Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 718: Alps (3)

'Maybe she's trying to revive the devil.'

Of course, such a concern might just be nonsensical. However, as soon as I captured the image of a beast in my eyes, I instinctively reflected on what I had thought before.

He already had a form that couldn't be called human. It was no different from the appearance of the devil that I had encountered as a child.

The huge horns were hideous and ominous, and the wings on his back were twisted in a strange direction. I couldn't find the Guild Master I'd seen before even if I washed my eyes and looked for him.

However, more noticeable than its appearance were the cuts on his body.

The stench was so bad that I had to hold my breath because he was already rotting.

It was visible. He looked so tattered that I doubted he could even move.

His body was covered in black marks, and the strangely twisted figure seemed to tell how painful his death was.

'Can he really... survive?'

The surroundings were filled with hardened blood.

I could tell without touching it. It was already completely stiff. Perhaps because I witnessed a tragedy that I couldn't explain with words, I couldn't speak properly.

Why...

I felt like I knew why Cho Hyejin asked me to go with her.

'How am I...'

How was I supposed to see that?

How could we face such a tragedy? How could I face that figure with my eyes open?

When I turned my head slightly and looked up, I saw Cho Hyejin, who had an expression that was hard to describe.

I felt like I was shaking. However, after holding hands a little bit, I calmed down a little bit.

"It was more serious when I first saw him. At least now..."

"Yes. He looks much better."

When I turned to the voice that came from somewhere near, I saw someone I hadn't seen in a very long time. The first thing that caught my eye was the Holy Sword, which was established as a symbol of the warrior, and the blonde hair. The gray warrior chosen by Benignore.

It was Raphael.

"I heard that you weren't coming..."

"I changed my mind."

"Well thought out, Cho Hyejin. Oh, this is... I know you. You're Alps, right? Long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see. Raphael, if I had known you were awake, I would have gone to say hello..."

"No, I'm fine. As soon as I woke up, I headed here right away... I heard Hyung's voice looking for me."

"Hyung?"

"Yes, the Blue Vice Guild Master..."

"Oh."

"I got a message out of the blue. It's a message that said, 'Save this man. I know you can save him.'

"It's..."

"What do you say, Raphael? After that..."

"I haven't received any other messages since. It was only once right after I woke up. I didn't get any other answers about how to move or what to do, but I think I have to do this. Of course, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing now, but... This is the only duty I've got right now."
