Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 770: The Last (3)

I definitely...

[Live.]

Heard a voice.

"..."

[Don't torture yourself anymore. You no longer have to carry that pain. Put your burden down completely and live the life you want. You deserve a happy one.]

"..."

I definitely heard it.

[You are the person who deserves a life happier than everyone else. Don't hate yourself. Don't blame yourself. No one will blame you. The achievements of saving thousands of people living on this land and those who will live on this continent in the future will be remembered in their hearts and souls for a long time. Until the day the continent disappears, all the creatures of the gods will bless you.]

I slowly raised my upper body. A faint light was gradually filling up the dark room. It constantly flickered, almost as if someone turned the lamp off and on.

The thought of having heard it wrong by any chance passed through my head, but it clearly wasn't an illusion.

The voice felt like it was resonating in my soul, not in my mind. It reverberated all over my body, then began to enter me over and over again.

"Al... tanus?"

[It was a long battle. It must have been a particularly fierce struggle for you.]

"No, Benignore?"

[It was a tough day, was it not? You lost a lot and got mixed into an unwanted battlefield. At that moment, you had to grow through pain and trials. You have survived those hard and difficult times and have saved many. I praise you for your struggles, your spirit of sacrifice, your courage, and your brilliant glow. I would like to express my sincere respect for all that you have overcome.]

"Altanus... Benignore... No, it doesn't matter who... If you are watching, please, make me regress... please. Benignore."

A faint light continued to illuminate the darkness.

"Please... please. Benignore. Please..."

[The continental threat has completely disappeared. Now there is no reason for you to suffer or to make new sacrifices. There's no reason why you should start your hellish life all over again.]

"The place where I am now... this is hell. Just give me one more chance. Please... If that's impossible, kill me... please... as painfully as possible. So that I can feel terrible pain..."

The faint light continued to illuminate the darkness.

[I cannot accept your request. I sympathize with the difficult time you're having. However, you will surely be able to face the great sadness and stand up. You will be able to get on your feet and live a happy life.]

"Don't be ridiculous..."

[You deserve it.]

"You know I don't deserve it..."

The faint light continued to illuminate the darkness.

[No. You deserve it.]

"You know what I have done... You know I've done something that I shouldn't have."

[It's not your fault. No one will blame you.]

"Don't be ridiculous. Don't be..."

[He, too... won't blame you.]

"Shut up! You... you know nothing."

[I swear he won't blame you either. He wants you to be happy. He expects you to put everything away and live a new life free from the bondage and guilt of the past. I look forward to the life you will live, and the days you will experience in the future.]
