Regressor’s Life After Retirement

[ Red Dragon of the Apocalypse (1) ]

“. ..defective?”

As the great man turned around with a puzzled expression, the hero with a stern voice walked towards him with flowing ebony hair.

“okay. defective.”

Tall and slim body. She was a haughty beauty with skin like white jade. She was wearing the ceremonial uniform worn by the martial arts people.

The beautiful woman who arrived in front of Daein looked him up and down with sharp eyes. There was a mysterious light in the turquoise eyes.

“Are you the landlord? “More than what I heard… hmm.”

Somehow swallowing back words was more meaningful.

Although it was his first time seeing the woman, Daein somehow seemed to know her identity.

In the first place, there were few beings in Abraxas’ Lair that could walk around so confidently.

“Are you Blue Dragon?”

“Well, you have a good eye for seeing.”

A woman nods her head with her arms crossed.

Its true identity was the blue dragon that Abraxas met in Wulin.

After Abraxas parted ways with Daein’s group in the martial arts world, he wandered around the entire martial forest with the desire to meet the blue dragon.

In the meantime, after some minor turmoil – the birth of a new world’s best beauty, the men’s bloody battle to take her, and the fact that she was annoyed, she defeated them all and eventually became the best female middle school student – she was able to meet Cheongryong.

The two became friends, and after various events, the blue dragon was currently living together in Abraxas’ Lair.

The name of the blue dragon was Yeonhwa.

“softening. “Weren’t you sleeping?”

Abraxas asked with a shocked expression. It was an expression that was not typical of her, so Daein looked at the two in turn in wonder.

Yeonhwa narrowed her eyes and glared at Abraxas.

He seemed somewhat upset.

“He said something was strange. “I was wondering why he was bothering you so much all night… Are you trying to hand over that defective product to him while I’m away?”

“It’s not like that.”

“joy. “You’re always like that.”

…Apparently, the two seemed to be closer than anyone could have imagined.

Wendy, who was quietly listening to the conversation, asked Daein with an innocent look on her face.

“dad. “What’s been bugging you all night?”

“…Kids don’t need to know.”

The great man pulled out a trick and blocked Wendy’s ears.

And I asked the dragon and the dragon who were bickering over their love.

“Hey, what do you mean by defective product just now?”

Yeonhwa looked back at Daein as if asking if he was still there.

“Literally. That spear cannot be used as a weapon. No, you shouldn’t use it.”

At that resolute attitude, Abraxas shook his head and sighed.

“There is one minor problem. But it’s not something to worry about too much.”

“A problem that cannot be fundamentally solved is not called trivial.”

Dragon and dragon were in a tense confrontation with Daein in the middle.

“What should I do if there is no way? The only way to solve the power source problem is with compressed magic stones…”

“Is it because you don’t know what will happen if you do that? As a co-producer, I cannot allow the greatest masterpiece of my life to be wasted as a disposable product!”

Yeonhwa raised her finger and pointed at the Spear of Longinus.

The golden window, tens of meters long, was emitting brilliant light.

The first artifact in history created by dragons and dragons working together.

That’s a defective product?

Daein intervened in the conversation between the two.

“Let me know. “What on earth is the problem?”

They both answered at the same time.

““It’s a power source.””

“…?”

Abraxas added an explanation to the great man’s expression of not knowing what he was talking about.

“To handle the power of five godly jewels, the spear itself needs strength and energy beyond imagination. “That way it can maintain its shape without collapsing.”

“We have secured enough strength. “The teeth and scales were removed from my sleeping body and used as a skeleton, and Yeonhwa’s beard was also used as material.”

“That was the first beard I’ve ever had!”

The black-haired beauty even added a behind-the-scenes story that Daein never wanted to know, saying that she even gave her old beard the cute name ‘Soso’.

“…Anyway, the window itself was made so well that it couldn’t be more perfect, but I couldn’t find a power source to go inside it.”

Holy Lance Longinus is an artifact of a level that did not exist before.

There has never been a weapon equipped with as many as five divine jewels before or since.

Abraxas sighed and said.

“For now, the best thing to do is to connect thousands of top-grade compressed magic stones inside.”

“So, it’s a defective product. In its current state, if the power of the jewel is fully activated, the window will melt before it lasts even 10 seconds.”

Yeonhwa added with a stern expression.

In other words, the force in the spear was so great that it would not be able to withstand it.

The great man narrowed his eyes and said.

“From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem to matter much. “After all, that window was made to be used only once.”

The purpose of creating Longinus was to change the laws of the Demon World by stabbing the ‘core’ of the Demon World.

As long as he could achieve his goal, he didn’t care if Longinus was torn to pieces.

Even in the past that Daein knows, the Holy Spear was used only once.

Daein decided to persuade Yeonhwa.

“I know it’s a waste because it’s a weapon the two of us created together, but if we can use it even once, that’s enough.”

Because that one time will end the war.

But Yeonhwa’s story is not over yet.

“Even if there is a possibility of it exploding during use? What if the scale of the explosion is unimaginable?”

“…what?”

At that moment, the man’s expression became serious. He glared at Abraxas. The look in their eyes was as if they were asking why they didn’t tell such an important story sooner.

“What are the chances of an explosion?”

Abraxas waved his hand, saying it was no big deal.

“no way. Not long. “10%?”

“Hey…”

The great man’s expression became very distorted.

Because he was the one who would directly use Longinus.

“That means it explodes once in ten times!”

Only Daein knew where the core of the demon world was located, and the only person who knew how to use Longinus was Daein.

A 10% chance of an explosion

was too big a risk to gamble with.

If you think about the power inside, it means that if it explodes, you will definitely die.

The great man broke into a cold sweat. He quickly changed his stance and took Yeonhwa’s side.

“Fix it quickly! “Make sure it never explodes!”

“Even if you say so… I can’t find a proper power source.”

“Are you short on magic stones? Then I’ll give you everything that’s mine.”

“…It’s a question of quality, not quantity. “We need a single energy source that can withstand the power of those gems.”

“How about using multiple soul stones instead of magic stones? “I also have quite a few soul stones.”

The soul stone had tens to hundreds of times more magical power than the highest grade magic stone.

In the past, a great person could undergo a complete transformation with just a soul stone.

But Abraxas shook his head.

“Soul stones are unstable because their properties are all different. The risk of explosion will only increase. “It is better to use a lot of top-quality magic stones.”

The magic stones that were larger than the standard size that came out of the monster’s body were collectively called ‘soul stones’, but their properties were all very different.

The great man asked with a despairing face.

“Is there really no way? “Is there nothing that could be the power source or something?”

“Actually, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, but… it’s almost impossible to get it.”

“I guess.”

Yeonhwa also nodded with a stern expression.

‘Abraxas can’t save it?’

Inside Abraxas’s lair was almost every treasure a great man could imagine.

Moreover, considering the power and knowledge she possessed, it was questionable whether there would be anything in the world that could not be obtained.

At this point, I became curious about the object itself, regardless of whether it exploded or not.

“What on earth is that?”

Then the dragon and the dragon answered at the same time.

“Dragon Heart.”

“Yeouiju.”

When the great man looked at me with a blank expression for a moment, Abraxas sighed as if he knew that would happen.

“You understand now, right? What kind of crazy dragon would take out his heart to make an artifact?”

“It’s the same in Yeouiju. Because Yeouiju is more important to us than life.”

Dragon Heart or Yeouiju.

It was said that only at that level could a weapon be made that could withstand the power of the five jewels.

“Damn it…”

Daein had no choice but to tear out his head.

If it’s the demon lord, they’re still fighting on Earth, so I might be able to catch at least one of them.

But a dragon?

The power of an adult dragon is almost comparable to that of the Demon King. In addition, the Dragon Lair is protected by powerful magic and numerous guardians.

The legend of the Dragon Slayer is just a legend even on the continent of Gaia.

Besides, it doesn’t make sense to go and kill a calm dragon to get a dragon heart.

‘Unless some crazy dragon goes on a rampage in the human city…’

“…Huh?”

At that moment, an idea flashed through Daein’s mind.

‘If I do this well…’

I’m killing two birds with one stone.

Ditch and catch crayfish.

Of course, it is not without risk, but there is much more to be gained when successful.

“…If that problem is resolved, can the completed window be used in the future? “Keep wearing the gems?”

Abraxas thought for a moment and nodded.

“Once used, the gems will lose most of their power, but they will recover over time.”

good night. So let me ask you one more thing.

“How much is that window worth if it is completely completed?”

Yeonhwa raised her head and said, as if her pride had been hurt by that question.

“I assure you. “There will never be a better recruit than that one.”

“I think the same.”

The strongest artifact in history guaranteed by dragons and dragons.

The reward is worth the risk.

The great man came to a conclusion.

“Okay, I’ll get you a proper one.”

“…….”

“…….”

“Why are you reacting like that?”

I thought he would like it, but Abraxas’ expression was becoming hard.

“Are you really planning on hunting dragons?”

“It’s roughly similar…”

“I’m the Dragon Lord. “Did we talk about it before?”

“…uh?”

Ssssssut.

A chilling magical power flows out from Abraxas’ body. She said with a stern expression.

“As you know, most dragons are fierce individualists. Even if the demon lords invade Gaia, not Earth, they won’t come forward as long as they don’t touch them. but.”

Fierce magical power poured out from Abraxas’ body. She was truly warning Daein.

Don’t cross the line.

“As a Lord, I have no intention of watching my people being hunted by humans. Even if it’s you, no matter how good your intentions are, it’s not okay. “What if…”

“Whoa. calm down.”

The great man waved his hand and dispersed the magical power. Then he stroked Wendy’s pale head and said,

“Don’t act cruel because the child is scared. “I also have no intention of touching a still dragon.”

When the great man said that with a calm face, Abraxas actually became embarrassed.

“…Then what are you going to do? “Aren’t you trying to save Dragonheart?”

“Of course I will get it.”

Just one.

The great man knew a dragon he could hunt without any guilt.

A being so powerful that it can be compared to Abraxas.

“If he’s a very bad guy and a dragon from another town, it’s okay, right?”

“…?”

The dragon and the dragon looked at the great man with a face asking what he was talking about.

***

Earth a few days later.

Dimensional Allied Demon King Headquarters.

Joo Sang-wook immediately connected to the report that Dae-in had contacted him.

Soon, the great man’s face appeared on the screen.

“Vice President! “You handled your business well… Who is she again?”

A girl I had never seen before was riding a horse around the man’s neck and laughing.

The great man said with a straight face.

-Please refrain from asking personal questions in urgent situations. … Which battlefield is being pushed the most right now?

There was a strong feeling that he was intentionally diverting the conversation, but Joo Sang-wook first answered faithfully as asked.

“This is Quebec, Canada. “The three demon kings that appeared in the Canadian region formed an alliance.”

Joo Sang-wook sent the battle situation information to Dae-in and added an explanation.

“Currently, the Heavenly Demon Church and Hicks Kingdom forces are covering the area. Lily also went to apply. Here, the Canadian and American troops have joined forces to somehow block it…”

Joo Sang-wook’s expression was dark as he continued his explanation.

“Honestly, the situation is very bad.”

As the dimensional allied forces were stronger than expected, the demon kings who had been acting individually joined forces to form a front line.

In particular, the Quebec, Canada region was the first to form a coalition of demon kings, and the allied forces were currently being pushed back to the point where it was dangerous.

The great man looked like he was thinking about something for a moment.

-Three demon lords… I think it might be a bit lacking.

“yes?”

-Troop in Quebec. Tell them to prepare to retreat within one hour.

“Yes!?”

Daein grinned and said to Joo Sang-wook, who looked like he wanted further explanation.

-I’m thinking of dropping a crazy dragon there.
