Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ Red Dragon of the Apocalypse (5) ]

Conversion The moment the attack missed, Astaroth was engulfed in doubt.

‘why!’

It was a blow that could never fail.

Biene and Storas blocked the red dragon’s attack with their whole bodies, and Molech and Purson tied down the red dragon’s movements. In the meantime, Astaroth prepared a turning blow.

It was a blow that I was certain would cause fatal wounds even if it did not kill.

But

wow!

Astaroth’s claws tore through the red dragon’s shoulder instead of its heart.

‘It was an unavoidable attack!’

There was no time to dwell on that question.

The red dragon, enraged by the previous attack, roared and tried to chew him up.

-Gaaaaah!

Astaroth hastily stepped back. The red dragon’s teeth narrowly passed by my head.

-Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The red dragon summoned a huge thunderbolt of fire from the sky. The demon kings were scattered in all directions, but the forked lightning chased them down and electrocuted them.

[

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

!? The red dragon flapped its wings as hard as it could towards Astaroth.

-Whoa!

The red dragon closed the distance in an instant and opened its mouth wide. The red flame boiling inside was sprayed in a straight line.

[Oh no…!]

The moment Astaroth’s vision was filled with red flames, a strong wind suddenly blew and pushed his body to the side.

-Kwakwakwauk!

The breath obliterated the mountains tens of kilometers away and left terrible marks on the land.

However, it ended with Astaroth losing an arm.

All I could say was that I was incredibly ‘lucky’.

And at that moment, the red dragon felt the same question that Astaroth felt earlier.

‘It couldn’t have been avoided, right?’

It was a golden opportunity to put an end to one demon lord. Therefore, he used his breath sparingly, but the Demon King narrowly escaped it.

However, the red dragon could not hold on to that question for long either. It was during a battle. The demon lords were too strong to think deeply about anything.

[Now you won’t be able to shoot your breath for a while!]

[Lizard! I will tear you to pieces!]

The demon kings thought it was an opportunity and clung to the red dragon. The red dragon roared until the heavens and earth shook.

-Gaaaa! I will kill you no matter how many times!

The red dragon did not think deeply.

He was once called a great being, but now he is half-mad and the embodiment of death who hates all living things.

-Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

A fight that turned the world upside down continued. The blood of the red dragon soaked the ground, and the torn flesh of the Demon King flew into the air.

The aftermath of the battle also affected the remaining demonic forces on earth.

The dimensional allied forces had all retreated through the escape gate, but the Demon World army remained on the ground.

Every time the red dragon and demon lord clashed, thousands of monsters and demons were wiped out.

[Ooh, let’s go back to the Demon World!]

The high-ranking demons of the Demon King’s army tried to return to the Demon World again through the Hell Gate.

All of the dimensional allied forces had disappeared, and I believed that Baal would also forgive me in the face of such an unbearable disaster.

However, the Hell Gate connected to the demon world had already disappeared.

[The Crab Gate has disappeared!]

[Why…!]

[Then what should we do!]

As two more Demon Lords descended on the Quebec region, all of the overloaded Hell Gates in that area disappeared.

In other words, the devil’s army had nowhere to run to.

[If you fly to another continent…!]

Some demons and monsters with the ability to fly tried to escape as their last hope, but

– whoop! Bubble bubbling!

Combat drones sent by the Dimensional Alliance were already waiting in the sky.

The Demon King’s army, which was scattered and fleeing, was unable to break through the thick siege and fell.

[Quaaaagh!]

[I can’t do anything like this…]

[Demon King!]

It took less than a few hours for the hundreds of thousands of Demon King troops to be annihilated.

It was the same for the demon kings who had no back.

Baal, who was watching the battlefield through the magic mirror, let out strong anger.

[Where does that monster come from? Vasago! [Bring Vassago in immediately!]

Vassago, who had been called back to the conference room, responded bluntly.

[Didn’t I clearly warn you? The landlord might be up to something. I’m sure there will be risks… hmm. Although the scale was far beyond what I expected.]

[Basago! Did you know that dragon was going to invade?]

[Nenoooooom!]

Vassago chuckled at Baal, who was growling with his teeth exposed, and Agares, who was ready to attack at any moment.

[I am not a landlord, so would I know the future accurately and make a plan?]

[Basago!]

[Are you blaming me now? I said it was a risk, so I said I would send two people from my faction. Aren’t you the ones who changed my plan and became greedy?]

Everything that was said was correct.

Baal and Agares could only huff and puff and no longer get angry.

[Well, since things have come to this, I can only hope that the demon lords over there win.]

Vassago, leaning back on the throne, spoke in a relaxed voice.

Of course, Vassago already knew that that wouldn’t happen.

***

The fight between the red dragon and the demon kings continued for hours.

-Gaaaaaa!

[Damn lizard!]

The bodies of the red dragon and the five demon kings, whose bodies were stronger than anyone else’s, were in tatters, and their constant magical energy began to run out.

However, they still failed to inflict fatal injuries on each other.

There was always luck or a mistake at a critical moment.

They constantly hurt each other, but there was never a moment that could decide the game.

‘Why did I miss the mark again!’

‘I attacked like this…!’

It was a boring war of attrition. The desperate fight only eroded each other’s physical strength, magical power, and mental strength.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Compared to the beginning, the aftermath of the collision was noticeably smaller. It was still a ferocious battle that seemed as if it would destroy the world, but it was clearly lacking strength.

‘Something is strange.’

‘It’s as if someone induced this situation…’ By the time

the red dragon and the demon kings realized something was strange, it was already too late to turn back.

“I guess we can organize it soon.”

Starting with a small voice heard from the air, the situation of the war began to change rapidly.

***

Astaroth looked around with a desperate expression. However, the other demon kings were not in a position to help him.

[Why!]

The Demon King remembered the same question as a few hours ago. But things were completely different then and now.

It was an ordinary attack.

Of course, an attack from a monster like a red dragon could not be ‘normal’, but it was not so threatening that he, the Demon King, had to worry about it.

It could and should have been avoided.

If only the ‘luck’ that had saved Astaroth from danger several times until then had not turned into ‘misfortune’.

A sudden surge of force caused Astaroth’s body to move as if attracted to a magnet, and the red dragon did not miss the opportunity.

As a result,

Astaroth was now caught between the teeth of the red dragon.

[Wow! Let go! Let go!]

Astaroth tried with all his might to open the red dragon’s mouth, but the red dragon chewed its jaw vigorously as if it would never miss this opportunity.

Drop, drop, drop….

[Quaaaaa!]

The painful scream lasted only for a moment.

gulp.

The red dragon swallowed the piece of meat that was once the demon king in one bite.

[This is crazy…!]

[A lizard that will tear you to death!]

The angry demon kings all attacked the red dragon at once.

However, the gap from five to one was definitely large. The red dragon had an easier time avoiding the demon lords’ attacks, counterattacking, and clearly reducing their numbers.

-Quaang! Quang! Bang bang bang!

Storas, who was repeatedly trampled by the front paws, was reduced to unrecognizable mush and

– Kwaaaaang!

Binet, hit by the tail, fell deep to the floor. The red dragon crashed down on him like a meteor.

There are two left.

[Now wait a minute! Stop!]

[If we keep fighting like this, it will only be good for the Allied Forces! [It would be better to hold hands for a while…] As

the situation rapidly became unfavorable, Purson and Molech retreated and attempted to talk to the red dragon.

It was useless.

The red dragon, consumed by madness, no longer had reason.

-Gaaaaaa!

The red dragon roared and attacked the remaining demon kings. With a single flap of its wings, it created a storm, and flames spouting from its wide-open mouth set the sky on fire.

[Stupid lizard! Let’s try to the end, right?]

[If you kill us, you’ll be safe!]

The devils, driven by evil, also rushed to their deaths.

They knew that the Dimensional Alliance was waiting for this fight to end, but there was nothing they could do against a monster that was beyond reason and logic.

All you have to do is do your best to kill the monster and survive.

Fortunately, ‘luck’ was on the Demon Lords’ side this time.

-Fuuuuk!

-Fuuuuk!

Purson and Moloch’s attacks left deep wounds on the red dragon’s neck and chest.

-Bububububung!

In return, Molech, who was hit by Breath from the front, was reduced to ashes.

The final devil. Purson clung to the chest of the red dragon, which howled in pain.

-Sigh! Sigh!

Sharp nails slashed at the wounds on the red dragon’s chest.

The red dragon shook its body like crazy, but the furson hanging on its neck desperately clung to its chest like a matador hanging on a bull.

[done! If I pierce the heart of this monster like this…!]

Purson’s eyes glowed bright yellow.

The moment the Demon King foresaw victory in a voice full of joy,

he said, “No heart. “That has a separate use.”

Purson widened his eyes and looked to the side when he heard a small voice like a whisper coming from next to him.

[You…!]

Compared to red dragons that are hundreds of meters tall or demon lords that are tens of meters tall, you are a truly insignificant and small human.

Even its presence was so faint that if you hadn’t heard the voice, you wouldn’t have even known it existed.

But the moment he saw the man’s face, Furson knew that he had planned this whole situation.

[Landman—!]

The moment Furson let out all his remaining power with anger, Greatman used [Energy Manipulation] to move the magic around him.

That was the true nature of the ‘good luck’ and ‘misfortune’ that the demon kings and the red dragon felt until now.

By manipulating the magical power around him, he was able to exert physical force and use that power to ‘very slightly’ deflect attacks or slow down his movements.

Like right now.

Slippery.

The moment Purson’s hand slightly separated from the red dragon’s body, the red dragon had no choice but to shake the demon king off his body and throw him to the ground with a tail attack.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Flames poured down on Purson’s body lying on the floor.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

As if letting out all the anger it had built up, the red dragon spewed out flames until the ground turned black.

The cruel battle ended like that.

-Cow!

The red dragon landed on the ground as if it had fallen and stumbled for a moment. But soon he raised his head and roared for the world to go away.

-Kaaaaaa!

Most of its wings were torn and blood was flowing from wounds all over its body. Most of the horns appeared to be cut off or broken.

-Crrrrrrr….

The red dragon was breathing hard.

The Demon Lords were the worst opponents, and it was a fight where the outcome could not be guaranteed until the end.

But we won in the end.

I have killed all five demon lords and will now destroy this world.

But before that

– come out!

The red dragon growled and glared at a point in the sky.

An empty space with nothing. But the red dragon was sure that there was someone there.

And it was true.

Slurp….

The great man who released [Hiding] and appeared in front of the red dragon scratched his cheek.

“Did you notice it earlier?”

-I was aware of it even before that. And I know that you tried to lure me into collusion with the demon lords.

The red dragon was ‘half’ crazy, but not completely crazy.

While fighting the demon lords, it wasn’t difficult to figure out that Daein had lured him here and planned a plan to defeat the two.

-And yet, why do you think I obediently followed your wishes and fought against the demon lords?

“well?”

-Because it doesn’t matter.

The moment a sadistic smile appeared on the red dragon’s mouth, an unimaginable amount of magical power burst out from its massive body.

‘I still have that much power left…’

The red dragon of the apocalypse said, blood dripping from all over his body as the great man’s expression hardened.

-Anyway, I had no desire to live anymore. I thought I would fall into a long sleep and never wake up. But you disturbed my rest.

The red dragon glared at the great man with eyes filled with madness.

-You arrogant person who woke me up from my sleep to take advantage of me. Watch carefully. The price of your arrogance is the death of every life you know and the end of this world.

The red dragon warned Daein that he would regret waking him up.

However, the great man who knew the future could only snort.

“what? Eternal rest? It’s terrible. I heard that after a few years of sleeping, he would wake up and attack various places and cause trouble. “Don’t touch the poop, you disgusting lizard.”

The red dragon’s face was cruelly distorted by those harsh words.

-…I won’t kill you right away. I will carry you around like a toy, show you the entire process of destroying this world, and then slowly kill you.

“Have you said everything you wanted to say? Then let’s get started. “It just so happened that preparations were completed here too.”

Perfect!

When Daein snapped his fingers, dozens of gates were created behind him.

Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing!

Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing!

Jiiiing! Jiiiing! Jiiiing!

The elite of the Dimensional Allied Forces, all wearing divine suits, walked out of the gate.

“Cluck. “It’s finally our turn.”

“manager!”

“mister!”

“dad!”

People lined up in a row behind the person.

They sufficiently recovered their stamina and repaired their equipment while fighting the red dragon and the demon kings. And the red dragon’s battle pattern was analyzed through video.

The red dragon couldn’t help but tense its body due to the momentum they gave off.

-Krrrrrrr….

The great man pointed his finger at the red dragon’s chest.

“Take out my heart.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elite of the Dimensional Allied Forces rushed at the red dragon.
