Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 744: To The End (3)

“…”

“Is there anything that put you in a good mood? Did you succeed? No, did something really happen?”

“…”

‘You woke up, you bastard.’

-Kiyoung. Can you hear me?

‘Yes, I can hear you, fuck.’

-I’m Kim Hyunsung.

‘You don’t need to introduce yourself.’

-This is Kim Hyunsung.

‘I know even if you don’t say it twice.’

For a moment, I was staring ahead blankly. I began to smile naturally.

It was so unexpected that it was difficult to have other reactions. It was not unreasonable to clench my fist either.

I tried not to look, but I turned my head automatically.

What was reflected in the telescope was Kim Hyunsung, who remained alone in the ruins.

His appearance hadn’t changed much. He still had the huge horn over his head, and his whole body was covered with a black entity. He also still had black magic power.

The only difference was that his face was exposed, but…

‘Even that is enough to make him look extremely different.’

His previous appearance that looked like a monster had been transformed into the appearance of the protagonist, who had gone dark.

‘I knew you would go well with the fucking horns.’

Seeing that its shape fit his face, it seemed that a person who knew fashion might’ve designed them.

His eyes were swollen as if he just finished crying. No, even now, there were tears in his eyes.

‘Right. How thrilled he would be to come back to life.’

The way he was holding the Goddess’s Hand Mirror tightly in his hand and desperately opening his mouth felt a bit pathetic. Seeing him scrambling with the mirror, he seemed to be thinking that he had pressed something wrong.

-Sh*t. Why… is this not working?

I heard him say that.

‘No, it is working.’

“Yes. I can hear you, Hyunsung.”

“Did Hyunsung wake up? Really? Did he wake up? Whew… Everything is going well.”

Right. But how did he wake up?

I couldn’t even imagine that he would come back on his own. Grey Skull Hyunsung completely lost his mind to the point that I even wondered if I had to conceive a surprise event that would awaken Kim Hyunsung’s reason.

‘Was there a time limit? If not… Did something similar to awakening happen? It’s a typical protagonist-growing cliché. After darkening, he wakes up and matures internally and mentally.’

One thing I could be sure of was that Kim Hyunsung might go up one more step.

Honestly, that was something that I would also welcome because it was also true that I was worried that Grey Skull Hyunsung would be the one doing the stabbing.

Was there any reality where a man who had lost his reason would stab me gently? Wasn’t it only logical that he had to recover his mind for him to be considerate of me?

Of course, it seemed that he wouldn’t have any consideration since he was already betrayed and angered, but it was better to be able to think. As time passed, it felt as if my smile was getting bigger.

The voice continued to be heard. If there was a minor problem, it was that the channel was connected to the command.

Since I didn’t have the personal hand mirror, he couldn’t reach me, so I felt like he just entered the channel instead. He had that much authority because it was Kim Hyunsung’s mirror.

‘It doesn’t matter though…’

Even though it was the command frequency, only a few were included in the channel, including manager Kim Mi-young.

-Kiyoung? Are you really Kiyoung?

‘If I’m not Lee Kiyoung, who would I be?’

“Yes.”

-You’re okay. That’s… That’s really fortunate.

“I am okay. By the way, you…”

-I’m sorry… sniff… Sorry.

‘No, don’t cry, fuck. The others are listening. You have to show dignity. You have to show you’re strong. Fuck. Display that you had mental growth. Fuck.’

-I… I’m really sorry. I screwed things up again… I’m sorry for running away and hiding.

“You don’t have to apologize. I feel relieved enough that you woke up.”

-I’m really sorry for making things hard for you. I’m really sorry for not being strong and helpful, and I’m sorry for not being able to help you with your burden. I-I just kept hiding. It seems that I have been running away from reality and turned away from what is in front of me. I was just constantly avoiding the problem even after saying that I would carry your burden with you. In the end… I don’t think I did anything.

‘No, I got it, so stop it. They’re listening. Private talks are banned in the command channel.’

“Ha… haha…”

I understood the feeling of wanting to tell me how he got through the difficult situation, but I didn’t know how to react except to give a nice smile.

-I thought that I woke up on my own, but it was probably a message from you that woke me up.

‘Fuck… I want to leave. I want to close the channel. If I go out now, though, I will hear a voice asking after one minute, ‘who will lead now?”

If they weren’t slow, it wouldn’t matter if I came in 5 minutes later, but manager Kim Mi-young and others in the control tower didn’t even think about leaving.

It was bothering to have them listening to such a conversation quietly.

Kim Hyunsung, the bastard, kept talking like that as if he was out of his mind. That was a different kind of villain.

-Yes. I mean the message that you told me not to die and to wake up. Thank you very much. Really… Thank you.

“Haha… Yeah… Yes. Naturally… Yeah… Anyway, I’m glad you woke up.”

-And…

‘No, please stop, fuck. Really. Just do verse 1, man.’

I didn’t want to cut off the words of a guy full of emotions and feelings that he would do verse 2 to verse 3 if I kept listening, but I had to speak quickly.

“I think it would be better to catch up later. Some things have come in front of us, and this is not a personal channel.”

When one cut it, they should definitely cut it off thoroughly.

-Ah… Yes.

His voice sounded a little depressed, but he had to be aware that he did something wrong.

“I don’t know how fortunate it is for you to be waking up like this.”

-No. I… what I did…

‘Ah, this is getting longer again.’

“I’ll see you a little later.”

-Ah… Yes.

“Manager Kim Mi-young?”

-Yes, Vice Guild Master. This is manager Kim Mi-young. Guild Master, congratulations on your successful comeback.

-Yeah… it’s been a while, manager.

-I wanted the two of you to talk a little longer, but the situation isn’t in the best condition…

“No, I understand. And this channel wasn’t designed to have private talk anyway.”

‘Did you hear what I said?’

-…

‘Now you realized you made a mistake, right? You were out of your mind since you just woke up, right?’

Kim Hyunsung seemed to be regretting even based on what I saw through the telescope.

-I’m going now.

“You don’t have to come. Don’t come. Wait at the wall instead. You will be nearby anyway.”

-What?

“I’m not telling you not to join the battle. The wall is coming over anyway.”

-Ah…

-You knew, Vice Guild Master.

“Yes. I wasn’t sure, but I was able to get the rough idea. I didn’t think you would come in like this. Most of all, I didn’t think Hyejin would make such a bold decision…”

-She struggled a lot.

“…”

It must’ve been really hard if even she knew about it.

When I recalled that she was struggling with Dominions, the Soul Stealer, in that difficult situation, I began to doubt Lee Jihye’s personality again.

“I’ll send you the data you need. For now…”

-Yeah.

“It would be right to send you a rough map of the temple. The location is not correct, but the control room, or the place assumed to be the control room, will be marked separately and sent. If you block the place that continues to supply the divinity to the temple…”

-I understand.

“Since I haven’t been to all the places, there is a high possibility that the confirmation of some places is uncertain. In addition, I’ll send you the location of the current troops. Manager Kim Mi-young, please take charge of it. How are the preparations going on the wall?”

“Have you memorized this entire temple map?”

‘This bastard Park Deokgu can’t even remember that I memorized the road in the tutorial dungeon.’

As in the tutorial dungeon, I couldn’t mark the location with arrows, but if I wandered around a place for a long time, I could memorize it.

Of course, I couldn’t make a map, but some rough information was in my head.

-I checked, Vice Guild Master.

“What is the situation on the wall?”

-We are already ready to enter the battle. Just in case the operation fails…

‘Did you have insurance?’

Knowing that there were so many preparations put me in a good mood.

-I have sent the map of the temple to each unit.

‘Yes, I noticed.’

I could see that they suddenly changed their movements through the telescope as they continued to receive data from the control tower.

New generals from the Republic and the strongest ones of the Union were constantly moving.

The field commanders on the scene were constantly tapping on the Goddess’s Mirror, and they seemed distracted by processing the new information they suddenly obtained. Park Deokgu also started running without hesitation.

The unit, led by Alps, didn’t really need that kind of data, but it was better to have it than not to have it. It even showed that the troops were moving in real-time.

As I lifted the telescope a little further away, I began to see all parts of the temple.

It had been a while since I concentrated that much that it made my eyes and head throb.

It probably wasn’t just me who was busy. Even in the control tower, I thought they would be busy processing the information I was sending.

The battlefield was changing from moment to moment, and they had to quantify the data to convey the right information to the field commanders.

Everything was happening in real-time.

I didn’t see it through the telescope, but I could imagine what the control tower would look like. People must’ve been stuck in front of hundreds of Goddess’s Mirrors and kept tapping in the air.

“Deokgu, give me a few more mirrors. Give me yours too.”

“O-Okay.”

It was only right for me to continue helping. After levitating some hand mirrors with magic power, I tapped my fingers without hesitation.

After completing the mission, the Friendship Guild established the path to join other troops.

I could see Raphael, who was sent in advance, leading the guys and moving. The same went for the heroes of the first round. They had already run into the second control room.

Although surrounded by enemy troops, there were troops around them who could help.

It didn’t mean that the small ones couldn’t do anything. Those with somewhat lower stats moved while avoiding battle and were installing eyes in the temple.

The dark map was gradually revealed, and more and more data came into the Goddess’s Hand Mirror.

The pigeons were perplexed. In that kind of battle, the difference between the presence or absence of the control tower was revealed.

‘Ah. What was your brain doing? He must still be fighting excitedly.’

There probably hadn’t been that much development yet, so I’d check it out later.

Oh, I had something to check in my spare time. As soon as I sent a personal message to Yuno Kasugano, the hand mirror rang.

[Yes. The future has not changed.]

‘Ah, I need to take some anesthetic potion. I should prepare the tears and the runny nose too.’

The time for Kim Hyunsung to stab Lee Kiyoung was approaching.
