How To Use Regressors - How To Use Regressors chapter 56

56 – Chapter 56 – Black Wizard Bahun (2)

‘Item.’

Sure enough, as Seoyuju had said, when Ogre broke through the wall and popped out, there must be a space inside, and there might be something worthy of being called a treasure.

Yoon Yeon also thought Seoyuju’s opinion was reasonable and responded.

“Alright. Then I will explore the space where Ogre popped out and continue the conquest.”

When Ogre looked at the side of the wall he popped out of, he saw a room.

‘… Is this the room where they experimented on Ogre?’

When he saw the broken test tubes in the room, he guessed that this was the room where they experimented on Ogre.

After searching the room, they found a small amount of gold and boots.

Everyone immediately checked the items through the artifact.

[Boots containing the blessings of fairies (hero grade) – These boots contain the blessings of fairies. When worn, they make the user’s footsteps lighter and increase their agility by 5.]

‘This is really good.’

The item was very good, but there was one problem.

They were in the middle of a collaboration with the Myth Clan to conquer the dungeon.

‘…. The probability of the Myth Clan getting a larger share of the rewards when distributing the achievements is high, considering the high value of the item.’

It seemed to be a dungeon of heroic grade, and with Yoon Yeon directly participating, the chances were high that the Myth Clan would take that item.

Seeing everyone’s attention fixed on the item, Yoon Yeon spoke loudly.

“I understand your interest in the item, but we will continue with the strategy. We’ll distribute the rewards after the dungeon is cleared.”

Everyone nodded in response to her words and continued to move further into the dungeon.

*****

As they moved deeper inside, they came across a wide room that looked like a laboratory, and in it, a young man with golden hair and a black robe was sitting with his legs crossed on a chair.

“Hmm… intruders, welcome to my laboratory.”

[Encountered Boss Monster Mad Sorcerer Bakun.]

“Is this guy Bakun?”

Yoon Yeon tried to open the man’s status window, but it recognized him as a boss monster, so she couldn’t access his status.

Yoon Yeon addressed the man.

“… Are you Bakun?”

“Oh… who might this lovely lady be? Hehe… I’m going to have so much fun killing you! You seem like the perfect experimental material!”

“Crazy bastard.”

Yoon Yeon didn’t know what was going through his mind, but it seemed that this Bakun didn’t recognize who she was.

“Or it might be that you don’t know my appearance.”

“Hah, a lovely young lady? Using me as an experiment subject? … Me?”

“Well, your attitude is quite presumptuous. I was planning to keep you alive for your pretty face, you know.”

“Hah… You know I’m not one to be flattered by good looks. Are you ready to die by my hand?”

Suddenly, the guy called Bahun’s expression turned menacing as he interrupted.

“Could you please beg me to kill you? Where did you pick up that tone?”

“… You, me?”

“… You rascal. I may have a soft spot for spirited women, but don’t you dare talk back just because I’ve caught my test subject. Got it?”

Yoon Yeon, perhaps feeling that there was no need to continue the conversation with the guy, shouted at us.

“Let’s ignore the ravings of that lunatic and prepare for battle, everyone.”

Yoon Yeon, ignoring his words, seemed to have angered the guy, who suddenly stood up from his chair and yelled.

“You rascal… Please beg me to kill you! Everyone, come with me!”

Click –

When the guy pressed a button, the experiment chambers in the room shattered, and the monsters inside began to emerge.

“… Three ogres, numerous flesh constructs.”

These are all the monsters I saw earlier. There are three ogres in the same form I saw before and over twenty creatures with faces stuck to their fleshy bodies.

“First, I’ll take on the three ogres and the dark wizard. The rest of you, clean up the fleshlings and assist me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yeon immediately approached two of the ogres.

“You crazy bastard! You think you can handle me and three ogres by yourself? Your arrogance knows no bounds!”

“You’ll see.”

Yun Yeon began to pummel one of the ogres with his fists, leaving multiple holes in its body.

“Graaaah!”

“What, what the hell?!”

It was only now that the guy named Bahoon realized Yun Yeon was a formidable opponent as his complexion turned pale.

“Damn it! What the hell are you doing?!”

Before he knew it, Yun Yeon had taken down one of the ogres and then spoke.

“What, you didn’t even know who I was, and you were talking nonsense like that?”

“…. What?”

The guy suddenly began to mumble as if he had realized something.

“Wait… the martial arts uniform, the tied hair, the martial artist… you…”

“…”

“….. Hey, Ne-yeon, by any chance… are you the master of the Myth Clan?”

“Why? Did you blurt it out on purpose after finding out?”

“Damn it…! Why the hell is Ne-yeon here…?”

“You’re asking me that? Obviously, I came because I received a request. Can’t get any requests near the territory of the White Changeback while dealing with this mess?”

“…Damn it, should’ve listened to Inspiration-tangi.”

Turning a blind eye to Yoon Yeon, I focused on the battle situation of our party. Even though the flesh bodies were weak, I still needed to be cautious.

Certainly, it was evident that the people from the Myth Clan were tidying up more skillfully than our party. While our party was slower than them, we were gradually reducing the number of monsters.

Three flesh bodies gathered in the direction Mr. Howon was dealing with, so I sent a burst of flames in that direction.

Kwaang!

“Ouch! It hurts! It’s hot, Mom…!”

“Huuuaaaaah! Aaaaah!”

“Damn it…”

Curses involuntarily escaped my mouth. Watching the faces attached to the flesh bodies scream in tears while burning in the fire was something I couldn’t get used to no matter how many times I saw it.

Mr. Howon expressed his gratitude to me with a weary expression.

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me, Mr. Howon. After all, I still have some mana left.”

Mr. Howon’s expression looked extremely tired. Given the nature of battles, it was only natural that a tank had the most to do, protecting team members from monster attacks.

“…Honestly, I’m thankful that Mr. Howon is our tank.”

If Seo Yooju was the spear of our party, then Mr. Howon was our shield.

After a considerable amount of time had passed, some people had suffered minor injuries, but luckily, we had successfully cleared the flesh monsters.

Thud!

We heard a crashing sound, and when we turned our gaze, even the remaining ogres had fallen and were lying down.

“This is insane, how did he create them…!”

A guy named Baekho seemed to be in a panic after Yoon Yeon single-handedly annihilated the ogres.

“How…! How did he create them…! Those were my experiments…!”

Yoon Yeon approached the guy, turning his right arm, which seemed to be a bit stiff.

“What are you complaining about? You’re the one who created such absurd things and now you’re feeling wronged?”

“Shut up! My test subjects weren’t meant to disappear so pathetically! More importantly, I have one question for you: where did you get the people you used to create the chimeras?”

“What?”

It seemed that Yoon Yeon had the same question as I did, about where they had managed to get the materials to create so many chimeras. I, too, was curious.

“Where did you bring these people from?”

The man started to roll his eyes in different directions, as if he were examining the others, excluding Yoon Yeon.

Thump!

“Owweeeek!”

Yoon Yeon punched the man in the abdomen and spoke.

“Hey, stop rolling your eyes and tell the truth. Where did you get these people?”

“J-Jegir… Ow… K-kuh… Oh, someone, please help me! Hey, Yeong-Gam-Taeng, Sha-ri…!”

Thud!

“….Ugh!”

“What are you mumbling? Won’t you answer?”

“Owweeeek!”

Yoon Yeon raised his fist once more, and the man quickly stuttered out a response.

“Kuh… Just, wait…!”

“……”

“I will speak. So stop hitting! Damn it!”

“You have 3 seconds. Answer within that time. If you don’t answer, I will shatter every bone in your body.”

“Cra, craz…”

“One.”

“Just, just a moment… a different story!”

“Two.”

“East, East Alliance! I was rescued by the East Alliance!”

“…. East Alliance?”

“Yes, I was brought by the East Alliance!”

“…. Explain in detail. The East Alliance is probably indulging in civil war and oppression right now, aren’t they?”

“That’s why they can bring people like you! Since you’re also from the East Alliance, you should know…!”

“…Yun Yeon is from the East Alliance?”

I didn’t even know it in my dreams. Since I belonged to the clan in Varonia, I naturally thought Yun Yeon was from Varonia.

“There is no such thing as human rights there. You can buy slaves there at much cheaper prices than anywhere else.”

“…”

“If you think the situation in the Eastern Alliance is the same as when you were there four years ago, you’re mistaken. Currently, the Eastern Alliance is a mess, far worse than you imagine. In fact, foreigners, whom you call lawless, have seized control of more than 40 percent.”

After hearing his words, everyone fell into a heavy silence. The revelation that outlaws had taken over more than 40 percent of the Eastern Alliance was shocking.

Glancing briefly at Seo Yujoo’s expression, she remained calm.

‘… Is this flow similar to the first round?’

“Ha… Those bastards… It’s that chaotic?”

“… Do you really not know? The current Eastern Alliance is a place where even foreigners educated in the academy are sold as slaves. Naturally, from the perspective of a dark magician, it’s the easiest place to obtain experimental subjects…”

Unable to contain her anger at the fact that even academy newcomers were being sold as slaves, Yoon Yeon began to attack him as if she wanted to crush him.

“Aaargh! Please, mercy…!”

“…. Shut up.”

“I-I told you! Why are you doing this! Aaargh!”

As the guy named Ba-hun was being beaten, our eyes met, and suddenly, his pupils began to widen as if surprised.

‘… What is it?’

Feeling a sense of impending danger, I tried to leave the spot.

Suddenly, his body evaporated, turning into a black aura that disappeared.

‘What, what is it?’

Everyone seemed bewildered by the situation. It was inevitable for them to be bewildered, considering how the guy suddenly disappeared as if he evaporated into thin air.

Yun Yeon, who had been holding onto him, opened his mouth in disbelief.

“…. Where did this kid disappear to?”

“…. W-what? What happened…”

Everyone started uttering words in this absurd situation.

“Clan Master… Did you kill him?”

“…. No, I didn’t. He just vanished. In the blink of an eye.”

“What on earth… Could he be the type whose body doesn’t leave a corpse when he dies?”

“…. I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation.”

Even Yun Yeon seemed to be experiencing this situation for the first time.

The problem was, I had no mind to spare for them.

Because…

『 Hehehe… A dark sorcerer! What an unexpected turn of events! 』

This insane guy had entered my body.

‘Damn, what’s going on! Damn it…!’

Fortunately, for the time being, my body moved as I intended.

“If I were to mention that I’ve entered your body, I will make you self-destruct. Act as if nothing is wrong for now.”

“Damn, damn! Can you read my mind by any chance?”

“Obey my command. For now, leave this place with them. Do you understand?”

“Damn it… Having this kind of ability?”

It was unbelievable. If it continued like this, there was no way to kill him. No, whether I killed or left, as soon as I was no longer of use, it seemed I would be fated to die by his hand after leaving the dungeon.

As the others eventually disappeared and did not reappear, they seemed to have assumed they were dead and were searching the room. Probably searching for the Holy Grail.

For now, following his words, I also began to pretend to search the room according to his instructions.

“It’s frustrating to talk to myself. Hey, imagine that you’re talking to me in your mind. Then, you’ll be able to communicate with me.”
