Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 274

—————————————

[ 3rd Hellgate (5) ]

[Imagination That’s it…]

Demon King Astaroth looked at the magnificent scenery unfolding on earth with an ecstatic expression.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

It was a battlefield filled with blood and screams.

The heavy drinking continues and flames rise ceaselessly. The torn pieces of human and monster flesh were mixed together, and the meat minced beyond recognition was making the ground even richer.

“Kill them all!”

“Kwaaaaaaah!”

The shouts and screams of the armies on both sides trying to kill each other sounded sweeter to Astaroth than a celestial orchestra.

[How beautiful this is.]

Astaroth continued to ‘view’ the battlefield with a blush on his cheeks.

The 29th ranked Demon King in the Demon World,

he was the commander-in-chief of the Demon King Army of the 3rd Hell Gate.

However, even after the Allied Forces increased their offensive and launched a major counterattack, the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon King’s Army, rather than giving any instructions, hid his presence and indulged in his own eccentric hobbies.

Avalokitesvara.

[The power this human uses is very similar to our power.]

Rumble!

After receiving the Divine Suit, I couldn’t help but admire the Cheonmugeuk that was not far behind even against the Demon King Storas.

[Those three are no better. They move as if they are one…]

My eyes sparkled as I watched the Three Worlds fighting hard against Malphas, and

[Ahh! You have interesting abilities!]

Baek Chang-su. Wang Guho.

In addition, he licked his lips while looking at the race of superhuman knights and wizards who were fighting against demon lords with their special personalities.

[Haaa….]

His breathing became hot, as if his excitement had not subsided.

[I want it all.]

Astaroth had another hobby besides voyeurism.

Collect the souls of creatures you like.

It was difficult to find a being that suited the Demon King’s exacting tastes, but there were at least five souls he wanted here.

[There are so many beautiful, strong, and sublime jewels!]

The body of the Demon King, who was famous for being the most beautiful in the Demon World – and for being obsessed with beauty – was littered with jewels.

If you look closely at the jewels, you can see the souls trapped inside the jewels screaming.

[It’s a good thing you came here.]

As Astaroth looked at several souls with sticky eyes, the demon kings who were fighting the allied forces on the ground conveyed their will to him.

[Astaroth! How long are you going to just watch!]

[You haven’t forgotten Baal’s instructions, have

you?] [Do what you must!]

Those who would normally have been so absorbed in the slaughter that they didn’t even care, now panicked and urged Astaroth. .

[Tsk tsk….]

The demon kings were so embarrassed.

They lost their leisure when the humans they were fighting with suddenly became stronger and their inherent powers no longer worked.

[Quaaaagh! Insignificant things!]

[I will chew and swallow them all!]

-Kwakwakwakkwak!

-Bubbubbung!

The angry demon kings exploded their power in all directions, but the situation of the war did not suddenly change.

The Dimensional Allied Forces prepared thoroughly.

They analyzed the strengths, weaknesses, and battle patterns of all demon kings and conducted numerous simulation battles.

In addition, he prepared magic spells and divine power spells that would weaken the power of the demon kings and covered them like a net.

No matter how powerful the Demon Lords were to destroy mountains and tear up the sky, the strength of the thoroughly prepared Allied Forces was no less powerful.

As a result,

[[[Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]]]

The demon kings were met with resistance beyond imagination and were roaring with a mixture of pain and anger. Little by little, the wounds grew on their mighty bodies.

Astaroth was the only one watching the entire battlefield from high in the sky, oblivious to his presence.

‘This must have all happened thanks to the prophet’s abilities.’

As other demon lords crossed the gate, Astaroth hid his presence among them and crossed the gate together.

In fact, he had an important role to play.

[Prophet] Find the landlord and kill him.

[Prophet. Where are you hiding?…]

He spread his [eyes] all over the world and was looking for the great man.

As soon as the war began, all the [Eyes] that were watching the great people disappeared.

Since then, no trace of Daein has been found.

‘Is he still hiding in the Demon King’s Castle? No, it may be safe right now, but the location is too exposed. If it were me, it would be better…’

Astaroth enjoyed this game of hide and seek.

Tracking is his specialty.

The devils called him ‘the devil of obsession and desire’.

If you are in this world, no matter where you are, you will not be able to avoid his eyes.

[[[Astaroth!!]]]

Astaroth clicked his tongue when the demon kings urged him to hurry.

[Tsk tsk. It seems like they don’t know how to enjoy a dinner party… I found it now.]

Smirking.

A smile appeared on Astaroth’s lips.

[It was in that kind of place.]

And then

, slowly…

Astaroth’s appearance melted like snow and disappeared.

***

The place where Astaroth reappeared was on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific.

Jump and jump.

Astaroth walked, leaving footprints on the sand.

“…I finally found it.”

On the other side, the Great Man was looking at the Demon King with a stern expression. Astaroth had a smile on his face.

[Seeing as you aren’t that surprised, I guess you saw the future I was coming to. But why didn’t you run away?]

“There is a future that can never be avoided.”

The great man said with a grin. Astaroth smiled as if he liked the answer.

[I see. So what do you see after this? Could it be…]

Clap, clap, clap.

At that time, the countless jewels on the Demon King’s body began to shake violently.

The souls trapped inside were warning Daein.

‘Run away quickly!’

‘If you get caught, you’ll end up like us!’

‘Rather destroy us!’

Cheeeeeek….

The corners of Astaroth’s mouth, which was grinning, began to tear on both sides. At the same time, her angelic beauty began to change.

[Have you seen something like this?]

Udduk…!

As his size increased rapidly, his upper body bent forward and his skin, which had been like a stone, cracked apart.

As the dark red flesh was exposed, yellow pus was dripping from the boil that had formed.

A terrible stench emanated from my entire body.

[Whoa…!]

Boom!

Astaroth, transformed into a monster, took a step forward.

[Let me tell you one thing, so far, there are only three beings who have seen my true face and survived.]

The demon king who is the most obsessed with beauty in the demon world.

Astaroth’s true form was a horribly disgusting monster.

[Prophet Landlord. I know what you did to protect this world. The amazing history, the noble spirit of sacrifice… These are the things I like.]

“Hmm. “The devil is not my type.”

The great man folded his arms and furrowed his brows.

Astaroth liked that relaxed look more.

licking.

The Demon King licked his lips with his tongue and walked towards the great man. The two red, bloodshot eyes were shining with the desire to collect.

[I would like to talk more, but the situation is not good. I will kill you and take your soul. There will be plenty of time to enjoy it…]

A meaningful smile formed on the Daein’s lips.

“Do you really think so?”

He was definitely a great person. His appearance, his voice, and even his smallest actions were all great.

But something was different.

[You…]

Astaroth felt something strange.

Was it something like that originally?

A guy with cold eyes like that, no aura at all, and who looks much weaker than I thought?

As my excitement subsided, I noticed something strange.

[…What kind of trick did you pull?]

“Well. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

The ‘great man’ grinned.

Astaroth decided not to have any more useless conversations.

If we catch them, take out their souls, and torture them, we can easily find out.

Whick!

Astaroth’s extended hand aimed at Daein.

At that moment, Daein used [Teleportation] to avoid the attack.

-Paaah!

[Did he have that ability?]

The Demon King looked at the empty hand holding the air. Then I turned my head and looked at the place where the other person reappeared.

A few hundred meters at most.

It is a distance that can be narrowed in one breath if you put your mind to it.

[Do you think such a trick would work on me!]

Demonic energy exploded from Astaroth’s body as he fiercely exposed his teeth.

Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Magi spreads across the island in an instant.

Genji’s heart felt like it would burst from the enormous pressure.

‘This is the power of the devil…!’

It was a mistake to think that the [Doppelganger] ability and [Teleportation] would buy a few more minutes.

It seemed like it would be torn to pieces by the devil’s hands at any moment.

But fortunately, Genji had already succeeded in buying enough time.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The flames flying from the other side of the Demon King blocked the demon energy.

Cheeeeeek…!

The demonic energy and flames clashed fiercely, gnawing at each other. Neither side backed down easily.

[You…!!]

Astaroth looked at the being flying from beyond the flames with a puzzled expression.

The moment I saw the red hair, I was startled, but I was relieved to see that the other person was much shorter than the woman I had seen in Cairo not long ago.

Rather, a smile appeared on the Demon King’s lips.

[It’s a little child of fire. You are also one of the gems I have set my sights on…]

“I’m annoyed.”

[…What?]

Lily’s cheeks looked swollen. The girl’s eyes glowed fiercely as she glared at the demon lord in front of her.

“I have to protect you. “Stay here and help people… If you do it so rudely, I won’t be able to follow you!”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

As if her dissatisfaction had built up, a huge number of fireworks appeared around the girl.

“What are you going to do if you go alone and end up in danger? “What if I get hurt?”

[Suddenly a noise…]

A red-shaped armor was placed on the body of a girl who was pouring out her anger at an unknown opponent.

Sigh!

A red pattern spread along the grain of the yellow dress she was wearing. The two colors mixed together to create a unique shape.

A divine suit exclusively for Lily.

Phoenix

[…!!]

The Demon King could not keep his mouth shut as he looked at the girl radiating incredible power.

“This is it!”

Daein also didn’t know what kind of demon lord would come to kill ‘himself who was left behind as bait’.

So we were unable to prepare a customized vessel.

Instead, the Allied forces’ final weapon was placed on standby here.

This is a girl who learns the skills left behind by her future self for a month and is equipped with the most powerful weapon equipped with future technology.

“This is all because of you guys!”

The moment Lily shouted, a power that far exceeded the Demon Lord’s expectations exploded from the girl’s entire body.

Fuwaaaaaaaaaa!

“You bastard!”

Lily began to take out her anger on the Demon King.

***

“U-Each!”

Daein sniffled due to an unexpected sneeze.

He tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.

Sneezing all of a sudden.

“Is anyone going to curse at me?”

The great man wiped under his nose and then wiped it on the clothes of the man lying in front of him.

“Ugh…”

The man looked up at the great man with eyes full of fear.

This was a place where outsiders could never enter.

The heart of the organization.

However, this man in front of me suddenly appeared and knocked down all the gang members except himself.

And what I mean is,

“Hey. I don’t have a lot of time, do I? So let’s end it easily and amicably.”

If that’s the case, why don’t you lose from the beginning!

The great man yanked the collar of the fallen man. His eyes shone coldly.

“I have something to give you. “It’s Armaan’s jewel.”

The final jewel needed to end the war against the demon world.

And it was an item that had to be used ‘directly’ by a person.

“So, can you guide me to where your leader is?”

Daein was currently robbing the Pandemonium headquarters.
