Absolute Regression Chapter 547

547
Jin Ha-ryeong and Yeojeong were hiding in the secret room of Cheonhwaru.

When the full-scale fighting began, the two took advantage of the confusion and managed to hide in the secret room of Cheonhwaru.

There was a sound of fighting from above. Things were breaking, shattering, and being smashed.

Although he was very curious and worried about the situation outside, Jin Ha-ryeong remained hidden and did not move.

If it were her old self, she wouldn’t have chosen to hide like this. She would have thought about fighting to help her brother and protect his journey.

Because honor was more important than anything else. Also, he would have been afraid of seeing his brother’s body when he opened that door later. He would not have been able to endure the fear of surviving alone.

But the current Jin Ha-ryeong is different from back then. Promises are more important than honor, and the people he has to keep are important. His trust in his brother has also grown incomparably.

All these changes were largely influenced by the relationship with Geommu Theater.

Even the leader of the Demonic Cult thinks and acts like that, so what can I say?

One can only imagine how Geommugeuk would react if he heard that she was hiding here.

– You did a great job. You made the wisest choice!

But I guess they’ll tease you.

-Ah, I should have said I would protect Lady Rouge! Do you know how many times I almost died?

When I recalled that reaction, a smile came to my lips without me realizing it.

‘Anyway, you make me look like a crazy bitch who’s laughing in this situation.’

Then Yeojeong spoke to her from behind.

“Miss Jin.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

When Jin Ha-ryeong looked back, Yeo-jeong’s expression was extremely calm. It was to the point where he thought that maybe she was protecting him.

“If the moment ever comes when you have to choose, don’t give up on me without hesitation.”

Jin Ha-ryeong could tell that Yeo-jeong was speaking sincerely.

“Yes, I will.”

Was it because I answered too easily? It was obvious from Yeojeong’s expression that she didn’t believe what I said. So I told her.

“I made a promise to that person. I will definitely protect you, Lady Rouge.”

The journey said with a smile.

“The person who made the promise will understand Lady Jin even if he survives alone. He will probably comfort Lady Jin more warmly than anyone else.”

Jin Ha-ryeong thought to himself.

‘No, he’ll spit out resentment at me. He’ll swear at me, saying that I died because of you. He’ll make me lose my temper. He’ll make me feel something other than guilt. He’ll think that he’s doing me a favor by doing that.’

Now I know that that person is a swordsman. That’s why. That’s why I have to keep the journey.

Jin Ha-ryeong changed the subject.

“I wonder if my brother is fighting well.”

I lived my life thinking that if someone had to die, it should be me and not my brother. That’s because my brother was such an important person in the Jeongpa martial arts world.

“Don’t you know? Our brother is such an honest and old-fashioned person. That’s why it’s surprising that he became close with the young sect leader.”

“Then you don’t have to worry.”

“yes?”

The journey smiled and said to her.

“Originally, honest people are strong in times of crisis.”

* * *

It was a complex maze. The walls were made of thick steel and the paths were complicated.

Blood Road Battle.

A death trap from which you can never escape once you fall.

The person leading the Jin Ha Army and the Myulma Unit soldiers in that desperate battle was Myulma Unit soldier Jeong Gyeong.

“This way.”

The warriors of the Demon King’s Army were naturally strong in martial arts, and each had their own special skills. Some knew poison, some specialized in witchcraft, and some specialized in chasing techniques.

Jeonggyeong’s specialty was destroying formations.

Due to the nature of the Demon Slayer Corps, they often encounter enemies who use formations or tactics. In preparation for such times, we trained together to destroy formations and also studied them.

But Jeong-gyeong, who was walking in front, was nervous.

I read and reread books on formations. I studied hard enough to memorize everything, but Hyulromirojin was a really dangerous formation.

Blood Lomi Rojin is not a method that simply gets you lost.

Every time I took the wrong path and chose the path of death instead of the path of life, I had to pay a terrible price.

Moreover, no matter how much you study and research, the formations are constantly evolving and changing. The destroyers cannot keep up with the pace of change.

So today, here too, we had to make many applications and new choices, as well as precise calculations.

Thinking that everyone’s lives were in his hands, Jeonggyeong felt both scared and excited.

“This is the door.”

When I opened the door and entered, I was in a room filled with longing on all sides. There were dozens of small mirrors all over the place, making it dizzying.

As they all came inside.

Slurp.

The device on the front platform was activated.

Sand began to fall to one side of the tilted scale. Then it slowly began to fall downward.

Jeonggyeong shouted at the sight.

“I have to find the living thing before that scale hits the bottom! It’s one of the longings.”

The time given was not much. How could he figure out which of the many mirrors was a living thing in this short time? Jeong-gyeong was also confused because this was his first time using this method.

The demon slayers ran over and touched the mirror to see if there was anything different.

Meanwhile, the scale continued to fall lower and lower.

Just before the scale hits the floor.

Jin Ha-gun flew and pushed a mirror with all his might.

“think!”

The moment he looks in the mirror!

Everyone was tense, preparing for what was to come. No one knew whether poisonous smoke or dark energy would pour out.

Just then the sand that was falling stopped and the scale began to rise back to its original level.

The mirror that Jin Ha-gun chose was a living mirror.

The door in the wall opened with a creaking sound.

Everyone sighed in relief and sighed in relief.

“How did you know that it was Tokyo?”

To Jeong-gyeong’s question, Jin-ha gave an unexpected answer.

“I just took a picture.”

“yes?”

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

At that time, Gwanghyo of the Demon Slayer Corps smiled and said.

“That’s better. Isn’t luck what we need most right now?”

In fact, Jin Ha-gun’s words were half right and half wrong. At the last moment, Jin Ha-gun discovered that his own shadow was not reflected in the mirror.

It’s not like I just took a picture because I chose it in the moment without checking all the other mirrors, but that instinctive choice was right.

After leaving the mirror room, they continued to search for their way.

As he gradually made his way through the maze, Jeong-gyeong ended up accidentally choosing the four gates. He had made his choice after accurately guessing and calculating, but there was a trap in the process.

Clank!

The floor was slanted like a slope.

Kururururung.

I heard something rolling from somewhere up there, out of sight.

“Avoid!”

At Jeonggyeong’s shout, everyone tried to fly in the opposite direction.

At that moment, Jin Ha-gun flew towards the direction where something was rolling towards him.

“Stop it before it gains any more speed!”

This was the method of destroying this trap that he had thought of at that moment.

The demon slayers also followed him.

Gurrrrrr!

What was rolling was a giant iron ball.

Jin Ha-gun’s choice was right. If he had just left it alone, it would have overtaken them at an uncontrollable speed. But now.

Kwaaak!

Jin Ha-gun blocked the iron ball with his back and raised his internal energy. The demon warriors who followed behind joined in.

Kurururururung.

As those attached to it gathered all their strength and raised their internal energy, the speed of the giant iron ball gradually slowed down and stopped.

Then the tilted floor returned to its original position.

“Hoo!”

Jin Ha-gun breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you okay?”

Jin Ha-gun nodded to his subordinates’ questions.

“I’m fine.”

“If it weren’t for the Lord’s choice, I would have been in big trouble.”

This trap may not have killed everyone, but it could have injured or killed several people.

It’s really not easy to think about running in the opposite direction at that moment.

That was why the underlings of the Extermination Corps looked at Jin Ha-gun with new eyes. He was strong in both negotiation and martial arts, but they had never had the chance to see him display such improvisation and wisdom.

Jin Ha-gun showed a strong appearance in times of crisis. When he made up his mind to save everyone and get out, this sense of responsibility was showing amazing concentration.

Jeonggyeong came and bowed her head with an embarrassed face.

“I made a mistake, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.”

It wasn’t just a passing remark. If it weren’t for him, I would have been in this crisis several times.

“It’ll get harder and harder to find the original text as time goes on. It’s okay if you make a mistake. Aren’t there a lot of saboteurs behind you?”

When Jeonggyeong looked back, his colleagues were looking at him. They were saying that even if they made mistakes, they should all overcome them together.

Jin Ha-gun said to everyone.

“We have to break through and tell the guy who created this who we are.”

“yes!”

The demon troopers answered loudly.

They began to walk again towards their next life-or-death choice.

* * *

The king closed his eyes in the sudden pouring sunlight.

It wasn’t just sunlight. It was hot sunlight that seemed like it would dry out the whole world.

I squinted my eyes and shielded the sun with my hand. My palm felt hot.

The king was bewildered by the unexpected situation.

The place where he was standing was a dry, cracked ground.

And what was floating in the sky was really the sun. A hot midday sun without a single cloud.

“What is this?”

In front of me stood the Black Sword and the Evil Sword.

The moment when the sound of the evil Soma flicking his sword echoed as the two walked towards him!

Suddenly the surroundings changed like this.

Unlike him who was bewildered, the dark king knew what kind of situation this was.

“It’s a time-transfer technique.”

The Dark King recognized the space-time teleportation technique at a glance. Surprise flashed through her eyes, which overlapped with the King’s.

“This is the secret art of the Fengchun sect leader. It’s amazing. That greedy old man would teach this to the younger sect leader.”

This was what the Dark King was curious about.

“If you knew how to use space-time teleportation, why didn’t you do it from the beginning?”

That was the only reason.

“Because my friends were fighting there together.”

I thought that if I just brought in the King of Tu, the King of Darkness could kill Bisain or Jin Hagun.

However, it was not possible to bring the Dark King in. Although it was possible to bring someone close to him through the time-space teleportation technique, it was not possible to bring someone who was invisible while riding in a palanquin.

Even if I could bring him, it was a method I wouldn’t choose. It would take a long time to deal with the Dark King, and there was no way to know what variables might arise in the fight between my friends outside or the evil Soma.

I tried to hold out as long as I could and then use it at the end.

I confirmed that Visain was safe because I saw the rope connecting him to the palanquin break earlier.

The evil Soma was also safe, and Jin Ha-gun had already entered the formation.

The last moment when the Dark King descended upon the body of the Demon King.

Now, he decided that it was time to use the space-time transfer technique. However, his opponent was an absolute master of dark magic. This was something he absolutely could not let his guard down.

Even at this moment, the Dark King’s emotions were closer to surprise and admiration, not agitation or anxiety.

“Because of my friend. The anxiety that my friend might die, that was true.”

The sword dance nodded.

“At the same time, anxiety is also my strength.”

The king who was listening said.

“Do you think I can’t kill you because it’s not night?”

The sword dance nodded.

“Wouldn’t that be so? The Dark Heavenly God wouldn’t be able to exert his power.”

Indeed, the white borders on the King’s eyes had become so thin that they were hardly visible.

“As long as the two of us join forces, it doesn’t matter if it’s not night.”

“If that was really the case, they would have come during the day in the first place. They wouldn’t have caused this chaos in the middle of the night like rats.”

The king shouted at the word rat.

“Shut up!”

The queen stopped the excited king.

“Please be patient. The more you talk to the cult leader, the more it will be detrimental to you.”

Then the Dark King spoke in a calm tone.

“The young cult leader is right. If we fight here, we will lose.”

She had a clear understanding of the situation.

The King of Fighters glared at him like a wounded beast, but the Dark King overlapping him had calm eyes.

Her eyes looked back and forth between the sword dance and the evil soma.

At this moment, the two people’s eyes looked similar.

That’s why I could tell, even though we hadn’t fought yet, how fantastic their chemistry would be.

“Knowing that, why are you so relaxed?”

The Dark King answered the sword dance’s question.

“Where there is light, there is always darkness.”

I felt like the dark king was laughing and shaking from the king’s body.

It was just then.

Suddenly, the surroundings began to darken. This world was created by the Sword Dance Theater, a place that could never become dark.

The Black Sword and the Evil Sword looked back. They could see where the darkness had started.

The two people’s gazes turned towards the sky.

The moon was blocking the sun.

It was a solar eclipse.
