Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 804: The Last (37)

Chapter 804: The Last (37)

He wasn’t able to focus on his work properly, and of course, I thought he’d keep thinking of the conversation we had a few days ago.
He dealt with issues happening on the continent as if he hadn’t forgotten his duty, but it looked like his mind was going somewhere else.
Probably because he thought the contract would work.
The Song Villain moved quickly after receiving reports from his aides.
Immediately after he sat down, I saw him fiddling with an artifact that looked like a helmet.
-How is the situation?
-The battle is going on. Undead creatures of heroic grade and higher are being identified… and the one commanding them…
-Yes?
-It is confirmed to be Elios of the Kingdom of Eberia.
-What…
-The only thing that can explain it is that someone brainwashed him… Since the frontline was built in a hurry, it’s being destroyed helplessly by the fallen Elios, and the damage continues to accumulate. Reinforcements are expected to arrive soon but at this rate…
‘I was wondering what Elios was doing, and he finally appeared.’
-The briefing is done. From now on, I will be in direct command of the field. Please provide the list of named ones currently fighting.
-Yes. One of the new generals of the Republic…
-Please call him.
-Okay.
Although it wasn’t large in scale, it was called a strategic location in its own way, so it would be a natural choice for him to take command. I didn’t know if it was because he acted in a cool way a few days ago, but the people around him looked at him with envy.
He was about to put on the hideous helmet, but he put it down instead. He probably decided that he didn’t need it anymore.
After sitting in his seat, he looked at the screen and what he saw was the battlefield, which was already engulfed by combat. As always, it was a violent scene. Elios wielded a sword amid the sounds of screams and madness, and the undead surrounding him were enough to claim that the continental crisis had come.
Song Sookyung had already made his debut stage, but he felt a little nervous in a place where he could prove himself. He was probably greedy to want to do better than last time.
-From now on, I will command the battlefield myself, Natrian.
-What? You…
-I’m Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee. Please follow orders as the top priority.
I was the one who would get busy.
I wasn’t the target of the contract, but…
‘It looks like I’ll be riding a cheap car.’
Since I was in a position related to the contract, I couldn’t just stand still. It was my job to convey my will to the demon who signed the contract with him.
In short, the contract was carried out through an outsourced company.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with that. I could confirm that there was no problem in terms of the contract, and there was no problem with its functionality.
This was the second time since I targeted a rookie I hadn’t even heard the name of.
‘I’m not the kind that just does it with anyone. I, Lee Kiyoung, go all the way I can.’
I also had some dignity and pride. Fuck.
‘But I guess this one will be fine.’
Although it was a bit embarrassing to compare him with Kim Hyunsung, Thronus, Raphael, and even Cho Hyejin, there was a reason why a new star of the Republic emerged.
He was young and still seemingly had growth potential.
If I forcefully looked for his quality, I would find he had a cheerful rhythm. He wasn’t fast or strong, but I felt a fun rhythm in the movements of his rapier. It wasn’t too constant, either. The skill of shifting around when the enemy got used to it wasn’t bad. If I hadn’t become more exigent, I would have managed to use it while being satisfied. It was boring, but it wasn’t that bad.
The small battlefield was reflected in the telescope. As I recalled the mission to be fulfilled by the new star of the Republic, I could see Song Sookyung speaking as if he was waiting.
Perhaps he was mistaken that he recalled what I recalled.
-Let’s start going to the left. Please move immediately after checking the coordinates. I’ll take the back. Whatever the circumstances, please follow the orders first.
-Yes… Yes.
‘Too slow.’
It was fun, but it was boring because his basic specs had become trash.
Light continued to fall on Natrian’s body, thrusting his weapon against a heroic-grade named undead. It didn’t take long for the incessantly moving swordsman’s face to be filled with joy.
He seemed to think that he and the battlefield were uniting.
It was an experience he had never felt before, so it was natural for him to be happy.
-Elios in the front. Don’t bump into him now. We’ll bypass him.
-Yes, sir!
The arrows and magic fell and missed him, regardless of owner.
He probably felt like he was the main character in a movie.
If it was Kim Hyunsung that I was controlling, I could have felt that sensation, but unfortunately, I couldn’t. Maybe that was what made me feel even more bored.
I liked Natrian quite a bit and provided services in various ways, but we decided to use only about 20% of his abilities, so he was out.
Just doing that would be enough to change the war. As if Elios, no, Jihye also thought that this was the limit of this unit, I could see that the troops were immediately pulled back.
She was most likely aware of the reinforcements and decided she wouldn’t want her location to be found.
-This… Ha… haha… What the hell is this…
In the midst of that, the swordsman stood steadily with the rapier, still feeling the adrenaline rush.
Song Sookyung, sweating even though he didn’t do anything, became dark.
‘I guess you weren’t satisfied.’
-You worked hard.
-N-No. You… worked hard. Really. Ha… haha… you’re great.
-I should be the one saying that.
The atmosphere of the situation room looking at the Goddess’s Mirror and the atmosphere surrounding him was quite the opposite.
He might have felt that the battle they just had wasn’t satisfactory.
It was quite different from before, but what he was aiming for was even higher.
-The Son of Light seemed to have emerged.
-Haha… It seems that the gods have not abandoned the continent yet. It’s a continental blessing.
-That’s great.
-We will be able to fight with the Sunset Swordsman.
I wanted to laugh when I saw his fists clenched, but I had no choice but to hold back.
-Thank you for the hard work.
-It’s for the continent. About Elios… no, I think it would be better to tell Elena first. We will form a unit centered on the Elven Rangers. It is not visible yet, but it feels as if the real identity of the enemies is gradually being revealed. Please keep monitoring them. After the formation of the troops is finished, immediately deploy them.
-Yes, sir.
-Any other specifics?
-It seems that several survivors found in the Federation Battle have come to their senses. I investigated in various directions, but except for those I saw wearing masks… it’s still a situation where we have to relax our mind and body… It looks like it will take more time to reach a definitive answer.
-If new information comes in, please report it immediately. Then I’ll be going…
-Yes. What about the next schedule?
-Please cancel it. I think… I need some time to rest for a moment.
-I see. You deserve it.
‘The New Continental Protection and Management Committee looks happy.’
It seemed that they thought the card they used was correct, and everyone was creating a warm atmosphere. Not him, though.
Upon entering the room, his gaze turned to the Goddess’s Mirror. He probably wanted to see himself uplifted in the media.
Well, he seemed a little satisfied to see that he was called the incarnation of the Son of Light and a tactical genius, but he still looked anxious.
He might think that Kim Hyunsung was also listening to that news, which would probably make him more nervous. The smile on his face gradually disappeared as he thought of something, and I thought I could deduce what he was thinking just by looking at him.
He definitely changed after he took my hand. He grew and apparently broke through his wall.
However…
‘It’s still not enough.’
He might be thinking that unlike before when he couldn’t feel what was lacking in the first place, he realized his difference with Lee Kiyoung more and more now that he gained a slightly new perspective.
It seemed that giving him instructions slightly different from what I would’ve done worked. Human greed knew no bounds.
Had he been the one to be satisfied with this, he might not have held my hand in the first place.
He was pulling out his hair, pretending to be anguished, but I thought I could see what he was thinking. Not surprisingly, I heard him muttering.
-The eyes of the Son of Light…
He spoke slowly. He was waiting for my voice.
“The original is mine. I gave it to him.”
-…
“An eye that reveals what mortals cannot see, and also the medium that connected him with the god of sunset. It was what he wanted most, and it was all of him. It is said that his body has already lost its light, but it does not mean that he’s lost his eye and hearing. It is not something that can be defined as death.”
-I realize that I am lacking. I’m still not enough to stand next to him.
“You can fill that gap.”
Once again, I could see him quietly looking at his hand.
-Perhaps… If I transplant his eyes, would I be able to see what he was looking at? Will I be able to connect with the god of sunset?
“I won’t deny it.”
-…
A few minutes later, the guy with his head down spoke. I honestly thought it would take a little longer.
-Sigh… The body is in the Blue Guild…
‘Wow…’
I had to tremble at the viciousness of that bastard.
-Damn… Is there any way to get it out?
‘This bastard was really crazy. Really.’
That made me think Belial didn’t applaud him for no reason.
‘As a real human being, shouldn’t you stop before you cross that line…’
-Sh*t.
‘Is he even human?’
Although I intended it, wasn’t this too fast? He had to think about it a little more. It felt too creepy…
I had chills due to his freakiness, but I had to smile.
-The eyes and heart of the Son of Light.
“…”
-The eyes of Lee Kiyoung. Lee Kiyoung’s heart. Lee Kiyoung’s eyes. Right. Lee Kiyoung’s eyes.
“It is entirely your will to choose to be perfect.”
-It would be impossible to sneak in.
It wasn’t possible even when I thought about it.
-There is no choice but to be mordacious.
A political approach was the better option, and maybe it wasn’t a bad choice to make contact while lying about being chosen by the light.
-No. It’s too… dangerous. I could infer his anger.
‘At least you know that.’
Although the methods were limited even for me, it seemed that he thought it wasn’t bad to try once. He hurried to contact someone and spoke to them. His eyes seemed lost in the abyss already.
-Please prepare people we can trust.
‘You have become a real runaway locomotive.’
-Yes, sir. It looks like we need to change the meeting location with the Blue Guild.
‘Wow, a real demon. In a few days, you have become a demon.’
-Lee Kiyoung’s… I mean, we need the body of the late Honorary Cardinal.
His expression contained malice. He was trying to dishonor my body, the body of the light that sacrificed everything for the continent.
He was definitely becoming a demon.
