Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 649: Doom Hyunsung (5)

It didn’t look so scary to see him running with all his might.

I didn’t know if he couldn’t afford to pretend to be strong anymore, but it wasn’t bad for me.

I wondered if he had given up on kidnapping me and taking me to Lucifer, but I couldn’t afford to think about that for the time being.

Wouldn’t his top priority be to check whether there was anything wrong with my body and whether there were other side effects? I also finished checking to see if there was anything wrong with my body, but it didn’t seem like there were any other side effects.

‘That’s why it took time.’

The brilliance that poured down was probably the process of letting my body accept the divinity.

If Lucifer gave me strength the same way she gave Kim Hyunsung, wouldn’t my body pop and burst?

Benignore and her superiors had probably also taken measures to ensure that there were no other side effects. If there was a side effect, I wondered if Doom Hyunsung was picturing pulling an 8-ton truck and rushing to the Blue Guild Hall.

No, if I hadn’t talked in the middle, Tactic Kim Hyunsung, who had raised his strength in hell, would’ve become even stronger. What was a bit unfortunate was that, despite that delicate process, there was a limit to the amount that could be accepted.

Doom Hyunsung also received ten wings, so she would have wanted to give me ten wings as well, but she seemed to have determined that it was physically impossible.

It was a shame, but I wasn’t upset because I could see Kim Hyunsung rushing towards me, crying.

“Ahhh…”

‘Oh, look at our regressor…’

After all the fuss, of course, his body was covered with wounds, and traces of being burned by the divine power could be seen all over him.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t properly say it as if he was choking, making me feel a little bit guilty. I even thought there was a problem with his language function.

“Ah, um…”

I was also curious about how I would look to Kim Hyunsung. Even if I thought about it, I wasn’t familiar with my current form.

No word seemed appropriate to describe the wings made of light that had exceeded the purity of divinity. Each feather and each piece of it was emitting a splendid brilliance.

Overall, it was emanating light, and it looked so sacred that the advent of Benignore couldn’t beat it.

The radiant light filled the darkened grounds, incomparable to the past when I took the Bomb of Light potion.

It seemed that my existence alone could purify all the dirty things in the world. The moment my feet touched the floor, a light spread shortly around the place I stepped on.

‘The god of the new world! Light itself has descended.’

Although it was me, it was still considered scary. Perhaps, even if someone other than Kim Hyunsung saw me, they would think similarly.

I had a brilliance so pure that it could never be polluted.

I naturally smiled slightly.

‘Lucifer, fuck, are you watching?’

I still hadn’t figured out what she was aiming for, but just seeing what she had done felt like she had revenged enough.

‘You’ve crossed the line, okay?’

If I were to go over to the dark, I wouldn’t work for her.

The plan itself was wrong in the first place. Could a trivial incident break the relationship between Hyunsung and me? Even under threat, I could bet that Kim Hyunsung would choose me unconditionally.

I held back my laughter, but I had no choice but to smile softly.

‘We’re good now, right? Right?’

Of course, he didn’t come back perfectly. The pitch-black wings that were still being dragged to the ground caught my eye.

However, it was a roughly expected situation. Even though it was Kim Hyunsung, there was no way it would be easy to let out the transcendental power that settled down in his body. It wasn’t that he’s holding back the power…

‘It must be impossible.’

Kim Hyunsung had already swallowed poison. Seeing that even Benignore couldn’t detoxify it meant that it wasn’t an issue that could be solved right away.

My face was about to get distorted, but Lucifer’s plan had been ruined, and I wondered how she would be looking at the scene right at that moment. When I saw Kim Hyunsung’s face in the light, I was relieved.

“I’m… I’m… sorry.”

‘First, an apology. Okay, that’s a good flow. You’re not going to get mad, right? Right?’

I thought I had seen many scenes of Kim Hyunsung crying lately.

I tried to pull him up because I felt like he was falling over, but he got startled and took a step away.

He pulled himself up but seeing that he couldn’t easily come closer, it seemed that he couldn’t be next to me. I thought it was understandable. Hyunsung was completely covered in blood, and, by my standards, wasn’t he sporting hideous wings?

He must’ve been thinking that he was in contrast to the brilliance of the sacred blinding light.

Well, I thought it would gradually get better over time. Lucifer’s power would fade anyway.

“I’m… sorry.”

‘Yes, you should be sorry. I thought everything was really ruined.’

“I’m… sorry.”

‘You tried to hit me. Fuck, that’s something you should really reflect on.’

“I’m sorry for everything.”

‘It’s okay. I understand why you did it.’

“Sniff, I’m sorry.”

‘Ah, fuck, he thinks it’s because of him.’

It didn’t seem like he was simply apologizing for accepting Lucifer’s power. I felt that maybe he’s sorry that I was related to him.

He might’ve been wondering that if it had been the way it was, Lee Kiyoung, who would be able to live a normal life, would think that he was involved in complicated affairs because he got related to him.

‘I think so.’

A tearful apology for saying that he was caught up in useless things, that he shouldn’t have confessed that he was a returner and shouldn’t have passed me the burden.

Blaming everything on himself was also a feat.

It was a better option than blaming me, but being too guilty wasn’t good for his mental health.

As he still seemed a little unstable, it would be better to continue the last conversation.

It seemed like he was finally in a state where he could talk.

‘Because it’s already time.’

I could see where the huge light fell. A new exit was created due to the light that entered through the dungeon. As I spread my wings slightly, I felt my body slowly rise.

I wasn’t used to it, but using a little bit of a novel sensation, I hovered on the top of the Queen’s Tomb, and soon Kim Hyunsung followed suit.

A vast continent immediately entered my eyes. It was dim, but the starlights illuminated a sparkling night view.

“It’s a good sight.”

“…”

“It’s a really nice landscape.”

‘I have to do this properly. Don’t let your guard down, Kiyoung. The finale is important in everything. The finish is half of the battle. You have to be alert and focus.’

I had to look as I would never forget that view, but I had to avoid looking pitiful as much as possible.

I thought it was better to make a bittersweet face. I nodded, showing that I had accepted the fate that had been given to me.

‘I’m not sad.’

Lee Kiyoung wasn’t sorrowful. The scene I was witnessing would disappear from my memory someday, but it was a landscape that I could see at any time.

Even if he were lonely or sad, Lee Kiyoung wouldn’t collapse because his precious colleagues would be with him.

Lee Kiyoung was a tragic hero. He was someone who would never abandon the continent, someone who accepted all fate with his body that is so delicate that it is likely to be broken.

Without realizing it, I caught the night view again with tears in my eyes.

The drop of tears running down my eyes wasn’t due to the anguish I felt towards my fate but due to my admiration for the beautiful sight.

It was the reverberation of the pure soul toward the great landscape that the liveliness and nature of the people living on the continent had combined.

‘Wow, fuck. My tears shine.’

I didn’t know if it’s because of my evolution to the mythic grade, but the tears that fell continued to sparkle. I only expressed my surprise for a split second. Kim Hyunsung was carefully looking at me, after all.

“Is it really…”

“Yes.”

“Is it really going…”

“Yes.”

“Is it really going to be okay?”

“Yes, it will be fine.”

“…”

“Nothing will happen.”

If something went wrong, we’d take them and run. Then there would be no problem.

“Will you really… be able to endure it?”

“Yes, it would be impossible if I were alone, but if everyone is with me…”

“Is it really… okay?”

“Don’t make me repeat what I said. I told you many times that it would be okay. If I lose my memory, will you throw me away…”

“No, never…”

“Then will you be negligent…?”

“No.”

“Then there is no problem. Of course, it doesn’t mean it’s not unfortunate, but…”

“…”

“Of course, forgetting the memories that I have built up to this day… It hurts a little. A lot has happened, after all.”

“…”

“But won’t we all have more time together than before? We’ll be able to spend more moments together with Hayan, Deokgu, and all the other guild members. Maybe a lot more fun events will happen than before. There will be more reason to smile, just like the scenery before us right now.”

‘You won’t understand what I mean.’

“I don’t know when it will be, but someday the day will come when I will forget this landscape, but… I will be able to capture the same scenery at any time. This landscape will never disappear, after all.”

‘You still don’t understand what the hell I’m talking about.’

“I can’t understand. I can’t understand.”

‘Wait, Hyunsung. You’ll be able to understand it soon.’

I thought it was about the timing, but I felt resentful for the still and unchanging sky.

When it became embarrassing to wait for a long time while looking at the sky without saying anything, change began to take place in the wide sky.

Of course, the last event I was preparing was a sunset show to watch with Lee Kiyoung. It was then that Kim Hyunsung looked at me and turned his head.

In fact, I was wondering how much Kim Hyunsung would react to the sunset show that he watched with me, but it seemed that the response was better than I expected. His pupils were shaking in real-time.

He didn’t know what I was exactly talking about or what I wanted to say, but I thought he would understand with that.

“It’s a great landscape.”

Externally, I didn’t remember the sunset, and it didn’t actually happen, but I felt the same.

Even if I forgot what had happened before, new memories could fill that place.

I didn’t explain anything in words, but Kim Hyunsung seemed to feel it enough.

His shoulders were shaking. I couldn’t read his expression. Honestly, I didn’t know what he’s thinking right at that moment. However, he didn’t look like he was in a bad mood. Maybe he was thinking of something that happened before.

“If…”

“…”

“If I forget what I see now…”

“Yes?”

“Please bring me here to see this again.”

“Sniff… okay.”

“Being able to see this again…”

“…”

“That’s enough for me.”

“Sniff… Sniff… Yeah… Yeah.”

When I saw Kim Hyunsung’s face with tears bursting, I nodded.

‘It worked well.’

He finally understood what I meant.

One thing I could be sure of was that Hyunsung would be thinking…

‘I want to keep his memories.’

Or something like:

‘I want to protect this place.’’

Kim Hyunsung looked at the distance. A chapter had ended, and the regressor was once again reminded of his reason to stand up, his reason to fight for the continent.

And that afternoon.

Beyond the north…

A huge light began to pour down. It was a foreign light that humanity had never seen.
