Regressor Instruction Manual - Chapter 412. Joy to the World. Light Ki-Young Has Descended (3)

The sight before me was indescribable, and it would be strange not to shout after seeing that many undead creatures. It was the same as earlier. The jaws of the allied forces dropped because of the shocking sight, and the enemy forces didn’t know what to do as well because they couldn’t quite wrap their heads around the situation. No one had any idea if they were allies or enemies, but thanks to my urgent remarks, the enemy troops seemed to have gotten the idea that they were undead beings created by Demon Summoner Jin Cheong.

Of course, they were hesitant about accepting it.

“Shit…”

“Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! Those Undead are at least epic rank!”

The undead creatures Han Sora and Jung Ha-Yan had made with their heart and soul were different from Average and Rare Undead. They were at least Epic, and they even looked like liches. I honestly didn’t expect that they would be capable of something like this.

I knew Jung Ha-Yan was unexpected, but I was really surprised this time because she basically made an army of undead creatures. It was technically different, but comparing what she had done to the meteor earlier, her achievement was still a great one.

‘I mean, Han Sora even summoned Belial, so I’m sure this was nothing for them.’

Obviously, the quality of the undead creatures Han Sora and Jung Ha-Yan had made couldn’t be compared to the demons that Demon Summoner Jin Cheong had summoned, but the dark mist enveloping each of the undead creatures made them look incredibly intimidating. A few of them even stood out among the pack.

Their numbers were terrifying as well. Honestly, I tried looking for a more wicked way to do this, but this was the most humane way to resolve all this. A plan more wicked than this would be too much for my conscience to swallow.

The soldiers were tired, but they had to face the undead. The wickedness of the masked scum Jin Cheong of this timeline was definitely comparable to the wickedness of the masked scum Jin Cheong of our regressor’s past life.

Rather than turning his enemies into undead creatures, the masked scum actually turned his own soldiers into members of the undead.

Demon Summoner Jin Cheong had thrown away all caution to the wind just to win this war and cause chaos throughout the continent. This was the true colors of Jin Cheong—the masked scum in our lovely regressor’s past life.

“Grrrrr….”

“Kyaaaaaah!!”

The army of undead had many types of undead creatures among them. There were many low-ranked skeletons to make up the numbers, and there were also some of them who could still use their abilities while they were still alive. Of course, towering above them all were death knights and liches. They had already died, but they hadn’t escaped the fate of being chess pieces, so the undead voiced their resentment and loyalty toward the demon summoner in their own unique way.

Naturally, I started talking because I knew better than anyone that I wouldn’t get an opportunity better than this one.

– Everyone! This is the true colors and the goal of the demon summoner!

‘Indeed.’

– Look at those undead creatures. Look at those fallen figures hoisting the banner of the Republic. This isn’t a war for the Democratic Country and the Republic. This is a war created by a demon’s conspiracy. Open your eyes! Open them and join us!

‘Come with us! Let’s go!’

– We must not point our swords toward each other. The survival of the continent is at stake. We can’t let this continent fall into the hands of demons. The Sacred Democratic Country will definitely go down first, but the Republic will fall after us. Let’s fight together! Let’s join hands for all the races living on this land!

‘Let’s become one!’

– Your command center has already become the playground of demons. Come with us, and be with the gods! I beg you to join the light. Everyone! Please join the army of light!

‘Hurry up, you bastards! We’re in an urgent situation!’

I sounded like a politician running for an election. I tried to be as persistent as possible, but the atmosphere died down a little bit. I talked as much as I could, but the Republican soldiers weren’t reacting to it. Of course, my voice could finally reach them. It was evidenced by the fact that they weren’t attacking the allied forces.

The enemy field commanders who kept on ordering the soldiers to attack and the soldiers who lost their comrades in the chaotic battlefield all gulped at the appearance of the undead. The situation had definitely changed. Earlier, I was simply spouting nonsense for them, but now, there was actually proof of what I was saying, so it was only natural for them to fall into chaos and confusion.

“W-What’s that…”

“Are they really our allies?”

“Oh god…”

Our lovely Varian priests were the most affected. The devout priests who stood on the battlefield for the Republic closed their eyes and started searching for their god.

– Priests of Varian! Join us! Please fight for god! I beg you!

No one really made any drastic move, but I knew my words were effective because I could see them trying to do something. I knew that they would soon send a spokesperson, but the individual who started speaking was the demon summoner.

He tried his best to speak calmly, but he sounded a bit worked up. After all, he was now about to create yet another achievement like what he had done in Laios. I was sure he was excited to hear the praises of his fellow servant of demons.

‘That scummy bastard…!’

– T-This is all fabricated. Those undead creatures have nothing to do with the Republic, and this is nothing more than a fabricated scenario created by Father Lee Ki-Young, who’s trying to cause chaos in this battle. Just like the incident in Laios, he’s a demon trying to trick everyone using black magic.

– I’m the envoy of light chosen by Benigoa and Elune. Aren’t you scared of the heavens, you demon summoner?! I was given this light to pass judgment on demons like you. This light is to judge you who tricked innocent soldiers and shed innocent blood! I shall pass judgment on you, who started this war to cause chaos on this continent. If I was related to those dark forces in some way, then may the gods punish me. This holy power is proof of my alignment, and it is the greatest power to deny your lies!

– Shut up! You dirty fraud! You’re the one causing chaos on this land. Do you really think that you’ll be able to hide your dirty acts by hiding behind the name of the gods?! The truth will be revealed someday. Do you really think that I don’t know about the dirty deeds you have committed in the Sacred Democratic Country?! I know you caused chaos in the empire using democracy as a shield, and I also know that you own the black market there.

– How dare you to lie to me, you dirty demon! You sure know how to obscure the truth with your words. Republicans! The demon summoner is lying! The whispers of the demon caused this war between the Sacred Democratic Country and the Republic! His words are the whispers of demons! He lied about how I was the one who started all this, how I wanted to create chaos on the continent, and how I own a black market! He’s lying! Do not believe him. Believe what you see! Open your eyes and take a look at the truth! Do not fall for fabrications and instigations!

– The truth will be revealed! You dirty traitor of humanity!

– The light is the truth! Demon Summoner Jin Cheong!

– What you have isn’t the light, and even if it is the light, the gods who bestowed it upon you are out of their minds—they are out of their minds!

– To deny the holy power of the gods is denying the gods itself! You’re truly a demon who is unafraid of the heavens! Your reflection in the goddess’ mirror is your true colors, and the holy power I possess is the truth! The blood spilled on this battlefield is the truth, everyone in pain is the truth, and even those who had been devoured by darkness are the truth as well! How dare you deny them?! How dare you deny their sacrifices?! Do you really think that everyone will fall for the dirty words coming out of your mouth?!

– You crazy bastard!! The Republic doesn’t have a reason to control undead creatures…

– Everyone, let’s face it together! Fight with us!

Difficult-to-answer questions could be easily resolved by answering in a sincere voice filled with light.

– There is no reason for us to do such a thing…

– Join us! Be with the light!

Honestly, there wasn’t a reason to fight with words because the mindless undead army was already charging while foaming at their mouths. Thankfully, the undead creatures could differentiate the Sacred Democratic Country from the Republic. They left the Republican soldiers alone and were pointing their swords and using their black magic against the Sacred Democratic soldiers.

Jin Cheong kept denying it, but the reality was cruel.

“Kyaaaaaaaah!”

“Holy power! We need more holy power!”

“Roooooooooar!”

“Stop them! Shit! You dirty demon summoner! Aren’t you afraid of god?! You demons!”

“Use your swords for the continent! Don’t stand with darkness!”

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

My heart started racing as the army of light was being pushed back by the undead army. The army of light remained steadfast, but it wouldn’t be strange if we suffered casualties.

“Don’t fall back!”

“Don’t die no matter what! We’re the knights of Everia who are fighting in the name of Elune! Let everyone know that light still exists on this continent!”

“Priest! Prieeeeest!!”

“Pull the injured soldiers back! Maintain formation and stop the undead!”

The elves wiped away the tears from their eyelids and resisted the darkness as strongly as they could. The dwarves did the same because they despised the undead, and the soldiers of the Sacred Democratic Country responded as well.

There weren’t any casualties yet, but it wouldn’t be strange if soldiers ended up dying. If it weren’t for the fact that they were still able to maintain their formation, then I was sure that they wouldn’t have been able to endure for this long.

– Light is what reveals the darkness. Each of us is but a small candle, but if we gather and unite, we’ll be able to drive away the darkness. We need every power we can get, and I hope you will realize that!

The words I spouted sounded like they came from a famous song, but after I was done with my speech, I started walking as well.

– Now! We must attack the imposters of the Sacred Democratic Country now! This is a fabricated scenario created by them! The undead creatures have nothing to do with the Republic, and if we strike, the truth will be revealed Raise your swords again and fight!

– We don’t need to fight each other! The real enemy is before us! Open your eyes. The light is the truth!

– Hold up your swords, soldiers of the Republic! Fight!

– I order the soldiers of the Sacred Democratic Country! I won’t allow you to attack the soldiers of the Republic! They’re not the enemy! We don’t need to fight them!

– You c-crazy bastard! Do you really think that anyone will fall for your scheme?!

– Everyone… let’s join hands! The light will be with you! You must not listen to the demon summoner! I want you to remember the incident in Laios! He summoned these undead creatures to fight for him!

– We won’t respond to your crazy remarks. All soldiers—

– The light will be with you! The light will be together with you! Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid, no matter what!

– Lee Ki-Young…!

– We have to unite before the great threat!

Mankind would soon be united, but it was still too early for me to celebrate. However, a piece of background music filled with hope was already playing in my head.
