Absolute Regression Chapter 114

Episode 114: Tried to attract a villain.

I arrived at their home, not far from the Apostolic Mission headquarters, with Visain.

The evil Soma and the Thirteen Apostles were waiting there.

Ilrang was as happy as if a dead person had returned.

“Your Majesty! Are you safe?”

“I’m sorry I went without telling you in advance.”

“I was worried. You mustn’t do this again.”

“Okay.”

The other thirteen apostles were also delighted. When they saw him being welcomed, Bisain’s heart seemed to soften.

“The Demon Lord has guaranteed your safety, but… … .”

I thought about how the evil Soma must have worried that it would be more dangerous if it guaranteed safety, and I couldn’t help but snicker.

While Visain and the Thirteen Wives were reuniting, the evil Soma called me into a separate room.

Two eyes behind the white mask examined me thoroughly.

“The non-signer probably doesn’t even know what he was taken from. What did he gain?”

“I was just trying to win that guy over.”

“That’s not possible. Even with Nana and the Thirteen Wives, that would have been possible.”

Because we’ve been hanging out together all this time, the evil soma knows me very well.

“Now that I think about it, your eyes seem to have gotten deeper. Have you made any progress in your studies?”

“There was very little.”

In fact, achieving the Twelve Great Stars of the Bicheon Sword Technique was a great achievement, but I only told half the truth. I thought I couldn’t completely fool the evil Soma, and I didn’t want to completely fool him either.

“If my engineering skills have improved any further, I will lose if I try now.”

“I don’t know about other Mazones, but I can’t beat Soma-sama.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s an extremely evil demon.”

Knowing that these were words of self-praise, the evil Soma laughed.

That afternoon, Visain came to see me.

He had a plan and it was very dangerous.

“You plan to use me as bait.”

He risked his life on this.

“I will leak information that I have evidence. I have evidence that will reveal that Seok Gwan-chu is behind all the things that have happened. If I tell him that I will report this to the leader right away, Seok Gwan-chu will definitely come and kill us.”

Heuksalju died, went to Baekyagok, and even Yukrang died. It was a situation where there could be evidence on this side.

“We need to kill them as soon as possible, but we can’t just rush to get an outside expert. They’ll either come in person, or a expert with deep ties to the stone coffin will come.”

“Do you know how dangerous this plan is?”

“I know. He will definitely send someone to kill me. He may even come himself.”

“But why did you come up with such a dangerous plan?”

“Because there’s one thing they’re missing.”

“What is it?”

“It’s you, Lee Gongja. I would never have thought that Lee Gongja and the evil Soma would help me.”

He asked me.

“Will you help me?”

“I will help you.”

Visain was rather embarrassed by the unhesitating answer.

“Why don’t you offer a price? This time, I have no choice but to accept any conditions. Even if you ask me to give you everything I have, I have no choice but to give it to you.”

“I want to shake your hand properly later.”

The eyes of the Visanian wavered. Originally, it was the case that help was deeply felt in times of difficulty. If I could win the heart of the Visanian this time, it would be a greater power than any elixir or treasure.

After breaking up with him, I met the evil Soma and told him about this plan.

“Students with engineering degrees, please leave.”

“Are you serious?”

“yes.”

“Are you worried about me?”

“No, it’s because I’m worried about you. I came out with Lee Gongja, but if Lee Gongja dies in front of the Sado Alliance, what will become of me? Then I won’t have the face to face the leader.”

Actually, I was worried about the same thing. My father had ordered me not to kill any more Mazones, but what would become of me if the evil Soma were to die?

“Please take a look at the situation and then decide.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“This fight is not our fight. There is no need to jump into it so riskily.”

At my words, the eyes of the evil Soma shone brightly. The stronger the opponent, the more fiery he became.

When I returned to my room, I wrapped the Supreme Heavenly Silk around the sword handle and wrapped it around my heart, neck, stomach, and important parts of my arms and legs. Over that, I put on the Guihoi that Hyeolcheon Doma had given me.

And then, quietly, they ate breakfast and prepared for the fight to come.

Late at night, I opened my eyes.

The Cheonmahoshinkong woke me up. It was the first time it woke me up so violently and strongly. I could tell.

‘He is a strong opponent.’

It was expected that a strong opponent would come, but this was the first time that a master would react so strongly to the Cheonmahoshin Gong.

Even the evil Soma, who was sleeping in the same room, opened his eyes wide.

“Did you feel it?”

“yes.”

“Let’s go out.”

I wore a mask just like the evil Soma.

We headed towards where the energy was flowing out. It was the building where Visain was staying.

Crunch! Crunch!

The unmanned personnel burst out, breaking through the windows and walls. They were Bisain and the Sado 13rang. Their expressions of confusion were clearly visible.

And then, an old man appeared, walking leisurely.

He was dressed in pure white and had a white beard that reached down to his chest, like a god. His face and hands were wrinkled with the depth of time, but his eyes were as scary as a wild beast.

The old man was dragging a man. He was already a corpse, and blood was seeping out where he was being dragged.

Whoosh.

When the old man threw the body, it flew into the middle of the yard and rolled around. The dead man was Samrang.

The expressions of the Thirteen Apostles hardened at the death of their comrade. Their eyes were filled with the intent of revenge, but none of them cursed or acted rashly.

It was certain that he was impressed by the swordsmanship the old man had shown when he killed Samrang.

“Who are you?”

Ilrang suppressed his anger and asked the old man.

He was not Seok Gwan-chu. He was older than the previous master Seok Gwan-chu and had a much more intense presence.

“Who are you?”

The old man’s voice cut through the night air. It was soft and calm, but it was a voice that conveyed deep inner strength.

“I am the one who leads the Thirteen Apostles.”

“Come closer and look.”

Of course, Ilrang didn’t approach.

“How can a coward lead the Thirteen Wings of the Apostles?”

Illang’s impression hardened, but he did not fall for the old man’s provocation.

Instead, he spoke softly to the visa holder.

“We’ll take care of this, so get out.”

The plan to lure them in and capture them was immediately dashed by the appearance of the old man.

Visain had no intention of escaping, but even if he had tried, it would not have been easy. Another master had appeared on the opposite wall.

He was the mastermind behind this incident, Seok Gwan-chu. He too was showing the appearance of a former master.

The fact that he has revealed himself means that he will kill everyone with his murderous intent.

Seok Gwan-chu said, looking up at the night sky while holding the backpack on his back.

“I like the moonlight, so I went out for a walk with my master.”

The moment they discovered the old man’s true identity, everyone was shocked.

The master of the stone coffin.

Sword Emperor Baek Mang-gi.

He was a master of quick swordsmanship and a former master of the previous generation, and was already well over one hundred and thirty years old.

He had not been seen in the martial arts world for decades, but he showed up. He tried to attract a villain, but instead a monster was dragged out.

“Look here, Confucius.”

The stone coffin was calm and composed.

“There is only one way for you to live.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t you know what I want?”

“Is this a testimony to be presented to the leader? I guess even our Seok Elder is afraid of the leader.”

“When I speak nicely, give it to you.”

“I’m not stupid. Would I have that? If you kill me, the evidence will go to the leader immediately. Then, Elder Seok will have to bear the guilt of killing me.”

At that very moment, Baek Mang-gi, the master of Seok Gwan-chu, flew up. Slowly, he walked through the air and landed gently in front of Bi Sa-in. It was as if a kidney had descended from the sky.

Tata tata dang!

All the black bullets that were trying to protect the visa were bounced off.

Baek Mang-gi’s sword was back in its scabbard. He had already pulled it out, struck down the sword of the Sado 13th Ranger, and taken it back.

The Sado 13th Ranger was impressed by his quick swordsmanship.

Baek Mang-gi quietly looked into Bisain’s eyes.

“Your eyes don’t know how to lie.”

Baek Mang-gi looked at the stone coffin and said.

“There is no evidence.”

“I knew it.”

Seok Gwan-chu calmly scolded Bi-sa-in as if he believed whatever the master said.

“What on earth made you do such a thing? Did I really look like a fool who would risk his life by falling into a trap you had set?”

Visain didn’t say anything. The moment Baek Mang-gi arrived, all plans were ruined.

Although the Sado 13 Rangs could fight against Seokgwanchu together, Baek Manggi was a being far beyond their abilities.

At that moment, Baek Mang-gi turned his head and looked this way.

“I guess you believe in those ghost tricks over there.”

Of course, Baek Mang-gi and Seokgwan-chu were aware of our existence from the beginning. Seokgwan-chu knew exactly about us.

“This is the evil Soma, one of the Palmazones.”

“I’ve heard that there are some thugs in the Demonic Cult who wear masks and act mysterious. But why are you standing there like that, even though you know it’s me? Do you think I’m afraid of the Heavenly Demon and won’t kill you?”

“It seems so.”

Then the evil Soma spoke to me.

“It’s not too late.”

“Shall I throw it away?”

“Do as you wish, sir.”

At that moment, my eyes met with Visan’s. Instead of fear, there was a sense of resoluteness in Visan’s expression. It was a feeling that it was okay for me to leave, that I wouldn’t hold a grudge.

“I don’t want that expression to be the last thing I remember. This damn loyalty, pride, and promise. Ah! This is why the average life expectancy of martial artists is dropping so quickly.”

“I knew it.”

The evil Soma laughed. Even when he dies, he fights like a madman and dies. That’s what an evil Soma is.

That’s not why we decided to fight. It’s because we knew they wouldn’t let us go. There was no way they would let such a big secret out.

“Hey, old man. Your opponent is over here.”

Baek Mang-gi laughed at the words of the evil soma. Seok Gwan-chu also laughed.

“Did you think I would care about Cheonma?”

The moment Baek Mang-gi finished speaking, he rushed towards us. He was really fast. The moment we realized that he was coming, the sword was pulled out right in front of our noses.

Shhh! Shhh!

Peet! Pot!

In an instant, the situation was over.

Baek Mang-gi took a step back from us and looked at me with a surprised face.

“you?”

His long beard was cut and was fluttering among us.

Baek Mang-gi tried to cut off the evil Soma first, and I cut Baek Mang-gi. He was fast, but I was also fast. Baek Mang-gi almost had his neck cut off by my sword.

The composure disappeared from Baek Mang-gi’s face. He had never experienced such a dangerous moment in decades. It was the first time his heart had sank like this.

Not only Baek Mang-gi, but also Seok Gwan-chu, Bi Sa-in, and the Sado 13 Rang all looked at me with surprised faces.

It was just then.

Sizzle.

The mask of the evil Soma split in half from the forehead to the chin as he swung his sword earlier, causing it to fall down.

Even the evil Soma was unable to completely avoid Baekmanggi’s attacks.

As the mask slipped down, the evil Soma panicked. If he had to choose between dying and taking off the mask, he would choose death.

At that very moment, his face was about to be revealed.

Okay.

A new mask covered his face.

I took off the mask I was wearing and covered his face.

For a moment, our eyes met. Instead of the shame that would have been worse than death, his eyes were filled with passion for me.

“Take off your mask only when Soma-sama wishes.”

I turned towards Baek Mang-gi, leaving behind the emotions of the extremely evil Soma that were welling up in me.

I didn’t know. The fact that the evil Soma almost died would make me this angry. I really didn’t know.
