Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 278

—————————————

[ Pandemonium (4) ]

Daein is the same The moment he was about to break the boy’s neck, his body was engulfed in light and disappeared.

Faaah!

The boy reappeared dozens of meters away, caressing his neck and muttering.

[…Why doesn’t mind control work?]

The boy looked like he couldn’t understand this situation.

The attribute of Arman’s jewel is [Spirit].

Soul Eaters were a race that could draw 100% of the power of this jewel.

However, that power had no effect on Daein at all.

Slurp.

The great man pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword from subspace.

“Are you curious why your abilities don’t work on me?”

[…can not understand. Unless they are divine beings, there is no being that can defy my control within this inherent barrier.]

Soul Eaters are beings that grow by eating ‘souls’.

Not only does it eat, but it also has the ability to control souls, read their memories, and ‘distort’ them into any desired form.

In addition, the power of [Arman’s Jewel] was added to the inherent barrier spread within the sanctuary.

A power that would make even a decent demon lord fall to his knees without being able to resist.

But how can humans…

“Are you curious? Why doesn’t your ability work on me? “That is…”

[…….]

The great man lowered his voice as if he were about to tell a great secret.

The moment Soul Eater unconsciously listened,

“…Would you tell me if it were you, you stupid bastard!”

The great man kicked the floor and rushed like a thunderbolt. A purple trail aimed at the boy’s neck.

Whick!

However, the attack split the air. Soul Eater, who had teleported to a high place in the sky, looked down at Daein and his expression distorted.

[You’re using a childish tactic.]

“I think you’re very angry at that childish tactic?”

Grinning, Daein activated the Heavenly Demon God’s Armor and soared the new form into the sky.

Wow!

Wings grew from his back and he flapped them upwards with all his might.

In an instant, the two became at the same level.

The great man raised his Heavenly Demon Sword and aimed it at the crown the boy was wearing.

“God likes it. “On the subject of parasites that suck out other people’s souls.”

Then the boy’s face distorted grotesquely and a fierce smile appeared on it.

[Do you think I’m doing this because I can’t subdue you with force?]

The reason I chose mental control was because I didn’t want to hurt the precious body that would eventually become my own, not because I didn’t have the ability.

Soul Eater decided to impress upon Daein that obvious fact.

[Even if it’s a little broken, I’ll fix it and use it.]

At the same time as those words were said, two types of power exploded from the Soul Eater’s body at the same time.

-Rarrrrrrrrrrrr!

-Paaaaaaa!

A seething darkness flowed from the boy’s left hand, and dazzling divine power flowed from his right hand.

The darkness and light that started from both hands went up the boy’s body and took over exactly half of it.

It’s so crazy…!

The magical energy and divine power, which can be said to be opposites, flowed simultaneously in one body, but could not mix and continued to collide.

In the aftermath, the boy’s body began to break down little by little.

However, as if he didn’t care at all about that fact, the boy flew towards the great man, shooting out both light and darkness from his eyes at the same time.

[Look carefully! The power of a true god!]

-Kwakwakwakwauk!

With a huge explosion, the great man’s body was thrown hundreds of meters away.

The great man, who barely stopped in midair, stiffened his expression and muttered.

“This… was a bit beyond what I expected.”

Daein predicted Soul Eater’s abilities based on information provided by future Lily.

However, the power shown by Soul Eater now was far beyond Daein’s predictions.

[The mouth that was talking has finally quieted down.]

“……”

Soul Eater, who noticed that Daein was nervous, laughed happily.

Chewy profit.

The mouth of the being who could no longer be called a boy was torn apart longer and longer from side to side.

[Although it is already too late to regret.]

A great sword made of light and darkness was held in each hand, one by one.

Daein also did not let down his guard and opened the sub-space and took out Shalit and the Changcheon God Sword. It was decided that it would be difficult to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sword alone.

The great man muttered softly.

“Split Sword.”

The two swords that appeared in the air split into hundreds of swords. Hundreds of swords were fired at Soul Eater’s entire body.

Each and every attack was powerful.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Light and darkness exploded in a radius of several kilometers.

Soul Eater’s power to handle two abilities at the same time was incredible. Even the sword rain poured down by Daein could not pierce that defense shield.

However, Soul Eater’s attack could not easily inflict effective damage on Daein.

Daein’s martial arts skills were already one of the best in martial arts, and

that wasn’t all he had.

“Activate the Star of Transcendence.”

[The Star of Transcendence is activated (level 2).]

[Various functions are provided for the user’s convenience.]

[The use of some functions is still restricted.]

[To use all functions, the user’s level must be raised. .]

The moment the Star of Transcendence was activated, Daein took out a jewelry box from subspace.

A jewel box that stores the ‘Gems of God’ found while traveling through various dimensions.

The great man took out the [Holy Ice] from inside and placed it on the chest of the armor.

“Holy ice. mounting.”

[Check item grade. Use is approved.]

[The options of ‘Holy Ice’ are added to the Star of Transcendence.]

[Warning! It may be hard on the user’s body. [It is recommended to use it within a short period of time.]

The pure white line that started from the jewel embedded in the chest spread throughout the entire armor like veins.

Damn it!

A pattern resembling ice crystals was instantly added onto the pitch-black Heavenly Demon Goddess.

“Whew…”

After a while, the great man appeared wearing armor that was a strange mixture of darkness and light.

Ironically, its appearance had an uncanny resemblance to that of Soul Eater.

“Hey space parasite. “Let’s get along properly.”

[…I guess I don’t need that mouth.]

They rushed at each other without even knowing who would go first.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

In the aftermath of the collision, the interior of the barrier began to break apart.

Daein’s attack, which borrowed the power of [Holy Ice], was imbued with a terrifying coldness. Every time the river swirled, the surrounding air froze.

As if responding to that, the darkness and light emanating from the Soul Eater’s body became increasingly stronger.

Fiercely, as if burning life itself as fuel.

The collision and destruction that continued like a natural disaster stopped when all the fuel was used up.

Phew.

“…….”

The boy looked down blankly at the sword stuck deep in his chest.

As the blood drained from the body, the demonic energy and divine power that was seething throughout the body also drained out.

And Soul Eater also left.

“Ah…”

The boy finally came to his senses.

At the same time, forgotten memories came pouring in all at once.

Scenes from my childhood when I don’t even remember how old I was.

A festival I went to see with my mom and dad.

The boy was lost and crying.

A hand extended by a stranger who said he would help me find my parents.

‘no! ‘Don’t hold that hand!’

The place we arrived at while holding that hand.

Friends of similar age met in an unknown cave.

The nights I cried all night long and desperately looked for my mom.

Friends disappearing one by one.

The ceiling seen from lying on the operating table.

The joyful voices of the adults who were looking down at them there.

‘It’s a success! They succeeded in transplanting a devil’s heart and an angel’s heart into one body!’

‘This guy will be able to handle the powers of demons and angels at the same time in the future.’

‘But you won’t live long because of the side effects.’

‘If only the side effects could be eliminated, it would be as much of a monster as the Fire Child…’

‘In the end, it is a failure.’

The boy was one of the vessels created for Soul Eater.

One of many lilies.

The difference is that Lily was saved and the boy was not.

“…….”

Only then did the boy raise his head and look up at the man who stabbed his heart.

The great man with his helmet down had a gloomy expression on his face.

The boy forced a smile at him.

“mister. Thank you.”

Thank you for ending this pain.

The great man nodded silently.

“okay. Good job.”

Pusssss….

The boy turned into dust and scattered.

[What a pitiful sight.]

The great man raised his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

A spirit body that looked like a huge dark cloud was writhing ominously in the sky.

[Arman’s Jewel] was shining in the center.

This is the main body of Soul Eater.

[If you had obediently given up your body, that child could have lived a little longer.]

The great man did not bother to respond to that absurd sophistry.

Sigh.

Just quietly raise your sword and aim at the guy.

Now that we’ve succeeded in pulling out the main body, it’s time to finish him off.

“Let’s stop joking around. “I don’t feel like that anymore.”

The moment Daein, who exuded a cool and deadly spirit, decided to soar the new model into the sky,

[I’m sorry. Did you think that this would be the end of welcoming guests?]

“What? No way…”

After a while, the great man’s face was cruelly distorted. New signs began to appear within his sensitive senses.

Jump and jump.

The footsteps were not loud. It was small.

The sound was not intentionally muffled, but the sound itself was small and light.

“This is crazy…”

The great man gritted his teeth as he looked at the approaching enemies surrounding him.

The number is five.

They were all children who appeared to be around the same age as the boy who had just died.

[This is a masterpiece created by each and every one of my apostles.]

A voice full of pride.

The Soul Eaters in the sky had already dispersed.

Instead, the boys and girls walking around surrounding Daein opened their mouths at the same time.

““They all have different abilities, and although they are not as good as the Fire Child, their potential is quite high.””

Flames flew from one boy’s hand, and blue sparks flew from one girl’s body. The other boy had skin made of sand and there was a girl flying with her body floating in the air.

The same sneer appeared on the children’s lips.

““Although they are all failures with flaws, they can all be said to be brothers of the Fire Child.” “

……”

The Great Man looked at the boys and girls one by one, narrowing the siege from all directions.

Soon his eyes were fixed on a girl.

Jeok Jeok Jeok Jeok-.

A girl walks, leaving frost on the floor with each step of her white bare feet.

“…….”

The hair was bleached from blue to almost white, and the eyes were empty and empty. His body is pitifully thin.

‘That kid…’

Wendy. Lily’s dearest friend.

The face I saw in the materials Lily from the future gave me was there.

-mister. If you meet Wendy… kill her. That girl already…

Daein recalled what future Lily had written in the letter.

I knew those words couldn’t be sincere.

‘I wanted to save that kid and take him back…’

The great man sighed softly and looked at Wendy.

Judging by Wendy’s appearance here, it seems that Philip has failed after all.

‘Now I have no choice but to kill him.’

If the Soul Eater has already entered the body, there is no choice but to kill it.

Because it’s almost impossible to force it out of the body.

‘kid. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can do anything more than this.’

It was time for the great man who had made up his mind to straighten his sword.

Something sparkling caught Daein’s attention.

‘That’s…’

““I’ll give you one last chance to surrender. If you surrender, these five children won’t die.””

I could no longer hear the bullshit that Soul Eater was talking about.

A bitter smile appeared on the great man’s lips.

“…It wasn’t a complete failure.”

Around Wendy’s neck was a necklace that the master had given to Philip.

And Soul Eater hasn’t noticed that fact yet.
