Absolute Regression Chapter 805

Episode 805: If you hang out with a drunkard, you’ll become a drunkard.

“How did you meet him?”

When Geommugeuk asked about the Thousand-Sal Castle, the Dark Princess’s gaze softened.
Her eyes held a lot to say, but she remained silent.
Geommugeuk provoked him.

“You must be angry. The life you’ve dreamed of your whole life has been taken over by the Thousand-Sal-Seong.”

The Dark Princess didn’t fall for the provocation of the swordsman. Instead, she responded calmly.

“Aren’t you the one who’s upset? If you had become the leader of the Demonic Cult, you could have become the master of the martial arts world.”

Geommugeuk listened intently to the Dark Princess’s every word as they spoke. It was crucial to learn as much as possible about fire weapons.

“You really believe in the Thousand-Sal Star. Just how strong must you be to believe in it so much?”

Although Geommu-geuk knew this strength better than anyone, he pretended not to know and asked.
The Dark Princess’s gaze turned to Ga-ye, who was standing behind Geommu-geuk.

“If you’re curious, why don’t you ask that priestess who’s trying to save her life by putting on all kinds of show?”

Despite the mocking and belittling remarks, Gaye remained uninjured. She seemed calmer, though this change irritated the Dark Princess.

The sword dance took her side.

“If you’ve used someone and then discarded them, you shouldn’t treat them like traitors. You should at least show some remorse. Why can’t you say sorry?”

Gaye recalled what Geommu-geuk had said earlier.
He’d said the same thing to her when they first met. He’d said he knew how to apologize to Cheonhwaruju. That the Dark Princess had raised him to be someone who didn’t know how to feel sorry.

Observing the Dark Princess’s attitude, I realized she was right. She was raised that way, and that’s how she became.

Suddenly, I remembered what Geommugeuk had said.

“You’ll only be able to see the real sky if you go out to sea. You don’t know if lightning will strike or a typhoon will blow in, but just go out there. If you die, die in that sea.”

Her gaze turned to the Dark Princess.

“I’m not on anyone’s side. I stand here as the Lady of the Shrine.”
“Are the Lady of the Shrine’s beliefs so easily changed?”

The Dark Princess was angry with her. He felt betrayed by her.

“That’s right. I’m not worthy of this. I’ve lived my life supporting you ever since I became a princess at a young age. It would be absurd to talk about heaven’s will now.”

She added, staring into the Dark Princess’s eyes.

“I don’t know if my beliefs have changed easily, but my heart is sincere now.”

She focused her mind. Now she didn’t blame the Dark Princess. Her ship had left the dock and was out to sea.

“Whether I die today, by you, by the Young Leader, or by that person later, I won’t regret today’s decision. Just give up now and tell the Young Leader how to kill him.”

She calmly conveyed her last sincere words.

“This is my last heavenly robe.”

But her will to heaven was completely in vain.

Oh my god.
Pour it.

The blast of energy flying towards her was blocked by Geommu-geuk, who stood still and extended his hand to the side. It wasn’t a blast intended to kill her. It was a light attack, knowing Geommu-geuk would block it.

“This is my answer.”

The Dark Princess wanted to look stunning. A final, final appearance befitting the ultimate leader. Stern, cool, and mysterious. Perhaps she could show that side of herself in front of the Demon Lords.

But it was impossible to show such a side of myself in front of these two people: the Sword Dancer and the Princess Divine. Just looking at them stirred up primal emotions in me.

“You shouldn’t have betrayed me. Considering all I’ve done for you!”

The person who received that resentment was Geommugeuk.

“Don’t be fooled.”

Geommu-geuk said to Gaye.

“Whether I accepted you, or our blunt father, or the old Bloodthirsty Doma, they would have done even more for you than that man. Don’t be fooled by his selfish pretensions. Instead, argue with him. Why are you acting like you’ve given me a dragon’s head when you’ve given me a rat’s tail?”

The Dark Princess really wanted to scream. “You damned cult leader!” He wanted to unleash his slaughter right then and there.
But he held back. No matter how angry he became, there was still work to be done.

On the other hand, the sword dance continued to provoke the Dark Princess.

“You’re a terribly self-absorbed person. If you were to unfold those wrinkles, they’d be filled with selfishness.”
“Who isn’t like that? You’re different? You’re for the people? A magician? Don’t make me laugh. That’s just a game you play for your own satisfaction.”

The sword dance group nodded obediently.

“Yes, I admit it. It’s my pleasure. Instead, I live my life hoping that my pleasure will become pleasure for others as well. And you? What was the result of your pleasure of becoming the mastermind? Was killing everyone around you your pleasure?”
“You were the one who killed them all.”
“It was to save everyone else.”

The two people’s tense gazes were intertwined in the air.

“Where is that Thousand-Sal-Seong now?”

He answered everything else, but never addressed the issue of the Thousand-Sal Castle.
Ga-ye’s voice was heard from behind.

“The Thousand-Year-Old Star awakened on its own and broke the seal of the Seventy-Two Golden Souls on its own.”

She thought it had something to do with the sword dance.

“I think he woke up because of you, Young Master.”

The Sword Dance Theater couldn’t deny it. Because his own regression had changed the timing of his appearance.

“Has he already broken the seal and come out?”

Gaye nodded.

“I think so.”

The sword dance asked the Dark Princess.

“Where is he now?”
“Where do you think he went?”

The place that Geommugeuk thought of was one place.

“Did you go to the main school?”

The Dark Princess spoke coldly, with an expression that said, “This is my revenge.”

“Just as I killed everyone around me, everyone around you will die. This is my final game.”

Even though it was truly scary, Geommugeuk was not flustered or shaken.

“You’re not surprised.”
“I’m the kind of person who worries about everything.”

The sword dance drama revealed its honest feelings.

“Just think of it this way. If Dad can’t solve it, I can’t either.”

It was my faith in my father. This faith was rooted in this: Before his return, he had attained the ten-star level of the Nine-Haired Demonic Arts, but now he had attained the twelve-star level.
And, above all, my father’s life had also changed.

But Gaye feared Cheon Sal-seong more than her father.

“He’s stronger than you can imagine. If you can’t control him with the Six Paths of Energy…”

Geommugeuk could tell that the part where he said that even the Demon Lord could not defeat him was omitted.

Now I understand. Why had Hwamugi been in hiding before his return?
It wasn’t a retreat.

After killing the Murim Alliance, the Apostolic Alliance, and her father, this Dark Princess used the power of the Six Paths to control the fire weapon. Perhaps she sealed it again, or perhaps she killed it.

“How do you use that Six Paths of Power?”

As if waiting for that question, the Dark Princess answered.

“I’ll tell you that.”
“There’s no way you could explain it properly, right?”
“We don’t know how to do it anyway. Only this can teach you.”

Slurp.

The wall behind the Dark Princess opened. Geommu-geuk was startled to see what lay behind it.

Surprisingly, it was a large scepter. The Dark Princess brought the scepter with her to this final battle.

“You know what this is, right?”

Geommugeuk nodded at the Dark Princess’ question.

“I know you are a sacred water that has been passed down from long ago.”

Three hundred years ago, that war also began with this very same scepter. When the scepter released the small scepter, Princess Cheonui believed it was a divine gift bestowed upon her.

“To unite the six paths of energy contained within your body, you must borrow the power of this secret instrument.”

The sword dance drama revealed that the Dark Princess was unaware that she had already learned the Nine-Tails through the Secret and had combined the energy of the Six Paths into one.

In this place, filled with the aura of greed and destruction, and even having successfully used an unknown great law, this was the reason he didn’t immediately attempt to kill himself.

‘He hasn’t given up yet! He intends to use this trap to steal the energy of the Six Paths of Origin.’

Yes, it must have been because of this persistence that I was able to come this far.

What happens when this dagger meets the one who has gathered all six energies?
He aims for that moment to steal their energy.

I had a feeling the Dafa might have something to do with those words etched all over his face.
Sorry, it’s too late. Even if you approach the secret path, nothing will happen.

“Can I come closer and take a look?”

The Dark Princess stepped aside.
Geommugeuk took a few steps and then stopped.

“Why are you showing me so obediently? Are you up to something?”
“You’re the one who said you wanted to look closely. If you don’t like it, back off.”
“You can’t do that, even if it’s just out of curiosity.”

The sword dance moved forward again, approaching the Bigwi. When they parted ways for the last time, they had hoped for a fateful reunion. And so, they met again.

‘Nice to meet you, Bigwiya!’

It was truly a joy to see the scepter I thought I’d never see again. The smaller scepter had vanished when it absorbed its final power, so this was the only scepter left.

The swordsman touched the mirror with his hand.

‘I never thought I’d see you like this again.’

At that very moment.

Slurp.

As if sinking into a swamp, Geommugeuk’s body was sucked into the dungeon. There was no warning or foreshadowing.

“Huh?”

Having been sucked in once, Geommugeuk knew what this phenomenon was.

‘Not now!’

The problem was the people who remained. The Princess Divine was the Princess Divine, but the three Demon Lords and the Heavenly King were still on the ship. They must have been coming here in search of him.

But my body was already more than halfway into the trap.
I couldn’t escape on my own, and even if I could, I couldn’t get out.

In an instant, the sword dance completely disappeared into the sky.

As the sword dance disappeared, the Dark Princess rushed to the secret room. Even as the sword dance approached the secret room, I secretly hoped. I hoped I’d get my last chance!

But then something completely unexpected happened. I never dreamed that Bigwi would absorb Geommugeuk.

The Dark Princess cautiously placed her hand on the area where the sword dance had been absorbed.
She was wary of being absorbed herself, but the wall of the swamp that had absorbed people was a hard, cold lump of metal.

I tried to inject some energy into it and look inside, but I couldn’t feel any energy inside.

The Dark Princess put her hand on the ark and spoke earnestly.

“Noble divine being of the main palace, please grant me the power that the young sect leader has gained!”

But the watchtower didn’t move at all.

“That power is the power of the main palace, and it is my power. Give me strength!”

I cried out desperately, but there was no response from the ghost.

“If you abandon me like this, I will destroy the ark with the young sect leader inside.”

It wasn’t a simple threat. If that happened, they would have won the fight against the cult leader. It wasn’t the best situation, but it was also averted the worst.

“Give me the heavenly robe!”

The Dark Princess raised her hand as if to shatter the ark. A tremendous dark energy surged into her hand.

“Stop!”

The person who shouted to stop him was Gaye.

“The Bigwig is an absolute sacred object of the Heavenly Palace. You can’t break it like that!”

The Dark Princess raised her hand and asked Gaye.

“Are you worried about the secret? Are you worried about the leader?”

Then, unexpected words came out of Gaye’s mouth.

“I’m worried about you.”
“!”

The Dark Princess sensed she was speaking her truth. Having watched her for so long, he knew whether she was telling the truth or lying.

“I’m worried about you right now.”
“Why are you worried about me?”
“Because I’m the Princess of the Underworld and you’re the Princess of Darkness.”

She was trying to fulfill her final role as a princess.

“It’s unfortunate, but the will of heaven belongs to the young sect leader, not to you.”

Looking at the Dark Princess writhing in anger, she finished what she was saying.

“Please do not go against the will of heaven.”

Gaye knew that saying this would only provoke and anger him further, but she felt that conveying it was her last calling.

I should have said this a long time ago, but I’m sorry I’m saying it now.

“You’re a priestess who can’t even receive prophecies.”

Originally, those words had been the most hurtful to her.
But at this moment, Gaye felt that those words no longer hurt her.

The moment he saw her face, serene, the Dark Princess’s rage surged.
It was an expression he had never seen before in years. The thought that this serenity was the product of a sword dance he had only recently encountered filled him with a murderous urge that went beyond anger.

The Dark Princess spoke to her coldly.

“I never believed in heaven from the beginning.”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The tension released by the Dark Princess flew towards her.

Gaye closed her eyes.

In her mind, she was standing on the deck, looking up at the sky. A huge storm was crashing against her ship, but she kept looking up at the sky until the very end.

‘I’m sorry I couldn’t properly convey your intentions.’

bang.

Her new form flew backwards.
Naturally, she assumed she’d been killed in one blow. But she knew she wasn’t dead.

When she opened her eyes, someone was supporting her body behind her. She hadn’t been thrown backwards by the force of the impact. Someone had thrown her, and the Dark Princess’s own tension had been destroyed, and the impact had sent her flying.

Gaye turned around in surprise, and saw Chwima standing behind him. Next to him appeared Mabul, Sehonmajon, and Cheonhwaruju. They had arrived just in time.

The ship didn’t capsize in the storm. She stood on the deck and looked up at the sky.

‘Is there anything else I need to do?’

Gaye looked at Chuma.
She was puzzled why he had saved her. He had said he would save the young sect leader, but to the demon lords, he was nothing more than an enemy. Was it because of the Thousand-Haired Lord?

“Why did you save me?”

The drunkard answered, his voice thick with the smell of alcohol.

“If you hang out with drunkards, you’ll become a drunkard. If you hang out with people who resent the world, you’ll become a resentful person. If you hang out with people who love books, you’ll become a bookish person. And if you hang out with people like our cult leader, you’ll be the first to save anyone in trouble.”

Chuma looked around the room with drunken eyes and asked.

“Where is our little leader?”
