Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 94

A nobleman considers many things before doing one thing.

The immediate benefits and the consequences of taking action, the consequences and what the future results will be.

They are taught to think about everything from an early age, and are trained so that they can blend naturally into their daily lives.

This is the monarchy of the nobility.

The driving force that widens the gap between commoners and aristocrats as the generations pass, and enables any heir to assume the role of head of state when he reaches the age of full maturity.

Gradually, as technology developed and the times changed, the importance of commoners increased and it was possible to use it for other things, but it was not enough to raise their voices yet.

As heir to the Reinhardt family, Allendo was educated in caesarean.

That’s why, in always planning one thing, I tried to handle multiple things at the same time.

That was the second time, right after the regression, the trend got worse.

What will happen in a few months, what will happen in a few years.

We tried to prepare for the future, not the present, by making plans for months and years rather than days or weeks.

The same goes for this one.

From the moment Allen planned to come to the academy, he couldn’t help but think about the future.

Until now, the gap with Julius was not that large. Rather, it is a level where Allen has a clear advantage.

But what if a few more years pass?

‘It’s pushed.’

That could be certain.

Allen was well aware of his talent. Eight rings are the result of immersing himself in only one magic, making sacrifices at the end of his life.

The eighth rank, which is not even a half-size, is deformedly biased toward one side.

It was a situation that could not be guaranteed if it was a head-to-head match even in the hierarchy below one or two.

I knew it because I had already struggled to the limit of my talent once, or even beyond it.

On the other hand, Julius?

‘It grows endlessly.’

It was the same in the dungeon practice this time.

He gained the power of the stigma of a star, which he had never expected, and ran wild.

In order to prevent the growth of the gnome, Allen took as much compensation as possible, and obtained the dragon core and the body of a giant by stealing Bestla and various other equipment.

If you do your best even now, you will be able to defeat even those who have just reached the 7th rank.

‘But what if it’s an ordinary 7th rank?’

If you get close somehow, the win rate is half and half, and if you don’t get close, it’s best to aim for a draw.

From the 7th rank, you enter the realm of the real superman.

It is a world of people who are born as mere creatures and break the limits of their original nature.

It was difficult to set foot in that world unless you had the ability of the same 7th rank.

Of course we don’t know the future.

The giant’s body may grow bigger than it is now, and it’s unknown how strong Jotunsverd’s second half will be as Vestla teaches.

‘Nevertheless.’

Allen had no choice but to be prepared.

His true purpose was to find the true soul of Julius in addition to killing Julius.

As the latter made no progress, he had to widen the gap with Julius in order to earn that time.

So, this was what I had planned since I was in the estate.

‘Make Linbell become acquainted with the granddaughter of the Beast King.’

She is in a weak state because of past events, and she has no talent for both Aurors and Magic.

What if she approached Linbell, strengthened her acquaintance, and contacted the ring bridge and healed her constitution using their powers?

It is okay to have a relationship with the King of the Beasts like that, but it was the best result if you went further and became a disciple.

At the same time, he obtained the qualifications of the apostles of the circle church and gained some of their power.

‘If you succeed, you can widen the gap and buy more time. But if you fail… The enemy increases.’

So it was a gamble.

Illyana kept her mouth shut until Linbell finished trimming Allen’s hair and served her refreshments.

“… Do you have anything else to say?”

“No, I was just curious.”

She looked at Allen with an observant gaze for a while, then tilted her head as if she did not understand.

“I can’t quite figure out why they sent Linbell to me.”

Linbell’s body, who was preparing the car, trembled at the sound.

She had a surprised expression on her face without realizing it, and then immediately turned back, but that reaction alone knew that Illyana was right.

“Why do you think so?”

Unlike Linbell, Allen was not embarrassed by her words.

Because I thought she might notice. It would be nice if she wasn’t caught, but it doesn’t matter if she gets caught.

In the first place, I didn’t think that Linbell’s bubbly personality would never go unnoticed.

“It’s simple. There is no benefit.”

“No benefit?”

She nodded as if it was natural. Illyana opened her mouth, pointing at herself with her finger.

“First of all, you are not, Confucius… .”

“Call me comfortably.”

“Confucius must have approached Linbel knowing that I was the granddaughter of the Beast King. Wrong?”

Allen nodded. In fact, except for him, the real high-ranking forces, including her vice-president, knew her true identity.

“I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“No, it’s not very unpleasant. It’s not the first time something like this has happened… We got along quite well together.”

As she said those words, she glanced at Linbell. After Linbell noticed her expression, she was keeping an eye on Allen, so she didn’t see it.

‘Are you really close to your surprise?’

This was something he hadn’t even thought of.

“By the way, why is that not an advantage?”

“Grandpa, no, the Beast King has no interest in me.”

As she said that, there was a hint of deep self-help on her face.

“Mixed human and beast, in such a subject, both magical powers and auras are not qualified, and the physical abilities are not good. Until you have the opposite idea.”

She quickly returned her expression and continued explaining.

“The King of the Beast is not someone who will do a favor just because he is close to me. Wouldn’t he rather have no interest in what he’s doing?”

As she said that, there was a slight anger at something in her eyes.

‘I heard that there are differences of opinion even within the Beast Man’s Union, is it the same with families?’

Or is it a reaction against an unexpected situation?

One side wants to live a life on the grasslands while preserving traditional values, and the other side wants to develop with tools according to the wave of change.

Usually those who follow the latter are the weak, not those who use aurors or have strong powers.

Naturally, she had no choice but to choose the latter.

“It is impossible to injure me, though. Do you know that there are families who tried to take me hostage and then destroyed them?”

Illyana ridiculed it, saying that even those who approached it had completely disappeared.

“So, it’s better to stop thinking that Confucius, or the King of the Beast, has something he wants and that he can get it.”

After those words, Illyana raised her teacup as if her throat was burning. Allen waited until she had sufficiently quenched her thirst before opening her mouth.

“It doesn’t matter. I am interested in her princess.”

A princess, a princess… , she narrowed her eyes, thinking it was a name she had not heard in a long time.

“Me?”

She looked at the truth as if examining the true meaning of those words and spit it out.

“Are you interested in me?”

“I’m saying this because I don’t think it’s a joke.”

“I have a fiance.”

“I know that.”

She thought, looking at something strange, and began to organize them one by one.

“I approached my grandfather because he wanted something, and now that it is far from being in a relationship, are you interested in me? But again, there is no rational interest?”

“No, from the beginning, I was more interested in you than in the Beast King. To be precise, your talent as an engineer.”

Even at Allen’s words, Illyana didn’t stop questioning her expression.

“Hmm… , that’s even weirder. After all, you approach me even though you know you won’t get the attention of the Beast King? Because of my engineering talent?”

She shook her head with a slight smirk on her lips.

“Doesn’t it seem more plausible that it’s for marrying me and having a relationship with my grandfather?”

It was a rude remark that did not even consider Allen’s face.

But he didn’t react much to her provocative remarks. It was because she realized that she was deliberately saying these words to evoke Allen’s reaction.

So Allen looked at her without a single change.

“I don’t know what it would be like. Is the Beast King really not interested in you?”

“Can you say for sure?”

“Well, I don’t know. No matter how disinterested they were, if she had treated her granddaughter’s constitution, wouldn’t there be no response?”

Allen opened his mouth as if to ask anyone who might be listening to this.

“I don’t know if the body of my only granddaughter has been healed, but I don’t know if she will stay still.”

Her eyes widened as if she understood Allen’s words, and her mouth slowly opened.

Even the tongs that were moving the sugar cubes lost strength.

Allen caught the falling sugar cubes with a magical thread and put it in her teacup.

His smiling face was reflected in his yellow pupils.

“Then ask me again.”

Allen slowly opened his mouth, savoring her astonished expression.

“Can you really tell?”

She kept her mouth shut.

That was the answer.

Allen said it was late and sent them back after an appointment.

Linbell and Illyana each showed signs of not wanting to leave for different reasons, but Allen had no choice but to do so.

“… Allen, you really don’t want to leave, are you?”

‘I provoked myself, can I not go out?’ Allen draped her vestla around her waist and grabbed her robe.

The presence I had felt since Iliana came in did not disappear even after she left the room and became more and more explicit.

‘You’re violent.’

I have to say that I am the king of the beasts.

It would have been easier to call it, to call it this way.

Allen left the dormitory and walked towards the place that led him.

The place we arrived at was the park cemetery, which we had visited during the day by chance. He paused for a moment, then walked again.

In the sky that had turned black, there was no sight like the one I had seen before.

Just as always, the stars are twinkling.

Even with her usual appearance, she was attractive enough to catch someone’s attention. But Allen could not concentrate on such a sight.

In the center of the park cemetery, under the Milky Way.

This is because a man who radiates a presence more than the night sky caught the eye.

When Allen got a little closer, he opened his mouth.

“He said something funny.”

A wide yellow pupil met Allen’s eyes.

“Even though you know I’m listening.”

Allen couldn’t be vigilant at all, even though he was emanating a terrifying smell of alcohol.

He deserved it.

Even in the position of eight rivers, where there are only eight people in the world, he is one of the strongest in the three fingers, and is capable of destroying mountains and dealing with the country with only his own force.

A living myth that goes beyond the physical to the conceptual realm.

He was the one who summoned Allen, and the one who overheard the conversation with Illyana.

“I didn’t mean to upset the Beast King. to cause concern… .”

“No, that’s what happened. Are you more confident than that?”

He interrupted Allen, waving his hand.

I knew what he was asking, but Allen couldn’t answer easily. You can’t guarantee anything with a ten percent chance.

“I asked if you were there.”

But perhaps he didn’t like the silence, the Beast King opened his mouth again. He was also living a life that permeated violently.

Gaion’s face turned ferocious.

“Allen, I can’t win this even if I help you.”

Bestla, who had been silent since meeting him, asserted.

Allen immediately made a decision.

“Yes. I am confident.”

“Well then. If you fail later, you’ll have to look at it again. This is not the time to talk about it.”

At the same time as those words, the presence that was pressing Allen subsided. Gaion’s complexion also changed to calm as if he had ever been ferocious.

Allen learned that he had acted that way on purpose.

‘Is the smell of alcohol on purpose? Or is it a real hobby?’

Allen remembered his rumors going around the world.

“Then why are you calling now?”

“knife.”

Gaion patted his waist as if not to ask him twice.

“Before we talk, raise your sword first, let’s take a look at your skills.”

Allen opened his mouth, but Gaion acted faster. His figure disappeared from sight, and at the same time a voice was heard.

“For reference, if you can’t last more than five minutes, the meeting is over.”

In an instant, a delicate sensation sounded the alarm. He wrapped his arms around his side without even drawing his sword.

Allen’s body was pushed back a few steps.

Allen’s eyes were astonished at the pain he had felt for a long time after possessing the body of a giant.

“Hmm, is it harder than I thought? then… .”

Allen clenched his teeth and drew his sword. He didn’t have time to argue with him.

No matter what he said, the battle in front of him came first.

“A little stronger again.”

Quang-

Consciousness flew away for a moment.

Without taking care of his body, he instinctively twisted his shoulders. A fist rubbed against his shoulder, and his body spun around, dissipating the amount of shock.

“The reaction speed is pretty good too.”

The attack flew in again.

It was a moment of real crisis for the first time after having such a body.
