I’m Not a Regressor Chapter 222

I am not a returner Episode 222

Interlude-Reunion (4)

“Hwaaaam.”

Ojin, who was lying on Poppy’s back, stretched and yawned.

“Are they all coming soon?”

Ojin grabbed Poppy’s mane and stood up.

The scenery inside the magic mirror caught my eye.

A densely grown forest.

The interior of the forest, which was originally supposed to be dark due to lack of sunlight, was not dark at all thanks to the insects that emit light like fireflies floating around.

Rather, I should say that the scenery looks quite beautiful thanks to the dreamy atmosphere.

‘Magyeong is not as desolate a place as I imagined.’

The inside of the magic mirror that I saw while riding on Poppy’s back for several days was very different from what I imagined.

Originally, I had imagined a world where there would be nothing but blood and slaughter in an endless wasteland like the Nine Heavens and Hells.

“…There are also villages and cities of their own.”

I couldn’t really go in and just saw it from afar.

Surprisingly, there were villages and cities within the Magyeong that were so organized that they could easily be called ‘civilization’.

‘Now that I think about it, you said there are beings called kings.’

Having a king meant that class and society existed among the demonic beasts.

‘I haven’t seen many demonic beasts with that level of intelligence.’

Most of the demonic beasts I have encountered so far were closer to beasts driven by primal instincts.

I never thought that such demonic beasts could create villages and cities, serve the king, and create a nation.

“Well… it’s not like there are no intelligent monsters at all.”

Typically, in the case of monsters called ‘named’, where a unique name is given to one monster rather than the entire race, most of them had intelligence greater than that of a human.

Although their movements have been a bit slow recently, before the appearance of the Black Star, the biggest threat to humanity was the Named, who lead numerous groups of monsters.

“…name it.”

There was a hint of anger mixed into Ojin’s voice.

Heavenly Dragon Barbatos.

The monster that took Ha-eun’s eyes was also one of the named ones.

“Crrrrrrrrrrr?”

Poppy must have felt alive and turned her head to look at Ojin.

Oh Jin stroked Poppy’s mane with a smile on his face, as if asking when he had started to kill himself.

“Oh, is it there?”

While I was crossing the forest, stroking Poppy’s mane.

A huge black crack was visible in the distance.

A huge crack measuring 50 km in diameter.

‘This is where the first crack and connection occurred.’

Because the crack was so large, it looked more like a wide black curtain than a crack.

“It’s time to go home now.”

Ojin lay down on Poppy’s back and opened the bag of potato chips that Cassia had given him.

I thought I would only be able to escape after an intense survival battle until I was first left alone in the demonic area, but thanks to Cassia, I was able to arrive comfortably as if I had flown business class.

“…I can’t wait to see you.”

Ha-eun and Isabella Begar and Riak.

It was only after I was left alone that I realized how much they meant to me.

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Did he hear Ojin’s muttering?

Poppy let out a low cry and moved her feet even faster.

The body shook up and down, but it was not a big problem for Oh Jin, who has a superhuman sense of balance.

Wooooow!

What Ojin saw before his eyes after crossing the black crack and returning to Earth.

“Keeeeeeek!”

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The appearance of sisters Allen and Isabella Xiaolin, fighting against tens of thousands of demonic beasts.

and.

“Oh Ojina! Ozzy… Huh?”

Even the sight of Ha-eun urgently calling out to him and then stopping in shock.

“…uh?”

Ojin, who was lying on Poppy’s back eating potato chips, had a hard expression on his face.

‘what is this.’

There was no time to leisurely assess the situation.

As soon as the thought ‘X happened’ crossed my mind, my body reflexively moved first.

“Wow! “Wow!”

Ojin immediately fell down on Poppy’s back, clutching his chest.

The deformation caused wounds, caused a lightning strike, and exploded internal organs.

“Cough!”

Dark red blood flowing from the mouth.

“Oh Mr. Ojin?!”

Isabella, who was fighting demon beasts on the right, must have smelled her own blood and urgently looked this way.

“How is everyone here…?”

Ojin raised his head with an expression of disbelief.

I urgently shouted at Isabella who was running towards me.

“Oh, no!”

He crawled on the floor and looked back at Poppy with a terrified expression.

“Everyone run away!”

“Oh Jin…?”

Isabella’s footsteps stopped as she approached.

[Poppy! Attack me!]

Taking advantage of the brief moment when Isabella’s footsteps stopped, Ojin activated Capricorn’s stigmata.

Using Stigmata’s power to control ‘sound’, he let out his voice so that only Poppy could hear it.

“Crumbling?”

Poppy tilted her head as Ojin’s voice suddenly echoed in her head.

[Attack me quickly! Right now!]

“Krrrrr.”

Poppy nodded and hit Ojin, who had fallen to the floor, with her large paw.

Wow!

Ojin’s body, hit by the front paw of a demonic beast that was tens of meters tall, flew like a cannonball and rolled on the ground.

“Oh Mr. Ojin!”

Isabella ran towards Ojin with a shocked expression.

Even while his whole body was throbbing, Ojin gave the next command to Poppy.

[Okay, stop there and don’t move any further. Raise your head while glaring in this direction.]

“Krrrrr!”

Poppy faithfully followed Ohjin’s instructions and glared at Ohjin, who had fallen on the floor with her head raised.

“To run away all this way… you’re a persistent guy.”

A low voice flows from Poppy’s mouth.

Of course, it was not Poppy speaking directly, but a fake voice created by Ojin using Capricorn’s stigmata.

[Snorting as she glances at the people around her.]

Poppy glanced at Allen and Xiao sister Isabella, who were fighting a group of demon beasts, and let out a strong snort.

“Heung!”

[No, not to the extent of spilling Shiba’s snot!]

Poppy lifted her front paw and gently wiped away the snot that had run down.

“…You’re a lucky guy.”

A low voice rang out.

“But no matter how hard you struggle, it won’t be of any use.”

It glared with fierce eyes and clicked its long beak.

“This world will find a new order under the name of the Black Star.”

Wooooow!

Black light enveloped Poppy’s body and burned ominously.

A cloudy and ominous magical power that made me feel sick covered the surroundings.

“Are you a servant of the snake?”

Allen, who had just decapitated the Basilisk, glared at Poppy with cold eyes.

Poppy frowned harshly, glared at Allen, and spoke in a fierce voice.

“Don’t talk about him in vain, human.”

“…also.”

Allen grabbed the hilt of his sword and his eyes shined sharply.

“The rumor that the snake deceived even the demonic beasts in the demonic realm was true.”

Until I heard that information from Cheon Kwon-seong, I wondered if he had even touched the demonic beasts living in the demon world.

Now I see that the rumor was true.

“Did you… make Mr. Ojin like this?”

Isabella, who was holding Ojin, who had collapsed and coughed up blood, slowly got up.

A red energy enveloped her body and shook the surroundings.

“How dare you dare, Mr. Ojin…!”

When Isabella grabbed the red scythe and was about to rush towards Poppy.

“Cough! Cough!”

Ojin began to struggle again, vomiting blood.

“ah…!”

Isabella hurriedly hugged Ojin and took out the potion from her arms.

Thinking that Ojin was in critical condition, she opened the cap of the highest quality potion she had brought and poured the potion into Ojin’s mouth.

“Isa…Bella.”

“It’s okay, Mr. Ohjin. “Because I came… I came to save Mr. Ojin, so don’t worry anymore.”

Tears flowed down Isabella’s cheeks.

“joy.”

Poppy, who was watching this, snorted as if she was annoyed and turned around.

[You can just go back as is.]

“Crumbling…”

Before entering the crack.

Poppy slowly turned her head and purred as if she was disappointed.

[It’s okay, Poppy. The day will come when we can meet again.]

“Krrr!”

Poppy, swinging her snake tail gently, entered the crack.

“…Let’s get out of here for now.”

Allen, who was watching Poppy’s retreating back, clicked his tongue and cut down the surrounding demons with his sword.

Is it because the snake’s servant has returned?

The momentum of the surrounding demonic beasts that had been rushing in violently was suddenly broken, and their movements became sluggish.

“Put on my back, Oh Jin.”

“thank you.”

“…Thank you.”

Isabella gently stroked Ojin’s cheek, which had become so haggard that it was hard to tell whether he had suffered a lot in the past few days.

“I… I was so scared.”

He hugged Ojin’s head and spoke in a trembling voice.

“I was afraid that I would never see Oh Jin again, that I would never be able to meet him… I was so scared.”

Tears flowed down my white cheeks and dripped onto the tip of my chin.

“Thank you for being alive, Oh Jin.”

Tears fell like dew on leaves in the early morning and wet Ojin’s forehead.

“Now… I won’t let go.”

Isabella added strength to the arm holding Ojin and made a quiet determination.

“….”

And Ha-eun was watching it all.

“That bastard is being damned again.”

He sighed, touching his forehead as if he had a headache.

***

After Ojin safely returns to Earth.

Ojin could not go home right away and was left in a hospital run by the Colgrande family.

To begin with, the wounds themselves were not minor, but after receiving extensive care from top-notch medical staff, he was able to stand up in no time.

“Haam.”

A VIP hospital room decorated like a hotel room.

After lying on a soft bed for 10 hours, Ohjin opened his eyes with a long yawn.

He continued his thoughts while lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling of the hospital room.

‘Still, how did you get through it so well?’

When I first made eye contact with Ha-eun, I thought my life was going to be ruined.

Fortunately, no one except Ha-eun saw him sitting on Poppy’s back, comfortably eating potato chips.

‘I rested well for the first time in a while.’

Is it because of the aftereffects of using the stream?

As I was feeling tired without knowing it, the care provided by the top-notch medical staff that Isabella provided felt welcome.

“Now I have to get to work.”

The moment I tried to wake up in the hospital bedroom.
