Regressor Takes Everything-Chapter 137: Walpurgis Night (4)
Catastrophe level. The final destination of humans who had entered the outer road, and the strong outsiders who were in a position opposite to the S-class hunters.
It was said that it had become a disaster that threatened mankind, so it was thereby called a catastrophe. However, if all disaster-class mines were to change like that, in reality it was a little different.
‘Humanoid demon.’
The moment when all bodies were transformed into demons. There were only a few cases where only a part of the characteristics of a demon remained and returned to the human form. He called them humanoid demons and ended up being one of the few humanoid demons.
“Hmm~” That was Beatrice. Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression at the sight of Beatrice picking out wine in front of the wine cellar while humming a song. Violet hair flowing softly and the curves of the body revealed so vividly that it was dizzying to keep an eye on.
If he was a decent person, he could not stand it and had an accident. ‘It’s round.’
The situation was different for Kang Yoo-sik, who had the fraudulent skill of black lotus bloom. There came a shiny purple stone. Kang Yoo-sik put on a comfortable expression at the disparate sight, as if watching a children's broadcast.
‘I heard that all other hallucination magic has been pierced… When I see things like this, It makes me feel as if I have a skill that makes the black lotus bloom.’
The power to twist even the ‘delusion’ flowing from Beatrice. Kang Yoo-sik, who confirmed the power of black lotus flower, felt satisfied. Beatrice, who had brought wine, sat across from him. “Are you really not going to eat it?”
"Yes. I want to talk to Beatrice-sama in as clean a state as possible….”
Beatrice smiled slightly at Kang Yoo-sik's polite refusal. "That's too bad. It's nice to get drunk and mix….”
Even though he had only thrown slightly meaningful words, the black lotus flower increased the consumption of magical power. In response to that change, Kang Yoo-sik stuck his tongue out and looked at Beatrice. ‘It’s a really dirty scam.’
Delusion. Known as Beatrice's unique skill, the power, as the name suggests, had a simple yet powerful effect. It was a skill that made her possessed regardless of her gender, age, and race. Although it had no destructive power of its own, it was a power that could be used infinitely in modern society. ‘As expected, I can’t relax completely.’
Right now, she was taking it lightly because she was facing quite the interesting individual, but if she were to use it with all her might… Kang Yoo-sik, reminding himself of what kind of person Beatrice was, looked at her as she sipped her wine. “What position does Tommaso hold at Cosa Nostra?”
“There is no such thing as a specific position, but… My main responsibility is related to the external activities of the organization.”
“Outside activities… … Then we can meet more often in the future.”
“If you do, it is an infinite honor.”
Of course this response was bullshit. But now, as it was time for gilding and search battles, Kang Yoo-sik brought all sorts of rhetoric and continued the conversation. It was because, before he regressed, he found out that Beatrice liked such conversations through many times of trouble. “I feel like Tommaso knows what I like.”
Beatrice, who gently ran her fingers through the glass, smiled softly, and the consumption of mana increased again. This time, rather than natural, the amount of increase was somewhat targeted. Realizing that his turn had finally come, Yoo-sik naturally responded with a smile. “I’m sorry, but… I guess it's because there are parts that resemble me.”
“It looks like….” Beatrice, who had been rolling his answer around in her mouth, slowly stood up from her seat. Then he slowly walked forward and back, placing a hand lightly on his shoulder. Her silky hair cascaded down her shoulders, and a sweet scent wafted around her as if she had been sprayed with her cologne.
From there, the consumption of mana increased rapidly. Realizing that Beatrice had seriously used seduction, Kang Yoo-sik relaxed and erased the touch. “In what way do you think we resemble each other?”
It was a soft voice that tickled his ears. At that dangerous whisper that could drain a person's soul, Kang Yoo-sik squeezed out the water with a black lotus flower. “Isn’t that the purpose we are pursuing?”
Then, he raised his hand and lightly covered Beatrice's hand on her shoulder and answered. “The purpose is to change the group you belong to.”
“… … .”
At Kang Yoo-sik's story, Beatrice's breathing stopped, and the mana that had been escaping endlessly stopped. Beatrice's delusion, which flowed endlessly as if uncontrolled, had stopped for the first time. Suddenly, the hand that had been placed on his shoulder came up to his neck, and Kang Yoo-sik accepted the hand without resisting. Then, as she lifted his chin lightly and directed his gaze upward, those concentric blue eyes shone eerily. “On the outside, it looked like the right-hand man of such an organization… … The words he utters are not trivial at all. It doesn't even feel like an empty shell… … What a strange person.”
Gentle hands had come caressing his face. In reality, it seemed to be checking whether there was a disguise or not, but there was nothing to worry about. This was because it had been adjusted to look like the original face using black lotus flower. “Did you aim?”
This was a question with multiple implications. Kang Yoo-sik answered calmly. “I just wanted you to know.”
To be precise, he just hoped that his personality would remain the same before returning. At Kang Yoo-sik's story, Beatrice quietly looked down, and soon after, she untied her hand and returned to the seat across from her. “How did you know?”
“Since there are two apostles, it is natural that the meaning is divided into two. Especially if it’s a group like the Revelation of the Fallen.”
“Isn’t it too much to say that you figured it out with just that?”
“We investigated the edification work that Beatrice-sama was presumed to have led. To be precise, I looked into the backgrounds of those who were reformed in more detail.”
The revelation of the Fallen Heaven had the ultimate goal of creating a world of demons, but the attitude towards it was different depending on the apostle. Another apostle, Lucifer, was a real madman who wanted to corrupt all humans into demons and exterminate mankind.
However, Beatrice was a relatively normal person who took care of those who had no choice but to become demons, and that was the best. ‘Mine itself is difficult for people, but… But if I'm like that, it's worth the deal.'
Unlike Lucifer, the madman, they communicate. It was for that reason that Kang Yoo-sik had traded with Beatrice in the past, and that he had created such a place again today. “This is my first time feeling like this. I feel like I know everything, so it's unpleasant… I don't have to explain, so I think it's comfortable….”
Beatrice looked down at the sparkling wine as she slightly turned her glass, and smiled mysteriously. “So, is it all about making friends today?”
“I have one thing to tell you… Before that, there is something I would like to ask you.”
Beatrice nodded, as if asking her to do it, and Kang Yoo-sik brought up the main topic. “Is Beatrice the one who led Walpurgis Night today?”
Beatrice, who was sipping wine at Kang Yoo-sik's question, muttered as she looked down at her glass. “If I had taken the lead, it wouldn’t have opened in such a terrible state.”
Lucifer was the one who led this Walpurgis Night. Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the answer. “Then you wouldn’t be very interested in the festival being held down here.”
Beatrice looked slightly surprised at the metaphorical story about stealing the holy relic. “I didn’t know you would be paying attention to it.”
“Because I thought it would be the best way to win Beatrice-sama's favor by participating in it.”
In Korea, the influence of Lucifer, the killer group, was wiped out, and the influence was reduced. In order to make up for this situation, even the seizure of the holy relics takes place on Walpurgis Night, where Lucifer reluctantly intervened.
Perhaps Beatrice would be able to seize the reins at once. ‘Besides, this guy is the one who wants the Aaron Hebrew stolen.’
Inside the Aaron Hebrew, the item that Beatrice handed over to the Revelation of Fallen Heaven through the oath was stored. So, he couldn't take it out himself, so he tried it through others, and before returning, he requested Kang Yoo-sik to tie up a person who could steal the Aaron Hebrew as a creditor.
‘Since I received the proper compensation back then, I should take care of my share with this again.’
After that, he cut his losses neatly. Even though he was a relatively normal person, he was a revelation from the Fallen Heaven. It didn’t have to be bad, but it didn’t have to be good either. ‘It’s also the fact that they keep inviting me to become a demon.’
He was slightly tempted by the idea that his consumptive disease might be cured, but all of them refused. Rather than a grandiose reason that he didn’t want to get away from being a human, it was because he didn't seem bothered to spend money even if he became a demon.
‘What’s the use of earning money and not using it?’
Even before returning, it seemed like he earned money and didn’t spend it, but anyway, this time his body was fine, so he started cleaning things up neatly after work. While Kang Yoo-sik was organizing his thoughts, Beatrice, who had finished organizing her thoughts, slowly opened her mouth. “It is very dangerous this time. We and other organizations are serious about it.”
“So I’m thinking of just trying something simple.”
“It wouldn’t be nice to show that there is no substance.”
“Then you should try harder.” At Kang Yoo-sik's answer, Beatrice stared at him blankly, then smiled. “Do whatever you want. I just wish I could see you for a long time.”
“Thank you."
"And….” Beatrice flicked her hand to the side, pulled out a business card from the drawer with her magical powers, and placed it on the table. “If there are any results, please contact me. Then we can have a deeper relationship There will be too.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
After confirming that there was no magic on the business card, Kang Yoo-sik put it in his pocket and stood up. “Then see you next time.” He then lowered his head and went out of the room, and Beatrice, who was left alone, sipped her wine and suddenly looked at her hand.
“… … Are you the first to touch it?”
Most of them growled or flinched when approached. Beatrice stared blankly at her hand and put a new cork on the wine with a small smile. It seemed like she had gotten drunk a little faster today.

Fuquaak—!
Black teeth protruding from the ground swallowed more than half of a demon's body, and then a swinging blade decapitated him. This was a top-notch Mine who was capable of living in the underworld. That one person died in vain like a bully in his back alley. The black shadow that had eaten the enemy chewed the corpse, and the black demon that had cut off the neck returned the mutated hand like a sword and picked up the remaining corpse.
Two demons were chewing on the corpse of a dead demon. It was an act to replenish the mana and stamina consumed in this battle, and it actually returned to its original state in the blink of an eye. In addition to his innate regenerative ability, the skill he was learning maximized his recovery rate.
[Next. Seven to B-32 aisle.]
The shadow that swallowed the corpse spoke dryly, and the demon asked calmly. [What is the composition?]
[There is only one catastrophe. The rest are superlative, and judging from their movement, it is presumed to be an alliance between the two groups.]
[A little too much. They fight using their organs.]
The two of them standing in the aisle disappeared in an instant, as well as the inside of the corpse that was lying there. Those who watched the entire battle through the instruments stored in their bodies made firm faces. “Both are catastrophic and specialize in long-term warfare. To think that the revelation of the Fallen was hiding such people….”
After hearing the story of the seizure of the holy relic, five groups joined forces. All of them were confident because it had never happened before, and sending the advance party was just a confirmation in case of an unexpected situation. “Where the hell are these guys….”
“Damn it….”
However, the sight that unfolded before his eyes was horrific. The advance party, which consisted of only those who specialized in escape, was completely slaughtered, and the enemy's abilities were not properly identified. In this situation, do you fight with them in the underground full of all sorts of traps? It was a suicidal act.
“What are you going to do?”
“Entering through the rear entrance and ending it with a short-term battle….”
“Are you saying you can get through there?”
“… … .”
The person who brought out his opinion on the blunt question shut his mouth. There were two main routes to infiltrate the warehouse where the relics were stored. The first was an evacuation route made under the mansion in case of an emergency, and the second was an entrance to the rear that led straight to the warehouse. However, none of those attempting to capture today even came close to the rear entrance, as it was notorious for being impossible to attack.
“It's a magic circle that swallowed up a catastrophe-class mine even when it was maintained as one Aaron Hebrew. There are two holy relics today, so you're going to enter them now? Think about it and tell me!”
“Kuh….”
In the end, the only way was to use the evacuation route, but could they succeed with these troops? ‘It’s over.’
Even if the solidarity was strong, it was unlikely to succeed, but in this situation where they noticed each other, it was impossible to steal the holy relic. That was when they were about to conclude and give up. A huge presence approached beyond the Kugugung Forest. Everyone turned their heads in surprise at the pressure that gave goosebumps to their entire bodies, and after a while, a figure appeared. “I came because I was a bit big… Aren’t they all ragtags?”
There came a sarcastic voice and a sweltering heat. Although his true appearance was covered with a straitjacket, those who recognized him at a glance muttered in a startled voice. “Amon…!”
Amon, a cataclysmic demon that was said to be within the top five in Pandaemonium in terms of combat power. A monster that could not guarantee victory even if they all attacked together appeared here. “Tsk. Still better than the guys in front."
“What is that… … .” “
Aren’t you here to steal the holy relic?” The five of them exchanged glances in bewilderment at Amon’s straightforward question. “Don’t roll your eyes. If you didn't come here to rob in the first place, there's no reason to hide in a place like this, idiots. What are you rolling your head about?”
“That's….”
“Ah, we’re done. We are gathering troops now, so join us.”
A command, not a suggestion. The faces of the five contorted at that attitude, but Amon continued the story without blinking an eye. “By the way, I chewed up all of the idiots who refused, so you’d better think carefully before you say it.”
The story of Amon and the presence felt everywhere at the same time. The faces of the five contorted as they realized they were completely surrounded. If it was just one Amon, it would be possible to call and kill the waiting troops, but if there were other troops, it would be impossible. Realizing that they had no choice, the five exchanged glances and nodded. “Okay….”
“Then I will give you a written oath, so sign it. I didn't add anything weird, so don't worry about any hidden scams."
When Amon looked to one side, his subordinates who were waiting immediately appeared and handed over the oath, and the five of them obediently signed it. Amon, who joined another force, frowned as he looked toward the mansion where the party was in full swing. ‘These guys… … Where the hell did they borrow those guys from?’
There were too many to say that the Revelation of the Fallen had indeed been a secret power. In other words, it was highly likely that the force was supported by another bigger force, but the problem was that it was impossible to determine its affiliation. ‘It would have been easier if only the entrance to the rear was spacious.’
It was quite unpleasant to enter the trap prepared by the enemies, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t enter the passage to the rear. If this side was a fierce battlefield, the other side was an ant hell to devour fools.
‘Tsk. I can't help it.'
According to what he had heard, the passage in the back was an outlet for draining the overflowing power of the Holy Relic. It was not originally created as an entrance, so there was no need to think about it.
Organizing his thoughts, Amon looked down into the basement where he could faintly feel the vibrations. ‘I don’t know where these guys came from, but… I'll chew them all up and eat them all.'
Four of the seven territories joined, and other minor guys were also brought in. Deciding to focus on killing the relic rather than taking it, Amon twisted his mouth and moved on.
* * *
A small cave hidden away from the public eye. There was a huge iron gate at the end of the cave where no light came in, and the momentum was very bloody.
Umm—
Two holy relics were stored inside. There was a magic circle that was maintained with Aaron Hebrew and Ciriba Perea as its nuclei. The terrible magic circle that swallowed even the catastrophic demons at once became more powerful and spreads its power everywhere.
Goooo—
The entrance to the rear that was wary of even the revelation of the Fallen Heaven that created the magic circle. That was what this place was.
“I see. These bastards are so cute that they ended up rubbing against the magic circle.”
There had been a total of three people sneaking in. It was thoroughly dismantled by Kang Yoo-sik and his party.
