I’m not a Regressor

”

“However…”

“Your attacks won’t work on him, anyway.”

“…”

Sakaki looked at Sosuke, whose entire body had turned into a liquid, and dropped his head.

“I understand.”

“Don’t worry.
I’ll vaporize that slime bastard so that there’s no trace of him remaining.”

Ha-eun’s eyes shone fiercely as she stood next to Ohjin.

After barely escaping out of the lightning’s range, the edges of Sosuke’s lips rose as he laughed slyly.

“But do you really have the time to be fighting with me here?”

“What?”

“It’s about time for it to start.”

“…For what to start?” Ha-eun asked as she was staring at Sosuke with disgust in her eyes.

Sosuke whistled and answered shortly.

“The massacre.”

“…What?”

Ha-eun’s shoulders flinched from the answer that reeked of blood.

“I ordered my subordinates to standby at the ‘digestion facilities’ and indiscriminately attack every person nearby if you guys didn’t arrive on time.”

“Y-You crazy son of a bitch!!”

Ha-eun shouted with a shocked expression and quickly took out her phone.

She couldn’t read Japanese, but could see the broadcast of Osaka in flames on the news in real time.

“The number of casualties will get out of hand if you don’t deal with it quickly, you know?”

Sosuke grated their nerves and cackled.

‘So this is the hidden card he had prepared.’

Ohjin clicked his tongue and looked at Ha-eun’s phone to see the state of Osaka.

He wondered why Sosuke had been so relaxed despite his plans getting exposed, and it turned out that he had such a move prepared.

“Ohjin, this is…”

Ha-eun looked at her phone with a big frown.

—Osaka engulfed in flames.

The way the Awakeners of Hippocampus were indiscriminately attacking people was clearly broadcasted through the intensely shaking camera.

“Those sons of bitches…!”

Ha-eun clenched her fists tight and trembled out of anger.

Unlike Ohjin, who didn’t really care whether other people died or not, she had a good-natured heart.
It was hard for her to maintain her composure while looking at thousands of people getting massacred.

“Ha-eun, take the members of Kuroushi and deal with those bastards.”

“But…”

“I’m more than enough to take care of him.”

Ohjin looked at Sosuke and lightly grasped his spear.

There was a high probability that Sosuke had more hidden cards prepared, based on his leisurely attitude, however…

‘That doesn’t mean I can sit still in this situation.’

There was one conclusion he could come to after fighting with numerous Awakeners of Hippocampus until then:

‘Those bastards can’t beat me.’

Ohjin smirked at Sosuke and slightly pushed Ha-eun as she was hesitating.

“Hurry up and go, Ha-eun.”

“…You can really deal with him alone, right?”

“Have you ever seen me lie?”

“Too many fucking times.”

“Aha… Anyways, I’m not lying this time, so don’t worry.”

“Ugh.
Don’t you dare get beat up after saying that.
I won’t let you rest in peace.”

 Ha-eun turned around and quickly ran out of the basement.

“Follow her,” Sakaki said with a stiff expression to his clan members that were awaiting his orders.

Once Ha-eun and the clan members of Kuroushi left the basement, there were only Sakaki, Koshiro, and Ohjin remaining.

“Ehh, you’re going to face me alone?”

Sosuke looked at Ohjin with ridicule.

His solar plexus that was pierced by the spear melted and regenerated back into its original form.

“Have you lost it just because you landed a single successful attack?”

“I don’t think those are the words that should come from someone who whined after getting hit.”

“Hah, you’re really on your high horse just because lightning attacks work.”

Sosuke clicked his tongue in a provoking manner.

“But oh no, how should I break this to you?”

The stigma of Hippocampus engraved on his left chest started to emit light.

Once the surface of his left arm that was cut off started to wiggle, a whole new left arm was created.

Bubble, bubble—

Bubbles started to rise in his body with the sound of boiling water.

Particles so small that they couldn’t be seen by the naked eye mixed with the bubbles and excreted out of his body.

“Don’t you know that lightning doesn’t flow through pure water?”

Tap!— 

Sosuke made his move and sprinted to Ohjin.

Ohjin swung his spear low and aimed for Sosuke’s knees.

With the sound of splashing water, the spear went through his body.

‘Lightning Charge.’

Bzzzzzzzt!!— 

Ohjin used Lightning Charge at the exact time when the spear was passing through Sosuke’s knee, but the blue lightning didn’t travel through his body and gradually disappeared in vain.

“I told you it wouldn’t work, dumbass!”

Sosuke laughed and struck down using his arms in the shape of an X as they turned into the shape of two sharp scythes.

“…”

Ohjin activated the ‘Stigma of Clepsydra’ with a calm expression.

The world suddenly moved in slow motion.

Ohjin confirmed where Sosuke’s attack was heading in advance and avoided his attacks with minimal movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swish!— 

“Eek!”

The attacks futilely split apart the air.

Ohjin narrowly avoided all of Sosuke’s attacks with not even a 3cm gap between him and the attacks.

It was like watching a pro boxing athlete mocking and avoiding the attacks of an amatuer.

Swoosh! Swish! Swoosh!— 

“Y-You fucker!!”

Sosuke swore out of frustration while swinging his arms.

Even if he wasn’t specialized for close-range combat, anger soared up when he couldn’t even graze Ohjin’s clothes.

“Goddammit!”

Sosuke created distance and spread his arms wide.
His entire body started to boil again, and spherical droplets of water exited his body.

Ohjin smiled and looked at Sosuke, who had egg-like droplets gushing out of his body.

“Come to think of it, don’t male seahorses give birth?”

“Are you pregnant?”
