Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 286
—————————————
[ Red Dragon of the Apocalypse (4) ]
Red Meteor It fell exactly towards the place where the demon kings were gathered.
[Block it!]
There was no time to escape. In a split second, the demon kings simultaneously raised their magic power and formed a hemispherical shield at the top.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The shock wave generated in the aftermath of the collision changed the weather. The dark clouds dispersed and the heavy rain evaporated. The sun, which had been buried in clouds, emerged and a ray of light illuminated the ground.
The light, like a spotlight on a theater stage, made the red presence that hit the demon lords’ defense stand out even more.
[Dragon…?]
[Only a dragon has this kind of power?]
The demon kings looked at the dragon floating in the sky with astonished faces.
The huge dragon lowered its head and looked down at the ground.
The long neck, tail, and six wings looked like cracks in the sky. It had 10 horns on its head like a crown, and its huge body was full of old scars.
The red dragon opened its mouth and roared.
Geaaaaaa!
The red dragon of the apocalypse.
A monster who single-handedly destroyed the world he lived in. A dragon that became half-mad after being covered in the blood of countless lives, including its own kind.
The catastrophe vented its anger towards the demon kings.
-Where is he?
The red dragon asked in a loud voice that shook the heavens and the earth.
-That guy who dared to wake me from my sleep! Where is he?
However, the demon kings failed to take advantage of the last opportunity given by the red dragon.
[Where on earth did such a monster come from?]
[It’s enormous…]
[Hmph. Well, you’re still a little lizard.] As
the demon kings lashed out instead of answering, the red dragon also stopped asking questions.
In the end, it’s just a matter of being quick or late, and all living things in this world will disappear.
Geaaaaaa-!
With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, red flames poured out from the red dragon’s mouth.
The demon kings gathered their strength to block the breath and prepared a counterattack.
At that moment, the first to sense that something was strange was Astaroth.
[for a moment. The Allied Forces…]
The elites of the Allied Forces that we had been fighting just now. Those who had momentarily forgotten about the presence of the red dragon…
[The Allied Forces are running away!]
[What?]
[What are you talking about!]
The other Demon Lords turned their heads at Astaroth’s shout. Soon their eyes turned to the same place.
“Hurry up and get in!”
The elites of the Allied forces were disappearing beyond the gate. When the demon kings were startled by the appearance of the red dragon and hurriedly put up a defense shield, they opened the escape gate.
“I can’t last long because of the magic around me! hurry!”
Kurodama God’s urgent voice was heard from beyond the gate.
While people were crossing the gate, Cheon Mu-geuk and Lily Lee stood in front.
[dare! Do you think I will let you escape!]
The angry demon kings poured out their attacks. However, they were all blocked by Cheonmugeuk’s sword and Lily’s flames.
Even that attack didn’t last long.
-Roaring!
Magical power swirled around the red dragon, and magic similar to a natural disaster began pouring down on the demon kings.
[Kaaaaaaaa!]
[It’s a trap from the beginning…!]
[I’ll kill you!]
Lily stuck out her tongue at the demon lords who were frantically blocking the attacks coming from above and shouting.
“stupid guys! “It’s melong!”
“Cluck. “Let’s take shelter for now.”
And even the figures of Lily and Cheonmugeuk disappeared beyond the gate.
Immediately, the gate was completely closed and the huge shadow of the red dragon fell upon the demon kings.
***
Canadian Air Force Headquarters.
Jiiiing!
The gate opened and people wearing divine suits poured out. Everyone flopped down on the floor.
“Whoa…”
“If it had been just a little bit late…”
“We would have all been caught up in it too.”
They were the elites of the Allied Forces who had just been engaged in a bloody battle with the Demon Lords. As if to prove how difficult the fight was, there was not a single person whose Divine Suit was intact.
“What about Lily?”
Kuromada, who was guarding the front of the gate, asked with a pale expression.
The Poisonous Blood Demon Emperor, the great leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, answered.
“The incarnation of Mazda remained until the end with Lord Taesang. He will be there soon…”
They looked at the gate with worried eyes. Fortunately, after a while, Lily and Cheon Mu-geuk walked out of the gate together.
“Mister?!”
As soon as Lily came out of the gate, she looked around and looked for Daein.
Soon, I found a giant tree stretching out in a large shape not far away.
It looked quite rough, scorched by fire here and there and exhausted.
“mister-!”
Lily flew straight towards Daein.
At that time, an ice wall suddenly appeared, blocking Lily’s path.
Damn it!
The moment Lily stopped, startled by the sudden attack, she shouted,
“Don’t come!”
Lily’s eyes widened when she saw the girl blocking her path.
She looked much thinner and frightened than the last time I remembered her, but
it was clearly Wendy.
“…….”
Lily walked slowly towards Wendy. I heard that he saved Wendy through Joo Sang-wook, but when I saw him in person, a lot of emotions came over me.
Before she knew it, Lily’s eyes were filled with tears.
“…I’m sorry, I’m sorry. “I should have gone to save you, but I thought you were dead at that time…”
But Wendy just glared at Lily with a cold gaze.
Wendy blocked the person’s path and spread her arms wide.
“Don’t come close to Dad!”
“…uh?”
Lily stopped in place with a blank expression. And then I looked at Wendy and then at the large man stretched out behind him.
“The person there is your uncle, not your father?”
“no! “It’s my dad!”
“It’s not… It’s the old man…”
People glanced at the strange confrontation between the two girls.
It was then that the great man, who had been lying down as if dead, raised his upper body.
“Hi. “It’s already so hard that I’m dying… Why are you guys fighting after seeing each other for so long?”
A tired voice.
The great man’s face was covered in soot here and there, and his Heavenly Demon Goddess was broken here and there.
This clearly showed how difficult it was to lure the red dragon.
“dad!”
Wendy ran to Daein and was held in his arms.
The man roughly stroked the girl’s head.
“dad. Doesn’t it hurt anymore?”
“uh. “I survived thanks to you creating a protective shield with ice earlier.”
“lol.”
Wendy’s face brightened after receiving the compliment. Lily blinked her big eyes and stared blankly at that innocent face.
“uh…?”
The man who saw this scratched his cheek as if he was troubled.
“I thought I would recognize you right away when I met you. “I guess this won’t work.”
“mister! “Why Wendy…”
The great man sent a message to Lily.
[As Malo said he lost his memory. And I heard you regressed to childhood. To put it simply, I was so shocked that I went back to when I was about four or five years old.]
It was only after Dain’s explanation that Lily was able to roughly understand the situation.
That doesn’t mean I can understand it, though.
“dad. “Who is he?”
Wendy clung to the person and glared at Lily with a wary expression.
“He is… your friend.”
“friend? “I don’t have any friends.”
He answered with a sullen expression, as if he couldn’t remember anything about Lily. The great man looked embarrassed and spoke again.
“Then sister?”
“…sister?”
Wendy tilted her head when she heard the word ‘older sister’.
Unlike before, Lily was a little taller than Wendy, and unlike Wendy, who was skinny, Lily’s cheeks were chubby enough to look good.
“okay. Let’s be older and younger for a while. “How are you, little one?”
“uh? “Ugh…”
Lily nodded absentmindedly. Wendy narrowed her eyes and looked at that figure, then nodded as if she understood.
“okay. “Do it, sister.”
The caution on Wendy’s face also eased a little. The girl tilted her head as she kept glancing at Lily.
‘He looks like he can’t remember anything.’
The great man sent a message to Lily.
[Wait a little longer. They said that the memories may gradually come back as time goes by.]
[…Yes.]
Lily didn’t know how to express this complicated feeling.
It’s really nice to see Wendy again, but I’m also sad that she doesn’t remember me, and I feel weird seeing her call her dad… [Take care of her from now on
. You can do it, right?]
[…Yes! Of course!]
Lily nodded eagerly. Daein also told Wendy that the two of them should remain close friends. Wendy glanced at Lily and nodded slowly.
“You two are playing together for a moment. “I think I need to have a meeting with the adults.”
Daein took care to keep the girls together.
Daein headed to the conference room with the Allied Forces executives, and Lily took Wendy to her room.
As if she had lost her guard, Wendy spoke to Lily with curiosity.
“But what is your name?”
“I’m Lily.”
“Lily?”
Wendy tilted her head and pronounced ‘Lily’ a few times before smiling brightly.
“It’s a pretty name. “I’m Wendy.”
At that moment, Lily hugged Wendy tightly and said,
“huh. know. “I know very well.”
Wendy struggled for a moment, feeling frustrated, but after a while, she closed her eyes as she was held tightly in Lily’s warm arms.
“I’m sleepy….”
Quietly.
Wendy must have been so tired that she fell asleep before she knew it.
Lily looked at his face.
Even if he couldn’t remember himself at all, it didn’t change the fact that Wendy was his most precious friend.
“I will protect you now.”
Lily made a firm determination.
***
“How’s the situation?”
Joo Sang-wook answered the great question.
“We are evacuating using the escape gate prepared in advance. Currently, more than 80% of the troops have been evacuated, and the evacuation of all troops is expected to be completed within 10 minutes.”
The battlefield was visible on the huge screen in the conference room.
The dimensional allied forces were retreating in perfect order, blocking the demonic army. At the end, hundreds of escape gates were prepared.
Gates were connected to other cities. Troops evacuated from the Quebec area were soon scheduled to disperse to other operational areas.
Although the Quebec region was the most serious, it was not the only place where the Hell Gate opened and the Demon King descended.
“Thanks to this, I think other regions will have some breathing room. And if the red dragon and the demon lords help each other as planned…”
The eyes of everyone gathered in the conference room turned to the center of the screen.
The red dragon and the five demon kings were clashing.
While everyone watched the scene in silence, someone muttered something to themselves.
“…I feel like I’m watching the world being destroyed in real time.”
The world was literally falling apart.
-Kwakwakwauk!
The red dragon’s tail twitched the mountain and the fire that poured from its mouth turned the ground into ashes.
The ground turned over, cracked, and collapsed.
-Gaaaaaa!
Every time the red dragon roared, lightning struck, an earthquake occurred, and heavy rain poured down as if a hole had been opened in the sky, turning the entire area into a sea of water.
The demon kings who opposed him surrounded the red dragon, spewing out magical energy and wielding the power of hell to their heart’s content.
– Quad deuk!
The red dragon’s scales were torn off and blood flowed
– POOOO!
In return, the Demon King, who had been hit by the red dragon’s tail, flew dozens of kilometers and crashed to the ground.
-Jjiik!
The red dragon with its wings torn lost its balance in the air and
clattered!
The demon king caught by those paws cried out in pain as his whole body crumbled.
“Gulp…”
The red dragon and the demon kings fought like beasts of the apocalypse. People could not take their eyes off the terrifying yet cruel fight.
Because they will soon have to fight the winner of that fight.
“I can’t believe we were trying to fight those guys…”
“It’s a miracle he’s still alive.”
“Who will win?”
Most of the people present trembled with fear.
They hoped that both sides would fight so desperately that even if one side won, they would end up with as many serious injuries as possible.
But everywhere there was bound to be at least one person who thought differently from others.
“But we don’t have to just watch, right?”
Everyone’s eyes turned towards the direction from which the voice came.
The great man was staring at the screen, his eyes shining, like a child planning a mischievous prank.
“I think I just need a little help.”
