I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 396

Star of the Reverse Sky (9)

A large training hall that is easily hundreds of pyeong in size.

Ohjin’s eyes widened at the pure white naked body that suddenly appeared in the middle of it all.

“No, it’s sparring!”

Why did you suddenly take off your perfectly fine dress?

No, I didn’t exactly take it off, but the dress itself melted and flowed down to the floor like liquid.

Either way, it was true that Cassia’s naked body was clearly exposed in the middle of the wide training ground.

Of course, Cassia seemed to have at least some conscience(?), but she stood guard as the last bastion, with traces of her dress remaining between her small, swollen breasts and legs.

Rather, the slightly obscured part overlapped with Cassia’s slender figure, creating an unbelievable sense of immorality.

“That’s right, sparring.”

“…what?”

Cassia looked at Ojin, who had a puzzled expression on his face, with a deep smile on his face.

and.

Slurp slurp.

An eerie sound echoing in my ears.

When her dress melted to the floor, hundreds and thousands of snakes crawled out of the black shadow created.

‘This.’

I didn’t even notice because my eyes were caught up in Cassia’s naked body.

Before he knew it, the place where he was standing was completely surrounded by black shadows.

“…Tsk.”

Come to think of it, when I had a fight with her in an abandoned building before, I saw the hem of her dress melting onto the floor, creating a shadow.

‘Is the entire dress I was wearing made of shadows?’

Using a dress to make your surroundings ‘favorable’ to yourself.

It was a similar technology to the ‘Sanctuary’ used by the Constellations.

‘Of course it’s not a real sanctuary.’

If Sanctuary is said to change the surrounding environment by creating something from nothing, the method she used was to release the shadows condensed inside the dress and cover them over the surrounding environment.

Although the phenomenon itself seemed similar, it was fundamentally different from the sanctuary.

But if there is one thing similar.

‘The area around here has now become Cassia’s territory!’

Shaaaaaaa!

Snakes crawled out of the shadows and shot at Ojin at terrifying speed, baring their sharp teeth.

“Hmph!”

The blade of the spear, blazing with blue lightning, split the charging snake’s head in half.

The thunderbolt that spread like a fan along the path of the spear blade burned the snakes.

As I confirmed when I fought before, the snakes that crawled out of the shadows had poor durability compared to their fast movement.

‘If it is the power of the Lyra Stigmata now.’

He swiveled the spear and pointed the blade downward.

Quad deuk!

A torrent of blue lightning spread around the spear that dug into the floor.

Shadow snakes swept away by a storm filled with powerful thunderbolts were reduced to ashes and swept away like a swarm of ants struck by a flamethrower.

Overwhelming firepower that makes you laugh out loud.

With just one attack, the training facility protected by a state-of-the-art barrier shook as if it would collapse.

Even though he created an explosion worthy of a tactical weapon, Ojin ran towards Cassia while holding his spear without even having time to catch his breath.

‘We have to drive away the shadow snakes before they crawl out again.’

Even while suffering from internal injuries, she summoned hundreds and thousands of snakes.

Now that his body is in good condition, he will definitely summon more snakes faster than before.

Now that the snakes had been wiped out in one go, it was the best time to target her.

Shoooooooo!

The spear, which followed the direction of the compass, was aimed at Cassia.

It only took 3 seconds to wipe out all the shadow snakes and reach Cassia.

It was difficult for even a high-ranking awakened person to properly understand the situation, let alone react.

“Hmm.”

Cassia raised her arms with interest shining in her eyes.

A wide-spreading shadow ascended her body and coalesced into the shape of a sword.

Contrary to his relaxed expression, the sword swings like a thunderbolt.

Crumbling!

A roar that was so powerful that it was hard to imagine that it was the sound made by swords and spears clashing, echoed throughout the training hall.

“her.”

Oh Jin laughed at the numb shock he felt through the spear pole.

“Did you know how to use a sword?”

“Oh my, no matter how weak I look, I can at least swing a sword?”

“No, that’s not it. “You haven’t used it before.”

“Hehe. “I was a little sick at the time.”

Cassia holds a sword made of shadows with a faint smile.

‘I never thought close combat was possible.’

Ojin, who had until now thought that Cassia was a long-distance mage, raised his spear with the expression that he had taken a hit.

“Then, shall we check your skills?”

Coo!

He took a rough advance and rushed towards Cassia.

Kaang! Kagak! Squeak!

Spears and swords clashing.

A fierce attack and defense ensued at a speed that no decent awakened person could even dare to follow with their eyes.

‘You’re stronger than you think.’

The power contained in the shadow sword was so threatening that one wondered where such power was coming from that slender body.

Sssssssssssssshhhh!

I twisted my body to avoid the fierce sword strike.

Although the swordsmanship itself was not very sophisticated compared to the power and speed of the sword.

‘It’s meaningless in the first place.’

Except for special cases such as Wugokseong Allen, awakened people who excelled in pure ‘martial arts’ were rare.

To put it bluntly, there is no way that people who lived ordinary lives before becoming Awakened would suddenly acquire martial arts talent just because they received stigmata.

And above all, the value of martial arts in the fight against the awakened was not that high.

In the first place, martial arts were created based on fighting between humans.

It was a technique unsuited to the fight of awakened people with physical abilities and strength that far surpass those of humans.

In the fight against the Awakened, the most important thing was not the skill to use the weapon, but how harmoniously the weapon and stigmata could be linked.

And in that sense, Cassia’s skill in linking the sword and the stigmata was so excellent that it made people gasp.

Sigh!

The shadow sword that was passing by suddenly coiled like a snake and suddenly changed direction.

She spread out her sanctuary to protect her body, but her sword, Ojin, easily dug into her open sanctuary and cut her side.

“Ugh…!”

Along with the tingling pain, I felt the magic circuit starting from the wound cut by the shadow sword being tightly blocked.

A poison several times more severe than when bitten by the shadow snake before spread through the wound.

“So, how are your skills? “Not bad, right?”

Cassia asks with a slight smile.

“I see.”

Oh Jin could only swallow his silence and nod.

Honestly, I didn’t expect Cassia to be this good at close combat.

‘but.’

Squeeze!

As the stigmata’s magical power was further increased, the poison spreading within the body burned into the brain and disappeared without a trace.

‘It’s not something I can’t deal with.’

Cassia was obviously much stronger than when she fought in the abandoned building before.

Ohjin was also stronger than then.

Pajijijijijik!

A fierce thunderstorm.

The silver light flowing from Ojin’s stigmata slowly began to encroach on the shadows.

It wasn’t enough to color the entire surrounding area like Vega, but the extent was incomparable to when the sanctuary was first used.

“Tsk…!”

A thunderbolt erupted from the silver-stained earth and struck Cassia.

Lightning starts to rush in all directions, as if you are standing in the middle of a storm.

The scars from the thunderbolts on Cassia’s body increased one by one.

‘If things continue like this… I won’t last long.’

A long-term battle was at a disadvantage for her as she could not use the sanctuary.

“Whoa.”

Cassia took a deep breath and raised the magic power of Stigmata even more.

and.

“hmm?”

Cassia’s body disappears as if melting into the shadows.

Ojin’s spear, which had been relentlessly pushing Cassia, had no place to go and split the air.

‘Where is it?’

When you turn your head and look around.

“This way?”

A voice coming from right behind me.

“Tsk…!”

Ojin urgently swung his spear towards the back.

No, not exactly.

I tried to swing it.

-Hehe, you were fooled, right?

Just as I was about to turn and swing the spear in the direction where Cassia’s voice was coming from.

Suddenly, an image appeared in my head of Cassia rising from the front and swinging her sword with a deep smile on her face.

‘This is…’

There was no time to think about such things.

Ojin trusted his instincts and swung his spear towards ‘front’ rather than ‘back’.

Pow!

“Aaaah!”

Cassia was accurately hit by the spear and was thrown backwards with a scream.

Ojin did not miss the golden opportunity and rushed towards Cassia, who was thrown back.

“Tsk…!”

Cassia urgently stretched out her arms forward and blocked her path with a shadow curtain.

Let’s go! Let’s go!

A thunderbolt dyed in black light lightly tore through the shadow curtain.

“haha. … I lost.”

Cassia took a deep breath and looked down at the spear pointed at her neck.

She stood up again, creating a black dress from the shadows.

“I didn’t think we would really lose.”

Even if Ojin reached 11 stars, I thought he would win unless he used ‘Gaecheon’.

To my surprise, my expectations were wrong.

“That’s because you treat it with the right amount of attention.”

“Isn’t that the same for Mr. Ojin?”

“Well… that’s true, but.”

What Ojin and Cassia did was just sparring.

No matter how much it was done in real combat, there were bound to be differences since the attacks were not launched to kill the opponent.

“But how did you know that I was in front of you at the end?”

“That’s…”

The moment I turned around, the image of Cassia smiling passed my head.

Perhaps, if Ojin had really swung his spear towards the back, the same future would have unfolded.

“Maybe it’s because of ‘future poetry.’”

“If you’re talking about the future… do you mean that you gained a new trait after absorbing Polaris?”

“huh. I’m not sure yet what the exact activation conditions are. “Once I’m in a crisis, it seems to show me a short future of just a few seconds.”

Considering the meaning that one second has in a battle between superhumans that can be misdiagnosed, it was an incredible ability.

‘My fault is that I can’t use it freely.’

anyway.

With this, the ability of ‘future vision’ has been confirmed.

‘It’s huge.’

The power gained from absorbing Polaris far exceeded Ojin’s expectations.

“It shows the future… “It’s an absurd ability.”

Cassia let out a low exclamation and took a step forward.

“Tsk.”

Is it because of the influence of Dalian?

At that moment, Cassia’s body swayed.

“are you okay?”

Ojin urgently helped Cassia up.

With a playful smile on her lips, Cassia wrapped her arms around Ojin’s waist and pressed their bodies together.

“Oh, are you worried?”

“…Did you do that on purpose?”

When Ojin smiled and placed his hand on Cassia’s shoulder.

‘hmm?’

A strange feeling spread down my spine.

‘what?’

Ojin narrowed his eyes and slightly added strength to the hand he placed on Cassia’s shoulder.

“sister! “What are you doing, clinging to Oh Jin again?!”

“Oh my~ I just felt dizzy for a moment so Ojin helped me. Why did you do that?”

“It’s dizzy. “You just stumbled on purpose, right?”

“I don’t know why our Bella doesn’t trust me so much~”

Cassia burst into laughter as she saw Isabella approaching with an angry expression.

“Then will the joke end here?”

I must have fully enjoyed the warmth of Ojin that heated up after the sparring.

The moment I stepped back to get away from him.

“Just wait a moment.”

Ojin grabbed her shoulder and pulled her.

“Huh? “Why are you doing this?”

Cassia looked at Ojin with a puzzled expression.

Ojin looked at her intently and then carefully placed his hand on her left breast.

“Kyaaa?!”

Cassia trembled and blushed at Ojin’s completely unexpected actions.

“Oh Oh Ohin?”

Cassia was so embarrassed that she even bit her tongue.

“What are you doing all of a sudden, Mr. Oh Jin? You’re not going to say that I’m treating internal injuries again this time, are you?”

[You’re so shameless!]

“Hey, you’re saying there’s something to touch that piece of gum?”

When the three women frowned and said one thing at a time at the sudden action of misdiagnosis.

“I feel the energy of the Heavenly Demon.”

The crowd froze coldly as the words flowed from Oh Jin’s mouth.
