Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 413

413―――――

No Hope

Fwoosh!―

Dan was puzzled.

Why hadn’t he noticed this crazy woman approaching right behind him?

Soon, he found the answer to his question.

Ah, this woman had been watching this dynamic scene, where everyone was constantly moving, and was looking for the perfect moment to intervene.

*I*, and my comrades, were so focused on complementing each other’s movements that we forgot the enemy might be more than just one.

“Dan!”

Ann, who was always fighting with him, urgently called out to him.

At that, Dan wanted to tell her not to make such a noise, but he couldn’t.

With his lungs completely destroyed, he couldn’t even take a breath, so there was no way he could make a sound.

Swoosh!―

Blood and flesh scattered as Dan collapsed.

A top-tier Celestial’s end was so anticlimactic.

“Ah, I got so much dirty stuff on me.”

The mysterious woman grumbled that her carefully manicured nails were dirty and she couldn’t face her husband.

Seeing that, the Celestials gritted their teeth and revealed the greatest hostility, not even shown to Kim Yu-hyun.

“Lilith!”

“Dirty whore of the Demon Realm!”

Just looking at them, one could clearly feel the animosity burning towards her.

However, Lilith was overwhelmed by the intense welcome, covering her mouth and only giggling while exuding her seductive charm.

“Dan!

Snap out of it, Dan!”

In the meantime, Ann desperately called out Dan’s name, but it was just a body that had already turned cold and was slowly turning into ashes scattered by the wind.

The power to completely destroy both the lungs and heart in one blow, the secrecy to hide until the timing and location were perfect for a surprise attack, and finally, the cruelty of simply sticking a hand in and extinguishing life without any weapon.

It was clear why Lilith was called the Succubus Queen and the highest-ranking demon.

“···Filthy things!

Like attracts like, just as they say!

Disgusting bastards!”

“Huh?

I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!

You whore!

What other reason could you have for suddenly appearing on this battlefield!

Surely, you’re plotting with those humans to defeat us, the descendants of light, and fill this continent with ugliness!

Maybe that human man is sticking his dirty thing between your legs···.”

Horn, who was excitedly shouting, suddenly fell backward as Cha and Finn, who were standing next to him, pulled him back almost simultaneously.

Before he could even ask why, he saw steam rising from where he had been standing, and he realized that Lilith had launched a surprise attack in that brief moment.

“Th, this crazy bitch!”

“Ah, sorry.

I have a habit of sneezing when I hear nonsense, and it seems like magic flew out!

It’s coming again!

A, achoo!

···Ah?

It didn’t go out this time?

Sorry!”

A series of appearances that were impossible to grasp, whether it was playfulness or madness.

The Celestials had fought Lilith a long time ago, but they still couldn’t adapt to her appearance.

“Hey, Horn.”

Suddenly, Lilith wiped the smile off her face.

With a chilling expression that seemed to freeze the blood just by looking at her, she growled as if to tear the other person apart with words.

“Watch your tongue.

I don’t care about anything else, but from now on, if you mention my crotch, I’ll tear yours apart first.

Even though I’m a succubus, it’s not like I have no purity, you know?

If you ignore that purity, I’ll become a monster then.

And, what am I doing with this man?

Me with this guy?”

Lilith glanced at Kim Yu-hyun and swung the scythe she was holding.

She didn’t feel like she was going to cut this man in half, but the size of the scythe was so ominous that just swinging it was threatening enough.

“···.”

Kim Yu-hyun, who was staring at her as if asking what she was doing with the sudden attack, sighed.

It wasn’t just anyone, it was Lilith, the woman closest to Zion, and not someone with lacking skills like the others, so he thought there must be a good reason for this behavior.

“Sorry, but I don’t eat leftovers.

Maybe if I eat my fill and throw the leftovers to someone else?”

“What does that mean···.”

“It means don’t talk bullshit.

And the reason I’m on this man’s side and attacking you?

It’s nothing special.

It’s because Kim Yu-hyun is much stronger than you.

He’s a monster who will chop up all those self-proclaimed descendants of light, so I’m with him.

I hope you don’t try to cover up your disgusting weakness with nonsense like spreading your legs or fucking?”

Lilith smiled again, making the other person lose the last thread of reason they were barely holding onto.

As expected of whose woman she was, her provocations and scratching at their insides were all top-notch.

“Ah, and!”

Suddenly raising both hands and flashing her red eyes, Lilith licked her red lips and continued.

“Didn’t you guys have something to do?

You looked so busy, but I interrupted.

Sorry!

So hurry up and do what you were doing!

I’ll do my best in my own way.”

The remaining four top-tier Celestials reacted with disbelief to Lilith’s words.

That woman had already appeared, killed one top-tier Celestial, and was going to aim for their backs at any moment, so how could they fight any further!

“What.

You’re not doing what you were doing?

You’re not?

Then there’s nothing I can do.

Now, go.

Kim Yu-hyun!

Kill them all!”

Slap!

Slap!―

“···.”

Lilith suddenly slapped Kim Yu-hyun on the back, urging him to hurry up.

Thanks to that, even Kim Yu-hyun looked at her with the question of why this woman was doing this.

It was an appearance that no one would think they had joined hands.

Because of that, the top-tier Celestials wondered if the two of them hadn’t joined hands and if that evil demon had just intervened at the right time.

But that imagination didn’t last long.

“Gasp!”

A streak of light flashed, and part of Horn’s wings was cut off.

Before the top-tier Celestial could even lift a finger, he had attacked from that distance and hit the target.

“Horn!”

“You can’t block it!

Dodge!”

They thought that was the end, but it wasn’t.

Rather, Ann screamed in horror at Kim Yu-hyun’s energy, which had become even stronger than before.

Even if they put up a barrier, nine out of ten times it would break, and everyone behind it would be hurt.

The moment everyone reflexively spread their wings and flew up at her cry, Cha sighed.

Come to think of it, wasn’t their opponent not just Kim Yu-hyun?

“You need to focus.”

Swoosh!―Thud!

It was Cha who barely managed to grab Lilith’s large scythe.

He shuddered at the thought that his body would have been completely cut in half if he had been just a little late.

“Lilith!”

Finn rushed to separate Lilith from Cha, but Lilith immediately left without any regrets, and what flew in from behind was, of course, Kim Yu-hyun’s brutal attacks.

As Kim Yu-hyun’s attack began again, the Celestials tried to fill each other’s gaps as before, attacking Kim Yu-hyun to find his weaknesses and pass them on to their allies.

Although one spot was empty due to Dan’s death, and because of that, the situation was several times more difficult and challenging than before, they had calculated that one or two could die, so they thought they could somehow deal with Kim Yu-hyun.

The problem was Lilith, who could appear anytime, anywhere.

“Damn it!”

If Lilith had revealed herself and fought like them, they wouldn’t have cursed like this.

If they could somehow hold Kim Yu-hyun in place and deal with the annoying demon first, Kim Yu-hyun could push through with numbers as he used to.

However, Lilith thoroughly erased her presence and hid, wandering around.

The Celestials wanted to find her somehow, but if they showed even the slightest gap, Kim Yu-hyun’s sword and magic would fly in with murderous intent, so they couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

Even if they deliberately showed a gap, hoping that Lilith would fall into their trap, or even in the brief gap that was revealed because of Dan’s absence while fighting Kim Yu-hyun, Lilith didn’t show herself.

It was clear that this woman was going to launch a surprise attack, but she didn’t fall into the trap, and she didn’t attack even at the timing when they thought, ‘Ah, she’s definitely going to launch a surprise attack now!’

In this way, Lilith only applied pressure without showing herself at all, which made the top-tier Celestials even more intimidated and impatient.

“Kuh, eugh!”

Eventually, Horn was cornered.

Finn and Ann were sweating as they dealt with the sword attacks coming from an unpredictable direction, and only Cha was in a situation where he could help him.

While preparing for Lilith’s surprise attack, which could come from anywhere, Cha faced Kim Yu-hyun with Horn.

Swoosh!

Clang!―

Clang!

Clang!―

He didn’t seem to be losing at all, even though he was fighting two top-tier Celestials.

Rather, he even showed a look that said, ‘Do you think you can withstand my close combat?’

In this situation, they would have waited for Finn and Ann to shake off those strange swords and join them, and then faced Kim Yu-hyun with composure.

However, the thought that Lilith might appear at any moment and pierce his back like Dan made both Cha and Horn feel a little impatient.

“···.”

Kim Yu-hyun instinctively realized that the Celestial called Horn was easier to deal with than the other.

After creating an opportunity to land a blow on Cha and immediately retreat, Kim Yu-hyun raised his momentum and quickly pushed Horn back into a corner.

“Keuk!

Kuaaak!”

Countless attacks, more numerous than raindrops, were engraved on Horn’s body.

Finn and Ann were still struggling to shake off the sword attacks, and Cha tried to get up again to save Horn, but it was obvious that he couldn’t interfere with Kim Yu-hyun alone.

“Keheok!”

Cha, who was knocked to the ground again by Kim Yu-hyun’s attack, coughed and shouted.

“Horn!

Don’t panic!

Retreat and buy time!

Don’t engage, I said don’t engage!”

In close combat, he was a monster who could easily knock down even a top-tier Celestial like himself with just one arm or leg.

Cha realized that if he panicked and went into close combat with such a human, the end result would be destruction.

That’s why he warned Horn, but unfortunately, Horn wasn’t in a situation where he could listen to Cha’s words and execute them.

Lilith might attack from behind at any moment.

Since he had provoked her the most, he would surely have his back pierced by her cruel hand and meet a miserable end like Dan.

The only way to avoid such a surprise attack was to keep the distance with this man as close as possible, so that this man would not be free from Lilith’s surprise attack either.

Therefore, unlike Cha’s words, Horn was not only not distancing himself from Kim Yu-hyun, but was instead engaging in a melee with him, giving Kim Yu-hyun the perfect distance.

“No!

Create distance!”

Cha screamed and tried to get up and fly back to Kim Yu-hyun, but the situation had already ended there.

‘Foolish.’

Strong, outstanding, maybe he would have enjoyed the *yoyu* [余裕, Japanese for composure] if he had fought with others.

But the opponent he was competing with now was none other than Kim Yu-hyun himself.

He hadn’t been pushed back at all against the five top-tier Celestials in front of him, and it would have been a miracle if he had survived while struggling with just one, even in the distance that Kim Yu-hyun liked the most.

Swoosh!―

The moment he deliberately showed a gap and Horn instinctively aimed for that gap to survive.

Kim Yu-hyun clicked his tongue and deflected his attack, and at the same time, he cut off both of his hands, which had become completely defenseless.

“Kuaaak!

Kaaak!”

Red blood gushed out every time his heart beat.

Cha, realizing that Horn’s life was in danger, narrowed the distance to save him, but at that moment, a sweet whisper that had been silent until now lingered in his ear.

“You mustn’t interfere?”

Swoosh!―

Cha quickly twisted his body to avoid Lilith’s attack, which was rushing in as if to cut off his shoulder and torso, leaving only a scar on his cheek.

However, because of that, Horn’s last lifeline was cut off, and Horn, who had his wrists cut off and couldn’t even resist properly, was neatly cut in two from his groin to the top of his head by Kim Yu-hyun’s merciless attack.

Thud!

“···.”

Two of those who seemed like they would never fall had already fallen.

Both of them met a tragic and miserable end.

It was a death that even monsters wouldn’t face, let alone the Celestials, who were called descendants of light.

“Wow.

He cut it off very cleanly.

Look, no blood splattered.

I guess it’s because he cut it off while searing it with magic.

It’s not like he’s only cut it off once or twice?”

Cha gritted his teeth at Lilith’s sincere mockery.

Even Finn and Ann were being pushed back by the sword attacks, but Kim Yu-hyun withdrew them and even got out of danger.

“H, Horn too!”

“This can’t be, this can’t be··· God, light···.”

The faces of those who had thought they could still win at first were now shadowed.

Even if they were pushed back in a 1:1 battle, they thought they could easily subdue him if five top-tier Celestials worked together.

But what was unfolding before their eyes was a monster who didn’t show even a hint of hesitation or difficulty in that collaboration, and instead pushed them back with pure skill.

Swoosh―

Kim Yu-hyun, who neatly shook off the blood on his sword, looked at the remaining top-tier Celestials with his cold eyes.

Cha, Finn, and Ann.

Finn and Ann almost swallowed hard at how chilling his emotionless gaze was.

“Pitiful.

It makes me think of those who will die fighting in that place, trusting in these guys.”

It was clear mockery, but Cha, Ann, and Finn couldn’t say anything.

In front of a man who not only endured against five, but also faced them with *yoyu* [余裕, Japanese for composure].

The three top-tier Celestials, now reduced to three, couldn’t say anything.

“Just in case, don’t run away.

This is the state even against five bastards, so it’s too obvious what kind of end awaits you if you run away to survive.”

“Shut up, shut up!

Shut up!”

A very clear thing called provocation was added to the heart that was shaking with fear, and in the end, Finn couldn’t stand it and threw herself forward.

Ann and Cha couldn’t stop her, but they could only grit their teeth and follow her to attack again.

As Kim Yu-hyun said, the future was obvious even if they ran away to survive now.

In that case, their decision was to somehow wound this monster and make him unable to move, or even die together.

“Disgusting things, but at least you’re not disgusting until the end.”

He was worried that he would feel very dirty if they ran away, and that he would unleash unnecessary ruthlessness and not show mercy in his actions, but fortunately, not a single one defected and they all rushed at him.

“Don’t get swept away.

You’re in the way.”

A warning not to interfere any further in one word.

At Kim Yu-hyun’s words, Lilith shrugged as if to tell him to go and do his best.

Shoo-aak!―

Along with two sword attacks, a streak of light poured in to cut off the wings of those who called themselves descendants of light.

―――――――Afterword―――――――

Kim Yu-hyun needs a nerf
