Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 5)

Chapter 867: The Last (100)

****[Side note, the author is channeling his inner Kiyoung by giving the last few chapters so many parts.]

"Let him go. I won't ask for anything else. Please..."

'What are you doing?'

"He's already suffered enough. You've been torturing him nonstop, and you've taken everything you wanted. You don't have to do this..."

'Why are you trying to negotiate with a terrorist? Even if I'm being held hostage, you shouldn't do that.'

"This is enough. Any more than this..."

'There is no way the Song Villain would compromise in the first place.'

I thought he had knelt to boost himself and gain momentum, but that didn't seem to be the case.

'You have to fight.'

Assuming he could have a conversation with that crazy bastard was nonsensical.

What Song Sookyung wanted was to complete the God of Sunset.

He also had the huge goal of reserving the spot next to him, but... that was most likely his secondary goal.

He probably felt like there was a greater meaning to Hyunsung being the God of Sunset, making him pour more energy into his efforts.

Naturally, Kim Hyunsung's state right now wouldn't change his mind.

It was impossible for Song Sookyung to judge the situation normally, considering he had already been completely conquered by the demon and had become the demon itself.

Perhaps the current Kim Hyunsung angered him.

He might be feeling the same way towards Lee Kiyoung too. His ideal god's desperate side had been revealed, after all, making him think Hyunsung's appearance at this moment was far from what he thought the God of Sunset was.

He didn't look like someone to be worshiped and supported. Rather, he looked weak and was seemingly crumbling. There was fear and anxiety in his eyes, and his shattered armor made him look even weaker.

Even his hand, holding his trustworthy sword, didn't seem to have any strength in it.

He had already lost the will to fight.

'You don't have to think too hard about this situation to know that acting like that is only going to anger that psychopath even more, Hyunsung. I can't believe you can't even make logical judgments right now.'

All he seemed to be thinking about was the scenario where I would have my soul taken away.

'He's just grasping at straws.'

All of this was probably terrifying for him. He didn't care if he was in pain. All he knew was he didn't want me to be tormented any more than I'd experienced before.

He thought continuing to fight against him would eventually lead to a terrible scene.

If I had my soul stolen, then he knew I wouldn't be able to be with him in the third round.

That brought forth the possibility that the existence of the Son of Light would disappear forever, as well as the Regressor Instruction Manual.

His anxiety twisted like a skein of thread and bound him like an insect in a spider's web.

It wasn't like him, but his subconscious decided that the most rational option was to appeal to his emotions.

Wouldn't the Song Villain's response to such tactics be obvious?

"..."

"Please... P-please..."

"It's useless."

"Please..."
