I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 318

I am not a returner Episode 318

Faded Promise (10)



The fire burns.

Fierce and rough, as if it would devour the whole world.

The flames were swimming freely in the air as if they were alive, entwining the charging demons and burning their bodies.

“Aaaahhh!”

The thick smoke flowing out from burning flesh covered the cavity like fog on a mountain range in the sky.

Due to the heat that seemed to burn their souls, the demons could not even approach Ha-eun and screamed in pain.

“You have to kill that bitch quickly!”

Among them, there was a demon tribe that reached Ha-eun through the fire.

“Why are you calling this bitch and that bitch from the first moment?”

Ha-eun took a boxing stance and stepped lightly.

Although she had a stigmata that specialized in long-distance and ranged attacks, she also possessed enviable close-quarters martial arts skills thanks to her natural reflexes and consistent training.

Bah!

He jumped lightly, as if in rhythm, and struck a straight punch at the approaching demons.

With a crunching sound in the nose, the demon race that was running was thrown back.

“yes!”

The body is as light as a feather.

Even a lightly stretched out fist is loaded with tremendous power.

Taking brisk steps, he struck the demons running through the flames one by one with his fists.

“Kaaaa!”

A scream as terrifying as the roar of a demonic beast.

Swept up by the flames burning everywhere, the demons began to fall one by one.

“You’re crazy. “I’m so fucking strong, are you coming?”

Ha-eun looks down at the fallen body of the demon with wide-open eyes, as if she can’t believe she did it herself.

When she was intoxicated by the exhilarating shiver running down her spine.

“Ugh!”

“uh? “What is it?”

One of the Demons, who was lying down with terrible burns all over his body, grabbed Ha-eun’s ankles.

Grumble!

Black clouds began to spew out from the horns on the demons’ foreheads.

“I’m dead...!”

When the black clouds flowing from the horn gathered into the hand that was clutching Ha-eun’s ankle.

Quack!

The black spear that flew at high speed pierced the demon’s head.

“...ah.”

“You can’t let your guard down until the end, sister.”

“Okay. sorry. “You seem too excited.”

Ha-eun scratches her head with a embarrassed expression, perhaps because she was disappointed with the ending.

Oh Jin let out an exclamation in his heart as he approached Ha-eun, who had transformed into the form of a dragon.

‘I’ve become incredibly strong.’

Originally, Ha-eun’s ‘last name’ itself was higher than Oh-jin’s.

In fact, she had the weakest strength among the group.

It was not because Ha-eun was lacking in skills, but because Isabella and Oh-jin had powers beyond the standard.

but.

‘I think the flame I just used is stronger than Isabella’s, isn’t it?’

To reduce as many as thirty demons to ashes in less than ten minutes.

That was impossible even as Ojin without using Gaecheon.

‘Now I won’t be able to follow my sister in dealing with the majority.’

From the beginning, Ha-eun had abilities optimized for the majority.

This time, as it absorbed the dragon’s soul, its power grew to the level of a strategic weapon.

‘It still seems like one-on-one isn’t enough.’

In terms of the game, Ha-eun is a type of wizard who pours out powerful magic from a long distance.

Although he was said to have learned some close combat skills, his skills were still lacking compared to a warrior who specialized in close combat like Ojin.

Although I may have let my guard down, I went into a state of panic just because a half-dead demon grabbed my ankle.

‘But as long as you have a strong front line to keep you safe.’

Ha-eun’s power is that of an awakened person who has reached level 11, or perhaps even higher.

“how is it? how is it? “Am I going to be a bitch?”

Ha-eun seemed to think that she had acquired tremendous power, and she raised her sassy attitude.

Oh Jin smiled and nodded.

“Are there any other symptoms?”

“Other symptoms?”

“huh. “The voice of the Dragon God resonates in my head.”

Suddenly the Majin troops are retreating?

“...What do you mean?”

-I don’t know either. Just a moment ago, some troops were chasing us... but suddenly they said they had received an order to retreat, and they are rushing out of the kingdom. That’s why I thought Mr. Oh Jin succeeded in awakening the Dragon God.

Is that why you were embarrassed when you were told you failed?

“Anyway, does this mean that the Majin troops have retreated now?”

-yes. The Yongin people are in a completely festive mood, saying that the Dragon God has awakened from his sleep.

“....”

A feeling of discomfort spread, as if a grain of sand was being chewed.

Now, should we pour cold water on them who are excited about the festival atmosphere by going out and saying that the dragon god actually died without being able to wake up?

“...I’ll tell you something.”

“Sister?”

“huh. “Even if you say it, I think I should say it.”

Ha-eun clenched her fists with a stern look on her face.

“...I’ll go with you.”

Kelion stood up, supporting himself with his cane.

“....”

Oh Jin looked at the back of Ha-eun and Kelion walking toward the outside of the lair with a bitter expression.

The war was won.

There were few casualties and the lost kingdom was regained.

but.

Their god, whom they had been anxiously waiting for for the past hundred years, will never open his eyes again.

From now on, forever.

* * *

Although the kingdom was recovered from the hands of the demons.

The atmosphere within the kingdom was so dark that it was reminiscent of a mourning house.

The death of the dragon god.

It was a bigger shock to the Yongin people than Ojin expected.

Not a god that we abstractly believe in and follow.

The Yongin people fell into great despair at the death of the merciful god who actually sacrificed his life for them in the past.

The Yongin people, who seemed to have lost the will to restore their broken kingdom, were sitting on the streets like dolls whose souls had been taken away.

“Huh... Huh!”

“Lord Kaleios... How can you leave us behind...”

“I believed you would wake up...!”

The sound of wailing echoing throughout the kingdom did not cease even as several days passed.

Although they won the war, they looked like defeated soldiers.

For them, the existence of the dragon god Kaleios was literally ‘hope’.

The despair that filled the place where hope had disappeared engulfed the Yongin tribe faster than any other disease.

Among them, there are even Yongin people who make extreme choices.

“ha. “How do you really do this?”

Ha-eun let out a deep sigh as if she was frustrated.

Just today, as many as three Yongin people committed suicide.

“...Is God that important?”

Ha-eun, squatting on the bed, muttered as if she couldn’t understand.

Isabella stroked Ha-eun’s shoulder as if comforting her.

“For the dragon people, the existence of the dragon god is closer to a parent than a god.”

A being who stayed until the end to protect those who were nothing more than slaves.

For the dragon people, the dragon god Kaleios was more than just a god they believed in and followed.

The only hope and salvation.

The pillar that had supported them for a hundred years had collapsed, so it was no wonder they fell into such deep despair.

“And the dragon people are a race that was born to worship the dragon in the first place, right?”

It is engraved in their souls and in their lives.

The mindset that you can only survive by serving someone.

“They definitely need a dragon... a ‘god’ to believe in and follow.”

but.

That god is already dead.

“...there is no way.”

A deep sigh flowed from Ha-eun’s mouth.

“No, there is a way.”

“ok? “What way?”

Oh Jin, who had been sitting quietly in a chair and lost in thought, stood up.

He gently placed his hand on Ha-eun’s shoulder and spoke softly.

“Sister can become ‘God’.”

If God died.

All you have to do is create a new god.
