Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 767: To The End (26)

I didn’t know what adjectives to attach to Kim Hyunsung, surrounded by the glow of the sunset. I felt he was that sacred. It was neither Lucifer’s nor Benignore’s, but the way he was radiating his own light made me proud.

‘He was qualified right from the beginning.’

It was a sight that could only be explained by that justification.

Contrary to me, who struggled with just accepting the divinity given by Benignore, Kim Hyunsung’s body was already ready.

Whether we could go one step higher or not wasn’t up to the choice of the deep-rooted evils from above, but the choice of Kim Hyunsung. It was understandable as to why everyone wanted him.

He was an experienced newcomer. Whether it was black or white, it must have felt very sweet to them as well to be able to recruit such resources right away.

‘Fuck, look at that.’

Wings of sunset light. Sunset horn, sunset sword.

The appearance of the guy making a loud shout while shedding tears had the power to make my fist clench.

I got the expectation that he would be the one to make the impossible possible. A lot of people should see that. More and more people needed to know that the hero was indeed with us.

As I thought that, the Goddess’s Mirrors rose in the air simultaneously. To be able to sing the story of a hero who challenged the impossible, to comfort the warriors who were tired of fighting, and to imprint the fact that there was someone who was taking the lead.

Everyone had to look at it.

In an instant, the battlefield seemed to grow quiet.

While looking at the Goddess’s Mirror floating in the air, what would everyone be thinking?

I could see Kim Hyunsung swinging his sword. The sunset sword, which had not responded to him until that moment, was shining brighter than ever.

People were staring at the sky blankly. Everyone had forgotten what they were doing as they silently raised their heads.

Cho Hyejin was also looking at the sky as she exited the temple while supporting Dominions with one hand. I didn’t know why she was taking her out, but I could see a smile on her mouth.

She looked was relieved. It felt like a smile to Kim Hyunsung, who finally regained his true self.

She deserved that. When I thought about it from Cho Hyejin’s point of view, I realized how relieved she would be.

It was different from Kim Hyunsung when he was struck and paralyzed by numerous platinum-colored swords while in the form of a demon.

-Guild Master…

I thought it would have been more picturesque if she hadn’t called him Guild Master, but that was the limit of our Hyejin.

I didn’t know why, but I saw her loosening her braid that was finely tied, getting the hairband, and gripping it tightly in her hand.

Cho Hyejin’s long hair was fluttering in the wind in an instant, but she didn’t care much about it.

I wondered why she was like that, but it was suspicious that she kept holding tight to her band and looking at him.

‘Fuck, that’s not a gift from Hyunsung, right?’

-Be strong, Guild Master.

It seemed like that by the atmosphere. There was no reason to hold it that way otherwise.

As I remembered the bet I had with Jihye and turned my gaze while smiling, I could see Lee Jihye enjoying the break after getting out of Dominions’s body.

Gosh, Jihye, really…

‘The war isn’t over yet…’

I couldn’t say anything because she was resting after doing everything she could, but she shouldn’t sit across the window and have a cup of coffee either.

-If you’re looking, don’t scold me much, Oppa. Honestly, you know I’ve done everything I had to do. If you slip here, you’re unlucky. This is already out of my jurisdiction, so I can’t do anything. I have to leave it to the sky.

I didn’t even know what to say about the appearance of Ha Yeon-soo massaging Lee Jihye’s limbs.

-It’s pretty, Unnie. It’s really pretty.

-I think so too. Seeing that kind of thing makes me think there really is a god. No, is he already a god?

It was then that she let go of the cup of coffee she was holding in her hand. I reached out my hand to the cup of coffee that Ha Yeon-soo had dropped in a hurry, but in the end, I could see the cup of coffee pouring into the ground with a clink.

It wasn’t bad to show a cliché that something ominous would happen, but somehow it made me anxious.

-…

-Lee Kiyoung… nothing happened, right?

No, I thought something happened. I started not to see it too well.

-…

-…

-Yeon-soo, get ready to go out.

-What? Suddenly?

-Get ready to go out right now. Shit.

I wanted to laugh at her reaction, but when I saw Yuno Kasugano, it seemed like there was real trouble, so I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t know how to interpret the fact that she was sitting down silently and shedding tears.

It seemed that she wasn’t able to see a happy future. I didn’t know whether she couldn’t see or it was invisible, but her expression seemed to tell of Lee Kiyoung’s end.

Of course, most people were cheering.

-Oh God. Thank you. Thank you.

-It’s the Sunset Swordsman. Haha. It’s the Sunset Swordsman!

-Hold on a bit more. The Sunset Swordsman is fighting with us.

-Please! Blue Guild Master!

-We can do it! We can do it! Hahahaha!

Fighters fatigued from their battle were delighted that the end of the war was coming. The State and the citizens of Lindel, like my hometown, were also looking at that.

It wasn’t over yet, but they seemed to think that Kim Hyunsung would win in the end.

They constantly prayed, sent out cheers, and sang songs about the hero who protected the continent.

Weeping and hugging each other, they prayed for the hero who led them.

For him to hold on a little more, a little more, a little more, a little more…

Park Deokgu, that bastard seemed to be no exception.

-So cool. Right. Uncle. Our Guild Master Oppa. He’s really cool.

-Whew… Do you remember what I said? Didn’t I say we’d win? Well, I’ve said over and over again that he’d get rid of them all. That’s what happened.

-Can he really end up with this…

-Well, Ki-mo. Of course, he can. I guarantee you. If it’s hyung-nim and the Guild Master together… they can definitely do it.

It was a scene that made me laugh. I wasn’t sure when they started hanging around like that, but it looked nice.

Even more so when I thought of Park Deokgu in the first round. Seeing him have such growth, I felt good for some reason.

Hwang Jeong-yeon, who came to him quietly, was holding his hand. Both were looking up at the sky, and Park Deokgu muttered once more.

-I’m sure he can do it.

-Yes. He can definitely do it, right?

It was a smile that made me feel comfortable for some reason. That was probably why I liked that pig. Useless worries flew away in no time with him.

He would also live a different life from the first round. Noisy and fun every time. Maybe he would marry Hwang Jeong-yeon.

It felt awkward to think of him forming a family but just imagining it was fun. Thinking that Park Deokgu’s children would run around in the Blue Guild really made all the laughter come out.

Come to think of it. I decided to get married too. Right. Our Hayan was there.

‘If I die like this…‘

Hayan… Hayan would…

She sat and hugged Han Sora’s body part. It was a face breathing as if she was relieved as she looked up at the sky.

The fierce battle came to an end, and it seemed that she could finally rest a little.

‘…’

I was a little worried about the aftermath, but I knew she would be able to endure well with Sora.

No, I didn’t know why I kept reminding myself of death. Lee Kiyoung would live well until he became senile. It looked like I had gotten too drunk on my acting. Still…

-Oppa?

She was quick.

-O… Oppa?

Looked like our eyes just met. How could she tell? So scary.

-Oppa… O… O-Oppa.

I could see that she got up in a hurry and stumbled. Surrounding soldiers and wizards were holding Hayan.

Right. It was better not to let her come. It was rather fortunate that there wasn’t even a handful of magic power left in her.

The image of Hayan screaming and grabbing her head contrasted with the appearance of others around her. Jung Hayan was crying and grabbing Han Sora tightly with her hands among those who laughed and cheered.

Her pure white eyes looked at me.

I didn’t know how she knew… She didn’t get an attribute like Lee Kiyoung Instruction Manual, right? I hoped that wasn’t the case.

Oh, if I were to really die…

‘Heeyoung. Right. Listen to Heeyoung. She is one of the few people in the guild that you can trust and rely on. Look at her still praying calmly. The first meeting was a little bad, but if you had a chance… you could have gotten a little closer…’

I saw Elena and Elios. The two siblings, who stood between the different races, sat quietly and talked.

-Do you not regret it?

-You’re watching it right now. The Blue Guild is where I should be.

-Right. Haha. It looks like that. I thought I had seen many miracles so far, but… this sight is really…

-It’s beautiful.

‘I’m glad you don’t regret coming to the Blue Guild.’

In the meantime, Hee-ra seemed to be thinking of fighting with Sunset Hyunsung. I wished she would hold her desire back. It was good to move according to her instincts, but if she left it to her body too much, the people around her would have a hard time.

I was glad to have the Red Mercenary on my side. I couldn’t believe that the guild was the iron cage that kept her in lockdown.

-You worked hard, Queen.

-What about the battle?

-It seems to be almost finished.

-Hmm…

-Queen?

-What do you think? Who do you think will win if that and I fight?

‘Don’t fight. Please.’

-No, don’t answer. I should just enjoy it now. I really don’t know if this will end, but… It’s also a good thing to see that I can go up further. Looking at that, I can see why we were clinging to him.

I didn’t know if it was because it was a guild that revered strength, but it was noticeable that everyone was clapping and showing respect.

-Be strong, Blue Guild Master. Let’s all cheer.

-Be strong! Be strong!

-Hahahahahaha! It is finally over. Fuck. That’s it!

No, to be precise, it wasn’t over yet. The fight was still in progress.

Everyone cheered as the sunset radiance from Kim Hyunsung’s sword hit the sky.

Booooooooooooooooom!!

The foreign light then began to take form. The system with the intuition that it would suffer if he remained transformed into a giant that filled the sky, investing tremendous divinity in the process.

I could see that he tried to block the sunset light emanating from the sword with both hands. For some reason, the side seemed to be empty.

I remembered for a moment the scene where Park Deokgu shouted about the Spear of Longinus piercing God’s side when we were fishing, but I shook my head to clear it away.

I knew Kim Hyunsung could do it.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Sniff… Ahhhhhhhhh!!”

‘You’re tired, right? Hold on a bit. There are so many bastards who are supporting you.’

The people I had looked through with the telescope so far, those who shouted cheers, sung and prayed for Kim Hyunsung, yes. The Guild members who believed in us as well.

Oh, in Jung Hayan’s case, a little filter was needed, but… except for her…

Our newbies. I couldn’t call them like that now, but Ahyoung and Chang-ryul… and even the new guild member Alps. They were all cheering for him.

There was also the Black Swan Guild Master who said she liked him, and everyone rooting for him regardless of age or sex. Maybe it would be the last time, but… no, I thought it was really, really, the last one for some reason.

There were so many people who believed in him. There were so many bastards who supported that bastard.

Through the Regressor Instruction Manual, I shared what I saw to Kim Hyunsung.

Perhaps Kim Hyunsung was also feeling it. What I’d seen for a while, he’d feel how the continent was looking at the final battle.

He surely knew how many people were giving strength and praying to him. I could see him holding back tears and biting his lips tightly.

‘Be strong. Fuck. Our regressor.’

Finally, a pair of wings rose from behind his back.

‘Right. That’s it. Be strong, Altanus’s regressor.’

His sunset sword cut through the foreign light.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Sniff… Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Kim Hyunsung’s light completely erased the opposition until…

I could see it.

I could see the pouring sunset.

“Ha… Ha… haha…”

Laughter came out as if I was deeply absorbed in the roleplay. Wasn’t it really funny?

I didn’t know what happened afterward, but it was funny that Lee Kiyoung’s end was really like this.

I thought it would be nice if Kim Hyunsung chose the latter between saving the continent and Lee Kiyoung. In the end, it was ridiculous that I was the one that would need to make a sacrifice. Really… I was really embarrassed.

I didn’t know why I did this either. I watched it despite being uncertain, but… really… really… I… I must have lost my mind. I must have been too drunk.

“Kiyoung?”

“…”

Still…

The scenery wasn’t too bad.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Kiyoung?”

“…”

At this, my eyes closed.
