Regressor’s Life After Retirement
Chapter 347

—

[ (Side Story) Don’t watch it twice! ]

“I can’t go any further…”

Anna muttered in a tired voice. The girl looked around with a haggard face.

“Keueuuuuu!”

“It’s so cold…”

Patients whose condition was improving due to healing magic were getting rashes again. Those with severe symptoms scratched their skin in pain. Blood and pus splattered everywhere.

To make matters worse, monsters were coming outside the bunker.

-Kyaaaaa!

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The screams of monsters and the sound of explosions like bombs exploding one after another.

Every time the building shook and dust poured out, panicked patients screamed, adding to the confusion.

Among them, there was even someone who blamed Lily and the others.

“It’s all because of those people! “Those people brought the monsters!”

A man stepped forward and pointed a finger at Anna.

“Take responsibility! “It looks like we’re all going to die because of you!”

The man began to incite people, blaming Lily and her friends for all these misfortunes and saying that if only they disappeared, we would be fine.

“Everyone listen carefully! We have to chase those people out so we can survive! We have to take the monsters outside and make them leave…”

This was when the words of the agitator began to sound sweet to the ears of patients who were grasping at straws.

-Bah!

The man who had been hit in the back of the head by something fainted and fell to the floor.

“Does anyone want to sleep again?”

Lily was bringing in new patients she had rescued from outside the bunker. There was a small stone in the girl’s hand.

“…….”

“…….”

The patients who were dissatisfied with the girl’s bold actions all fell silent.

I realized it again.

How powerful the people who are helping them are.

“…Is it okay to hit a patient like that? “Everyone is already scared…”

Anna approached Lily and asked in a whisper.

Lily nodded with confidence.

“If you do too well, you might look like a pushover. The nicer a person is, the more serious he or she should be. “Good deeds take the initiative!”

“…….”

It was some strange logic, but Anna strangely had faith in Lily’s words, which seemed to have her own clear beliefs.

But regardless of their beliefs, their situation was getting worse.

Aww aww aww!

Outside the bunker, Soshinhan howled several times.

A signal that new patients have been discovered.

As soon as Lily heard the sound, she ran outside the bunker again.

“I’ll be back again! “Take care of those with severe symptoms first!”

“But the mana…”

Anna, who had followed Lily to tell her that she was almost out of mana, fell silent when she saw her comrades fighting outside the bunker.

Everyone was fighting as hard as they could.

In order not to let a single monster into the bunker, the colleagues were scattered everywhere and engaged in a bloody fight with the monsters.

‘This is not the time to complain about how difficult it is.’

Anna bit her lip and shouted towards Lily’s back.

“Go! “I’ll do my best to calm the patients down!”

“huh! thank you!”

Anna turned around and began to gather mana from those around her.

If you run out of mana, just fill it up.

All you have to do is complete the process several times, even dozens of times faster than usual!

-Srurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!

In accordance with her earnest will, the surrounding mana gathered around Anna. The urgent environment made the girl’s talent bloom even faster.

“Black….”

“It hurts….”

Anna walked towards the crying children among the patients.

Children younger than themselves were crying with boils all over their bodies.

That sight reminded me of my friends who died in Pandemonium.

‘I will save you!’

Replaces the magical energy seeping into the body with one’s own and converts it back into healing magic.

The moment I made up my mind, the process happened surprisingly naturally.

Paaaaat-!

The light extending from Anna’s hand touched the children.

After a while, the pain had subsided and the children looked at Anna with blank expressions.

“Ah….”

“Thank you….”

“…….”

Anna was thinking of something to say to calm the scared children.

At that moment, what Lily had just said came to mind.

‘They said a good person should show strength. Good deeds are said to suppress the momentum. In that case…’

“Hey.”

Anna, who had decided on something, put her hands in her pockets, furrowed her eyebrows mischievously, and opened her mouth in a very aggressive tone.

“Do you guys want to die? “If you keep whining, I’ll just throw you away to the monsters?”

“Hi!”

“I’m sorry!”

Anna, who confirmed that the suppression had worked, smiled in remorse.

‘Lily was right!’

…I was applying what I had learned seriously wrong, but unfortunately there was no one around to point it out.

Anyway, the children stopped crying and the other patients became shocked and quiet.

Anna’s voice became more confident as she gained confidence.

“Kkkkkk. “If you don’t want to die, just stand in line and get treatment from me!”

The girl smiled like a villain and began to carefully treat the pale patients.

***

Flutter.

Soshinhan, lying on the floor, was breathing heavily. His entire body was full of tears and cuts.

“Haa… haa… I think I saved all of the patients outside… somehow…”

Although Soshinhan has the lowest fighting ability among the group, he uses Gaeseong [Wolf Form] to give him excellent mobility and sense of smell. was able to play a major role in rescuing patients.

“The monsters are still retreating, with the bunker surrounded. “It doesn’t look like they’re going to attack right away… but their movements are unusual.”

Gerold said after scouting outside.

As confident as he was, he also looked scratched and chafed here and there.

Gerold continued speaking with his characteristic expressionless expression.

“It looks like they are trying to form up before launching a large-scale attack. Their movements are becoming increasingly systematic. As if they had gained intelligence…”

“So…”

The group’s expressions became serious.

Up until now, we had somehow been able to prevent the monsters from invading, but the situation was getting worse.

“Matriarch. Are you okay?”

“Whew… it’s still worth holding on.”

In particular, Wendy’s face was much paler than usual.

This was because an extensive ice barrier was placed and maintained around the bunker to protect it.

“No matter how much I kill, monsters keep appearing.”

“It is difficult to maintain the status quo.”

“The space to accommodate patients is decreasing…”

While the enemies were forming up outside, the group took a moment to continue the meeting.

“We have to replace a way to deal with them more effectively.”

“Wouldn’t there be a time limit? “It doesn’t make sense to have an unlimited number of monsters like this.”

“There must be a strategy…”

But it’s all just a pessimistic outlook.

The number of enemies does not decrease, and the number of patients to take care of continues to increase.

Even the bunkers are running out of space to accommodate patients.

“…….”

While everyone was sharing their opinions, Lily remained silent, looking outside the bunker.

Lily, who had been lost in thought for a while, opened her mouth.

“Do you think you can survive without me?”

The group’s eyes widened at the sudden story.

Wendy asked as representative.

“Without you? “What are you going to do alone?”

“excuse me.”

Lily raised her finger and pointed to a spot.

A steep tower visible through thick fog.

It was a place that was suspected to be the source of this infectious disease that I had visited before coming to the bunker.

“There must be a way to get rid of all the monsters out there. But…”

Lily trailed off and looked around.

Patients filled the bunker.

I couldn’t take these people to the tower.

In other words, someone has to stay here and protect the people.

Lily couldn’t force her colleagues to make sacrifices.

“Or… I’ll protect this place by myself, so would you like the four of us to go over there?”

Lily thought that it would be better for her to do more difficult work, even if it meant less efficiency.

“…….”

The group was silent for a moment at Lily’s sudden suggestion.

But the silence didn’t last long.

The first person to break the silence was Wendy.

Wendy sighed and walked towards Lily.

-Wow!

“Aya!”

Wendy, who fed Lily’s forehead with honey balm, said with a somber expression.

“Aren’t you ignoring us too much? “Do you think I can’t protect this place without you?”

“That’s not it…”

Anna said next to him, raising her chin arrogantly.

“Patients can’t do without me anymore, right? “You can’t even use healing magic.”

“That’s true, but…”

Gerold said, silently nodding behind the two girls.

“We are enough here alone.”

Finally, Soshinhan came over and gently stroked Lily’s hair.

“We are not that weak. So don’t worry and go. “I’ll stay here protecting people until you return.”

“I’m the weakest subject… I’m most worried about you, aren’t you?”

“…Keuhumhum!”

Soshinhan cleared his throat at the heavy factual assault. The two girls giggled at the sight.

“…Hmm. Anyway, if any of us have to go check out that tower, it’s you, Lily. Because he is the strongest and although I don’t understand him, he seems to have the most experience. And…”

So Shinhan turned his head and made eye contact with everyone.

It was an odd combination at any time, but now they were extremely trustworthy colleagues.

He said, clenching his fists.

“Once we make up our minds, we will never give up on this place.”

Whisper quietly.

“Isn’t that guy really good at saying mean things?”

“If anyone sees you, they will think you are very strong. From what I hear, he’s a very landlord.”

“The man doesn’t like such harsh words.”

“Hmm! “Don’t rush to set the mood!”

However, the three girls did not stop teasing So Shin-han, and in the end, So Shin-han, whose face was bright red, went outside, saying that he would just do some reconnaissance.

…Thanks to this, Lily’s heart became lighter.

“Thank you everyone! “Then I’ll be back soon!”

Lily immediately came out of the bunker and started running as fast as she could. In an instant, the background was pushed back.

-Krrrrr!

-Kwaaaaah!

The monsters waiting outside tried to grab the girl, but their outstretched hands only touched the air.

-Pow! puck!

Lily stepped on the monsters’ heads, exploding them, and jumped onto a nearby building.

In an instant, Lily climbed to the roof of the tallest building nearby and jumped down from there.

-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Butterfly-shaped flame wings spread from the back of the falling girl.

Lily spread her wings wide and flew towards her destination, the tower, with a single flap.

‘There must be a way to save the city inside that tower!’

Behind her, monsters had already begun attacking the bunker, but Lily didn’t look back.

Because I trusted my friends who remained there.

After a while, the fog cleared and the tower was visible.

However, the advance was soon blocked.

[This is an inaccessible area. You can enter after completing the prerequisites.]

“Same message…”

Lily felt the transparent barrier within her reach and tried to gauge its strength.

Prerequisites?

I didn’t even wonder what it was.

“Don’t look at me twice! The Five

Righteousness of the Heavenly Demon Fist Law…” -Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

An enormous amount of energy surges around Lily’s body.

Incredible power began to concentrate in the small fist.

However, at that moment, the transparent membrane began to become stronger, as if it had anticipated Lily’s attack.

-Keeeeeeee!

Lily’s eyes widened in embarrassment.

‘If this goes on, I don’t think I can break it with the Heavenly Demon Fist…’

Lily didn’t know it, but the great man was watching everything from inside the WHA.

Daein, who was eating ramen, looked at the screen and grinned.

“kid. You too need to understand that the world is not easy. “Do you think that all problems can be solved by punching?”

“I don’t think that’s what you want to say…”

“Hehehehe…”

“…I guess you just wanted to bother me.”

Whatever the reason, it wasn’t that difficult for a great person to strengthen the barrier to the point where Lily couldn’t break it.

…But just as parents often mistakenly think they know everything about their children, adults also thought they knew everything about Lily’s abilities.

At that moment, Lily was thinking about a conversation she had with someone in the past.

-This Jjaebi created a new martial art.

– Martial arts?

-Clark. To kill time, I researched a way to maximize your strength in the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong. I combined the essence of the flame magic and asked the Dragon Emperor for advice. How do you feel? Would you like to learn it?

-yes! I want to learn!

-Clark. good night. Instead, it’s a secret from Daein?

-why?

-Wouldn’t it be more fun to hide it and surprise it later? Clackclack!

Herbivorous food that Grandpa Cheonma once told you was a secret!

Lily, who remembered that, put that force into her fist without hesitation.

“Haaaab-!”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Flames were added to the fist where enormous internal energy was gathering.

The flames began to mix exquisitely with the inner power of the Heavenly Demon Godkong and soon wriggled like a fire dragon.

Cheon Mugeuk gave this name to this herbal food.

“Heavenly Demon Flame Dance!”

A fist filled with destructive power shattered the barrier protecting the tower in one blow.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

As soon as the barrier broke, the great man dropped his chopsticks to the floor.
