Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[(Side story) Just wait there]

“We finally met. .”

The prophet walked toward Sosinhan with a languid smile.

gulp.

Soshinhan swallowed dryly and endured his gaze.

‘It looks just like the boss… but the atmosphere is completely different.’

Daein usually walked around with a bothersome expression on his face, but in reality, he was a kind person who took care of everyone around him.

However, the feeling given by the prophet in front of me was the complete opposite.

Soft eyes and languid smile.

But

‘what kind of look in your eyes…’

is deep.

It’s not glaring, it’s just staring, but it’s deep and dark, as if you’re going to be sucked in.

The prophet was thinner than the great man.

As his unkempt bangs obscured his vision, he ran his hand up his hair.

There was still blood on his hands.

“You said you wanted to meet me?”

A soft voice that makes it difficult to believe that this is the person dismantling a living sacrifice in front of thousands of fanatics.

It was a devilish voice that made me want to tell all the secrets hidden deepest in my heart.

Fortunately, Soshinhan had built up enough resistance to this type of magical power.

-thud!

Sosinhan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at the prophet and said.

“It is an honor to meet the prophet.”

“Little lamb.”

The prophet’s hand stretched out from the hem of his loose robe and touched Sosinhan’s right shoulder.

At that moment, Soshinhan felt the hair on his entire body stand on end.

This man… is dangerous.

“Do you know who I am?”

“He is a prophet. He is the one who will lead us to him.”

An Jun, who was kneeling next to him, was impressed by So Shin-han’s acting.

Even though he had told him in advance, Sosinhan’s eyes and trembling voice were those of someone who was completely immersed in religion.

The Prophet did not seem to doubt them either.

Eat.

The prophet laughed and said:

“There is something you must do for His resurrection. “Can you do it?”

“yes! It is an honour!”

They both responded simultaneously and the Prophet smiled with satisfaction.

Behind him, a gigantic being inside the Demon Tree was seen writhing.

“I will baptize you.”

At those words, the priest next to him widened his eyes in more surprise than the actual person.

“yes? “The Prophet himself?”

Baptism by the prophet himself was a privilege given only to Red Finger’s priests or the best warriors.

‘The Prophet himself?’

An Jun also widened his eyes in surprise.

There were only a small number of believers who were baptized by priests.

It can be said that the sacrifices used in the purification ritual seen earlier are those who have not been baptized, and the true believers are those who have been baptized.

‘Does that mean you thought highly of Soshinhan’s talent? ‘Is this your first time seeing you?’

Baptized believers reach their full potential and develop other characteristics depending on their talents.

Anjun’s [Mystic Eyes] was also an ability obtained in that way.

Even though he had already decided to betray the organization, Anjun felt secretly jealous.

“Isn’t this the sword that will be used for him? So I have to forge it myself.”

The prophet lifted the hand that had been placed on Sosinhan’s shoulder and placed it on his head.

“Relax.”

Tsutsutsutsu….

The magical power that flowed from the prophet’s hand penetrated into Sosinhan’s body.

gulp.

Sosinhan was nervous about the intrusion of foreign magical power.

‘You have to stay alert here.’

The baptism process itself was simple.

By implanting the practitioner’s magic power into the believer’s body, it strengthens brainwashing and stimulates latent abilities to help them bloom.

In the process, the subject is repeatedly instilled with loyalty to Red Finger through drugs and spells.

It was originally a long process that took several hours, but the prophet omitted most of it.

This was because Sosinhan had already scored enough points with the priest.

‘If I can endure this… I can take a closer look inside Redfinger.’

It was then. In Sosinhan’s Danjeon, Pacheonshingong moved freely and rebelled against the prophet’s magic power.

-Crack!

“!!”

Soshinhan, who was startled, suppressed his energy. The energy of Pacheonshingong, which had briefly rebelled, immediately returned to Danjeon.

‘What if I think it’s strange?’

Soshinhan, who was nervous, looked at the prophet, but the prophet just quietly closed his eyes.

After a while, the prophet opened his eyes and took his hand off Sosinhan’s head.

“…….”

After he stood silently for a while, the priest next to him asked cautiously.

“Prophet. Anything…”

“It’s nothing. In this way you have become his child.”

The prophet shook his head, blessed Sosinhan with a short prayer, and then told him to leave.

However, the prophet’s expression as he looked at Sosinhan was subtle.

He looked like he had something to say, but then he shook his head slightly and said.

“…the priest will tell you what you must do.”

“yes!”

After the priest took the two outside, the prophet’s listless expression became distorted with pain.

“Ugh…!”

He held his head with both hands.

Strong!

My head hurt like it was going to explode.

“Why all of a sudden…”

The Prophet gritted his teeth in terrible pain. He walked unsteadily towards the magic tree.

“Ugh….”

The prophet couldn’t remember anything other than that he was a prophet.

Who you are.

Where it came from.

Who is the sad, crying child who sometimes appears blurry in my dreams?

However, as I came into contact with the Breaking Heavenly Art that Soshinhan had just learned, a small crack appeared in my now blank memory.

But the crack slowly disappeared along with the headache.

– Wow!

Gritting his teeth, the prophet looked up at the Demon Tree with bloodshot, red eyes.

“Do you know everything?”

-Wiggle.

The being inside the red egg in the center of the Demon Tree wriggled.

That being was the ‘him’ for whom Red Finger’s believers were awaiting resurrection.

It resembles a fetus, but its shape is not yet complete.

However, two heads were looking straight down at the Prophet.

“You’ll have to tell me the answer.”

The prophet gritted his teeth and glared at ‘him’.

It was a very blasphemous attitude to look at the god he served.

“Otherwise I will regret resurrecting you.”

-Whisk!

The prophet turned around and went outside.

After the prophet left, the being inside the egg, which had been silent, slowly moved.

Surprisingly, the two heads faced each other and had a conversation.

[[He has shown hostility towards us.]]

[[I don’t understand. He must absolutely obey our orders.]]

[[Something has changed him.]]

[[Has the seal weakened? Is it because of administrator tracking? Is it because our resurrection is near?]] [

[I don’t know. The problem is that his condition is not serious.]]

[[We need to hurry up with the plan.]]

They were once called Baal and Soul Eater.

***

While Sosinhan met the prophet and was baptized, other believers brought from WHA also received baptism from the priests.

“There is so much power in my body!”

“This is the power He gave us…”

They became more loyal believers after their baptism.

Redfinger’s baptism had the effect of drawing out the potential of the recipient and further strengthening brainwashing.

But for some it didn’t work.

‘I can’t feel anything.’

After the hellish training of the past few weeks, Sosinhan’s potential had almost been fully developed.

Or, like An Jun, there are cases where the second characteristic blooms, but there was no sign of that.

“I will tell you what to do.”

The priest gathered the believers brought by Anjun and spoke.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Take WHA down in Seoul.”

“!!”

WHA was a facility created by remodeling the Devil’s Castle.

If an island the size of Yeouido were to fall on a city, the damage would be unimaginable.

‘This is crazy…’ So

Shinhan didn’t show any emotion on the outside, but inside he was seething with anger.

The priest continued.

“We will help from the outside. “If we deliberately reveal our traces and bring out the heroes, then you can move.”

“Infiltrate WHA, take control of the central control room, and use it to hack the program.”

The priest smiled evilly as he handed over the hacking tool to An Jun.

“You must get out through the gate before the island falls in the middle of Seoul.”

“…yes.”

An Jun accepted the hacking tool with trembling hands. He held the priest’s hand and glared at him with angry eyes.

“Keep in mind. This is a temple. The opponents are non-believers.”

‘It must be a crazy terrorist attack.’

It was a terrorist attack that went beyond the two people’s imagination.

At most, they thought they would carry out a massacre from within or plant a bomb.

But a terrorist attack that dropped a structure that was almost like an island in the middle of Seoul.

The priest patted An Jun on the shoulder and said,

“Now go back to WHA and wait for orders.”

“yes? Already? “The idea of staying a little longer and teaching these friends the doctrine is…”

An Jun asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

The Red Finger headquarters changes location periodically.

This is possible because it is a subspace, not a fixed space in one world.

In other words, this meant that the location of the headquarters might change after they returned.

‘We need to take more time.’

‘I can’t go back now.’

An Jun and Su Xinhan’s eyes secretly met.

But the priest was adamant.

“It would have been the same under normal circumstances, but the tracking of the dimensional hub has become more severe recently, so there is nothing we can do. Go back and wait for a call. And…”

The priest could not finish what he wanted to say.

-Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

A vibration that shakes the entire subspace.

The priest, who almost fell due to the sudden earthquake, managed to keep his balance and looked around.

“What is this?”

Redfinger’s headquarters is a city made of subspace.

An earthquake was something that couldn’t have happened.

At that time, a very familiar voice rang out from far beyond subspace.

– Cubs. The barrier has been set very firmly. –

‘Boss?!’

While Soshinhan widened his eyes in surprise, the great man’s voice was heard again.

-iced coffee. Microphone test. One, two, three. This sounds good, right?-

-Redfinger. You are surrounded. You bastards. –

The believers of the main church came rushing out of the building.

They looked up at the sky or looked around with astonished expressions.

-Kugugugugugugung…!

As the vibration shaking the entire subspace became stronger, the voice became clearer.

I felt like the distance between me and the other person was getting closer.

-Everyone, drop your weapons and surrender meekly. Then there will be no bloodshed… –

The great man changed his words midway through.

-no. Just resist. Looks like you guys are going to have to go through some bloodshed. –

– So, repeat it over and over again. You pseudo bastards.-

“It’s an enemy attack!”

“Prepare for the temple!”

The priests, realizing the seriousness of the situation, shouted to the believers.

Red Finger’s warriors took out their weapons and were busy taking out war weapons.

“How did this happen… I wonder if they got caught!”

The priest, who was embarrassed, turned to An Jun and shouted.

An Jun shook his head desperately, breaking into a cold sweat.

“We don’t know. “I don’t know how this happened…”

“If it weren’t for you, how could this place have been discovered!”

The angry priest strode towards An Jun.

His red-stained hand flew towards An Jun’s neck.

-Ujijik!

A body with a broken neck was lying on the floor.

But it was not Anjun, but a priest.

“Krrr….”

Soshinhan, who had transformed into a werewolf, looked at the priest’s corpse with a cold gaze.

“You…”

“You killed the priest! “What are you doing!”

Ignoring the other believers who looked embarrassed, Su Xinhan spoke to An Jun.

“Wake. “The fight has already begun.”

“…shit.”

Su Xinhan moved quickly and overpowered the WHA students, and An Jun also came to his senses and helped him.

“You traitors!”

“You were planning on doing this from the beginning!”

The students who were overpowered screamed loudly, but they were soon overpowered and collapsed.

But the fight had only just begun.

“There are traitors over there!”

“They brought the enemy!”

Some of Red Finger’s warriors rushed towards Su Xinhan and An Jun. They looked at the enemies coming from behind.

Anjun asked with a trembling voice.

“We… won’t die here, right?”

“Don’t be so lucky.”

***

“…….”

The prophet raised his head and looked up at the sky.

His eyes were focused on exactly one point.

-Kugugugugugugung!

The sky of subspace trembles as if it will break.

An unfamiliar yet familiar voice was coming from there.

-So, if you say it, repeat it again. You pseudo-bastards.-

His voice paused for a moment and then he spoke in a tone that made it seem as if he was looking directly at himself.

With a little sigh.

-Especially you, the prophet. Don’t run away, just wait there.-

At that moment, a strange smile appeared on the prophet’s lips.
