I’m not a Regressor

Chapter 290

I am not a returner Episode 290:

Dog and Wolf (15)

“When will we talk about enemies…!”

Riak kicked the attacking Horus in the stomach.

Horus’ body was pushed backwards.

I tried to push Horus even further without letting go of that gap.

“Ugh!”

My clenched fist was shaking.

A dizzying pain ran through my body, as if sharp needles were cutting into the flesh of my body.

‘Is it a restriction of the law?’

He had not yet used the power of stigmata to the extent of being restricted by the law.

then.

[Ha, ha, ha.]

In the distance, Vega could be seen lying on Ojin’s palm, panting heavily.

When Riak took a step towards Vega with a worried expression.

“Where are you looking?”

Horus rushed forward like a thunderbolt and hit Riak’s chin over his shoulder.

Riak’s body, which floated nearly 5 meters, fell into the remains of the broken fountain.

“Didn’t you see how Kalyke died earlier?”

Horus glared at Riak with burning eyes.

Selling one’s mind elsewhere during battle was no different from sticking one’s neck out for death.

Riak, who had been stuck in the fountain, staggered to his feet.

He nodded softly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“I apologize.”

Now is not the time to worry about Vega’s condition.

What he needs to focus on is the enemy in front of him.

They were close friends and comrades-in-arms who had grown up together since childhood.

“Goes.”

Squeeze!

A blue thunderbolt burned between the silver mane.

After Horus and Riak’s gaze crossed in the air.

Quaaaang!

The two wolves kicked their feet without regard for who would go first.

Two wolves running towards each other.

It was Horus who drew his sword first.

“Hmph!”

His fingernails, which had grown long like blades, were cut diagonally.

Black aura covered the nails and burned like fire.

Riak stamped his feet with the same momentum as he had lunged forward.

The surrounding ground caved in and Riak’s body rose high.

“Where!”

Horus raised his head and stamped his feet as he traced Riak’s location.

I brought my claws together and lashed out at Riak, who was floating in the air, as if stabbing a spear.

Puzzle!

Riak twisted his body in the air by stepping on the thunderbolt and clenched his fists to avoid Horus’ claws.

A lightning-blazing fist struck Horus in the solar plexus.

“Wow!”

Coo!

Horus fell like a meteorite.

He looked up at Riak, who created a platform for lightning in the air and changed direction at will, and laughed.

“When did you learn those skills?”

“A hundred years is a long time.”

It’s true that I locked myself up against the wall.

However, that didn’t mean we were just sitting there playing and eating.

“indeed.”

Horus nodded and chuckled.

“As you said, a hundred years is a very long time.”

His black mane stood stiffly and his body crouched low.

A posture with all four feet on the ground.

A red light appeared in Horus’s eyes like a will-o’-the-wisp burning in the dark night.

“Krrrrrrr!”

Horus turned his red eyes towards Riak and let out a low cry.

Is this what it would feel like to enter a cage of hungry wolves?

Just looking at it was so dense that it took my breath away, swallowing up the surroundings like a swamp.

“…that.”

Riak’s expression hardened.

Berserk.

It seemed like the beast power inherent within the beastmen had been raised to the limit.

In order to enter the wild state, several conditions were necessary.

One is that the blood of the animal must be thick enough to use berserk.

Among the beastmen, only purebloods with the darkest animal blood could use it.

The two have enough stamina to withstand the berserk state.

For most beastmen, the moment they go berserk, their entire body’s blood boils and they die instantly.

The last three will have a full moon in the night sky.

Berserking could only be used under the full moon, when the animal’s blood was at its strongest.

but.

“How on earth did you use berserk fire in broad daylight?”

It was bright daylight, with not even a sunset yet, let alone a full moon.

Even if the first and second conditions are met, Berserk cannot be used.

Horus used some kind of magic in broad daylight when the sun was shining.

“Didn’t you tell me? “A hundred years is a very long time.”

He even maintained his senses to the point where he was able to have a normal conversation while using Berserker.

“Hehehe. Right.”

Riak swallowed hard and clenched his fists.

I watched Horus’ movements with nervous eyes.

The eerie red eyes, burning like a will-o’-the-wisp, waved back and forth.

Coo!

A sudden sharp pain runs through my body.

It is no exaggeration to call it a brief moment.

Horus disappeared like a ghost and appeared in front of Riak.

“Ugh!”

Embarrassed, Riak urgently raised his arms and covered his face.

A defense that is close to instinct rather than a movement based on sight and reaction.

The fist of Horus hits the forearm.

Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The ground Riak was stepping on was deeply dug out as if it had been dug up by an excavator, and he was pushed back.

“Krrrrr!”

The attack did not end with just one attack.

Horus moved at a speed so fast that the eye couldn’t even follow him, and swung his fist at Riak.

The power and speed are incomparable to before using Berserker.

Riak’s entire body was in tatters as his fists swung non-stop and he was thrown back.

“Cough!”

His internal organs must have been turned to mush, and a handful of dark red blood poured out.

“It’s not a big deal for shouting out loud, Riak.”

Horus’ red eyes looked down at Riak.

“….”

Riak wiped away the blood and stood up.

I clenched my fists and tried to remain silent.

“Ugh!”

Pajik Pajijik!

Blue sparks flew out and Riak’s body swayed.

The restrictions of the law that bound the constellations began to exert their influence in earnest.

“…What’s going on?”

Horus also seemed to have noticed that Riak’s condition was not normal, and looked at him with frowned eyes.

“Nothing… Ugh! “Kaaaa!”

Riak knelt down on one knee and crouched.

A pain so distant and unimaginable wracked my entire body.

As if threatening to leave him alone if he moves even a single footstep.

“That’s it, Riak.”

Ojin approached Riak, who was crouching.

I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back slightly.

Riak shook his shoulder and glared sharply at Ojin.

“What are you doing, kid?”

“The restrictions of the law have begun, right?”

“That…”

“I’ll finish it.”

Ojin looked at Horus and grabbed his spear.

It may be difficult to fight Horus head-on now that the blessing’s duration is over.

“Mr. Ojin!”

“Ojina! “I’ve cleared out all the people in the village!”

Just then, Isabella and Ha-eun, who had sorted out the situation in the village, arrived.

If the three join forces, they will be able to easily deal with even a berserk Horus.

“You’ve endured enough.”

It is said that the Holy Spirit is less restricted by the law than the Holy See.

That meant receiving less, not not receiving anything at all.

If he uses more power than this, the restrictions of the law will tear Riak to pieces.

“…You said you endured enough?”

but.

Riak laughed and stood up.

“Stop talking nonsense, kid.”

He gritted his teeth and took a step toward Horus.

Just by taking one step, I felt a sharp pain as if my whole body was being cut with a knife.

“This is a fight between wolves.”

I couldn’t let anyone interfere.

Even if the object is the rules of the world created by the transcendent.

It’s a joke!

The blue thunderbolt that had lost its luster burned fiercely again, as if oil had been poured on it.

Riak’s body began to crack like broken glass.

Blood flowed out from between the gaping flesh.

“Hey hey! “What’s wrong with your body?”

Ha-eun shouted with a shocked expression.

It looked as if the window had been hit with a hammer.

The body was cracked like a spider web, and it felt like it would shatter into pieces if I even touched it wrongly.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu me us me ou…?

As the strength of the stigmata increases, the pain doubles.

Riak chewed his lip and took another step forward.

Ojin looked at Riak’s back as he walked away with a stiff expression.

“Riak….”

“You did that, kid.”

Riak turned his head and grinned.

“Nothing can be solved by enduring it.”

If pain is the price.

I’ll take whatever it takes.

Just like you did.

“Seueueueueueu.”

Riak took a deep breath and raised his head.

An illusion of a ‘wall’ appeared before his eyes.

A wall that has not been overcome for a hundred years.

The shackles of fear that bound me.

“Hehehe!”

Laughter burst out inadvertently.

It was a high wall that seemed impossible to overcome.

Looking back now, I couldn’t believe it looked this poor.

“Was it only this much?”

Clench your fists.

Blazing blue thunderbolt.

The stigmata engraved on his left chest shone brightly like a star.

A terrible pain followed him as if threatening him.

It’s as if they dare think of crossing the ‘wall’.

“It’s not over.”

As the restrictions of the law became stronger, the flesh broke like cubes and fell down.

The pain that felt like my head was burning white burned my reason.

“At best! “This much!”

Coo!

It stamps its feet roughly and roars.

It’s okay to break.

It doesn’t matter if it collapses.

“Do you think you can tie up this Riak Khan!!!”

I swing my fist at the wall in front of me.

Damn.

The wall that had imprisoned him for a hundred years cracked and began to collapse.

And beyond that wall.

“Hehe! “You are as ignorant as ever!”

Horus was looking at him with a bright smile.

“Horusuuuuuu!!”

“Liakuuu!”

Two wolves run away.

Kuguguguguguguggung!!

The ground shook and the castle, which was tens of meters high, began to collapse.

The bodies of the two wolves, running towards each other in a straight line, intersected.

and.

“Cool luck!”

Horus with a basketball-sized hole in his chest.

Riak’s fist was sticking out of his back.

“Hehehe!”

Horus burst into laughter as his fist pierced his chest.

“It was a wonderful… hit, Riak.”

“It’s about finding form.”

Cough.

Blood poured from Riak’s mouth.

Horus smiled slightly and placed his hand on Riak’s arm, which had pierced his chest.

“Born as a wolf… “I lived like a dog.”

A voice full of regret and guilt.

“But thanks to you.”

A bright smile appeared on Horus’s lips.

“But at least at the end… I can die as a wolf.”

Thank you, Riak.

With a final murmur.

Horus’s eyes, which had been burning red, lost their shine.

Slurp.

Horus’ body collapsed.

“…Rest.”

Riak closed his old friend’s eyes that had lost their light with his hands.

With my back straight, I clenched my fist and struck my left chest three times.

thud.

thud.

thud.
