Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 92

A small canyon in the Great Desert several kilometers away from the entrance to the ruins.

There was a small vibration in the place that had stagnated without change even decades ago or hundreds of years ago.

Immediately after that, the ground shattered, mixing two seals.

“Are you going to die now?”

Bjornna’s smirking voice echoed in the darkness. Even as the sand flew and the stone fragments of the ruins were scattered, she was nowhere to be seen.

Zachnir’s body was covered in a dazzling brilliance, pushing the shadows away.

On the elongated light, his feet were dyed like ink, and a seal rose.

“Baby, are your skills much weaker than you were three years ago?”

“You don’t seem to have changed that much from before, but… .”

Jacques hurriedly twisted his body. A blade protruded through the wall of the minefield he had spread out.

It didn’t end there.

A ghastly blade passed his cheek.

Drops of blood splattered on the blade that rose from the shadow below his chin.

Zachnir managed to dodge the attack by twisting his jaw, and then scattered thousands of spheres in all directions.

faan-

As the air bursts, everything within the radius is ground to dust. Bjorn I disappeared at one point, and she walked leisurely under the shadow of the cliff.

“Oh, I am here. Where are you aiming?”

As she spoke with a smirk, Jacquesnir bit her lip and glared at her.

Again, that attack.

A means of penetrating his own defense.

It is so-called because it can block any kind of attack, whether physical, magical, or even mental.

“… … Mosquitoes keep sticking around.”

“Oh, so? Then can I help you?”

But her attack was different.

“No, you don’t need it. It’s because I’m the kind of person who takes care of things on their own.”

As long as there was a shadow, no matter how small the shadow, a blade rose from it.

A blade of shadow that transcends the limits of space and distance.

He didn’t know where the attack was coming from, so it was best for him to barely react.

As he answered with a steady face throughout, she walked around with a gentle graceful gait.

“Why do you look like that? Anyone who sees me will think I’m harassing you, sweetheart.”

Byonna’s eyebrows curved nicely. Her attitude was full of victorious leeway.

If it was natural, it was natural. Consistently she had her dominance throughout their battles.

Jacquesnir was a master of defense, so he endured until now, but there was little chance that his waiting would lead to victory.

“… So you’re saying no?”

“I? no way.”

She covered her mouth exaggeratedly, as if she had heard it wrong, and shook her head with a genuinely innocent look.

“Maybe there was some misunderstanding?”

The corners of Zachnir’s lips trembled at that abominable attitude.

“… How much age difference are you going to tell me not to?”

“Well? Isn’t it at least a year or two difference?”

he smirked

It’s been decades since she’s been in the Eight Rivers. How long has she been reigning as the queen of the shadows, but she has such an attitude.

“Aren’t you ashamed to say that yourself?”

“It’s a shame, to regain such a young body-.”

“—Grandmother is swearing.”

Instantly, the fur stood up. Byonna’s smile disappeared.

Her body melted into a shadow.

Kudduk-

A large sword engulfed the dark red Auror and shattered the space. Her seat was shattered in an instant, leaving a small pit.

But she was one step late.

A few steps away, Byonna appeared on the back of her shoulder with a rough wound that looked like an animal had been bitten.

“King of the Beasts!”

Her expression turned cold and she looked up at the canyon.

Above the canyon stood Inyeong of a huge body with her back against the night sky. A deep contempt faded across Gaion’s face.

He jumped out of the canyon. A small wind of sand flew by the side of the sword, revealing its strong white ears.

“Grandpa, are you out of your mind? Do you want to die at that age? With senility… ttt.”

He grabbed the handle of the bayonet with a look that he couldn’t see. His appearance changed Jacquesnir’s eyes greatly.

“How do you… .”

“Little girl, it’s something you’re really good at, like being pushed by a senile old woman.”

Jacquesnir’s face turned red at his sarcasm. But there was also a sense of shame. How could she have known that she would show up with her revenge after three years?

“… I was just distracted for a while. If you stick again, the result will be different… .”

“It’s called skill.”

Gaion cut off his words, but Jacquesnir did not respond because what he said was true.

I just promise with my hardened eyes that this will not happen next time.

“Beast King, how did you get here? There’s no way my movements could have been caught… .”

As soon as she noticed something, her expression changed in an instant, and she threw the blade that had turned into a shadow at a nearby rock.

The rock neatly shattered in two, and a small wolf illusion appeared from within.

“… Tracking magic?”

Ga-on responded with a cool smile to her self-talk.

“It’s great magic. Its name is Wolf Hunting. How are you doing? This old man named it himself.”

Gaion opened her mouth with a smirk, and she murmured as she stared down the basement.

“… Professors do it first.”

The problem was that he was concerned about the Academy’s retaliation for nothing, and that he agreed to the idea of ​​only sealing it.

Guys like Jacques.

There was no part that I liked from start to finish because it was probably not from the same family members.

“So, since we said goodbye, let’s try it until the end. It’s been a long time.”

In Gaion’s mouth, sharp teeth showed a vicious appearance.

Her face turned like ice. The assassin is always in control of his emotions. Her Ga-Aeon’s provocation was insignificant to her standing at the apex.

But apart from that, I couldn’t help but assess the situation.

‘It’s a shame to leave like this… .’

At least a serious injury, or more, a fatal injury.

If it was difficult to kill him, he wanted to give Zachnir the degree of humiliation he had received. But will he be able to pierce the Ga-ion and injure him?

‘If you risk your life, one arm. More than that is impossible.’

Even if she was a perfect woman, she had exhausted her stamina while fighting Zachnir, so she didn’t want to deal with him who was in the top three of her arms.

“… … ha. Is luck with your baby?”

Three years of humiliation.

Due to her injury, the power she had built up was torn apart, and her subordinates took advantage of this opportunity to steal her property. Now, all kinds of bastards are fighting a war claiming that they are the new rulers of the shadows.

What she had built her whole life was lost in a single defeat.

Because of that, it was a signal to announce his comeback, and he was aiming for a surprise attack in order to get revenge… .

“I don’t think today is a day. I can’t help it. See you later, baby?”

“Grandmother, where are you going after an argument?”

Gaion’s momentum exploded wildly.

He had not been able to fight like a battle in the last few years, and he wanted to fight. A dizzying battle to the point of dividing life and death. He wanted to feel that bliss.

She smiled broadly at the sight of him who didn’t seem to let her go.

“Oh my, are you okay? Would the babies be in danger?”

Her fingers point to the falling Bedrpolnir from the sky. It looked like a scene where a monster was attacking from the sky just in time.

“Does not matter. A child’s quarrel You know how much… .”

“Gaion.”

Zachnir grabbed Gaion’s shoulder.

“I must go. That monster is still in its early stages for students. Many students must have already died.”

“Those who die die, those who live live.”

As he made a blurred expression, Gaion sighed and calmed the momentum.

“Ttt, I thought it was going to be a fight-like fight for a long time, but… .”

He knew it too.

That monster may not be a big deal to you, but it’s still too early for students.

It had been a long time since I had tried to force myself into a fight that could be called a battle.

“good. There is no next.”

“Hey, that’s my mind. hello darling Oh, because I prepared a present for you—”

Her body seeped into the shadow of the cliff and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“―Let’s get it on our own.”

At the end of her voice, her presence completely disappeared. It may not be possible to relax, but it would be nice if the immediate threat was gone.

At the end of the direction she was pointing, the former members of Jacqueline’s family waited anxiously for the outcome of the battle.

Zachnir’s face grew heavy.

“Baby, do you need more hands?”

“it’s okay. Because I am the type of person who handles my work myself… .”

His tone was filled with a spirit that he did not reveal even when he was fighting Byonna.

“Alone is enough.”

“Then I’ll go help the children.”

Zachnir nodded once and made his way through the canyon.

Gaion looked in the direction he was going and shook his head. If you don’t finish cleaning the house, you’re going to have a problem like that.

“… Isn’t this what this body is supposed to say?”

He glanced at the stars falling from the sky for a moment and then smashed the ground.

The end of a long and protracted event was approaching.

corpses in a miserable state. If it had been before Allen had been with them, it would have been unrecognizable. Not even a single person was visible.

The ruins may have been broken as the Bedrepolnir protruded, so the passageway was full of fallen fragments.

Time began to turn back.

The fragments of the broken ruins return to their original places, and the monsters and the guardians of the ruins walk behind them.

The wounds on the corpse are healed, and the broken equipment returns to its original state.

Allen stared blankly at them as they turned into people with warm warmth in just one breath.

The clock hand, which had been turned upside down, turned back in the forward direction, and time began to flow.

The first was spatial movement.

[Hey, I’m surprised… .]

[Everyone be careful… large.]

[William!]

Unable to come to their senses due to the sudden movement, they reacted a bit late to the attack of the guardian of the ruins who were standing next to them.

[William, are you okay?]

The Guardian was belatedly killed, but William was already seriously wounded.

They quickly healed the wounds with potions. However, William’s complexion, which had accumulated fatigue from wandering around the ruins for several dozen hours, was already tired.

[I’m fine, I’m fine. First, understand the situation… .]

But the situation did not end there.

Kugugugung-

The ruins were constantly shaking, and monsters and the guardians of the ruins poured out like a powerful stream of water from the other side of the passage.

Evan and Ariel, whose complexion had changed, blocked the passage as much as possible and endured.

[Evan! Hang on a little bit!]

[Ahhh, I got it! Don’t worry, you can endure it!]

Evan presented the family vision. It was a neat technique with no fuss.

But it was not enough.

[Don’t overdo it now, when will you do it!]

Even though Ariel showed more than her ability, it wasn’t enough to kill all the people who poured in endlessly.

[Baroque!]

In the end, Evan was able to breathe only after mobilizing the family relics.

But the situation was grim and showed no signs of improving. When this happened, Allen understood bitterly.

‘… You’re out of luck.’

That was literally it.

A communal area on the 7th floor.

Arriving at that place at that time was a coincidence, and the spatial movement at that time was also unexpected.

The same is the case with monsters and ruin guardians flocking to the space moved like that.

It was just an accident that happened due to overlapping bad luck.

[William, are you interested in me? So I’m a little worried about it… , yes?]

[Now, stop joking around. Isn’t it an emergency… .]

Accepting their death, Allen silently watched their end.

[See you after this work.]

[that… .]

[Only the two of us.]

As they showed their usual appearance in difficult circumstances, Allen smiled faintly.

Just as they were preparing for their end, Evan opened his mouth.

[Someone is coming this way.]

The moment Allen turned his head in a puzzled mind, he heard a voice.

A voice I will never forget.

[Uh, is there anyone?]

A characteristic blue-haired man walked out of the alleyway in the alley.

[Sa, it’s a human!]

[That hair color is… Reinhardt?]

[If it’s a Reinhardt other than Allen… Julius.]

Julius paused for a moment at the voice calling his name. Oddly enough, no one noticed him even though he was among the monsters.

It was the Cloak of the Broken Hideout, a hidden piece he obtained from the Academy.

[…] do you know me?]

[Yes, I know. Aren’t you Allen’s younger brother?]

[Can you help me more than that? I will definitely do the case.]

At their request, Julius rolled his eyes. Julius glanced at them and looked into the air in front of him.

[…] Well, it’s a waste of time.]

[Yes?]

[No, what do you mean… .]

Julius stared at them with an annoyed face. They seem to be Allen’s crew, but if he’s with him, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

[There are no supporting actors to take care of.]

After examining them with his rainbow magic eyes, he made a decision.

[Try to solve it with yourselves~ No, wait a minute… .]

Julius, who was about to ignore them, looked at the direction Dong-dong was heading and nodded.

[Because you can attract the nerves of monsters and guardians while collecting hidden pieces… .]

Julius remembered. The humiliation suffered by the nobles in the replenishment class.

‘What? No dignity? Don’t you look like a noble? Are you an asshole compared to your brother?’

The sounds that came out after the coolly won duel. Was it savage or severe? What does a duel have to do with it?

After that, he tried to maintain a good reputation as well.

‘It’s the same even though I formally apologized and even reconciled.’

It was difficult to remove the bridle once put on it. Without Dongdong, it would have been difficult to take off the image of a maniac.

He took out a small box from a small subspace he had obtained from the auction house.

As one of the objects used in battle, it was a tool that drew attention by making a loud sound.

[Attract your gaze. I’m going to die anyway, can you give me that much?]

[No, what is that!]

[…] What would happen if you knew your brother did this… !]

A loud sound of firecrackers echoed through the aisle, attracting monsters.

[Noisy, it won’t be known anyway, so what does it matter?]

Monsters began to flock. As if the summoning time for the giant clams Evan had summoned was over, it began to fade.

[Then fight until the end, bye-bye~]

Julius walked towards the other passage at the fork in a sneering voice.

The duration of the Ancient Relic has ended.

[Evan, what should I do… !]

[William, even you live. I’ll stop for a while-]

[No, I will stop. You two run away-]

Evan resisted to the end, as he had promised. However, the resistance did not last as long as he thought.

His arm was about to be grabbed, and in an instant it was torn. Through that gap, monsters flocked in.

Awkward-

There were no wills like those found in novels. His body was torn apart, and his shape changed to be unrecognizable.

Next was Ariel.

[William, I don’t think we’ll ever meet.]

[Eriel, come on, wait, no, no-]

She carried a pile of arrows in subspace and rushed with her magical power. Her body exploded, firing tens of thousands of arrow fragments forward.

William ran away with a contorted face.

But there was no miracle like someone appeared to help. Reality was cold.

Crumpled-

Shortly thereafter, a blunt blow from behind smashed his spine.

[I, I must live… .]

Kusik-

Dozens of knives were stuck in his body, which was moving even while crawling.

[Carl, Jenny, Evan, Ariel, Al… .]

The pupil of the twinkling light darkened.

William’s breath stopped.

At the end, Allen’s name was never called until the end.

Finally, Allen’s consciousness returned to his body.

Unlike the first, the marble turned gray and lost its light.

A sound was heard.

[Evan is arrogant on the outside, but soft on the inside. He always tries to play perfection so as not to bother him because of him.]

“Allen, you found it. Someone found you… .”

[Eriel has high self-esteem, but she likes to joke around a lot. do you know that You deliberately said misleading things to see the reactions of me and Evan-sama.]

[Allen is… It was fair. Even though he was in the second seat, he did not discriminate against anyone. It really helped me a lot in the beginning. all really… You are a good person. So much that I hesitated to fit in.]

“Are you okay? The condition is so… .”

[If I only talk about other people’s evaluations, it’s a little bit, so I… I am looking for my sister. Did I say I’m an orphan?]

[I am looking for my sister who was sold into slavery in the past. I came to the academy recklessly for that. Of course, I was a little lost at first, but… .]

“Baby, the technology you used… .”

[I think I can find it now. I can only think of the name, but I can only remember that I have wavy black hair like mine.]

sound was heard

[You will surely find it someday.]

dark night. bonfire. colleague. secret. each other’s dreams. and death.

The sound stopped.

“-Ah.”

There was no more sound.

I couldn’t hear it again.
