Damned 13th Regression – 256
by Jessie@AFNCC
<Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 256>
But you have to find the right answer.
The correct answer is not in the strategy book that has been carefully written over hundreds of years.
‘Is this just improvisation from here?’
You must make the right choice based on the past.
Otherwise everyone will die and the world will perish.
‘It’s a familiar thing.’
So Gonghyeok Joo thought carefully and spoke.
“Why don’t we join hands again now Dragon God?”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“You don’t like it? Don’t show off. “Before we all die.”
I felt Nathaniel’s hair standing next to me.
Nathaniel whispered softly as if he were embarrassed.
“You turned…”
A golden flash in sight.
Joo Gong-hyeok’s wrist flew away with a crunching sound.
“Tsk.”
He quickly transformed the severed prosthetic hand into a knife and aimed it at the guardian spirit’s neck again.
“The hand that was supposed to hold this thing flew off.”
“Do I who can wipe you all out if I want to have the guts to grant such a request?”
The dragon god who had blown off Joo Gong-hyeok’s wrist without even moving a single movement made his only remaining pupil shine.
Joo Gong-hyeok grinned.
“Why are you talking so much? “I’m a dog that barks a lot but you also have an excessively long snout right?”
Joo Gong-hyeok slowly twisted his head in doubt.
“Why? “You can kill me as much as you want so why don’t you kill me?”
‘Is something wrong?’

‘Or are you afraid of something about me?’
‘Or…’
Joo Gong-hyeok lightly slit the guardian spirit’s neck.
Blood flowed along the blade and up to my elbow.
“Is this guy more important than I imagined?”
“If you think that way you can kill me.”
The dragon god’s voice rang out.
“Losing a brother with whom you were related by blood is sad but it can’t be helped.”
Joo Gong-hyuk was sure.
It’s a bluff.
That transcendent dragon god is now bluffing.
‘It’s too long again.’
If the actual number of guardian spirits is not important you can just blow off Joo Gong-hyeok’s head.
But instead of killing him he keeps trying to talk to me.
What does the dragon god want?
Why do you keep trying to talk?
Joo Gong-hyeok’s eyes narrowed.
“By any chance… didn’t you want me to run away on my own? Begging for your life? Did that mean the plan went awry because it didn’t work out that way?”
「….」
The dragon god disappeared from sight.
At the same time Joo Gong-hyeok lowered himself.
A creepy place to live.
A golden blade grazed my neck.
Kwasik!
Joo Gong-hyeok’s arm which was holding the Guardian Spirit Beast was cut off.
I was barely able to avoid it because I prioritized my arms over my neck.
‘Has floating over crossed the line?’
But I expected it.
If the Dragon God attacks the target is the neck and heart.
And left arm.
In particular they will steal the guardian spirit beast on the left arm.
[Control of combat arms – 『Joo Gong-hyeok』]
A platinum-colored prosthetic hand sprouted from the waist and grabbed the guardian angel’s leg.
The dragon god who was pulling the guardian god beast by the shoulder looked back at Joo Gong-hyeok.
The two faced off while holding the guardian angel’s arms and legs as if in a tug-of-war.
“Yahoo. Stop it. “If we two fight over a pineflower this guy will 100% die.”
A sudden takeover attempt.

Have you looked into the Dragon God’s inner thoughts too much?
However this has been confirmed.
The guardian spirit is Joo Gong-hyeok’s lifeline.
The moment the guardian spirit was taken away everyone including Joo Gong-hyeok was annihilated.
Negotiation does not work.
The angry dragon god’s eyes shone.
“Let go. “Otherwise I’ll cut you in two right away.”
‘You’re bluffing again.’
Joo Gong-hyeok grinned.
Who says bluff?
“If you’re going to kill me then kill me. Instead we will take at least one more beastman including the guardian spirit beast as a package to the underworld.”
Joo Gong-hyeok a master of bluffing with 300 years of bravado spoke skillfully.
The beastmen who surrounded Joo Gong-hyeok ground their teeth.
“You traitor!”
“You can say anything with your mouth open!”
The warriors each drew their weapons.
Joo Gong-hyeok looked back at them leisurely.
“Even if you kill me it won’t end there. Rather it is the beginning. First I will somehow take the time and call Eindorf the vampire who killed Archangel Remiel. “He’s stronger than me.”
“so. “Can you two defeat me?”
“Oh don’t worry. Because I have no intention of playing with Eindorf. Instead after I die he will target this city. Dragon God I will order you to attack whenever you are away. With the Dimensional Machine God and the Gishin Tribe.”
Joo Gong-hyeok shrugged his shoulders with both arms cut off.
“Dragon God. I won’t fight with you. Neither the Dimensional God nor the Progenitor Eindorf will fight you. Instead I will kill all the beastmen except you. If you go to kill the Dimensional God you are welcome. Because the progenitor will destroy your city. If you go to catch Sijo that is also welcome. “The Gishin tribe and Dimension Gishin will rain missiles on your city.”
The dragon god’s will was spread as if it were ridiculous.
“Do you think I can tolerate something like that?”
“Then why don’t you kill me right away?”
Mutual destruction strategy.
Mutually Assured Destruction.
Yongshin can almost certainly kill Joo Gonghyeok.
Joo Gong-hyuk understood this and declared that he would destroy everything in Yongsin.
Yongshin’s threats and Joo Gonghyeok’s threats intersected.
‘I don’t know if it’s really possible.’
Will Sijo the avatar continue to operate even after Joo Gong-hyeok dies?
Will Dimension Kishin get revenge for the already dead Joo Gong-hyeok?
Joo Gong-hyuk doesn’t know either.
But what is important is the perception of the recipient.
When it comes to threats only the person who accepts them has to feel that it is the ‘truth’.
Even if the threat is not real you must use courage and bravado to stimulate the opponent’s imagination and make it feel like a bigger threat than it actually is.
‘At first I thought even this was meaningless. I guess not.’
Joo Gong-hyeok was instantly overwhelmed by the presence shown by Yongshin.
This bravado is meaningless if the Dragon God destroys the Dimensional Machine with one blow and does not give him time to summon Eindorf.
But when you look this close you can see the inside of the dragon god hidden in its dazzling brilliance.
An arm that was unnaturally joined a torn vocal cord a chest with a large hole showing through a broken horn and a caved-in skull a flash of golden light shining through an empty eye socket.
There was a strange sense of discomfort in the body that seemed to be made of rags.
There is something wrong with Yongshin now.
‘But the provocations and pretense stop here.’
You must not make Yongshin give up on negotiations.
The moment when the dragon god who believes that his weakness has been revealed decides that it would be better to kill him and hide it.
‘It’s extermination.’
I don’t know what the Dragon God’s weakness is but there is no lie in its power.
The moment Joo Gong-hyeok and Yong-shin cross the line the worst results occur.
If Joo Gong-hyeok and the guardian spirit die and Progenitor Eindorf moves as ordered the city and external raiders will continue to be attacked and the beast people will be in danger of destruction.
It is doubtful whether the remaining humans will be able to overcome the black-helmeted warriors and the Gishin tribe who has lost the central point of Joo Gong-hyeok may be captured by the Demon King.
In that case the only person who will laugh is Bel Marduk the demon king who took on the role of a fisherman.
“What a crazy person! What is it! really!”
With a face that looked like he was about to cry Nathaniel picked up the severed arm and attached it to Joo Gong-hyeok.
The prosthetic hand regenerated and Joo Gong-hyeok who clenched his fist a few times extended his hand to Yongshin.
“Either join the Dragon God Alliance. Either we all die together. “You have to choose.”
Bang!
“Stop that bullshit!”
The tiger-headed lieutenant stepped forward and scolded.
“You traitorous bastard! “Do you think we would fall for that type of threat?”
“Come! “Whether you are a kishin or a vampire feel free to come!”
“It is the shame of the beast people to be afraid of fighting!”
The chieftains including Hu Guan rushed forward.
“Try to kill me right away? “I’ll kill you right away.”
“How dare you pull out your tongue for deceiving us…”
Pagagak!
The black line drew a crack on the ground.
“Quiet.”
Liang Xian said stretching out his black lines.
“Don’t let frivolous things get into your owners’ conversations.”
“Yahuhan—! “Just give orders!”
“Get these guys right away!”
The cries of the chieftains were not heard in Joo Gong-hyeok’s ears.
I only focused on the flow of mind flowing from the Dragon God.
The first emotion that came out of the Dragon God was laughter.
And murderous intent.
Joo Gong-hyeok felt the shadow of death.
‘Was it wrong?’
Was it a miscalculation?
In the first place the Dragon God may have become a transcendent being that has no weaknesses and is not afraid of even Dimensional Machine Gods or Demon Lords.
But then I felt the emotions of the Dragon God.
‘Nervousness.’
And worry anger regret resignation.
A wave of complex emotions that could not be hidden flowed.
Joo Gong-hyeok who escaped from the shadow of death smiled in remorse.
“It’s an alliance. Dragon God.”
The Dragon God nodded heavily and slightly.
“…I accept it. Leave your guardian spirit and go away.”
“You won’t say anything once you take one bite right?”
The dragon god’s dim eye glow spread a quiet deadly glow.
“I Yahuhan the eldest son of Solguru the head guardian spirit of the twelve grassland tribes and the dragon maiden Amir swear by the sky and the grasslands of the beast people. Joo Gong-hyeok if you leave behind the sacred tree Pineflower I won’t go hunting after you like a wild cat when you turn your back.”
The dragon god who made the oath turned to Azazel.
“If you have any doubts about the oath made in my name ask the angel next to you to guarantee it. “You can open the portal and leave under her protection.”
“Well if you say that much I have to believe it.”
Joo Gong-hyeok put down his guardian angel while spraying.
[Dimension leap magic “Messenger of Dominion” activated.]
At the same time he quickly disappeared out of the city without receiving help from Azazel.
The master muttered as he looked at the spot where they had disappeared.
“Did you run away?”
“Yahoo! Why did you just let them go? “What is an alliance?”
Hu Guan’s shouts were soon drowned out by shouts.
“Mushin—!”
“Yahuhan—!”
“Heavenly Dragon—!”
“Yahuhan—!”
Regardless of the Northern or Southern dynasties everyone shouted loudly the name of Yahou Han who had defeated the foreign enemy.
A transcendent miracle shown by protecting the people of the fearsome divine power that punished those who invaded the city from disaster.
After many twists and turns the Great War of the New World gave birth to Yahuhan the absolute hero of the beast people.
Yahuhan stood in the middle of nowhere and heard a voice calling to him.
* * *
Yongsinseong Fortress Basement.
The person hurriedly followed after Yahoo.
“Yahuhan Heavenly Dragon. Where are you going!”
The speaker’s tone changed to completely polite.
It was an attitude toward God not toward colleagues or close friends.
Yahuhan pursed his lips then covered his mouth and drew a sentence in the air.
“I’m going to enter the closed pipe training.”
“At a time like this training in the closed pipe requires the guidance of the Heavenly Dragon in order for the twelve tribes of the Northern and Southern Sects to truly become one!”
Suddenly the dug out muscles and a large hole were visible to Shin Shin’s eyes.
“No at least get treatment first…”
“There is no need for treatment.”
“If you go into closed-gwan training when will you come out?”
“When the time comes.”
As I followed him I felt an eerie sense of discomfort.
Yahuhan was walking but there was not even a trace of his footsteps.
Like someone who has already transcended the world and escaped reason.
Rumbling─
The door to the abandoned training building opened without any touching.
“if….”
Just before entering the training building I looked back at where Yahoo Han was.
“If I can’t come out the next boss is the guardian spirit Pine Baragi. Follow him.”
“…!”
thud!
Before the person could reply the door to the training building closed.
“Heavenly Dragon what the hell….”
The person looked at the closed door in despair.
* * *
After closing the door to the training building Yahuhan put up the scimitar and sat cross-legged.
The golden light slowly faded from his body.
As the light disappeared a miserable trace was revealed.
A shriveled brain was reflected in the empty pupil where Yeouibong came in and out and pieces of broken bone fell near the heart where the guardian spirit had cut out.
A long silence continues….
Clink─
The scimitar slipped and fell.
Silence dominated the dark room with not a single sound of breathing.
