Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 374
—————————————
[ (side story) You are my…. ]
“Huh, huh…”
“Ugh…”
So Shin-han and An Jun were breathing heavily with their backs to each other.
There were over 100 enemies lying around them.
As soon as the Dimension Allied Forces’ offensive began, Red Finger’s warriors, who noticed the two men’s betrayal, rushed in from all directions.
However, after a fierce struggle, there were two people who stood until the end.
“Anjun. are you okay?”
“Haa… somehow…”
Anjun nodded with a pale face in response to Sosinhan’s question. He glanced at Soshinhan with a slightly tired expression.
‘It’s a complete monster.’
It was Sosinhan’s ability to defeat most of the enemies that it would be embarrassing to say that the two fought together.
…It was so incredibly strong.
Even in the WHA, which is full of monster-level talents, I wondered if he would be ranked in the top 10.
‘You’ve been hiding your power until now. Contrary to his appearance, he was an incredibly cunning guy…’ Of
course, this was a more reasonable guess than thinking that he had become as strong as a human being in just a few weeks.
Even now, So Shin-han seemed to have much more energy left than An Jun.
Soshinhan was looking at the red tower with calm eyes.
“…….”
“You have to join the Allied Forces. “They will come rushing in again in a little while.”
An Jun pulled So Shinhan’s arm, who was standing still.
However, Soshinhan did not move and seemed to think about something for a moment, then shook his head.
“You join the Allied Forces alone. “I have to go there.”
“what? Are you crazy?”
The place Sosinhan’s eyes were directed to was the red tower in the center of the fortress city.
A place where Redfinger’s priests, monks, and that fearsome prophet are located.
Going there alone was no different from saying that I was going to commit suicide.
“No matter how strong you are, it’s impossible to go there! Do you know how strong water warriors are?”
“Roughly. “I was sneaking a peek as I was passing by earlier.”
“When I saw that…”
An Jun’s expression distorted into anger at So Shinhan’s calm expression.
“Are you going to attack the Red Tower alone and cut off the prophet’s head? Do you think you can be a hero like a landlord?”
“…That’s not why. Look over there.”
Soshinhan shook his head resolutely and pointed in a direction with his chin.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The fleet of the Dimensional Allied Forces was breaking through the walls of the fortress city and pushing in.
The walls collapsed like a landslide, and artillery fire collided, causing explosions everywhere.
-Bububububung!
Around the place where the Giant God Soldiers and Demon God Soldiers were fighting together, storms and lightning were raging and the terrain was turning over.
“For His glory!”
“Protect the Last Temple!”
“Wow!!”
Here, as Redfinger’s fanatics charged towards the Allied fleet, a terrible hell was unfolding.
“Is there anything we can say about going there? “I’ll be lucky if I don’t get caught up.”
No matter how much Sosinhan became stronger after receiving training from Daein, the standards of that fight were completely different.
Even if they return to the Allied forces, there will be nothing they can do other than watch until the fighting is over.
But Soshinhan didn’t want to do that.
“…I will do what I can here.”
“hey. Our mission is over. It was more than enough to bring the Allied forces here. “We have already made the biggest contribution!”
An Jun pounded his chest in frustration, but So Shinhan only smiled bitterly.
“I’m not interested in that.”
It’s not about coveting the ball.
It’s not because of clumsy heroism.
“…I just can’t bear it.”
Due to the influence of Soshinhan’s characteristics, he had senses that were tens or hundreds of times more developed than others.
The screams of people writhing in pain, voices pleading to be killed, laughter like the cries of those tainted by madness, the sobs of children trembling in fear, the smell of blood that does not fade no matter how much you cover your nose… A sensation so vivid that it seems to be visible to the eye
. Soshinhan gritted his teeth.
“I just want to end this hell as quickly as possible.”
“You really…”
“Thank you for coming here with me. And I’m sorry for being harsh earlier. “You go back to the Allied Forces first.”
“…….”
An Jun couldn’t bear to say that he would go with him.
Even if I could recover from my wounds with potions, my physical strength was already limited.
Even if you follow along, it will only be a burden to Soshinhan.
Soshinhan smiled and patted his shoulder as if he understood his feelings.
“I’ll see you later alive.”
“…This is a line that people who die always say in movies.”
“It’s best to twist a cliché.”
Soshinhan, who grinned, turned around and started running towards the red tower.
“Crazy guy…”
At this point, there was no jealousy. An Jun muttered as he looked at Su Xinhan’s broad back, which was already quite far away.
“Don’t die, come back. “I will definitely repay the debt I owe today.”
Soshinhan must have heard what was being said from a distance and raised one arm above his head and waved it.
***
Soshinhan did not have the [Stealth] trait like Daein, but over the past few weeks, he had received basic hiding skills and spy training from Daein.
“Find the traitors!”
“You wouldn’t have gotten far!”
“Find them and tear them to death!”
Red Finger’s frenzied warriors were looking for Anjun and Soshinhan, but Soshinhan only moved in their blind spot and quickly approached the red tower.
-The basis of infiltration is stealth. Kill their presence as much as possible and use all your senses to find the guards’ blind spots. Escape is the same. Mr. Shinhan has developed senses, so he is also talented in this area.
Soshinhan thought, recalling the great man’s teachings.
What would your boss say if he found out you were doing this right now?
‘I’m sure they’ll tell you to stop doing useless things and come back.’
Even though I was in a serious mood, I couldn’t help but smile when I remembered the man’s blunt face.
If it were a great person, it would have been obvious that your work was done and you should come back and just look around.
‘president. sorry.’
After a while, Soshinhan succeeded in sneaking into the Red Tower.
“Who is there…!”
Crump!
Soshinhan, who broke the guard’s neck, laid him down on the floor and watched his surroundings with a cold gaze.
-Keep this in mind. Don’t hesitate when you have to kill.
When talking about murder, Daein’s expression was so calm, like an emotionless doll, that Sosinhan was startled.
But now I understood.
-That hesitation will not only kill you but also those around you.
That expressionless expression is not due to insensitivity to murder, but is simply something that has been hardened by experiencing numerous battlefields.
‘okay. There is no time to hesitate.’
While climbing the tower, Soshinhan’s concentration was at its peak.
My body was light as if I could fly, and my senses were sharp enough to capture the movements of even small insects.
Collisions with the enemy were avoided as much as possible, but when avoidance was unavoidable, moves were made boldly.
-Wood! Kwasik! Quad deuk!
When Soshinhan climbed about halfway up the red tower, he arrived at what appeared to be the tower’s communication facility.
‘If it’s here…’
Soshinhan looked around and soon found what he wanted.
It was a holographic communicator.
Communication devices using the dimensional hub’s common frequency could be accessed to the desired communication channel with just a little manipulation.
Before Soshinhan infiltrated Redfinger, he entered the password and connected to the communication channel given to him by Daein.
-Jeeeeee!
[…Shinhan? Where are you now?]
Immediately a large figure appeared on the hologram screen. He was sitting in the cockpit of Gigas.
“Boss… no, landlord…”
When he saw Daein’s face again, Soshinhan felt the emotions he had suppressed for a while come rushing out.
The owner is the landlord who is his idol and hero!
However, the great man still had a blunt expression.
[Now is not the time to be moved by trivial things. First, tell me what the situation is like there. Where are you contacting me just now?]
Right now, Daein was busy fighting while surrounded by demonic soldiers. All kinds of explosion sounds were coming from around Daein.
“Ah yes! “Here…”
Soshinhan quickly explained his situation.
“…So now we are halfway into the red tower.”
[Why on earth did you go there for no reason? When the work is done, I will join the Allied Forces.]
“I thought you would say that.”
[…Anyway, including the little boy, there are only people around him who don’t listen.]
The adult clicked his tongue as if it was absurd, but he didn’t look upset.
Instead, he seemed a little relieved.
[Anyway, good job. It’s rewarding to teach you so hard.]
“Hehe. thank you.”
Soshinhan, who scratched his head innocently, soon hardened his expression.
“By the way, boss. Did you see the prophet’s face? It looks just like the boss. “What happened?”
[That…]
The great man thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[I’ll explain this only once, so listen carefully. I think Shinhan should know too.]
Daein briefly explained the reason why Lilith came here and the fact that the prophet’s identity is the landlord of a parallel world.
When Daein’s story ended, Sosinhan’s mouth was half open in shock.
“Oh my god….”
[There’s no need to try to understand everything. The important thing is to stop him from doing any more crazy things and bring him to his senses.]
Soshinhan nodded with a firm expression.
At that time, something suddenly occurred to me.
“…Now that I think about it, there was something a bit strange earlier. “When the prophet baptized me, my energy moved freely.”
[…Inner strength?]
“Yes. The prophet’s expression was a bit strange at that time…”
When Sosinhan said exactly what he felt, the great man’s expression changed subtly.
Soshinhan doesn’t know it yet, but the martial arts that Daein taught him was Pacheonsingong.
However, the fact that the prophet reacted to the Breaking Heavenly Technique…
[Does this mean that his memories were not completely sealed?…]
At first, he thought he had become a puppet of Baal and Soul Eater, but when he heard that he reacted to the Breaking Heavenly Technique, the great man Another possibility came to mind.
‘Maybe…’
That was then.
-Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
With a vibration that seemed to turn the world upside down, the magic tree in the basement of the Red Tower began to spread out its branches and wrap around the tower.
And after a while, the Demon Beast’s huge body appeared on the ground.
The being inside the huge egg located in the center of the tree stirred.
[[The time of resurrection has arrived.]]
[[You foolish creatures. Worship your God.]]
After hearing the voices of Baal and Soul Eater, Daein quickly spoke to Soshinhan.
[Listen carefully, Mr. Shinhan. It’s difficult for me to get out of here right now.]
Even while Daein was talking to Sosinhan, he was controlling Gigas and engaging in battle with dozens of Demon God Soldiers.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
If Gigas leaves the battlefield, the damage to allies may increase rapidly. Because of this, the great man could not easily escape.
[There is something I want Mr. Shinhan to do until I get there. I have to take some risks…]
“I’m prepared to do anything!”
[okay. I knew so.]
Daein sighed and quickly explained the plan.
Soshinhan opened his mouth wide.
“Will such a strategy really work?”
[You have to make the most of it. Anyway, can you do it?]
Can you do it?
The favor that Daein had just asked of himself was something that Soshinhan was confident that he could do better than anyone else in the world.
“Just leave it to me!”
[good. I’ll clean it up and leave right away.]
“Then I’ll go right away…”
Soshinhan, who was about to cut off communication, suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Daein.
“president! “Then can I use ‘that’?”
A technique that is prohibited from being used unless it is truly unavoidable.
But if not now then when?
In the end, Daein nodded as if he had no choice.
[Don’t die. As long as you stay alive, it’s a side effect. I’ll do something about it.]
At that time, the voices of Soul Eater and Baal shook the tower again.
[[The god who will rule the universe is resurrected here!]]
[[We will create a new order of the universe!]]
Suddenly, the demonic soldiers and Red Finger fanatics began to run wild. There was no time to talk any more.
“president! See you later then!”
[Be careful….]
Thing-.
So Shin-han quickly terminated the communication and ran out of the communication facility.
As soon as I came out, I encountered Redfinger fanatics.
“Heresy has invaded!”
“I dare you to go to the final temple!”
Among the stampeding enemies were the most powerful warriors among Red Finger’s warriors and priests who were also powerful wizards.
“Krrr….”
But Soshinhan did not back down and raised the fur on his entire body.
It was time to unseal the forbidden technique, as I had received permission from the great man.
“Krrrrrrr…!!”
His eyes were red and bloodshot and his body was swollen.
Werewolf, the second form of the superhuman trait [Wolfification].
This was enough to get here, but Soshinhan added one more thing.
‘My body can withstand the reverse blood magic attack for less than 5 minutes.’
Reverse Blood Demonic Gong (易血魔功)
A rare magical attack that surpasses the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong and the Breaking Heavenly Demonic Gong with its instantaneous destructive power alone.
-Kwakwakwakwakwa!
The internal power flowing within his body ran in the opposite direction from before, forcing Sosinhan’s body to change one step further.
-Wood-duk-duk-duk!
The change was not as dramatic as expected.
The body, which had been hugely inflated, was instead compressed into a smaller size, and the magical power that had been exploding sank into the body.
After a while, Soshinhan completed his transformation, looking somewhere between a werewolf and a human.
“Die, Ethan!”
Soshinhan stamped his foot strongly towards the Red Finger warrior who was already approaching and brandishing his sword.
-Quaaaaaang!!!
Magical energy exploded in front of him. The water warrior who was running right in front of him could not handle the force and hesitated as if he would fall backwards.
At that moment, Soshinhan was struck like a thunderbolt.
-Kwazijic!
Sosinhan immediately crushed the head of the warrior who attacked from the front and began to climb the tower, frantically defeating the enemies that kept coming down.
***
When Sosinhan arrived at the top of the tower and found the prophet, the effect of the reverse blood magic attack was almost over.
He shouted, his whole body in a state of complete disrepair.
“Stop it!”
The prophet stopped walking and slowly looked back at the words he shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Please stop here! “You’re not the type of person to do something like this!”
“…Do you know me?”
“Of course I know!”
To the prophet who gave a puzzled look, Sosinhan spoke with sincerity. His expression was very desperate and his voice was earnest.
“He’s my idol and hero. “How could you not know?”
“…….”
Although he seemed a little embarrassed, there was no significant change in the prophet’s expression.
“You…”
But at Soshinhan’s next words, his eyes began to waver like a ship caught in a storm.
“He’s my teacher!”
