The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 644


 

644 – I believed you would come. (1)

Episode 644 I Believed You Would Come (1)

It wasn’t just darkness. The curtain was filled with a black aura that was constantly moving and rippling.

Between the black aura that seemed to be tens of thousands of souls entangled together, a figure that occasionally looked like a face would pass by. It seemed as if someone’s screaming could also be faintly heard.

Gaaaaa… … .

The curtain breathed slowly, as if it were a living organism. It radiated a powerful suction power that seemed to suck the soul of those who saw it.

“Hey, what is this?”

Jerome’s trembling voice broke the silence. There was a hint of fear and wonder in his voice.

Others also stared at the curtain with their mouths shut, as if they had lost their minds.

The aura emanating from the curtain was terrifying. Standing before this curtain, the presence of Morbus, whom I had encountered earlier, felt like a joke.

The huge black curtain stretched endlessly. Its overwhelming presence took the breath away of those who saw it.

The color drained from the faces of those who had come with light hearts, expecting to see only ancient ruins.

Because I never imagined that I would encounter something so ominous and powerful.

A look of embarrassment crossed Giselle’s usually confident face.

‘earthly…….’

Even in the saint’s dreams, she had never seen such a sight.

Who would have thought that such a huge curtain of energy would exist in the center of the Demon Forest?

Jerome was lifted into the air in a hurry. Now that Morbus was gone, he was free to fly through the sky.

The view from above was even more shocking.

“Huh? Why does it look like this?”

A black curtain of enormous size hung over it like a gigantic hemisphere. It was comparable in size to the capital of a kingdom.

As we climbed higher, the curtain became more and more blurred, as if disappearing into the fog.

In the dark forest of the Demonic Cult, filled with giant trees and darkness, the black curtain blended in perfectly with its surroundings, as if camouflaging itself.

Jerome muttered as if talking to himself.

“You said you sealed it… … Are you hiding even your appearance?”

Jerome, who had come down to the ground, explained what he had seen. Everyone’s expressions became serious.

When Erenes spoke, I actually half-listened to it. I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration since it happened so long ago.

But now that I look back, the story she told me felt like it was greatly reduced in content.

Jerome swallowed hard and spoke first.

“So… … if the myth that Erenes spoke of is true, then there really is a corpse of the demon here… … .”

Vanessa nodded.

“You’re saying that the source of power used by the Salvation Church is also here?”

“That’s right. It’s just that the saint has sealed it, so it can’t use its power as much as before.”

There was tension on everyone’s faces.

Doesn’t it mean that even just a small portion of the evil thoughts that spread throughout the world created strong people like Gatros?

How strong were the adversaries and the Salvation Church a thousand years ago?

And how strong were the warriors, saints, and their companions who stopped it?

As these thoughts crossed my mind, a chill ran down my spine.

Belinda asked with a look of deep thought.

“I only knew that the purpose of the Salvation Church was to find an opponent… … But isn’t breaking this seal also their goal?”

Everyone nodded in heavy silence.

The energy emanating from the curtain before my eyes is already suffocating, but if this were to be completely released… … .

The Forest of Demons will be a place that can be called a realm of demons. The forest up until now was nothing more than a peaceful park.

That wasn’t all. Once the seal was released, the Salvation Church would be able to wield even more power than it does now.

Even now, it took a lot of sacrifice and time to bring down the Salvation Church. If those guys become stronger… … . It was truly terrifying to even imagine.

Parniel ground his teeth and struck the black curtain.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

But there was no change in the curtain. The enraged Parniel continued to attack, continuously emitting divine power.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even in the face of her powerful attacks, the curtain held its shape without a hitch. It seemed to mock her, saying that it could never be pierced with that much strength.

Jiselle also looked at the curtain with a serious expression and then tried to attack.

Kwaaaaang!

For a moment, the black smoke wavered. The curtain was neither pierced nor cut. No matter how many times I tried, the result was the same.

Jiselle, who was struggling, used her willpower and even mobilized Dark’s amplification.

Kwaaaaang!

I attacked the curtain with all my might, and there was a brief opening. But even that was quickly filled with black energy and disappeared.

‘It’s empty.’

The moment a gap appeared, everyone looked inside, but they couldn’t see anything. All they could see was the darkness that filled the space.

The others also tried to attack one after another. Julian tried with all his might, and Jerome and Vanessa also poured all their magic power into it.

But the black curtain still stood proudly.

Jerome said, snorting.

“Should I… … try using forbidden magic?”

Actually, I was just trying to brag a little bit. I didn’t really intend to use it. If I use it now, I’ll die.

But unexpectedly, Jiselle nodded.

“Just try it once. Wouldn’t it work? It’s said to be in conflict with the spirit of the Salvation Church.”

Belinda agreed.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just did it a little? If I stopped just before I died.”

Vanessa also showed a curious look. Among the wizards who had seen it in person, there were many who said that it was a great magic. As a wizard, she also wanted to see it at least once.

Parniel spoke with gnashing teeth.

“Come on, try it. I have to see what’s inside.”

She was quite angry now, because the myth Erenes had told her was now more likely to be true.

The authority of the church was based on long-standing beliefs. That foundation must not be shaken.

Now, it was Parniel who wanted to dig up traces of the past more than Giselle.

Jerome stepped back with a bashful expression.

“Oh, what’s wrong? I just said it once… … .”

Jerome looked at Julian for help. At least Julian should stop him… … .

Julian turned his head and pretended not to notice. He just looked at the sky in a picturesque pose.

Jerome, who had been betrayed by everyone, finally lashed out.

“Ah! If I use that, I’ll die! That’s too much, really!”

Everyone looked disappointed as Jerome continued to run wild. They thought they could just use it a little bit so that he wouldn’t die and then cancel it, but it seemed like that wasn’t possible.

“Ha, this is so frustrating.”

Jiselle let out a small sigh of regret.

I was hoping to find some clues since I came this far, but I didn’t expect to be blocked by this curtain.

At least one thing is certain: there’s something truly terrifying in there.

‘Is this really the spirit of the demon?’

The story that the source of that tremendous power was sealed by the saint did not seem to be an exaggeration.

“Well… … It’s not like that story doesn’t make sense.”

Erenes must have known that Giselle and her party could not break through this overwhelming aura. That may be why she did not explain further.

“By the way, it’s really great.”

This huge curtain was created using only the remnants of energy. How on earth could it have been sealed?

Was it possible because she was a saint who could use the power of all the goddesses? The questions kept coming back to me.

Jiselle, who had been looking at the curtain for a while, sighed.

“Let’s go back first.”

It seemed like if I just sat there and stared at it like this, I wouldn’t be able to figure anything out.

I was thinking of going back and slowly clearing the forest and slowly studying this place.

Belinda asked with a slightly uneasy expression.

“If there’s something really bad sealed here… …then it’ll never be released, right?”

“Well, I don’t think that will happen right away… … If the enemy is resurrected, wouldn’t it be possible?”

“Hmm, I really need to find that opponent.”

The Salvation Church never said they would break the seal here, but it is already known that they are looking for the king.

According to Erenes, this was their holy place. So after finding the king, they will surely come here somehow and try to use this energy.

What we once thought were mere myths and conspiracy theories are now reality.

In the end, there was no choice but to find the enemy and kill him. That was the only way to calm the anxiety.

It was clear that Erenes was hiding something, but their ultimate goal was the same as everyone else’s.

People glanced at Julian and thought.

‘Well… I don’t think he’s an opponent.’

‘If it were real, wouldn’t this have reacted?’

‘Erenes isn’t sure either?’

If Julian was truly the adversary the Salvation Church was seeking, the Black Curtain would have reacted in some way when it came into contact with Julian.

Anyway, this is said to be the source of the energy of the Salvation Church.

But even when Yulien approached and attacked, the black curtain showed no reaction.

So everyone felt a little more at ease. No matter how you looked at it, Julian was not an opponent.

“Okay, let’s go back now.”

Jerome suggested at Giselle’s words.

“Let’s just fly. Vanessa and I will carry everything. It’ll be faster, right?”

I walked there in case I found something on the way there, but I didn’t have to until I got back.

Everyone nodded willingly.

Just as Jerome was about to raise his magical power, Giselle spoke.

“for a moment.”

“why?”

“Let me see you one last time.”

Jiselle looked back at the tent. As she thought about going back, she felt uneasy. She felt that she couldn’t go back like this.

It was a strange feeling. It was as if the divine power of the saint that had taken up residence in his head was urging him to do so.

Jiselle slowly approached the black curtain and cautiously reached out her hand.

When I touched the overflowing black energy, I felt an unexpected warmth.

I tried pushing with a little more force. My hand didn’t go any further as if it was blocked by a solid wall.

“hmm.”

At that moment, I was about to pull my hand away with a sigh of regret.

– Finally, we’ve come this far.

“hmm?”

An unfamiliar voice dug into my consciousness.

‘This is… … .’

It was divine power. The divine power of the saint that had taken hold in my consciousness had responded.

It’s not even a dream, but I can hear it so clearly.

Jiselle concentrated her mind. She had to check if this was an illusion or not.

– I believed you would come. Because you made a ‘promise’ with us.

‘What? What does that mean?’

It was definitely the voice of the saint I had heard in my dream. But I couldn’t understand what she was saying.

He had never promised anyone to come here.

I came here simply to satisfy my personal curiosity. If I had to name another reason, it would be to pioneer the forest of demons.

Jiselle concentrated even more. Perhaps she could unlock the secret of this curtain.

People looked at Giselle, who had a serious expression on her face.

“Your Majesty, what is happening…?”

Belinda’s face, which had been approaching him with an anxious look, turned pale for a moment.

“master!”

Paaaaah!

The black curtain suddenly shook. Hundreds of black energy surged up like snakes, wrapping themselves around Jiselle’s body in an instant.

It was a sight that seemed to show hundreds of black hands emerging from within the curtain.

There was no time to react.

Those hands, like black tentacles, swooped down on Giselle like lightning.

His body was instantly pulled into the curtain as if swallowing it.
