Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 5)

Chapter 847: The Last (80)

He definitely didn't look like me, but...

'It was a good ending.'

Perhaps the reason he'd thrown himself into a fight he was unlikely to win was that he wanted to produce such a result. He had personally judged that there was no chance of winning, so he'd thrown himself into a dim possibility.

Had it all been to get her respect?

It was probably the best option he'd thought of since he had no more cards left.

It wasn't a bad choice. It had to have been a gamble, but he'd probably had his own convictions.

He might have already figured out what kind of person she was, what kind of thoughts she was living with, and what kind of disposition she had.

They hadn't talked to each other much, but he could have easily noticed.

Cha Hee-ra didn't bother to hide her nature. She always revealed what kind of person she was.

He'd said he wasn't a warrior, but he wanted to be treated as one, and his wish had been granted.

I didn't know if he had really been able to get what he wanted, but Heera would probably respect his death and choices.

-Definitely...

"What?"

-I think I know what it means to say that person was created based on the Vice Guild Master.

"Based on what?"

-I can't describe it in one word, but... his sacrifice... I think there may have been other motives behind it.

"..."

-But he didn't choose anything. Instead of sacrificing someone else, he ended up dying himself. Maybe he was having a hard time. He'd rather have ended it...

"I never give up."

-Maybe he thought it would be better to tie the knot on his own terms.

"That kind of thought..."

-This isn't like you. It reminds me of how you were in the war with the outer gods.

"It's a little different from that, but... I'll admit that there are some similarities..."

I could see him slowly fading away.

The scene where a group of small stars dispersed was quite enjoyable, but not to the point where I could feel complex emotions like Cho Hyejin.

Cha Hee-ra silently stared at it and paid tribute to the warrior's death. She then congratulated herself for getting her pride back, clenching her fists.

Her smile caught my eyes.

Why wouldn't she be worried? Cha Hee-ra had believed she could do it, but she wouldn't have been able to ignore the small trauma buried deep within. In her own way, she had once again crossed the wall, and she'd managed to achieve what she wanted.

She raised her body once more, patted the Red Mercenary on the back nonchalantly, and began to walk.

"So... what clues...?"

-I'll send Alps to check.

"Go for it. There might be some left. Since the event has been successfully cleared, we should expect to unfold a lot of things."

-Maybe there's a hint, something that Jihye left for the Vice Guild Master, or... at least there might be something we can use to control what will happen next...

"Anyway, Hyejin, please finish that."

-Okay.

"I want to leave the post-processing to Heera, but I think it would be better to leave it to you."
