Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Time to go back]

The inside of the monster tree is all blood red. It was.

A concentrated red fog filled the interior.

I asked Kiri, who was walking next to me.

“You can tell where it is?”

We were walking quickly inside the tree, looking for Kiri’s younger brother.

“It’s on the left here. “It’s not far away…”

Kiri got off my back and took the lead, acting as a navigator, as if the Low-Row race had telepathic communication.

I cut down those in my way, Kiri dispersed the thick fog, and I continued onward.

And after a while we arrived in front of a large cocoon.

Excited. Excited.

The cocoon clinging to the inner wall of the tree was about 3 meters long. It was the dark color of blood, like raw cow liver, and was beating like a living heart.

“This appears to be the main body.”

This giant monster tree was a type of giant armor created by a parasitic demon using his abilities after it inhabited Ciri’s body.

In fact, the main body existed separately in a safe place.

It’s my first time seeing this guy, but I was able to guess it because I’ve hunted several similar types of parasitic monsters in the past.

“Siri is in there!”

“Then we should take it out.”

I drew my sword and stood in front of the cocoon. However, he could not swing it right away and could only make a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Where should I cut?”

The size of the cocoon is about 3 meters. Assuming that Kiri’s younger brother was of similar height to his older brother, there was a 1 in 3 chance that he could have been severely cut.

“Can you tell me the exact location of my brother?”

“Not in that much detail…”

This kid seems useful, but he doesn’t have much.

In the end, I decided to rely on my wealth of experience and keen intuition.

“If you think about common sense, there is a high probability that the host was placed somewhere in the middle where it is safest. So, let’s cut off the head at the top of the cocoon.”

I thought it was a good decision, but for some reason, Kiri blocked my path with a yellow face.

“That’s all speculation! What if my brother’s head gets cut off?”

I pointed the Shalit at the cocoon and said with a serious face.

“Then you have to blame fate.”

“It’s not possible!”

I pushed aside the clinging Kiri and aimed my sword at the top of the cocoon.

Wooooow!

The sword river grew slightly above the shalit.

“Let’s cut it open and look inside. What are the odds of your brother getting his head cut off? Even if the rest is cut, you can just put it back together, right?”

Kiri shouted, clinging desperately to my right arm.

“How can you say such terrible things so casually!”

“I’ll cut it cleanly to make surgery easier.”

“I said no! Do not!”

“If your brother dies because of you shaking the sword, will you take responsibility?”

“Why is it because of me?!”

I swung my sword while hanging the aggrieved Kiri on my right arm.

Wow!

The sword that was swung with strong energy bounced back helplessly. The gap between my eyebrows slightly narrowed at that considerable rebound.

“…Look at this?”

I swung my sword one after another. The sword that lightly covered the sword had already grown to 1 meter in length.

Cough! Kaga-ga-gang!

Although slightly defeated, Kochi still withstood the attack. Even the dented part was quickly restored.

The medicine slowly rose.

“Let’s see if this can hold up.”

I took the basic form of Pacheonsingeom. An enormous amount of internal energy flowed through the bloodstream of the entire body and gathered at the tip of the sword.

Wooooow!

“You bastard. Cut it in half in one go…”

At that time, Kiri blocked my path, closed her eyes tightly and spread her arms wide.

“If you attack me with that, you will die!”

I quietly lowered my sword. I guess I was a little excited because I didn’t get cut very well.

“Hmm.”

I scratched my head and looked at the cocoon again. This time, I looked closely at the surrounding area.

Excited! Excited!

Behind the cocoon, blood vessel-like organs connected to the inner wall of the tree were wriggling and supplying nutrients to the cocoon.

“First of all, I need to get rid of everything that’s stuck around me. And…”

I nodded to Kiri, who was looking at me with earnest eyes, as if to reassure me.

“Let’s move it outside.”

When I thought about it, there was no need for me to go through the trouble of opening this myself.

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

When the main body was pulled out, the monster tree could no longer maintain its shape and collapsed to the ground. Incheon Station collapsed along with the trees.

With that background behind us, we prepared for the final hunt.

“Let’s begin.”

At my words, Abraxas chanted a spell.

Oooooh!

The magic circle drawn on the floor began to radiate magical power.

At the center of the magic circle was a blood-red cocoon taken from a monster tree.

Slurp.

The magic power flowing from the magic circle began to wrap around the cocoon.

Then the cocoon resisted by spewing out red mist as if it was trying to defend itself.

But that resistance was futile.

Because Abraxas’ magic did not harm the cocoon.

Quite the opposite.

After finishing chanting the spell, Abraxas came next to me and said.

“A growth-promoting spell for the enemy. “This is my first time seeing something like this.”

“Then it will crawl out on its own.”

It is difficult to pull out a larva that has defended itself tightly inside the cocoon.

However, when the cocoon grows beyond its capacity, it has no choice but to come out on its own.

Like right now.

Jjieeik-.

The belly of the cocoon was torn like a thin film, and something crawled out from within.

It was a monster that resembled a moth.

The two antennae had split ends like whips, and the large jaws that opened to the left and right had dozens of teeth close together. It had six pairs of legs, twelve in total.

The wet body looked unsightly, but when it stretched out from its crouch, it reached 4 meters. The two pairs of wings were wet and wrinkled.

Kiri’s most important younger brother was half-integrated into the guy’s back, leaving only his face and upper body exposed.

“Siri….”

Kiri, who found her younger brother, looked restless.

The moth turned its head towards us. The guy with his jaw open menacingly was wary of us and shook his head.

Abraxas observed the guy with a curious expression and added further explanation.

“I’m drying myself off. Those wings look like they have a pretty unique structure. What will it look like when it unfolds….”

“Are you crazy? “Wait until then.”

Huh! Huh! Huh!

I threw the net that had been spinning above my head since the magic circle was activated and shouted one, two, three.

“-three! Throw it!”

I, Wang Guho Sirutteok, cast nets simultaneously from three directions around the magic circle.

The net spread wide and covered the moths.

This special net made for capturing monsters could not be torn or cut with any force.

Kiyaaaaaaa! Kiyaaaaaaa!

The moth trapped in the net was struggling and screaming.

I fixed the net to the stake I had previously driven into the ground, drew my sword, and walked away.

“For moths or anything else, the moment they are born and right after they come out into the world is the weakest moment.”

I took advantage of that moment and was able to easily capture him.

All that’s left is to remove the host from it.

Kiyaaagh! Kiyaaagh!

The moth trapped in the net struggled and shook its body wildly. I told Wang Guho and Sirutteok to hold him down.

“Hold on tight. “I’m going to have surgery from now on.”

The two large figures on top of the moth pressed down with all their might. As Wang Guho [petrified] and pressed down with his body, the moth’s movements gradually subsided.

“Then let’s begin.”

Ssssssut.

I applied a thin layer of gum to the shalit and removed the green species that was attached to the moth’s back like a body.

Suddenly. Suddenly.

The surrounding area was cut into large chunks. The small parts could be removed later, but rescue was the priority.

The net was cut along with it, but it didn’t matter because the two bodies were already holding it down.

After a while, I was able to completely separate the broccoli brother from the moth.

“Hey Siri!”

Kiri ran over and hugged his fainted younger brother tightly. It was the moment when the brothers were finally reunited.

“Thank you! thank you so much!”

Kiri repeatedly bowed her head to me. I nodded half-heartedly.

“Take him to the car and give him first aid. “Don’t forget the promise you made to me.”

“yes!”

Kiri took his younger brother and returned to the car. At the scene, only I, Wang Guho, Sirutdeok, and Abraxas were snooping next to me.

The little boy was sleeping comfortably in the car, probably because he was tired.

Wow! Kiyaaagh!

Abraxas said, looking at the moth writhing in pain.

“You’re not going to kill me?”

I said as I poured a generous amount of potion into the wound on the moth’s back.

“I will take you alive. “It’s more helpful for research.”

A creature that Kiri calls a ‘parasite demon’.

I don’t know what dimension they came from, but there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t come to Earth again in the future.

A lot has already changed from the future I knew.

To prepare for that time, it would have been a good idea to take at least one live sample.

I gave instructions to the two big guys.

“Wangguho. Give this guy a sleeping pill. Adjust the amount while checking the effect, and when he falls asleep, tie him with a chain.”

“Yes, team leader!”

“For Sirutdeok, look around to see if there is a decent truck nearby. “I have more than one or two things to take with me when I go.”

“yes! older brother!”

The two large men dispersed to carry out their respective missions. I also got up from my seat.

A light sigh escaped.

“…How did you even get past the second time?”

This also ended the second disaster.

Of course, in the future, no one will write about this incident as a ‘disaster.’

So little damage. And there was a lot for me to gain.

Part of the Ancient Serpent.

Part of the Tentacle.

Sample of Parasitic Demon.

Two [loans] and

3,000 tenants who will create a new city.

This is a pretty great achievement. A smile naturally formed on my lips.

“When I go back, I’ll have to change the nameplate first.”

It was then that something burst out from the remains of the collapsed monster tree.

Whick!

It soared into the sky in an instant and had an almost identical shape to the moth monster we had caught.

It glanced at us, then turned around and started flying toward the other side of the sky.

I looked back and forth between him and the moth we had caught. Then, the situation was immediately understood.

…That side is real.

Or maybe there were two from the beginning, or maybe one differentiated into two.

“manager!”

“that!”

The group who found him shouted.

Clap, rattle!

I exchanged Tichtal’s watch for a hand cannon. A white ray of light crossed the sky and followed the moth’s tail.

At that moment, the moth twisted its body to the side and avoided the beam of light.

I shot a few more times, but it was the same.

“I knew I’d miss it!”

I started running. I couldn’t just come and leave with the ending feeling awkward.

It flew zigzag as if teasing me, and the height wasn’t even high enough to hit it by throwing something.

But I didn’t give up. Because there was still one more way left.

I stood still in place.

“Whoa…”

I slowly took a deep breath. I raised my sword, aimed it at the sky, focused all my mind on the sword, and increased my strength.

‘Second herbivory.’

We got a little hint earlier when Kiri was fighting the demon he was controlling inside the Rock of Sisyphus.

A skill I have practiced consistently since then.

“I didn’t think I would actually use it…”

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Shalit, which had escaped my hand, began to rise little by little into the air.

-Pacheon Sword Technique 2nd Type-

Three sword techniques created by the Geomwang with mad obsession just to defeat the Heavenly Demon.

Among them, this sword was a sword technique.

Awesome!

The sword, which was fired like a bullet, or faster than a bullet, chased the moth that had become smaller than a dot.

And after a while, the dot exploded in the air.

Paaaaat!

Because it was so far away, the light seemed like a twinkle, but the result was clear.

dump.

I sat down on the floor. The energy that had always filled my dantian drained away like an ebb, and I felt extremely tired, to the point where I wanted to pass out immediately.

“Haa…”

My hands were shaking as if I was suffering from a tremor.

At the same time, a thrill of pleasure ran down my spine.

“Ha, I kept failing during practice…”

“Team leader!”

Lately, I saw a group of people running after me.

I waved at them. My hands kept shaking. I couldn’t help but laugh.

And I also developed a desire for a third herbivore that was not written down in Geomwangbirok.

“…I guess I should go to the martial arts forest at least once.”

I muttered to myself and got up.

Now it was really time to go home.
