I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 373

I am not a returner Episode 373:

Constellation of Black Stars (9)



Quad Deuk!

When the fist covered in black lightning touched Anceladus’ chest, the sanctuary protecting his body was torn like a piece of paper.

The clenched fist penetrated Anceladus’ body, piercing his heart.

[What is this...?]

Anceladus looked down at Ojin with wide eyes in astonishment.

He could see Oh Jin looking up at him with a bitter sneer.

[Nonsense...]

Cough.

Black powder poured out of Anceladus’ mouth as if a bag of flour had been torn.

What makes up the body of the constellation is not blood and flesh, but the magical power of stigmata.

The magical power of that stigmata was now being torn apart by black thunderbolts and spewed out.

No one saw exactly what Ojin had done.

The reason why the black lightning flashed was because it was just before his fist touched Anceladus’s chest when he split the candle.

An angle that is not visible from the perspective of Lee Woo-hyuk and Sakaki Koshiro.

At least Vega, who was closest, could see it.

It goes without saying.

It was no coincidence.

A lie built up in a limited time of 10 minutes.

A fraud designed to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Anceladus, who firmly believed that Ojin could not penetrate his ‘sanctuary’ without the blessing of the Constellation, or to be more precise, from the position of Anceladus who ‘believed’ that way, there was no way to avoid the black thunderbolt.

[Cough!]

Black powder continued to pour out from between Anceladus’ lips.

Even in the fierce battle that lasted for about 10 minutes, my legs, which had been firmly planted on the ground, faltered and broke.

The trident fell from the hand of Anceladus, who fell down on one knee.

“haha.”

Even though it wasn’t like Anceladus, whose heart had been pierced, Ojin’s condition couldn’t be said to be normal.

Because the trident penetrated the stomach and the internal organs were crushed into a mess.

If it weren’t for the awakened person’s superhuman body, the wound was so severe that it wouldn’t be surprising if he died instantly the moment his stomach was pierced.

In fact, the last attack was an attack that could have been avoided.

‘Because I had to do something like this to fool Anceladus.’

Anceladus was arrogant and arrogant, but he showed a very meticulous side in battle.

Or, more accurately, should I say it is petty.

The fact that he initially set a trap to lure Ojin and his men in and used his subordinates as bait to lure them into the swamp was also part of his pettiness.

Even in a battle with a time limit of 10 minutes, he talked loudly about showing the true power of a transcendental person, but he tried to waste time by focusing on defense as much as possible until the constellation’s blessing was extinguished.

A lie is at its sharpest when it is hidden among the truth.

In order to completely deceive Anceladus, Ojin had no choice but to suffer a fatal wound.

[Are you okay, my child?!]

Vega looked at Ojin’s stomach pierced by the spear and cried.

“...are you okay.”

Although the wound was severe, recovery should not be difficult as long as you have water-friendly skills.

To treat trauma of this magnitude, tons of water would be needed, but since there was an ocean nearby, there was no way there would be a shortage of water.

‘The problem is that the distance to the sea is quite far.’

As I was trying to avoid the swamp as much as possible, I had no choice but to go deep inland.

Still, it wasn’t a distance that couldn’t be reached if only Anceladus was successfully dealt with.

[Keuuuuu noom...!]

Anceladus glares at Ojin with wide-open eyes.

He stood up shakily, putting pressure on the spot where his heart had been pierced with his hand.

He glared at Ojin with an expression of disbelief.

[How can you use his power...!]

For the Holy See, carrying out ‘sanctuary work’ was not an easy task, even in the sanctuary where there were no restrictions of the law.

As difficult as it was, the power of the constellation within its own domain was so strong that it could be said to be absolute.

[Hehehe. It’s already too late to run away!]

Anceladus twitched the corner of his mouth and spread his arms wide.

A cloud of black light emitted from him largely surrounded Ojin.

[Huh, huh, huh, huh!]

Even for Anceladus, who was relatively free from the restrictions of the law, carrying out his ministry was too much for him, and he was panting with his breath welling up to his chin.

but.

[Now... Be in awe, humans.]

Nonetheless, he succeeded in trapping Ojin within his sanctuary.

Googoo googung!

The ground trembled and water began pouring out like an explosion in a cloud of black light.

[This is the ‘Dragon Palace’, the sanctuary of the Hippocampus constellation.]

The water that reached the ankles quickly passed through the waist and chest and completely engulfed Ojin’s body.

In the blink of an eye, the place that was land just a few seconds ago turned into the sea.

A miracle that far surpasses the laws of physics.

The expression on Ojin’s face as he was trapped inside the sanctuary opened by the Constellation.

[...What is it?]

Anceladus’ expression distorted.

Surely he deserved to be trapped in the ‘Dragon Palace’ and struggle in pain without being able to breathe.

[Why... are you smiling?]

The expression on Ojin’s face while he was trapped in the water was extremely calm.

No, should I just be calm?

There was even a bitter sneer on his lips.

Anceladus frowned at his carefree appearance, which could not have been thought of as being trapped in the sanctuary.

[Ah, can you hear now?]

Ohjin opened his mouth a few times in the water, and then, as if he had figured out the trick, he used the magic of stigmata to create a voice.

[Wow... I wasn’t expecting this.]

Ojin leisurely looked around the ‘Yonggung’.

As the name Dragon Palace suggests, a huge temple made up of the magic of stigmata rose nearby, and countless groups of seahorses emerged from the temple, holding weapons and surrounding Ojin.

Perhaps because they were underwater, their movements seemed agile and on a different level from those seen on land.

[Why do you choose the water?]

[What does that mean?]

[Do you remember Sōsuke?]

[...I know.]

Although he is dead now, among the children who inherited his stigmata, he had some decent talent. It was.

[Do you know how he died?]

[I don’t know.]

I knew that he was called an executioner and led other children, but at that time, before the ‘restrictions’ were weakened, I didn’t know how he died.

[Really?]

Ojin shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Anceladus’ spear, which was still piercing his stomach, and roughly twisted it out.

His organs, crushed along with the spear, were pulled out and scattered in the water.

[What are you doing now?]

Anceladus looked at Ojin as if he couldn’t understand.

Even if you pull out the spear as carefully as possible, you don’t know if your life will be saved or not, so you pull the spear out roughly as if you were pulling a nail out of a tree.

[You want to die before you even fight... huh?]

Anceladus’ expression as he looked at Ojin hardened.

It was seen that the fist-sized hole in his stomach was filling up in an instant.

No, not just the wound on his stomach, but everything from large wounds to small scratches covering his body were disappearing.

[It’s okay if you don’t know anything.]

Ohjin chuckled, shrugged his shoulders and twisted the corner of his mouth fiercely.

[Because you will find out from now on.]
