I’m not a Regressor

Chapter 347

I am not a returner Episode 347

Interlude – I am not a returner (2)

Bah!

A harsh punch hit my cheek.

Even though it was probably a place of unconsciousness and not reality, the inside of my mouth was torn and a fishy, bloody smell was spreading.

Ohjin looked up at Cheonma, who was sitting on top of him and pounding his fists like crazy.

‘It’s the opposite of before.’

Even though the inside of my mouth was torn and a sharp pain was spreading, the corners of my mouth went up for some reason.

Just because Cheonma, who was carefree in the world, was so excited, I could tell that his plan had gone completely wrong.

“you! “Do you know what you just did?!”

The Heavenly Demon slams its fist down with a distorted expression.

“I was able to finish it all!”

If only Jiknyeo had absorbed it.

He was able to gain control of the black sky and destroy it.

The long wait that seemed like it would never end was able to come to an end.

however.

however.

however.

“you! “You ruined everything, you bastard!”

Instead of throwing himself into the Black Sky, Vega chose to stop Ojin by giving him a blessing.

It was impossible to extinguish the Black Heaven with just the blessing of the Orknyeo Castle that resided in Ojin.

When will an opportunity like this come again?

No, perhaps this opportunity would never come again.

Even now, his dark heaven was overflowing fiercely and eating away at his soul.

“This was the last time! “It was my last chance!”

Last chance to protect Ha-eun.

The last chance to save her from the coming destruction was blown away.

“Why why why did you say you were not a regressor!”

It screams like a scream.

He held on to the collar of Oh Jin, who had fallen, and let out all the anger he had built up.

“Then… it doesn’t work.”

Tears flowed down the Cheonma’s cheeks.

Despair lingered in his dry, worn-out eyes.

“Others can do that… but you shouldn’t have done that to yourself.”

Even if the life we have lived is different.

Even if the path we took was different.

If it’s the same misdiagnosis.

“You… it had to be me.”

The Cheonma’s hand that was gripping his collar went limp.

My slumped shoulders trembled slightly.

Oh Jin wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and looked up at Cheonma with deeply sunken eyes.

“You had to be me?”

Isn’t that kind of an awkward thing to say?

It is understandable that he was angry about ruining his long-planned plan.

I could understand why he made a hundred concessions and said he would use Vega as a scapegoat to protect Ha-eun.

If you were in his position, you might have had similar thoughts.

but.

‘You had to be me.’

Ojin’s eyes narrowed.

The strange feeling of alienation I felt when I first saw Cheonma.

I once again felt the unpleasant sensation of seeing a mannequin that looked exactly like a human.

“…you.”

It’s distorted somewhere.

Something is twisted.

It’s misaligned and twisted.

A bizarre discomfort, as if encountering a person walking on arms rather than legs.

Ohjin looked into the Cheonma’s trembling eyes and could tell where the discomfort came from.

“under.”

A dry laugh escaped between my lips.

Oh Jin pushed away the Cheonma who was on top of him and stood up.

With cold eyes, I looked down at the Cheonma, who was lowering her head like a doll whose strings had been cut.

“You… were trying to be me.”

Just as parents project their unfulfilled dreams onto their children.

He was projecting onto himself the ideal of a dream that could not come true.

Even if he himself disappears along with the black sky.

With the thought of living with a ‘misdiagnosis’.

“So are you so obsessed with the fact that you and I are the same?”

“….”

“Because I had to be you?”

Only then could he be comforted about his miserable death.

Even if I die.

Because you will be able to live as you.

“…shut up.”

The Cheonma glared at Ojin with a face distorted like a yaksha.

“You… what do you know that makes you talk like that?”

To save Ha-eun, he went against the laws of time and returned to the past.

My mind was eaten away by the crazy Black Heaven, and I lost all my precious memories one by one.

I lived my life holding on to a tiny bit of hope amidst the wear and tear of my memories.

someday.

The hope that I can be with Ha-eun.

“I am I….”

But.

It wasn’t long before I realized it.

That he can protect her only if he dies.

That the existence of the Heavenly Demon is nothing but an obstacle to her happiness.

“If we don’t do that…”

The Heavenly Demon fell to her knees as if she was collapsing.

I lowered my head and clenched my fists.

“…I couldn’t bear it.”

Without projecting yourself onto Ojin.

Unless I think of you as me.

He could not bear the distant despair that was weighing him down.

“….”

Oh Jin looked down at Cheonma, who lowered his head, and closed his mouth tightly.

A bitter taste spread in my mouth.

I didn’t approve of his life, but I could empathize with it.

If I were in his position, I would have thought the same thing.

“It probably started the same way for you and me.”

We do not know whether human nature is innate or changes as we live.

I did not receive higher education or devote myself to studying enough to be able to answer such philosophical questions.

But one thing is certain.

“I won’t live like you anymore.”

I will not follow the same path he took.

To walk the same path.

Because the path I have taken so far has been so different.

“I will not be you.”

He spoke firmly, as if striking with a sword.

“….”

The Heavenly Demon’s shoulders trembled as he lowered his head.

Grumbling.

The black cloud that started in his left chest gradually began to encroach on his entire body.

“…okay?”

The Heavenly Demon slowly raised his lowered head.

His blue eyes, which were like a dry desert, burned fiercely.

“Then we’ll have to change our plans.”

The corners of his mouth twitched and he slowly raised his arms.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A pitch-black flame burned on his hand.

Black flames engulfed Ojin.

“Ugh!”

Ojin quickly rolled over to avoid the flames.

Although it was an unconscious space, not reality, I could feel it instinctively.

‘If you reach it, it goes behind you.’

Either you will be trapped in the space of unconsciousness forever, or you will burn up in this space.

In any case, an intuition crossed my mind that I couldn’t stay alive.

“Hmph!”

Let’s go!

The blue lightning blazed and clashed with the black flame.

“That’s not enough.”

With the Heavenly Demon’s mocking voice, the blue lightning disappeared as if scattered in the air.

“This is crazy…!”

Even though it collided with the thunderbolt, there was not the slightest blemish or hesitation in the black flame.

It was like throwing a ball made of cotton in front of a speeding truck.

“Burn up.”

With a low order.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Black flames began to swirl, burning everywhere.

The flames floated freely in the air like living creatures, attacking Ojin from all directions.

“Ugh!”

Ojin swallowed his sleep and desperately dodged the flying flames.

‘This.’

I chewed my lips as I watched the flames freely flying through the air.

A very familiar sight to Ojin.

“Why do you… have the stigmata of Dragon?”

He quickly rolled over and shouted.

Grumble!

Black flames swept through the place where I was standing just moments ago.

“Well why?”

The Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly and snapped his fingers.

The flames flying wildly through the air suddenly disappeared.

and.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A huge wall of fire rose up around Ojin.

“damn!”

No matter where I looked, there was no place to run to.

‘If Vega’s power doesn’t work!’

A black thunderbolt spewed out from Ojin’s hand with terrifying force.

The thunderbolt that collided with the curtain of fire disappeared so easily that it seemed in vain compared to its force, but it created a very small gap that a person could barely pass through.

“Ugh!”

Oh Jin manages to throw himself into the gap created by the thunderbolt.

While passing through the tent, my whole body was scorched by fire.

I felt terrible pain from my skin, which had been distorted by burns.

“haha!”

Oh Jin took a deep breath and glared at Cheonma.

Although I expected it.

The gap with the Heavenly Demon was so far that it made you laugh.

“Hmm.”

Even though it showed such an overwhelming gap.

The Heavenly Demon frowned and looked at the black flame burning on the palm of his hand, wondering what he was displeased with.

“After all, isn’t it difficult to use your power properly within another person’s unconsciousness?”

The low muttering sent chills down Ojin’s spine.

Is it difficult to use your strength properly?

Just did that?

‘…Damn it.’

I got chills thinking about how much more the gap would widen if the Heavenly Demon used his power properly.

The Cheonma turned towards Ojin and walked slowly.

“Did you tell me earlier that you were trying to become me?”

There is no longer a need for that.

Because Ojin and Cheonma are different.

Because you weren’t me.

“You have become so precious.”

Even though I can end everything.

The reason Ojin revealed the truth to Vega was because Vega was a precious person to him.

It’s not just Vega.

“Riak and Cassia… did you say Isabella again?”

under.

A cold mockery flowed from between the Heavenly Demon’s lips.

“Is this guy who couldn’t properly protect even one person… being greedy?”

I glared at Ojin with burning eyes.

“The reason you can be with your sister now is all because I helped you.”

If you hadn’t sent Lee Shin-hyuk to the past and given him the Star of Reverse Heaven.

Oh Jin couldn’t even be standing here right now.

“What you are enjoying now! What you have! “Everything that makes you laugh, talk, and have fun!”

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

The space of unconsciousness shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

“Everything, everything, everything!!! “It’s because I was there!”

The faintly burning blue natural flower gazed at Oh Jin.

“…done. “I don’t need you anymore.”

Grumbling.

A black cloud completely engulfed his body.

“You don’t deserve to be around your sister.”

The Heavenly Demon, whose entire body had turned into a black cloud, spoke as if chewing at Ojin.
