Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[To Murim (1)]

Haha!

The waves of Mt. Baekdu’s Cheonji (天池) shook greatly at the white tiger’s roar. Around the lake, birds flew up in surprise and monsters shrank their necks like turtles.

Damn. Damn it!

Every time the white tiger took a step, ice froze in the place where its footprints were left. The breath that the white tiger exhaled became white frost.

Crumbling….

White Tiger was the master of heaven and earth. Originally a spirit creature from the martial world, he came to Earth and settled here on Mt. Baekdu.

The sacred energy flowing through the heavens and earth suited the white tiger well. In the past few years, the white tiger has doubled in size.

If a few more years had passed like this, Baekho could have broken away from his current form and become a more powerful being. It’s like an Imoogi becoming a dragon.

“Hey. “Look at the shine on that fur.”

…If only I hadn’t met the human landlord who had just appeared in the sky.

The white tiger, feeling both discomfort and a sense of crisis from Daein’s gaze, roared once again.

Hahaha!

A roar that literally shakes the heavens and earth.

With this roar and several fights, the white tiger defeated powerful monsters in heaven and earth and reigned as the king of this place.

However, Daein, who was now facing Baekho, only frowned slightly.

“Why are you shouting so loudly?”

The great man walked towards the white tiger with long strides. There was no sword. I don’t want the precious white tiger leather to get damaged.

Crrrrr…!

Baekho, feeling that his opponent was not formidable, lowered his posture and showed his teeth. It was the posture just before attacking the prey.

Ssssssut.

The white tiger’s protruding claws were filled with pure white energy.

If the martial arts people had seen that scene, they would have been shocked and turned over.

Because it was, however clumsily, in the shape of strength.

At the same time, a terrifying force rose from the white tiger’s body. It is not the energy accumulated by mental methods like humans, but the energy that has been condensed by accumulating and accumulating clean natural energy over a long period of time.

The movements of Baekho, who had accumulated a lot of energy, were no less than those of a peak expert.

Teuung-!

The white tiger’s claws jumped like an explosion and aimed at Daein. Until now, more than one monster had been caught in those claws and torn to pieces.

Baekho was sure. This attack would be able to tear the opponent to pieces.

However, rather than being scared, the person in front of him just smiled happily.

“I think Naedan will be pretty good too, right?”

-Bah!

With the heavy hitting sound, Baekho felt that the world had been turned upside down. Otherwise, the sky wouldn’t be on the floor.

Coo!

Daein’s uppercut caused Baekho’s body to rotate 180 degrees and fall to the floor.

“Look at this? “It was an attack of conversion, but you didn’t die, right?”

The great man approached, clenching and unclenching his numb fist. Daeho, who barely got up, hesitated and took a step back.

Kiing….

The majesty that the owner of heaven and earth exuded was no longer there. As the white tiger was a spirit creature, it was quick-witted, and getting hit once was enough to know that the opponent was much stronger than itself.

The white tiger opened its mouth wide. White frosty breath came out of its mouth. It looked like a long blast used by ice ball experts.

As soon as it let out its breath, the white tiger turned and ran away. He was the master of heaven and earth, and he had to live first.

“hey! at there!”

The white tiger ran down Baekdu Mountain at an incredible speed. Beasts and monsters gave way to the ferocious energy he gave off.

However, after a while, the white tiger noticed a small human blocking his path. It was a small human female with red hair and red eyes.

Haha!

The white tiger roared urgently. But today, the white tiger’s roar had little effect.

Lily, who was eating a raspberry with a bunch of raspberries in her mouth, looked back at the white tiger and opened her eyes wide.

“That’s a huge meow!”

Kyaaa!

The soft cat in the girl’s arms roared at the white tiger. He seemed to feel that his opponent might threaten his position.

But Malang’s worries were unfounded. Before I knew it, Daein, who had been chasing the white tiger, caught its tail.

“Hwaaaap!”

The great man’s arm muscles swelled to the fullest.

During the month I spent in North Korea, I sought out and ate all the spiritual creatures that were good for my body, which gave me strength.

Big!

The white tiger roared desperately. He wanted to cry.

If only I had a few more years, I could have become a divine being…!

That was Baekho’s last thought. The great man grabbed the white tiger’s tail and lifted it up. The white tiger rose into the sky and fell headfirst to the ground on the other side.

-Quaaaang!

Baekho fainted after receiving a massive blow to his skull. That was the end. Daein used the polynomial method to destroy Baekho’s brain.

Lily, who came running late, shouted.

“Don’t kill meow! Let’s raise it at home!”

The great man shook his head.

“How do you grow something this big at home?”

In fact, there is nothing that cannot be grown in the yard of a house being built now, but it is not something that can be harvested carelessly.

“Like a mallang, you can’t tame it unless you raise it from infancy.”

It was better for a great person to take care of its parts rather than to raise a spirit creature that was difficult to manage.

“Hehe…”

Lily made a sullen expression and the soft roared in victory at the white tiger stretched out on the ground.

Daein skillfully dismantled the white tiger. The skin was peeled off while maintaining its original shape as much as possible, and the bones were collected into a skeleton.

“meat!”

Lily, who had been looking at Meowth with sad eyes just a moment ago, changed her attitude as soon as she saw the fresh meat and gulped.

The great man cut the meat into small pieces and put it in the zipper bag he had brought.

“The highlight is, of course, Naedan.”

When I searched deep inside the white tiger’s stomach, I found an inner layer as white as snow. The great man took it out and looked at it carefully.

Ssssssut.

The fist-sized inner dan contained tremendous coldness. The coldness that appeared on the outside was not that strong, but the energy condensed inside was enormous.

In martial arts, this type of inner altar was called Bingjeong (氷晶).

However, the great man had a perplexed expression.

“I can’t eat this.”

Ice crystal is a better elixir than Daehwandan for martial people who have learned ice ball, but it is not particularly useful for great people.

You have to be able to eat it, but the efficiency is greatly reduced.

In addition, the great man is now past the stage of further increasing his strength with neidan or elixir. It was at a level where I couldn’t use everything I had.

Of course, this does not mean that ice crystals are not valuable.

“I should take it to Moorim and sell it for a high price.”

Or it could be used as a means of transaction.

‘Because there are a lot of crazy people in Moorim who risk their lives for me.’

Daein, who carefully packed everything from leather to ice crystals into a bag, called out to Lily, who was squatting in front of the white tiger.

“kid. “Let’s go down.”

“I’m sorry, Meowa… but you were delicious.”

There was a little soot on the corner of Lily’s mouth as she whispered softly.

“Have you eaten it recently?”

“A little…”

The great man sighed and wiped the soot from the corner of Lily’s mouth with a wet tissue.

After a while, the two left Mt. Baekdu and flew to Pyongyang.

***

A month has passed since Daein and his group came to North Korea.

The appearance of Pyongyang has changed surprisingly much.

Busy and crowded.

As the population recovered to the 10,000 mark, the city that had been ruined by spirits was turning into a fairly habitable place.

‘It was big that we quickly absorbed it from the warlords.’

Starting with Kang Jeong-taek, who formed the largest warlord, Daein kidnapped the heads of each warlord and brought them to Ri Cheol-jun.

They either swore allegiance to Ri Chol-jun or were executed, and their forces were completely absorbed by Ri Chol-jun.

Ri Cheol-jun’s power grew enormous in an instant and was now firmly established.

‘Still, there’s still a long way to go before it takes shape as a city.’

Daein flew through the sky and looked at Pyongyang.

Construction was still in full swing here and there in the city, but some things were different from a few weeks ago.

Vehicles, heavy equipment, and professional personnel sent by the South Korean government could be seen everywhere.

“Seoul Abais! “Have some potatoes!”

“Okay, thank you.”

It was a very awkward and amusing sight to see North and South Korean citizens working together. It was something unimaginable just a month ago.

Three weeks ago, Whitehouse reported the recapture of Pyongyang to the government. And Ri Chol-jun formally requested aid.

President Kim Soo-ho decided to first dispatch relief supplies and personnel to Pyongyang.

Some of the guilds in Seoul also dispatched adepts. Of course, Whitehouse had already taken most of what they wanted.

The great man thought as he looked at the city.

‘It was going to be like this in a few years anyway. It’s a little faster.’

Of course, inter-Korean relations will be much smoother than the future people knew.

At that time, the person who took power in North Korea was Kang Jung-taek, who received protection from China, and the person who took power now is Ri Chol-jun.

“older brother-!”

“manager-!”

At that time, I saw two huge chunks flying from the opposite sky in the distance.

It was Sirutteok turned into a demon and King Guho turned into a rock. Sirutteok was flying, grabbing Wang Guho’s shoulder with its claws.

Both of them were clearly visible because they had been transformed. North Korean citizens who discovered them cheered.

“We are comrades from the Yellow Turban History!”

“Please look here!”

Despite their scary appearance, the two were hugely popular stars in Pyongyang.

Every time a monster appeared, it was defeated with overwhelming power and visuals, so people couldn’t help but like it.

“Wow!”

The cheers of Pyongyang citizens reached the two. They circled in the air, waving their hands shyly to those around them. The shouts got louder.

Seeing the two distracted big men doing this made the man feel even more ashamed of himself.

“…Let’s go down quickly to avoid that set menu.”

However, Daein and Lily also received just as much cheers.

There was no one in Pyongyang who did not know about the WH-7 team.

Refugee rescue. Subdue monsters. Treatment of the injured.

Everyone has received help from them at least once.

“older brother! “We have wiped out all the monsters that seem strong in the west.”

“I also found a new magicite mine.”

The set menu shrugged its shoulders and approached the two people. The great man said that he knew, so he should walk further away.

Because….

“Superhumans. I’m sorry, but could you help me? There aren’t enough people on site over there…”

“Yes? Yes….”

The great man hid in the shadows and quietly ignored the expressions on his face like two cows being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

“Comrade Lily! Do you want to play pebbles together?”

Lily rushed out with the neighborhood kids.

“Come in by dinner time!”

Daein shouted at Lily’s already shrinking figure and entered the newly built government building alone.

North Korean officials who were busy coming and going bowed their heads to Daein. There was no one who could pass by and ignore the person who was close to Lee Cheol-jun.

‘This is the taste of power.’

Daein chuckled and headed to the lodgings next to the government building.

‘With the last white tiger on Mt. Baekdu, I caught all the spirits and found all the mines… I guess I can go back soon.’

At that time, Daein found someone waiting in front of his room. It was a familiar green face.

“Kiri?”

An alien race with broccoli-colored skin looked at the great man and bowed its head.

“This is Siri. Landlord. long time no see!”

He was Kiri’s younger brother, Ciri. In the past, they were a member of the Loro tribe whom Daein saved while resolving the second disaster, and they later regarded Daein as their lifesaver.

In fact, he couldn’t even tell the faces of his older brother and younger brother apart.

“Oh yeah. “Let’s go inside first.”

The great man let Siri into his room. They sat across from each other in the room.

“What’s going on here?”

“I visited with the tribe’s engineers. We decided to connect the inter-city gateway here… didn’t you hear?”

“iced coffee.”

The great man nodded as if he finally remembered.

It was even Daein who first proposed this plan.

“It looks like it’s finally been approved. “Is that why you came here in person to build the gateway?”

“yes. “I also want to meet you, Mr. Master.”

The Rorou tribe was a race that possessed dimensional travel technology.

Gateway technology to move within the Earth was not that great of a technology to them.

“For a short-distance gateway of this distance, it would only take a few days.”

Of course, considering the limit weight that could be moved at once and the magic stones that would be consumed, the gateway could not be used freely.

‘But just connecting the two cities is a hugely meaningful thing.’

In the future, Pyongyang will develop at an alarming rate with help from Seoul.

And Seoul will also change under its influence. Soon, the superhumans of the two cities will share a hunting ground and carry out operations together.

‘That’s how we must recover the entire country and meet races from other dimensions from an advantageous position.’

It has to be that way.

Originally, it would have taken nearly 20 years, but Daein planned to shorten the distance to the future he knew as much as possible.

I know the shortcut, so there’s no need to go back.

But to handle that future, Korea’s superhumans had to become stronger.

‘That way we can minimize side effects.’

Daein asked Siri as if he remembered something.

“How about the dimensional terminal?”

The Lolow tribe shared a lot of technology with the Korean government, but the construction of the dimensional terminal was carried out in extreme secrecy.

Currently, the only people who know about the dimensional terminal are the king of the large Lolow tribe and a few engineers, Abraxas and Lily.

Siri said with a grin.

“I was already going to tell you. I have good news.”

“good news?”

Even as Daein asked that question, he could guess what Siri was going to say.

Because there is only one good news to come out of this.

“We succeeded in connecting the dimensional gate to Wulin.”

As expected, it was as expected.
