Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 783: The Last (16)

"We are not the only ones that need to prepare."

"..."

"Humans must as well."

Belial was busy fiddling with a cube. It was difficult to take my gaze from it half-floating in the air and moving by itself.

"That means..."

"The human that signed a contract with Ronove will once again bring everything back to the beginning."

"..."

"That's why they should prepare too. Although Ronove belonged to the 27th Corps, that is now a story of the past. She already has her own legion and, strictly speaking, might be stronger than the former me. Besides... She seems to be favorable towards her own contractor, just like I am with you. The terms of the contract wouldn't have been that complicated."

"Hmm..."

"I don't feel like it's impossible. We won the war against those flies, but that was a head-on fight. I wouldn't have acted like that."

"..."

"There is no reason to win the war if one really wants to go back to the beginning. What else can be as enjoyable and entertaining as ruining someone without any conditions or interests? No justification, no reason, no gains or losses after the war, no post-processing, nothing to worry about."

"I think I understand what you're talking about."

"You just have to smash everything how you see it fit. It won't probably be difficult for humans like you or her. There's nothing as scary as those who have such disgusting souls lumped together. Hence, the people of the continent should also be prepared. I don't want this dimension to go back to the start."

"N-Neither do I. It seems that Elune is still wondering whether or not to come... The risk is high, isn't it, Junior Lee Kiyoung?"

"You're more demon-like than an actual demon, Benignore. How about changing your business type in this event?"

"..."

"..."

"Anyway, if you want, I'll contact her, but... there is no guarantee that it will have a positive impact. How..."

'Is it impossible to contact Ronove?'

"No. I don't think you need to contact her yet."

Considering that Lucifer really cherished Ronove, direct contact would be dangerous.

'I would cherish her too. Fuck.'

Who wouldn't be fond of a talent who climbed through the ranks at high speeds, reaching Corps commander from Corps member?

Given that such a case was unusual no matter the place, it wasn't strange that she liked Ronove.

The simplest hypothesis that could be inferred was...

'Is there any chance that Lucifer is behind it?'

It would be impossible for her to get involved directly, but I couldn't reject the possibility of her meddling indirectly.

Of course, that was only considering the relationship of Ronove and Lucifer. It might not have anything to do with Jihye.

In fact, I couldn't imagine that Lee Jihye could be used by Lucifer. I didn't know what Lucifer wanted, but it was likely that their interests simply coincided.

If the two actually met, then they might be preparing to backstab each other.

'Maybe she knows the content of our bet. I don't think Lucifer persuaded her, but...'
