Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 252
—————————————
[Humanity’s Strongest Wall]
One month is It went by in the blink of an eye.
In the Great Basin Desert,
humanity has built a siege network there to combat the global catastrophe called Hellgate.
“Whoa…”
Wang Guhao slowly took a deep breath and relaxed.
He was looking at so many gates that he couldn’t even see them all.
‘…There are so many.’
Gates that are closed like cocoons.
From small enough for small animals to large enough to fit high-rise buildings. Gates of all shapes and sizes were all pulsating with the same cycle.
Thump… thump… thump… thump… thump!
Thump… thump… thump… thump… thump!
Thump… thump… thump… thump… thump!
It was like the sound of a drummer’s drum before starting a battle, or like the heartbeat of countless demons that would pour out from within after a while.
gulp.
Wang Guhao swallowed his saliva and clenched his fists.
Although he was now a world-famous superhuman, Wang Guhao still felt nervous before a battle.
“…No one should die.”
Although the reason is very different from before.
[Notify the scene. The First-Hell Gate will open in 20 minutes.]
It was a broadcast from the control tower, Demon Castle. Wang Guhao raised his head and looked at the Demon King’s Castle floating high in the sky.
The Demon King’s Castle was floating in the sky above the center of Hell Gate.
‘All enemies that can fly will flock there…’
Wang Guhao looked up at the sky in worry. I was worried about Manager Baek Young-hee, Team Leader Joo, and Jang Young-shin who were stationed at the Demon King Castle.
“It’s too dangerous as expected….”
“It’s crazy. Yanmar. Even if a nuclear bomb were to fall on a group there, it would be fine.”
“Ah, Minjae hyung.”
When I turned my head back, I saw Minjae flying from behind. Minjae’s whole body, while maintaining [Demonization], glowed silver.
“What about the teams in the back?”
“I gave them a kick in the butt to make them relax, and they got better.”
Minjae got down next to Wang Guho and said with a giggle.
Compared to 7 months ago, Minjae’s [demonized] body looked surprisingly sleeker.
The huge figure, which was over 3 meters long, shrunk to the size of an ordinary human (though it was still a big one), and the two large horns became as small as the joints of the little fingernails and only slightly protruded above the forehead.
However, I never felt weaker just because I was smaller than before.
Rather, the power feels much more compressed and refined.
He even showed a relaxed smile, as if the once fierce beast had turned into a skilled hunter.
Seeing that smile, Wang Guhao said, feeling a little relieved.
“Everyone trained hard for today.”
“How difficult was it? I really told you to die….”
Min-jae stood next to Wang Gu-ho and waited for the First-Hell Gate to open.
[Notify the scene. First-Hell Gate will open in 15 minutes.]
Boom. thud. thud. thud. thud!
thud. thud. thud. thud. thud!
thud. thud. thud. thud. thud!
“That… your pulse is getting faster a little bit, right?”
“yes. that’s right.”
The two looked at the First Hell Gate with nervous expressions.
It wasn’t just them. All troops were tensely watching the scene.
Thousands of gigantic silkworm cocoons swell and sink, then swell and sink again, repeatedly.
Accordingly, boom! thud! thud! thud! As the air vibrated, the resonated waves spread out in all directions.
Tsutsutsutsu….
The magical power in the air changed and unusual phenomena began to occur.
[…notify the scene. First-Hell Gate will open in 10 minutes. Afterwards, communication failure may occur…]
…Chijijik.
And then the broadcast was cut off. A wide mana pulse occurred, rendering all electronic devices in the area unusable.
“It’s starting soon.”
“Finally…”
People were not embarrassed or surprised because the situation was fully expected.
Just because electronic devices did not work did not mean that communication was impossible.
[This is the American Superhuman Association. Communication is good.]
[China is also good.]
[Russia is good.]
[South American Union. There seems to be a bit of noise…]
The superhumans maintained communication using communication artifacts brought in from the continent of Gaia.
“Everyone doesn’t seem very nervous. “Am I the only one nervous like this?…”
Minjae looked at Wang Guho, who was crying, and shook his head.
‘This kid still doesn’t know how great he is.’
Well, even if you tell me for a hundred days, it’s no use.
Because Wang Guho is that kind of guy. He still lacks confidence, is kind like a bully, and is sometimes frustratingly honest.
Minjae patted Wang Guho on the shoulder and said.
“They say if you get tired, you’ll burn out. Brother Daein told me everything about those guys. “Why should we be scared?”
“…but that’s true.”
Wang Guho’s eyes lit up when the story of the great man came up.
Although he was a great man who was promoted to vice president a long time ago, to Wang Gu-ho, the landlord was the eternal ‘team leader.’
‘When we first met, the team leader saved me, even though I didn’t even know his name.’
A time when Wang Guho was treated as an outcast in the Black Hound Guild. He was a half tank with slurred speech and a timid personality.
When he was on the verge of death from the attack of a giant snail, it was Daein who saved King Guho, who was ignored by all guild members.
‘…Until then, everyone was just trying to use me.’
-hey. That’s not how you use your personality.
The words were blurted out as if they were annoying.
That was the first sight of Daein that Wang Guho remembered.
Afterwards, Dae-in came to the Black Hound Guild to scout Wang Gu-ho and even confronted CEO Kim Tae-jin.
“…I went through a lot of hardships under the team leader.”
Looking back, it was a pleasant hardship.
The feeling of becoming stronger every day was a joy that could not be explained in words, and being recognized by the people around him was the first happiness Wang Guho had ever experienced.
That I am needed somewhere.
That feeling of exaltation little by little changed Wang Guho’s personality, which had been lacking in self-esteem.
The boy who lost his parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage observing the opinions of those around him, has now grown into a confident young man.
Although I was still somewhat timid.
‘I also want to repay the team leader. I don’t know if I can do what he wants, but….’
“…At least I won’t let the people you care about die.”
It was when Wang Guho muttered as if he was making a promise.
Weeeeeeeee!
A siren rang from the devil’s castle in the sky. It was a signal that there were less than 5 minutes left until the First Hellgate appeared.
“Whoa…”
Wang Guhao took a deep breath and walked forward.
“Then team 7. “I will move.”
As Wang Guho spoke into the ear microphone, other team members followed him one by one.
“It’s finally starting.”
Min-jae, showing his white teeth, stood to the right of Wang Gu-ho and said,
Ukkii!
Kiyaaaaa!
Geum-o and Malang, who had recently been added to the team (Geum-o was riding on the giant Malang), stood to the left of Wang Gu-ho.
“”yes! “I understand!””
Team members with S-level talent, hand-picked by Daein, stood behind team leader Wang Gu-ho with a stoic attitude.
And hundreds of Korean superhumans began to follow suit.
Quick and easy.
The sight of Korean adepts walking in rows, led by Wang Gu-ho in the lead, was a spectacular sight.
‘It’s Team WH-7!’
‘The Korean Superhuman Association is taking the lead.’
‘That man is Mr. Wang…’
The place where Korean superhumans are located is the front line of the battlefield.
It was the point where the most Hell Gates were expected to open and the most monsters to pour out.
Soldiers and superhumans from various countries looked at them with eyes filled with awe and envy.
In particular, most eyes were focused on Wang Guho, who led the superhumans from the front.
‘A man who can single-handedly prevent a catastrophic situation.’
‘Humanity’s strongest wall.’
‘The world’s top 10 superhumans….’
If you ask who the strongest dealer is among the superhumans around the world, you will get several answers.
America’s strongest hero Hercules.
Liu Wei, a Chinese telekinetic person.
Baek Chang-su, Korea’s martial god.
In addition to these three, the question ‘Who is the best dealer?’ will have numerous candidates appearing, causing controversy.
However, when asked who the best tank is, nine out of ten people name one person.
The WH-7 team has traveled the world and performed numerous activities over the past seven months.
Their team leader.
Wang Guho, the strongest wall of mankind.
“Everyone, please wait a moment. “From here on, I will go alone.”
Wang Guhao walked alone and activated his characteristic.
Deukdeukdeuk!
His entire body was covered in golden light and began to swell enormously.
thud! thud! Coo…!
With each step, his body grew bigger and bigger.
5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters…
The golden giant, swollen like a castle, stopped only 100 meters away from the largest Hellgate in the lead.
“…….”
Bulging.
Bulging.
The cocoon was swelling wildly. Some were already slightly torn.
Beyond the gate covered by the film, the eyes of menacing beings were glaring in this direction.
Crrrrr….
Crrrrr….
Wang Guho saw and heard their eyes and voices before anyone else. He raised his entire body’s magical power.
At that time, Baek Chang-su’s voice was heard.
[It’s a relief. How are you feeling today?]
He asked calmly, but his voice was full of worry.
Wang Guhao made an effort to send a message in a bright voice.
[It’s absolutely good. I think I can fight for three days and nights.]
Baek Chang-su remained in the main camp.
He is a superman who likes to fight at the forefront more than anyone else, but he has a role to play, so he has not entered the field ‘yet’.
[If you kill them all by yourself, my share will be reduced, so do it in moderation. Got it?]
This means that if you think it might become dangerous, step back immediately.
Wang Guhao smiled and nodded.
[If you are late, there is no responsibility for the CEO.]
[The child… got it. See you later.]
Thousands of silkworm cocoons were hatching. The bulging membrane of the gate tore and monsters began to crawl out from within.
Cheeeeeeeeeek…!
It was a sight as if all hell had passed over. Indescribable monsters poured, slipped, and vomited out from thousands of holes.
Crrrrrrr….
Crrrrrrr….
As the demons and demons poured in, the desert turned dark red for an instant. They opened their mouths and drooled ravenously, like aliens born after tearing a human womb.
“Ugh….”
“Crazy….”
Even veteran superhumans with countless experiences were overwhelmed by the sight for a moment and their bodies froze.
It was at that time that Wang Guho began to walk again where he had stopped.
thud! thud! Coo!
With each step, the golden light emanating from his body became more intense.
That light irritated the nerves of the demons and demons that poured out of the gate.
“…Break the brunt of the enemy. “That’s my role.”
Wang Guho muttered, lifted his foot, and then rolled it down with all his might.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It wasn’t just a simple foot stomp. As I hit the ground with as much magical energy as I could, waves of magical energy spread across the desert sand.
The wave was enough to gather the enemy’s attention.
Wang Guhao roared with all his might at all the demons rushing towards him.
“come-!”
At the same time, the superhuman trait [Petrification] spread out from beneath his feet in all directions.
‘Similarization.’
Now, Wang Guho was able to use his characteristic [Petrification] on objects other than himself and manipulate them to his will.
For example,
“Sand Wall.”
After overlaying his abilities on the desert sand, he raises a wall of sand tens of meters taller than steel in front of the enemies running towards him, or
“Sand Spear.”
He could make sharp sand spears shoot out from the floor and impale numerous enemies.
Puff, puff, puff!
The demonic beasts that were running with all their might hit the wall, turning into blood clots, and the sand spears shooting out from below had holes in their bodies.
Suddenly, quicksand appeared in the middle of the desert, and the demon beasts that were running were sucked into it and struggled.
Most of the thousands of demonic beasts that came out to take the brunt of the enemy fell.
They were all works by Wang Guho.
“They say it’s humanity’s strongest wall….”
“It’s not that big of a wall.”
The superhumans looked at the scene created by humanity’s strongest wall with eyes full of awe.
The desert was a stage where humanity’s strongest wall could transform into the strongest spear.
However, Wang Guhao did not seem to feel their gaze. After taking a long, deep breath, I straightened my back.
“Whew. I barely stopped it.”
The man, who had single-handedly blocked the enemy’s brunt, wiped his forehead and muttered timidly.
And behind it,
“Attack-!”
The allied attack began with Minjae’s loud voice.
[Humanity’s Strongest Wall] End
