I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 317:

Faded Promise (9)

A brightly burning flame.

The flames that filled the wide cavity began to swirl and flow into Ha-eun’s body.

“Ugh!”

Ha-eun’s expression distorts.

A huge tsunami of magical power was flowing into her body.

“Ugh!”

“What kind of heat!”

The demons who were continuing their fierce battle with Ojin groaned and took a step back due to the terrible heat radiating from Haeun.

“sister!”

Oh Jin ran toward Ha Eun, who was absorbing the flames with an urgent expression.

Cheeeeeeeek!

Every time I approached Ha-eun, I felt my skin burning from the extreme heat.

“Kellion…!”

In a development that was different from the ‘prophecy’, Ojin glared at Kelion with a fiercely distorted expression.

Of course, when planning this strategy, we also took into account the risk of Kelion betraying us.

Nevertheless, the reason why the operation was carried out was because after calmly examining Kelion over the past few days, it was not determined that he was ‘lying’.

Even though it was a misdiagnosis, it didn’t mean you could see through all the lies at a glance.

At least, even though we thoroughly investigated the suspect over several days, we never failed to detect a lie.

‘Kellion didn’t trick us.’

So how on earth did this situation come about?

“Why… why?”

Kelion was staring blankly at Ha-eun, who was absorbing the Dragon God’s soul, with a pale, exhausted expression.

According to Cailus’ prophecy, a woman with dragon eyes had to wake the dragon god from his sleep.

but.

Even now that the Dragon God’s soul was freed, the Dragon God’s tightly closed eyelids had no intention of opening.

No, it wasn’t just that he wasn’t keeping his eyes open.

Grumble, rumble.

The sleeping dragon god’s body was melting in the heat that filled the cavity.

The breath that was periodically blowing out of the nose stopped, and the overwhelming feeling of being suffocated just by looking at it faded.

okay.

The dragon god Kaleios was dying now.

“Isn’t this different from the prophecy?”

Something is wrong.

It’s like putting together a scattered puzzle and ending up with a completely different picture.

“Lord Kaleios…”

Tears flowed down Kelion’s cheeks.

He got up and staggered towards the dying dragon god.

Cheeeeeek!

The pain of burning flesh.

Even though his head felt like it was burning white, he didn’t stop walking.

Dragon God Kaleios.

A dragon who remained in the kingdom alone to save the dragon people who were nothing more than slaves.

A merciful god who did not give up on the dragon people even though he was pointed at by other dragons.

Was it when a large army of demons came?

Although more than a hundred years had passed, the conversation he had with Kaleios back then was still clearly engraved in his heart.

-This place is dangerous!

In response to the urgent warning, Kaleios nodded quietly as if he already knew.

-You must abandon your kingdom and run away!

Although it was not as long as the dragons that lived forever, the lifespan of the dragon people was also quite long.

Kelion was leading the dragon tribe when the demon tribe invaded a hundred years ago.

At that time, Kelion suggested abandoning the kingdom and running away with the remaining survivors.

but.

-Isn’t this your home of life?

Kaleios’ answer was decisive.

He, who was born as a noble being called a dragon, declared that he would risk his life to protect the home of the dragon people, who were born to serve them.

It was a foolish dragon.

It is like a king pulling out his sword and heading to battle to protect his subjects.

No, maybe even more than that.

The relationship between the dragon and the dragon people was not a complementary relationship like the relationship between the king and his subjects.

A king cannot exist without subjects, but a dragon can exist even if there are no dragon people.

To the dragons, the dragon people were nothing more than slaves that could be conveniently manipulated.

For such a worthless being.

Why did he risk his life?

-You are not slaves.

In response to Kelion’s question, Kaleios continued speaking with a warm smile.

-I am the proud children of Kaleios.

Even after a hundred years have passed.

-It is an invaluable treasure.

Those words that never fade.

“Why… why… won’t you open your eyes?”

The tears flowing down Kelion’s cheeks evaporate in the heat.

When a woman with dragon eyes came to visit him.

I was filled with hope that I would finally be able to meet the Dragon God again.

“Didn’t you say that if you have the Dragon Eye… you can open your eyes?”

It was said that hope is the greatest seasoning of despair.

Deep despair filled the place where hope had disappeared.

Kelion looked at the dragon god’s body gradually melting away with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

One step, two steps.

I take steps towards the dying dragon god in the searing heat.

When his whole body was covered in burns.

“Come to your senses, you bastard!”

The hand holding his shoulder pulled Kelion towards him.

Kelion fell backwards like a wooden doll whose strings had been cut.

“…damn.”

Oh Jin chewed his lips with a nervous expression as he watched the flames being absorbed into Ha-eun’s body.

Looking at Kelion’s distraught reaction, it was clear that he did not intend for this situation to occur.

then.

who.

‘Now is not the time to think about that.’

Rather than who intended this situation, we had to check whether the current situation was harmful to Ha-eun or not.

“sister!”

He called out to Ha-eun, who was engulfed in flames and couldn’t even be seen.

Did he lose consciousness due to the huge tsunami of magical power?

There was no answer coming back from the flames.

‘Damn it.’

Oh Jin took a step towards Ha Eun, who was engulfed in flames.

The terrible heat pushed him away, as if warning him not to come any closer.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

One more step through the burning heat.

Gurgling!

As I walked into the burning flames, I raised the power of ‘Black Heaven’.

‘The only way is to absorb fire with black cloth.’

It’s unclear what effect the enormous magical power contained in the dragon’s soul will have on Ha-eun.

There was no other way than to consume all that power on his own.

“ha.”

Place your hand on your left chest.

The black sky sleeping within the pulsating heart beyond the pale skin.

The power of the Black Sky awakened and black clouds spewed out.

The black sky clouds began to devour the fiercely burning flames.

‘do.’

I could feel the magic contained in the flames flowing through the black stream.

It was good news that he could absorb the flames flowing into Ha-eun instead.

‘It’s not enough.’

The amount absorbed was unreasonably insufficient.

No, to be precise, the magic contained within the flames was so great that it was excessive.

Oh Jin chewed his lips.

In the end, there is only one card left.

‘You have to use Gaecheon.’

There was no other way than that.

“He who passes by me…”

Ojin quietly chanted with his hand on his left chest.

at that time.

“Oh Ojini, you want to use that technique?!”

Ha-eun’s voice was heard from the flames.

“…sister?”

“I’m fine, so don’t use that!”

Are you okay?

How can one be okay while accepting such enormous magical power into one’s body?

“I’m not lying…”

“I’m not lying, you bastard! “You’re good at telling whether people are lying or not!”

“….”

Just like she said.

Ha-eun’s voice, heard through the flames, seemed ‘healthier’ than expected.

“Wait a minute, this is almost over, so just wait!”

The fire that was burning so fiercely as if it would burn the entire world gradually began to fade.

Ha-eun was seen walking out of the subdued flames.

“…sister.”

Ha-eun, who walked out of the fire, looked closer to a dragon than a human.

Red scales cover the nape of the neck and parts of the cheeks.

Pointed ears and vertically slit pupils reminiscent of a reptile.

Hot flames were burning around Ha-eun’s body, which had taken on the form of a dragon.

No, to be precise, part of her body itself had turned into ‘fire’.

Is it similar to using Gaecheon or Brain Body?

Her body was burning like a flame, and tremendous heat was radiating out in all directions.

“Wow, I thought you were suddenly absorbed by me and getting cold feet. “Is this really what it is?”

Ha-eun looked around with a confused expression.

The body of the dragon god melting into her eyes appeared.

“uh? “Why is he dying?”

“I don’t know.”

“…Is it because of me?”

“….”

Ojin kept his mouth shut.

Although it seemed like it happened when the soul that should have gone to the dragon god came to dwell in Ha-eun.

In the first place, it was unclear why the soul was absorbed by Ha-eun rather than the Dragon God.

“I’ll adjust the firepower for a moment.”

Ha-eun must have thought that she had to stop the dragon god’s body from melting, so she captured the flames that were spewing out everywhere inside her body.

The heat that had been heating up the entire cavity disappeared in an instant.

but.

“…are you dead?”

Once the breath of the dragon god was cut off, it could not be continued again.

Even the flames that periodically shot out of his nostrils, which proved that he was still alive, no longer came out.

The dragon god Kaleios.

The merciful god who sacrificed his life for the Yongin people.

It was completely dead.

“Ah ugh. iced coffee…!”

Kelion approached the half-melted corpse of the Dragon God.

“Lord Kaleios…! Lord Kaleios!!”

In the end, he could not open his eyes and sobbed while holding the dead god.

A sorrowful crying sound.

Ha-eun looked at Kelion, who was crying with a confused expression.

“haha!”

“What is that heat just now?”

The Demons, who had retreated from the terrible heat, approached again.

“…I see that you guys are still left.”

Ha-eun, who was looking at the crying Kelion, turned to the demons.

Grumble!

The flame that had been absorbed into her body burned again, emitting fierce heat.

“Ojina, I’ll try to deal with those guys alone.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

Although their numbers had decreased considerably during the fight against Ojin, there were still close to thirty demons remaining.

If it had been Ha-eun before, it would have been a force that she wouldn’t have dared to face alone.

“Yeah, I think it’ll be okay. “If only now.”

Ha-eun nodded with a confident voice.

Ha-eun slowly walks towards the demons, leaving Ojin behind.

The more she took a step, the more the fire absorbed within her burned wildly.

“Damn it!”

“Juktaek!”

The Demons, who were hesitating due to the terrible heat, took out their weapons and rushed at Ha-eun.

and.

“I’m crazy, I’m so strong, but am I coming?”

It didn’t even take 10 minutes for the thirty demons to be reduced to ashes.
