Absolute Regression Chapter 770

I visited the 770th time, today too

Had he ever been so flustered in his life?
Chai Ran could say with certainty.
It was the first time he’d felt so flustered that his face flushed and he could feel the heat.

As her face flushed red, the Sword King felt sorry. He knew the Sword Dance was clearly just teasing her, yet he played along to his rhythm.

“You have to stay here and wait. You can’t come out in the middle of the process.
” “What kind of prank are you trying to pull now?”

I pretended to be defeated and dragged her along, but I secretly wondered if she really liked me. Seeing how many times Geommu-geuk repeated the phrase and how much of a fuss he was making, it seemed like it wasn’t just empty talk.

But now, judging by her reaction, I could tell she really liked me. It was surprising. All we did was say hello and chat lightly as we passed each other. She liked me?

“Long time no see.”

Chai Ran tried to calm down and calm down at the King of Swords’ greeting.

“long time no see.”

I could sense an unmistakable tremor in her voice. Even as she greeted me, this was the only thought on her mind.

‘Where did I hear that from earlier? Surely I didn’t hear everything, did I?’

“You asked me so loudly to find my love. Please tell me you didn’t hear me! This was all a conspiracy by the cult leader. If it weren’t for the Sword King, I would have grabbed him by the collar and shaken him this way and that.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Me neither.”
“What’s going on?”

The Sword King was at a loss to answer Chae’s question. How could he possibly explain in simple terms how he had come to the main headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect?
The Sword King hesitated, and Geommu-geuk answered on his behalf.

“I came to the main school because you wanted to see me.”

I thought it was not a bad idea, but a joke about myself.

“Stop teasing me now!”

You brought the evil military school here and still acted like a fool. And you’re still trying to play a prank until the very end.

But it seems it wasn’t just a joke. The Sword King intervened and spoke calmly.

“Seeing you was one of the reasons I came to the Shingyo.”

Her heart, which had been calmed by those words, pounded. Her heart was telling her that she still liked him.
Of course, the Sword King didn’t reveal his personal feelings.

“Since only you and I survived, I thought we should see it at least once.”

At those words, Chai-ran could tell that among the twelve subordinates of the Dark Princess, only Akgunhak and herself survived.

“In the end, they all died.”

Her gaze returned to the Sword Dance Theater. While she was conducting various affairs in the Dark Palace, the Demonic Cult’s junior leader had been completely ignored.
However, he gradually became the center of events, and eventually, everyone except herself and the Sword King were swept away by him. She had never imagined that they would all fall prey to a junior leader who wasn’t even the leader.

‘You really are a man who doesn’t know what is impossible.’

Moreover, he kept his promise. He would rescue his love. He took her from the clutches of the terrifying Dark Princess and brought her before him.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

The Sword King nodded.

“I’m fine. Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m fine.”

As I began to speak with the Sword King, my trembling heart calmed down.
She asked cautiously.

“Did you hear what I said earlier?”

The Sword King nodded. It had already come to this, so he couldn’t continue to blush and feel embarrassed.

“Don’t mind it, it’s just a prank I often played with the cult leader here.”

Then the sword dance came in.

“Won’t you regret it?”

The Sword Dance Theater knows. If this exciting event ends today, it won’t be easy to create this kind of atmosphere again. Because I won’t blush like this again.

“I’m saying you won’t regret it later. I should’ve told you how I felt then. Since this was the end of our relationship, why did I hide my feelings? It would’ve been embarrassing. No, actually, it’s embarrassing not to be able to tell you how I feel.”

Chai-ran couldn’t refute it. She knew she would definitely regret it.

“Why are you trying to connect us like this?”
“Because we’re both good people.”

Then the Sword King intervened and said.

“That’s a lie. He’s just enjoying seeing us flustered. He’s just trying to tease us.”
“Oh, brother! It’s a misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding!”

Chai Ran asked Geommugeuk.

“You said I was a good person, right? Tell me three good things about me.”
“…….”
“I knew it.”

Chai Lan stood next to the Sword King and formed a united front.

“We were dragged here for the cult leader’s fleeting amusement and pleasure.”
“If we don’t come to our senses, we’ll fall prey to the cult leader’s tricks again.”

Geommugeuk said with a dumbfounded expression.

“I tried to put the two together, but it wasn’t like this.”

All three smiled at the same time. After a round of banter, the atmosphere relaxed and the awkwardness and embarrassment disappeared.

Chai Ran’s gaze turned towards the Sword King.

“Actually, I survived because of you. You saved my life.”

The Sword King asked with a surprised expression at her words.

“What does that mean?”

Chai Ran’s gaze turned towards Geommu-geuk.

“The cult leader didn’t kill me because he knew I liked you.”
“!”

The Sword King looked at the Sword Dance with a surprised expression.

“Really?”
“It’s possible that Brother Evil likes him. Even if he’s my enemy, how could I kill someone Brother Evil likes?”

At those words, the Sword King shook his head as if he couldn’t stop them. It must have been a life-or-death situation.

“Even in all that, the cult leader wanted to let you go, no matter what. Honestly, I couldn’t understand it. If he loved you so much, why should he keep you? Why would he let you go? Honestly, I still don’t understand.”

The sword dance told her.

“You’ll understand now. The strategy has changed. Back then, it was about freeing this man, but now it’s about keeping him tied down by our side.”

At those words, Chai-ran’s heart fluttered slightly. If she could spend time with him, there was nothing she could wish for more.

“Are you holding a strategy meeting when the other side is listening?”
“Who would be fooled if you tried to deceive them? From now on, our plan is to clip that guy’s wings and grab his trouser leg. I’ll grab his left leg, so you grab his right leg. I’ll pour out all my friendship and affection. If that doesn’t work, as soon as Doma and Geomjon return, I’ll pull that ponytail off too.”

To say something like that in front of the Sword King? To ask him to grab a man’s leg? But I didn’t feel bad at all. The Sword King was smiling, too. Truly, in this world of martial arts, only sword dances are possible.

“Fortunately, our evil brother will be staying at our school for the time being. So, when I told him to teach me martial arts, I wasn’t joking.”

I won’t teach you the martial arts of the Dokmun, but even if you teach them basic swordsmanship, they will be much stronger than if they learned some basic martial arts.

“Will you really teach me and my subordinates swordsmanship?”

Akgunhak smiled and answered Chai Ran’s cautious question.

“If it’s okay with you, Mr. Mu-Gwan.”

Ian was practicing martial arts alone.
Her sword flowed gently like waves, then erupted violently like lava. No matter the situation, her gaze never left the tip of the sword.

Now she was fighting against an imaginary enemy, and after achieving great success in the Bicheon Sword Technique, she began to seriously practice imagining fighting against imaginary enemies.

As she grew, her imaginary enemies grew stronger. She used her imagination to the fullest extent possible.

That’s why this fight couldn’t have been so spectacular.
Dodging the enemy’s attacks, repeatedly dodging them, even rolling on the ground to evade them, seemed comical at first glance.

But Ian was serious. She wasn’t using her imagination for mere
fantasy. She knew that if done improperly, it could actually be detrimental.
If she became accustomed to attacks she could easily block, she would be unable to block enemy attacks in real combat.

After waving her sword around in the air, she took a deep breath and raised her sword blade. Her imaginary enemy, still standing, stared at her.

Then a welcome voice was heard from behind.

“Isn’t that so unfair?”

The moment he heard those words, Ian’s expression brightened.

“If you are this beautiful and practice hard, wouldn’t you be perfect?”
“Master!”

When she turned around, Geommu-geuk was standing there. She stared at Geommu-geuk for a moment, then smiled brightly and said,

“Your Majesty! Congratulations on your transformation!”

The sword dance made a surprised expression.

“Who told you? Did you meet my father?”
“No, I just knew it when I saw him.”

Ian immediately noticed the change in Geommu-geuk. She had been Geommu-geuk’s escort since childhood. He could sense the changes in her body even more clearly than Geommu-geuk.

“How can I not recognize you when you have changed so much?”

The change was so great that it was immediately apparent that it had been completely transformed.

“You’re not that surprised?”
“Yeah, I guess so. Why am I not surprised?”

Ian opened his eyes wide and tilted his head.

“I guess I just assumed that if you were the young master, you’d naturally undergo a complete transformation. If you were the young master, you’d be the type of person who’d come back and say, ‘I just saved the martial arts world from destruction.'”

Just as Ian was laughing bashfully, Geommu-geuk hugged her tightly. In the past, he’d carry her on his back or run up to her for a hug, but he’d been less frequent lately.

“I missed you, Ian.”

Ian hugged him tighter than usual, and he hugged Geommugeuk tightly as well. You must be tired, Young Master.

“Oh, these arms feel so unfamiliar. Your chest has expanded and you’ve grown taller. I feel like I’m having an affair.”

Ian’s joke made the Geommu-geuk laugh. Yes, there’s a thrill and comfort that only Ian can give.

“They say I smell good now?”
“This smell is really good, but I think I like your original scent better.”
“You’re probably the only one who says my original scent is better than the scent coming from my transformed body.”
“Is that true?”

Then, startled, Ian quickly escaped from Geommugeuk’s embrace.

“Ah! I smell like sweat.”

I had momentarily forgotten that I had just finished my martial arts training.

“While we’re on the subject, let me ask you. Do you only practice martial arts whenever I come? Are you either using the martial arts you diligently learned to beat up people you don’t like, or getting drunk and throwing a tantrum, or going on a trip somewhere? Live true to your desires!”
“To become stronger than anyone else. That’s my greatest desire.”
“Then what’s your second desire? What’s your third desire?”
“My subsequent desires can only be fulfilled if the first one is fulfilled.”
“So what is that?”

But Ian never told Geommu-geuk. She smiled and changed the subject.

“Now, since the young sect leader has returned, I will summon the nobles.”

Geommugeuk nodded and answered.

“Yeah, I have someone I can introduce you to.”

Seventeen Jiao was wearing Chayiran’s blue palace attire.
Chayiran’s eyes were precise in determining which color suited her best. She was incomparably more beautiful in her martial arts attire.

Seventeen took a deep breath and walked into the Akingok Valley.
He’d been near here before, but never inside.

There was no guard at the entrance, but there were eyes peering down at her. Unseen visitors sat on the branches on either side of the entrance. Some squatted, others sat comfortably.

She walked past those guarding the entrance and continued inside, feeling more nervous than she ever had on an assassination mission.

She’d hoped she’d stumble upon a Crescent Moon Masked Man, but it was a far cry.
There were far more Masked Man wandering around than when they’d last worked together. Back then, only the elite had come, but now they were all present. The sheer number of masked men was overwhelming.

Eventually, I gave up on looking for it myself and spoke to a passerby.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

The faceless man looked at her intently and nodded.

“I’m looking for someone. I’d like to meet someone with a crescent moon on their mask.”

Then the faceless guest answered.

“Please wait.”

He leaped up. Sometimes it feels truly bizarre, but at other times, it seems perfectly normal. These people, the maskless guests, are the ones who are truly bizarre.

A moment later, a masked guest appeared there. He was none other than the Crescent Masked Guest.

The eyes beneath the mask were filled with surprise, as if he hadn’t expected her to come all the way here.

The Seventeenth Religion was really nervous, but since they had already gathered the courage to come this far, they pushed through to the end.

“I know it’s rude to come by like this, but… I missed you. Since you didn’t come, I came too.”

There were still many eyes watching her from all around. But she wasn’t embarrassed.
Then, unexpected words spilled from the Crescent Moon’s faceless guest’s lips.

“I went to see you again today.”

The moment she heard those words, Seventeen-Kyo was startled. She soon realized. This man had been among the onlookers earlier. He had truly come to see her, unmasked.

The Seventeenth Religion was incredibly moving. The phrase “today too” meant it had happened on other days as well. This emotion led to further courage.

“Please show me the house.”

The crescent moon guest nodded.

Two people walked into the evil valley.
At the same time, a masked man who had been watching them displayed his lightness and flew inside. It was he who had heard the Crescent Masked Man’s transmission.

-Go ahead and clean up the house!
