Regressor’s Life After Retirement

[No business in Daguri (1)]

Cheonghae Murim League chapter.

The warriors of the Murim Alliance were busy working to clear up the traces that the Heavenly Demon Cult had swept away.

“Collect all broken items to one side!”

“For the injured, use the potion given by Pacheongeomje in the order of emergency!”

“Sentry soldiers, be on high alert! “You never know when the demons might attack!”

The one who is the busiest among the dogs, moving around and giving instructions here and there.

It was Cheongwoon, the deputy head of the Murim League and now the deputy leader of the Cheonghae branch of the Murim League.

“Whoa… this is really not normal.”

Cheongwoon was so busy running around that even three bodies were not enough.

There were so many casualties that it was hectic just collecting the bodies and moving and treating the injured.

If it weren’t for the amazing elixir called ‘Potion’ given by Daein, most of the injured would have died.

‘What a great friend. He is so good at martial arts, and he generously gives such precious elixirs to people he meets for the first time…’

The great man generously offered a potion that seemed more precious than a thousand gold. The Murim Alliance warriors were busy praising Pacheon Geomje’s virtue even if only three of them gathered together.

Cheongwoon also acknowledged that part. Daein is truly a man worthy of being called a chivalrous hero.

But…

Cheongwoon, who had a moment to catch his breath, looked around and frowned.

“You’re pampering me too much. “Where did this friend go again?”

Daein had left a mountain of work to Cheongwoon, but it was unclear where he had gone.

It was about one o’clock before Daein came to visit Cheongun.

“Cheongun. “Shall we talk separately?”

“I was already looking for you. I’m so busy, but I can’t even see where I’ve gone…”

“It’s an important story.”

As Daein suddenly spoke in a serious tone, Cheongwoon also sensed something was unusual and his expression hardened.

“I don’t think it’s something to say here.”

“Let’s go to my room.”

The two headed to the office of the Cheonghae branch chief. On one side of the room, Geum-o was taking a nap with his stomach exposed.

“Sit there.”

As soon as we sat down face to face, Cheongwoon asked.

“What an important story. “What on earth is going on?”

“……”

Daein looked into Cheongun’s eyes in silence for a while.

Taegeuk Geomje. The best person in the world of the future Moorim.

One of the transcendent strongmen who continued to build up strength by traveling between Earth and other dimensions after the martial arts world was connected to Earth.

‘In the past, it was someone I couldn’t even dare to meet.’

But now we have become what we call close friends.

Daein evaluated the Cheongun that he personally met and experienced.

‘He is good by nature, curious and has a free spirit. Surprisingly, it’s also nonsense.’

The conclusion was that he was a fairly trustworthy guy.

So much so that he could include it in his current plan.

“Three days later, the forces of the Heavenly Demon Church will move south in large numbers and invade. “The number is around 20,000.”

Surprised by those words, Cheongwoon opened his eyes and asked back.

“…20,000? But how do you know so much about it?”

The great man said, taking out a magic communicator in his arms.

“Actually, I’m not from Moorim. “I come from a place called Earth.”

Daein first calmly explained to Cheongwoon that he came from Earth.

Until now, this was a fact that was only known to old man Jin and old man Namgung-hyeon.

Contrary to the expectation that he would not be easily believed, Cheongwoon looked quite surprised, but soon understood and nodded.

“…Right. “Somehow…”

“Somehow?”

Cheongwoon said with a small sigh.

“I’ve often thought that you don’t look like an ordinary person. He doesn’t have the personality of a warrior, and he has a lot of unique items… So, is the potion an elixir from another world? Huh… now all those questions are finally answered at once.”

‘Is it because he is young like Namgoong Hyun? He also accepts it easily.’

Cheongwoon was able to understand Daein’s identity more easily than he thought.

Rather, he seemed to have a lot of curiosity about the Earth.

“So why are you telling me your identity now?”

“I need some help.”

Through Lily, Daein heard the ins and outs of the internal affairs of the Heavenly Demon Church.

Not only did I know that 20,000 troops of the Heavenly Demon Church would move south to attack this place three days later, but I also knew the organization of those troops and their movement route.

“Honestly, if you put your mind to it, it is not difficult to turn this war into an overwhelming victory for the Murim Alliance.”

“Then…”

“But I don’t want the Murim Alliance to win the war.”

“!!”

At that moment, Cheongwoon glared at Daein with a cold, stern expression.

No matter how much Cheongun thought of Daein as a special friend, he was a warrior belonging to the Murim Alliance.

What Daein said just now could have been heard as treason against the Murim Alliance.

“What did you mean by that just now? You have no intention of letting the Murimmaeng win? Are you saying that you are going to have an affair with the Demonic Cult?”

A sword-like force rose from Cheongun’s body.

If Daein’s answer went against his beliefs, Cheongun planned to draw his sword without hesitation.

The great man shook his head.

“I won’t take sides.”

“What does that mean… state clearly!”

“Actually, the original plan was to pretend not to know about the war and return to Earth.”

While speaking to Cheongun, Daein recalled two teachers.

Geomhwang and Cheonma.

Geomwang gave him the best martial arts in the world, and Cheonma taught him how to properly establish those martial arts.

We both felt bad about pretending not to know and going back.

‘I have to take the little boy with me anyway.’

Since coming to Moorim, I have already been caught up in a lot of troublesome matters.

How difficult would it be to step forward one more time at the end?

“Cheongun. I will stop this war. “It will be much easier with your help.”

Cheongun asked with an expression of incomprehension.

“why? “What does preventing the Great War have to do with you from another world?”

“It doesn’t really matter.”

The great man scratched his chin and answered.

“Because I have the ability to do that?”

“Huh…”

Cheongwoon was silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed softly and said.

“Look at you, great man. The Great War is also a repeated history of this land. Even if you prevent this war, it will break out again someday. Do you think Magyo will give up their midfield? Do you think the Murim Alliance will tolerate them?”

“I have a way to think of all of that.”

Daein explained to Cheongwoon not only the plan to stop this war, but also the next steps.

“Huh…”

Cheongwoon just listened for a while, probably speechless.

After Daein’s story was over, Cheongwoon shook his head.

“You really…”

Cheongwoon sighed as if he had both hands and feet up. But that face was smiling for some reason.

‘How on earth can he think like this?…’

Daein was a source of surprise to Cheongun, who had been called a martial arts genius by others throughout his life.

“Unfortunately, I just thought that I wouldn’t be able to beat you even if I lived my whole life.”

“So what is the answer?”

“…….”

Cheongun closed his eyes for a moment and thought.

Until now, I thought it was my natural duty as a true believer to stop the Demonic Cult from invading the central plains.

No matter how many demon cultists die, they brought it on themselves.

‘But is it really so?’

Suddenly, the lonely face of the Sword Saint who said he would not participate in this war came to mind.

‘I think I understand now why Master said that.’

Cheongwoon opened his eyes again and nodded with a solemn expression.

“I understand. “I will help you as much as I can.”

In this way, Daein succeeded in obtaining Cheongun’s cooperation.

‘good. First, we secured one person, and then…’

Daein looked back at Geumo, who was scratching his stomach in one corner of the room.

“Monkey execution. “Can I ask you a favor?”

Ukkii?

Geumo tilted his head and looked at Daein.

***

The next day.

Daein left the Cheonghae branch of the Murim League early in the morning.

Slurp.

The body of the great man who used stealth completely blended into the scenery. Daein crossed the border of Xinjiang and entered the realm of the Heavenly Demon Religion.

‘The border is fierce.’

Every visible guard post was lit.

The warriors of the Heavenly Demon Church were on guard in all directions with their eyes wide open, and trained dogs were sniffing around to look for intruders.

However, even dogs with a sense of smell that is thousands of times stronger than that of humans were unable to find the person. Daein jumped over the guard post like he was flying.

Whick!

The great man ran in a straight line toward his destination.

I already knew where to go, and the communicator in my hand showed the remaining distance.

After a while, the great man arrived at the center of the Heavenly Demon Church and slowed down a little.

‘You have to be careful from here on out.’

There are very few masters who can detect the presence of a great person who even used the Gaeseong ability [Stealth], but if you happen to run into the Heavenly Demon Cult leader who came out to drink at night, it would be a big disaster.

‘Fortunately, the monster seems to be stuck in the cave.’

The great man turned his head in the direction where he felt the huge demon energy. It was a place where there was a training center where the religious leader prohibited all access for three days.

Tsutsutsu Tsutsutsu!

Like the devil’s castle, the demonic energy flowing out from within was forming dark clouds in the sky.

The person who saw that said it in a voice without realizing it.

“…crazy.”

‘They say that the stronger the spirit demon, the stronger the power will become…’

The power felt there now was a world away from the cult leader who had fought the great man just a day ago.

“No three days, is it now two days…”

After muttering to himself for a moment, Daein turned around without any regrets.

After a while, Daein hid in the Josa-dong where Lily and Manpak Nogee came together a few days ago.

I knew how to open the secret passage after hearing it from Lily.

Kugugoogung-!

As soon as the floor of the cave opened, the great man entered it. Yamyeongju, embedded in the walls on the left and right, illuminated the interior.

He hadn’t even walked far when he heard a very familiar voice.

“Mister-!”

Lily, who flew from inside the cave, gave Daein a headbutt.

Pow!

“It’s been a really, really long time!”

The great man looked down at Lily, who was hanging on his chest. When I saw the little boy’s face for the first time in a long time, I couldn’t help but smile.

“kid. how have you been doing?”

“huh! We gave them a lot of delicious food here and the grandfathers taught us martial arts. And people really like me?”

“Ugh…”

The great man playfully stroked Lily’s red hair.

Maybe it was because it had been a long time, but I felt strangely at peace.

But that’s it.

“I’m glad you’re doing well. “Thanks to you, I almost had a heart attack last time.”

“lol.”

“…If this isn’t a compliment, you damn kid!”

For a moment, a star flashed on the top of Lily’s head.

Sigh!

“It hurts…”

Lily sat down, covering the top of her head with both hands. The great man squatted down in front of him and sighed heavily.

“Didn’t I tell you to wait quietly on Earth?”

Then Lily’s lips popped out.

“You didn’t come quickly. I waited for over a month. “You were being lazy while helping poor people, right?”

Daein was speechless for a moment at the look on his face that said, ‘It’s a video even if you don’t watch it.’

“…what is this good thing? “When you return home, you are prohibited from eating late at night for a month.”

“and! “It’s Chisapantsu!”

“It’s a rainbow reflection!”

As soon as they met, Abraxas, who was wrapped around Lily’s neck without any presence between the two people, sighed.

Kyaaa….

[Great. Can you pretend I know too? In the end, I did everything you asked me to do, right?]

“As?”

The great man stroked Abraxas’ head and looked at him curiously.

“Snakes look good on you too, right? “Is it the same reptile?”

[I will eat you someday!]

Kyaaa!

The great man withdrew his hand to avoid Abraxas’ teeth.

After talking with the two for a while, the great man walked inside the cave.

“Master?”

At the end of the cave, Manbaknogoe was sitting quietly cross-legged.

“Cluck. “Are you here?”

The old man looked as unsightly as a withered, dying tree. His limbs were as dry as tree branches, and his face was covered with age spots.

Even my breathing was irregular, so it wouldn’t be surprising if I started to run out of breath right away.

Daein, who had no idea that Manbaknogoe’s condition would be this bad, quickly approached.

“There are so many elixirs around. “Why didn’t you eat anything?”

There was a small pond on one side of Josa-dong. There were spiritual plants blooming around it that gave off magical energy, but there was no trace of human touch.

“Cluck. Even if I tried to eat it, it would be like pouring water into a bottomless pot. “Can you use the elixir so wastefully?”

Manbaknogoe was already detached from life.

The Danjeon that was broken by the Heavenly Demon Cult could not be restored with any of the martial arts elixirs.

Death could be postponed for a few days, but Manbaknogoe had no desire to continue his life in such a pitiful manner.

“But I’m glad it’s not too late. “Kkkeul…”

The old man stretched out his hand and touched the great man’s face.

A disciple acquired in later life. The time we spent together was so short that it was embarrassing to even call him my student, but I still did my best to teach him.

This guy will definitely become the best of all time.

“I was alive until you came here, so that’s it for me.”

The old man closed his eyes and continued speaking.

“Now I would like to convey my final thoughts. “I learned something of my own after reading the book the researcher left here.”

“…….”

“It will be helpful when dealing with the cult leader. “I don’t know how you will deal with that child, but…”

Daein, who was quietly listening, said in a bewildered voice.

“Why are you secretly trying to get away with it?”

“…?”

The old man opened his closed eyes. The great man was grinning.

“Am I crazy? Fighting such a monster alone?”

“That… what do you mean?”

The great man said, taking something out of his bag.

“There is a proverb on Earth that goes like this. There is no business in Daguri. “Oh, isn’t it a proverb?”

It was a glass bottle filled with golden liquid. When I opened the lid, a refreshing scent filled the cave.

[That guy. I brought the elixir.]

Abraxas recognized the identity of the item the great man took out at a glance. Because she once gave it to someone as a gift.

[Elixir]

A liquid even called ‘God’s blood’ that heals all wounds, diseases, and even body defects. Moreover, drinking just one sip had the effect of extending one’s lifespan by several decades.

The great man said as he handed the elixir to the old man.

“So, let’s quickly recover from martial arts. Let’s go kill Cheonma together.”
