I am not a regressor episode 318
Faded Promise (10)
The fire burns.
Fierce and rough, as if it would devour the whole world.
The flames were swimming freely in the air as if they were alive, entwining the charging demons and burning their bodies.
“Aaaahhh!”
The thick smoke flowing out from burning flesh covered the cavity like fog on a mountain range in the sky.
Due to the heat that seemed to burn their souls, the demons could not even approach Ha-eun and screamed in pain.
“Bah, we have to kill that bitch quickly!”
Among them, there was a demon tribe that reached Ha-eun through the fire.
“Why are you calling me this bitch and that bitch from the first time you meet me?”
Ha-eun took a boxing stance and stepped lightly.
Although she had a stigmata that specialized in long-distance and ranged attacks, she also possessed enviable close-quarters martial arts skills thanks to her natural reflexes and consistent training.
Bah!
He jumped lightly, as if in rhythm, and struck a straight punch at the approaching demons.
With a crunching sound in the nose, the demon race that was running was thrown back.
“yes!”
The body is as light as a feather.
Even a lightly stretched out fist is loaded with tremendous power.
Taking brisk steps, he struck the demons running through the flames one by one with his fists.
“Kaaaa!”
A scream as terrifying as the roar of a demonic beast.
Swept up by the flames burning everywhere, the demons began to fall one by one.
“Wow, crazy. “I’m so f*cking strong, aren’t you coming?”
Ha-eun looks down at the fallen body of the demon with wide-open eyes, as if she can’t believe she did it herself.
When she was intoxicated by the exhilarating shiver running down her spine.
“Ugh!”
“uh? “What is it?”
One of the Demons, who was lying down with terrible burns all over his body, grabbed Ha-eun’s ankles.
Grumble!
Black clouds began to spew out from the horns on the demons’ foreheads.
“I’m dead… !”
When the black clouds flowing from the horn gathered into the hand that was clutching Ha-eun’s ankle.
Quack!
The black spear that flew at high speed pierced the demon’s head.
“… ah.”
“You can’t let your guard down until the end, sister.”
“Okay. sorry. “You seem too excited.”
Ha-eun scratches her head with a embarrassed expression, perhaps because she was disappointed with the ending.
Oh Jin let out an exclamation in his heart as he approached Ha-eun, who had transformed into the form of a dragon.
‘I’ve become incredibly strong.’
Originally, Ha-eun’s ‘last name’ itself was higher than Oh-jin’s.
In fact, she had the weakest strength among the group.
It was not because Ha-eun was lacking in skills, but because Isabella and Oh-jin had powers beyond the standard.
but.
‘I think the flame I just used is stronger than Isabella’s, isn’t it?’
To reduce as many as thirty demons to ashes in less than ten minutes.
That was impossible even as Ojin without using Gaecheon.
‘Now I won’t be able to follow my sister in dealing with the majority.’
From the beginning, Ha-eun had abilities optimized for the majority.
This time, as it absorbed the dragon’s soul, its power grew to the level of a strategic weapon.
‘It still seems like one-on-one isn’t enough.’
In terms of the game, Ha-eun is a type of wizard who pours out powerful magic from a long distance.
Although he was said to have learned some close combat skills, his skills were still lacking compared to a warrior who specialized in close combat like Ojin.
Although I may have let my guard down, I went into a state of panic just because a half-dead demon grabbed my ankle.
‘But as long as you have a strong front line to keep you safe.’
Ha-eun’s power is that of an awakened person who has reached level 11, or perhaps even higher.
“how is it? how is it? “Am I going to be a bitch?”
Ha-eun seemed to think that she had acquired tremendous power, and she raised her sassy attitude.
Oh Jin smiled and nodded.
“Are there any other symptoms?”
“Other symptoms?”
“huh. “The voice of the Dragon God resonates in my head.”
“hmm… No, there’s nothing like that.”
Ha-eun shakes her head.
“What about that body now?”
“Oh, this?”
She touched the red scales that covered the nape of her neck and part of her cheeks.

Slurp.
Ha-eun returns to her original human form as her scales are sucked into her body.
“I think this only happens when you use the power of the Dragon Eye.”
“Can you freely control that?”
“ok. Yongan is what I originally used. “It just gets a little tiring if you use it for a long time.”
then.
Does this mean that Ha-eun has now acquired enormous power without any risk or aftereffects?
Without even much effort.
Without any special trouble.
Like the main character who found a mystery in a cave that fell from a cliff.
‘What is this feeling?’
The feeling of looking at gears that do not mesh together.
Oh Jin frowned and chewed his lips with a somewhat nervous expression.
“Are you coming?”
“Oh sorry. never mind.”
I forced myself to cut off the thoughts that came into my head.
There was still work left to do.
It won’t be too late to think about it later.
“Huh… Black. “Mr. Kaleios.”
Kelion was still shedding tears, clutching the half-melted corpse of the Dragon God.
Ha-eun hesitated and approached Kelion.
“I… I’m sorry. “I didn’t know it would be like this.”
Although it wasn’t my intention.
Because the soul of the dragon god sleeping in the soul stone accidentally resided in Ha-eun, it seemed certain that the dragon god died without being able to wake up from his sleep.
“… no. “I was the one who brought the dragon maiden here.”
Kelion, who was shedding tears, shook his head with a helpless expression.
He broke the barrier with his own hands and brought her to the place where the Dragon God was sleeping, but now he couldn’t blame her.
If you are responsible.
It must be because he was helpless and could not do anything while the dragon god was dying before his eyes.
“Let’s move outside first.”
I wanted to leave the disappointed Kelion alone for a bit longer.
As long as there were still demons invading the kingdom, there was no way to waste time here.
‘Even if fifty people die here, there are still that many more left.’
If you include the legions of demonic beasts that did not come to the rare side, their power would be greater than that.
and.
‘None of those who came to Rare were at the executive level.’
Like Kalyke, who Ojin faced in the Kingdom of Khan, these are executive-level demons with greater power than ordinary demons.
There must be a commander leading a group of over 100 demons, but he did not appear here in Lair.
‘There is no way this many people would have invaded the kingdom without a commander.’
He is probably still outside commanding the remaining demonic troops.
‘If only I could join Isabella.’
Now that Ha-eun has received the power of the Dragon God.
If we can join the dragon tribe led by Isabella, it will be possible to completely drive out the demon tribe from the kingdom.
‘Let me contact Isabella first.’
Ohjin took out a communication relic from his chest.
at that time.
Wooooow.
Did they even have feelings for each other?
Before Ojin could contact me, a communication came from Isabella.
-Did you succeed in awakening the dragon god?
Isabella suddenly asks if the Dragon God has awakened.
“No, waking up the dragon god failed.”
-yes? You failed?
A voice full of embarrassment.
“I’ll tell you later. “How’s the situation outside?”
-But that’s why I contacted you because I had something to tell you.
Isabella continued speaking in a low voice.
-Now the Majin troops are retreating.
“what?”
Suddenly the Majin troops are retreating?
“… “What do you mean?”
-I don’t know either. Just a moment ago, some troops were chasing us… They said they suddenly received an order to retreat and are rushing out of the kingdom. So I thought Mr. Ojin succeeded in awakening his dragon spirit.
Is that why you were embarrassed when you were told you failed?
“Anyway, does this mean that the Majin troops have retreated now?”
-yes. The Yongin people are in a very festive mood, saying that the Dragon God has awakened from his sleep.
“… … .”
A feeling of discomfort spread, as if a grain of sand was being chewed.
Now, should we pour cold water on them who are excited about the festival atmosphere by going out and saying that the dragon god actually died without being able to wake up?
“… “I’ll tell you, Ozina.”
“Sister?”
“huh. “Even if you say it, I think I should say it.”
Ha-eun clenched her fists with a stern look on her face.
“… “I will go with you.”
Kelion stood up, supporting himself with his cane.
“… … .”
Oh Jin looked at the back of Ha-eun and Kelion walking toward the outside of the lair with a bitter expression.
The war was won.
There were few casualties, and the lost kingdom was regained.
but.
Their god, whom they had been anxiously waiting for for the past hundred years, will never open his eyes again.
From now on, forever.
* * *
However, the kingdom was recovered from the hands of the demons.
The atmosphere within the kingdom was so dark that it was reminiscent of a mourning house.
The death of the dragon god.
It was a bigger shock to the Yongin people than Ojin expected.
Not a god that we abstractly believe in and follow.
The Yongin people fell into great despair at the death of the merciful god who actually sacrificed his life for them in the past.
The Yongin people, who seemed to have lost the will to restore their broken kingdom, were sitting on the streets like dolls whose souls had been taken away.
“Huh… “Huh!”
“Kaleios… How can you leave us… .”
“I was hoping you would wake up… !”
The sound of wailing echoing throughout the kingdom did not cease even as several days passed.
Although they won the war, they looked like defeated soldiers.
For them, the existence of the dragon god Kaleios was literally ‘hope’.
The despair that filled the place where hope had disappeared engulfed the Yongin tribe faster than any other disease.
Among them, there are even Yongin people who make extreme choices.
“ha. “How do you really do this?”
Ha-eun let out a deep sigh as if she was frustrated.
Just today, as many as three Yongin people committed suicide.
“… “Is God that important?”
Ha-eun, squatting on the bed, muttered as if she couldn’t understand.
Isabella stroked Ha-eun’s shoulder as if comforting her.
“For the dragon people, the existence of the dragon god is closer to a parent than a god.”
A being who stayed until the end to protect those who were nothing more than slaves.
To the dragon people, the dragon god Kaleios was more than just a god they believed in and followed.
The only hope and salvation.
The pillar that had supported them for a hundred years had collapsed, so it was no wonder they fell into such deep despair.
“And the dragon people are a race that was born to worship the dragon in the first place, right?”
It is engraved in their lives and souls.
The mindset that you can only survive by serving someone.
“They have dragons… “We definitely need a ‘God’ to believe in and follow.”
but.
That god is already dead.
“… “There is no way.”
A deep sigh flowed from Ha-eun’s mouth.
“No, there is a way.”
“ok? “What way?”
Oh Jin, who had been sitting quietly in a chair and lost in thought, stood up.
He gently placed his hand on Ha-eun’s shoulder and spoke softly.
“Sister can become ‘God’.”
If God died.
All you have to do is create a new god.
