Regressor Instruction Manual-Chapter 734: Unusual Events (2)

Chapter 734: Unusual Events (2)

‘This kid doesn’t have the skills, but he’s strong.’

Raphael, who desperately reversed the Jordan River Express, was strong.

The one who penetrated Thronus’s chest with a heavy sword, the one that returned from hell, was about 0.5% of Kim Hyunsung. No, 0.6% of Kim Hyunsung seemed to be enough.

He was spreading his wings and continuing to inject grayish power.

I wasn’t certain, but wouldn’t that gray light work pretty lethal on pigeons?

It was so natural to be at odds that it was probably eating away at the inside of an angel’s mask like poison.

His face was distorted by pain and seemed to tell me that my prediction was right.

“Are… Are you oka-”

“Die.”

“Cough… Cough.”

In time, the moment Raphael’s sword was pulled out of his chest, he started breaking apart.

He was floundering, reaching out to me, but I couldn’t allow the devil’s grasp, so I pulled back slightly.

Behind him, who fell helplessly to the side, was Raphael smiling broadly, covered in blood.

“Hyung.”

‘Oh, my. Our grey warrior is here? You’re very reliable. Reliable indeed.’

“Hyung.”

There was a sense of accomplishment in the face of our holy sword warrior. He ran hard to prove his existence and eventually showed it, so it was only natural that he felt good about himself.

Seeing his hands shaking, I guessed he still hadn’t calmed down.

His face was engraved with his belief to walk with the light.

That was the difference between Thronus, who was down, and Raphael.

He would’ve had lots of questions that needed answers. He defined Kim Hyunsung as evil, and eventually, our regressor wandered about among the dead.

If one thought about it a little bit, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to have questions. Raphael’s last fight wasn’t so good.

However, Raphael was in front of me, overcoming all odds. He knew for sure how not to abandon faith, not to question it, and not to think deeply about it.

To follow the light with infinite trust, to walk without any doubt along the path led by light. There was no need to list the differences between the grey warrior and the pigeon.

‘Yeah, your role was big. Really.’

It was Raphael who had healed the wounds of the regressor.

‘You’ve become very reliable.’

If he hung in there, he would realize once again that he would win someday.

I never thought I’d be so proud for not taking off his life support. He had grown a lot. At one time, I didn’t want to look at him, but at that moment, I was smiling at him.

‘I told you, Noona. I told you he’d be helpful one day.’

I knew he was a keeper. I was glad I didn’t sell him then. That was what judgment was all about. Lee Kiyoung, the genius investor.

The grayish magic, which had always filled his body, seemed to be a little larger, and his status also rose.

It was the empirical part, but Raphael was stronger than he should be. Of course…

‘That doesn’t mean you could’ve killed Thronus on your own.’

It was a sight to behold, the angel being on the floor. I didn’t know if he was distracted or if he didn’t intend to stop it in the first place, but he was dying as a result.

Of course, I didn’t bother to look at her. Raphael in front of me was my priority.

I thought it was better to show my disbelieving expression.

It was a natural reaction to question whether what was really in front of me was real or whether it was just a dream. My eyes would’ve been filled with tears, but I thought it would be better to shed tears in the end instead.

‘Oh, but did he hear me earlier? I think I cursed too.’

There seemed to be a minor problem, but it was no big deal.

People only heard what they wanted to hear.

It was more of a cute act than a foolish one at a touching reunion.

“Raphael…”

“Yes.”

“Dear Raphael…”

“Yes, Hyung.”

“Dear Raphael.”

The name I was calling freely at that moment, my little brother, Raphael.

“Yes…”

On second thought, showing tears didn’t seem to suit the imposing light. It was hard to stop crying midway, but I had to hold it in. I liked his weak but strong-minded position.

“Thank you, Raphael. You listened to my voice.”

“It was blurry, but I kept listening. In the midst of sinking into the darkness, I could hear a voice calling me… Yeah, I heard voices telling me to get up.”

‘I don’t think that’s what I said.’

“It told me to save you, Hyung. Maybe Benignore guided me. I didn’t think we could meet like this, but… I’m sorry it took a long time to stand in front of you.”

‘Hey, you’ve grown up, Raphael.’

“I think it took a really long time. I’m so glad I could add my weak strength…”

“No, it didn’t take that long, Raphael, and… Your power is not weak at all. It’s the power of the choice to save the continent. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, so I don’t know where to start. There are many things I want to talk about.”

“So do I, Hyung. Are you feeling well? Are you hurt or uncomfortable? Do you think these devils will ever…”

‘These bastards are really bad guys. They really need to die.’

“How can these devils… Should I kill them?”

I liked that, too. I was so happy to leave the judgment to the situation side by side.

Of course, we should kill them. If we kept them alive, they might be a source of trouble. They were retired, but they were still a bit tough.

“…”

I didn’t answer, but I nodded. The unspoken positivity made Raphael raise his sword high.

I heard a loud voice right next to me.

“Here! Here!”

“Here’s Lee Kiyoung!”

‘Fucking Pigeons…’

There was no time to think about other things. I felt my body moving at the same time as I heard the deafening roar.

I didn’t react, but our holy sword warrior responded to the enemy attacks.

Rapid movement and white lights could be seen being executed in our vicinity, but the space that came in after the gray light shone brightly was a different place from the place before.

“I’m sorry.”

“…”

‘These bastards are quick to react. It’s perfect. Sh*t. Cherubim. You’ve already released it, haven’t you? Oh, but shouldn’t Thronus have hit the rough patch?’

If Raphael decided he didn’t have time, I wouldn’t be able to help it, but it was a shame.

It wasn’t enough to say that it was threatening to think that Thronus stood up again and pointed a sword at mankind.

‘This is not good.’

They would find out that Thronus was dead, and they might confirm that Lee Kiyoung was siding with the humans again.

‘No, I mean, wouldn’t they have realized everything by now?’

There was no way I could stop thinking while being carried away by Raphael because I had to think about how to move with the most efficiency.

Raphael’s reach there probably widened the scope of the battlefield. I could be sure, even if I didn’t look at it with a telescope.

The landing operation was successful, and Cho Hyejin would divide the troops and use the whole temple as a battlefield.

Unless Cho Hyejin was a fool, she was after something, so she was trying to deal with that. Of course, rescuing me was included, but I really didn’t think Cho Hyejin came only for my rescue.

If it was right to take that much risk, there was definitely something I wasn’t aware of yet. That much was clear.

“Where should we go? Hyung? First of all, join the main force… No, towards the ark. The road is blocked, but…”

‘Should I really be carried by Raphael back to the ark?’

I had to make a good choice. There was still something I could do.

‘Seraphim.’

Did he know I pressed the switch button?

Perhaps he hadn’t been told directly.

Cherubim and Seraphim had different walking routes and were still moving for different things at that point. Seraphim believing in me or not was a different story, though…

Admitting that Lee Kiyoung pressed the switch button again denied the judgment of the sin he believed in.

Decisions were made in an instant, and choices were made in an instant.

“No, Raphael. You go back first.”

“What?”

“There’s still work to be done. If you’re not too far away, I’ll send you a signal right away.”

I thought it might be too much, but… It was now time to throw the dice.

Of course, I didn’t gamble because it was a winning game, at least to some extent.

‘But there’s something I need to pay back.’

I had something to take my revenge against Seraphim.

“B-But…”

“It’s really important. It’s urgent.”

“…”

“I know it’s dangerous, but I have to. Believe me. I’m sure everything will be fine.”

“…”

“…”

He wouldn’t be able to refuse. Raphael was also aware that the current situation wasn’t so good while judging if there would be meaning to my actions.

There was no way he didn’t feel that pigeon forces were pressing towards us.

He wouldn’t be able to fight with me in his arms, so it was better to send me somewhere safe and then deal with the pursuers.

The suggestion came at the moment when he was assuming that I would become a bait.

There were few options and quick judgments. Raphael’s voice came in between the changing background and fell down.

“At least I’ll take you somewhere safe. And… I’ll be waiting not far away, so please send me a signal.”

“Thank you, if possible, for the devils who are headed this way…”

“Yes, I’ll try to stop them, Hyung. I’ll be back in 20 minutes.”

“If there’s no signal after 20 minutes, you can come right away. Please.”

‘You have to find me. Okay? You can’t abandon me.’

“Yes.”

While answering, his eyes were in a different place.

He seemed determined to deal with the pursuers quickly when he saw them flying right away.

The lack of time was the same for me. It was definitely a race against time.

Before the story of Lee Kiyoung’s betrayal went into Seraphim’s ears, I had to work quickly.

‘Noona, are you ready? We have to do it fast. We’re running out of time.’

I had to do a job that needed a soulmate.

‘Jihye. Sh*t, where is she? What the hell are you doing?’

I checked where she could be with my telescope, but I couldn’t see anything.

‘Oh, sh*t, is she really acting like Dominions took her soul?’

As I continued to look around the battlefield with my telescope, what I saw were Cho Hyejin and Dominions.

-What did you do with her?

-I just did what I had to do.

-I asked you what you did to her!

-I told you. I just did what I had to do.

‘Oh, Sh*t. Noona, come on. I told you not to. Really.’

Did she really want to do that in such a situation?

-If you want her soul back, defeat me if that’s even possible.

‘Come on, Lee Jihye, don’t act like you lost your soul to Dominions. Sh*t, we’re in a hurry right now.’

-Let me introduce myself again. I’m Dominions, the soul stealer.

“Ah… don’t say things like that.”
