The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 579

Episode 579 Is this possible? (2)

Gillian strode towards Kaor, who had done something without consulting him.

“What are you doing? I will not tolerate individual actions. We need to get things sorted out and move quickly.”

“Don’t bother me, old man. I’m going to climb over the wall now.”

“It’s impossible with that kind of mindset.”

A superhuman must create his own world. However, Kaor has always acted as he pleases and has not even a little faith.

It’s hard to be confident in yourself with that kind of mindset.

“After the war, meditate and calm your mind. That will help you more.”

Although Kaor had gotten stronger, it was only thanks to Giselle’s forced education. He was able to do this much thanks to Giselle forcibly beating up a weakling.

So, now I can’t get over the wall. I need to cultivate myself a little more and discipline my mind.

But Kaor growled at Gillian’s words.

“Don’t ignore me. Even the inspiration and the butler eventually became superhumans. Why can’t I? I will definitely become a superhuman this time.”

Gillian raised her hand, frowning, as if she was trying to stop him by force.

What kind of nonsense is this at such an important time?

But an unexpected person took Kaor’s side.

“If you want to do something like that, tell them to try it once. Can you give them that much of a chance?”

“princess.”

The person who took Kaor’s side was Elena. Her nervous and trembling appearance had now disappeared.

Instead, he stood upright with the enemy’s blood all over his body.

Elena continued with a calm expression.

“Kaor has been with us for a long time and has accomplished many great things. If we don’t believe in him, who will?”

Gillian felt a little embarrassed at those words.

Although he was always looked down on and considered a troublemaker, Kaor was one of the greatest contributors to the territory no matter what anyone said.

Even though you avoided rough and tough work, didn’t you end up doing it anyway, even if it was forced?

There was no reason not to allow that kind of person to have a fight if he wanted to.

‘The princess is better than me.’

I only saw her as young and immature, but that was not the case. She, like her father and older brother, was born with the qualities of a great monarch.

Gillian bowed her head slightly to Elena.

“Understood. I will do as you wish, Princess.”

Elena and Gillian gave their permission. Everyone else just smiled and couldn’t stop them.

Elena, who had been standing upright, glanced around and then quickly stepped back. To anyone who saw her, it looked like she was avoiding it because she was embarrassed about having stepped forward.

But she moved stealthily and went to where some of the knights were gathered.

Then he spoke in a small voice.

“Okay? The showdown has been set. Who are you going to bet on?”

“Oh, as expected of a princess. I’ll bet on the priest.”

“I’ll ask the priest too.”

“Even if he is only half a superhuman, it would still be difficult for Captain Kaor to win.”

The knights were making a bet. Elena had helped Kaor in order to participate in the bet herself.

As expected, it was the same old brother and sister. The dream of becoming an elegant lady was getting further and further away, but Elena didn’t realize it.

Anyway, most of the knights walked towards the priest. Elena, who had been thinking for a while, made up her mind.

“I want to bet on Kaor.”

“Huh? Really? It’s not soft.”

“I have a good instinct for this kind of thing. I even bet money on you when you were fighting Kane before. Right? Skoban.”

“Skoban said, scratching his head.

“Oh, yeah, well… … . That’s what happened.”

At that time, Elena had already seen Giselle’s skills and was able to win the bet, but in any case, she believed in Kaor’s potential.

Skoban and Ricardo also followed Elena and placed a small bet on Kaor.

Arel couldn’t bring himself to stop the princess from participating in the bet and just fidgeted beside her.

The atmosphere around them gradually became heated. Since it had come to this, everyone wanted to have some fun watching it.

Fiote waited around Kaor, while Gillian and Belinda were ready to jump in at any moment.

He was an idiot, but I couldn’t just let him die.

Kaor, who was elated when even Elena took her side, spoke to the priest.

“Okay, there are no more intruders. Now let’s have a go at it, just the two of us.”

“This, this guy dares… … .”

The priest ground his teeth in shame. How could he suddenly engage in a one-on-one confrontation when he thought he was being made fun of?

But I couldn’t refuse. My allies had already been annihilated and the enemy had surrounded the entire area.

If you fight all of them, you die. There is no escape. The only way to survive is to win the fight.

“Are you really going to let me go if I win?”

“Oh, that’s right. You’ve been living a lie? Hehe.”

Kaor took off his helmet and threw it away. He even took off all his armor and threw it aside.

I intended to fight using only my own skills, without relying on the power of the armor.

The priest who saw that sight raised his spirits.

Gooooooo… … .

A black aura was surging through the air. Although tired, the priest was still a superman.

He said with a life-threatening look in his eyes.

“You will regret it.”

Kwaaang!

The priest’s hand came up in an instant and attacked Kaor. Kaor barely managed to block it, but was forced to keep being pushed back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Ugh!”

Kaor gritted his teeth. The difference in strength was clearly felt when fighting one-on-one. If he blocked twice, he would definitely get hit once.

Fortunately, Kaoru was able to avoid fatal injuries thanks to his skills honed through actual combat.

The onlookers sighed and clicked their tongues.

“That won’t work.”

“Because a superman is a superman.”

“How long can you hold out?”

Even though he has an ugly face, Kaor is on the same side. I couldn’t feel at ease seeing him constantly being pushed around.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kaor gritted his teeth and swung his sword. His rough attacks sometimes sent chills down the priest’s liver.

But that could not be a real threat. To the priest, Kaor was nothing more than a weak beast.

No, it wasn’t a beast anymore. It was just a grumpy puppy.

Even though the priest was tired, his power was still overwhelmingly stronger than Kaor’s.

Boom!

“Ugh… … .”

Kaor was hit in the stomach and fell backwards.

The priest deliberately kept the situation in his hand because he was worried that if he killed them for no reason, others would break their promise and kill him.

“The match is decided. Stop attacking me. I will go back as promised.”

“Oh, where are you going… … . It’s not over yet.”

Kaor got up, gritting his teeth.

I was so embarrassed and angry that I got beaten up like this while everyone was watching. Why can’t I be like Gillian?

Fiote, unable to stand by and watch, stepped forward and spread his divine power around.

Cheeeeek!

Kaor’s wounds began to heal little by little, and the priest’s energy began to be suppressed.

The priest frowned and said.

“Are you not going to keep your promise? Why did you ask for a one-on-one fight if you were going to cooperate in the end?”

Kaoru shouted, her face distorted at the sarcastic voice.

“Don’t do it! Don’t interfere! I’ll do it by myself!”

“… … Ugh.”

Fiote looked embarrassed and withdrew his divine power. He couldn’t intervene when you said that.

However, Kaor, who had recovered some of her stamina in that short period of time, held out her sword again.

“Do it again. It’s not over yet.”

The priest frowned. In his opinion, that wasn’t grit.

In the first place, it is arrogant for a non-superhuman to challenge a superhuman. He claims that he can overcome the wall, but it is nothing more than a useless stubbornness.

The priest slowly opened his mouth.

“Before becoming a judge, I was in charge of the education of priests in the church.”

“so?”

“I’ve seen a lot of people like you. People whose goals are too high compared to their abilities. In the end, they end up feeling inferior and doing unreasonable things.”

“Ha, what are you babbling about? I don’t have any inferiority complex!”

“Back off. You can’t beat me in your current state. Even your current level is far superior to your age. Be thankful for that.”

The priest gave Kaor sincere advice. Even though they were enemies, he could escape safely if the enemy retreated.

But if Kaor was someone who could take advice, there was no way she would be called a loser.

“Shut up! I will catch you.”

Kaor attacked the priest again.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

The more the two fought, the more exhausted they became. And that was even more disadvantageous to Kaor.

This is because, trying to fight while keeping up with the strength and speed of a superhuman, I had no choice but to continue pushing myself too hard.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

Kaor collapsed, blood spewing from his mouth.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Kaor, who had lost all his strength, was now hit and fell down every time he lunged. Before he knew it, his whole body was covered in blood, but he staggered and stood up firmly.

“Whew… … He really is quite stubborn.”

The priest frowned. He too was suffering from many wounds at the moment. The opponent should have surrendered quickly, but he showed no sign of doing so.

He tried to knock her out, but it wasn’t easy because he was so weak.

“Krrrrrrr… … .”

Kaor approached the priest again, spitting out blood. The priest mustered up his remaining strength to approach and throw a punch.

Phew!

Kuung!

Kaor, who had been spewing blood, fell down like a doll with its strings cut.

The priest said as he saw Kaor writhing on the floor.

“I will go back as promised.”

Belinda crossed her arms and chewed her lips. Anyone could tell she was debating whether or not to kill the thing.

Gillian’s expression was not good either. The opponent was a superhuman. If the author were to survive and join another legion, he would become a powerful weapon that could kill allies.

Some people looked at Kaor with pitiful eyes. Some looked at her pitifully, as if they had expected her to do so.

“Ugh… … .”

Kaor stood up again, receiving all those gazes. He staggered, but somehow managed to keep his posture.

I’m so angry. I’m so angry and embarrassed.

“Why can’t I become a superhuman… … .”

Are you really saying that this is your limit?

Kaor looked around with a swollen face.

Belinda, Gillian, Fiote, Alfoy picking his nose, Claude yawning… … .

Many people seem to think so. Are they really such pathetic, greedy, and overbearing people?

Now that you’ve reached the top level, the gap between you and a superhuman is just a wall. Is it really that big of a deal to want to overcome that?

‘world…….’

I don’t know. What that world is.

Why can’t I create my own world?

‘inspiration…….’

Gillian had a strong loyalty to Giselle and would protect her.

‘Butler… … .’

Belinda was able to let go of the anxiety that had been weighing her down. Only by trusting Giselle was she able to let go of her heavy heart.

‘Vanessa… … .’

A wizard is a being who seeks the truth. Vanessa was gradually understanding the principles of the world with her excellent intellect.

‘wingy…….’

Tennant decided to cast off his pride, repent, and wash away his sins.

They were all so different, so comparing them would not help or help us learn how to become superhumans.

But there was a difference between them and Kaor. Kaor realized it only then.

“No, I don’t have anything like that… … .”

The world of superhumans begins with setting firm standards for what kind of life one will live.

If you don’t have that standard, or if you have even the slightest doubt about your own life, you will never be able to create your own world.

He had no particular purpose, no beliefs, nothing to be bound by, nothing to repent for. He had not realized any way of the world.

I just wanted to have fun every day, have fun, and fight sometimes.

He was trying to become a superhuman without any goals that could be called a direction in life.

“Am I wrong?”

Kaoru lowered her head and muttered.

Could it be that I was really wrong?

Should I set a goal, establish beliefs, and live fiercely like everyone else?

“What on earth is this for… … Why do I have to do this… … . Just living each day is a big deal… … .”

Kaoru even had tears in her eyes.

Even though he had accumulated this level of skill, he was treated as a pitiful bundle of trouble in the territory. So he couldn’t stand his inferiority complex any longer.

In fact, Kaoru also made up his mind and tried hard. He secretly trained hard when no one was watching, fearing that he would be ridiculed if others found out.

Still, I couldn’t get over the wall.

“I was just… … a pathetic guy.”

In fact, Kaor also knows that she has not reached her current level just through her own talent and effort.

Jiselle gave me full support and guidance, and even made me risk my life and force me to push my limits.

But no one can create your own world for you.

“This is… … my limit.”

A line of blood flowed from the corner of Kaor’s mouth as he lowered his head in despair.

Whenever Kaor was going through a hard time, she thought of her grandmother who had passed away a long time ago.

‘Grandma… … What should I do? Am I really just a regular person?’

But then again, I remembered the omelette my grandmother used to make for me.

‘Oh, that was delicious. I want to eat it again.’

At that moment, Kaor felt a sense of self-loathing. In this dire situation, he was thinking about playing around again.

I wanted to go back to my childhood. To the time when I lived with my grandmother who gave me unconditional love.

In those days, it was okay to live without thinking about anything. I didn’t need a purpose or beliefs. I was just busy playing and being happy.

Grandma always said to Kaor.

– It’s okay if you don’t become a great person.

– It’s okay if you’re not good at studying or working.

– I just want you to not get sick and be happy every day.

‘grandma…….’

Yeah, isn’t grandma right?

Isn’t it okay if it’s just a little bit lacking as long as it’s fun?

That’s not wrong. It’s just different.

When Kaor thought about it, he felt a pang in his stomach. So he just shouted out loud.

“fu*k! Do you really need to have a grand goal in life? Just enjoy today!”

“Can’t you just be happy today? Why are you all thinking so much?”

“Leave today’s worries to tomorrow’s me! Leave tomorrow’s worries to the me of the day after tomorrow!”

People’s mouths fell open at Kaor’s scream. Only Alfoy nodded in sympathy.

Kaor’s cries of indignation continued.

“Why do you have to have a goal or belief to become a superhuman? You can just become one!”

“What’s so great about enlightenment? If I’m happy today, then that’s enlightenment!”

“Honestly, we all hate working all day long! Our Yeongji is so hard!”

This time, most people nodded their heads. Claude and Alfoy in particular gave a strong yes.

“fu*k, do you really have to achieve something? How many people are like that? Everyone just lives day by day! They live to have fun!”

Everyone listened to Kaor’s words with bewildered expressions. Even the priest stopped himself from attacking.

Kaor, who had been shouting loudly, muttered one last time as if she had lost her strength.

“fu*k, it’s okay to make mistakes and errors in life… … . It’s okay to want to have fun. What the fu*k, everything’s cool and perfect and all… … . It’s good that everyone is so great. fu*k… … . Just eat some shit. fu*k… … .”

Belinda and Gillian became superhumans long ago. Vanessa and Tennant, who joined later, also became superhumans.

Knights like Lucas and Gordon were also following closely behind him.

Arel, a disciple of Giselle, was growing at an astonishing rate. It was said that he would become a superhuman in just a few years.

So Kaor became even more anxious and had built up a lot of inferiority complex.

But I felt relieved when I said everything I wanted to say in front of everyone.

The conclusion was that he just wanted to play every day without any worries.

Everyone was so dumbfounded that they couldn’t say anything, but the priest shouted at them instead.

“This, this pathetic guy! I just can’t stand listening to him!”

“… … .”

“You can’t do that!”

“… … .”

“If you live like that, you’re an animal! Since ancient times, people have followed God’s will even when it was difficult, and they always whip themselves and work hard… … .”

The priest is quite old. He is an extremely religious person. He was also in charge of education for the Salvation Church.

All of that adds up to making you a person who even trains his enemies.

Kaor, who had been listening, straightened her back and raised her sword.

“Okay. Why are there so many old farts around me?”

It was a tone of speech that showed that he had no idea that he was the problem. He had no intention of finding out.

Because Kaor decided not to worry anymore. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

“What, that superhuman thing? If it doesn’t work out, then that’s the end.”

I thought it would be better to kill the priest quickly and feel better while eating meat and drinking alcohol.

Kaoru had often felt uneasy inside.

Is it really okay to live like this?

That insecurity created an inferiority complex and continued to eat away at me.

But now I was sure.

That’s different, it’s not wrong.

There are lives like this and lives like that. No matter how you live, as long as you don’t harm others, it’s fine.

“Whether I become a superhuman or not, I just need to have fun today!”

Kaor took a step forward, gripping his sword tightly, ready to burn all the strength he had left.

And then what if I die?

If you fight happily and die, that’s enough.

He was sure.

This is also not a bad life.

At that moment.

Paaaaah!

A bright blue light shot straight out from Kaor’s sword.
