Absolute Regression Chapter 16

You’ve already heard the answer to episode 16.

In the afternoon, Seo Dae-ryong brought over a dozen Hwangcheongak investigators.

As it seed like a full-scale investigation was about to begin, the Demon Army began to beco agitated. A rumor spread that all the demonic forces, led by Jangho, were to be thoroughly raided.

And that evening, an accident occurred.

While I was resting in my room, an investigator from Hwangcheongak ca running to .

“There was a big problem. “I think you should go quickly.”

When I got there, I saw that the hallway in front of the interrogation room was a ss. A fight broke out between the demon army and the investigators.

“Stop moving!”

I went through the standoff between the demon army and the investigators and stopped the fight.

One of the investigators was lying bleeding. It wasn’t just about being beaten up. Blood flowed from his torn face and even his ribs were broken.

Seo Dae-ryong was angry and ca forward, but he was unable to withstand the demonic forces and was beaten as well.

“Are you hurt a lot?”

“I’m fine, but my colleague was seriously injured.”

“Hurry and take to the dressing room.”

Other investigators took him out after he collapsed.

The leader of this incident, Lord Godang, was shalessly there.

“You did this?”

“exactly.”

The demons standing around were all demons from the demon army. Perhaps that was why Godang was not at all intimidated. Rather, he was enjoying this situation, and the subordinates around him also looked like they were about to giggle at any mont.

“For so reason, it feels like a prophecy will co true.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who knew what the prophecy was, swallowed his saliva.

“What kind of prophecy is this all of a sudden?”

In response to Godang’s question, Seo Dae-ryong looked at his head and answered on his behalf.

“Go Great Lord, this is probably a prophecy you never want to know about.”

“Then, Confucius, I will also make a prophecy for you. “Our Confucius, after being pushed out of the competition for successor, will be kicked out of his school and will have to live off the backs of the Murim Alliance faction.”

The demon soldiers in the area who were listening laughed and laughed.

Instead of getting angry, I was happy.

“Oh, what a wonderful prophecy!”

“Is it cool?”

“You survived even though you were pushed out in the battle for succession, right? Besides, you can live your whole life without working! Isn’t the dream of eating without action a dream for all of us? Thank you so much for the prophecy! “I will live Jay’s life there.”

Conversely, Godang, who was ridiculed, hardened his impression.

“Why did you hurt the Hwangcheongak warrior?”

“I bumped into my shoulder in the hallway. “I just looked after you because you left without an apology.”

“You must have hit your shoulder. Even if he apologized, I wouldn’t have let it go.”

Godang was smiling without denying it. The demons around them also laughed together.

“It’s poison.”

Godang asked curiously what I said.

“Poison?”

“Your minions are poison to you.”

“What nonsense?”

As long as his subordinates are watching, he will not back down due to his pride and will ultimately lead to the destruction I planned.

“Didn’t you, Godang, kill a warrior from our school like this last year? “The year before last, a fight broke out in a bar and three people were killed.”

The opponents were all low-level warriors, and the demon army covered it up before it beca an incident.

“Because there are assholes all over the world who have no respect for their seniors.”

The look in his eyes that said, ‘A guy like you’ flew towards .

“Do you know that? “I brought you sothing when I ca down.”

“What is that?”

“Right to summary disposition.”

At the ntion of the right to summary disposition, the surroundings suddenly beca quiet.

But Godang instead just snorted.

“What would you do if you had the power? “You don’t have the ability to dispose of it?”

At those words, the subordinates burst into laughter again.

This is the poison I spoke of. This is what happens when a foolish person becos conscious of the gaze of those around him.

Normally, he would be very nervous, but he is showing off in front of his subordinates. I’m the only one who doesn’t know what kind of stage I’m standing on.

As I took a step closer, all the demons around the temple rushed forward.

“To ss with us is to ss with the entire demon army. “I don’t know if this Confucius really has that kind of courage.”

“At least I don’t hide behind subordinates.”

He raised his bandaged right hand.

“I was injured by so cowardly person.”

At that ti, I raised my right hand and said.

“I won’t use my right hand either.”

“!”

Godang was shocked, as if he had not expected it to co out like this.

However, he was under the illusion that he was the main character on this stage.

“And if you get hurt, are you going to go to the religious leader and tell him?”

His subordinates burst into laughter. Every ti they laughed, the stage beca hotter.

“I will not hold you responsible even if you get hurt or even die.”

“You made an oath?”

I struck my sword twice and swore.

Only then did he accept my challenge.

“Okay. “Let’s stick sowhere.”

Godang drew his sword and held it in his left hand. The reason he stepped forward with confidence was because his left hand could handle the sword as skillfully as his right hand. On the other hand, I was right-handed.

I walked forward slowly, putting my right hand behind my waist as if I was holding back.

“What if I use that hand because it’s urgent?”

Godang seed afraid that I would use my right hand.

“Tell your subordinates to join forces and kill .”

“joy! You are confident. I heard that you recently held a fun party with the immature mbers of the Namdo Order. “I guess I gained confidence from there.”

“Actually, your acting is more fun.”

“Shut up!”

Godang rushed in with his sword.

I thought this match was also part of my training. What is important in training is, of course, practical training. Real-life combat with the Demon Lord is an experience that money cannot buy.

There was no moderation in Godang. He did everything in his power to hurt sohow.

Every ti the sword missed, sighs that it was a waste of money were heard everywhere.

Although it may have seed scary to them, as if I was about to be stabbed by a sword at any mont, my heart was as calm as a lake.

After fighting him, I know for sure. My current state is that I can easily deal with Godang with my left hand.

Everyone’s interest in the outco of this fight will be ‘How soon?’

The number I decided on was forty. When this fight is over, rumors will spread like this.

This Confucius killed the first lord of the Demon Army in 400 days.

Since he defeated Yang Po, a disciple of Hyeolcheon Doma, in 200,000,000, if he beat Godang in 400,000,000, it would be considered fairly balanced.

When I reached the fortieth move, I changed my walking thod and delved into the guy.

The mont I grabbed the wrist holding the sword, Godang roughly shook off and tried to retreat. But if that were possible, my arm wouldn’t have been grabbed in the first place.

Let’s turn my body around while holding my arms.

Deuddeuddeuk!

Godang’s arm was twisted like a clothesline, and bones protruded from his wrist.

“Aaaahhh!”

The fist flew into the screaming man’s face again.

Godang fell to the floor with a heavy hitting sound.

I jumped on the fallen guy’s body and slamd my fist into him. If he had used internal energy, he would have died instantly, but he was shocked without using internal energy.

puck! Pow! puck!

One of the demons in the area who was watching rushed forward.

I swung my sword while sitting on Godang’s boat.

The lower abdon of the one that was running split and fell forward.

Since they didn’t know that I would cut him down with a single sword, not only the Demon Army but also Seo Dae-ryong and the Hwangcheongak investigators were greatly surprised.

“crazy!”

“Kill!”

Two of Godang’s limbs rushed forward, drawing their swords.

The attack they made in an ergency situation beca their last move in life.

I jumped up and swung my sword in succession. Their swords grazed my body, but mine landed exactly where they were aid.

Sigh! Phew!

The two who had their necks pierced fell down with blood spewing out in all directions.

The place quickly beca a sea of blood. When their three companions beca corpses, the demon soldiers hesitated as to whether they should rush in or not.

I shouted loudly.

“The cri of those who just died is treason.”

They froze at the word treason.

After pinning them down, I walked over to Godang, who had collapsed.

“The sa goes for your great lord. “It is a clear cri of treason because you beat and seriously injured a person who ca under the orders of the religious leader.”

He looked down at him and said coldly.

“Do you know what happened to the families of the people you killed in a fight at a bar last year? Don’t you know? You probably didn’t even care. Losing a father, losing a child, losing a husband. Are those people living properly? What are you doing, hitting people? “What are you doing, killing our believers?”

“…Please save .”

Although his face was covered in blood, he was full of the desire to live.

“why ?”

“…I will repent.”

Blood flowed out of the guy’s mouth.

“lie. “It’s going to be like that in the future, right?”

“no. Absolutely not.”

“You said it? “I will continue to do so.”

“… When did I?”

“Your past life has told everything.”

I raised my foot and struck Godang’s head at a sharp angle.

Shoo!

Kkwajik.

The guy’s head exploded like a waterlon and he died instantly.

For a mont, silence fell there. No one would have imagined that the demon lord would kill his favorite godang by breaking his head.

After killing Godang, I shouted to the demons in the area.

“Treason is a summary punishnt. Do you want to get married? “Still hold your sword up.”

Then the demons in the area all put down their swords. Daeju is already dead, and if he steps forward for no reason, his head will be blown off. They were overwheld by my martial arts ability to cut them down with a single sword.

“The entire Demon Army will withdraw and remain under guard until there is a special order! “If you leave your room after this ti, you will be punished for treason, so please understand!”

When I motioned for them all to go out, they didn’t dare refuse and they all went out.

The Hwangcheongak investigators who were watching were looking at with surprised faces. The emotions mixed with that surprise were clearly joy and excitent.

Seo Dae-ryong told .

“You are much stronger than I thought.”

“What did you think?”

“Well… I didn’t know we could win the entire Demon Army.”

“We had a prophecy.”

It was ant to make him laugh, but Seo Dae-ryong didn’t laugh. He looked around at the corpses lying around with a nervous face.

“No matter how much you are Confucius… is it okay for to do this?”

I spoke firmly to the scared man.

“Don’t make a fuss over only three or four people being killed. “I ca prepared to cut down half of the demon army.”

“!”

It was a mont to see how small Seo Dae-ryong usually opens his eyes.

That evening, the demon lord ca to see .

He was waiting at the base of Magachon, not in his office.

There were about a dozen kiru in Magachon, and although no one decided, the place to go to was naturally determined according to position. The Giru that the Demon Lord was waiting for was a top-class Giru.

“I called you here to have a drink with you after a long ti.”

He treated as if nothing had happened. In fact, it was more subtle and soft than usual.

“Have you ever been here?”

“This is my first ti.”

“I like it here.”

Indeed, the food and alcohol served were of the highest quality, and the courtesans were also very beautiful. The musicians’ playing skills were also excellent.

“It looks expensive.”

“It’s the most expensive place in Magachon. “I prepared sothing special for you today.”

He was a person who was proud of such luxury and entertainnt.

“I have to enjoy life to the fullest, not knowing when I will die. “Isn’t that right?”

“You are correct.”

“Let’s drink now.”

I drank with him. The demon lord ca here so often that he felt like it was his ho. While drinking, he sang a song and even got up and danced with a courtesan. Even though he called about Godang’s death, he didn’t ntion it at all.

In my past life, I was far from entertainnt, so I only entertained people in moderation.

After having a lot of fun and getting too drunk, the demon lord finally bitten the courtesans.

“There was a small accident with our kids?”

The words ‘small accident’ reflected his will to deal with this incident.

“yes. “There was an unexpected collision.”

It was an incident where the leader of the Demon Army died. It was an incident that would turn the school upside down, but the demon lord tried to use this as an opportunity to turn things around.

“How about we sum it up by saying that good things are good things? “I had no choice but to write it, but that person was a friend with a lot of scum in many ways.”

It ant blaming everything on the dead master and ending it.

‘Hey, you’re such a great piece of trash.’

Even so, he was just a confidant. Let alone revenge, they are trying to make you a criminal. This is why only the dead are pitiful.

“No matter how much it is for the investigation of the case, wouldn’t it be a big problem if the fact that you killed the Demon Lord was also raised?”

“I’m sorry about that.”

“How is it? What does this conclude? “Isn’t one lord and three subordinates enough?”

“Thank you for your consideration. “I want to handle it well, but there is one problem.”

“What problem?”

“There is no evidence. “There has been an official investigation, but shouldn’t there be evidence to report it to the higher-ups?”

“You just need to bring the right amount of evidence and attach it.”

“That’s troubleso. The letter that ca in this ti stated that an external contract had been received privately from the area. “This is not an issue that can be brushed aside.”

He said he had heard this from Jang-ho, but it was written in a letter.

The demon lord tried hard to hide his surprise because he didn’t know that I knew that fact.

“We really need evidence to close this case.”

He was not asked to provide evidence. But he would have understood it this way.

-This matter will end only when you provide evidence.

After a short chat, the demon lord brought the courtesans in again to drink and play.

The demon lord tried to have more fun than before, but I could feel his worries throughout the drinking session. His dancing wasn’t as agile as before.
