Regressor's Instruction Manual Episode 917
Sera [17]
"Gaaah!"
"What... What's happening?"
"Kwaaaahhh!!"
"Miss Violet!"
"Miss Marlin?"
"Jung Ha-yan! Jung Ha-yan!"
"Huh? Oh... Oppa is... Oppa is?"
Kwaaaahhh!!
"Take cover for now!"
"Oppa! Oppa!!"
"Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!!"
"Oppa! Oppa!!"
" I'm a paladin... will also participate in the battle... No, I'll join this side.
"Oppa!!"
"Jung Ha-yan! Come this way!"
"Let go of this! Let it go!!"
"Damn it! Jung Ha-yan! Hurry, come this way!"
"Aaahhh!!"
"Listen to me!!"
"Wait... Dodge!!"
The overwhelming force of a giant sacred power engulfed the surroundings, and unpleasant sounds filled the air.
'Huh? Am I going to die?'
Various thoughts flashed through my mind momentarily. My feet, no, my whole body feels frozen, and I can't move properly. Without realizing it, I glance to my side.
"What are you doing, Miss Violet!"
I heard Marlin's voice. And...
"Stand behind me!"
Kwaaaaaang!!
A massive back came into view.
"Uh.."
"Jung Hayan!"
"Oh, Oppa. It's Oppa!"
"I know! Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!!! Get in formation! Quickly get into position! Hey! Whitey! Alps! Come this way!"
"I'll take charge of front. An Ki-mo, Sun Hee young, Hwang Jeongyeon, Valerie, Alp's, and Elena will protect people and lead the evacuation."
"Yes... Yes! Cho Hyejin-nim."
"Yes! Yes!"
"Yes.... Understood! Valerie! You're on this side!"
"Yes! Senior Alp's!"
"Kim Yeri, Park Deok gu, Kim Changryul, and Yoo Ah young will go with me. Rescuing the Vice guild Master is the top priority. The enemies are suspected to be monsters using divine power. Hwang Jungyeon will provide magic support, Park Deokgu will do as usual..."
"I'm not asking you to pushing with your body."
"Sorry for asking too much."
"No, you don't need to apologize. It's what we always do."
"Yeah. That's right."
"Let's go."
"Yes... Yes!"
'Those are Blue Guild members.'
In front of me were undoubtedly Blue Guild members. In an instant, they organized the situation and moved swiftly without hesitation.
Even though it was all happening so quickly, I couldn't see everything that was going on. But it seemed like the chaotic situation was being brought under control.
The screams that had been continuously heard and the voices of people in distress were no longer audible. Looking around hurriedly, I could see people using magic or divine magic in each area.
They were securing an escape route from the back, protecting those waiting in line to get out safely.
Some priests and adventurers were calming down anxious people. This is...
Is it safe?
Is it really safe?
Okay. Yes. This is the Vatican, a place known for possessing an autonomous armed force, unmatched by any other large guild or paramilitary organization.
It is where those who have fought against demons and heretics for centuries and even led the sacred swords on the day of the continent's destruction are stationed.
I've never heard of monsters invading the Holy See, but we cannot be unprepared for such a situation.
Besides, there are other adventurers here, including Blue Guild members. It should be safe. My fear is subsiding...
"It will be safe. Miss Violet."
Upon hearing the voice from the side, my heart calmed again.
"Is... is Miss Marlin alright?"
"I'm used to situations like this."
"Really?"
There was'nt an explanation, but I could sense why Marlin said she was used to it.
She was from Castle Rock, an area constantly troubled by unrest due to the Republic and the border, and classified as a dangerous region due to periodic monster waves.
Growing up in such a place, she must have experienced many situations like this. Moreover, being a martial arts practitioner, she also trained in swordsmanship and magic.
Perhaps, this composure was what made her the person she is now. Unlike me, who can only be frightened and cower, she is undoubtedly different.
"Adventurers and holy knights will handle the situation. Oscar is here too." "Yes..."
"They are securing the rear, so it may take some time..."
"Is that so?"
"Here, the Blue Guild members are also present. We should be okay, but I wonder if Honorary Cardinal is safe..."
"Ah! I see."
"Yes. Rafael is here too, but... they don't seem like ordinary monsters. I've never heard of monsters using divine power..."
"Never... never heard of it?"
"At least not to my knowledge. I haven't encountered them before. Sometimes special entities appear in the dungeons that adventurers explore, but this seems different. With those wings... and to come into the Holy See... there may be another purpose..."
"Perhaps..."
"Yes. Maybe they are after Honorary Cardinal. Or maybe they were attracted by divine power to come here, but I don't feel uneasy about thinking it's a planned attack. The situation is too delicate. It's as if they came for this prayer assembly from the very beginning..."
"Then... could they be demons?"
Demons using divine power... it seems more unrealistic than monsters using magic, as the two energies are polar opposites.
Embarrassed by my own foolish words, Marlin nodded her head.
"In the continent, there are things that we are not aware of happening. And they seem to be unaffected by divine magic from priests."
"Yes?"
Voices began to echo from various places, saying:
"Divine magic is not effective. Priests, fall back."
"The protective magic is useless."
The figures in front, with serious expressions, were awe-inspiring as they faced the unknown space shrouded in hostile light.
As they opened a path while confronting that light head-on, even the protective barriers were breaking apart with a creaking sound.
'Can I enter the light that's even breaking the protective magic?'
Wooooo!
Amidst the sound of shattering, a massive arm broke through the protective barrier.
"Oh, Oppa!"
Yelled Jung Ha-yan as she rushed blindly into the light. When the monster with wings tried to crush her,
"You filthy bastards!"
With that shout, a gigantic purple arm pushed the monster away.
"What?"
"Black magic?"
The ominous and gathered dark magic began to restore the broken protective barrier just before collapsing. In addition to the strange energy rising subtly, it enveloped the space.
Oooh...
"S-Sora?"
"Didn't I tell you not to come?"
What came into view was Han Sora, who had spread her black wings.
'What on earth is happening?'
The foreboding feeling engulfed me in an instant. As if not enough, monsters with gaping mouths were rising from the black ground, emanating mournful wails.
The sight of the monster with wings emitting a howling sound while attacking the monsters with wings caught my attention.
Oooh...
What am I witnessing right now? Until a moment ago, it felt like I was in heaven, but now it feels like I'm in hell.
A monster that emerged from the side is swallowed by a massive mouth that rose from the underground.
With a gulp sound, monsters protruding from the side are swallowed by the giant mouth coming up from underground.
Dozens of black spears were waiting for the monster to come out of its mouth with a howl.
"I told you to come this way! The Vice guild Master will be safe. He have Rafael with him."
"S-Sora..."
"Don't do anything. Right now, Jung Ha-yan..."
With a papa-papa sound, the monster that was impaled by dozens of spears rose again. Even after pulling the spears out with its own hands, it regenerated.
Even with the giant purple hand pressing it down...the monster with wings stood up, oozing blood.
It's a frightening sight. It's so unreal that I can't fathom why Han Sora is using black magic. Everything happening around is beyond belief.
"I'm sorry...I'm so... I..."
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault. Right now... right now there's nothing we can do. Rather, come this way quickly!"
"Ung..."
"Han Sora, are you okay?"
"I can't help it. Jeong-Yeon unni, my sacred power and her magic are polar opposites... right now, this is the best option. "
'Maybe she was hiding it all along?'
"Jung Ha-yan, why...?"
"There's a reason for it. I'll tell you later, Jeong-Yeon."
"I don't like this either, but it's for the safety of the guild members. Remember, it's your duty to report your condition?"
"That... that's true, but Jung-yeon unni..."
"I can't avoid disciplinary action. But at least, you won't be in danger if I had reported it to the guild in advance."
"Yes..."
"Maybe it's best for Jung Ha-Yan to retreat from the frontlines. Stay with Marlin. After securing the escape route, we'll leave together."
Finally, I sticks with Jung Ha-yan. I couldn't understand how this has happened, but one thing is certain, there's a problem with Jung Ha-yan right now.
She continues to sob inside the transparent barrier. Even from the eyes of an ignorant person, it's clear that the situation is changing little by little.
The spell Han Sora has casted is disrupting the sacred power that made it impossible to see what was happening just a moment ago.
The grim-colored interior is far from welcoming, but at least it seems better than those monsters.
Black and white energies collide, and monsters are tearing each other apart.
The protective barrier that protects the people is becoming stronger, and the monsters with wings are falling one by one to the ground.
Oooh...
Kyak-kee-eek!
"Miss Violet! This way!"
"Yes?"
"What are you staring at? It's our turn."
"Ah, yes...yes!"
"Come with Jung Ha-yan!"
"But..."
"That's enough! Get out of here quickly! Jeez! Valerie!"
"Got it!"
"Escort Jung Ha-yan..."
"Okay! Understood, Sunbae! Come this way, everyone! Senator Marlin, Jung Ha-yan, and... and... Yes! Anyway, come quickly!" [Sunbae- Senior.]
"Hold on... Oh, Oppa is..."
"Yes?"
When I unconsciously turned my head, I saw the scene of the Honorary Cardinal, soaked in blood, embracing Raphael.
