Regressor’s Life After Retirement Chapter 265

—————————————

[ Prelude to Counterattack – Collection (2) ]

Hwiik !

The great man’s sword split the air.

“…It’s been quite a while since I missed you.”

The witch had suddenly risen into the air, higher than the adult.

[Kyahahahaha!]

The witch burst into laughter.

[Nothing like you can stop me now!]

A powerful magic circle created to summon tens of thousands of demon legions to Earth.

The witch who absorbed all of the energy accumulated in the magic circle evolved into a being on a different level from before.

Excited!

The purple heart, the only color in the witch’s almost transparent body, pulsated at an incredible speed.

[Kyahahahahaha!]

It could no longer be called a witch.

A being that had turned into a bizarre evil spirit flew towards Daein, radiating curse energy from its entire body.

At the same time, invisible blades were targeting Daein from all directions.

‘If this is true, it will be a bit difficult.’

It was an attack that was easily blocked several times, but the speed and destructive power were incomparable to before.

Sigh!

The great man immediately put on the Heavenly Demon Goddess, spread his wings, and dodged the attack into the air.

All attacks coming from unavoidable angles were blocked with the sword.

Go go go go!

Sparks flew in the air.

The moment Daein decided that he had dodged all the attacks coming at him without any time to breathe, he

shouted!

A huge force of magical power, massed like a mace, hit Daein from the front. The great man crossed his arms to block the attack.

“Tsk!”

The great man, who had been flying for a while, finally stopped in the air.

[Kyahahahaha!]

At that moment, the voice of an evil spirit was heard right next to me. As soon as I turned my head, the evil spirit’s claws scratched my side.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

Sparks flew out from the Heavenly Demon Goddess. The great man turned his body to avoid the witch’s claws and then pulled out more swords from subspace.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp….

Ten swords came out of subspace. The great man divided the swords again.

“Split Sword.”

Ssssss.

In the air, the ten swords suddenly grew into dozens, then a hundred, then hundreds.

Swords filled the sky and rained down on the evil spirits. Each and every one of them contained strength.

[Kyaaaaaaaaat!]

The evil spirit moved at incredible speed and dodged the sword. Sometimes it penetrated the body of the evil spirit, but it did not cause any significant damage.

“Doesn’t the inspection work?”

The great man frowned and looked at the evil spirit. The part that had been penetrated into the gum cavity was healing in an instant.

[Kyahahahaha! Did you oppose him with this much power?]

Even in that state, the evil spirit did not forget its loyalty to ‘him’.

The great man said with an expression of interest.

“The guy you’re talking about. “We met and said a few words, but it wasn’t a big deal, right?”

A reaction came out immediately.

[How dare you insult Him!]

Puhwaaaaagh!

The evil spirit’s body swelled to a gigantic size. The purple heart remained the same, but the rest of the body seemed to be able to freely adjust its size.

[I will catch you and sacrifice you to Him!]

A huge pressure was pressing down on the great man from all directions.

Wood-dud-dud-duk!

The surface of the Heavenly Demon Armor was distorted and the body became several times heavier.

“Ugh…”

The great man frowned as if he was a little distressed.

The opponent was much stronger than expected.

This meant that the magic circle it had absorbed was powerful, and that it had been created by sacrificing countless people.

‘There’s no way to revive those who were sacrificed…’

But I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

The fact is that in order to win a war, you have to use something like that.

“Whoop…!”

Daein increased his attack power even more. The enormous energy pumped out from his dantian gradually pushed away the pressure around him.

[Kyahahaha! There is no use in resisting! Stupid human! From the moment you gave me time, there was no chance of you defeating me…]

“Aren’t you so stupid? Anyone can see that it was given time on purpose.”

[Kyahahaha…! What?]

“It looks like the taste has gone to my head.”

The great man, grinning, unleashed a fierce battle and attacked the evil spirit.

Sigh!

The Heavenly Demon Sword cut off the evil spirit’s left arm. Although it was restored immediately, even the evil spirits couldn’t help but feel nervous at the speed.

[…Quite good.]

“Not much to say. “It’s just the beginning!”

Daein continued his offensive. Every time the Heavenly Demon Sword in his hand drew a purple trail, the number of cuts and stab wounds on the evil spirit’s body increased.

Even the evil spirit did not stay still. He unleashed intangible energy to attack the great man, attacked directly with his sharp claws, and spewed out a powerful curse from his entire body, forcing the great man to retreat.

Go go go go!

As they fought, they climbed higher and higher in the sky.

Rumble- boom!

Rumble- boom!

As the two figures disappeared above the clouds, all that could be seen on the ground was a thunderous roar and occasional lightning strikes.

[Kyahahahaha! That’s pretty cool! No, it’s really strong. How could a human being…]

“You’re also quite strong.”

The great man spoke sincerely.

The evil spirit was the perfect partner to reexamine the martial arts skills that I had not had time to practice because I was too busy and to awaken my dulled sense of combat.

How frantically did he swing his sword like that?

Kaaaaang-!

After strongly pushing away the evil spirit, the great man stopped quietly in the air.

“Whoa….”

[…….]

As if he had made a promise, the evil spirit also stopped in place.

Of course, the fighting did not stop.

They both sensed that the other was formidable, so they were watching each other to find more fatal loopholes.

“I know that?”

It was Daein who spoke first.

He raised his sword and aimed precisely at the evil spirit’s purple heart.

“I was aiming for that from the beginning.”

[What does that mean?]

“Your heart.”

[…No way…!]

My heart is pounding!

As the evil spirit became excited, its purple heart beat more violently.

The great man grinned.

“that’s right. I deliberately tricked you into absorbing the magic circle. “The energy accumulated there is too precious to just sweep you away and destroy you.”

“But we can’t use that kind of unstable energy on our side. “Wouldn’t it be you?”

“Actually, this is also a method that someone taught me…”

A magic circle that accumulated energy at the cost of the lives and souls of countless people.

‘If there was a way to revive the people who fell victim to the magic circle, I would have done so…’

There is no way to revive people who are already dead.

Instead, Daein decided to use the energy concentrated in the magic circle that sacrificed people for war.

It may have been a morally wrong decision, but Daein was not interested in such things.

“That’s why I’m asking. Do you want to surrender now? Or do you want to take more hits and surrender?”

[Do you think everything will go your way?]

The evil spirit swelled to the size of hundreds of meters. The purple heart was beating at an incredible speed as if it would explode.

Excited, Excited, Excited!

“I think the output has increased more than before?”

The great man clicked his tongue lightly. It was no longer possible to fight using only martial arts.

Googoo googung!

A huge evil spirit that filled the sky tilted its body like a mountain and attacked the great man.

[I will kill you and sacrifice you to Him!]

Fortunately, martial arts was not the only ability that Daein had.

He had achievements over the past seven months.

“Just calm down first.”

The great man took out [Holy Ice] and attached it to the watch on his left hand.

[The Star of Transcendence is activated (level 2).]

[Various functions are provided to suit the user’s convenience.]

[The use of some functions is still restricted.]

[To use all functions, the user’s level must be higher. [Yes.]

Level 2 of the Star of Transcendence,

one level higher than the past .

Among the added features was the ability to add options by attaching and detaching special items.

“Option equipped. “Holy ice.”

[Check item. Use is approved.]

[The options of ‘Holy Ice’ are added to the Star of Transcendence.]

[Caution! Prolonged use may cause strain to the user’s body. We recommend using it for a short period of time.]

It won’t take long anyway.

“And feature optimization.”

[Two user characteristics have been confirmed.]

[Do you want to optimize both characteristics?]

“Huh.”

The great man answered briefly, and at that moment, the great man’s body became blurred.

Whoa!

The hand wielded by the evil spirit literally ‘penetrated’ the great man’s body.

A phenomenon that occurs when the trait [Stealth] is developed to its limit.

[How…!]

An astonished evil spirit.

However, Daein spoke calmly as if it was not that surprising.

“It’s an equipment thing.”

At the same time, a pure white line starting from the clock extended onto the surface of the Heavenly Demon Goddess.

Blah blah blah!

A pattern resembling ice crystals instantly spread across the pitch-black Heavenly Demon Goddess.

After a while, the great man stood in front of the evil spirit wearing armor that was a strange mixture of darkness and light.

“Whew…”

The great man let out a white breath and swung his sword. His expression was very pale. In fact, it was quite difficult to bring out this much power.

“Freeze.”

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

A pure white force extended from the sword and attacked the evil spirit. The evil spirit’s body began to freeze.

Jeok Jeok Jeok Jeok Jeok-!

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

The evil spirit screamed.

‘Holy Ice’ had the ability to freeze all unclean things.

Even if it was an intangible spirit body, it could not be an exception.

Let’s go!

The frozen body of the evil spirit began to fall apart from the outside.

[I can’t die like this…]

“Who kills so easily?”

The great man withdrew his power. The cold that had frozen the evil spirit’s body stopped in that state.

But the evil spirit could not move.

All parts except the heart and face are frozen. If it moved even a little, it would fall to pieces.

“I won’t kill you easily. How many people died because of you? “You have to pay for all your sins and be released.”

When the great man spoke with a grin, the evil spirit chuckled and laughed.

[What are you going to do if you don’t kill him? No one can force me. I belong only to Him! My soul…]

A sneer appeared on the great man’s lips.

“Let’s try an experiment now. “How strong is the grip of your master, Soul Eater.”

[How can you name that…!] Whether

the evil spirit was surprised or not, Daein activated another function of the Star of Transcendence.

“Activate subordinate function.”

[The servant function is activated (level 2).]

[Targets that can serve as servants include most races, including humans, spirits, demons, and angels, who have not acquired divinity.] [

When ministering as servants, it has nothing to do with whether the target is alive or dead . Without this, you cannot minister to new servants for one year.]

[(*Level 2 Perk) You can force minister to the desired target!]

[However, the user must directly subdue the target.]

[Currently possessed servants 3/7 ( Survival 3 Death 0)]

The light flowing from the star of transcendence flowed into the evil spirit.

[Ugh. No…!]

The evil spirit shook his head violently and denied the command that was forcibly engraved into his soul.

[It can’t be like this. This can’t be…!]

It is an order to abandon the existing master and serve a new master.

The Soul Eater seal that had been engraved on her soul was erased and a more powerful seal was engraved on top of it.

[No, I’m sorry, Master…]

She tried to hold on somehow, but her consciousness itself was becoming increasingly blurred.

[My revenge will be taken by the other apostles….]

“That won’t happen. “They’re going to catch me now too.”

[…!!]

And slowly, the evil spirit fell asleep.

The reawakened evil spirit became Daein’s loyal servant.

[…master. Please give me an order.]

“Hide yourself completely and follow me. “Don’t even appear before me until I call you again.”

[Okay.]

Slurp.

After the evil spirit disappeared in the air, Daeindo came down to the ground.

The great man’s body staggered.

“Whew… it’s definitely tough.”

“mister!”

At that time, Lily, who had evacuated the villagers, flew towards Daein.

“Are you okay, uncle? “Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Don’t say anything. “I’m going to die from exhaustion.”

Lily supported the great man with a worried expression.

“So I said I was fighting!”

The great man ruffled the grumbling girl’s hair.

“If you had gone out, you would have burned it all.”

“It’s not. “I’m good at controlling my strength now, right?”

The great man pulled Lily’s sulking cheek.

Actually, I could have left it to Lily, but I was just checking my own skills.

“That’s it. “What did the villagers do?”

“I treated them all with potions and took them to a nearby village.”

While Daein battled the evil spirit, Lily also returned after completing an important mission.

‘Maybe that’s a more important mission.’

The great man thought about this and spoke to Lily.

“Then let’s go back. Leave the cleaning up to the local soldiers.”

There were a few places to stop on the way back.

‘That part must have been sorted out by now.’
