I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 23
Only Noblemtl
023.
After the cutscenes ended, Lee Do-hyuk felt control of his body returning.
The battle did not start right away.
“No! Isn’t AI really going too far?”
With those words, Gian paused the game for a moment.
Tiring-
[‘General00’ donated 1,000 won.]
-Isn’t that…your older brother who’s being too much?
-Really lol
-Oh, then why don’t you just cut it with two axes?
-Honestly, if I were an AI, I’d be mad if I saw someone break the game without using a single bullet.
-??? : Try breaking this too, human
“No matter what, it’s like that! How can I break that!”
“Are those guys that strong?”
“Of course. All the guys around there are special creatures, and while Chloe isn’t that hard to defeat as the final boss, that Merder over there is no joke. He’s so tough and tough… and he even turns invisible when he attacks.”
At Ji-an’s words, Do-hyuk looked inside the iron bars.
Three giant venomous snakes coiled around Chloe.
In its wide-open mouth, dozens of sharp teeth reminiscent of saw blades could be seen.
Those guys are probably Merder.
‘I can see it fine now. Does it only become temporarily transparent when attacking?’
A guess based on appearance.
Tiring-
[‘National Hip Hop Top Lee Ji-eun’ donated 1,000 won.]
-If you shoot it with a gun, the area that was hit will become transparent. Yeah, if you break it like that, a donation confirming that guess rang out.
A donation containing a rough strategy.
‘If you shoot a gun, you lose your invisibility···.’
“It doesn’t have to be a gun, right? It just releases if you get hit, right?”
Lee Do-hyeok asked that.
A kind viewer donated a strategy guide to help me out, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to use it as is.
-Ah.. ahh..
-You have to hit it with a gun?
-You can’t use that method here.
-? why
-There’s a melee weapon only mission lol
-If that’s the case, then why can’t your little sister just shoot?
-Ssup.. That’s it..
For a moment, the chat window becomes dizzy.
Viewers who watched the broadcast from the beginning yesterday or watched the video donation in Black Oak’s room would understand the current situation, but those who only watched Lee Do-hyeok’s play, which became an issue in the community, did not.
Even if Lee Do-hyeok says he has to use only melee weapons because of the mission, wouldn’t it be okay for Ji-an to shoot around Lee Do-hyeok to reveal Merder?
“Hmm… that’s it.”
Lee Do-hyuk glanced at the chat window and then turned his head to look at Ji-an.
Her equipment slots are filled with grenade launchers, shotguns, and submachine guns, but…
-There’s a reason why the host hasn’t fired a single shot until now…
-You can shoot, but it’s impossible to ‘hit’ it by shootingㅋㅋㅋ
-Are you that bad of a hand?
-You’re more clumsy than you think.
-I see
“Me… You want me to shoot?”
Gian met her brother’s eyes with an anxious expression.
The chance she’s been waiting for to do something other than cheering has finally arrived.
‘Eek!’
But honestly, I wasn’t confident that I could do well.
She brought all the firearms with her just in case she needed to farm them, but because of the reality mode, she felt their weight and had a hard time even aiming properly.
It’s not even a fixed target, and I have to avoid my brother and aim for the places where Merder is likely to be.
You have to shoot only around Lee Do-hyeok, who is already running around with a gun that you can’t hit.
‘It’s burdensome even just following it with my eyes.’
Gulp-
Gian swallows nervously.
But there’s nothing I can do.
Who else could be here besides her?
She is the only one who can help her brother.
then.
“Okay. Just trust me, brother.”
Ji-an says that with a solemn expression on her face, as if she has made up her mind.
Why, isn’t there such a saying?
I’m so tired of working!
If you need me, oppa!
What can’t I do···
“Huh?”
Swish- swish- swish-
“Oh… Oppa? What are you doing?”
“Oh, just in case.”
Lee Do-hyeok opens the equipment slot window with a calm expression and removes all the grenade launchers, shotguns, etc. that were in Gian’s slot.
Even though it is a reality mode, it has a certain amount of arcade-like elements, and since it is a two-player game called [It Kills Too], you can view and unequip your opponent’s equipment.
He opened his mouth.
“If Gian shoots you to help me, it’ll be a big problem.”
“..to?”
Rather than entrusting Gian with revealing Merder’s appearance, he wanted to block any opportunity for her to attempt such a thing.
Viewers who heard the conversation between the two burst into laughter in the chat window.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-No, just give me a chance to shoot lol
-No, this is correct
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkk but then where the hell is it?
-No matter what, isn’t this over the top?
Of course, there were some viewers who did not understand that.
At that moment, a video donation from a viewer rang out.
[‘ㅇㅇ’ donated 1,000 won.]
-You’ll understand when you see this (video)
“Ah.. ah..”
Lee Do-hyuk pressed play, leaving behind Ji-an’s shocked exclamation.
[Phuk! Sizzle, Phew!]
[······]
At first, Lee Do-hyeok was shown holding the neck hugger.
The view switches back to Gian.
And then the screams and gunfire followed.
[Whoa, whaaaaah!]
[Tada tatang!]
[Ugh!]
[Ting- Ting-]
Finally, the sound of a bullet shell.
It was a video that perfectly captured the scene that day, and only the highlights.
-?????
-Ugh lol
-?
-It’s still funny even when I watch it againㅋㅋㅋ
-lol
Thanks to Yeongdo, there were some viewers who were only then able to understand the current situation.
– At this point, if the leader were to shoot at Sensei Dohyeok, wouldn’t he end up hitting somewhere else?
-oh
-Oh, okay
-Are you a genius?
**
However, Lee Do-hyeok didn’t take away all of Ji-an’s weapons.
“When the battle starts, throw this forward.”
Lee Do-hyeok gave the grenade he had farmed earlier into Ji-an’s hand.
“You know how to throw it, right? First, pull out the safety pin. Ah! You have to hold this part tightly. And when you throw it, your posture is···.”
“Ugh. I know that much.”
-Okay, this is click.
-lol
-I have a feeling he won’t take out the safety pin.
-Hey, no way
-Don’t stack flags
“Oh really, guys, I can use a grenade pretty well too!”
“That’s right. Our Gian is not stupid.”
-yes?
-Are you treating me like the biggest idiot?
-The child is good
-Ah haha, it’s true that I’m stupid, but I’m not an idiot.
However, Lee Do-hyeok once again emphasized that you must pull out the safety pin and throw it just in case, and he even said that he would open the iron bars right after he started the game, so throw it then.
Bb-
Iron fist
After that the pause was lifted.
Within moments, the iron bars opened and made a creaking sound.
“Hey! Take this!”
Gian threw the grenade into the iron bars with a shout.
Lee Do-hyeok squeezed the two axes in his hands and timed his leap forward.
‘3.. 2.. now!’
Taat!
Kieeeek! Kweeek-!
Whether it was the player going over the iron bars that triggered it or not, the creatures all turned to look at Lee Do-hyeok as he entered.
The Merders also look at him and let out screams from their mouths.
Kwaaang?!
At that moment, a grenade explodes in the air.
Shreds of finely torn debris fly in all directions with a loud noise.
A situation where you could easily end up getting hit by Lee Do-hyeok.
So, at that moment, the viewers were about to question Lee Do-hyuk’s entry.
Kwajik?!
-uh?
-You came too quickly
-and
-and
-?
-Wow
Before that chat could even end, Lee Do-hyeok stabs the axe blade into the neck of the creature right in front of him.
Then, he uses the dead creature’s corpse as a shield to block the grenade fragments and advances further.
Taat! Blame!
First of all, it was Lee Do-hyeok who ran towards the Merders, ignoring the other creatures.
These guys are currently not in a state of invisibility due to the grenade explosion.
Lee Do-hyeok looked at them.
The tongue visible inside the mouth doesn’t look very sturdy, so it’s probably not used for attack purposes.
Murder’s main attack method is to surprise players while in a transparent state and either squeeze them or bite them.
‘If that’s all it is, then so be it.’
In the past, among the many alien species that Lee Do-hyeok had faced, there was one that changed its molecular structure when attacking, allowing all light to pass through and becoming transparent.
A tentacle monster that was not in the form of a snake, but rather was made up of dozens of tentacles that were even more terrifying.
Compared to that time, three snakes seemed like nothing.
And indeed.
?Whew!
It turns out it wasn’t anything special.
Lee Do-hyeok dodged Merder’s attack that came at him by a very narrow margin.
The axe blade, fired straight at him, lodged itself in the upper part of Merder’s eye.
He swings the axe with more force as it is deeply embedded.
The area where the brain is probably located.
‘Shallow.’
He said there was no regenerative ability.
Instead, there are only scales that are difficult to penetrate.
That was right.
Even though I applied enough force, the feeling in my hand is not good.
There was a reason why Gian was reluctant.
Even if he had caught it using a firearm, rather than a melee weapon, he would have needed to fire dozens of bullets directly to make a hit.
Since that guy can even become transparent, it’s not for nothing that he’s a boss mob.
“Ugh!”
Lee Do-hyeok exhaled and drew a long line with the axe blade he had pulled out.
Then, reflexively, he swung the axe on the opposite side.
Sigh.
The neck of the creature aiming at him flew into the air.
Naturally, it wasn’t just one person who arrived in front of Lee Do-hyeok.
Before he knew it, several zombies had come right in front of him.
The guys rushed towards Lee Do-hyeok.
Kwajik!
Kwajik!
Even if it’s a zombie, if the head and body are separated, it falls over.
Lee Do-hyeok dodged the attacks aimed at him and took down two zombies by aiming straight for the neck.
But there were also damages that came with it.
Quieeeek-!
Merder, who had first aimed at him, raises his head high and screams.
It looks like he’s angry because of the attack earlier.
I had no choice but to leave him alone while I dealt with the zombies.
It seemed like I had to attack the affected area multiple times to pierce the scales, so I had no choice.
‘If it becomes like this···’
It seemed like a change of plans was needed.
Taking advantage of the gap left by the impact of the grenade, I tried to catch one Meredith first.
The scales are harder than you might think, and dozens of zombies are quite cumbersome.
First of all, it seemed right to start by clearing out the trash mobs.
That was when.
hook-!
Lee Do-hyuk’s head tilted to the side.
Sudden movement.
Moments later, a thorny tentacle swept over where his face would have been if he hadn’t tilted his head back.
Chloe’s surprise attack, which had been quiet until now.
-and
-It’s really chewy
-Are you a real human?
-What is physical?!!!
-damn
-How did you really avoid it?
Just from playing so far, the chat window has already become a mess.
Viewers are expressing all kinds of admiration.
But it was still too early for them to react that way.
Why?
Taat!
Lee Do-hyeok leaned his body forward again and jumped forward as if using that strength.
The axes danced at his fingertips.
And what followed was a one-sided massacre.
Crunch! First one’s neck is broken.
Use the zombie corpse as a shield to block the pouring attacks.
Crack! This time I split another guy’s head open.
There is not the slightest error in any of those movements.
A massacre that was carried out as if everything had been calculated, avoiding all the attacks from the zombies, Meredith, and Chloe by a mere sheet of paper.
Of course, [It Kills To] is a horror game, so the difficulty of avoiding the creatures’ attacks is not that high.
The pre-action of the mob itself is large, and the speed of the attack is also enough to react to most attacks if you focus on it.
But what if there isn’t just one such attack?
What if dozens or hundreds of attacks come pouring in from all directions?
Avoiding all of that is no longer within our grasp.
In addition to that,
Crunch?! Crunch?!
One axe at a time.
What if you’re severing the zombies’ airways?
I can only stand in silent amazement.
“······.”
So, even though it was just for a moment, the chat window froze for a moment.
Thousands of viewers were not chatting as if they had made a promise.
Gian was also blankly watching the scene inside from outside the iron bars.
What broke the silence was Lee Do-hyeok’s muttering.
“···This is a big deal.”
‘This is more fun than I thought.’
A feeling of elation that comes from being in a state of extreme concentration.
Even if it’s not real, the adrenaline rush of heightened sensations.
It all feels so much fun.
Is this why people get addicted to games?
It was at that moment when Lee Do-hyeok was having such pointless thoughts.
-Wow
-and
-damn
-??
-Wow
-Crazy
-?????
-(After catching all the zombies) This is a big deal.
-Ah, lol. There are no more guys to catch besides the bosses, so this is a big deal. The chat window started to open at a crazy speed.
