I’m not a Regressor

I am not a regressor Episode 430:

Lies (3)

Densely lined up trees.

Between the trees, strong bushes grew like rakes, and vines hanging between the trunks created a gloomy atmosphere.

A place commonly referred to as a ‘crack’ by awakened people.

It was a ‘forest’ field that was evaluated as the most common and safe even within the crack where all kinds of unusual terrain existed.

The only demonic beast roaming around in the forest is Anthorn, a 1-star demonic beast.

Of course, Anthorn was given the ugly label of ‘the demonic beast that killed the most awakened people’, but that was a label given to a fledgling awakened person who could not yet properly use the power of the stigmata while hunting demonic beasts without knowing anything about it.

A crack where insignificant demons live who can be easily hunted even if they only reach 3 stars.

There are no features whatsoever.

In this place where there is nothing special.

The fates of the two ‘misdiagnosed’ people diverged.

Like straight lines drawn in opposite directions.

Thoroughly and cruelly.

It went astray.

“ha.”

Oh Jin let out a deep sigh as he walked along a familiar forest path.

Memories of that day spread through my mind like ink dropped into water.

‘It started from here.’

Lee Shin-hyuk, who is attacked by a group of Enthorns and runs away after pushing himself away, suddenly suffers a seizure while running away and dies. Lee Shin-hyuk and the flowering of the dark sky.

and.

Meeting with Vega.

‘This is where it all started.’

A mere swindler who lived day after day by eating off other people’s backs.

The day I became a ‘returner’ who would change the fate of the world.

Of course, even if all of that is a lie created from Sechi’s tongue.

It was true that his life was completely changed here.

and.

‘I guess it’s the same for you too.’

Imagine.

What ‘another Ojin’, who had a different destiny than himself, must have experienced here.

‘He must have been abandoned by Lee Shin-hyuk… and attacked by Anthorn.’

Luckily, he was able to save his life, but he became a hemiplegic and couldn’t even eat properly on his own, so he had to be looked after by Ha-eun.

and.

I must have screamed out of extreme helplessness.

and.

He must have bowed his head to the enemy who abandoned him and ran away, asking him to protect his precious person.

and.

You must have lost everything.

“….”

I recall the past of ‘Cheonma’ one by one through Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.

Horrible memories that make you feel nauseous even if you remember them only for a moment.

He walked forward, pondering one by one the memories he might have experienced.

“Oh Jin, are you really here?”

“huh.”

“I can’t even see that bastard’s nose.”

“We’ll be there soon.”

I cut off the thoughts in my head and crossed the forest path with Ha-eun.

The place where they fled after being chased by a group of Anthorns.

Now time has passed and no trace of that place can be found, but I was able to move towards that place as if my body remembered it.

As I walked through the bushes that grew like rakes, a small clearing appeared.

The center of the vacant lot.

A man was looking up at the sky blankly.

“I’m here?”

The man who was looking up at the sky blankly slowly turned his head.

Same look, same voice.

but.

The man who felt so ‘unfamiliar’ looked at himself and smiled slightly.

“I was waiting.”

Past life and present life.

Two Ohjins whose fates can never meet.

We stood face to face in one place.

“Did you find it without getting lost?”

“Because it’s a place that has no choice but to be like that.”

“haha. “That’s right.”

The Heavenly Demon let out a low laugh and nodded.

“Because this is where the story between you and me began.”

“….”

“So, I thought this was the only place to end the curtain.”

close the curtain

“What about Cassia and Isabella?”

“Why are you so upset that you start asking that as soon as you meet Three?”

“Just answer the questions.”

“haha. Don’t look at me so scary. “Because you’re both safe.”

Just right.

When the Heavenly Demon snapped his fingers, black clouds spewed out from his entire body.

Cassia and Isabella were seen unconscious and tied up in a dark cloud.

Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes?

Cassia and Isabella, who were caught in the dark clouds, were in good condition without even a single scratch.

“Whoa.”

Although it was expected that the Heavenly Demon would not kill Cassia and Isabella right away.

Still, seeing the two of them in person like this, a sigh of relief escaped between my lips.

“These two are your new ‘precious people’, right?”

The Heavenly Demon looked back at Cassia and Isabella and smiled.

“Oh… did you say Riak? “Was he there too?”

Grumbling.

A wolf with a silver mane emerged from among the dark clouds.

“…Riak.”

The back of my neck felt hot when I saw Riak, who usually showed a strong side, hanging down so helplessly.

“There are three like this, right? Or was there more?”

“….”

“Haha sorry. “Actually, I don’t really ‘remember’ what happened with you before.”

The Heavenly Demon scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

“So, just in case… I brought them all in.”

“…You brought them all?”

“I’ll show you, so just wait a moment.”

Just right.

The Heavenly Demon snapped his fingers once again.

Rumbling!

Black storm clouds rose high like a tidal wave, and awakened people appeared, unconscious and tied to the storm clouds like flying insects caught in a spider’s web.

From familiar faces to Ojin, such as Allen Oscar, Baek Moo-gang, Alina, and Vladimir Rebecca Bell, as well as the same Chilseong, Lee Woo-hyuk, Sakaki Ryo, and awakened people with faces he has never seen before.

In this war, there were about 20,000 awakened people who were swallowed up by the clouds of the dark sky.

“Is there a ‘precious person’ among these people?”

“…If there is, what do I plan on doing?”

“Hmm. “That’s because you don’t need anyone except your ‘precious person.’”

The Heavenly Demon shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking with a calm expression.

“I tried to ‘eat up’ the useless trash in advance.”

There was no emotion in that calm voice.

It’s not because I’m angry.

It’s not because I’m resentful.

Because I just don’t need it.

Because it has no value.

Like cleaning up trash left on the side of the road.

It’s about taking people’s lives.

“You…”

Oh Jin chewed his lips and clenched his fists.

A way of thinking that I can’t possibly think of as the same person… no, I don’t want to think about it.

“Why on earth… did it end up like that?”

What must a person go through to fall that low?

Through Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories, I was able to indirectly know what kind of life Cheonma had to go through in his past life.

What Oh Jin knows is only indirect information.

Even he had no idea what kind of life the real Cheonma had led to end up like this.

“well?”

The Heavenly Demon slowly raised her head with a faint smile.

He looked up at the sky blankly, as if trying to remember something, then opened his mouth quietly.

“I forgot.”

A heavy silence fell.

A dry voice that did not even convey sadness continued.

“Why did I become like this, when did I start like this, what did I originally think…”

Not a single thing.

even alittle.

“I don’t remember.”

Cheer up.

The Heavenly Demon smiled brightly as if nothing had happened.

“Don’t worry though. “I told you this before, right?”

His eyes turned to Ha-eun.

“Even if I forget everything else… I still remember the most important thing.”

Even as my memories are torn apart by endless dark clouds.

As much as her.

As much as Ha-eun.

I didn’t forget.

“I have to protect my sister.”

Whatever it takes.

Even if I sacrifice everything.

“I… no, now you have to protect my sister on my behalf.”

A world where she can be safe.

A world where you can smile happily and live without worries.

She.

cry.

A world where you don’t have to.

“That is the world you must create from now on.”

“….”

Ojin’s expression distorted fiercely.

“I don’t think it would be difficult to create such a world even without you.”

“No, that’s not it.”

The Heavenly Demon shook her head and looked back at Isabella and Cassia Riak whom she had caught.

“It’s not me who should disappear, it’s them, right?”

The blue fire in the eyes burned eerily.

“I definitely gave you a chance. “If I sacrifice just one Vega, I can completely extinguish the dark heaven within me.”

A world where Ha-eun can live safely.

I went back in time and prepared everything, hoping only for that world.

Day by day, my memories are being eaten away.

In terrible pain like death.

Hoping for just that.

“But you ruined it all.”

Just Ha-eun is enough.

I don’t need anything else.

“Because of that ‘precious person’… I kicked away my last chance.”

Crack.

I gritted my teeth fiercely and glared at Ojin.

“…That’s it?”

“Yeah, ‘that’s it.’ Cassia? Isabella? And even an asshole that doesn’t know what it is.”

How on earth can you think something like that is ‘precious’?

“Still don’t know what’s important? “There should be only one person who can tell you that you are precious.”

“I guess that’s just your opinion.”

“No, no. That’s not it. “How many times do I have to tell you for them to understand?”

you.

It’s me.

It has to be me.

“You couldn’t even protect your sister! “In the end, you would have been nothing without my help!”

You should not dare to call another person ‘precious’.

“The only person who can tell you that you are precious is your sister. You shouldn’t use those words to anyone other than your sister. Do you understand?”

Even though I gave up everything, I couldn’t even protect my older sister.

How on earth can you be so greedy to protect others?

“All you have to do is think about your older sister…”

“If you listen to it, there is nothing this bastard can’t do.”

Ha-eun stepped forward, cutting off Cheonma’s words.

“Can you even be my mother? “Why are you deciding on Marnie, saying that all you have to do is think about me?”

“…sister.”

“There’s no reason for me to call you sister.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Ha-eun approached Cheonma with rough steps and grabbed his collar.

“Listen carefully, you idiot.”

He put his face close to me and growled fiercely.

“I’m the one who gave Ojin permission to cheat on me, so don’t tell me this or that. okay?”

Cheonma’s expression turned cold at Ha-eun’s explosive remarks.

“…sister.”

Oh Jin looked at Ha-eun, who was holding Cheonma’s collar, and covered her face with both hands.

“If you say that, it makes me sound like trash….”
