I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 339:

Black Sky (3)

Time passed quickly.

Ojin and his party, who sent Riak to the Khan Kingdom and returned to the Dragonian Kingdom, quickly began preparing for war.

Niflheim Kingdom.

There were some Yongin people who expressed their opposition to Ohjin’s words about attacking the main camp of the Majin people, saying that it was nonsense, but when Haeun came forward, they raised their weapons as if they had never opposed anything before.

Since there was no separate means of contact with Riak, I was worried about whether I would be able to arrive on time while preparing for war, but fortunately, the beastman warriors were able to join the main force in time.

A month passed by, one day before the ceremony to unseal the Heavenly Demon was held in Niflheim.

Ojin was undergoing final maintenance ahead of the final battle.

“Write it. Phew.”

Take a deep breath and repeat.

I felt the magical power of the stigmata flowing from my heart and spreading throughout my body.

A tsunami of magic so distant that one wonders if it will ever end.

The magic power absorbed through the Black Heaven had now reached an enormous amount comparable to the ‘Fountain of the Milky Way’ seen in the sanctuary.

‘Of course, it only has a large amount, but the magic power it can handle is limited.’

As the stigmata of Lyra became 9 stars, the area of the magic circuit was greatly expanded.

It was not enough to use all the endless magic power sleeping within Ojin.

It’s similar to how you can’t empty the seawater no matter how thick a hose you bring.

‘Still, with the tenth flowering of Black Heaven, the quality of magical power itself has improved significantly.’

Previously, the quantity was ignorant, but with the tenth flowering of the Black Heaven, the quality of magical power increased significantly.

Even with the same amount of magical power, greater power could be produced, so there was no better news than this in a situation where an important battle was about to happen.

“…ha.”

No matter how strong I became, every time I thought about the final battle tomorrow, I felt frustrated, as if a heavy stone had been placed on my chest.

‘If you fail this time, the seal of the Heavenly Demon will be released.’

I still didn’t know what the Heavenly Demon’s purpose was.

But what was certain was that if his seal were to be released, Ojin would never be able to handle it.

‘We have to stop it.’

Whatever it takes.

Oh Jin chewed his lips with a nervous expression.

[Were you here?]

A beautiful voice like jade beads rolling around.

When I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, I saw Vega flying through the air.

“huh. How are you feeling, Vega?”

[Uhm. The restrictions have not completely disappeared yet, but it seems that it is okay to manifest in a artificial body.]

Vega was trapped in the sanctuary for a while without being able to manifest in return for giving Ojin a blessing in the last battle with Deimos.

It was only a week ago that I was able to reappear, albeit in a prosthetic form.

It was also a forced manifestation while the restrictions had not yet been completely lifted.

“If it’s really hard, you can skip it this time…”

[How could that be?]

Vega shook her head with a stern expression.

It is true that the restrictions of the law have not completely disappeared yet, but in such a critical situation where the seal of the Heavenly Demon could be released, we could not use the restrictions as an excuse to hide ourselves.

“thank you.”

Ohjin nodded with a faint smile.

They said it was okay if Vega was left out, but in reality, Ojin would be in trouble if Vega was left out.

Even if it wasn’t necessarily a blessing, Vega’s presence was a great help.

“What about you and Bella?”

[They both fell asleep early.]

“Really?”

Since awakened people are essentially human, sleep was important.

Sufficient sleep not only keeps your body but also your mind in optimal condition.

[By the way, I heard about this plan from Bella… Didn’t I entrust you with a too dangerous role?]

Vega looked at Ojin as if he was worried.

It goes without saying that Ojin and his party, who were overwhelmingly underpowered compared to the Demons, could not choose an all-out war.

However, time was too short to devise a complex tactical strategy.

There was only time for joint training in preparation for war once.

‘Different races are also a big problem.’

Since there had been no exchanges between the dragon race and the beast race, the relationship between the two races was so awkward that it was breathtaking just to look at it from the side.

Even though the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

To put it bluntly, would you be able to fight comfortably, leaving your back to a stranger you’ve known for less than two weeks?

An extremely simple tactic was needed to allow entry into the Kingdom of Niflheim with minimal damage.

The plan that was created that way.

[How can you sneak into the kingdom alone!]

Vega climbed on top of Ojin’s head and pulled his hair as if he was frustrated.

“Ahhh. “It hurts, it hurts.”

[You deserve to be scolded even more!] Vega

scolds Ojin with a stern expression, like a mother admonishing an immature child.

Although he was verbally saying that he should be scolded more, the force pulling his hair was gradually weakening.

[ha. Why do you always upset my wife like this?]

“I’m sorry.”

Ojin raised his hand above his head and placed Vega on his palm.

Vega, with a sulky expression, was seen snorting and turning his head.

“But this was the only way.”

[But what will you do after you sneak into the kingdom alone? Even if you’re lucky and don’t get caught, others…]

“I have a way to think about it.”

He raised the corners of his mouth and made a confident expression.

[Whoa. I will trust you.]

Vega shook her head as if she couldn’t stop him and let out a deep sigh.

[Then you too, go to bed early today. Don’t you have a lot to do tomorrow?]

“Just a little more.”

I was planning to take a break from training today and take a good rest.

I couldn’t sleep at all thinking about what would happen tomorrow.

‘If I move my body a little, I’ll fall asleep.’

When I thought like that and tried to continue my training.

[…My child.]

Vega carefully flew up and placed her hand on Ojin’s cheek.

The feel of soft skin against your fingertips.

Vega looked sad as she smoothed her cheeks, which had become as rough as a dry desert over the past month.

Even though he has the superhuman body of a high-ranking awakened person, how harsh a training must he be undergoing to the point where his skin becomes rough like this?

I couldn’t even scold him because I knew why he was pushing himself so hard.

[Don’t worry too much.]

He gently stroked Ojin’s cheek and lightly kissed the bridge of his nose.

[Aren’t you a star in the sky?]

“…Vega.”

Oh Jin’s gaze wavered.

From Vega’s perspective, it was probably something he said to encourage himself.

‘The problem is that I am not a star in the sky.’

A bitter smile spread across his lips.

I looked at the goddess who still firmly believed that she was a ‘returner’.

‘…until when.’

How long can I deceive her?

No, how long will I have to live with deceiving her?

“Vega… what if?”

A sudden urge boiled over.

“What if I…”

My lips are getting dry.

My heart is pounding as if it’s going to burst, and dry saliva flows down my throat.

If I tell you the truth here, how will Vega’s expression change?

As I imagined him, a dizzying fear spread down my spine.

“No, nothing.”

[Hmm? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?]

Vega tilted his head and slapped Ojin on the bridge of his nose.

[Speaking of which, aren’t you curious about the real woman? Go ahead and say it.]

“Even if it’s nothing.”

[Uh huh. How can you pretend that nothing has happened when your expression is so dark?]

Vega put her hands on her hips with a stern expression.

[Is there a secret between you and your wife that you can’t tell? Don’t worry about it and just speak comfortably.]

“….”

When I heard that there were no secrets between the two that couldn’t be told, my heart throbbed as if it had been cut with a sharp blade.

I can not say.

There was no way I could say it.

Because now I’ve told too many lies to tell the truth.

A lie is like a truck falling off a cliff with broken brakes.

Once I started, I couldn’t stop or slow down.

‘Until it hits the floor and shatters.’

The only way is to keep telling more lies.

‘…are you okay.’

I have lived my whole life repeating lies.

I don’t know any other way than to live like that.

therefore.

It will be okay.

It won’t matter.

At least one more lie on top of the mountain of lies.

“What would you think if I told you I wanted to spank Vega’s ass?”

He asked, covering his face with a playful expression.

[What?!]

Vega suddenly flew up with a bright red face.

[You mean here and now? Oh no, more than that, why did I suddenly see the main girl’s butt…]

Vega hesitated, licking his lips and looking around his head.

Vega, who continued to worry, closed her eyes tightly and opened her mouth as if she had made a firm decision.

[I understand. If that’s what you wish…]

“I’m just kidding.” [No joke?]

“I thought you were too worried, so I was joking to lighten the mood.”

[Ugh!]

Vega flapped his hands and feet and slapped Ojin on the bridge of his nose.

[This shameless thing! There is nothing you dare not say in front of the Constellation!]

“Hahaha. sorry.”

Ojin, who was guilty, was gently beaten until her anger was relieved.

[Ha, ha, ha.]

Vega excitedly slapped Ojin on the bridge of his nose and pulled his hair, then turned his head, exhaling heavily.

[She will return to the sanctuary.]

“Are you upset?”

[Ugh…! Isn’t that because you told a strange joke?]

“I said I was sorry.”

Ojin carefully placed Vega on his palm.

“Nothing will happen, Vega.”

okay.

Just like it has been so far.

You will be able to overcome it well.

[…Please don’t get hurt, my child.]

Vega smiled slightly and gently stroked the bridge of his nose that had been slapped just a moment ago.

[Then the main woman will return to the sanctuary. You too, go to bed early.]

Vega’s body was scattered in the air along with a silver light.

“….”

Oh Jin looked blankly at the spot where she disappeared and then slowly turned around.

I climbed up the sharp rock and looked at the kingdom of Niflheim in the distance.

Although it was a kingdom, its shape was not clearly visible.

The Kingdom of Niflheim was shrouded in dark clouds, like a hazy fog covering the Sky Mountains.

“Did I say I’d see you again soon?”

I’m sorry.

“You and I will never meet again.”

Ojin clenched his fists, glaring at the black clouds descending on the kingdom.
