Worthless Regression Chapter 340

————————————==

Episode 342 81. Purification (1)

Leaving Baek So-go asleep from crying, Lee Seong-min woke up. My emotions were fluctuating.

Listening to Baek So-go’s tears, the words she spoke, and the sobs and sobs. Seongmin Lee sympathized with Baek Sogo’s feelings.

How small is one human being in this huge world.

How helpless a single human being is in the destiny that guides the entire world.

Even Sima Lianju, who had such great power, could not avoid death.

Although he achieved enlightenment at the last moment and escaped from this world, Sima Lianzhu overcame his own fate but could not overcome the fate of this world.

It was the same for Heo Joo. At least, when he was alive as a youkai… … He could not avoid his own death.

Because it was decided that way. Because it has to be that way. Yes, that is fate.

When I realized it again. Lee Seong-min’s body trembled lightly with fear beyond his will.

The end is an unchangeable outcome that ‘absolutely’ cannot be done.

Everything I’ve done so far, no, apart from ‘me’. Everything that people in this world have done is for a purpose, and when that happens, the world will end regardless of the will of those who lived here.

It is natural for Baek Sogo to despair. Because her beliefs were the exact opposite of destruction.

Not only Baek Sogo, but also countless people who have their hopes in the ‘future’ will also despair like Baek Sogo.

but.

Even if one human being is a small being in this huge world. Even if one human being is powerless in the destiny that guides the entire world.

Nevertheless, fate changes. It can change. Right now, the very presence of Lee Seong-min here was proof that fate could change.

Even if that was the devil’s intention. If we could create countless small variables, starting with rebelling against the huge and absolute flow of fate.

As long as variables are added to variables and the will to defy fate is not broken. Destiny can be changed.

Lee Seong-min wanted to believe that. Sima Lianju changed the fate of death into escaping from this world.

Lee Seong-min’s spirit, which should have been awakened and extinguished by the Slaughter Predation, survived as a result of adding variables to the variable, and with the help of the demonic spirit, reversely changed it to extinguish the Slaughter Predation.

Destiny can be changed.

can be changed into… … There must be. If not, what Lee Sung-min has done so far.

Abel’s death, Sima Lianju’s death… … Because it would all be meaningless.

“You can change it.”

Lee Seong-min muttered to Baek So-go, who was sleeping soundly. He absolutely had to. So that the deaths of Abel and Sima Lian-ju are not meaningless. So that Wijihoyeon’s actions, which are still floating around, are not meaningless.

First, Baek Sogo’s addiction must be treated.

Think about the other person. Vampires with Jennyella as their leader. Her higher-ranking blood relatives are comparable to, or even better than, the Six Exalted Ones of Heaven and Earth.

Additionally, there is Joowon, a lycan slope. Nero, whom I met in Cheped. He was said to be Joo Won’s henchman.

The guy didn’t try to fight Lee Seong-min, but if he had risked his life by attacking him, Lee Seong-min would have been quite annoyed.

That’s how strong Nero was. How many more Lycan Slopes are there under Joo Won that are as strong as Nero?

Fortunately, most of the Predator’s youkai group fell under Yana’s control after the Red Demon’s death.

Strictly speaking, Yana did not collect them. From the beginning, Yana did not try to manage the herd except by killing the enemy demon.

However, it was originally the territory of the Red Ghost, one of the Predator’s black stars and the leader of the monsters.

Whether Yana wanted it or not, by killing the Red Ghost, she became the master of the demons and the monsters that followed the Red Ghost.

And because Yana refused to join the Predator, the place of the strange monsters disappeared from the Predator.

But even if youkai no longer belongs to the Predator. There are Death Knights and there are Warlocks.

Now that Bolander and Arbes have disappeared, and Kim Jong-hyun has been banished from time and space. They cannot be said to be as powerful as Vampires or Lycanslopes.

However, just because they are relatively weak does not mean that they are weak compared to humans.

Even if Bolander died, the hundreds of Death Knights would not be able to handle any place except for the shamans with Geomseon or Cheongmyeong among the nine factions.

The same goes for lichs. The black magic practiced by tens or hundreds of lichs can be said to be difficult in the sense that they do not know what magic they are using.

In comparison, Seongmin Lee has few colleagues. Lee Seong-min also knew well that he couldn’t do it alone.

No matter how strong he was, he didn’t have the confidence to handle just Zeniella, and if he expanded the scope to include the numerous outsiders led by Zeniella, it would be absolutely impossible.

That’s why you need colleagues. Yana, who does not want Heo-ju to die, also does not want Lee Seong-min to die.

In the future, Yana will stay by Lee Seong-min’s side and help him overcome danger in order to prevent him from dying.

Scarlett would also help Lee Sung-min if asked. What Lee Sung-min wants to do is prevent the end.

Among those living in this world right now, how many of them would not cooperate in preventing the end of the world?

‘but… … ‘Musin is not allowed.’

Musin is the puppet of the divine spirit. The spirits are waiting for the end. But, what if it’s the Black Dragon Association and the Spear King?

It’s a problem that I don’t know where those two are, but if I could meet them. You will be able to get help from both of them.

But rather than that, treating Baeksogo comes first.

I had to meet Teresa.

next day. Seongmin Lee opened his eyes early in the morning. He had already told Jana and Scarlett the night before that he was going to see Teresa.

Yana said she would go with her, but going into the shrine with her as a youkai was highly likely to cause problems big or small.

Yana also understood this, so she said she would not go together this time. Scarlett decided to stay by Baek Sogo’s side.

It’s easier to do things like this alone. Seongmin Lee slowly left the place.

“Priests.”

Baek So-go’s voice made Lee Seong-min stop. It wasn’t the sound of someone who had just woken up.

Since when have you been awake and not sleeping anymore? When asked that question, Baek Sogo slowly raised his body from where he was lying down and smiled bitterly.

“… … “I’m ashamed of my disgrace the day before.”

“It wasn’t indecent.”

“That’s how I felt… … Priests. I’m sorry… … thank you.”

“… … no.”

“… … It can be changed, the priest said. I am… … “I will believe it.”

“yes.”

“… … thank you.”

Maybe it’s because I cried so much last night. Baek Sogo’s eyes were red and bloodshot. Seongmin Lee answered Baek Sogo’s words with a faint smile.

“Please wait.”

The new palace leaves Deven, where Zhuge family is in the south. A city located in the prosperous Namhae at the southern tip. It is in ‘Prabakh’.

Prabakh is a city of faith. Religions from other dimensions that settled in Eria were transformed to be able to live in this world, and the transformed religions no longer rejected other religions.

In this way, faiths from all levels, united and united under the name ‘Church’, blossomed in Prabakh.

The shrine was a symbol of the church. In the shrine, the periodically elected pope of the church lived, as well as numerous holy knights and priests, and the saint Teresa.

Seongmin Lee has never been to Prabakh. However, I had a lot of experience visiting cities that were relatively close to Prabakh.

Neither Deven nor Germud. It’s not far from Prabakh. At Lee Seong-min’s speed, he would be able to reach Prabakh in less than a day.

Early in the morning, Lee Seong-min rode a fairy horse and leaped through space. Perhaps thanks to the passage of time, when he arrived in Germud he did not feel as nauseous or dizzy as he did yesterday. But there was discomfort. This was because his middle term was too short.

Even before the discomfort goes away. Lee Seong-min opened his eyes and ran far away. The straight-line distance to Prabach, which he had heard from Nevel in advance, gave Lee Seong-min the direction in his head.

* * *

The shrine is open only on Sundays of the week. It is not always open, and you cannot enter or leave the castle outside of designated times.

There, only those who are worthy and truly earnest can receive blessings and purification from the high priests.

The road leading to the shrine was crowded with people. The shrine is a symbol and sacred place of the church.

There are very few non-religious people in Prabakh. People who are blind to religion visit this city for pilgrimage and line up to enter the shrine, which opens once a week.

Thanks to running without stopping, I arrived a little after noon. Seongmin Lee stood at the end of a long line.

The shrine was a white castle worthy of its name. Lee Seong-min glanced at the shallowly opened gate and estimated the distance.

The number of people who can enter the shrine is limited. Most people can’t get in and have to wait for next week.

Of course, Lee Seong-min had no intention of doing that. Although he honestly felt sorry for those waiting in line. Seongmin Lee’s body disappeared. He quietly crossed over people’s heads without even causing a breeze, and penetrated the cracks in the tightly closed doors of the castle.

I felt a twinge. Something stimulated my senses.

[You got caught.]

No matter how fast and stealthy Lee Seong-min’s movements are. It is impossible to penetrate the magic boundary.

I can’t help it. Even Lee Seong-min knew that there would be a limit to magic. He also knew that there was no escape. To some extent, this is as Lee Seong-min intended.

After passing through the castle gate, he passed through several detection spells. Every time he did that, he felt a tingling sensation and resistance to the sensation. Seongmin Lee stopped in a deserted place. And then he waited quietly.

Soon, the Holy Knights came flocking in. They wore priestly robes instead of armor, but held weapons. Before they could ask who it was, Seongmin Lee spoke first.

“I am a ghost.”

He did not hide his identity.

Seongmin Lee killed Volander, the Death Knight Lord. Demon King Kim Jong-hyun also fell to Lee Sung-min.

Strictly speaking, it was not Lee Sung-min who killed Kim Jong-hyun, but the rumor that started in the church continued that way for 10 years.

The church could have hidden it well, but it didn’t hide it. The church was honest.

The church was open about what happened in Germud.

Lee Seong-min believed in the church to some extent.

“I came because I wanted to apologize for something that happened 10 years ago.”

Also, a small favor. Seongmin Lee didn’t bother to say anything about it. The agitation among the Paladins spread.

Seongmin Lee was in no hurry and waited. Because I know that if I can finish the job smoothly, it’s best to do so.

“Theos will come in person.”

After some time has passed. One of the Holy Knights spoke to Lee Seong-min in a cautious voice. Seongmin Lee came up with the name without difficulty.

Theos.

As the leader of the Silver Knights, he led the paladins in Germud 10 years ago.

Seongmin Lee read the emotions expressed in the gaze directed at him. Awe, mystery, fear. In their view, Lee Seong-min was a person known to have died 10 years ago, a warrior who defeated the Death Knight Lord and the Demon King, and an unlucky hero who went crazy at the end of it.

“Lee Seong-min.”

The group of paladins split into two sides.

10 years have left some marks on Theos. Well, the only thing that happened was that there were some fine wrinkles.

He approached Lee Seong-min with a friendly smile, the same as 10 years ago. There was no fear in the hand extended for a handshake.

“Long time no see.”

“… … yes.”

Seongmin Lee held Theos’ hand.

“I heard that you opened your eyes.”

“Has the rumor already spread here?”

“The Murim warriors who suffered harm in Germud are staying in this city.”

Theos said that and let go of Lee Seong-min’s hand. He slowly turned around and said:

“Let’s go together for now.”

“yes.”

Theos walked ahead. Seongmin Lee slowly walked behind Theos.

“I apologize for what happened 10 years ago… … la.”

“At that time, I went crazy. So, I heard that various things were happening.”

“… … “Are you okay now?”

“yes.”

“If you’re okay… … “Can you hear what happened then?”

“Kim Jonghyun… … He cast such a spell on me before he died. I couldn’t avoid it. In the end, I was sealed by my sister-in-law, and now, 10 years later, I have opened my eyes.”

“ah… … okay.”

Theos didn’t seem to doubt Lee Seong-min’s words. Seongmin Lee spoke slowly.

“I want to meet Teresa.”

“For an apology?”

“A small favor.”

Theos tilted his head at those words.
