Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 228

—————————————

[ As I saw and learned (1) ]

“Sleep “I’m not coming.”

After God left, Lily couldn’t sleep because she felt restless. Lily, who was rustling under the blanket, eventually sat down on the bed and looked out the window.

A night with a blue full moon.

Lily had a face that always came to mind when she saw the blue moon. That face came to mind more clearly today.

“Wendy…”

The only friend who survived until the end with Lily in Pandemonium’s laboratory.

On the day of the escape from the laboratory, Wendy sacrificed herself to buy Lily time to escape.

If it weren’t for Wendy, Lily wouldn’t have come to Earth and met Daein.

Lily recalled her last conversation with Wendy.

‘Lily. Remember what I said before? If we escape from here…’

‘If you at least survive… please.’

However, the last time I went to the continent of Gaia, I was unable to keep the promise I made to Wendy because I was busy looking for my mother and fighting Pandemonium.

Lily was annoyed by that fact. I didn’t know it was even more so after seeing Shin leave with Hotaru.

“I’m sorry Wendy. “I will definitely keep my promise the next time I go to Gaia.”

Lily promised, thinking the blue moon outside the window was Wendy. After doing that, I felt a little more at ease.

Kyaaa….

“Are you sleepy?”

Malang placed his chin on Lily’s shoulder and yawned sleepily. Lily said as she nuzzled her cheek into the little boy’s face.

“okay. “Now let’s sleep.”

Lily lay down in bed to sleep. However, a sudden huge flow of magical power woke the girl up again.

“!!”

Lily got up and ran straight to the window.

Tsutsutsutsu….

One side of the blue full moon in the night sky was slowly turning red. It was because of the huge red gate that opened on one side of the sky.

“gate?”

It was not a simple gate phenomenon. After a while, red lumps poured out like hail.

“It’s a monster!”

Moreover, that is the direction from which God fled!

Lily stayed awake until Shin and Hotaru’s presence faded, so she knew the direction they had gone.

“We have to go quickly and save him…!”

Lily was about to jump out the window, but then stopped. It was because I remembered the conversation we had before Daein left.

‘kid. ‘This is not Korea, so you can’t fight carelessly.’

‘What if a monster appears?’

‘The superhumans and soldiers here will take care of everything. So don’t show your abilities unless it’s absolutely necessary.’

‘When is it absolutely necessary?’

In response to that question, the great man playfully tapped Lily’s head and said,

‘You have to think about that and decide. ‘I can’t always be by your side, can I?’

At the time, those words were simply sad, but now that I think about it, it was as if he had known in advance that something like this would happen.

Whiiing~.

A cold breeze came in through the wide open window. Lily tried to think as calmly as possible.

“The man is not here. “I have to decide.”

Lily recalled what happened in Busan.

Daein told her to wait, but Lily, anxious, went out to find him.

After that, he met and fought the Demon King and was eventually captured and brainwashed. If it weren’t for the ‘guardian angel’ I met in the dark, I might have attacked Daein and others.

Because of that, I wrote a lot of reflections.

“I hate the self-reflection statement…”

But what was even more unpleasant and scary than the self-reflection statement was the fact that other people could have been killed or injured because of his mistake.

The lesson learned at that time made the girl act more cautiously than before.

Lily thought.

‘If the people here can stop it, I don’t have to step in.’

I also remembered how the unlucky lord had boasted earlier that there were many weapons and troops capable of fighting here.

Lily got on her tiptoes and stuck her head out the window.

-Kwakwakwauk!

Light flashed in the direction from which the red gate was coming. Gunshots and artillery fire continued non-stop, and the cries of monsters could also be heard, although they were far away. The ground was shaking slightly with the explosion.

Kugugugugung…!

Soon, the entire Yeongju Fortress (Inner Fortress) became in turmoil as news spread that the outer wall was being attacked. Lily heard people’s voices coming from the hallway.

“what? “The number of monsters is in the thousands?”

“crazy! “What kind of sudden lightning is this!”

“Wake up all soldiers who can fight right now!”

“What about my lord? “Are you still at the party, Sakura?”

People in confusion were running frantically through the hallways. There was chaos at the sudden appearance of a huge gate that did not detect any detectors and appeared without any sign.

As Lily listened to the people talking, she thought of Joo Sang-wook, who had not yet returned to the dorm.

‘What about Mr. Joo Sang-wook?’

Lily closed her eyes and spread her energy to find Joo Sang-wook. He had quite a unique presence, so he was easy to find.

“found.”

Joo Sang-wook was with many people in the castle.

In other words, it was safe.

In that case, there was only one thing he had to do.

“Let’s go out and find Oppa Shin. “You probably haven’t gone far yet.”

Kyaaa….

“You can’t be sleepy.”

Lily wrapped the soft blanket around her neck. Then he took out a cloak from the bag he kept under the bed.

Srur….

As I put on the cloak, the images of Lily and Malang melted into the air.

It was the invisibility cloak that Abraxas gave me when I ran away from home. It was torn once, but Abraxas later repaired it.

Lily came out of the room in an invisible form.

‘You have to move quietly. ‘I don’t want to cause trouble.’

Lily had seen Daein use stealth in these situations several times.

In other words, you follow what you see and learn.

***

After leaving the castle, Lily ran hard.

‘It’s very uncomfortable because I can’t fly.’

The [Guardian’s Bracelet], which consisted of a pair, gradually lost its power when Daein broke open one in Busan, and hiding its identity through invisibility when it spread its flame wings was meaningless.

The invisibility cloak only concealed the caster’s appearance, not the flame.

The [Guardian’s Bracelet] could be repaired by Jang Young-shin so it could be used again someday, but right now there was no way to fly around without being detected.

Instead, Lily diligently used the light techniques she learned in martial arts.

Whick! Swish!

The surrounding scenery quickly receded. Although it was not as fast as freely flying, Lily’s light attack was also quite high.

It didn’t take long for Lily to arrive at a place where she could see the outer walls.

“Ugh!”

“help me-!”

People were running away with scared faces.

Flames rose above the castle walls and black smoke rose. I saw red dots crawling up one by one on the castle wall.

Kihee-eeeeee!

Wow!

Oni, gray orcs, and giant spiders occupied the castle walls.

Some of them have already jumped down the castle wall. He chased down the fleeing soldiers, killed them, and covered their blood.

Pow! Bubble bubbling!

Automatic weapons installed on the outer walls exploded one after another. Heat waves and acrid smoke filled the area.

“It’s already been opened!?”

Lily’s eyes widened. The castle wall had already collapsed and monsters were coming over it.

It was because of a completely unexpected surprise attack.

Mandala prided itself on having the most technological prowess among the four tribes.

Their gate detector was able to predict gates at least an hour before they occurred and had an error rate of less than 2%. On top of the castle walls were automatic weapons that could easily block even hundreds of monsters. Therefore, only a small number of soldiers were deployed.

However, God’s awakened [Gate] ability was not detected by ordinary detectors, and

the monsters summoned by God crashed into the castle wall in numbers far exceeding the hundreds and thousands.

Whoa whoa-!!

With a roar mixed with the roars of all kinds of beasts, monsters that had crossed the castle walls rushed into the territory.

“Please save me!”

“Run away quickly!”

It wasn’t just the soldiers who were running away.

The civilians living around the outer wall, who were anxiously watching, wondering, ‘Can monsters really climb over that high wall?’ all began to run away.

Thousands of monsters chased after him, kicking up dust.

***

At that time, Mandala’s leadership was not sitting still.

“What a ridiculous thing…!”

They checked the large monitor to see the thousands of monster armies that had crossed the castle walls.

Everyone’s faces turned white at the overwhelming number of violence.

“…call in all troops immediately.”

Kiyoshi ordered all troops to gather in front of the feudal lord’s castle.

Even if the opponent had thousands of monsters, I was confident that I could completely wipe them out if I gathered my troops.

The problem was time.

And in order to buy that time, the lord gave a firm order.

“Block the northern inner gate.”

The area of Tribe Mandala is largely divided into the outer wall and the inner wall (Yeongju Castle) where the lord lives.

What the monsters broke through was only the outer castle. The defenses of Yeongju Castle were several times stronger, and the level of automatic weapons mounted was also different.

“yes? My lord. Then, the people running this way…”

Kiyoshi slapped the cheek of the soldier who questioned. The soldier’s face was torn off after being scratched by the blade’s nails.

It was instant death.

“If you want to close it, close it.”

Hearing that eerie voice, the soldier next to him quickly pressed the [Close] button.

Kugugoogung!

The gate leading into the inner city was completely sealed, and high-voltage current began to flow throughout the entire castle wall.

Crackling, crackling…!

The intention was to fry not only monsters but also humans who came close.

A situation where thousands of monsters are chasing you from behind, and a castle wall with high-voltage current flows in front of you.

“Open! “Please open it!”

“영주 이 개새끼야-!”

People running toward the inner city also saw the gate lowered. They cried and prayed or cursed the lord within the castle walls. However, no matter what was said, the tightly closed gate did not budge.

People sensed the coming fate.

Everyone will die here.

It was then.

“Stay still and don’t move.”

An unknown wind passed by the people along with the voice of a young girl.

Miracles began to happen.

Kihi-it?

The oni that were running were suddenly thrown back by an unknown force, and the bodies of those who fell while running floated into the air.

“Huh!”

The old man, who had fallen after spraining his ankle, gasped in surprise when his body suddenly rose into the air. Just when he thought he was going to be killed by the monster, some gentle force lifted him up.

Fluffy.

The old man, who emerged, quickly moved to a safe place.

Similar things happened everywhere. People who fell while being chased by monsters floated into the air and were quickly moved to a safe place.

“It’s magic!”

“Someone is saving us!”

“thank you! thank you!”

People cheered, cried, and expressed their gratitude to the unknown miracle.

Magic.

In martial arts, it was an ability called 虛空攝物.

But at the same time, there has never been an example of showing so many empty tricks even in martial arts.

“I don’t know who it is, but thank you….”

“Thank you! thank you!”

Amid shouts of gratitude coming from all directions, Lily stepped forward wearing an invisibility cloak.

‘Uncle said that if something necessary happens, we must fight!’

Although there was a slightly different interpretation, Lily acted as she saw and learned from Daein.

“No one can leave after this.”

The moment the girl’s voice was heard in the air, a wall of flames rose from the ground to protect the people.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The height of the flame wall reached tens of meters and its length reached several kilometers. In the heat, the drones floating in the air exploded all at once.

Pow! Bubble bubbling!

Lily, who protected people with flames and blocked their vision at the same time, took off her invisibility cloak and flew high into the sky.

Grumble!

Butterfly-shaped flame wings unfolded behind the girl’s back. Lily shouted from the sky.

“stop-!”

A voice filled with magical power resonated loudly throughout the battlefield. I didn’t write it knowingly, but it was a powerful lion’s hoo.

After the soul-shaking lion, the speed of the monsters that had been rushing in like a tidal wave slowed down drastically. The weak ones fell down and fainted.

At that moment, something huge flew through the air and landed in front of Lily.

Qua-aang!

The entity that shook the earth just by landing on the ground was a giant sludge that was 6 meters tall. The guy with four horns puffed up his body and roared.

Kihi-eeeeee!

The sharp yet resounding sound awakened the frightened compatriots. The oni that came to their senses roared in the same way. At that cry, other monsters also regained their evil spirits.

“god?”

Lily was surprised. It wasn’t because of the giant oni, but because of the god standing on one of its shoulders.

“Why are you there!”

“……”

Shin looked at Lily with a stern expression.

A child from Korea. A girl who is flawless and pure and makes you feel at ease just by looking at her.

But he’s a childish person who doesn’t know anything about the world.

I thought we would meet again, but not this soon.

God raised his finger and pointed to Yeongju Castle.

“Those guys in there. “To kill them all.”

It was a short answer. Lily looked at Shin with a puzzled face.

“you idiot. “Then you can’t!”

“Don’t disturb. Then I won’t forgive you either.”

God stretched out his hands to both sides. There was a strange light in the boy’s eyes.

Kiiing…!

At the same time, the brooch on his chest continued to supply magical energy to his heart. The brooch was an artifact made from a totem imbued with the power of the Demon King. The magic that flowed from there matched surprisingly well with the characteristics of the god.

As a result,

jeeeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

Jeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

Once the ability began to bloom, it began to bloom using anger as fuel and the power of the Demon King as nourishment.

The speed far exceeded even the expectations of Daein, who hoped for Shin’s rapid growth.

Wow!

Kiyaaaaa!

Countless monsters poured out from the gates that opened from all directions. All the strongest leaders gathered to God’s side.

There was madness in the boy’s eyes.

“They took what I had, abused me, and killed all my friends. “I will do the same.”

Owner of disaster-level characteristics.

The power that God had just awakened was enough to turn a city into hell.

“I know you’re strong, but no matter how much you are, you can’t stop me from where I am now.”

“……”

Thousands of monsters lined up behind God.

Crrrrr….

They were breathing heavily and waiting for their master’s command. If asked to break through that fire barrier with his body, he would do so willingly.

The second coming of the disaster that terrified Japan.

But the conditions were the same for Lily.

No, this was my predecessor in disaster.

“no. “You can’t get out of the way.”

Lily shook her head firmly. God’s expression became distorted. God did not wait any longer and gave the order to attack.

“Attack!”

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Lily sighed softly as she looked at the army of monsters rushing towards her, shaking the earth.

“If this happens, I can’t help it.”

Good luck! Good luck! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Good luck! Good luck! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I had the illusion that the stars in the sky had multiplied hundreds of times. The city became as bright as day.

But it wasn’t a star, and the day didn’t suddenly brighten.

The fireworks that Lily had summoned were burning all over the sky.

The girl looked down at the boy and spoke amidst the brilliance created by countless fireworks.

“Do you really want to get scolded?”

Soon disaster and disaster collided.
