Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 323: Hero of Laios (2)

Chapter 323: Hero of Laios (2)

‘We did enough! It was perfect, Deokgu! I’m sorry, but you carried us!’

No matter how intense the acting was, it would not be livelier than the real thing.

If one really made this into a movie, Park Deokgu showed acting good enough to aim for the best supporting actor award.

He seemed to be in deep despair with tears in his eyes, trying frantically to protect his colleagues.

It hurt a little that his whole body was now covered with blood, but seeing that he was a very strong guy, I knew he would be able to recover his stamina within a few days.

Rather, it was Jung Hayan and Han Sora that were the problems.

‘I’m also a problem.’

Even if I tried my best to hold it in, my vomit refused to bubble down.

It would be natural to be like this as I tried to support Jung Hayan with the little magic power I had. In fact, if I hadn’t been able to change my cla.s.s to the mythic-grade, the Alchemist of Light, Jung Hayan would have been a total mess.

She was able to endure until now because the magic power that I shared was slowly recovering her body.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, not only did she use all of her magic power in her body, but she was also using up the entirety of her vitality.

There was Jung Hayan’s tremendous affinity to consume magic power and restore magic power, but if it weren’t for my magical power that became divine, her insides would have been completely damaged and retired.

‘No, before that…’

If that Belial had been completely summoned, the magic would have already fallen into the city.

In any case, the important thing was that Jung Hayan and I were excellently defending against the magic of the demon that had been ‘summoned’ by Jin Qing.

I didn’t know anything about black magic, but I could see that the time left for the demon lord to stay in this world was short.

Now felt like the good time to wrap this up.

As I glanced at Belial quietly, I could see the guy also nodding.

“Hyung-nim, don’t overdo it. Hold on a little more.”

In the midst of all that, Park Deokgu, who was busy shedding tears and wielding a s.h.i.+eld, seemed like the n.o.blest one of them all.

Anyway, Jin Qing looked at me and Jung Hayan wrapped in a crowd of lights absurdly.

He already couldn’t think of getting rid of me.

As soon as Jung Hayan and I, who were doing our best to save the city from the demon, went through the media, this plan would be over.

I wished he would attack me instead, but it seemed that he could not cast attack magic either because of the dark curtain placed by Belial.

Since he couldn’t get out because of this guy’s monsters escorting him, it would be an awkward situation for him.

Of course, even in this extreme situation, the demon lord Belial continued to shout Jin Qing’s name.

-Contractor, it’s still not enough. Not enough. Don’t lose to the light, contractor!

“Sh*t. d.a.m.n…”

Instantly, we both realized that it was time to end this.

Even the place that could not be called a cave because the sky was already open began to spread in all directions in a slow manner.

Everything I was worried about as evidence burst in a cl.u.s.ter of light.

This place, created by Jung Hayan and Han Sora, disappeared without a trace.

The light also destroyed the demons who were persistently tormenting Park Deokgu, and even the ground we were stepping on had hollowed out.

Perhaps, with the influence of enormous magic power, my body had slightly risen into the air, and the light went through the veil of darkness.

Hwaaaaaaaaahh!

I heard a sound that was quite hard to describe.

‘It’s a warrior of light. A warrior of light.’

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!”

When I poured out the last handful of my magic power to Jung Hayan, it was natural that she also increased the output a little more.

The dark red magic power that surrounded the sky split under the influence of the s.h.i.+eld of light.

‘Phew. It’s a magnificent view. Magnificent.’

The brilliant light devouring darkness was like a beautiful scene from a myth.

At this point, everyone would be praying, looking at this scene.

I was not sure about Laios, but there may be a loud crowd shouting and a voice saying not to lose, at least in the State.

We were able to win because you were here!

It was only natural that I would have to prepare the lines I would use later.

By the time the brilliant light in the sky devoured the dark red sphere, Jung Hayan had held my hand and screamed once more. At this point, it would be better for me to play along.

“Aaaahhhhh!!”

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!”

Belial also showed off his final acting as if he noticed that the finale was approaching. He looked just as desperate as Deokgu.

-These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds… how dare you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds do this to me?! Did you think you could beat this demon lord? Contractor Jin Qing, hurry up and pour out the rest of your energy!

Here, a close-up of the bewildered face of the devil summoner was taken.

Then, there was another close-up to the scene where the attack against the city gained strength.

The pa.s.sionate cameraman Han Sora’s ability to switch screens was as natural as if she had just realized this talent.

-Ugh… these dirty henchmen of the light. Sh*t… d.a.m.n! d.a.m.n!! How dare these mere humans!!

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

It was strong acting that seemed to explode the last power. I, too, pushed my body to the limit while holding Jung Hayan’s hand tightly.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

And silence came.

An explosive light filled the sky afterward. There was no way to express that scene without literally the word explosion of light.

Hwaaaaaaaaahhh!

It was hard to even open my eyes properly. There were no more dark red spheres in sight.

Instead, there was a light powder that began to fall into the neutral Laios.

Jung Hayan started to droop, and Han Sora, who had already crossed her limit a long time ago, also vomited blood while having seizures.

Meanwhile, Park Deokgu prepared for Jin Qing’s next possible attack with a s.h.i.+eld.

I thought it would be better to pa.s.s out, but I could stand a little longer. That was, at least, until I had completely wrapped up the situation.

I kept smiling at the loud crowd’s shouts that shook the whole city.

Public opinion was completely settled in me. At the shout, Belial also slowly went through the process of reverse summoning, and began to say his last line.

-Don’t think this is the end, human.

Of course, the voice that I heard separately was a bonus.

[Don’t take it personally about today’s work, disgusting human. I finished my job a little more splendidly, and in the end, it was good for you. I want you to know that the lord of falsehood and incitement can’t be backstabbed, so I played a little bit more than intended.]

He went a little too far for this to be just a joke, but…

‘No question about it. Phew. Thank you very much, Great and respectable Belial. If I have time, I want to arrange a meeting…’

[Haap… I’m getting greedier.]

‘I will only be waiting for the day to meet Belial-nim. Yes. Absolutely.’

[Heroic-grade quest is generated. I told you not to talk with the demon lord. (0/1)]

[Then I’ll be going. I have little time to stay in this world… Anyway, as you said, I really hope to meet again.]

‘Have a good night, Belial-nim.’

-I will come back. Don’t forget, humans. Don’t think today will be the last!

Belial’s splendid finish till the end was the standard work of a hard-working boss.

He also looked very magnificent during the reverse summoning amid light.

Even during that, his burning eyes staring at the city were enough to instill fear into everyone’s hearts.

At first, I wasn’t sure if I should express my grat.i.tude, but he must have gained something with this.

Since the demon of falsehood and incitement was with us to scam the entire continent, the performance may have been better, as he had said.

‘That’s not what’s important.’

The demon lord who had already left was not important.

Jin Qing, watching this situation, being confined by the non-standard ent.i.ty, was now more important.

‘It’s almost time for people to come.’

The light side was on the verge of completely retiring.

Park Deokgu tried to protect us as much as possible with the s.h.i.+eld, but he was also in danger.

In contrast, the dark side was looking relatively fine, so it was natural to be dangerous if we were being attacked at this time.

Despite the aftereffect, Demon Summoner Jin Qing had no sign of running out of magic power.

‘If I get rid of him, everything will be over.’

Just then, I heard the sound of many footsteps.

The Red Mercenary Guild, Cha Hee-ra, Yozora Guild, and Yuno Kasugano had already arrived. I couldn’t help but smile.

I started to think about what would happen afterward.

Of course, the investigation team sent from the Republic also hurried to the demon summoner Jin Qing, but the people in the Laios were like rats trapped in poison.

As expected, I could see some of them trying to run away.

Even if it were me, I would have wanted to avoid the option of being investigated by Laios as well.

Like Ito Souta, the last thing that the demon officials did was always to run away.

Laughter popped out unknowingly at the thought that this was the end of the cursed darkness that had turned away from the light.

“The demon summoner is running away! Demon Summoner Jin Qing is running away! Pfff. The demon summoner is running away!”

It was then that blood spurted out of me.

“Huh?”

My head felt dizzy in an instant. My surroundings blurred out.

Along with the beeping sound, my mind went blank. My body now refused to move.

“Huh?”

Blood started trickling down my throat.

“Sh*t… don’t… miss him… demon… summ…”

I couldn’t even talk properly, but it surprisingly didn’t hurt.

‘I’m not dying like this, right?’

“H-Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim!!”

Park Deokgu had begun to cry out.

“Take care… of… Hayan… and Han Sora. I’ll trust Yuno Kasugano… to…”

“I got it. Don’t talk. I got it, so you stop talking!”

“Make sure to catch… the demon summoner…”

It wasn’t just him I could hear. There was also Cha Hee-ra and Yuno Kasugano.

“Do… you feel… better, master…?”

“Are you okay? Honey? Are you sure… you’re fine?”

I started to hear the beeping sound continuously. This was the real limit now. I was really on the verge of pa.s.sing out.

‘If I’m going to pa.s.s out, I have to do it properly…’

First, I held the rosary tightly on my neck. I knew that, upon seeing this, Pope Basel would inevitably shed tears of emotion.

I thought about fainting while standing, but I knew that would just be overdoing it.

A good option was to look like I was protecting Jung Hayan.

‘It’ll work.’

Soon, everything went black.

[Legendary-grade quest is completed.]

[Save Laios from danger as soon as possible, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. (1/1)]
