Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Episode 104 Gordon’s End

I kicked Gordon in the chest and landed on the ground.

Falling onto his back, Gordon woke up vomiting handfuls of dark red blood.

“Cool.”

Charleigh didn’t miss the opportunity and fell from above, vigorously swinging her sword at Gordon.

Gordon, hit by Charleigh’s aura, flew into the wall before he could stand properly.

I quickly approached Gordon and thrust the sword in my left hand into his shoulder.

The sword went deep and pinned Gordon’s left shoulder to the wall.

I put my sword away and grabbed the guy’s neck with my left hand.

Then, with Theseus’s sword in his right hand, he aimed at the boy’s chest.

He was looking at me with a dejected expression.

“How can a human bastard use the power of the elements… … .”

I questioned the guy who was breathing heavily.

“Is it really that surprising that I use elemental power?”

At my question, Gordon coughed up blood and said,

“Kuh, you don’t even know how much power you have.”

I knew my strength was great, but was it so great that Gordon said so?

“Cool, I thought I would die from a guy who didn’t even know his strength properly.”

But now it wasn’t that important.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

I ignored Gordon’s words and put the tip of my sword near his heart.

“Tell me the way to the demon realm. Rather than wait for your guys to invade, I’ll attack you myself.”

“Puhahahaha, do you think humans can use their power in the Demon Realm! Are you a pervert who enjoys fighting against the odds?”

“I can win enough.”

“Only your pride pierces the sky.”

“Haven’t you listened to Penzaric? Humans are powerful when they work together as a community.”

That’s something I’ve been through a lot already.

Even when a great danger to mankind called Gate is faced, humans are overcoming the crisis by joining forces.

Of course, as soon as they stabilized, they fought for each other’s interests and showed their teeth, but even so, in a situation like a dungeon break, everyone fights together and overcomes it.

“An individual human being is weak, but a collective human being is strong. So go ahead and tell me.”

“Kuh, if you want to die like that, let me know. Where do you get angry? There, the portal I opened is the road leading to the Pandemonium.”

It was the black portal he opened earlier to escape.

I looked him in the eyes and shouted at Penzaric.

“Penzarik! Investigate that portal!”

“Already doing it!”

Under the portal, Penzaric was wielding a staff and handling runes.

If I kill this guy now, the portal will close.

We had to wait until Penzaric figured out the secret.

Tension swept around.

He endured the mana that was getting scarce with mental strength and waited.

“done. I figured it out!”

Hearing Penzaric’s cry, I stabbed him in the chest without hesitation.

“Now, it really is over.”

The sword entered without resistance, and Gordon had a smile on his lips even though he had a painful expression on his face.

“Keukkeuk, it’s getting interesting.”

Those were the boy’s last words.

Gordon, who had a bad expression until the end, lowered his head and began to return to his human form.

Demonic spirits flowed out of Gordon in human form and scattered into the air.

Then he dropped a dark red stone on the ground.

As I picked it up, which looked like a jewel, information popped up.

[Level S] [Heart of Higher Demon]

It is all thanks to this heart that the demons can adapt and overcome the dark demonic energy of the demon realm.

In particular, the heart of a high-ranking demon is strong enough to handle powerful demons even in the human world.

I could see why Gordon was so confident.

It must be that ordinary humans cannot handle the dark magic of the demon realm.

Looking back, everyone in the party was paying attention to this place.

Soon, shouts of soldiers filled the banquet hall.

The morning glow was coming through the walls and ceiling of the banquet hall that had been pierced by Gordon.

And I lost consciousness while holding the demon’s heart.

Before I closed my eyes, what I saw was Min-young’s face running towards me.

In Yoo Seo-jun’s office, Gilliant and Lee Hwi were sitting facing each other and talking.

“Yihui, how is the gate? Did you find any clues?”

“That’s a little strange, Gilliant. Some gates are unobstructed, but some gates are blocked by barriers.”

Hearing Yihui’s story, Gilliant stroked his chin and fell into thought.

“Hmm, then my hypothesis is proven.”

“What hypothesis?”

When Lee Hui was curious, Gilliant continued his explanation.

“A while ago, I also thought that the barrier of the gate was preventing the two worlds from meeting. However, after learning that there are gates artificially created by demons, I changed my mind.”

Gilliant took a sip of the coffee that was on the table and said, as if he was thirsty.

“The gate that connects the two worlds right now is that there is a natural one and an artificial one.”

“Could it be that a gate that opens naturally is sealed off and cannot enter, while a gate that opens artificially connects the two worlds?”

“Yeah, that was my hypothesis. It is this soul stone that makes that possible. I think the hypothesis is correct.”

“Then, why do natural gates form?”

“Maybe the demons are creating a rift between the two worlds by creating artificial gates. I’m not sure yet, but it might be right.”

After hearing Gilliant’s explanation, Lee Hui was troubled.

Gilliant placed a hand on Lee Hui’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry too much. By now, Seo-joon and his party should have met Penzaric. I will definitely come back with a solution.”

“Yes, I believe so.”

“We just need to prepare our own here.”

“It should be. How is your training going?”

In response to Lee Hui’s question, Gilliant played the video of the pad prepared by Kim Hee-jin.

“Now, everyone is doing more than one serving.”

In the video, the Avengers’ guild members systematically moved according to their roles and engaged in mock battles.

“Is there anything we need to be careful about when we go to the Demon Realm?”

At Yihui’s question, Gilliant nodded.

“Due to the thick demonic energy in the Demon Realm, ordinary humans might find it difficult to breathe. About that, I was about to share my opinion when Seo Jun came.”

“Can’t we prepare in advance?”

“Is this possible with the technology here?”

“If Gilliant tells you, I’ll look for it.”

“Okay, then let’s try this.”

Gilliant began to tell Lee Hui about the knowledge of the demon world and the magic that he knew.

Yihui began to listen to what Giliant was telling him, recording it on his pad.

My eyes widened at the commotion around me.

When I got up, Penzarik was screaming at the people around me.

“I need to recuperate! Everyone get out!”

“Ah, Archmage! It’s okay, but you see?”

“Hyuk-ah, Seo-joon is fine. I’ve looked through them all.”

I could hear Minyoung comforting Hyuk.

Hyuk, who was scrambling with Penzaric, met his eyes.

“uh? brother! Are you awake?”

“Seojun! How are you? are you okay?”

At Hyuk’s cry, Min-young quickly approached and asked.

“You checked and said it was fine, I’m fine.”

When I said that, Minyoung let out a sigh of relief.

“I knew it was fine, but it meant I needed to recuperate. Did you wake up because it was noisy?”

“Well, it’s true that it’s noisy, but it’s really okay. I woke up fully recovered.”

It really was.

Rather, the amount of mana seemed to have increased.

Sure enough, when I opened the status window, I saw that I was a Circle 7 user and had become a Circle 7 master before I knew it.

In addition, the Link Master level had risen to 30.

“Inseok-ah, you were overdoing it. Still, congratulations on becoming a master.”

Penzaric congratulated me on whether he knew my condition.

“How did you know?”

“I can know everything. Eh, what an enviable body by the way. A 7th circle master at that age.”

“You know it’s a secret from everyone else, right?”

“of course! If His Majesty finds out, I will never let her return to your world.”

Among the people gathered was Suyeon.

Suyeon came to me and stretched my cheeks.

“ah! it hurts! I am a patient!”

“okay! You’re fine.”

“Sister, what is it? While I was very worried ouch.”

“Little boy, stay still. Hey, so what do we do now? Didn’t you come here in the first place to find out the way to the demon realm?”

Suyeon was right.

I asked Panzarik.

“How have you been?”

“As a result of examining the portal that Gordon opened, we found out the exact coordinates of the Pandemonium. And I definitely found a way to open the gate with a non-soul stone.”

“Good for you. Oh!”

I looked around.

As expected, there was a demon’s heart on the table next to the bed.

He picked it up and handed it to Penzaric.

“Please look at this.”

“What is this? I was going to investigate because you were still holding it, but I was going to ask when it woke up first.”

“Gordon’s demonic energy scattered and fell.”

After examining the demon’s heart, Penzaric hit his head and blamed himself.

“ah! I thought I was missing something, so I was worried, but I guess I was missing something about the ecosystem of the Pandemonium.”

“As expected, isn’t it unreasonable at this rate?”

“Anyway, it takes time to open the gates to cross over on a large scale. We will be able to work it out within that.”

“May I take this?”

Our personnel also had to prepare their equipment.

It seemed that he would need the heart of a demon to do so.

“Don’t worry about that, we’re after the Gorgon now, so we’ll get it from him.”

For a moment I doubted my ears.

Are you chasing the gorgon? Surely he was being manipulated by Gordon’s magic?

“What happened?”

When I asked, Penzarik explained what happened after I fell.

“While cleaning up the banquet hall, we noticed that Gorgon’s corpse was nowhere to be seen. So when I tried using the tracking magic, they had already run away.”

“Gorgon made a contract with the 30th ranked demon. Although he is inferior to Gordon, he is still a high-ranking demon.”

Penzaric said not to worry.

“Don’t worry, Charleigh is directly tracking it with the Paladins.”

“Tell me to be careful though.”

“Won, don’t worry. How did Charleigh become a sword master? I know his talent better. I’ve fought demons once, so there’s no way I’ll lose.”

There was truth in Penzaric’s words.

Since he had the experience of fighting Gordon, Charleigh must have known what techniques the demons used.

Paladins went there together, so you can rest assured.

“If you can get up after resting a little longer, call the servant. His Majesty wants to see your party.”

“all right.”

I guessed why the emperor wanted to see him.

*

While Penzarik was away, he talked about his party and the schedule afterward.

“Let’s go back immediately after having an audience with the emperor.”

“Ah, I’ll go to the sauna first. Minyoung, are you going with me?”

“of course.”

“I want to quickly receive the benefits of civilization.”

Hyuk held his powered-off smartphone and cried.

“But what about Ilia and Killian?”

I couldn’t see the two of them, so when I asked, Soo-yeon answered.

“After the apprenticeship was over, the two of them left the mission at the order of the emperor. They said they would honor Black Side’s achievements and make it the Empire’s intelligence agency.”

“In the end, it came out sunny.”

Thinking of Killian’s request, he smiled.

The wish of the two people who wanted to live as an intelligence organization in Yangji came true.

“So, it seemed like they were going to finish the current eradication of the slave traders first and then search out the demons hiding on the continent.”

“And when he wakes up, I asked him to deliver this.”

What Hyuk gave him was a small round black plaque.

In the center of the plaque was engraved a pattern of three snakes biting each other’s tails to form a triangle.

“What is this?”

“Phae, which means black side executives. Originally there were three, but I heard that you are giving the vacant seat to your brother?”

“what?”

“And I added this. They said, ‘It’s an honorary position, so don’t be too burdened.’”

“It’s like Ilya.”

I put the card Illa gave me and the demon’s heart into the magic bag and stood up.

“Now that we’ve rested, shall we go see the emperor?”

After we got ready, we called the servants.

The room I was in must have been an annex of the imperial palace, and when I came out, there was a large and beautiful imperial garden.

“The inside of the imperial family is complicated, so you should follow me carefully.”

The maid said so and took the lead.

While following her, someone stopped us before leaving the garden.

“Stop.”

Looking at the place where the sound came from, the princess stood there with several attendants as if she were out for a walk.
