Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ Magpies who came to return the favor (3) ]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

From the front, the army of flames created by Lily burns the enemy and

boo boo boo boo!

Behind him, the great man created a storm of blades with hundreds of swords, causing a bloody storm.

The group of frostworms, which numbered over a hundred, were surrounded front and back, and their numbers quickly decreased.

Kyaaaaa!

Kyaaaaa!

These scary monsters were even called ‘the wrath of the frost god’ by the frost dwarves.

However, today, it met the wrong owner(?) and is on the verge of extinction.

“kid. Maintain a good siege. “It would be a bother if even one of them escapes and kills the cub later.”

He was a great person who had no intention of providing after-sales service. Therefore, I planned to deal with it all at once.

Churrup….

Lily drooled as she looked at the frost worm being baked until golden brown.

“mister. “Would it be delicious if I grilled them?”

“Do you really want to eat it? Are you going to go to the Frost Dwarf King later and ask for something delicious?”

“…you idiot! “You have to say that quickly!”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Lily, fully motivated, unleashed even greater firepower. Lightning rained down from the sky and flames erupted from the ground.

Superiority of compatibility?

In the face of overwhelming flames, such things meant nothing. The frostworm’s hard scales melted and its flesh turned black.

“I’ll sort it out soon.”

Since Lily seemed to be enough on her own, the great man took back his division sword and quietly watched the girl fight.

‘…I’m stronger than I was a while ago.’

In the meantime, Daein has become quite strong, but Lily’s growth over the past seven months has been hard to believe even when seen from the side.

Ahead of the great disaster known as Hell Gate, a power as strong as Lily was absolutely necessary.

But…

Sometimes, Daein got on his nerves because Lily seemed like an insatiable fire demon that was trying to devour the whole world.

And every time that happens

– ho…. he carries something interesting with him.

I recalled the conversation I had with Vassago, the overlord of the Demon World, seven months ago.

Vassago planted his ‘eyes’ inside the body of the great monster Abaddon and observed the great man, and the great man, who noticed this, spoke to him.

After that they talked for a while.

-I was wondering how a human could rule the Demon King… That was the reason.

-You don’t seem to know what ‘that’ is yet, do you?

-That’s interesting. It’s really fun…

Vassago was a powerful demon lord who ranked third in the demon world.

He had nicknames such as [King of the Warlocks], [Blind Prophet], and [Sage of the Demon World].

As you can see from his nicknames, Vassago was a being with the most knowledge and a keen sense of curiosity and exploration in the demon world.

He showed great curiosity towards Daein and towards Lily next to him.

-I want to bring him alive and dissect it myself. Are you planning on handing it over to me?

The moment Vassago said those words, the great man tore Abaddon’s face to pieces.

In fact, a few more words were exchanged after that,

and we had the opportunity to talk several more times later.

And in the end….

‘Time flies.’

Time passed like a flowing stream, and Hell Gate was truly just around the corner.

“mister! “I finished it all!”

Lily, who had eliminated all of the frostworms, rushed over and grabbed Daein’s arm.

“Let’s go eat something delicious quickly!”

Even though he has become incredibly strong, he is still the same kid in this regard.

The great man chuckled and said while pressing the top of Lily’s head.

“okay. “Let’s go quickly and ask the Frost Dwarf King to prepare a delicious meal.”

“Don’t press your head! “You don’t grow taller because you keep pushing me!”

“Why are you blaming me for not growing taller? Of course, you have to press a little harder….”

“Don’t do it!”

“evil! hey! “Don’t bite!”

It was when the two of them were bickering about trivial things as usual.

Feeling a chill that sent shivers down his spine, Daein immediately moved to the side, holding Lily in his arms.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

A strong snowstorm raged where the two were, and soon the space itself froze.

[Give me the sacred… ice…!]

A woman with scattered hair made of ice grains appeared on the spot with a voice that sounded like scraping metal.

“Have you already come after me?”

The great man sighed and said. The opponent was the Frost Queen, whom he met at the top of the ice mountain.

[If you don’t give it to me… I’ll destroy it…!]

Blah blah blah blah-!

The moisture in the area froze, and countless ice particles formed in the air. It rained down on the two people faster than a bullet.

Bubble bubbling!

There was a hole in the floor, but Daein and Lily were no longer there.

“Something annoying came along.”

“I’m hungry, why do I keep coming out…”

The two people who moved to the side sighed deeply.

[How dare you… take my ice…!]

“You better speak properly.”

[Kill… kill… everything!]

At that moment, the ice particles that made up the Frost Queen’s body exploded and split into the corpses of frost worms lying everywhere.

Slurrrrrrr….

The melted and burned frost worms rose one by one. They banded together and soon transformed into one huge monster.

[Whoa whoa…!!]

The being that stood up on its hind legs was reminiscent of a huge dinosaur. Strong jaws and a tail as long as the body were filled with cold air inside the wide open mouth.

Rumble!

The monster’s roar caused a landslide on the ice mountain and an earthquake occurred with every step.

The appearance of a great monster that looks as if it could easily destroy a city.

“Ugh.”

“Haam.”

However, the Great Man and Lily stood side by side in the same pose, with their arms folded, shaking their heads and just looking at the monster.

“kid. “Aren’t you tired of this pattern now that you’re so used to it?”

In response to Daein’s question, Lily yawned and nodded.

“I’ve caught over a hundred of those things with you so far.”

[[Kwoaaaaaa!]]

Despite the monster’s world-shattering roar, the two people still looked perplexed.

Even

““If you don’t pay, I’ll play tag~ rock, paper, scissors!””

“Ahh! “I won!”

“Tch…”

We played rock, paper, scissors to see who would face the monster.

“Thank you. thank you.”

The king of the Frost Dwarf Kingdom repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the two people.

Before his eyes were two heroes who had annihilated the frost worms, the kingdom’s greatest nuisance.

…I was shoveling food into my mouth like a beggar who hadn’t starved for several days, but that was a minor problem.

‘Earth’s dining culture is very exciting.’

It was enough to think that way.

The Frost Dwarf King saw their great achievements with his own eyes.

After receiving reports of a huge fire rising from the ice mountain, the dwarf king rushed there with his soldiers and

saw hundreds of frostworm corpses reduced to ashes.

“I never thought that legend… would be true.”

The dwarf king spoke with a face that looked like he was about to shed tears at any moment.

“There is a legend that has come down to our kingdom from long ago. According to legend, one day, heroes will come from a faraway place…”

The dwarf king, who had quenched his thirst with wine, cut off his words.

“Let’s skip the part where we know everything.”

“…yes?”

“Wherever you go, there are one or two legends like that.”

It may have been a lifelong wish for the dwarf king, but it was an everyday scene for Daein and Lily, who had done similar things wherever they went.

“I will definitely receive this grace someday….”

“Ah. are you okay. We did it because we all needed it too. “I don’t even remember all of these things.”

The great man waved his hand casually and said a word in passing.

“Well, if you really want to. In fact, we are also interested in your metallurgy…”

The Frost Dwarf Kingdom was a very small country, the size of a city on Earth.

It was closer to a tribe than a kingdom, and its national power was negligible.

However, the metallurgy they developed was quite unique and of a high level.

“Would you like to exchange technology with us?”

And wherever he went, Daein tended to take care of what he could frugally.

“of course! We are very interested in interaction with the Earth!”

Even as the frost dwarf king, there was no reason to refuse.

‘This is a big opportunity!’

The great man who came here a few days ago had already secretly spread quite a bit about Earth’s culture and technology to the frost dwarf race.

Moreover, since he took care of all the monsters that they considered troublesome, his favorability rating was maxed out even before diplomacy began.

‘I’m getting used to this because I do it too.’

Is it because I have crossed multiple dimensions in the meantime? Daein skillfully roasted and boiled a leader from another dimension.

Before dinner was over, the Frost Dwarf Kingdom had become Earth’s ally.

“Then, a formal alliance proposal….”

“Someone from our side will come soon.”

After finishing the meal and diplomacy, Daein returned to his lodgings with Lily.

Daein grabbed Lily’s back as she was about to go straight to the bed.

“kid. “Don’t lie down right after eating, but go and take a shower.”

“It’s annoying…”

“Quickly.”

Lily pursed her lips but obediently entered the bathroom. The moment the bathroom door closed, Daein dived onto the bed.

“Huh….”

I was tired.

I was so tired that I thought my whole body was melting. A song suddenly came out.

“Oh my gosh. “What sin did I commit in my past life to put me through all this trouble…”

Daein was a hero and there was no need for anything.

My dream was to retire quickly and have fun doing whatever I wanted to do.

“Is it really that difficult?…”

That simple goal has become the most difficult task in the universe.

If you want to enjoy a happy retirement life, you must first kill all the demon lords who invade Earth.

“Ugh.”

The great man looked at the ceiling and sighed. After lounging around for a while, I brought the watch on my left hand to my face.

‘I hope things are going well on Earth.’

ding ding ding.

When I activated the Star of Transcendence with a few simple touches, a wide hologram screen appeared before my eyes.

[Activate the Star of Transcendence.]

[Connect the Demon King’s supercomputer and server.]

[Connecting to the network….]

After a while, a holographic screen illuminated the inside of the Demon King’s Castle.

I could see the Combined Command Headquarters in a meeting. Leaders of each country and familiar faces were seen.

However, the atmosphere seemed more serious than I thought.

-…The gate numbers were far exceeded what was expected.

-It’s nothing but an anomaly…

-We need to take action quickly!

-Now we only have a few days to prepare…

People’s expressions looked anxious and nervous. The great man tilted his head in puzzlement.

“An anomaly?”

A few days later, the first ‘Hell Gate’ in the true sense of the word will open in the Great Basin Desert of the United States.

Strictly speaking, it was not a ‘Devil-level’ Hell Gate, but it was a catastrophe-level gate where numerous demonic beasts, monsters, and even high-ranking demons appeared.

A kind of advance party sent by the Demon Lords to gauge the power of the Earth.

Only by winning that first battle could humanity find any hope of withstanding Hell Gate.

‘But why… ‘I guess they gave you enough information?’

Ding ding ding –

Daein touched the screen to change the camera position.

The Demon King evolved into humanity’s best supercomputer system, and Daein was able to remotely control the Demon King “to some extent” using the Star of Transcendence from another dimension.

After a while, the holographic screen showed the Great Basin Desert.

“That is…”

An endless, desolate desert. On top of it, thousands of gates were created in a closed form like a cocoon.

The sizes of the gates varied.

From small enough for a single person to large enough to fit a high-rise building.

The number was much higher than what the Demon King supercomputer predicted a month ago.

“Vassago. No way, that bastard…”

The great man frowned and muttered lowly.

And then I immediately accessed the Demon King’s supercomputer and checked the gate numbers. It was much larger than expected.

gulp.

The great man swallowed his saliva.

‘At this level… it’s not just an advance party, it’s said that the Demon King himself could come.’

But is there a devil worthy of making such unreasonable moves?

Hell Gate has not yet expanded to the point where a demon king-level being can come and go at will.

If you force yourself to break through it, even if you are a demon lord, you will have to endure a significant loss of power.

‘Are there any other idiots like that other than Balaam?’

The great man’s head began to spin.

What exactly do those gate numbers mean?

If one of the demon lords comes, who will come?

“mister.”

Was Vassago involved again this time? Or one of the other overlords…

Nothing could be certain.

One thing was certain.

“mister?”

When the first battle begins like this, humanity will suffer much greater damage than expected.

“Damn it….”

“Mister!”

“…uh? uh.”

When I finally came to my senses and looked to the side, I saw Lily standing there with her hair still dry. There was a faint apple scent in my hair.

“Mister, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”

“That’s it…”

Daein thought for a moment and then spoke honestly.

“I think there’s a problem on Earth. “The gate reaction is much stronger than expected.”

Lily asked back with a surprised expression.

“Then shouldn’t we go help?”

“Hmm…”

The great man could not answer easily.

‘I haven’t collected all the jewels with the power of God yet.’

The secret weapon to deal with the demon kings has not yet been prepared.

If you go now, you will be able to stop the enemies that will appear in the Basin Great Desert, but it will take longer to find the final gem.

‘Should I move separately from the little one from now on?’

It was a time when Daein was seriously thinking about it.

Beep beep beep beep!

A notification suddenly rang from the Star of Transcendence.

Lily’s expression became tearful as she knew that such a notification would only sound when something special happened.

“no! What’s happening again!”

But at that moment, a bright smile appeared on the great man’s face.

“what. They both said it would take another month….”

I couldn’t tell if that was out of curiosity or if they were rushing to prepare to help Daein.

Anyway, Daein looked much more relaxed.

“kid. “We don’t have to go to Earth yet.”

“really?”

“uh. “Reinforcements will arrive from both sides soon.”

Both were very nice faces to see again.

***

On the outskirts of Seoul.

Jiiiiiiing!

The sudden large-scale reaction at the gate attracted the remaining civilians and police forces in Seoul.

“At a time like this…”

Most of the superhumans who could be called the elite were in the United States.

Therefore, the remaining troops in Seoul were very nervous about the large-scale gate that suddenly appeared.

After a while, a human horse walked out of the gate.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

A pure white horse without any blemishes.

The woman riding on it was, to put it cliché, a dazzlingly beautiful woman.

“…This is Earth.”

The ears have slightly pointed tips, adding to a mysterious aura that cannot be felt in humans.

The crown on top of her head suited her as if she had been wearing it since birth, and her actions and speech were extremely elegant.

“Wow….”

“Pretty….”

The superhumans who had been waiting for the monster looked at the woman in fascination as if they had been mentally attacked the moment they saw her.

“majesty. There may be danger that you don’t know about. Please step back.”

A middle-aged knight followed the woman out of the gate and stood to her right, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.

“Lord Leonard. “Why don’t you just look after it for today?”

A young man who appeared to be a wizard appeared to the woman’s left. he said in a playful voice.

“Don’t you know how hard your Highness worked to come here as quickly as possible? Plus, you put on makeup, which you didn’t do today…”

Then, the cheeks of the beauty in front turned slightly red.

“Count Hawkin! Please refrain from saying anything that could be misunderstood!”

Hawkin shrugged his shoulders and made eye contact with the old knight Leonard. Leonard clicked his tongue and spoke to his master.

“majesty. “The people here are waiting for your words.”

“Hmm. “Okay.”

The woman cleared her throat and looked around at the Earthlings (almost all men) who were looking at her dumbly.

“I am the king of the Hicks Kingdom. “My name is Alina von Reinhardt.”

“Ah… Yes…”

The gate’s field manager just nodded with a dumb expression.

Alina continued as if she was used to such reactions. The girl who was blushing just now disappeared, and her every movement and voice exuded natural dignity.

“At the request of the alliance, I came with 1,000 knights, 20,000 soldiers, 300 wizards selected from the home country, and 4,000 elves who received combat training. “These are the advance guard.”

Inside the gate, knights on horseback, heavily armed infantry, and wizards walked out proudly.

Higgs Kingdom.

It is a small country in the southeast of the Gaia continent, and until two years ago, it was a country that was ruined by civil war.

But in just one year, the situation changed.

The princess, who barely escaped the civil war, fled to the elven forest and later formed an alliance with the elves and succeeded in regaining her rightful throne.

The events leading up to her escape from the castle and her return as king were already talked about as legends on the Gaia continent.

Alina von Reinhardt.

Afterwards, she was evaluated as a famous military leader who led the Hicks Kingdom to revival through selection by the people and an active foreign policy.

“…Please tell that person.”

The girl who regained her kingdom after a year spoke with shining eyes.

“This time I’m here to help you.”

***

Around the same time, Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do.

Jiiiiiiing!

In response to the intense response at the gate, emergency callers and police forces had set up barricades and were waiting.

“What on earth is coming out of there…”

The superhumans swallowed their saliva and looked at the gate.

A gate shaking violently as if it were torn apart.

It meant that the being that would come out from there after a while contained an enormous amount of magical power.

“Ready to fire.”

At the words of the field manager, the soldiers all aimed their guns. The superhumans waited right behind the barricade with their weapons drawn.

It was a time when everyone was tense and watching the gate.

Jump and jump.

A young man who seemed to be reassured slowly walked out from inside.

He was a handsome young man with distinct features.

It was implicitly revealed that he had been educated in a prestigious family with a good appearance, a straight back, and neat clothing.

“Huh. “This place…”

The young man looked around with a curious face. Unlike his youthful appearance, the way he looked backwards like an old man was unusual.

A young man who does not own a single sword, but exudes a refined spirit as if he were a well-forged sword himself.

He was one of the three legends called Geomseong (劍星) in the martial arts world.

And after that,

“Brother. “How can you just jump in alone?”

“large. “I know you wanted to come here, but you should also think about your position and reputation…” The

big middle-aged man with a large sword on his waist grunted, and the middle-aged man with five spears on his back nagged and walked out for the first time. They stood to the left and right of the young man.

The three absolute masters, who are worshiped as living gods in the martial arts world, including

Sword

Saint, Moronghon, Sword King,

Jeokgunyang, and Shinchang, Ma Junggi, looked around with curious eyes.

“who…?”

“Is that a martial arts uniform?”

The people of Earth, who could not even guess their identities, could only blink and stare blankly.

A young man ran out of the gate, hurriedly following them.

“Master! What if you go first on your own?”

Geomsung looked at the young man who called him teacher with a mischievous expression.

“Cheongwoon. You, the leader, have many family members under your care, but am I not a free person? And your departure speech was so boring. “It’s so clumsy…”

“Is that what the person who recommended me to become the Murim Lord would say when he said he didn’t even want to do it!”

The youngest Murim lord in Murim history.

The Martial God Dragon Cheongwoon shouted at his teacher.

And behind him, the warriors of the Namgung family, the warriors of the Geomhwangmun family, and the elites of the Murim Alliance walked out of the gate and lined up.

“Brother….”

“Son-in-law! “I’m here!”

Namgung-hyeon and old man Jin were also seen emitting prayers that were incomparably stronger than a year ago, and they said,

‘Master. Sokha has come here.’

Meanwhile, Namgung Jeong-cheon (Bi-yeong), who had complete control over the five major families and worked in secret to help Mu Shin-ryong become the new Murim lord, was also seen.

“Let me ask you something.”

After organizing the warriors of Meng, Cheongun smiled politely at the Earth’s superhumans who still had no idea what to do.

I don’t know why, but his close friend told me to ask this question when I come to Earth.

“Is this… the country of the Pacheon Sword Emperor?”
