Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ Tick ]

It’s been a week since I entered the Labyrinth of Corrupted Souls .

We arrived at the deepest part of the dungeon, in front of the so-called [boss room].

Gooooooo-!

I looked back with a solemn expression in front of the rusty iron door that gave off an ominous energy.

Behind me, more innocent friends and Wang Guho were lined up in two rows.

“friends. “Are you mentally prepared?”

Nod.

My innocent friends nodded eagerly at my words.

Red Shark. Warriors. Black hound.

And White House.

It was quite a sight to see superhumans from four guilds lined up fully armed.

I said with great emotion.

“At first, we were scattered separately and only focused on our own desires, but now we have come together in one place and are carrying out joint operations with one mind. friends! “Thank you everyone for following my instructions so far!”

Nod.

My innocent friends nodded enthusiastically at my Japanese speech.

I was now intoxicated with petty power.

Before I regressed, I had never done anything like this before, so I honestly wanted to give it a try.

“It’s finally the last time! ruler! Let’s defeat the enemy monster beyond here and reap the beauty of Yujong!”

And I raised my left hand.

On my left hand, I wore a makeshift glove made by the equipment team, and in the palm of my hand was an illusion mirror the size of a coin that had been torn off by the Mirror Demon.

Kiiiiing-!

As the illusion mirror radiated magical power, the innocent friends who were affected by it gained courage.

““Woooooo!””

Innocent friends raise their weapons and shout in unison.

They were now not only naive, but also tough.

“Hmm.”

It was a bit disappointing to end the speech like this, so I continued, wondering if I had anything more to say.

“Just one last word…”

That was then. I heard the door open behind me.

Sigh-.

I was startled and turned around to see the little boy pushing the door with all his might.

“hey! What’re you doing!”

The little boy looked back at me, put his hands on his hips, and shouted.

“I’m going to finish this quickly and go home and eat chicken!”

Then he turned around again and started pushing the iron door with his whole body.

It was writhing like a caterpillar crawling on grass.

The door only made a squeak and did not move at all.

“Ugh.”

I can’t get into the mood because of that little guy.

I sighed lightly and went to stand next to the little boy.

“No matter how much you whine. “Will it open?”

Kkei Iik-.

When I fully pushed the iron door open with both hands, I saw two bright blue flames burning in the darkness in the distance.

Grumble!

[Soul Devourer]

When the crouching guy stood up, his height reached 3 meters.

This guy was a huge skeleton knight. Bright blue flames burned from the black skull’s two eye sockets, and its body, clad in thick plate armor, hit the floor with every step it took. thud! It rang.

The Soul Devourer pointed a greatsword as big as his body at us and muttered an unknown language.

[…#@$%(…[email protected])Pa#]

I know quite a few languages, but what he was saying was an unfamiliar language.

Well, I’m not really curious.

I put the whistle in my mouth and blew.

Beep!

To the sound, the innocent friends, led by Wang Guho, ran out.

Wang Guho, who ran to the front, declared war on the Soul Devourer.

“I… too… this… this… thing… this… thing!”

I haven’t released that guy’s illusion yet.

Even if I release it anyway, I’ll be caught here again.

[Whoa!]

The Soul Devourer roared and swung his great sword. A greatsword that was over 3 meters long and Wang Guho collided head-on.

-Quaaaang!

Although he was pushed back more than a meter, Wang Guho succeeded in withstanding the attack.

This was all thanks to me, who strengthened his personality by sending him into various traps for a week.

Wang Guhao, who must have been quite shocked by the attack just now, opened his eyes wide and spoke in a trembling voice.

“Fan…is…you…? I’m cumming… I’m… not… yet…!”

But how long do I have to listen to that nonsense?

[Kwaaaaah!]

As if displeased that his attack was blocked, the Soul Devourer swung his great sword one after another.

Quang! bang! Quang!

While Wang Guho was being beaten like a punching bag, innocent friends surrounded the soul eater.

At that moment, as if he had been waiting, the soul devourer’s bright blue eyes changed to a bright yellow color.

Jiiiing-!

[Soul Binding]

One of the abilities that later made the Soul Devourer infamous, it was a charm-type magic that turned a wide range of targets into puppets.

Even superhumans with strong mental powers were helpless against this magic, and the accumulated damage at the time was enormous.

But,

““Woooooooo!””

[Soul Binding] did not work on the innocent friends who had already received my treatment and the illusion mirror ability.

[Kuuuuuu!?]

The soul devourer’s bright yellow eyes shook with embarrassment.

Meanwhile, innocent friends surrounded him and attacked him.

And here it is

!

Wang Guho held the Soul Devourer’s great sword tightly and multiplied his petrified body.

“Fans…many…man…! “I love you too!”

It’s so damn annoying. Do the damn thing.

[Soul Binding], a powerful charm-type magic, does not work, and a heavy lump of armor is hanging on the great sword, the only weapon.

However, the Soul Devourer still had another means of attack.

[Kwaaaaah!]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The Soul Devourer swung the great sword that Wang Guho was hanging from and shook off his innocent friends.

At the same time, its yellow eyes turned red this time.

Kiiiiing-!

A huge blood-red magic circle was drawn on the floor around where the Soul Devourer was standing, and demons began to be summoned onto it.

Kiyaaaaaaa!

Kiyaaaaaaa!

Little gray demons resembling monkeys exposed their ferocious teeth and claws and surrounded the innocent friends.

The number reached hundreds.

[Whoa whoa!!]

The Soul Devourer roared with confidence.

He seemed confident that this time he would be able to defeat the insolent intruders.

Hundreds of monkey demons were summoned at once.

It was clearly a disappointing number for us, who only had about 20 people.

What if we didn’t have a little boy who hadn’t had chicken in over a week?

“Let’s all die!”

The kid who had been watching the fight from behind with me stepped forward.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A feast of fireworks filling the air.

As if representing the little boy’s appetite, which was stronger than ever,

each flame was embodying chicken in a highly perfected form.

“I’m going to go eat chicken!”

As the little boy suffering from chicken withdrawal symptoms cried out, flame chickens floating in the air rained down on the monkey demons.

Pow! Burbubububububung!

Fireworks exploded everywhere and monkey demons screamed.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Within just a few minutes, the cavity was filled with the charred corpses of monkey demons.

The Soul Devourer, whose powerful powers were all neutralized, screamed and swung his great sword wildly.

[Kwaaaaaa!!]

“Marriage…marriage…is…not…yet…!”

However, Wang Guho was hanging on that great sword, and there was no superhuman dull enough to be hit by such a slow attack.

It was easy after that.

The innocent friends continued to inflict blows on the soul devourer, and several more summoned demons were roasted by the kid’s flames.

[Whoa….]

As time passed, the soul devourer’s plate armor began to fall off one by one.

About an hour later.

I walked towards the tattered Soul Devourer, whose movements had slowed to less than half.

“I’ve read your strategy so many times that I’m sick of it. “It was a fight I couldn’t lose from the beginning.”

The soul devourer’s eyes turned to me, as if he understood what I was saying.

Grumble!

At that moment, his eyes burned red again and he threw the great sword at me.

Of course, I wasn’t the type to be hit by such a slow attack.

Whick!

Behind me, Wang Guho flew as one with the great sword.

I think I just caught a glimpse of Wang Guho kissing the great sword… You probably saw it wrong, right?

Meanwhile, the Soul Devourer broke through the siege and rushed at me.

[Kwaaaaaah-!!]

Since this guy has a certain level of intelligence, he probably would have figured it out.

Who is the person who made him like this?

I didn’t avoid it.

Extend your left palm forward, make a fist with your right hand, and pull it back close to your side.

As I raised my mana according to the instructions of the Great Great Trial,

small sparks flew out of my fist.

Crackling, crackling-

“Hmph…!”

[Whoa whoa-!!]

The moment the soul devourer came right in front of me, I activated the illusion mirror in my left hand first.

Kiiiiing-!

Because it had very strong magic resistance, it was not affected by the illusion, but

the Soul Devourer’s movements stopped for a brief moment.

That moment was enough.

I straightened my right fist.

The power fist struck the soul devourer’s chest.

P-uh-uh-uh!

The only remaining piece of plating on the chest fell away, exposing the soul devourer’s chest.

I found a fist-sized red gem in the middle of the Soul Devourer’s exposed chest.

“…Soul Stone.”

This brilliantly shining jewel was the biggest reason why I decided to come to the Labyrinth of Fallen Souls.

[Soul Stone]

A gem containing at least 100 times more magical power than the highest grade magic gemstone.

It was a treasure that made almost all miracles possible with mana.

Because it is such a difficult item to obtain, less than five soul stones will appear in the world over the next 20 years.

A treasure that cannot be bought even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars has now come into my possession.

“I will put this to good use.”

I stretched out my right hand and ripped the soul stone from the Soul Devourer’s chest.

[Uh…uh…uh…]

When the soul stone was torn off, the flame disappeared from the Soul Devourer’s eyes and he fell to the floor.

Coo!

It was the vain end of a monster that terrified many superhumans.

I held the soul stone in my right hand and looked at it carefully.

“Hehehe….”

I couldn’t stop laughing.

There are quite a few treasures I haven’t gone to look for yet, but among them, perhaps none can make me happier than the Soul Stone.

“If only I had this…”

I could undergo a complete transformation.

Then, you will not age in the future, your lifespan will be longer, and as a side effect, your skin will improve and your face will look more handsome.

They say that if you undergo a transformation, you will have a body optimized for martial arts training, but I wasn’t really interested in that.

There is only one reason why I need a complete transformation.

“You can live young and fresh for a long time.”

A young bachelor with a lot of money is naturally better at having fun than an old widower with a lot of money.

Is there a better gift than this for a happy retirement life?

“Hehehehe.”

I was so happy just thinking about it that I was laughing heartily when a little boy came up to me.

The color of the soul stone was so pretty that even the little boy seemed interested.

“What is that? Are you eating it?”

…At first glance, it looked like a fruit.

As the kid approached me from the right, I reflexively moved the soul stone from my right hand to my left.

I don’t want something to happen if a little kid touches it.

At that moment, something that should never have happened happened.

The soul stone in his hand turned to dust and began to disappear.

Pusssssss –

I shouted in surprise.

“What?! “Why is this happening?”

Before I had time to do anything, the soul stone turned to dust and slipped through my fingers.

The enormous mana that was felt within it also disappeared without a trace.

“…….”

I just felt dazed.

I didn’t even think about screaming or getting angry.

why? why?

It was my first time experiencing such an absurd experience since my regression.

It was then.

Tick.

I looked at my left hand at the sudden sound.

Tick.

The watch I wear on my left hand.

Tick.

A retirement gift from Joong-cheol.

Tick.

The ticking of this clock with five hands, said to have been created by some damn wizard on the continent of Byron

. Tick. Tick.

One of the clock hands that had stopped started moving again.

Only then did I come to my senses a little.

“Where did you go?! “Why is it gone? Did you eat it?”

The little boy was next to me with a surprised look on his face.

I muttered helplessly.

“Holy shit…”

Not knowing how distraught I was, the little boy shouted next to me with a surprised face.

“Was it delicious?!”

Stop it, really.
