Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 359
—————————————
[ (Side story) Long time no see, mister]
– Dududu The number of troops coming in, raising clouds of dust, seemed to be at least several thousand
.
The great man looked at the enemies who suddenly appeared with a bewildered expression.
“What are they again?”
Because of this, the three women who were scavenging and destroying the primeval forest also stopped fighting.
“for a moment! Do you see that?”
“It looks like it appeared from inside the forest…”
“Shall we make a truce for now?”
Today, the three people came determined to take over the landlord, but they still had enough reason to distinguish between the right and the wrong in the face of a common enemy.
The three women, who quickly agreed to a truce, went back to their respective cheering groups – they could not get involved in the fight and were only cheering – and shouted.
“It’s an enemy attack! Kingdom army! Ready for battle!”
“Geomhwangmun spread out his camp!”
Alina and Nam Gung-hyeon each led their troops and stepped forward.
“Team leader Guho, please support the Kingdom Army, and Deputy Team Leader Minjae, please support the Geomhwangmun side.”
Baek Young-hee placed Wang Gu-ho and Min-jae in both camps and immediately approached Dae-in.
she asked with a stern expression.
“Vice President, do you know the identity of the enemy?”
“well. “I can’t even guess what they are doing.”
Daein scratched his chin with his finger and looked at his allies who were forming their own formation.
‘It’s easy now that I can take care of it on my own.’
Even though he was not invited, they were the best in each world and their movements were smooth even in sudden situations.
The great man turned his head again and looked at the enemy.
“I don’t know why they’re suddenly attacking us, but…”
The number of enemies approaching is roughly in the thousands.
On the other hand, our troops number at most a few hundred.
The difference in troop strength was close to 10 times.
However, no one here showed a nervous expression.
Daein shrugged his shoulders and said to Baek Younghee.
“Let’s just beat him up and talk about it. “I think they’ve lost their taste a little.”
“You mean suppression, not annihilation, right?”
“If possible.”
Daein nodded, and Baek Younghee passed the order to the entire team on his behalf.
“Notify all races belonging to the Dimensional Hub Alliance at your current location. “Threats have been detected from races and groups not currently registered with the Federation.”
Her voice, full of magical power, was clearly transmitted to all allies.
“Therefore, as of now, I will take over overall command of all troops.”
There were no complaints.
Baek Young-hee was the actual manager of WH Group and achieved outstanding results while managing Dimensional Hub over the past few years.
The great man looked at her profile and smiled happily.
‘Oh, it’s comfortable.’
He was a great man who worked hard and felt rewarded for his retirement.
Baek Young-hee stamped her foot as she looked at the enemies in front of her, probably not feeling the gaze.
-thud!
“From now on, we will carry out a suppression operation against an unidentified enemy!”
A moment later, the Dimensional Hub Allied Forces in formation collided with the enemy’s lead.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The battle was so one-sided that it was boring.
The gigantic King Guho and the demonized Minjae crushed the enemy’s leading troops, and the most elite troops from Wulin and Gaia spread out like wings to the left and right.
The elites of the two worlds secretly ignited a sense of competition.
“Don’t be pushed around by those martial arts guys!”
“Definitely defeat more Gaia guys!”
As a result, a true scene unfolded where hundreds of troops surrounded and overwhelmed thousands of troops.
“Hwiyu.”
The great man crossed the battlefield whistling.
There was no need for him to get involved in the battle since they fought well on their own.
However, doubts inevitably arose about the identity of the enemies who suddenly appeared.
‘Not all of them are normal. ‘It’s all a sight to behold.’
“Aaaah!”
The attack of one of the enemy soldiers who was swinging his sword at random happened to be aimed at Daein.
-Whisk!
Daein is now in a state of [stealth].
To detect his hiding and attack him was possible only if he had at least the senses of a devil lord.
-Cow!
After breaking the enemy’s sword, the great man grabbed the opponent’s wrist, pulled him close, and looked into his eyes.
“hey. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Geugeukgeuk….”
Red-stained eyes and foam flowing from the mouth.
The man, who had lost his mind, twisted his whole body and muttered.
“Exterminate the enemy… You are… warriors who serve Him…”
Deep wrinkles appeared between the great man’s eyebrows.
“Him? Warrior? “Have you come out to preach from some kind of pseudo-religion?”
“Geugeukgeuk….”
The man twisted his whole body without answering.
Deciding that it would be difficult to hear any more answers, Daein stunned the opponent and threw him far away.
“It would be a little different for someone at the executive level.”
The great man turned his head and looked at the center of the battlefield.
There, a man who spewed fire with his mouth, summoned lightning with his hands, and had his entire body covered in reptilian scales was leading the enemy army.
“Flame thunderbolts and the ability to transform?”
It’s not that there are no multi-talented people in the world.
Right now, Daein himself was a multi-talented person with two characteristics, and although there were very few, there were also multi-talented people with three or more characteristics.
However, the appearance of that reptile is extremely unnatural.
The flow of magical energy flowing from within the body was threatening to explode at any moment.
‘And it’s not just that guy…’
Similar magical powers were felt all over the battlefield.
Unsettling magical power, as if two or more incompatible powers were forced into the body.
‘I think I saw something similar a while ago… Ah!’
Daein recalled the face of the boy he had a conversation with not long ago.
Ahn Jun.
A boy with two characteristics: [Demon Voice] and [Demon Eyes].
However, only [Demon Voice] was recorded in the boy’s old profile.
That is, until the second characteristic, [Mystic Eyes], is revealed during the WHA entrance exam.
‘It’s similar to when I first saw him. The guys here are more anxious, but… then?’
The moment his thoughts reached that point, the name of an organization came out of the man’s mouth.
“Red Finger.”
-Whisk!
The great man hit the ground and crossed the battlefield in an instant.
He arrived in front of the enemy commander at once and asked.
“Are you guys called Redfinger?”
“omg!”
The enemy commander, startled, swung his arm towards Daein. Claws as sharp as shark teeth tore through the air and aimed at the great man’s face.
The results were disastrous.
– Quad deuk!
“Kwaaaak!”
The Red Finger executive, whose arm was twisted in the opposite direction, screamed.
He shot out flames and summoned lightning to attack the great man.
But none of the attacks worked.
Rather, the more I resisted, the more my bones broke apart.
After a while, Daein kicked him as he lay on the floor and asked,
“Are you guys Redfinger?”
“Kaaaaaa! You sneaky bastards! “Didn’t they attack you knowing everything?”
“…What are you talking about? So you’re saying that’s correct? “You acknowledged it, right?”
At that moment, a malicious light appeared in the executive’s eyes.
-Puhuaaaaaaa!
The three types of magic in his body became entangled and began to run wild. My body swelled like a balloon and turned red.
“Kkeuk… I’m going to die like this!”
At those words, the great man clicked his tongue.
“Anyway, these villains have no personality. Do you think I see a guy like you once or twice? “There’s no way, you bastard.”
With a cold answer, the great man used his [Energy Manipulation] trait to suck out the magic power from the executive’s body.
At the same time, he pointed out the demon blood with a divination point to prevent the opponent from doing anything foolish.
“!!”
The executive, who had become as stiff as a mannequin, could not even open his mouth and just rolled his eyes and looked up at the person in charge.
Those eyes were full of fear and astonishment.
“Do you think you have a lot to talk about with me from now on?”
The great man rolled up his sleeves and grinned.
***
Baek Young-hee looked around and said.
“I think it’s roughly sorted out.”
The battle ended in less than an hour.
There were no casualties on the Allied forces.
In fact, it was such an overwhelming victory that some people complained that they couldn’t even warm up.
“What about the Vice President?”
“Stay over there.”
Baek Young-hee walked to the simple barracks where the great man was to report.
To her left and right, Alina and Namgoonghyun quickly followed.
“…Are you going too?”
“I need to finish the story I was talking about earlier.”
“Do you not know that I am trying to score points with my brother by myself?”
Puzzle!
When the eyes of the three women collided again and their rivalry began to ignite, Daein came out of the simple barracks.
“Whew… I’ve brainwashed him to no avail to see what kind of guy he is.”
The great man muttered as he wiped the blood from his hands with a handkerchief.
He had just come out from interrogating Redfinger’s executives.
However, the income was not that much.
The great man’s expression seemed a bit complicated.
‘My soul was completely controlled.’
The Red Finger executive who had been interrogated by him just moments ago did not pass on any information to Daein.
However, there was information that could be inferred from that fact alone.
“Hmm…”
Daein crossed his arms, lowered his head, and thought deeply.
‘It somehow feels familiar.’
A strange sense of déjà vu.
An ability used by an organization called Redfinger, and an entity that Daein has been searching for on his own.
As the three pieces of information came together, it seemed as if the puzzle pieces would not fit together.
“Hmm…”
The three people who were approaching Daein stopped and started whispering as Daein’s worried expression seemed quite serious.
‘Don’t you think I should talk to you now?’
‘…But isn’t it really cool when you get serious like that once in a while?’
‘ha. That man is really…’
The three people held their breath as their bean pods were tightly wrapped.
However, when one of the three was breathing heavily, Daein sensed the presence and raised his head.
“hmm? “Do you have anything to say?”
When Daein raised his head and looked at the three women with gloomy eyes – strictly from the perspective of the three women – the three women turned their gazes and looked the other way.
“You know…”
“Let’s finish what we were talking about earlier…”
“If you’re busy, we can do it later.”
It was a time when the three women, who were embarrassed for no reason, were throwing themselves at each other.
-Rarrrrrrrrrrrr!
A huge flame rising from far away inside the forest.
The great man’s eyes widened in astonishment as he turned his head in that direction.
“how…?”
“Vice President?”
“What’s going on?”
“Why are you doing that?”
The great man could not hear a word the three men said.
-Whisk!
He was already running as fast as he could towards the place where the flames came from.
***
“We must destroy everything without leaving even a trace! “Hurry up!”
At the priest’s urging, the remaining believers in the temple were busy burning all documents and objects.
In the end, Redfinger decided to abandon the temple.
But I couldn’t just run away.
The priest looked up at the altar, trying to calm his nervous mind.
‘Although it is unfinished…. You must take only the blood crystal.’
An altar filled with corpses of all races.
The center of the altar and on top of the highest platform.
The ruby-red gem was gradually growing in size as it absorbed the blood and souls of the sacrifices.
-Oooooh!
It was a crystallization of the energy of the souls and blood of the sacrifices that had been offered up until now.
A gift I have been preparing for the past few years to give to Him.
-Woooooo!!
“It’s almost done. Almost…”
The priest nervously bit his lip and waited for the blood crystal to be completed.
Although it was completed in a hurry and only contained about half of the energy it should have contained, it will still be a great help to His resurrection.
-Uuuu… Ugh!!!
The blood crystal trembled loudly and then slowly landed on the platform.
“done!”
The priest hurriedly went up to the altar.
I was planning to take only the blood crystal and go straight through the dimensional gate.
It was right then.
-Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The entire altar burned before the priest’s eyes.
The fire was so formidable that it instantly reduced the altar to ashes and soared hundreds of meters.
Of course, the priest who came to the altar was not safe either.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The priest was one of the strongest men in Redfinger, but he could not withstand even a few seconds in the face of that terrible heat.
As his consciousness faded, a voice came from the flames to his ear.
“Didn’t you know that if you make something like this in a hurry, the power will leak out? “Thanks to you, I found it easily.”
“You…!”
The priest gritted his teeth as he glared at the being in front of him.
The reason Redfinger has been holding his breath until now is not just because he is afraid of Earth’s dimensional allied forces.
I tried to be so careful because of that monster…
but in the end, my impatience ruined everything.
“I’ll take this.”
When she spoke, shaking the blood crystal in her hand, the priest had already turned to ashes.
It was then that the great man arrived at that place.
“…was it you, after all?”
The great man stopped in his tracks when he noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar figure behind him.
Fiery red hair that reaches down to her waist.
Although she was wearing just plain jeans and a hoodie, she was so slim and well-proportioned that she looked like a model.
The great man said as he walked towards her.
“You grown up kid. How are you?”
She Lily looked back and grinned.
“It’s been a while, uncle.”
