Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 209

209―――――

I apologize.

Something unfortunate happened at home, so I must leave!

Humans without wings, conviction, or even a noble belief in the light.

However, Shiel knew well the teaching that such humans should never be underestimated.

Beings that, as easily as they are stained, can possess the power to dare to reach the heavens.

Therefore, Shiel, while appearing relaxed, never let her guard down.

‘But, but how on earth…!’

Unconsciously stepping back, she let out a groan of pain and touched her shoulder.

To be precise, she was feeling the spot where her wings used to be, behind her shoulder.

The place where soft feathers should have been felt empty, and instead, her hand was covered in bright red blood.

“Too bad.

I could have blown away your neck along with it.”

Kim Yu-hyun flicked off the red blood of the celestial being from his sword, muttering in an extremely cold tone devoid of any laughter.

The sight was so chilling that Shiel swallowed hard.

‘What, what is this?

How can a mere human possess such tremendous energy….’

For a moment, she thought she was facing the highest-ranking demon.

A human man standing there with just a sword in his hand, without anything special.

However, Shiel felt as if a huge demon was behind him.

What had seemed like human eyes just a moment ago now felt devoid of any emotion.

Yes, it was like looking at a monster that didn’t even possess reason.

“Now that I’ve torn off one wing, you won’t be able to fly.”

Thud!

Kim Yu-hyun threw the celestial being’s wing in his hand to the ground.

Not only had he cut off the wings, which could be said to be the pride of the celestial beings, but he even threw them on the ground, so it wouldn’t have been strange for Shiel to burst out in anger, but she wasn’t foolish enough to lose control of her anger even in a life-or-death situation.

Rather, she was clearly contemplating what to do against this unidentified powerhouse.

Whoosh!

“Gasp?”

In the blink of an eye, literally in the moment of blinking.

The opponent’s figure disappeared in an instant, becoming a blue aura flying right in front of her.

Shiel narrowly avoided his attack by leaning back, but her body’s balance was completely thrown off, and she ended up falling to the ground.

Even though it was the celestial being, who was supposed to be noble, rolling on the dusty ground, Shiel didn’t even have time to show such a thing.

As soon as she fell, Kim Yu-hyun’s next attack came like a downpour.

‘Damn it!

Where did such a human come from!

Where!’

The celestial beings knew almost everything about the continent in detail through the fairy race, who called themselves the descendants of the celestial beings, and through the disciples of light.

Which countries were more obedient to the celestial beings and the teachings of light, where there were those who did not accept the teachings of light, and who would be obstacles when the glorious horn was blown later.

All that information!

And that information clearly included Hispania.

A powerhouse in the western part of the continent, the nation that ended Nudia’s heyday, which had once been on the verge of becoming an empire, and was now rapidly addressing and resolving various problems of the kingdom, and was even being evaluated as being on the verge of another renaissance.

However, unfortunately for the celestial beings, it was the furthest from the Holy Prusia and had a rather awkward relationship with Nudia, which could have been a passage, so the propagation of the teachings of light was quite delayed.

What could be said to be fortunate was that the teachings of light were propagated to Hispania through maritime trade with the Holy Prusia, and now there were quite a few disciples in Hispania, especially since those disciples were not the poor or powerless, but a large number of people who could exert quite an influence socially.

Through the information they sent, and even combined with what the fairies active in Hispania sent.

The celestial beings had once concluded that Hispania would be the most resistant when purifying the continent later.

―There is not enough time to enlighten even the humans of Hispania with the teachings of light.

Enlightenment will only proceed up to Nudia, and from then on, they will conflict and divide themselves, and those who believe will attack and eliminate those who do not believe.

―

The final result for Hispania.

Accordingly, work to shake Hispania was rapidly proceeding.

A sudden attack on the royal palace made the royal family and nobles suspect each other, and monsters were mobilized to eliminate the Clausen family, a human noble family that was said to be Hispania’s solid shield, and Nudia decided to break down the wall in front.

At the same time, an operation was underway to mobilize monsters all the way to the northern mountains to devastate northern Hispania, and as a final blow, pirates were released on the maritime trade routes that supported the south, which was said to be the wealthiest region, to shake the kingdom’s economy.

If all sorts of chaos arise in a country, and bad things happen every time, anyone would think of it as a punishment from a transcendent being that they cannot control, and at the same time, they would beg that being for mercy.

By doing so, even without propagating the teachings, they would make them follow the path of light on their own, and the final thing was to plant ardent disciples in Hispania who would throw those who refused to follow that path into the fire.

‘But suddenly, a human called a hero appeared and said he was interfering with everything.’

I don’t remember the name well.

Why should I remember the name of a man who is just a human from my point of view?

However, one thing was certain: that hero was currently the worst obstacle for the celestial beings and an enemy who was ruining all their plans.

So much so that they even wondered if that man might be a demon, or a demon follower, or even a heinous traitor who had turned away from the teachings of light.

‘But, there was another obstacle!’

Blood flowed from the cleanly cut wings, and the pain continued to come.

However, Shiel rolled and rolled on the ground, enduring her blood and the dust from the ground staining her whole body, and somehow managed to escape from Kim Yu-hyun’s attack.

Afterwards, she succeeded in buying herself some time to rest by launching a counterattack against the opponent with her spear.

“Haa, haa!”

It was said to be a 2:1 fight, but in fact, that human woman was not a great threat to her.

She was almost ambushed, but unlike that man’s, she didn’t even suffer any injuries.

So, she was just being mercilessly pushed back by that human man.

By a mere human, by herself, the noble descendant of light!

“What the hell are you?”

“I’m just the human you’re talking about.”

“Lies!

Humans can’t do that!

No matter how strong a human is, even if he is called a high-ranking knight, he cannot gain such an advantage against a high-ranking celestial being!

What the hell are you?

If you’re not a demon, are you a human who has made a contract with a high-ranking demon or something?”

Kim Yu-hyun knew one person who had made a contract with a demon, although it wasn’t himself.

A person whose physical abilities were, to put it a bit exaggeratedly, worse than nothing.

However, he was so good at using his head that he couldn’t possibly suffer physically, literally a capable person whose head was so good that his body was comfortable.

In addition, he was surrounded by amazing women, so if anyone made his body uncomfortable, the women would immediately separate the existence’s head and body.

Finally, the one who made an irresistible request to him.

“You’ve got the wrong idea, pigeon.”

As soon as Kim Yu-hyun said that and subtly threw something forward, Shiel was so surprised that she reacted excessively.

Thanks to that, the opposite side was completely exposed, and only then did Shiel realize that this was a trap.

When I thought about it, that human man was not just good at handling swords.

‘…This is a big problem.’

Thwack!

A chilling sound that sent shivers down the spine spread, and the woman’s body twisted grotesquely for a moment.

Shiel, who had received an enormous shock as if struck by lightning, let out an absurd laugh as she received damage that was literally shocking, not even feeling pain.

‘Human?

You?

…Liar.

You’re not human, you monster.’

Shiel could boast that she had inflicted a lot of punishment on others and had also been punished a lot herself.

Because she had deliberately acted rudely while receiving teachings from the highest-ranking celestial beings and had been scolded a lot.

She did that in the hope that she might be able to fill this unsatisfactory something.

Certainly, their punishment was more than she thought, and it was very satisfying.

Shiel felt her chest, which had been full of dissatisfaction until now, finally filled with satisfaction from the shock, pain, and shame that were transmitted through her body.

Thud!

Shiel, who was floating in the air, crashed to the ground.

She tried to get up, but for some reason, the divine power inside her body was shaken up, and she could no longer operate it.

“···Haha.

Haha!

Ahahaha!”

It was funny.

This whole situation was really too interesting.

It was too hard to maintain her sanity without laughing like crazy.

She thought that only the highest-ranking celestial beings and the highest-ranking demons could satisfy her, but who would have thought that a mere human would give her such powerlessness, defeat, and satisfaction.

“Ahahaha!

Kyahahaha!”

Shiel laughed.

Very coolly, too exhilaratingly, as if she would go crazy if she didn’t laugh.

The laughter was so loud and contained an indescribable madness that Kim Yu-hyun frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction, unlike himself, and Rishikda blinked her eyes as if she was dumbfounded.

“She’s gone crazy as she’s about to die.”

“Ahahaha!

Yes, that’s right!

I feel like I’m going crazy!

Aaaah!

How can such an existence that can push me this far appear in the human race!

Indeed, humans are a very strange and interesting race!

Kyahahaha!”

One wing is cut off, her body is covered in dust, and blood is flowing down her mouth.

Shiel’s appearance was completely ruined to the point where it was more appropriate to see her as a street fighter than a noble celestial being.

However, the celestial being herself didn’t seem to care about that part.

“Human, no!

No!

Such a wonderful punisher.

What is your name?”

“I didn’t hit you in the head.

You’ve gone completely crazy.”

“Ahahaha!

I’ve heard that sometimes.

But I’m perfectly normal!

I’m just a little more passionate than others!

So, won’t you tell me?

Your name?”

“···I don’t have a name to give to someone who’s about to die.”

Kim Yu-hyun muttered indifferently and readjusted his sword.

Until now, he had been moving forward with an aggressive swordsmanship, but he had not gone so far as to aim for his life in one blow.

He knew that if he killed an enemy who might spit out good information without hesitation, he would be tormented by Sion without knowing it.

But Sion would understand if it was a crazy woman like that.

She’s a woman who would laugh even if her arms and legs were cut off, let alone information.

Kim Yu-hyun had concluded from his long life as a swordsman that it was beneficial for each other to kill such enemies quickly.

‘Honestly, I still don’t like killing.’

According to the original novel, Kim Yu-hyun had been extremely restrained from killing since he fell into this world from Murim [a genre of martial arts fiction].

Too many people, including himself, were hurt and lost their lives in vain because of the blood, resentment, and hatred that had been묻 on his sword.

He thought it was better to distance himself from everything, paying attention not to have any regrets in a world that had nothing to do with him anyway, closing his heart and living.

As a result, he was just swept away until the middle of the novel, and he never properly showed himself communicating with other characters.

But the current Kim Yu-hyun was different.

He met Sion Clausen at the moment when he was feeling disgusted with everything and trying to get away from the world.

Unlike himself, he didn’t have even a single grain of strength or mana.

Literally a man abandoned by the sky.

However, he did not pity himself, sit down and sigh.

Rather, he confronted the sky that had given him such trials and this world that ignored him, and he went on his way, creating and making his own way.

‘Foolish human.

Do you think it will be easier if you do that?’

Kim Yu-hyun in Murim, his past self, was like that.

He thought that if he reached the end of swordsmanship, and if he became stronger than anyone else, he would never be ignored or saddened.

He thought there would only be things to laugh about.

But the world pushed him into even stronger and more difficult trials.

The more he overcame them, the more Kim Yu-hyun realized that it was better to settle down in reality and sit down.

He had been gritting his teeth and holding on, but when he looked to the side and turned around, all those who had been following him had fallen somewhere and were now alone.

‘Where can you go, Sion Clausen?’

Kim Yu-hyun was curious about that.

So he followed Sion silently.

A person who was too different from himself, but at the same time too similar to himself.

He continues to move forward and forward with a human body.

He continues to do so without losing his confident energy, even without knowing what lies ahead.

‘I wanted to see if you would reach a different destination from me.’

So, now it was time to get used to wielding a sword and taking someone’s life again if he thought it was necessary.

Because if Sion saw him hesitating, he would pour out a lot of nagging about what that was.

And he was the kind of person who would immediately drive him away and tell him to sit in the back and watch.

‘Yes, just like my senior brother.’

If there really was such a thing as reincarnation, Sion would definitely be his senior brother.

His words, actions, and even the atmosphere he gave off were so similar.

The only difference was that his senior brother was strong and Sion was weak?

Kim Yu-hyun muttered like that and was about to strike the final blow towards Shiel, who couldn’t even hold a spear properly now.

Whoosh!―

Something makes a sonic boom, drawing a silver trajectory and flying sharply.

If the target was himself, he would have snorted and leisurely brushed it off and cut off the neck of that celestial woman.

Unfortunately, Rishikda, who was injured and catching her breath, was in the place where the trajectories were heading.

‘…Damn it.’

It’s a blind arrow level that is not very dangerous to him.

But for Rishikda now, it’s something that could be dangerous even if she’s a little careless.

In addition, Rishikda was currently injured and her movements were not even natural.

At least eight arrows, not just one or two, were flying accurately at Rishikda, and if he ignored her here and focused on Shiel, there was a nine out of ten chance that Rishikda would be seriously injured.

He hesitated for a moment, but it didn’t last long.

Sion had clearly asked him to protect a woman and at the same time asked him for another knight.

Failing to fulfill the request was enough for his past self, who was a fool.

Whoosh!

With a movement much faster than lightning, Kim Yu-hyun threw himself to protect his disciple, who had been forcibly taken from a man.

Just like his senior brother had done in the past.
