Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 96: Juliana (1)

An unpleasant voice echoed.

'Ahhh...'

I didn't know why, but my legs seemed to be shaking.

It had been difficult to call the Garden of Terror's dungeon boss a real dungeon boss. Even though it had been colossal, its resilience had not been enough to withstand the party members' attack power.

However, the woman in front of me was different. Though I knew nothing about her, I could feel an ominous aura in her presence. She certainly seemed like a priest with the uniform she wore, but the atmosphere she gave off seemed overbearing, to the point that I felt overwhelmed.

I realized at once that she was the predator, and I was the prey.

At this very moment, I missed being in a safe area in the rear of Kim Hyunsung's party.

'Hyunsung... Is this okay?'

Ahhh... Gedric... My Gedric! You finally came to see me...

'What bullsh*t is she talking about?'

You finally found me. My lovely Gedric!

Upon saying this, the woman bent her neck at an impossibly awkward angle, horrifying my party members. Then, she reached out to me.

I thought about pretending to be Gedric for a while, but it would be dangerous to take the lead in a situation like this. It would be best to retreat to the rear and wait until the leaders themselves figured out what to do.

'Can the woman not see?'

At this moment, Kim Hyunsung took one more step.

You are not him. Not him.

After frowning heavily, the woman who had been called Juliana opened her eyes, showing black pupils that seemed to have the ability to suck the life out of anyone.

The physiological effect was instant. Goosebumps rose on my skin.

'Sh*t...'

You're not him!

The very ground we stepped on began to crack, and the inside of the dungeon shook tremendously. I could sense strange energy as magic power began to spread in all directions, accompanied by a loud ringing voice. This caused me to cup my hands over both ears.

When I thought I would start bleeding from the intense pressure, a barrier covered the whole party. It turned out to be Sun Hee-young's defense, choosing to block the energy with divine magic.

It's not him!

"Everyone, prepare for battle! Wizards, prepare your spells, and priests, keep the divine power going. We judged that it was a monster that couldn't attract aggro, and we will proceed with the operation as defensively as possible. This will be a long battle."

"Noted!"

Lee Sang-hee, who was calmer than expected, covered the rear with a large shield. As soon as the spell was recited, magical power began to rise from the area. It was up to the vanguard to earn us some time until we finished casting the magic.

Of course, this did not mean that my side stood still.

Starting with Kim Hyunsung, some began to shoot at Juliana.

'Stay safe, Hyunsung.'

The energy that seemed to be neither magic nor divine power burst out in all directions. The owner of this energy was blatantly obvious.

'Juliana.'

"Please prepare your defense magic."

You... You dare invade this place... This place!
