Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Reunion]

The Battle of the Heavenly Demon Church.

The Heavenly Demon Cult leader, who was quietly practicing meditation, was puzzled when he received a request for a private meeting from the Grand Elder late at night.

“What are you doing at this hour, Grand Elder?”

“I’m meeting the leader.”

After a long pause, the elder slightly raised his head and looked at the religious leader’s expression.

‘Fortunately, you seem to be in a good mood today.’

Recently, the religious leader has often seemed unstable.

Everyone thought it was because of anxiety caused by the approaching war, but even the elders would hold their breath when they came face to face with the religious leader who often radiated demonic energy throughout his body.

But today the religious leader’s face looked very calm.

‘I was wondering if Simma might have come to visit… but it seems I was lucky.’

The elder thought he was very fortunate and carefully brought up the business of visiting the religious leader.

“Master. “Please listen to those around you.”

“And my water guards?”

The Great Elder bowed his head instead of answering. The leader thought for a moment and then snapped his fingers.

Perfect!

After all traces within Gyojujeon had disappeared, the Great Elder opened his mouth again.

“There is someone who wants to meet the leader quietly.”

“…minute?”

Daejangro held the position of being above all people and above all people in the Heavenly Demon Church. Whether in terms of status or military service. There was no one to whom he could give an honorific title other than the head of the Heavenly Demon Church.

‘Do you mean the incarnation of Mazda?’

For a moment, the leader thought of Lily, but his prediction was wrong.

The great elder mentioned a being that the religious leader could not have imagined.

“The leader’s grandfather has come to visit.”

“…What did you just say?”

Slowly, the great elder told the story of his encounter with Manbaknogoe.

He added a few words as if defending Manbaknogoe.

“It is said that he suffered serious injuries and burns as a result of his life-or-death battle with the Sword Emperor. “He was unable to return to the main church for a long time because he was struggling mentally and physically…”

“Elder. “Please stop.”

The elder fell silent in response to the cold reply. He looked at the religious leader with a fearful face.

“…….”

Even though the story was about his own flesh and blood, there was no change in the religious leader’s expression. It looked like a doll carved out of stone.

However, the elder could well guess that intense emotions were swirling inside that stern expression.

The head of the Heavenly Demon Cult, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“I don’t hear excuses directly. “Where are you now?”

“You are waiting for me in my place. He wanted to come here in person, but…”

“I don’t want a big commotion to happen at a time like this.”

The return of the pre-war Heavenly Demon cult leader who was thought to be dead.

If this fact were to become known, it was a major incident that would literally turn the Heavenly Demon Church upside down.

Manbaknogoe did not want the Heavenly Demon Church to fall into chaos because of him. The current religious leader also had the same thought.

“Please guide me. “I will go see you.”

“yes.”

The two men went to Gyojujeon without any bodyguards. The sect’s water guards tried to follow, but had to stay in place due to the sect’s strict orders.

Inside Gyojujeon, the two people left.

On one side was a chick doll that Lily had given to the religious leader as a gift.

-Please guide me. I’m going to meet you.

-yes.

The entire conversation the two had just had was recorded through a listening device attached to the chick doll.

***

The moment the Heavenly Demon Cult entered the room, Manbaknogoe stood up from his seat.

They stood facing each other at an awkward distance.

“…….”

“……..”

The old man was not sure what expression to make or what to say to his grandson, whom he met for the first time.

“greatness. “It’s my first time seeing your face.”

‘You stupid Cheonmugeuk. ‘Is that what you mean by doing the best you can?’

The old man sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for himself. The Heavenly Demon Cult’s eyes looking at him were cold.

“Why are you back now?”

It was too cold to be said to a blood relative, but Manbaknogoe could not point out that point.

Even if there were a hundred mouths, what would there be to say about a topic that returned after 100 years?

“I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t come to get an apology. Please answer me. Why did you come here? What is the purpose? Are you planning to act as a religious leader now?”

“Sect leader…”

The elder called to the religious leader with a sad expression.

But what came back were cold eyes and a solemn name.

“Elder, don’t open your mouth. “I didn’t ask you.”

“…….”

The Great Elder stepped back and bowed. Manbaknogoe opened his mouth with difficulty.

“…It took a long time to heal the injuries suffered by the Sword Emperor and control the Juhwaimma.”

“I can guess that just by looking at your shabby appearance. But I don’t think it would have taken 100 years.”

Gradually, sharp emotions emerged from the leader’s words. Manbaknogoe thought that was fortunate.

“I was planning to come back after I got back together. It took decades. After that, I looked into the news about Gyo… and it said that Muho had died.”

Muho Cheon.

He was the son of Manbaknogoe (Cheonmugeuk) and the father of the current religious leader.

The unfortunate leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult who had to deal with the aftereffects of the war on behalf of his father who went missing on the battlefield.

Although his martial arts skills were somewhat lacking, his sincerity and love for Christianity were greater than anyone else’s.

Cheon Mu-ho died before reaching the age of fifty.

“After hearing that news… I couldn’t muster up the courage to return to my school.”

“Because of you, my father.”

The Heavenly Demon Sect leader gritted his teeth. The demonic energy wavered wildly in his eyes.

“Father said that it would be a waste of time to learn martial arts if you wanted to take care of Gyo. “He said he wouldn’t be able to go to martial arts anyway, so he told me to study hard instead.”

“…….”

“I have never seen my father sleep for more than one hour a day. Unlike anyone else, my father had a very strong sense of responsibility. “He… burned himself and died for Protestantism.”

Crash!

The leader gritted his teeth. His eyes were red and bloodshot as he stared at the old man.

“I respect my father more than God. And I hate you that much.”

The old man nodded with a heavy expression.

“You deserve it. “I lost the war, and neither in death nor in life did I take responsibility for it.”

The face of the Celestial Demon Cult was distorted like an evil beast.

“You mean to admit everything!”

I hoped he would at least make a cowardly excuse.

Then, they would be able to criticize and kill without any hesitation until the core is resolved.

-Kwakwakwakwakwa!

The demonic energy flowing out from the body of the Heavenly Demon Cult began to weigh down the room.

The leader of the cult, Cheon Muhan, used evil words as if screaming.

“Why on earth did you come to see me? “Has it been time for him to die and come to his own grave?”

“Master!”

The Great Elder was shocked and raised his power. However, Manbaknogoe reached out before the leader and stopped him.

“Stay still. “This is our family’s business.”

“older brother!”

“Please.”

The Great Elder, biting his lips tightly, took a step back.

The old man walked towards the leader without exerting even an ounce of energy.

Jump and jump.

As he got closer and closer to the religious leader, blood began to flow from Manbaknogoe’s seven balls. The sect leader’s Heavenly Demon Spiritual Art, which had already reached the 10th level, was capable of harming people with will alone.

“I’m sorry. “Because of me, you lost your father early.”

The religious leader roared fiercely and warned.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t come near me.”

However, Manbaknogoe did not stop walking. The Heavenly Demon Qi raised by the religious leader ran wild and scratched his cheek, but he walked forward honestly.

“Even if you kill me here, I have no right to blame you.”

“I told you not to come any closer!”

Wow! Wow!

The tangible Heavenly Demon Machine tore Manbaknoge’s clothes and tore his skin. Flesh fell off and blood dripped.

“But…”

“You really want to die!”

-Puhuaaaaaaa!

A terrifying force erupted from the cult leader’s body. The tangible Cheonmagi chopped up Manbaknogoe’s entire body.

However, none of them were fatal attacks. Everyone exquisitely avoided bleeding.

‘You only avoided bleeding? There is no way such a fluke could happen.’

The attacking party did not hit it intentionally.

The elder was convinced of this as he looked at the religious leader’s shaking eyes.

After a while, Manbaknogoe stood in front of his grandson.

“…….”

The original reason why the Manbaknogoi came to the Heavenly Demon Church was to take a girl named Lily, who was said to be here, to Daein.

But he was putting his original purpose on hold for now.

‘I’m sorry. Disciple. It may be difficult to keep promises.’

Actually, I may have needed an excuse.

This is an excuse to return to the Church of the Heavenly Demon before he dies and ask for forgiveness from those he has neglected.

“Infinite. “Could you not listen to this story just once?”

“Damn it…”

The demonic energy flowing out of the cult leader’s body began to slowly decrease.

In the end, the leader sighed softly and said.

“Try it. “If it’s your will, I’ll listen to it.”

A bright smile appeared on the old man’s wrinkled face. He was truly happy and held the leader’s hand.

“Thank you. thank you so much!”

“Damn it. “I can’t let go of this…”

At that moment, the hands of the two people who had mastered the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique touched each other, creating a rapport that only they could know.

Tingling.

Sensing as if his palm had been pricked by a needle, Manpak Nogee opened his eyes wide and looked at the Heavenly Demon Cult.

“You can’t believe it…!”

“…….”

“Stay still.”

Manbaknogoe massaged the leader’s palm and then his arms and shoulders. And then I looked deeply into the eyes of the leader.

The old man’s expression became increasingly serious.

‘Magic energy…’

The blood of the Cheon family is inherently endowed with a power called [Magic energy], and the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong focused on maximizing that magical energy by fusing it with internal energy.

Therefore, only the Cheon family could learn the Cheonma magic and become the leader of the Cheonma cult.

“Since when did you become obsessed with coins?”

“…….”

The leader’s expression became as hard as stone at the question of the old man. The elder who was listening behind him shouted in surprise.

“The sect leader says you can’t buy coins? “That can’t be possible.”

“It is certain that the coin will enter. “I know better than anyone else in this world!”

The two old men talked with serious expressions.

On the other hand, Cheon Muhan stood still with a stern expression.

“Infinite. Hasn’t the number of followers of the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong suddenly increased recently? “Have you ever had times when you feel angry and unable to control the demonic energy in your body even when you are still?”

“……”

Cheon Muhan’s expression gradually hardened. Just as cold and hard as when I first met Manbak Nogee.

However, Manbaknogoe, who was shocked by the fact that his grandson was addicted to coinage, did not notice the fact.

“do not worry. I can fix it. I will heal you!”

“…….”

Manbaknogoe tried to reassure him by massaging the cult leader’s arm and telling him about the symptoms and treatment methods of Juhwaipma that he had experienced.

“This is nothing. Ah. “It’s nothing.”

Tsk tsk.

Chun Muhan laughed. It was funny. His face was cold, but his mouth was smiling.

“So, how many years did it take your grandfather to control Juhwaipma?”

“It took me 50 years. But it won’t take you that long. “At most, 10 years will be enough.”

“10 years… that’s too long.”

Manbaknogoe could not properly hear the sect leader’s mutterings. He looked back at the elder and said.

“The military deployment will be cancelled! Daejangro. “Bring whatever elixirs the church has.”

“yes. All right.”

The Grand Elder bowed his head. At that moment, a chilling voice came into the Grand Elder’s ears.

“Whose orders are you listening to now? “I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“But, sir. “It’s an emergency now…”

“It’s up to me to decide that too. Not this old man.”

“Infinite. Now is the time to think about such things…”

The Heavenly Demon Cult chuckled as he looked at the old man with a frustrated expression.

“You’re finally showing your true colors.”

And the hand of the Celestial Demon Cult penetrated into the belly of the Manbaknogoe like a thunderbolt.

Phew!

“Wow!”

It was a very vain blow.

The old man lost his composure at the fact that one of his relatives had fallen into the evil spirit, and even the great elder could not have imagined that something like this would suddenly happen.

“Why why…?”

The Heavenly Demon Cult snarled, glaring at the old monster with wide eyes.

“Did you think that even if I had been poisoned, I would give the position of leader to an old man?”

At that moment, Manbaknogoe realized what the sect leader had misunderstood.

‘Did you think I was going to take away the position of leader?’

“It’s a misunderstanding, that doesn’t make sense…”

“Ugly old man. Even if I kill you right away, it wouldn’t be cool….”

“Sir! “Stop it!”

The Great Elder unleashed his energy and rushed forward with terrifying force. The religious leader threw Manbaknogoe at him.

“Cough…”

The Manbaknoge, held in the arms of the Great Elder, felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry. He looked at the cult leader with blurred vision.

“Remember clearly! I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church! “He is the first Heavenly Demon in history who will conquer Wulin!”

The calm face was distorted like a vicious beast, and the demonic spirit ran wild.

The eyes were so engulfed in demonic energy that the whites of the eyes could not be seen.

‘It’s already too late…’

Even though the religious leader knew that he had fallen into a state of intoxication, he completely hid the fact.

The moment that fact becomes known to everyone, the conquest of the Murim, which has been a lifelong dream, will be postponed.

‘Can not be done. No way….’

The old man of Manbaku looked at the Heavenly Demon Cult with his vision getting increasingly darker. The demonic energy flowing from the cult leader’s body was rapidly becoming darker.

Just now, the Celestial Demon Cultist shattered the dantian of the Ten Thousand Demon Demons and absorbed the True Wonjin Qi within his body.

Including the [magic energy] that was inside it.

‘My magical energy is cloudy after being poisoned once. If you absorb it…’

it will worsen the Juhwa Ilma, and over time, the cult leader will lose his sense and become a Great Demon who only seeks destruction.

Just like he almost did once.

‘No one will be able to stop that child then. No one….’

“Run away….”

Manbaknogoe barely opened his mouth and said. It was a warning to everyone in the Heavenly Demon Church.

Before his vision went completely dark, Manbaknogoe heard the leader’s voice for the last time.

“Elder. “Put this old man in prison and keep quiet about everything he saw today.”

“……yes.”

And Manbaknogoe lost consciousness.

***

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk””

s old monster did not know whether he was laughing or crying.

The energy was leaking out from the broken Danjeon like a bottomless poison. It was terribly painful.

But compared to the mental pain, the physical pain was nothing.

I saw a relative I met for the first time in 100 years make the same mistake as me.

Don’t buy coins.

This time, even though I knew how to stop it, I couldn’t.

Instead of preventing it, it was like making it more dangerous. He even gave up his demon energy.

‘If that child is completely eaten by the Chinese Demon, he will no longer be human.’

No one can stop it then. Even if all three worlds gather together, they will not be able to stop it.

The martial arts world will be stained with blood until the Heavenly Demon, who has become the Great Demon, destroys himself.

“You shouldn’t come here. Great man. You must not come here….”

Manbaknogoe thought of his disciple who must be coming here by now.

Even though his voice couldn’t reach him, he continued to mutter as if that was all he could do.

“Run away. And after completing your martial arts skills…”

That muttering was not without meaning.

Because it definitely reached at least one person.

“This looks like your grandfather?”

The Manbak Nogee’s eyes widened at the sound of the girl’s voice coming from empty space.

“…Who are you?”

Slurp.

As if a curtain was lifted in the air, the transparent space was pushed out, and a girl with red hair appeared within it.

Lily, who had canceled the invisibility magic, squatted down in front of the fallen Manbaku Nogei.

And then he asked in the Murim language, which he had barely begun to walk.

“Harabuji. Arayo, uncle?”
