Damned 13th Regression – 153



<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 153>

The 39th floor of humanity’s unexplored land.

The strongest representatives of humanity gathered to break through the 39th floor.

Voltechino the leader of the Wolf Fortress and the Razor Wolves were among those representatives.

And now they…

“Oh you guys! Jump out!”

“yep!”

I was running until my feet were on fire.

Kwaaa——Ah!

Twenty pillars of fire burned half the sky white.

The atmosphere was distorted by the extreme heat and a fever raged that would instantly turn ordinary humans to ashes.

“Hot hot! “Hot hot!”

“It won’t work!” You bastards! “Let’s dig a hole and go in!”

“Captain! Even if I want to dig…”

The ten chieftains of the blade wolves known for their bravery looked at the ground covered with iron plates and cried.

“An angel appeared and suddenly the floor became iron!”

“What the hell are you talking about you bastard!” Are we all going to burn to death together?”

“Ouch! All right!”

“Use all your avatars! “Final ability unlocked!”

“Buff buff buff!”

“Shit! “The sword’s teeth are coming out!”

The sword wolves who had been kicked in the butt by their leader began to dig hard on the ground.

A roar of passion rang out behind them.

“Cluestyee——!”

It is the roar of the red-haired archangel Azazel.

Quaaaaaaaaa!

A pillar of fire rose again and stone dust flew out.

Voltechino gritted his teeth and looked back.

“Shit! Crazy guys! “What on earth are you doing!?”

The center of the 39th floor where they fled.

There was a 40 km high stone wall that was collapsing.

No it looked like a stone wall to the human eye but in fact it was not a stone wall.

A huge square rock structure.

The stone wall was only one side of the rock.

Blue lightning forms throughout the 40 km long rock.

Qarring—!

On the other side of the pillar of fire a dazzling lightning bolt stretched out to the horizon sprinkling lightning like a world tree in space.

‘The guys who ran that way won’t be safe.’

Voltechino swallowed his saliva as he said so.

The stone wall collapses due to the pillar of fire and lightning.

Inside the clearly visible stone wall was the Angel’s Fortress shining brightly in silver.

Grumble-

The fortress’s silver batteries moved and took aim at the target again.

Azazel’s red hair fluttered wildly in the blazing sky above the fortress.

“Balsaaaaa!”

The roar of Azazel the archangel of battle shook the dimension.

Burning photons converge on the muzzle and emit a pillar of fire that sets the sky on fire.

The target of the twenty silver batteries was one man.

The Great Devil of Babel wearing a stylish fedora and a black tuxedo.

It was Cluesty of the Thunder Light Cheonchu.

He smiled leisurely and turned the tip of his hat.

In an instant his appearance disappeared.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cluesti easily dodges the torrent of energy as if performing acrobatics.

He stood upside down and stretched out his fingers to catch the hat that was about to fall down.

“Bang.”

A massive thunderbolt strikes the fortress in a flash.

Blue lightning flashed throughout the metal fortress.

Cluesti counterattacks without getting hit even once.

At that leisurely appearance a large tendon appeared on Azazel’s forehead.

“Yaaaaaaaaaa!”

She tightly grasped the empty space.

Following the shout a torrent of fire pillars crossed the sky bending like taffy.

“Try to avoid this too!”

The battery glowed red and continuously shot out columns of fire.

The endless pillar of fire wraps around the stone wall thousands of times turning into a huge storm of light.

It was a storm of enormous power that nothing could escape.

cried Voltechino in horror.

“You crazy angel bitch!” “Stop it!”

At the end of his scream an intense flash of light filled the 39th floor.

A fierce battle between Archangel Azazel and the Four Heavenly Kings Cluesti.

That was half a day after the mission started.

* * *

“Azazel it’s been a long time and it’s been a long time!”

“What is going on in Cluesti so low?”

39th floor.

Azazel who had been appointed as manager opened his eyes and glared at Cluesti.

Cluesti waved both hands exaggeratedly and stepped away.

“It’s not particularly important or special. “I want to give a short greeting to all of you who have worked hard to come here.”

He bowed slightly and said hello.

“To all the fearless human hunters gathered here! Over several decades! After years of hard work! “I applaud your tenacity in reaching the halfway mark of the barbell!”

“….”

This is the second time that human hunters have seen Cluesti.

Blowing off one person’s skull for fun on the first floor.

That was the first impression of Cluesti that all hunters without exception went through.

No one was swayed by his vain and pretentious appearance.

He grinned and took off his hat.

“We have prepared a very special gift for you on the 39th floor!”

On the hat he took off were three brightly shining coins.

People started to chatter.

“It seems like some people have already noticed this for some reason.”

Cluesti snapped his fingers and a translucent rule came up.

[Rule 1. Whoever has the coin after 6 hours gets a reward.]

[3rd place coin – A slightly disappointing three-day barbell outing coin.]

[2nd place coin – Exciting barbell week outing coin.]

[1st Place Coin – Amazing Babel Permanent Escape Coin!]

“oh my god!”

“Was the rumor true?”

Several groups of hunters were astonished by the contents of the reward.

Ahead of this mission rumors of unknown origin circulated.

‘The winner of the 39th floor can escape from the barbell.’ It was a rumor.

Thanks to this even hunters who had always been reluctant to be on the front line responded to the summons and more powerful people than ever gathered here.

“Hehe this isn’t fun but shall I explain some additional rules?”

Cluesti lifted the coin from his hat.

“This special coin is amazing! It’s not just about the ability to escape. It increases the owner’s agility to a whopping 900! In terms of grade it is equivalent to SC. “It’s not just that.”

Pajik!

Lightning flashed on the coin and an electric discharge occurred throughout Cluesti’s body.

“It even grants the owner special advantages ‘Electrical Movement (SS)’ and ‘Brain Telephone (S+)’. If you have it it will be easier to escape from others right?”

An angle came out.

This meant that if you picked it up you had to run away without looking back and last for 6 hours.

“There is no benefit in taking time. “Let’s begin the mission.”

The hunters each prepared to run or turned on their search avatars.

The atmosphere that will lead to an explosion of bloodshed becomes widespread.

Christina and Edgar the Justice King wanted to reach an agreement and calm the situation but the mission progressed too quickly.

Cluesti’s finger pointed to the sky.

“Bang.”

Puzzle!

The special coin soared straight into the sky with a thunderbolt.

“Where are you?”

Hunters looked up at the sky to track Coin’s whereabouts.

They were astonished.

“Damn…”

“How many?”

Millions of coins were falling from the sky.

The coin sent by Cluesti was not visible among the group.

Hunters could only stare blankly at the coins scattered throughout the 39th floor.

Except for one person.

“hmm.”

A shadow rises in the sky full of coins.

Hunters with excellent eyesight recognized who he was.

A dark red cape that has begun to contain a curse and the mask of a vicious vicious dog whose blood stains do not dry.

“Death King?”

He looked back at the person whose name was called and unfolded his cloak.

[Avatar ‘Shijo (SS—-)’ 3rd ability activated!]

[Mr. Sijo’s 3rd ability ‘Drakenstein Night’ is released.]

The darkness of the cloak wriggles like a living thing.

Soon ominous darkness poured in like a flood staining the sky with black paint.

It was a net.

Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The darkness that covered the sky caught the coins falling like rain.

It was just a moment before I made a decision.

The Demon King who received half of the coins looked at the hunters who were looking up at him blankly.

“It’s easy.”

Just like that he disappeared into the darkness.

Only then did the hunters come to their senses and shout.

“Everyone! “Pick them all up!”

“Turn on the Sarbek exploration avatar!”

“There are a lot of reactions but they are indistinguishable from the real thing!”

“Then find the Four Spirits King!”

The hunters worked hard to avoid being late even for a moment.

No one can stop that collective excitement.

For those with a cause like Christina or Edgar the limit was to prevent their subordinates from running away.

Before we knew it there were about thirty people left.

Cluesti let out a strange laugh as he watched the people scattering like ants.

“Cluesti.”

One person raised his hand.

“If I collect multiple coins will my abilities become stronger?”

“Of course! Gonghyeok Joo. Absolutely no details! Strictly prohibited! “It’s a secret though.”

The Great Devil smiled thinly at the human.

“I have very high expectations of you.”

“That’s too much.”

The devil’s gaze turned to the ring on Joo Gong-hyeok’s hand.

The ring contained a jewel he had created ‘Thunderlight Crystal.’

“Hehe Azazel? My job is done. “Just do your thing.”

Cluesti disappeared and Azazel slowly came down.

An angel who is beautiful and delicate but somehow feels heavy.

At first glance it looked similar to the one on the first floor but in the eyes of the hunters Azazel looked completely different from then.

A sacred radiance that only the strong can feel an unapproachable aura.

As his abilities became stronger and he reached a higher level the sense of intimidation he felt from Azazel became stronger.

She looked back at the remaining hunters with half-hearted eyes.

“Thank you to those who stayed calmly. “I have only one thing to say to you.”

She muttered softly.

[End the argument.]

[39th floor angel world main quest.]

– Follow the wishes of Archangel Azazel and make people stop their meaningless fights.

– The more effective the behavior the higher the reward level.

– Basic reward: Special dungeon opening or SS-level item.

The angel’s declaration to ‘end the quarrel’.

King Edgar of Justice bowed his head.

“I will do my best to follow the angel’s will.”

“It makes no sense for people’s lives to be lost so meaninglessly.”

Hoover the second-in-command of the corps asked cracking his neck.

“Edger is there any good solution?”

“I’ll have to think about it.”

He pondered with a serious look on his face.

“There is always an answer to a mission and a hint to an angel’s quest.”

“I get it. I’ll cooperate with Christina. “Because I helped you during Desertio last time.”

Hoover said and looked at the large figure nearby.

“there! Soma Sangay. Together with the guys who turned their eyes away because of the Babel escape… hey?”

Although his affiliation was different Soma Sangai was known as a trustworthy righteous man of the Company.

Hoover who had fought with the Skeleton Gentleman called Soma but he left showing his big back as if he had nothing to do.

The place Soma Sangai went to was next to Joo Gong-hyeok who started walking first.

“What do you plan to do Gonghyuk?”

“I have to do my job.”

“You can’t see it but there are probably humans who have taken advantage of the confusion to receive not only angel side quests but also devil side quests.”

“Oh that’s it.”

He takes out the pipe from his chest and lights it.

Smoke dispersed across the green meadows.

“Right now you might be busy picking up things that have fallen on the ground. “If there’s nothing to pick up they’ll dig up human corpses and eat them.”

A right of escape suddenly given by the devil.

The intention was obvious.

It was a means to divide human solidarity ahead of the cataclysm of the 40th floor.

Until now due to the danger of the front line conflicts between forces have been avoided by cooperating with each other regardless of affiliation or not rising to the top level at all.

However this compensation cannot be passed on to anyone else.

The only hope to get out of this hellish place.

Even if you kill your boss or an ally just leave.

“Except for the few who climb the barbell to kill the devil with their own hands everyone’s eyes will roll.”

“All right. “Then we’ll have to do what we used to do.”

“okay. “All you have to do is play the role of a bad guy and get criticized.”

Wearing the mask of an evil person he cruelly controls unruly hunters and wearing the mask of a good person he is praised and simply collects the results.

That was the meaning of the Death King’s existence.

In fact Joo Gong-hyuk had ‘parts’ that weren’t just acting. Soma didn’t say anything until then.

“Well what Azazel wants is simple. “The reason there are fights over coins is because disobedient arrogant people are splitting heads.”

Zhou Gonghyeok decided to kill the Four Heavenly Kings here.

Knowing that the intention of Azazel’s quest was simple.

“If a truly overwhelmingly strong person holds all the coins there will be no conflict. Even if you try you’ll only lose your life. right?”

Do not stop or persuade people who fight over coins.

Azazel’s quest will end if you acquire 3 coins faster than anyone else and crush those who attack you without fear like insects.

Joo Gong-hyeok and the insect hunters here had a level difference similar to that of humans and ants.

Soma nodded in understanding.

“So you took quite a lot of coins with you in the guise of the Demon King.”

“no. That’s just showmanship. Actually there was no need for that.”

Joo Gong-hyeok lifted up the Noe Gwang-jeong ring.

Three yellow arrows appeared as a hologram centered on the ring.

The arrow pointed to the location of the ‘special coin’.
