Absolute Regression

Chapter 109

Episode 109 Is that you?

Extreme Soma is asking what our relationship is like.

Finally, the concept of relationship emerged in his human relationships.

I went to him, looked down at the line I had drawn, picked up a fallen tree branch next to me, and drew the line.

The line was drawn far below the line that promised to save people’s lives.

“It’s about here.”

“I guess I didn’t go as far as I thought.”

“Even though we have been going through a lot after leaving the church, I feel that my relationship with Soma remains in place. The reason we went this far is because we had food and drinks together today. “It was the first time we ate and drank together.”

“Did you get this far by eating and drinking? So what do I have to do to get here?”

“In this period, you have to accumulate a lot of experiences and memories to be able to move on. And if we’re going to get this far… shouldn’t we at least save each other’s lives?”

“Isn’t the score too low?”

“The scores are not cheap. Soma is too stubborn to accept other people’s feelings.”

As if he didn’t want to talk anymore, Soma lay down.

“It’s all useless. “I’m just a stranger.”

I emptied the rest of my drink while looking at his stubbornly turned back.

Soma, everyone is not like this because they are unaware of its transience. Still, it’s a path that must be taken. I live by holding back my temper.

I half laid back and looked up at the sky.

The evil soma that was lying down glanced at me and then looked up together. The countless stars that filled the night sky were shining equally for everyone, even the evil people who thought they were useless and the people who persistently pretended to be good.

Extreme Soma, who had been staring at the stars in silence for a while, suddenly spoke.

“You’ll have to have a fight with me.”

At times like this, I feel sad.

Even under this good starlight, the bloody wind blowing in his heart will never stop.

“Of course. Someday.”

* * *

We were in no hurry the next day either.

Because I had to wait along the promised route until Ian and Cheongmyeon, who had gone to find out the hideout of the Black Slayer, returned.

It was Tongcheon Pavilion, which had the greatest information power in the central plains, so if you made up your mind to find out, you would definitely find out.

On the third night after going out on the road together with Soma, the God of Heavenly Demon Defense woke me up from my sleep.

We felt someone approaching us from all directions. Judging by their secretive movements, they were assassins.

I slowly got up and drank water from the bamboo bucket placed next to the campfire.

When I got up, Extreme Soma spoke while lying down.

“also. “When the enemies come, they wake up like ghosts.”

“Soma-sama woke up first, right?”

“I wasn’t sleeping.”

Come to think of it, Extreme Soma couldn’t sleep well at night. Most of the evil people I experienced slept well with their legs stretched out, but Extreme Soma was a wicked person who had trouble sleeping.

When we woke up and started talking, the approaching assassins stopped moving but did not retreat either. It seems like an order was given to kill us unconditionally.

Extreme Soma stood up from his seat.

“I will handle it.”

His voice was slightly flushed, perhaps because he was excited at the thought of seeing blood.

“Are you okay in the dark?”

“It’s rather good.”

Extreme Soma walked into the darkness.

The sound of blood coming out was heard from where he walked.

Peeing!

At the end of that cheerful sound, I heard the sound of flesh being pierced.

Phew!

With that, a full-scale fight began.

The sound of a magic bullet and bloodshot being released was heard one after another.

Memories were fired from all directions towards the place where the evil Soma was.

Dozens of memorized words split the night air.

It was possible to tell whether the Extreme Soma was alive or not by the sound of blood and the Demonic Explosive Field being emitted.

The sound came from the left and then from the right. Every time, an unmistakable scream followed.

I sat and imagined how the Extreme Somas were fighting just by sound.

Thanks to my new eyesight technique, I could see, but I closed my eyes and imagined the movements of him and the assassins just by the sounds I heard.

Even the assassins were not normal. They were as skilled as the assassins who had secretly attacked us in front of the gambling house earlier.

The sound of a dagger cutting through the air, the sound of memorization flying between trees, the sound of flesh being torn and bones being crushed.

All kinds of sounds filled the darkness. I closed my eyes and continued to imagine only the sound.

How would you move if it were me, and how would you move if it were Extreme Soma? If I were a lifer, how would I move?

I was also running around in the dark. I was on the side of the evil Soma, and I was also on the side of the murderers. When I sided with the shooters and attacked him, I anticipated how he would move.

Meanwhile, the assassins were dying.

The darkness that was always on the assassins’ side betrayed them.

Today the darkness was on the side of Extreme Evil Soma.

Peeing!

When I instinctively turned my head to the side, blood ran past my ear.

A scream erupted from where the blood vessel flew.

There was no need to attack like this, but it was clear that they came this way to test me. It was an attack that would have blown off my ears if I hadn’t avoided it. With a nasty temper.

Then, an urgent spray of water fell in front of me.

“Did you come to escape from me? Or have you come to kill me too?”

Maybe he didn’t know it himself.

“die!”

A spray of water rushed towards me.

How could the darkness be on the side of Extreme Evil Soma? The real owner of this darkness must be me.

Shukak!

The attacking assassin’s chest was torn off to the bone and he fell. I closed his wide-open, dead eyes.

The screams coming from all directions gradually decreased, and eventually silence came.

After a while, Extreme Soma returned to where I was.

I offered him a drink.

Instead of drinking alcohol, Extreme Soma gulped down water from a bamboo container. He now had no qualms about drinking something with his mask up. The heat I felt wasn’t just because of the smell of blood coming from his body. He still didn’t have enough blood.

“This time it was as if they had come to commit suicide.”

I corrected Extreme Soma’s words.

“It wasn’t suicide, they were murdered.”

“Killed? “To me?”

“no. From his own leader. No matter how big the money, a million nyang, is, the moment they accept the contract to kill Mazon, they must prepare to be annihilated in the end. If you succeed in killing Soma-sama, you will be punished by Soma-sama if you fail. But why would you accept the contract?”

“Have you been threatened?”

“I think it’s the opposite. This means that not only money but also other things were guaranteed to the person behind the Apostolic Alliance who contracted this matter. He was probably promised a key position within the Apostolic Alliance.”

Extreme Soma nodded, agreeing with what I said.

“Is that why today’s unreasonable attack is happening?”

“yes. Heuksalju is currently reorganizing its organization. The goal is to eliminate all assassins who know their faces so that no one can recognize them. This is how he throws away the assassins who have made him money and been loyal to him for a long time. And he will live with a new identity.”

“You’re more of a villain than me? “This feels really bad.”

“With this choice, I went from being a villain to being trash.”

“Gongja Lee saw all of this at a glance.”

I felt a little sorry for him. I know this because I have already experienced it, but how could I know the background of this at once?

“Gong Lee, when you become the Heavenly Demon, please be sure to save me.”

Extreme Soma said it as if it were a joke, but I know that this is a moment when I need to be nervous.

He must have thought this for a moment.

If it’s an opponent like this, shouldn’t we kill him first before he becomes the Heavenly Demon?

That’s right, Soma. If I am your enemy, then of course you must kill me first. To prevent that situation, I am going on this journey together.

I spoke in a confident voice.

“Let’s work together to get to the survival ship.”

When we called the line we drew the survival line, Extreme Soma laughed out loud as if it was funny.

“The smell of blood is strong. “Now, why don’t you leave?”

“Isn’t it a better smell than women’s anger?”

“Not for me.”

Just as we were packing up to leave, Ian and Cheongmyeon arrived. Ian was surprised to see corpses lying around, but was relieved to see that I was fine.

“We found the Black Slayer’s hideout in Tongcheon Pavilion.”

Cheongmyeon showed us a piece of paper with the location written on it. It was not that far from here.

If he had found out even a little later than now, the black assassin would have hid in the arms of the person behind the Apostle League.

However, if the assassination has just failed, there is a possibility that he may not have left his hiding place yet. You’d never dream that we would find out their identity and find their hiding place so quickly.

“Let’s have a proper light attack match this time.”

Without listening to my answer, Extreme Soma attacked first.

“This time it starts with me.”

Cheongmyeon was surprised to see his back flying away first. Normally, he would give in leisurely and let me go first, but I was surprised to see him running towards me and even committing foul play. What’s more surprising is my leisure.

I even exchanged greetings with Ian.

“Did you have a good time?”

“yes. I was very busy. Went back and forth here and there. “I learned a lot this time.”

She looked at Cheongmyeon and bowed her head again. Cheongmyeon also greeted politely. I felt that their relationship was progressing little by little.

“But is it okay if you don’t go? “It looks like you’re having a light attack competition.”

“I have to go.”

Because I have to win again and make fun of them.

“You two, pack your bags and follow me slowly.”

In a flash, my new model disappeared from there in an instant.

* * *

Heuksalju was burning everything he owned in an unattended yard.

All confidential documents, clothes, and items related to the contract. He burned everything related to him.

All assassins who knew their faces were dead. No, he killed them all.

Now you can leave with peace of mind. Everyone has stopped pointing fingers and is now living an honest life in front of others. You will enjoy wealth and fame in broad daylight. Now is the beginning of a new life.

As he was about to leave the retreat, he inadvertently looked at the wall and was startled.

Someone wearing a white mask was sitting on the wall. What surprised me was that I didn’t know how long he had been here.

“Extreme Soma?”

His voice trembled. If it was a very evil soma, he would be dead.

“no. “I am the winner of the fight.”

The person who wore the mask over his head and smiled was none other than Geommugeuk.

Although he didn’t know what he was talking about, Heuksalju was internally relieved that at least the other person was a young man.

Geommugeuk told him.

“You could have just left.”

“what are you talking about?”

“If I wanted a fresh start, I wouldn’t have done this. He could have just left the black assassin organization to a trustworthy successor and used his skills to go anywhere and live. Even if it’s not that million, you’ve made a lot of money so far, right?”

When I accurately guessed his situation, Heuksalju was startled.

“Why are the assassins so diligent that they would reveal the secrets of the old leader who wants to start anew? Everyone must be busy with their own lives.”

Geommugeuk sensed a secret assassination from Heuksalju. He realized that he was trying to ambush him, but he pretended not to notice and continued talking.

“But you didn’t do that. If you closed your eyes, you would have pictured your subordinates betraying you. I can’t live because I’m anxious. Do you know why that is? Because you are that kind of person. “If it were you, you would have tried to take it all by threatening or killing your leader.”

Heuksalju was obediently listening to the story, but his mind was on his sleeve. The moment the wind wheel, a German memorization device hidden in his sleeve, slipped down and was placed in his hand, Heuksalju smiled in remorse. At this distance, it’s a fatal shot.

“Is the bullshit over?”

“I’m done, be careful. “I’m very angry right now because I lost the game.”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

The very moment when the black assassin was about to fly the wind wheel!

Peeing! Pow!

The earth wind that flew like light pierced through Black Slayer’s shoulder. It was so fast that I couldn’t avoid it.

Immediately after, someone flew down from the sky and landed with a black arrow.

Boom!

A cruel scream burst from the mouth of the Black Slayer.

“Aaaahhh!”

The person who stepped on Black Slayer’s gaping shoulder was none other than Extreme Soma.

Instead of performing sword dance, he vented his anger in an unexpected place. There were holes in the walls all around him.

“Why on earth is it so fast! why!”

The trampled shoulder was so painful that only a scream came out of Black Slayer’s mouth. I was overwhelmed by the opponent’s momentum, so instead of counterattacking, I ended up pleading.

“Ugh! it hurts! please! It hurts! Argh!”

Only then did the cold gaze behind the white mask look down at the Black Slayer.

“Is it you? The guy who goes around doing more villainous things than me?”
