Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 742: To The End (1)

Chapter 742: To The End (1)

I could see Park Deokgu’s face, who seemed to be surprised. He still had a look that seemed stupid. He had a bad smell of sweat, but it was tolerable enough because he ran here to fight. It was understandable.

It wasn’t just him who felt surprised. I, who should be in the control room, was found in the middle of the temple, so it was perplexing enough to think about it from their point of view.

Some seemed to be on the alert, but when they saw the pig nodding as if it was okay, they seemed very relieved.

‘It won’t get rumored that I called him a pig b.a.s.t.a.r.d, right?’

It seemed that I had become a little bit emotionally intense without knowing it. Thanks to Lee Jihye, my life here didn’t feel so bad, but it was undeniable that I had acc.u.mulated stress problems.

Even when I thought about it, it seemed that my emotions had been greatly revealed, but as soon as I showed a decent appearance, I could see the people looking at each other.

‘It’s been a while since I saw them all.’

Ahn Ki-mo and Kim Ye-ri felt like a set. Even Hw.a.n.g Jeong-yeon was present. Other guild members seemed to have been incorporated into other units, but it must’ve been an unavoidable choice because they had to keep the balance.

The rest of the personnel were all unknown faces. I hadn’t seen most of them. They didn’t look bad in terms of their stats, but there were some flaws. For example, there were wizards who had too much stamina or too little magic. They didn’t look like people who we could use by my standards.

‘Where have they picked members like that?’

I wondered if I was asking for too much to compose the battalions with a few normal people, but I couldn’t expect much from guys who couldn’t see stats.

“Hyung-nim? Hyung-nim? Is that you?”

‘Of course, I’m Lee Kiyoung. Who else would I be?’

“He’s really the Vice Guild Master.”

“You should have told me in advance that you were here! I knew something was weird! Since when? No, more importantly, why were you here?”

“It’s too long to explain. I’ll tell you later. It’s better to move first. I have a lot to tell you, so let’s get out of here quickly.”

“No, first explain…”

“Let’s go quickly.”

“O-Okay.”

“You came, Vice Guild Master. It’s been a while.”

Ahn Ki-mo, who achieved the Pirate King’s dream, was reacting as if he knew I would come.

Even if Cho Hyejin thoroughly hid it, there must’ve been something they found strange… Anyone who was quick-witted would’ve been able to understand how things were going.

He must have been suspicious of having been given the rule to follow Alps out of nowhere.

“Long time no see.”

Kim Ye-ri, who gave a brief greeting, raised her hand as if saying that it didn’t matter if I was there or not, but her face welcomed me. She looked like she wanted to run at me right away, but I noticed her trying to keep her composure.

‘Be a little honest. Really. I know you have a lot of affection. If you pretend to be so cool, you start looking uncool.’

Finally, as if she was relieved, Alps, the new guild member, sighed loudly. I thought she couldn’t easily speak to me, so I thought it would be better to say h.e.l.lo first. I understood why she felt like she couldn’t easily approach me.

“Thank you.”

“Yeah… Yeah! Vice Guild Master!”

‘It’s nice to be in spirit. It should be like this for a newcomer. You have to have ambition, ambition. But actually, I’m not so grateful. It’s nice to see them. Honestly, I feel good, but just because I feel good, it doesn’t mean things will go well.’

I wanted to ask why they barged into the temple.

‘Should I have been firmer when telling them not to do anything else?’

I should’ve said not to say anything else when I was wearing the mask. No, that dog remembering me might have been the reason Cho Hyejin planned this operation.

‘It’s all my fault.’

For the time being, I smiled, and that was enough. It was annoying that something I didn’t know was going on, but I’d learn about it from then on anyway.

As I looked around a bit, I started to feel the halves picked up by Park Deokgu looking at me.

‘What do I do with them?’

It looked a little improvised.

‘They don’t look to be in good condition.’

They were able to fight a few times since they had the strong pig b.a.s.t.a.r.d. It was just the moment when I was about to give them instructions.

“Hyung-nim, stay right next to me. No. I’d rather run carrying you.”

“What?”

“Everyone, move!”

‘What was that?’

“Let’s take the position. Go, hurry up! So… that… the twenty-fourth. The twenty-fourth!”

‘What’s the twenty-fourth?’

My curiosity was quickly resolved.

‘This pig b.a.s.t.a.r.d…’

I could see the troops quickly reorganizing the platoon.

‘No, what the f.u.c.k is this?’

I knew from the start that they were well-trained. However, what the Park Deokgu army showed was more ideal than what I imagined.

‘Is this possible?’

It felt like a square puzzle in which deformed shapes were put together. It was a bit clunky, but it had a stable shape that I couldn’t complain about.

Park Deokgu was in the center rather than the frontline. The basic platoon would probably be different.

That shape, made in a slightly unorthodox way, seemed to have been made to protect the rear first.

‘The balance is good.’

The absence of Park Deokgu in the advance troops seemed to be a big weakness, but it felt more solid in some sense.

I had to look at the pig b.a.s.t.a.r.d with different eyes. I felt like a turtle since we could hide our necks inside the sh.e.l.l at any time.

‘Who the f.u.c.k are you?’

“It was you who said I could do better if you could.”

‘Still, f.u.c.k.’

“Advance! Advance!”

The unit members began to move. Park Deokgu started to speed up by attaching my body as close to the s.h.i.+eld as possible.

It felt like I could speak. It was a comfortable ride in its own way.

“Where are we going?”

“Oh, we’re going out of the temple. That was the plan.”

“What plan?”

“I’m not sure about the details… except that Hyejin told me to come outside if I could find something… I didn’t know what she was talking about then but come to think of it. I think she meant you. It’s my job to find you and go outside.”

“Did you secure a retreat?”

“I don’t know much about such details. I’m telling you this operation was completely top secret. Top secret. Oh, it looks like there will be a battle in front of us for a moment. Let’s talk after that.”

I couldn’t see it properly because my field of view was obscured, but I knew I could understand the situation with the telescope.

“Hey, move! Don’t stay still! Ms. Kim! What are you doing there? You have to move! Hey, Jeong-yeon! Heal! Heal! I’ve said many times that you shouldn’t miss the timing! Oh, that’s good! There! Ye-ri! Fascination dance! Fascination dance!”

‘Don’t do the dance of fascination. Please. Did you decide to use that as a formal technique? For real?’

“This feels good right now! Keep it as it is now! If we keep going at this rate, we’ll be able to win! Hang in there! Hold on! You have to hold on! No! How can you do that there! Ahn Ki-mo! Please fill it up! Ahhh! That’s so frustrating! Really!”

‘How is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d doing this? ”

“Jeong-yeon! Protection! Protection! Good job! Nice! Nice!!!”

His voice was roaring. The way he uplifted the atmosphere was seriously amazing.

It felt a bit clumsy, but somehow we pierced through, and the way Park Deokgu pushed his face, as if he were a mother bear checking if her babies were okay, came into my eyes once again.

“So… I can’t remember how far I told you…”

“This stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Top secret… f.u.c.k. Top secret. If you had secured a retreat while going outside.”

I wanted to slap his back and scream, but it’s hard to do that with his members around. When I whispered powerfully, it seemed that he noticed that I was getting more and more p.i.s.sed.

“That… I mean…”

“Don’t panic and talk straight. f.u.c.k.”

“Oh, that… I don’t know the details. I know they didn’t make a retreat… h-honestly, I don’t know well…”

“No, how do you not know?”

“Only a few of them, including Hyejin, know how things work. Maybe that… Red Mercenary’s Mercenary Queen or Park Yeon-joo from Black Swan too. Manager Kim Mi-young and the Republic and the Union, even the other races… one thing I can be sure of is that it seems that there are less than ten people.”

“What?”

“I don’t know where to start the story. I’m not saying there was a spy. Should I say it is a secret agent? Traitors who want to stand on the side of demons in angelic masks… Honestly, I don’t even know how they got into our ranks.

I felt a bit guilty.

‘Oh, that was my doing.’

“I don’t know if the talk didn’t go well… It means that we can’t trust anyone because things are going on like that from the command post’s perspective. Hyejin said that we could think of it as getting the parts.”

“Parts?”

“It’s not really taking parts and making something… So what should I say?”

“I know. It’s just an expression.”

“Oh, that’s it. It means that when everyone finishes their work, the desired result will come out on its own. So even if I want to tell you, I can’t. Oh, but I can tell you one thing.”

“What?”

“This was something Hyejin told me alone.”

“Yeah.”

“She said that she would never run away.”

“…”

‘I think I know roughly what she means…’

In fact, when I first heard that, I had at best imagined getting a retreat path and how to get back to the wall. However, if Cho Hyejin could have opened her mouth in that way, she certainly had something in mind from the command side.

‘How are you going to fight?’

What was a part? What material did we need to win?

It was also impossible to escape by teleporting. Didn’t they come to the temple through the ark because that was impossible?

‘Control device?’

I didn’t know if it was possible to escape by teleport if I fixed the controls that suppressed the magic power, but the troops were already scattered. It meant that they were already camping out.

As Park Deokgu said, there was no option to retreat.

‘I have to run away.’

In the ending scene that Yuno Kasugano saw, there was a wall. In order to realize the ending with Kim Hyunsung stabbing me, I had to return to the original place.

Either way, fighting until we died in such a place wasn’t the way to the ending.

‘Ah. Things got a bit complicated.’

When I tapped on my thigh with that thought, what suddenly came to mind is Kim Hyunsung’s voice.

‘Hayan from the first round moved the entire State.’

“Huh…”

‘It would be easy to understand if I told you that she changed the map of the continent.’

It felt like a hammer had hit me in the head.

I could transport the place where I couldn’t go to, to where I was instead.

“Ha… Haha, f.u.c.k… f.u.c.k! Pfff… Fuhahahaha!”

I finally knew.

“Whew… It’s amazing.”

Cho Hyejin had apparently intended to move the entire northern wall of the city to the front of the temple.
