Damned 13th Regression – 186



<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 186>

– No~~! What are you talking about?

An angry Nathaniel grabbed Joo Gong-hyeok’s left ear and shouted.

– When did you swear that you wouldn’t do something like this and it’s already like this? It’s not even three days!

“Don’t be angry.”

Joo Gong-hyeok approached Zoroaster dragging the hem of his cloak.

“Because I know it very well.”

The whole place slowly turned gray.

Nathaniel’s babbling sound stretched out like a broken tape and Zoroaster’s hand writing down the autograph slowed down as if it had stopped.

A moment of frozen time.

The gray man held Zoroaster’s hand as he scratched the sign on the quest.

“The Joo Gong-hyeok festival is over.”

said the gray man.

“okay.”

Gonghyuk answered calmly.

The Yeouigeumgobong in the inventory was caught in my hand.

Kwasik!

Zoroaster’s quest tablet was shattered on Yeouibong.

He tilted his head as if puzzled.

“What are you doing?”

“You have to listen to what people say until the end. ‘Of course I’ll reject both.’”

“Isn’t this the quest you asked me to bring before?”

Zoroaster asked even more puzzled.

On the 39th floor Joo Gong-hyuk gave advice by killing the highest-ranking hunters.

Next time we meet please bring these quests.

But suddenly the reaction changed like flipping the palm of one’s hand.

“Sorry things have changed. “I will notify you of the necessary quests again.”

Saying that Joo Gong-hyeok went out of the forest.

Nathaniel asked cautiously from Gonghyeok’s shoulder.

– Did you suddenly change it because I told you?

“No I did what I had to do.”

In the past if it had been Joo Gong-hyeok he would have received the two quests given by Zoroaster at the same time.

‘Capture and protection of the power plant.’

It’s not that difficult if you’re like him before.

After killing all the humans that rushed at him and butchering all the relieved beasts he would have been left alone to worry.

Should I help the Four Heavenly Kings Heydrich or Vinecliff?

But that can’t be done anymore.

“Joo Gong-hyeok.”

Soma said the gray man’s head broken.

“The festival is over.”

“okay.”

There is no point in killing humans now.

For just a few coins you can turn a human into a blood clot and relieve stress by giggling.

That doesn’t mean anything.

– Giggling.

I heard Nathaniel’s familiar voice.

However Nathaniel who is tilting his head from Joo Gong-hyeok’s shoulder does not smile that way.

The angel sitting on the opposite shoulder chattered.

-What is it? Weren’t you trying to kill people while talking about saving humanity like before?

“no.”

– Then why did you do that?

Faceless Nathaniel held Joo Gong-hyeok’s ear and whispered proudly.

– You ruined me and killed people like that and said that was the way to save the world right?

“….”

– Liar~ I asked you to cry but you are a piece of human trash that killed me while laughing~ And you are an idiot who could not save the world even once~

Faceless Nathaniel giggled and disappeared.

“Joo Gong-hyeok.”

“Gonghyuk.”

“Joo Gong-hyeok!”

There were gray shadows walking after him.

“Joo Gong-hyuk protect the world for me.”

“Mr. Gonghyuk please save everyone.”

“Joo Gong-hyeok! “Did you kill me just to do something like this?”

“Gonghyuk can you make a promise instead of killing me?”

The ‘those who gathered together’ called Joo Gong-hyuk.

Over the years countless people have handed over responsibility to him.

The salvation of the world was entrusted to his hands.

‘Save the world!’

Joo Gong-hyeok wanted to save the world.

There was no hesitation because it was the right thing to do.

He wanted to be upright more than anyone else so he carved a weapon into his body.

In order to save more people I made up my mind to use it as a weapon.

Otherwise there was nothing he could save.

Soma spoke from above the pile of gray corpses.

The trampled corpses raised their heads.

“Joo Gong-hyuk you are the embodiment of salvation.”

“You are as complete as the number of humans you have killed.”

Gray shadows were infested like maggots.

The dead who had now ceased to exist captured Joo Gong-hyeok’s body.

“Now ‘the machine that saves the world’. Begin your salvation.”

“Protect the world we have entrusted to you.”

Gonghyuk stood tall.

“Protect.”

Okay!

Joo Gong-hyeok’s hand strangled the dead man.

Their necks fell to the floor like tofu.

“We will keep your promises unconditionally.”

The ‘those who have been scraped together’ are the leftovers thrown away in a world that could not be saved.

They were clearly people who made meaningless sacrifices and disappeared without meaning.

“I won’t do anything I regret anymore.”

I have committed so many regrets and sins.

The festival is over.

Tiring♪

An alarm sounded.

[The semi-permanent shortcoming “Soul Worn to the Bottom (-A)” has been deleted.]

– 50 points of permanently reduced mental ability will be restored.

– Abrupt behavior and mental instability are eliminated.

[A new advantage “Final Spiritual Armament (SS++)” is created.]

[Reflection of light. The light is brightest before it goes out.]

– Mental ability increases by 100 points.

– Willpower increases by 100 points.

– Magic ability increases by 100 points.

Nathaniel swallowed.

– He suddenly muttered to himself “What’s the new advantage?”

“It’s no big deal. “So as not to leave any regrets at the end…”

The worst traitor to humanity put on the mask of the second greatest villain and answered the angel.

“Save people and kill the devil. “I promised that.”

[Mr. Sijo (SS—-) uses the 1st ability ‘blackout’.]

A black shadow stretched out and enveloped Joo Gong-hyeok.

The shadows dispersed and Joo Gong-hyeok disappeared from the forest.

The gray dead were constantly moving their mouths.

“Save the world as promised cursed weapon.”

“Do not let our sacrifices for the world be in vain.”

“Create the right world we promised.”

“To temper you into a perfect weapon as the savior of the world we…”

Among them a woman whose body was torn like rags was sipping a drink.

“What happens to weapons?”

The eyes of the dead all turned to her.

“What?”

“I asked what happens after saving the world.”

The dead responded with eyes like dead fish.

“If a weapon saves the world our extinction will be compensated.”

“I know. By saving the world we get the least we can get in return. But…”

Non-existent alcohol flowed out of the woman’s cracked uvula.

“What happens to a man who becomes a weapon?”

“…?”

“Who will reward him for his life of becoming a weapon for hundreds of years to save the world?”

Silence spread over the dead.

It was a proposition they had never thought of before.

But soon the answer came.

“There is no reward for a weapon.”

The dead hunter cried out for reward.

“The weapon you are talking about has cruelly ruined the lives of countless people.”

The colleague who was betrayed by him said:

“Even if the weapon ultimately created a better world.”

The child who inherited his blood said.

“A weapon is a weapon.”

His mentor who had been tortured to death said:

“The weapon committed too many crimes.”

The hunter who died for compensation shed bloody tears.

“You have to be unhappy.”

“You have to suffer.”

“Forever in hellfire….”

They are the ones who were killed or abandoned by Joo Gong-hyeok.

Joo Gong-hyeok’s misfortune was their other wish.

Listening to the resentment and curses she drank the last drink.

‘That might be right.’

She silently threw the empty bottle into the air.

Cheap Johnnie Walker disappeared like smoke.

“Still my son. “I hope you feel happy after saving the world.”

Cheap liquor flowed down her cracked uvula again.

[Before I get into the main text of the book I would like to make an excuse for the title.

It’s quite funny to add excuses to a book that’s meant to be excuses but I hope readers will understand the author’s shortcomings.

Thanks to the provocative title of the book the author received great criticism from the media and academia even before the book was published. The author was heavily criticized in academia for deviating from mainstream theory and the media criticized the author for being an attention seeker and targeting noise marketing.

But I swear to heaven I had no such thoughts.

I broke away from people’s prejudices and looked at his activities over the past four years from a data perspective.

He clearly committed many evil deeds.

However the notoriety that has been passed down is exaggerated compared to his actions.

Considering the scale and frequency of victims Ymir and Skellington caused greater damage. (Please refer to the graph on 34P for specific numbers and scale.)

Nevertheless the reason he was considered the world’s worst villain was because he opposed Company’s Joo Gong-hyeok and Deus’ Christina who were considered saviors at the time.

Let’s look back at the events he participated in here.

There were incidents such as Jinhyeolgong’s shouting on the 10th floor of the uninhabited island on the 3rd floor but at that time he was just a rookie contract devil who had just come up.

His full appearance is during the attack on the company of the reaper Urben.

Due to the failure of the raid the previous King of the Four Spirits Yusuf Tendurka dies and Urben the messenger possessed by him virtually disappears putting Necropolis in danger of a counterattack by four cities.

It was Ömer Ashik who saved Necropolis from the brink of annihilation.

After collecting the ashes of the King of Death he immediately becomes the next King of Death and takes over the Necropolis. Afterwards he retreated from the city with bold decisions and skillful psychological warfare. During his escape he discovered a new city Niflheim and moved his forces there.

Deus and the four cities attacked by him declare him the main culprit of the Company attack and with this he rises to the position of the evil spirit king the enemy of all people.

The next time he appeared again was at the Knights Templar refugee incident.

Halloween Nightmare a city of evil spirits is eagerly targeting the refugees of the Knights Templar who were attacked by the Beastmen and as relief teams and Illivatus from various cities protect the refugees they ask for help from Niflheim a city of demons as well.

The Necromancer King appeared at the head of Niflheim and together with the Halloween Knightmare put pressure on the refugees of the Knights Templar.

In the process the Four Lords confronted Joo Gonghyeok and the entire city condemned Niflheim but surprisingly the casualties suffered by Niflheim and the Four Lords were almost non-existent.

The Four Spirits King only confronted Joo Gong-hyeok but the other hunters barely touched him and Niflheim only watched the refugees from a distance.

It was Halloween Nightmare who actively attacked refugees and caused terrorism in Ilibatus causing casualties.

And when Halloween’s main force is distracted from chasing the refugees the Demon King makes a strange decision.

Rather than attacking the refugees it engulfed the Halloween Nightmare which was missing its main force and escaped leisurely.

There were few actual victims and aside from the fact that he confronted Joo Gong-hyeok it was the Four Spirits King who devoured Halloween and helped calm the situation.

Since he became the King of the Four Spirits the activities of the Four Gods have decreased drastically compared to before and the number of appearances in Niflheim has decreased as it did during the Necropolis era.

Afterwards the Demon King appeared on the 39th floor and left a powerful impression by sweeping up numerous coins but the number of people he harmed was only a handful. (Although Joo Gong-hyeok was buried with numerous casualties the city’s leader said that the Death King’s murder record is unrivaled. It was lower.)

It cannot be denied that the King of Death was a despicable person who did everything he could to achieve his own growth and success until he reached the 5th floor of Babel.

However after becoming the Necromancer King rather than being hostile to mankind he appeared at the right place at the right time and fought alongside people. On the 60th floor while thousands of devil contractors turned their backs he did not join the devil’s side and gave up his life in the ‘final war’. Dedicated to humanity.

He is a wicked man and has committed many evil deeds.

This is an undeniable fact.

But now 400 years have passed. Many demonic contractors who abandoned humanity are forgotten and the only known Demon King is even bearing the stigma of something he did not do.

The author’s concerns about this are included in the main text of the book. I have attached the notes and records separately so please read them with an open mind…]

From ‘The Last Days of King Ömer Ashq and His Excuse’

* * *

“Everyone~ Let’s scratch and get out~”

Mona the cat god shouted cheerfully as she tore the face of a human warrior into pieces.

The human forces targeting the power plant were unable to come to their senses due to the sudden ambush.

Originally the Mona and Miao people were a Northern Dynasty tribe that left the power plant after receiving confirmation and letters.

They had to immediately join the Dragon God’s main force but Myoshin had different thoughts.

‘Before you have a boring snowball fight with the weak humans if you scratch some weak humans you can get a sword~ You can get a weapon~ It’s good right?’

The Miao tribe boasts mobility second only to the Demon tribe and stealth second only to the West tribe.

Myoshin Mona and the 500 elite were confident that they would attack and fall at any time.

Until just now.

“How about we just turn it off after this? Meow.”

Although the voice came from far away it sounded close to Mona a beastman as if it were just a stone’s throw away.

Mona felt the hair on her back stand up and her backbone tingle.

‘Mushura~ It’s the energy of cilantro~’

Shadows spread as if black paint had fallen into the sky.

Soon the world became so dark that it was impossible to see an inch ahead.
