Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 753: To The End (12)

Every time the black line passed, the pigeons’ bodies were cut off, and they rolled around the ground. Even if I looked at it from a distance, that was the only scene I would be able to look at.

Perhaps to the people watching, Kim Hyunsung would be seen as nothing but a passing line too. When I drew the large Goddess’s Mirror in front of me with my finger, I could see Kim Hyunsung following my hand.

Of course, the mirror didn’t have a new function.

-Clear.

“Okay.”

Kim Hyunsung knew. He understood everything I wanted and where I wanted to move.

In fact, he didn’t even need to say clear. Before I could even tell him what I was thinking, he had already realized it.

I couldn’t understand how he got to realize it, but he certainly understood what I was thinking.

‘Fuck, he’s not reading what I’m thinking now, is he?’

No, that was impossible. The name of the newly acquired attribute was not Lee Kiyoung’s Instruction Manual but the Regressor’s Instruction Manual.

It wasn’t Kim Hyunsung that used me. Rather, it was the kind of attribute where I used Kim Hyunsung. I could understand what he was feeling.

Kim Hyunsung’s view, condition, everything Kim Hyunsung was feeling. I felt all of that as if I was experiencing his situation as well.

‘Fuck…’

I thought that was probably the reason why the amount of adrenaline that was released was enough to make my head spin.

An ordinary person with no power suddenly became superman.

I couldn’t wield that power, but I felt the sensations of the one who could and did.

The speed of moving through the air and the strength that seemed to be able to crush mountains.

The swordsman’s swordsmanship at its peak, the power he could handle, the heat and hostility pouring out of the battlefield, the superhuman’s sense of smell and touch, and an elevated mood and sensation.

In return, all Kim Hyunsung felt was our connection and what kind of command I wanted to convey. It seemed helpful enough for Kim Hyunsung, who had a lot of fear and low self-esteem. I could bet that someone accompanying him on the battlefield would mean a lot to him.

Wouldn’t that be especially true if that someone was the only person who understood him? If that person was Light Kiyoung?

‘Yes, absolutely.’

It was something I always felt, but Kim Hyunsung was afraid to make decisions.

I didn’t know if that was his innate tendency or if it was conditioned, but it was probably closer to the latter. The trials given by the masked hero to the regressor helped in strengthening him, but on the other hand, it also made him weak.

If I thought of Kim Hyunsung in the first round, wasn’t it very obvious?

Kim Hyunsung ruined everything. From the tutorial to the end, he always dipped into the worst option.

Whenever he made a choice, his colleagues died or became half-disabled and eventually collapsed in front of the ordeal of the masked hero.

That trauma couldn’t have disappeared so easily.

Hence, he was afraid to make a choice.

Even if he pretended not to be or didn’t care, he was fearful of big decisions. Due to the remnants that were located deep in his heart– no, his soul… Kim Hyunsung was restraining his original power.

If I had to compare it, I wondered if it was similar to a beast with shackles. A wild beast who might not know that he had large iron balls attached to his front and rear feet.

-Hah… haha!

Kim Hyunsung seemed to think that I was giving him power, but all the force he showed was the original strength he had. He could do more than what my Mind’s Eyes could see.

Kim Hyunsung was…

‘He’s fucking strong. Really.’

He had the power that far exceeded what I had measured before.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

Craaaaaaaack!

Booooooooooooom!!!

‘Look at that friend sweeping the battlefield, guys. Fuck, isn’t that something you can only see in cartoons?’

-Cleared!

“Focus.”

-Okay!

I saw a face filled with joy. Every time he swung his sword, a black wave covered his opponents.

The regressor’s statement that he could fight all day long wasn’t exaggerated.

There was no need to use other troops for Kim Hyunsung. I didn’t have to support him with magic to defend against incoming magic and arrows or push other heroes to make space.

Even if Kim Hyunsung moved alone, it didn’t seem like he was overdoing it.

Giant lights, arrows, and spears flew in from all directions. I didn’t need to ask the wizards for support.

Why? Because he already saw them.

Unlike before, when he was only looking straight ahead, he could now see from all angles.

Of course, it wasn’t Kim Hyunsung who judged. Sitting in the control room, I judged everything.

I determined where to dodge and which route to take.

It wasn’t a decision made without any basis, but one based on all the information pouring into me.

‘It’s not such a selfish judgment.’

Kim Hyunsung’s condition, his experience, his thoughts. Lee Kiyoung’s personal opinion was added to it to find the most reasonable route.

The time to determine all that was but an instant.

I didn’t know how it was possible. It was the same as asking, ‘Why can you think?’

At that moment, the command system created in this way struck Kim Hyunsung. It felt as if our brains became one. I could see Kim Hyunsung nodding. He slammed the flying spear into the sky.

His arms were a little bit numb.

The pile of light that flowed in broke through from his wings wrapped around his body. Arrows were blown away by the wind pressure coming from the spread of his wings.

He stretched them to the most reasonable space, shoving dozens of pigeons away as soon as he wielded Durendal. The black line crossed the sky once again.

‘Fuck! Fucking fast! Fuck!’

The black line standing in the sky was drawing a picture on the ground.

‘Hyunsung, it’s too fast. Fuck.’

I could see the old man Victor Hart struggling. He was someone who’d be a waste to be allowed to die there, so I thought it was okay to keep him alive.

After correcting the route, Kim Hyunsung moved again. The old man’s face, seen from far away, was quickly approached.

The heads of several pigeons who were throwing their spears at Victor Hart were slammed onto the ground by Kim Hyunsung’s hand.

Boooooooom!!

I heard his voice after that.

-Y… You…

“Long time no see, old man.”

-Long time no see, old man.

“I didn’t say that for you to repeat it, Hyunsung.”

-Ah… My bad.

I wondered if his odd eye looked that cool. The Imperial Sword that stared at Kim Hyunsung’s face spoke as if he was discouraged.

-Hah… haha… right. That’s how it happened…

It seems that it wasn’t just one person chosen by God.

-…

-…

-No. Only one was chosen by God.

-…?

-I am… the one chosen by God’s chosen.

‘I’m so proud of you, Hyunsung. Yes. I chose you.’

-No… It’s not… You…

The old man’s face became distant in an instant. I could feel Kim Hyunsung swinging his sword once again, running quickly.

I felt the swordsman’s arm using his weapon in my hand.

‘Wow, what if I get stronger too?’

Kim Hyunsung’s sword skills were in my head. Wouldn’t it be possible to subdue the neighborhood bullies with sword skills?

He kept breaking through enemies. The only thing that remained after a black line swept through the battlefield once were the pigeons thrown to the ground.

‘Let’s go! Let’s go!’

Baaaaang!!

Craaash!

Boooooooooom!

‘I thought he could only use swords, but his movements aren’t bad either. Why didn’t you do that before? Were you too tied up? Or did you forget?’

Kim Hyunsung, with his sword on the ground, could be seen beating pigeons with his fists and feet.

Boooom!

With an unrealistic sound, the crushed guys bounced off of Kim Hyunsung.

‘It doesn’t fit the concept at all, but I think it’s going to look cool if you hit them with the horn. You won’t have any use for your horns after today anyway, so let’s use it at least once.’

As soon as I thought of that somewhat ridiculous command in my mind, I immediately saw Kim Hyunsung hitting an angel with his horns.

“Ah…”

It certainly didn’t look good, but it wasn’t bad.

‘Ah… This is really too easy.’

The current situation was easy enough to be able to make such ridiculous attacks.

The difference in power was overwhelming, and Kim Hyunsung among the demons was no different from a wolf among lambs. It was then that I felt a pain in my shoulder.

“Ahhhhhh!!”

Standing where I turned my head was a named pigeon pulling a bow.

‘Forget what I said. We can’t let our guards down, fuck.’

He seemed to have the ability to shoot unseeable arrows.

I couldn’t detect the invisible arrow while lost in thoughts for a moment.

Kim Hyunsung also reacted as if he was startled. The arrow was on his shoulder, so I didn’t know why he was so surprised.

‘It doesn’t even hurt? Are you used to the pain? That hurt a lot…’

-Are you… Are you okay?

“Ah… Yes. I’m fine…”

-I’m… sorry… I’m sorry. Sorry…

“No, it’s okay.”

‘Ah… This bastard got scared again.’

“I think the shared pain can be reduced a little. Calm down. You seem to be overly agitated.”

In an instant, enormous anger fell into my head. The named pigeon, which fired an arrow before even being given an order, became covered in blood.

Its face was completely crushed, and its limbs were cut off disgustingly.

-Motherfucker! Motherfucker!

‘Okay, stop the aggression, Doom Hyunsung, fuck…’

Maybe I could control his emotions as well. I was able to see Kim Hyunsung breathing slowly, stabilizing as he slowly calmed down.

‘That really worked.’

It felt as if the blood that was gathered in his head was gradually circulating properly again. I noticed that he quietly bowed his head as if he was aware that he went too far.

-I apologize.

“No. I wasn’t focused either. Then…”

-No… I’m really sorry.

“Just make sure to focus on the battle.”

-Yes.

The war wasn’t over yet. His shoulder hurt a little, but it wasn’t enough to hinder the black line from moving.

He bit his lips tighter than before as he became faster and faster.

I could only hear explosions and loud sounds. I noticed he was focusing so much that I couldn’t even hear his voice saying ‘Cleared.’

Kim Hyunsung was trying to swing his sword. I ordered him to release the Sword of Sunset, but unfortunately, it couldn’t come out due to his Doom Hyunsung state. Enormous jet-black energy struck the enemy camp instead.

Everything… Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

‘Fuck, that’s really cool.’

It was a sight that gave me chills. Who wouldn’t be thrilled to see that scene? If someone didn’t feel excited due to it…

‘They were probably a demon official.”

I would even call a heretic interrogator for interrogation. It was a sight that I couldn’t take my eyes off of while holding my head with one of my hands.

I saw the guy quietly nodding and looking at his hand.

“That was good. Move to the next point immediately. In no time, we’ll be ending the war.”

-Yeah.

He nodded again. Kim Hyunsung, smiling brightly, looked to be in a really good mood, but there was a bad taste in my mouth.

Somewhere very deep, I could feel fear and determination. It lasted for just a moment, but I noticed the change in his emotions.

‘What? What are you scared of? Is that because of what happened earlier?’

Did he think he could fool me?

It was easy to unlock what’s locked. As I thought about going a little deeper, I began to feel the feelings he had.

“…”

-Where should I go next?

“…”

-I want to end the war quickly, Kiyoung. Like this…

“…”

-I’ll move now.

“Ha… Look at this bastard.”

It wasn’t a big problem.

“This bastard, really.”

It wasn’t a big problem for me.

Kim Hyunsung…

Kim Hyunsung was thinking of his own death.

He decided to end everything with his sacrifice.
