Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 716: Alps (1)

The human race was defeated.

Of course, I didn't mean a complete defeat. Temporarily entering a truce was a more fitting expression.

It was literally a temporary truce. It was unclear why the attack of the demons in angel masks had slowly declined, but those beyond the north remained silent and stood their ground.

The Continental Protection and Management Committee announced externally that our persistent's resistance protected the continent for soldiers' morale, but I thought everyone would know that the announcement wasn't true.

The Vice Guild Master went missing, and the Guild master died.

Although I couldn't confirm the scene myself, I could infer how terrible the Guild Master's last appearance was through the reactions of other guild seniors. The guild's atmosphere was dark and overwhelmed with strange emotions that were hard to express.

That was also a secret for some guild members. The only people who knew about it were I and Cho Hyejin, the secretary of the Guild Master. Team leader Kim Mi-young, senior Chang-ryul, senior Ahyoung, and Park Li-ahn.

It was widely known why all guild members weren't informed of the truth.

Questions remained about whether I was caught between those who shared that secret, but I thought it was probably due to a lack of help.

It was a short battle, but I could see at a glance that everyone was tired. No other words were needed. I wanted to borrow even the hands of new guild members who weren't reliable.

The person in the most serious condition was Jung Hayan.

'She's gone through a lot.'

She had maintained the spell all over the north for days.

It was said that she had infinite magic and superhuman magic recovery that couldn't be understood by the common sense of the general public. Still, she naturally suffered from exhaustion.

I had also experienced magic exhaustion.

It was an unimaginable sense of loss and lethargy, pain that seemed to tear the soul apart itself, and an experience that I would never want to experience again.

Thinking about continuing to experience such a phenomenon made my body tremble without realizing it.

"Huuuu..."

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

"Waaaang! Waaaang!"

"You think we should get going? Yes, that's right. I have a lot of work to do today. Jung Hayan will be waiting."

I took steps with a trembling heart. I, a new guild member, had been given a quest. It was to check and take care of Jung Hayan, who was constantly locked in the room.

I thought I couldn't help feeling nervous even though I had been there several times already. When I first joined the guild, she was a kind person who welcomed me...

'I don't have to be scared.'

I was, of course, mentally limited.

When I knocked on the door with a little nervousness, I heard a voice similar to the sound of scratching nails on a blackboard.

"..."

"O-Oppa?"

"Yes... Yes... oh, no. Jung Hayan, I'm Alps."

I felt too afraid to look straight ahead.

After a little silence, her hand came out from under the door. It was a hand that has been drained of moisture to the point where I thought it might be a mummy's hand.
