Chapter 217: The regressor

I always have this problem with my day-to-day life. You might even call it an assumption that I have some superpowers. Because I was born to be frail and sickly I came to be skeptical about my surroundings. Every step I take and every turn I chose was accompanied by my constant worries. At some point, I could predict what will happen just by seeing a few hints it’s a good thing that hasn’t changed

[System: After 10 days or so have passed every nation will be sentenced to its very first struggle!!!

Outcome: The mission [Defenders] has been created and implemented once the signs of an invasion had occurred

[Defenders]: Different races you mustn’t abandon your motherland. Though fleeing is an option, your land shows growth and is the home of your people. If you decide to flee do remember that your people will suffer

Requirements: For this mission, you’ll gain a destruction gauge. This gauge measures the damage caused by the invasion, the lesser the damage the higher the reward

Failure: If the destruction gauge reaches 75% you’ll be given a penalty and lose most of your land. The monster spawn rate will become increasingly difficult and you’ll face triple their current numbers]

“Well fuck! I’ve never thought I’d get such a hard mission from the start,” He was standing in their newly built walls

beneath that, was a hole his army dug after they were ordered by Lucifer his second in command. He couldn’t stress about the fact that he was faced with an intruder and to make it worse he needs to protect his territory. I’m his frustrations a slight tap on his shoulders caught his attention and he met his companion that puts a smile on his face

“Everybody gather up, im not going to repeat what im about to say so listen up! There are only a few minutes left before we’re forced to fight hundreds, no thousands of monsters. Their powers are comparable to a demon close to an elite-ranking demon, we might as well die in our efforts. However, our power will increase once we absorbed their demonic energy, so it’s a win-win,” Jin gave a motivational speech that boosts the morale of their army and drove away the fear of those beneath his power

[System: The demons under your command have been positively affected by the words of your general!!!

Mission: A certain requirement has been met. You’ve created the mission called [Motivater]

[Motivater]: You who are currently weak has gained the chance to win over the hearts of your people. Your general has played a big part in this mission, he’ll be rewarded if you succeed

Requirement: For demons, power is everything, however, you’re currently weak. This is a chance for you to gain the heart of your people

Reward: New effect for the skill the [Dominion] & 300 Evil points]

“Death isn’t the end for us demons!!! We’ve faced death in our day-to-day lives, we starved until our stomachs can no longer grasp the feeling of satisfaction. And now we’re being invaded by these pests, do you want to die a dog’s death!!? We demons are proud if this is our end then let us burn!!! If the world wants us dead should we kneel or should we rise and fight for our freedom!? I’ll never kneel even if it cost me my life! Tell me are you prepared to die!!?” The demons screamed and their eyes were burning brightly as the fiery pits of hell

His army grits their teeth and raises their weapons, no more will they hide. Anger fuels their body after they were reminded how weak they’ve become. They were powerless when they needed strength the most and now they’re facing a bigger threat. Even though the words of their general took away their fears and regret. But their king was the one that united their will, their desire for a better tomorrow, and to return in their glorious days. These demons screamed out their battle cry and they joined the generals when they heard the march of their enemies

[Kehahahhahahaha, I’m getting more and more excited about this evil counterpart of yours. Now show me another spectacular show, this is your very first challenge, an invasion of hostile forces]

With Morris leading the army alongside his generals he was able to activate his newly acquired effect

[System: The player Christoper Morris has activated the newly acquired effect of the skill [Dominion]

“Charge ahead!!!” With him in the front alongside Jin and his crew, they marched toward their enemy in their predetermined battlefield

But even Morris wasn’t able to predict that a small yet powerful standoff was occurring near his territory. A space sealed from the outside world which even cancels out any form of sound leaks from their area. A masked figure was battling a human filled to the brim with a heavenly aura. Their battle shook the ground and destroyed the few trees that grew in this barren wasteland

[Hero: Yurabel (Song Hye Ri

Race: Human

Role: Great summoner]

“I can’t understand why you know my name, who are you? I thought it’d be impossible for one to know the true identity of a player behind their role. Perhaps, do I know you? You’re oddly familiar with my tactics, it’s the only explanation I have,” Hye Ri’s summons attacked the individual but they weren’t lucky enough to land a single hit

With the figure’s massive scythe and unpredictable movement it easily dodges the monsters she tamed. The giant centipedes burst from the ground and a pact of demonic sparrows presented from the skies. But the figure easily dodges and resolves each of the forces stacked by a single swing. Every piece of the tamed monster’s body was shredded and she was left open for an attack

“Leave, im not telling you again. Whether or not you obey me if I see you again I’ll kill you in a heartbeat! You wouldn’t want that am I correct Song Hye Ri? If you wish to go any further than this I’ll make sure you wouldn’t reap this trial by ending your character’s life~” Out of nowhere an attack from the figure back and it was forced to be blocked with the use of its scythe

The attack was powerful and it manages to push the figure with a single straightforward punch. It sends it far back but it was a range where the figure could easily return to its location. A surge of power leaks throughout the masked individual and it spread throughout the forest. The withering trees grew taller and the monsters Hye Ri commanded were slowed down on their tracks

“What is this? Why isn’t my S-rank dispell working…? What did you do? I’ve never heard of this kind of ability whatsoever,” The monsters seem to age and their bodies were slower than any ordinary man can easily predict their movements

“Because this blessing of mine can greatly affect the plot of the trials it’s been dialed down. What you’re seeing isn’t an illusion, I can bend time to my will. I can’t target you with my blessing but I can greatly accelerate my movements and slowed the movement of anything. My offer still stands, if you flee I’ll promise that I won’t kill you, you’re a smart person Song Hye Ri. I know you’ll make the right choice, tiring yourself will leave you vulnerable to the monsters,” When the masked individual revealed its power she could only do was run

She clicked her tongue and faced the other way around, and the individual continued to trek the mountains. This mysterious player stopped at the peak of the mountain where it have a wonderful view of the battle. The masked menace sighed and it finally revealed its face showing a face belonging to a girl

’I can’t turn back now, I’ve made sure that every dilemma was controlled by my men, but that’s not going to happen. I’m all alone and my visions don’t occur when I needed them the most. A while back I found that he became the Demon King… What a mess! I can’t begin to visualize how I’ll deal with this, but I’ve already made up my mind. This role of mine can easily find a way to breach their nation and become their ally,’

[Neutral faction: Silvia (Rachel Ainsley)

Race: Human

Role: Executioner]

“I have a way to block off the appraisal function of your system. I hope you wouldn’t come to hate me, I’ve chosen this path and I have to admit im happy. Even if you’re angry about what I’ve done in the past, it’s all a part of my grand plan. This time I’ll do everything to make it so that you’ll stay alive, your unavoidable death is nearing the end,” The unknown individual who intervened with the guild

But even before that, she was there at every turn he took on his path to the mystery of this world. At some point, Morris thought it was strange that even when the odds are stacked against him he manages to survive. However, it was all her doing, Rachel Ainsley was there to prevent the worst-case scenario from ever occurring. A transmigrater and a regressor as well not to mention the fact that she’s none other than his ex
