Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Modrea]

Ouch!

Each time the light flashed, the monster split in half.

“Haha! Come on, you guys!”

Leonard let out a lively laugh and swung his sword. A sword with an Auror blade. He was showing off the sword he had dreamed of his whole life to the monsters of the foggy forest.

“Hahaha!”

Daein, who was following behind him, sighed and said.

“Can’t you fight quietly? “All the monsters around will come.”

Despite the adult’s complaints, Leonard looked as excited as a child.

“ha ha ha! What if everyone comes together! All I have to do is kill it with my Auror Blade! Like this!”

Leonard, who now looks more like a middle-aged man than an old man, cuts the rushing zombie elf in half at the waist.

Sigh!

However, the opponent is undead. A zombie elf, cut in half, crawled over, dragging its upper body with both arms.

Grrr…!

The great man aimed the muzzle of Zeus’ gun at the forehead of the zombie elf crawling towards him.

“If you’re going to do it, make sure you finish it properly.”

Taang!

The body of the zombie elf with a hole in its head went limp.

Leonard saw that and laughed cheerfully.

“ha ha ha! “I left it here because I thought you might get bored if I took care of everything!”

Then he rushed alone towards the approaching zombies.

“Come! “Swordmaster Leonard will take care of them all!”

Sigh! Sigh!

Daein looked at Leonard with a puzzled expression as he wandered through the forest of fog alone.

“I’m so excited. “I’m excited.”

Thanks to that, it was comfortable.

Thanks to Leonard’s awakening as a Sword Master, Daein has only had to find his way properly ever since entering the Fog Forest.

Then once in a while,

“Hey old man!” That’s not it! “Don’t go in chasing monsters!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

I had to yell at an immature old man who kept trying to go the other way.

Hawkin said, coming next to Daein.

“Don’t say too much.”

Hawkin’s face, looking at Leonard, was filled with relief that he was glad that he was healthy and envy.

“You died and then came back to life. Besides, if you achieve the level you’ve dreamed of your whole life, that kind of reaction is nothing.”

Hawkin looked at Leonard with envy.

Sword Master.

It may not be the same, but in terms of magicians, Leonard had reached the level of a 7th circle archmage.

And the person who helped him achieve enlightenment was…

Hawkin spoke secretly to Daein.

“Hmm. He said he read a book to Sir Leonard…”

What on earth was written in that book with those strange letters that made a dying person awaken into a sword master?

As a curious wizard, Hawkin was so curious about the contents that he went crazy.

And if the great man reads the contents of the book to himself…

‘I might be able to become a great wizard too!’

“Wake up from your dream. “You can’t.”

The great man shattered Hawkin’s hopes with a few short words.

“yes? But…”

“The old man just needed an opportunity to overcome the wall, and you still have a long way to go.”

Being a 5th circle wizard at a young age was clearly quite a talent. However, several more steps were needed for Hawkin to become an archmage.

“And that’s a book written by a prosecutor. “I don’t have a book written by an archmage.”

‘I’m thinking of getting one, though.’

The man didn’t bother to say anything. Instead, he found his way by comparing his memories with the old map of the Foggy Forest that the Grand Elder had given him.

“First of all, this way… But where did this manic old man go in the meantime?!”

Laughter was heard from far away beyond the fog.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

***

Master Leonard Hawkin.

Half a day has passed since the three men entered the foggy forest.

Daein took his group and covered the forest of fog in the shortest possible distance.

I was able to find my way without difficulty after combining the map of the old forest I received from the elder before coming and my memories of having been there in the past.

After swinging his sword until he was exhausted, Leonard calmed down a little and looked around at the head of the group and said,

“The fog is getting thicker.”

Ssssssut.

As we entered the forest, the fog became thicker, so much so that we could no longer see objects even several meters in front of us.

Of course, it was not a big problem for Daein and Leonard, who had all their five senses developed to a superhuman level.

And Hawkin was also wearing infrared vision goggles taken from the steel carriage.

Hawkin said, looking around.

“I don’t see any monsters around.”

The great man lowered his voice a little and said.

“The further you go inside, the fewer monsters there are. Instead, it will get stronger, so don’t relax.”

Ssssssut.

An ominous fog passed by, grazing the skin of the three people.

Hawkin trembled at that unpleasant feeling.

“Ugh…”

This fog merely gave a creepy feel to the three humans, but to the elves, it was a fatal poison and curse.

Elves who enter this fog experience extreme hallucinations and fear, and eventually turn into zombies and wander through the fog.

“wait for a sec.”

The great man discovered a rock that remained in his long memories.

“…I guess I came to the right place.”

The rock resembled the face of an elf. And there were numerous knife marks carved on it.

Traces of someone carving an elf’s face into a rock and cutting it into pieces countless times.

It was a place where the emotions of the person who created this foggy forest could be vividly felt.

Leonard frowned when he saw the rock.

“That’s terrible.”

The great man looked around and said.

“Let’s take a short rest here. “I also do some maintenance.”

The three took a break for the first time since leaving. I sat leaning against a rock, filled my stomach, and checked my weapons and armor.

When there was a moment to spare, Leonard brought up another story.

“This fog. “I heard that it has been a nuisance to the elves for over hundreds of years.”

It was Leonard who met Princess Alina and heard her story before leaving.

The great man nodded without thinking.

“that’s right. Because it actually threatens the safety of the elves. “Once this fog disappears, it will feel like a tooth has fallen out.”

At that moment, Leonard and Hawkin simultaneously exclaimed, “Indeed!” He burst out in exclamation.

“you! “How on earth did you come up with all that?”

“As expected, you are amazing!”

There was something strange about the reaction, so the man tilted his head.

Why are these two looking at them with such respect?

“What are you talking about?”

It was a look in his eyes that said he knew everything even without saying anything. Leonard said, patting the great man on the shoulder.

“Thank you so much. When I see you working so hard for your princess…”

“What should I do?”

As the great man looked at him with puzzlement, Leonard laughed and continued.

“The trick is. “Isn’t the intention to solve the problem of the Forest of Fog so that the elves will regard us as their benefactors?”

“By the way. But what does that have to do with the princess…”

Before Daein could finish speaking, Hawkin shouted out the correct answer like a student appearing on a quiz show.

“Then the elves will be fond of us. Our grand plan will also be faster! “You calculated everything, right?”

…It’s not?

Did you come here to build a villa in the elf forest later? As a bonus, I came here because I had something to take with me?

The great man did not particularly feel the need to provide more help for the princess.

‘It would be enough if you did this much. I have to take care of my future life.’

But Leonard and Hawkin had different ideas. They thought that Daein was trying to solve the problem of the Fog Forest to help them.

And I guessed the reason.

‘I guess that’s it, right?’

‘No problem. There is no other reason than that.’

The two men exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.

Hawkin said, lowering his voice.

“I’m just saying that there are only men here.”

Lily was still recovering,

Youngshin Jang was clinging to her side, and

Alina, a half-elf, was not allowed in here.

Therefore, this party consisted of only three men. And two of them decided to give one person a push.

“Our princess. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

“…….”

Daein wondered if this was some kind of modification, but decided to listen quietly for now.

Hawkin continued, his eyes sparkling.

“As you know, her beauty is the best on the continent. Moreover, you are excellent at civil affairs and you are a half-elf, so you do not age well. These conditions are nowhere near…”

Daein asked back with an expression of bewilderment.

“What did you come out to sell? “What do you want to say?”

On the other side, Leonard nudged the great man’s side and whispered softly.

“Hmm. “It means we will build a bridge.”

Hawkin took over and spoke.

“To be honest…”

Secretly.

The two people gradually brought their buttocks closer together with Daein in the middle.

Hawkin, who was now uncomfortably close to Daein, covered his lips with his finger as if he were telling a top secret of the state.

“Actually, it seems like the princess doesn’t have feelings either.”

“…what?”

To be more honest, Alina seemed to have a lot of heart. However, the two men decided to boost the pride of their lord.

Leonard said quietly.

“It’s not impossible if you try hard. What is the difference in social status? Isn’t this a difficult time?”

Hawkin also said with his eyes shining.

“So from now on, just trust us.”

Hehehe….

Between the two men smiling sinisterly on either side, the great man looked beyond the fog in front and sighed.

“Ugh.”

As Daein stood up from his seat, the two men looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

‘Why is the reaction like that?’

‘I thought you would definitely like it?’

Slurp.

The great man said as he pulled Shalit from his belt.

“Stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight. “It is the enemy.”

After a while, strange shapes of shadows appeared in the fog.

Grrr….

Grrr….

At that moment, Leonard and Hawkin also jumped up. Leonard shouted as he ran out with his sword drawn.

“I’ll handle it! Let’s deal with it quickly and finish what we were talking about!”

Whick!

Leonard arrived in front of the shadow in an instant and swung his sword. His sword had a thin auror blade.

At that moment, something unexpected happened.

Cough!

“!!”

Leonard’s eyes widened as the Auror Blade blocked. However, like a veteran knight, he quickly retreated.

A deformed long arm swung towards where he was standing.

Scrap,

part of Leonard’s breastplate was scraped off by sharp nails, and soon strange-shaped elves appeared through the fog.

Grrr…

Grrr….

I could see strange stitch marks on my beautiful face. It was the same with the body. The limbs were deformed, like a poorly repaired stuffed toy.

Monsters that can hardly be called elves.

There were a total of three monsters, each emitting strange magical power.

The great man stepped forward and said.

“Chimera elf. “The weak point is the spirit stone embedded in the center of the chest, so aim for it well.”

Wooooow!

The Chimera Elves began emitting spirit power all at once.

Red, blue and yellow.

Chimera elves whose skin is dyed in various colors.

However, the Great Man’s gaze was not directed at the Chimera Elf, but behind him.

Although the Chimera Elves were tricky, they were not so difficult that you couldn’t deal with them if you knew their weaknesses.

If Leonard and Hawkin join forces, they will be able to deal with him.

“The problem is the guy behind me… He showed up sooner than I expected.”

Slurp.

A pure white naked elf walked out, pushing away the thick fog from side to side.

Ebony-like hair that reaches down to the waist.

In contrast, a clean body without any blemishes.

In its hand was a large bow.

The great man watched the movement of the great bow in the elf’s hand.

I’ve personally seen him pierce dozens of superhumans with that bow before.

The great man even knew the name of that elf.

“Modrea.”

When his name was called, Mordrea tilted his head.

A doll made by the great wizard Dreitz, who settled in this land a thousand years ago.

The shape was modeled after the elf that the wizard Draitz loved and hated the most.

The story became known later when Dreitz’s dungeon was excavated by Earth’s superhumans and the diary he left behind was revealed to the world.

He later became a character so popular that it was made into a drama on Earth.

“…Well, that’s for later.”

Mordrea, who is in front of me now, was the strongest guardian protecting the Fog Forest.

Tsutsutsutsu.

The great man spoke to the two people behind him without taking his eyes off Mordrea, who was drawing the power of the spirit.

“You two take charge of the chimera elf. I’ll take care of that one.”
