great man snorted and put away Balaam’s staff.

‘Let’s keep this for now.’

Lily’s abilities were slightly different from magic. Holding a magic wand will not make your abilities dramatically stronger.

The great man looked at the third object.

A clear glass bottle containing black liquid.

If you look closely, you can see that the black liquid inside the glass bottle is swirling furiously.

“hey. “Is it worth staying in there?”

The moment Daein held the glass bottle with his hand, he heard the terrible screams of Balaam trapped inside.

[[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa of of of of of of of

of the no?

An object made by Young-shin Jang, where seven ultra-small bong margins were installed overlapping each other inside and outside the glass bottle and coated with Joo Da-hye’s divine power.

[[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

!?

The great man shook the glass bottle from side to side and said.

“If you want to return to the demon world, you will have to give up everything you know.”

In fact, most of what Daein did during the few days inside was digging up information about the demon world from Balaam.

This is in preparation for the great disaster Hell Gate that will begin in earnest later.

[[I will tell you everything! I’ll tell you all the information I know, starting with the name of the strongest king in the demon world, so please get me out of here…!]]

Balaam seemed to have surrendered easier than expected.

However, a lot of the information he said was incorrect.

That means it’s a lie.

If it were someone else, his acting that put all his effort into it might have worked, but it wouldn’t have worked for a person who only vaguely knows the circumstances of the demon world.

“This bastard. I still haven’t come to my senses. It won’t work. “See you in a week.”

[[Why why why…!!]]

“If you lie again, I’ll see you in a month.”

[[[Click!]]

Tuk.

The great man put the glass bottle down on the table. Then there were no more screams.

I flinch.

The glass bottle on the table was just shaking left and right.

Lily, who was watching from the side, asked Daein.

“mister. But are you really going to let this bad guy go later?”

The great man shook his head proudly.

“no. It will take away all the necessary information and destroy it. “You can lie to a bad guy.”

Lily nodded and nodded.

“also. “I knew you would do that.”

“…You think that nuance is quite subtle?”

The great man was thinking about giving him another hit with his cane, but it looked so shabby that he decided not to.

“Then now we just have to deal with this…”

The great man looked at the large green crystal lying on the table.

Excited. Excited.

A green crystal that pulsates slowly like a living heart.

Its identity was the main core of the Demon King’s Castle.

‘This is the most unfortunate thing. If only I could handle this….’

Demon King Castle.

A demonic weapon that supplies powerful magical power to the demon king, resonates with the demon king, and strengthens its power and authority several times.

In addition, as it was a being with spirituality, it was able to use its own judgment to fight and transform its form in various ways.

This Demon King’s summoning is not perfect, so it remains in its basic form, but it could be grown and strengthened into a formidable strategic weapon.

So it was even more disappointing.

“Tsk…”

As far as Daein knew, no race other than the Demons had ever become the owner of the Demon Castle.

‘I was wondering what would happen since I have the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill…’

I experimented with various things for a few days, but I didn’t really find anything.

The great man muttered, licking his lips with regret.

“I can’t help it. “We have no choice but to destroy it and use it as materials, as originally planned.”

Main core was one of the most precious materials in the demon world. Even if you make it as an artifact, you will be able to make it to the highest level.

The moment Daein decided to destroy the main core, he said,

“Uncle. “Can’t we just kill him?”

“hmm? why?”

Lily said, looking at the main core with a pitiful expression.

“Poor. “I’ve been begging you to save my life since a while ago…”

For a moment, Daein thought he had heard wrong.

“…what? “Who is begging?”

“Hey!”

Lily’s finger pointed precisely at the main core.

The great man’s pupils widened.

“Can you…can you hear what this is saying?”

At that moment, the main core of the Demon King’s Castle blinked rapidly. It seemed as if they were agreeing with each other.

“huh. “Can’t you hear me?”

Is it weird for people to hear that? I was about to say this, but Daein just asked:

“What are they saying?”

Maybe this…?

There was hope in the great man’s eyes.

“I will do anything if you let me live. But I was very frustrated because I couldn’t communicate… Oh, I guess I’m the only one who can hear this!”

Lily seemed to have finally realized that fact.

Among the demons, he communicated with the Demon King, who is said to only be able to communicate with the Demon King level.

‘I don’t think this is a good thing, but…’

Still, Daein decided to take advantage of the good fortune that came before him.

“kid. First put your arms down.”

“uh?”

Daein took Lily’s hand and put her down. He then stroked the girl’s red hair as if stroking an obedient dog.

“Because I did something nice today. “I will especially give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.”

“really?”

“then. “If we handle this matter well, we can cut the amount of reflection papers in half.”

Lily’s eyes lit up as she was caught by those words.

“What? “I’ll do it no matter what!”

“You just have to tell him exactly what I say.”

The great man pointed to the main core with his finger. He said with a grin.

“If you don’t make a contract with me, I will make you just like the demon king next to you.”

After a while,

the main core that floated on the table trembled and approached Daein.
