The Regressed Demon Lord is Kind Webnovel - Chapter 305

Chapter 305
“Huh?” Zich blinked. From the situation, it seemed Condel was planning to infuse the shadows into Sia Rubrent. ‘I thought he still needed more shadows.’

Zich’s body moved faster than his thoughts. He poured a huge amount of mana into Windur until it looked as if it would burst and swung it.

Crash!

Condel blocked the attack. However, Zich had expected him to do that. It was a feint, and Zich flung his body in the direction directly opposite his sword energy’s path. Then, he shot a couple more blasts of sword energy. Glen, who didn’t want Sia’s resurrection either, swung Tornium multiple times.

However, Condel blocked all their attacks with complete disregard for his own safety. He showed his great resilience by blocking some of the attacks with his own body. Since the shadows protected him, he didn’t receive any serious injuries, but his actions showed how desperate he was in this situation. Thanks to his great efforts, the shadow humans were able to successfully enter Sia’s corpse.

Zich and Glen backed away for a bit. “What’s happening, Sir Zenard? I thought Sia Rubrent’s shadow human wasn’t complete yet,” Zich asked.

Glen couldn’t give him a proper answer. He only replied according to his experiences. “…I’m not sure. If it had been completed, there’s no way he wouldn’t have resurrected her already.”

“I guess so,” Zich agreed. “Then, is he just planning to move the corpse? Well, I suppose if it is the shadow human of that corpse, it should be much stronger than the other ones. It seems he’s planning to gather the other shadows too after pushing us off.”

“…From what I know, a shadow human that has been infused into a corpse can’t get out again.”

Zich narrowed his eyes. It didn’t make sense. “Are you saying he’s giving up on resurrecting his lover just to get out of this dangerous situation?”

“…I also can’t believe it,” Glen said.

Surprisingly, both Zich and Glen’s thoughts were in alignment. But they both knew that just talking to each other wasn’t going to resolve the situation. The two rushed toward Condel simultaneously. They planned to pass by Condel and stop the corpse Sia Ruebrent’s shadow human had been infused into.

And yet, Condel’s defense remained firm, and he thoroughly blocked all of Zich and Glen’s attacks. Soon, the reward for all his efforts came to light.

Twitch.

Sia Rubrent, who had been lying prone, twitched her fingers. Then, she began to move; her toes moved, while her palms flipped, her arms went sideways, and her knees jerked up slightly. Finally, her eyelids trembled.

Blink!

Sia Rubrent opened her eyes. Her body rose abruptly, looking at Zich, Glen, and Condel like a mannequin. Her lips were slightly parted. Like a baby babbling, she moved her lips wordlessly.

“…Condel?” A voice finally came out of her throat.

Swing!

Condel turned his head to face her. Although he was in the middle of a fierce battle and his movement would give his opponents a critical opening, he couldn’t resist. This was the voice he had lost a long time ago and had yearned to hear so much.

“Sia!” Condel shouted. Everything he had missed—her face, hair, voice, and beautiful eyes—came into view.

But in contrast to Condel, who was overwhelmed with emotions, Zich and Glen had no reason to do anything. Windur and Tornium each aimed for Condel’s neck and body thanks to the many openings he now showed.

Slide!

Sia stretched out her arm. Black energy burst out of her body.

Craaaaash!

A loud commotion erupted. The black energy launched Zich and Glen a good distance away.

Pop! Pop!

Two swords shot up in a wave some distance from the island.

“Zich!”

“Glen!”

Lyla and Lara called out their names in shock. Other people were also stunned. That was how much of a dangerous situation Zich and Glen appeared to be in, as they were stuck on top of the black substance. Fortunately, they didn’t seem to be injured.

“Ah, damn it! Lyla’s magic is enough for flying.” Zich grunted as he shook the black substance off from his sword. Glen also got up, using Tornium as his staff.

Condel, who was now free from the two, approached Sia. Pure happiness filled his eyes as he exclaimed, “Sia!”

“…Condel?” Sia asked. Condel tightly hugged her as she looked at him with blank eyes.

“Ah, Sia! My Sia! You’re finally awake!”

Tears fell from Condel’s scrunched-up face. He had wanted to see her so much, he had been willing to crush other people’s happiness and throw his own life into the pits.

However, her body, which had come back from the despair of death, was… very cold. Surprised, Condel took his face off Sia’s shoulders. She was still staring at him with blank eyes.

“Condel?”

“Yes, it’s me! Your lover, Condel!”

“Condel…”

“…Sia?”

“…Condel.”

Sia’s condition was strange. Anyone could see that she wasn’t responding like a normal human. Then, she suddenly lifted her arm.

Baaaam!

Black energy seeped out from her hand. Zich and Glen, who had been trying to ambush Condel, hurriedly retreated on both sides.

Zich commented, “What a fierce lady.”

The black energy didn’t lose any of its power as it stretched out and made a large hole in the cave. Zich clicked his tongue but soon blabbered on, “You worked so hard to resurrect her, but it seems it wasn’t done properly. What are you going to do now? Your lover seems long gone.”

Condel glared at Zich. “Nonsense! It’s just that her resurrection isn’t complete yet! That’s all!”

“Oh? Then, is there a possibility that she would be properly resurrected then?”

“Of course!”

Hearing this, Zich felt relieved. ‘Thank goodness. He won’t fall into despair just yet because his ritual failed.’ Zich still hadn’t given up on the idea of seeing Condel fall into a greater level of despair after failing to resurrect his lover because of his own lack of power.

Bam! Bam!

In the meantime, Glen continued to attack. Yet, Sia was immensely strong. Every time they clashed, Tornium was clearly pushed back.

Condel was filled with exhilaration at this sight. “Sia will come back, and she’ll also become stronger! You bastards who blocked my love! You damn bastards who ridiculed my love! Look clearly at Sia’s resurrected form!”

Pop!

Pillars of water and the black substance shot up from their surroundings. Glen gritted his teeth and called out, “Don’t let Sia Rubrent’s body absorb the black water! If the ritual continues, a monster incomparable to the one right now will be formed!”

‘I guess the black substance isn’t just for show,’ Zich thought after learning the true purpose of the substance.

“Hmph! How are you going to stop that from happening!? Your companions are struggling with my shadows, and you guys have your hands full fighting me!” Condel’s voice sounded confident. Even though his plan had gone slightly awry in the middle, everything else was still roughly going according to plan.

Zich also admitted that Condel had every right to be confident. ‘Even though support will probably arrive soon, the current situation is too dire for me to just rely on help arriving.’

If Sia Rubrent really was completed here, the situation might become impossible to deal with. For that reason, Zich used one of his abilities—his shrewd tongue.

“Are you going to complete Sia Rubrent?” he asked.

“I will!”

“Really, that’s great.” Zich smiled as if he couldn’t understand the seriousness of the situation and said, “As soon as she gains consciousness, I’m going to tell her about all the evil acts you committed.”

“…”

Condel’s face stiffened. At the same time, the black liquid approaching Sia also stopped.

Zich lowered Windur, and he even pushed it upside down into the ground. He leaned on Windur like a staff and continued, “What are you doing? Weren’t you in the middle of finishing your lover? Do it quickly. I need to have a serious talk with her.”

Zich encouraged Condel to complete Sia, and Condel glared at Zich as if he wanted to kill him.

“…Condel?” Sia called to him, but she looked at him without intelligence like a doll.

Splash!

The black liquid pillars crashed into the ground.
