I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 389:

Star of Reverse Heaven (2)

“Then let’s go straight to the training facility.”

Isabella, as if happy that Ojin had asked for her help, pulled Ojin’s arm with a slightly flushed expression.

“Right now?”

“Yes, you need to practice that sanctuary as soon as possible, right?”

“Yes, but… will you be okay?”

Isabella was kidnapped by Moebius and had just been released.

Even if there were no injuries, there would have been quite a bit of mental shock.

No matter how urgent it is to learn how to handle the sanctuary, isn’t it a bit much to head to the training facility with Isabella, who has just been kidnapped and released?

“I’m fine. “You’re not hurt anywhere.”

“I don’t mind either.”

Cassia smiled seductively and hugged Isabella’s other arm.

“No, Isabella, but not Cassia.”

Just a little while ago, wasn’t Cassia suffering from internal injuries that were close to fatal?

Even if Ojin treated her with the stigmata of Aquarius, it was only a temporary solution and not all of her internal injuries were recovered.

* * *

“Oh, it’s okay. “Thanks to Oh Jin’s treatment, your internal injuries have recovered to some extent?”

“To some extent, but not completely.”

“Hehe. “But you’re in much better condition than when you fought with Ojin earlier, right?”

Cassia shrugged her shoulders with a relaxed smile, as if telling her not to worry.

“Hmm…”

Ohjin continued to think for a moment and nodded slightly.

“Then let’s do something other than sparring today.”

The purpose of this training is to become familiar with how to handle the sanctuary.

Even if it wasn’t sparring, there were many ways to cultivate the sanctuary, which was still an unknown area for Ojin.

“You mean something else?”

“Come to the living room first.”

There was a training method I had thought of in advance.

“Aren’t you going to the training facility?”

“huh. “This is a method that doesn’t require you to go that far.”

“…?”

Isabella and Cassia tilted their heads and followed Ojin into the living room.

Standing in the center of the spacious living room, Ohjin held Isabella and Cassia’s hands with both arms.

I could feel the texture of different hands on both hands.

“This is…”

“What on earth are you trying to do?”

To call it training, isn’t it an attitude that seems like it should be some kind of ganggangsullae?

Oh Jin spoke with a serious expression towards the sisters who were looking at them with puzzled expressions.

“From now on, when I deploy the Sanctuary, I will use the magic power of the two of you to forcibly break through the Sanctuary.”

The sanctuary was close to a kind of unique barrier that was unfolded by maximizing the power of the stigmata.

A barrier is something that blocks the power coming from the outside to the inside.

However, as we saw in the previous fight with Anceladus, this barrier called ‘Sanctuary’ was not a completely flawless barrier.

‘If you hit it with more than a certain amount of magic power, it will break through.’

Sakaki and Lee Shin-hyuk were unable to pour out enough magical power to penetrate the sanctuary, but in the case of Ha-eun, she was able to pierce Anceladus’ sanctuary with pure magical power even without the constellation’s blessing.

There is no way Isabella and Cassia can’t do what Ha-eun can do.

In particular, if we were to join hands and not in an urgent battle situation like now, destroying the sanctuary would be much simpler.

‘First, I need to know how much magic power I can withstand.’

The training method of Sanctuary that Ojin thought of was extremely simple.

Just like pounding iron to make it hard, the sanctuary he had spread was destroyed and rebuilt again and again through the intervention of powerful magic.

It was similar to growing muscles by repeating the process of tearing and regenerating muscles through strength training.

‘Honestly, I don’t know if this ignorant method will work.’

Ohjin wasn’t sure whether destroying and rebuilding the sanctuary would make it stronger.

But that doesn’t mean I came up with this ignorant training method without any basis.

‘If Sanctuary is a unique barrier that maximizes the power of stigmata.’

It was clear that the more it was ‘eroded’ by the power of other constellations, that is, the magical power of stigmata, the more it would react violently to maintain its original nature.

To use an analogy, it would be similar to pouring water into hot oil.

Even if it was not a ‘sanctuary’, it was a common phenomenon for the powers of different stigmata to rebel and cause a violent shock.

‘Of course, there are abilities that are created by harmonizing the power of stigmata and stigmata, such as hydraulic affinity.’

This was because ‘Black Heaven’ itself had the ability to fuse the magic power of different stigmata.

In general, just as one awakened person cannot possess two stigmata, the magic power of different stigmata caused a strong rejection reaction.

‘In the case of sanctuaries, the rejection will be even stronger.’

Sanctuary is a unique barrier that maximizes the power of the stigmata, so it was natural that there would be a stronger backlash than the general clash of stigmata’s magic power.

and.

Such strong opposition will actually strengthen the power of the sanctuary.

‘It’s the difference between a wild animal that grew up eating only food given at the zoo and a wild animal that grew up in fierce competition in the wild.’

anyway.

All you have to do is test yourself to see if the reasoning you came up with in your head is correct.

Oh Jin looked at the two women who nodded as if they were ready, and slowly raised the power of the Black Heaven.

‘Sanctuary deployment.’

What comes to mind is the stigmata of Lyra, which is the most familiar and has made him who he is today.

The sacred area of the constellation Lyra unfolded as a soft silver light enveloped the entire body.

“Whoa.”

Even if it is spread out, it is an extremely small area of only 5 centimeters based on the skin.

Right now, this area was the maximum Ojin could expand into.

‘This won’t work.’

The light ministry he was currently performing had no other function than simply amplifying the power of the stigmata and protecting the body.

With my eyes closed, I pictured the ‘Dragon Palace’ created by Anceladus in my mind.

A tsunami that suddenly starts pouring down from empty space.

A huge palace rising from the sea and an army of thousands.

A true sanctuary transforms everything from the surrounding terrain to the environment with the power of the constellations.

A power truly worthy of the name ‘constellation’.

In order to obtain that power that seemed to mock the laws of physics, it was necessary to expand the sanctuary to a wider area.

“Then start slowly.”

“yes.”

“Isn’t it just a matter of pouring in magical energy?”

Cassia and Isabella’s magic flowed through their joined hands.

Wooooow!

The sanctuary surrounding Ojin’s body strongly resisted, pushing away the magic power of the two women.

“…It’s amazing.”

Cassia let out a low exclamation as she saw her magic bouncing around as if it were blocked by a huge barrier.

Is it possible to perform a ministry through the human body?

I had already seen it once when fighting Mobius, but seeing it up close and personal like this made me feel a new sense of wonder.

“But just because it’s a sanctuary doesn’t mean it’s invincible?”

Cassia’s eyes glowed eerily and her magic power increased even further.

Isabella, as if she would not lose, pushed the magic of stigmata even further through the hands she held with Ojin.

“Ugh!”

The powerful magical power of stigmata transmitted through both hands.

An image of a huge snake rushing from one side and hundreds or thousands of leeches rushing from the other flashed through my mind.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Although I concentrated all my efforts on maintaining the sanctuary to withstand the magical power pouring down like a tidal wave.

Kwa-duk, kwa-duk, kwa-duk!

The subtle silver light that covered their entire bodies swayed violently, and the magical power of the two women surged through the sanctuary.

Like enemy soldiers digging into a collapsed castle wall, violent magical energy swept through Ojin’s entire body.

“Keuuuu!”

A dizzying pain spread throughout my body.

A nosebleed broke out along with the sensation that the magic circuit in my entire body was being distorted.

“Mr. Ojin!”

“Are you okay?”

The two women urgently gathered their magic power.

“Huh oh oh oh oh!”

Ojin collapsed on the floor, panting heavily.

The reaction when the sanctuary was forcibly breached was more violent than expected.

‘but.’

To use an analogy, Ojin is now in a house he built himself, and Isabella and Cassia were in a similar situation as swinging a huge hammer towards the house he had built.

When the house collapsed, it was natural for Ojin, who was inside, to be shocked.

“Now wait a minute! “I’ll get you some water right now!”

Isabella, who knew that Ojin had a recovery skill called water affinity, tried to rush to the bathroom.

“No, it’s okay.”

“It’s done?! “I’m still bleeding…!”

“Anyway, internal injuries can’t be treated with hydropower.”

Of course, pouring a large amount of water was effective in treating internal injuries to some extent, but it was difficult to obtain that much water at home, not at a training facility.

“Whoa.”

Ojin calmed down the boiling magic and used Sanctuary Deployment again.

Wooooow!

A silver halo covered his body, shining beautifully.

‘It works.’

I felt that the sanctuary had become more solid than when I first opened it.

‘The range… has increased, albeit slightly.’

The corners of Ojin’s mouth turned up with a grin.

Now that I knew it was working, I knew what to do next.

“Please one more time.”

“…Are you out of your mind?”

Cassia frowned and glared at Ojin.

I just saw you pass out with a bloody nose. Are you asking me to do that again?

“It’s an order, Cassia.”

“….”

Cassia’s shoulders trembled at the word command.

She bit her lip nervously and looked back at Isabella as if asking for help.

Isabella shook her head as if to give up.

“Once Mr. Ojin is stubborn, no matter what you say, it’s useless.”

“…What is that?”

“You’ll get used to it, too.”

Isabella sighed and approached Ojin and held his hand again.

Cassia held the other hand as if she had no choice.

“…Can’t we at least reduce the amount of horsepower?”

“Then the training has no effect.”

You have to push in enough magic power to penetrate the sanctuary.

“Please.”

“…ha.”

“I guess what you said about being stubborn was true.”

The two women sighed deeply and frowned as if they had a headache.

“Oh, can you hold your body a little closer?”

“Like this?”

“little bit more.”

“It… touches your heart?”

“Because it’s easier to transmit magic power this way.”

Basically, the place where the stigmata’s magic is stored is the stigmata carved on the left chest, so if you pour in the magic while keeping your body in close contact, you can see a greater effect with a smaller amount of magic.

Cassia and Isabella hugged Ojin’s arms and brought their bodies close together.

“Then… let me begin.”

“If you can’t bear it, please tell me, Ojin.”

And so the training to develop the sanctuary began again.

“Okay. “I drank too much because of the poopy bastard.”

Ha-eun frowned and scratched her head at the strong smell of alcohol permeating her body.

While Ojin was away, Vega and I went to relieve our boredom by drinking a beer, but things got worse when Riak joined us.

‘Anyway, why was Cassia at my house?’

Ha-eun stood in front of the front door, leaving behind the ominous feeling that was rising for some reason.

Sweet.

When I opened the front door, the thick scent of blood irritated my nose.

“Oh Ojina!”

As soon as she smelled the scent of blood, Ha-eun’s expression turned pale.

Has Cassia done something?

When I headed to the living room with hurried steps.

“Huh oh oh oh oh!”

Ojin is sandwiched between two sisters who are clinging to each other’s arms like patties in a hamburger.

Ojin, sandwiched between the sisters, was breathing heavily and continuously bleeding from her nose.

“…How are you?”

Ha-eun’s expression became grimly distorted.
