I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 21

021.
“Phew.. Did you finish it?”
Lee Do-hyeok spoke softly while sharpening his double axes.
-Ugh
-lol
-That line here?
The forbidden phrase ‘Did you harm me?’ has been used since ancient times as a magical spell to revive someone.
It’s an old cliché that an enemy who’s been attacked will come back to life like a ghost just by hearing those words.
Swish-
But now it didn’t seem like that would happen.
Even though it is the rule of the country that saying such things will revive the enemy, it is only to a certain extent.

-Then will you be alive?
The donation that rings at that time.
-Really lol
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋAre you sure you’re still alive?
-You killed him!
-Huh? Is Dohyuk sensei your friend?
-If they’re still alive, their name isn’t Seokker, it’s Immortal. -Did you kill them? You killed them!
The viewers’ chat, filled with laughter, continued.
The name of the special creature that Lee Do-hyeok had faced just a moment ago was Sucker.
According to the setting, some zombies were special creatures whose bodies had mutated due to a virus that had mutated, giving them a bizarre appearance.
As the name suggests, it had huge mouths that looked like squid suction cups all over its body.
Even its appearance itself was a disgusting sight with all of its human skin peeled off (although it was given a somewhat game-like appearance to ensure the mental stability of gamers), making it one of the creatures that [It Kills To] users were extremely reluctant to encounter.
The difficulty that comes from using the suction cups on its hands and feet to jump around on ceilings, walls, and other surfaces and attack players is an added bonus.
“Ugh. It’s gross.”
“hmm.”
Anyway, these are the 10 Seokkers that Lee Do-hyeok encountered.
No matter how much he shouted at them, “Did you hurt me?”, there was no way they would come back to life.
Until a little while ago, it was a stone, but now it’s a stone/ker.
All of them have their heads and torsos separated.
Even though most of the special creatures in [It Kills To] boast a freakish vitality that makes them not easily killed no matter how much damage they take, there’s nothing they can do when they’re half-dead.
“They don’t seem to be that difficult. Judging from the fact that they can be killed with one shot if you aim for the vital point accurately.”
-That’s because you’re the one who wrote the article.
-Originally, even if you shoot with a grenade launcher, you won’t die in one shot lol
-ㅇㅇ Hardcore standard is Spark bullet full charge or flame bullet 2 hits health-? But why do they get gold so easily?
-How are you going to live if I chop off your balls with an axe?
-Originally, the masters were the ones who caught them with knives. If you cut them with a cold weapon, the hit stiffness increases.
“Aha. So these are the mobs that were originally made to be caught like me. It’s somehow easy.”
-?
-Far-off dogwood
-Sweetie

-Dude;; We sneak up from behind and make a surprise attack without making a sound. Even then, we only do it occasionally when we need to conserve our flame grenades. It’s one of the playstyles of [It Kills To] experts, called knife assassination.
This strategy was introduced because in modes above Hardcore, the ammunition and secondary weapons that can be farmed are limited.
Since you don’t have enough bullets to use in boss battles, save as much as you can.
It was also to prevent other creatures from rushing in when they heard the gunshot.
Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re fighting like Lee Do-hyuk showed a little while ago.
-We can’t fight head-on like you lol
– Go back slowly and take a deep breath – That’s the best option
-F*ck, how can you even fight against 10 of them?
-Really, if just two of them show up, I should take out the grenade launcher right away.
“Oh.. really? Judging from their patterns, they just aim straight ahead. Then, wouldn’t it be okay to predict that and dodge while slashing at the right timing?”
Lee Do-hyuk says that with an indifferent expression.
“······.”
Ji-an looked at the scene from behind with a weary expression.
In fact, that was one of the many reasons why Ji-an had such a high chance of Lee Do-hyeok’s success on the show.
That shameless look that comes out naturally, as if breathing.
I wondered if that was a concept of its own, and Ji-an even asked me about it herself after the broadcast yesterday.
Were all the things you said during the broadcast as strategy really true?
The answer was, of course, yes.
“Hmm. Okay, look. This guy’s arms are about this long, right? So, if you extend your claws, you can think about the maximum attack range and adjust the spacing accordingly. Of course, since it’s a mob you’ve never met before, you might find that his arms are stretched out or he attacks from a distance, so keep that in mind and try to attack him accordingly······”
Look.
The image of my brother explaining to the viewers with sincerity right now.
‘I guess that’s because I asked them not to simplify the law of relativity too much, but to explain it in more detail to the viewers…’
But if you look at its essence, it’s not that different from the brute force strategy we talked about yesterday, ‘Just dodge with a swipe and stab with a thud!’
In fact, the reaction in the chat window was similar to that time.
-aha!
-What kind of method is that?!
-No; Is this not okay?
-Swoop.. This is such an easy method···
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Like last time, there are viewers who like that kind of brother.
Maybe that side of my brother was the one that was most suitable for broadcasting.
Tiring-
[‘Patheutcheomeokneunpadakjibapba’ donated 1,000 won.]
-So you’re saying that if you predicted this in advance and it turns out to be wrong, you can just avoid it?
“That’s correct. You understood it well.”
-Ugh hahahahaha
-Tsk tsk
-That’s correct, okay?
-How to avoid being hit: Dodge before being hit
-Oh, that’s what it was!
Tiring-
[‘Lee Do-hyeok’s disciple’ donated 10,000 won.]
-I understand correctly, Master. In addition to this, for humanoid mobs, you can also predict their next moves through the movement of their shoulders, waist, and legs, right?
“Oh! That’s right. That’s how it should be. Of course, if you have a weapon in your hand, such as a sword or spear, including the gap······”
-The disciple appears ㄷㄷ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy do you believe this?
-This guy is seriously funnyㅋㅋㅋ
Even the viewers who heard the explanation and made fun of my brother in return, and my brother who was completely fooled by those viewers.
For Gian, it was a moment where she couldn’t help but think that maybe that was her true talent in broadcasting.
‘My brother wasn’t the oblivious type···’
I didn’t expect people to be so oblivious in this situation.
Well, maybe that was natural.
It would be extremely difficult for someone who was born with the greatest singing talent to explain how to sing well to someone who is tone-deaf and doesn’t even know what note he is producing or how to sing loudly.
‘Yeah. Whatever it is···’
As long as the show is delicious, that’s fine.
“Oh, yes, that’s exactly right. Just like the way I told you about avoiding acidic liquids last time···”
“Oppa. Stop explaining and let’s go clear the next stage.”
With that thought in mind, Ji-an grabbed her brother who was giving the ‘Lee Do-hyeok Lecture’ that everyone was listening to with one ear and letting it go out the other.
**
A similar moment to when Lee Do-hyuk was giving a passionate speech to the viewers.
Someone’s broadcast.
“Ugh!”
With a loud roar, someone wearing a dazzling dancer’s outfit swings a sword vigorously forward.
hook?
A woman in a dancer’s outfit who continually pressures her opponent, forcing them into a corner.
Bam! Bam!
This is a sight that would have been admired by other gamers who are experts in fighting games such as Ultimate Fighter or Iron Fist.
If someone who didn’t know saw it, it would have seemed like she was just trying to insert a combo, but to those who knew, it would have been obvious that every single one of her movements was a sophisticated psychological warfare.
Rather than swinging the sword with honest timing, he mixes in delays here and there, pretends to aim for the upper part with the blade, then induces a guard, then attacks the middle with the sword in the other hand, and after hitting a blow, intentionally pauses for a beat before hitting the next blow, etc., leading the opponent’s movements and continuing to make easy and three-way choices.
“···Hmph!”
The opponent who lets out a sigh of embarrassment.
I’m defending against the onslaught of consecutive attacks pretty well, but I’m starting to get more and more dizzy.
Phew!
Eventually, the woman in the dancer’s costume repeatedly strikes the sword, breaking through the opponent’s defenses.
Boom!
A dash followed immediately.
A strong impact is delivered to the opponent whose guard has been penetrated.
An opponent who is pushed back continuously.
I tried to evade by hastily moving my body away with a back dash, but I was already at a dead end due to the previous attacks.
Kwaaaa!
As it hits the wall, a loud noise is heard and a cloud of sand and dust rises up.
But it didn’t end there.
“Ugh!”
An opponent who is already floating in the air and gets hit by another attack.
The woman in the dancer’s costume continued her attack.
A series of attacks that pour down without regard to the blade, sword stroke, or sword weapon.
Even if your head hits the wall, your body floats up and back towards the wall.
The opponent tried everything to escape the combo, but the woman in the dancer’s costume easily avoided it and countered it instead.
[victory]
A woman in a dancer’s costume who eventually won the match by exhausting all of her opponent’s stamina.
It was the girl in black.
“Phew.”
A dark-haired girl exhaling a long breath she had been holding.
Although it was a victory with almost no loss in HP, it was not a victory that was as overwhelming as it seemed.
There were several times when she almost got pushed into the opposite direction because her timing was stolen.
Since it was a ranked game, her opponent was also a high tier player, only 200 points behind her.
Even looking at the record of 26 wins and 2 losses, it was assumed to be an account with a sub-character.
Now, one more defeat has been added, making it three defeats, but seeing that he has climbed to the Master rank with such a win rate, he can easily guess the tier of his opponent’s main character.
‘Probably out of the blue.’
“It looks like a sub-account. It stinks. But I don’t think the character was the main one.”
-Wow
-26 wins, 2 losses, master class sub-character? Ka-To
-Who am I? ‘The Flower of the Ice Age, the Black Girl’
– The chat window was filled with praise for her who had dodged her opponent, moved sideways, and then grabbed him in return.
In reality, the girl in black was able to guess the level of her opponent through their movements and motions throughout the encounter.
And that makes it even more incomprehensible.
‘It definitely works on Gautiers too.’
Why on earth didn’t it work before?
Beyond not being able to understand, I felt like my thoughts were being read through and through.
No matter how many fake moves you mix, he won’t be fooled, and when he tries to strike because he thinks he has an opportunity, he returns with a counter because it was an opening he intentionally gave to induce his own movements.
That distant feeling of being unable to do anything was still vivid.
‘So I was wondering if it was because I hadn’t been concentrating for a while.’
Looking at the fact that he’s on a winning streak in ranked games right now, I don’t think that’s the case.
‘Who the hell was it?’
Is this the current pro or former pro of Ulpa?
Or maybe he’s not an Iceman, but a pro on the Iron Fist side.
One thing you can be sure of is that no matter what game you play, you’ll be hearing the best of the best.
Anatol was the one and only GOAT in Ulfa, but in Iron Fist, he is just one of many contenders for a throne that has not yet been decided.
Perhaps the mysterious master that the girl in black had met was one of those competing with Anatole to become the best in the world.
‘Yeah. I guess that’s why he said that to me···’
Maybe··· maybe···
There was no malicious intent, was there?
If we try to turn the positive circuit on, the other person may not have meant to tease us, but may have genuinely wondered about it…
“Huh? Guys. Just a moment.”
At that moment, a notification window suddenly caught my eye.
The screen briefly switched to show the girl in black on air.
‘You got a friend request?’
She is a black girl who usually keeps her information private.
Therefore, the only people who can send her a friend request are those who have battled with her or acquaintances who have her personal code.
Bb-
“···?”
It was obvious which of the friends who had come in this time were among them.
“Eek, eeeek···!”
The girl in black shivered as she checked the friend request she had received.
Although the scene was not shown on the broadcast screen, the quiet sound was heard as it was.
-What happened?
-??
-What are you doing?
“Hey, what the ??!”
A girl in black who spits out curse words that are even automatically filtered.
How could it not be so?
A mysterious master who suddenly appears and pretends to be a newbie at first, then fools himself into making fun of him.
As if the master’s play was firmly engraved in her mind-
[Friend Request]
[Hmm, is that right?]
It was a friend request written in five letters that I still can’t forget.
‘Now you can even change your nickname?!’
