Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ To the Demon Realm (1) ]

Whoa whoa !!!

The roar of the red dragon that shook the heavens and earth gradually turned into a scream.

-I, a great being, to these insignificant things…!

The red dragon struggled violently as if he couldn’t believe the situation he was currently in.

The aftereffects of fighting the demon lords were clearly significant.

The wounds inflicted by the demon lords did not recover easily, and with torn wings it was no longer possible to fly without the help of magic.

‘Even so, it can’t be like this!’

To be torn to pieces, broken, burned, frozen, and thrown to the ground by just a few dozen humans!

-Quaaaaaang!

The red dragon fell to the ground again and struggled to get up, staggering.

And he glared at the humans with his only remaining eye.

-I am the great dragon Khitan Elgrado de Varques! You lower races! Everyone kneel before me and commit suicide!

Dragonheart’s mana was drained in clumps, and the magic of the spirit was activated.

It does not work on demon lords, dragons, or beings with strong mental barriers, but lower-level creatures cannot disobey his orders.

But

– commit suicide! I mean, commit suicide!

Despite repeated commands, the elites of the Dimensional Allied Forces did not flinch.

“What do you mean?”

“They said it was a crazy dragon, and it was true.”

“Don’t worry, attack!”

They were all among the strongest in their respective worlds, and the divine suits they wore basically had the ability to resist [words].

Words, which were my secret weapon, don’t work!

The red dragon couldn’t believe that he was being pushed further and further into a corner.

-These bug-like things-!!

In the past, even when destroying a world, killing compatriots who got in the way, reducing empires and kingdoms to ashes, and fighting against demon kings, the red dragon has never felt the danger of its life as seriously as it does now

.

-Why why! Are you trying to harm me?! What have I done to you!

The red dragon’s voice began to tremble for a different reason than before.

The angry red dragon’s gaze turned towards the great man.

The great man was watching the dragon hunt with his arms crossed.

“I haven’t done anything yet. Not yet.”

In the future that everyone knows, the Red Dragon of the Apocalypse comes to Earth after turning a total of three planets, including the world where he lived, into ashes.

At that time, if Earth had already functioned as a dimensional hub and numerous superhumans and strong people had not existed, Earth might have become the fourth planet to be destroyed by the red dragon.

-Are you going to kill me for something that hasn’t even happened yet?

The red dragon suddenly burst into laughter. But that smile was full of anger.

―Tell me honestly that the reputation of being a dragon slayer made me want my heart, scales, and blood! Isn’t that your human nature?

The red dragon looked at the blonde elf standing next to the great man with his only remaining eye.

Although he looked like an elf, the red dragon sensed that his opponent was no ordinary elf.

―My fellow countrymen! Do you think that person’s words are persuasive? So is that why you’re standing next to me, watching me?

The elf was Abraxas, who had just come to Earth from another dimension.

Abraxas looked at his compatriots who were being hunted by humans with a complicated expression.

“…….”

How did a dragon who was almost as old as himself end up like that?

Curiosity and compassion coexisted in Abraxas’ complicated eyes.

The red dragon looked at her and chuckled.

-I also once believed in humans. No, I loved it.

The red dragon did not stop talking even while fighting the Dimensional Allied Forces. His smiling face even looked quite solemn as he was bleeding profusely from his entire body.

-He became the guardian dragon of the empire and blessed it with magic. He generously passed on his knowledge and gave away treasures. What do you think the price would have been?

The great man looked back at Abraxas with an embarrassed expression.

“As. I need to keep listening to that bastard…”

“Why? “I want to hear more.”

The great man’s expression hardened slightly, and at the same time, the red dragon’s only eye became animated.

The red dragon howled, striking the ground with its tail as if breaking it.

-It was a betrayal! Fellow countrymen! Don’t be fooled by humans! They will trick you, betray you, and kill you one day! I will cut off your head and decorate it in my closet!

Even the strongest members of the Dimensional Alliance flinched at the cry filled with desperate anger.

Among them, those who knew Abraxas’ identity turned their heads to look at her.

If Abraxas falls for the Red Dragon’s persuasion, the Allied Forces will make an enemy that will be difficult to deal with…

At that time, Abraxas opened his mouth.

“I came to see the world you were in just a moment ago. “They destroyed the cities to the point where not a single blade of grass could grow.”

-I just made the people who betrayed me pay a fair price!

The red dragon growled like a wounded animal. However, Abraxas tilted his head with a subtle expression.

“I thought so too at first. If a dragon goes half crazy, it’s definitely not an ordinary story. But…”

Her every word heightened the tension on both sides.

Depending on whose side Abraxas takes, the flow of this fight could completely change.

“Did you see dragon corpses among them? It wasn’t just one or two. Some of them died before they could even resist properly, perhaps because they were ambushed.”

―That’s….

The red dragon was speechless for a moment.

Abraxas spoke, radiating frost-like energy.

“Dragon from another world. Why was a world completely destroyed? “Did you kill all non-human races, including trees, birds, and even your own people?”

-They hindered my revenge. So I had no choice….

The red dragon’s eyes wavered. A series of lame excuses followed.

The red dragon was neither sane nor in a state to lie properly.

Abraxas’ expression became colder.

“I wasn’t even looking for a proper excuse anyway. “I saw the world you destroyed, and I saw how crazy your eyes were.”

Paaaaaa!

Golden magic began to flow from Abraxas’ body.

She has strengthened the doll she currently uses as her body more than 100 times compared to the past.

Of course, he couldn’t compare to the main body, but just with the power he had now, he was a more powerful wizard than anyone else present.

“I believe that your existence poses a threat to my people on the Gaia continent. “As the Dragon Lord, I will eliminate you.”

Abraxas intervened on the battlefield.

Kugugugugung…!

Powerful magic crushed the red dragon. The red dragon’s movement slowed down noticeably, and the Dimensional Allied Forces’ attack added to it.

―Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ignoring the screams of his compatriots, Abraxas looked back at the great man.

“Finish it quickly. “No matter how crazy I am from another town, I don’t want to see my fellow countrymen being hunted for a long time.”

“…thanks.”

“No thanks? “Aren’t you helping me to say thank you?”

The red dragon screamed and struggled.

However, the game was already tilted to the point where the result could not be reversed.

The tail, which had crushed the enemy like a mace, was cut off first.

Then, the wing ridge was separated by a sharp blade and fell to the floor.

―Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Harpoons flew from all directions and pierced through the cracks in the broken scales. When the harpoon was pulled, the exhausted red dragon lost its balance and fell to the floor.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaang…!

It felt as if the entire mountain had collapsed. The strongest swordsmen in the Dimensional Allied Forces jumped above him.

“Cluck. “This is only my second time slaughtering such a large animal.”

Cheonmugeuk ascended to the red dragon’s chest. The Sword Masters of the Gaia Continent, the experts of the Heavenly Demon Church, followed suit.

-no! Stop it! stop! please…!

The red dragon, terrified, struggled and resisted.

Whick!

The great man also jumped directly onto the red dragon’s forehead.

The eyes of the red dragon, who was said to have no regrets about life, were filled with the fear of death.

-Just save my life! I will do whatever you tell me! If I have to fight the demon lords again, I will fight…!

It was a pretty tempting offer, but the great man shook his head.

“Because what we need is not a dragon, but a dragon heart.”

The red dragon realized that he had no chance of survival and howled in a fit of rage.

-You have no right to kill me!

“……”

The great man stared at the red dragon.

The future has already changed a lot. Perhaps, due to some butterfly effect, the red dragon continued to sleep in his own world, unlike in the past.

‘Or maybe it was the other way around. ‘It might have turned out to be a more terrible disaster.’

Even if you think about it deeply, it is a complicated story and there is no answer.

Daein decided to think simply.

To end the war, we need the Dragon Heart, and this guy has it, so all we can do is hunt him down.

However,

the great man glanced at Abraxas, who was watching the scene of dragon slaughter with an expressionless face.

‘From now on, hunting for dragons should be strictly prohibited by Union law.’

I don’t know why, but that decision prevented at least two future wars.

“There will be no pain.”

The great man raised the Heavenly Demon Sword and aimed it between the eyes of the red dragon.

At that moment, the red dragon shouted desperately as if he remembered something he had forgotten.

-Now wait a minute! I have something to say!

The red dragon pursed his lips and the great man thrust his sword.

Phew.

The great man who pulled out the sword from between the red dragon’s eyes looked back at the people and said.

“…It can’t be helped that it’s already broken, but please treat the remaining scales and bones as undamaged as possible.”

Soon the full-scale slaughter began.

As it was a difficult hunt, the amount of loot was enormous.

***

The 3rd Hell Gate has ended.

All Hell Gates created throughout the world were destroyed, and all the demon kings who descended on Earth were either killed or captured.

Although there was considerable damage, the Allied Forces defended all areas.

Among them, the battlefield where the greatest victory was achieved was Canada.

『Scoop! Subdue the five demon kings with the plan of the prophet lessor!』

『Dragon Raid Success! From beginning to end! Live interviews with officials!』

The media widely publicized the victory achieved by the Allied Forces along with the name of the great man.

In the face of the great disaster that struck the Earth, people wanted to hear stories of hope rather than despair, and the name ‘Renter’ became a symbol of hope throughout the world.

Daein also did not hide what he had done. Rather, they actively made it known.

The effect appeared immediately.

“Did you see the news? “Thanks to the Prophet accurately predicting the city where the gate would open, no civilians were harmed?”

“Is there anything we can do for him? I heard he sacrifices his life to make a prophecy…”

“As long as he is, we will win the war.”

People needed a hero.

The names of people who played an active part in various fields such as Cheonmugeuk, Wang Guho, Baek Changsu, Alyna, Queen Sword Saint, and Murim Lord Cheongun were on people’s lips.

But no one could surpass the stronghold of the Prophet Leaseman.

Knowing this, Daein was also using his name to stabilize public sentiment.

“The war should end before the Prophet dies…”

“Don’t say such foolish things!”

“Don’t be like this. “Let’s go to church and pray to him.”

However, things were happening that were slightly different from what Daein intended.

***

Dimensional Allied Headquarters Demon Castle.

The leaders of the Allied Forces gathered together and a meeting was in full swing.

“Next is the matter of the dragon’s heart, scales, bones, claws, blood, tendons, etc.… its appendages. “I believe that the top priority should be investing in the production of the Allied Forces’ two ultimate weapons and a new Divine Suit… Do you have any other opinions?”

Joo Sang-wook looked around while asking a question.

There was no other opinion. Some people seemed to be wondering if I was greedy for dragon accessories, but eventually nodded.

‘Anyway, the conclusion is…’

Everyone looked at Daein.

Although it is a nominal meeting, the final decision is ultimately made by the leaders.

He is a prophet who sees the future and the actual leader of the Dimensional Allied Forces.

“I think that would be good.”

Daein nodded and asked Joo Sangwook again. Both of them had tired faces on their faces.

“How long until the 4th Hell Gate?”

“…According to the calculations of the Demon King’s supercomputer, there are 112 days left. The margin of error is +-2 days.”

Less than 4 months.

There was too little time to repair the damage suffered in the third Hell Gate and prepare for the next fight.

Moreover

, ‘the next Hell Gate will be large enough for even Baal and Agares to pass through.’

The overlords of the demon world who were protecting themselves, half voluntarily.

Baal. Agares. Vasago.

Those three will definitely move in the next Hell Gate as well.

All three invasions so far have failed, and nearly ten Demon Lords have already been killed or captured by the Allied Forces.

‘But the situation is not in our favor.’

The only people who were optimistic about the future of the war were the media and civilians.

“How much damage is there?”

The commanders of the corps in charge of each region responded. Their expressions were all dark.

“I am reporting on Region 1. The casualties were 53,217 and the amount of damage was….”

“We are reporting on Region 2. The number of casualties was 60,871, and the amount of damage was….”

“Casualties in Region 3….”

The total number of casualties resulting from the 3rd Hellgate incident was close to 1 million.

Even that was reduced thanks to the spread of potions and excellent priests.

“Casualties are a problem, but… destruction and pollution in the city are at a serious level.”

The cities where the third Hellgate occurred were at least half destroyed or completely destroyed.

All civilians were evacuated in advance, but the entire land was contaminated with the blood and corpses of the demonic beasts, so large-scale purification work and a long period of time were required to function as a city again.

“If the scale of the 4th Hellgate is more than 5 times that of the 3rd as predicted by the Vice President, the expected scale of damage is…” The faces of the

commanders turned pale at the terrible number of violence coming out of his mouth.

But Daein knew that even that was a hopeful observation.

‘Next is the last. Even those demon world bastards will put all their effort into it, no matter what means they use.’

There are 4 months left.

Before all the damage so far has been resolved, an army of demons nearly five times larger will invade Earth.

The great man quietly closed his eyes and spoke.

“Even if we miraculously win, the Earth that has become a battlefield will no longer be a land where people can live.”

“…….”

These were the words of no one else but the Prophet Landlord. There was an atmosphere throughout the conference room as if the war had already been lost.

“Is there no way at all?”

“If it’s the prophet’s ability…”

“I know you have to use your life again, but…”

Among the Allied leaders, except for a very small number of people, they knew that Daein had prophetic abilities.

Although they looked sorry, they hoped that Daein would use his abilities to find a way.

That was exactly what Daein wanted.

The great man spoke as if muttering with his eyes still closed.

People were naturally solemn at the sight of him using prophecy with a pale complexion.

“There is…a way.”

“!!”

The great man opened his eyes slowly and with difficulty and continued speaking.

“We are attacking the demon world.”
