Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 253

253 – The Returner Wanders (7)

There are some things that you only feel after it’s over.

I didn’t realize it when I was sitting in the chair, but when I got up to go to the bathroom, my head started spinning and my back started to hurt a lot.

If you suddenly stop after running, you will feel nauseous and your whole body will start shaking.

The food is so delicious that you feel like your stomach is going to burst because you eat it so hard.

“Wow… “

My current situation was the same. It seems that maintaining the ‘magic filter’ state while continuing to regress was much more difficult than I thought. When I come back to reality and see my stomach turn inside out just by being blank.

It’s similar to the situation where I had to continuously draw circles with my left hand while going about my daily life. It may not be considered a difficult action, but if you keep drawing circles, you will inevitably become overloaded at some point. When I was liberated from there, my physical condition became abnormal due to the rebound.

“A little… “I’ll lie down.”

“Relax. Should I lie down with you?”

“Then that’s fine.”

After laying down on the pillow and looking up at the ceiling, I realized that I had returned. You escaped. You survived. You somehow broke through the ‘floor full of poison.’ That you were so afraid of.

If it weren’t for the ‘Girl’s Support’ trait, it would have been trapped forever, and similarly, it would have been trapped even if Jiwon wasn’t there. Even if the king of the maze had no family, he would have been trapped, and even if he had not handed over the throne, he would have been trapped. The result of miracle upon miracle. I was really lucky… There is no other way to explain it.

But when I think about the maze, a question comes to mind.

“No, so how did you make the 10-minute cut?”

“Uh? “When are you talking about it?”

“Just before I entered the 25th floor. In the last episode. You woke up a little over 10 minutes later. How did you do that?”

“Ah~”

Choi Ji-won opens her mouth and says, “Ah,” As if she didn’t know I was going to point that out. I’ve always wondered about that. Indeed, how did Choi Ji-won break this level? How was it possible to clear the wide maze in just 10 minutes?

“It’s difficult to explain this in words. The maze looks roughly like this, and the things you need to bring are roughly here, right?”

Choi Ji-won takes out her cell phone and draws something on the notepad app. At a glance, it seemed like a brief map of a maze.

“Because the road is structurally winding… It was designed to maximize the flow of traffic. “Right?”

“Uh. That’s right.”

“So I also had a lot of worries. What should I do with this… “I said.”

If you simply run in a straight line, it may be dangerous, but since it is a ‘maze’, it is an impossible time. However, Choi Ji-won drew an X with his finger at a specific location.

“But what’s interesting is that the wall here… Here. Here. And here and here. If you break the wall like this 6 times, there will be a path that you can run in a straight line. So, I activated ‘Heart of the Battle’ and collected items by destroying the wall as quickly as possible.”

“… “What?”

“I thought about a path that would allow me to move while minimally destroying the wall. A sword isn’t a suitable tool for breaking down things like walls, but it has magical powers, so what happens? Later, I ran out of magical power and became addicted to poison… Because I can move even if I’m addicted.”

“… “Is that possible?”

Unlike me, who completely ruled out breaking down walls, Jiwon Choi, on the other hand, studied ‘the most efficient way to break down walls.’ I must have a top-class doping machine called the Heart of Seomjeon, I must have an invincible sword Bungbung, and I must be confident in my own strength… They just destroyed everything on stage.

Running fast and strong… There’s a lot of magic attribute. If you have the ability, this may be the fastest method. In fact, she even proved it.

“No, since you came out after 10 minutes, I thought there was some clever way… “

But from my perspective, should I say it’s disappointing or sad? I thought Choi Ji-won had discovered her own strategy, but when I heard that she pushed me away with such force, I let out a long sigh.

“Could it be that you used my clear time as a clue?”

“Uh.”

“… Sorry. I thought about it up to that point… I couldn’t do it. I just wanted to test whether the ‘magic filter’ can be maintained even in extreme situations and teach you the technology… I was in a hurry… “

Choi Ji-won apologizes repeatedly, saying she was short-thinking. I explained to her in detail how I beat the 25th floor, and she nodded with admiration.

“Wow. Is this possible?”

“… “I didn’t know either.”

“As you said, once the King of the Maze has collected all the items… He suddenly turns into a goblin. Kill it to clear it. But I didn’t know that you would think of using that in reverse and passing the throne to another goblin… “

“Then how did you think I would wake up?”

In Choi Ji-won’s words, I felt that he was implying, ‘I thought I would wake up in another way.’

When I think about it, that’s right. Didn’t Choi Ji-won think I could break it, so she obediently sent me to the 25th floor? But when I actually went in, I was on the verge of despair because there was no strategy… It seemed like there was some kind of method that I couldn’t discover.

“How did you know how to break it? There is the ‘black space’ you mentioned earlier. “Isn’t that a place that quite a few players have discovered?”

“Oh, but?”

Do other players know about ‘black space’? I thought it was a secret place that only I knew about, but I felt a little sick when I heard that everyone knew about it. I feel a little bad.

But when I thought about it carefully, it made sense. I focused on ‘magic power’ and found the black space. But if you’re on the 25th floor, you’re not only a top-level player with a lot of talent, but you also know how to use magic. It is only natural that there are players other than me who have found that space.

Anyway, Choi Ji-won continues what he was saying.

“If you try to force the ‘King of the Maze’ in there… The King of the Maze’s invincibility is halfway removed. It’s not completely solved, just a little more than half? It’s not something I did, it’s a story told to me by an acquaintance of a woman I met on the 23rd floor.”

“… Uh. “I tried it too.”

Is there anyone else than me who has tried such a pervert method? After all, the world is wide and there are many people who do strange things.

“The problem is that the king of the labyrinth does not die if immortality is only half solved… “

“What?”

From noble mtl dot com

“It is said that in this state, if you bring even two ‘objects’, the king of the maze will die. “I heard that it takes about 20 minutes to wake up like this, so I thought you would wake up this way.”

“… “What?”

No. So, it seems that immortality is being weakened by placing the king of the maze in the ‘black space’… In that situation, I only need to bring two ‘things’?

If you optimize very well… Collecting two objects itself takes 10 minutes. It takes 5 minutes to return to the King of the Maze and rub against the black space. It takes 5 minutes to return to the starting point. It is possible in terms of time, but…

“… “

The idea of erasing only half of the King of the Maze’s immortality and breaking it with a straight attack method… It’s the kind of thinking I couldn’t do. It’s both embarrassing and fun.

“But what… It’s okay because I woke up. Right?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“… Should I take a break? Now.”

“Is that so?”

We looked at each other and laughed. It was a slightly awkward, yet slightly warm laugh. After laughing for a while, I buried my head in the pillow and stretched out my arms to wrap around Jiwon’s shoulders.

“Thank you.”

“Me too.”

Falling asleep was an instant, and when I woke up, my arm, which had been used as an arm pillow, was gently resting on my stomach. It seemed like Jiwon was considerate of the possibility that my arm would return due to numbness.

“Wow.”

The reward obtained on the 25th floor was surprisingly a very useful item.

-Ring of Transformation [Enhanced]

-If you wear this ring, you can change the shape of your clothes. The appearance changes, but the material and properties do not.

-It can be strengthened and its properties can change.

The method of using this ring of transformation was very simple.

First. I touch the clothes I wear every day while wearing this ring. I touched it while wearing my pajamas.

Second. Wear armor.

Third, when magical power was infused into the ring, the armor changed into the form of pajamas! It even maintained its soft texture, and when I rubbed it with a knife, it didn’t even cut me!

Just like coordination items sold in games, you can now freely wear clothes while maintaining your defense… !

Of course, something this useful is a privilege limited to a few. It is said that if you do this with a bracelet that is not [Enhanced] Attached, it will turn into a solid, angled pajama-shaped armor. I guess I have to beat the 25th floor quickly.

This was useful in addition to its appearance; it was unconditionally advantageous because armor was not only not very comfortable but also restricted movement. It can catch the opponent off guard.

“How about me?”

Choi Ji-won also returned to the pants and dress shirt fashion seen in the tutorial. Jeans and a dress shirt are not practical… Because it’s still pretty. Isn’t it enough to be pretty? (Of course, I will change my clothes when I go to the 26th floor.)

“Even though there are items like this, why do players at official events wear armor?”

“Aren’t you trying to let down your guard? Take care of your external image as well.”

“That makes sense.”

I took about a week to organize my rewards and let my mind and body rest. In my dream, there was a king of the maze covered in blood, and although I felt sorry, it was something we agreed upon, so we decided to take it easy. (I was started and woke up.)

After eating all that delicious food, getting plenty of sleep, going on dates, playing games, etc.

The time for regression has arrived.

It’s time to move on.

[You have suffered damage.]

[It returns to the moment when you first entered the 25th floor.]

***

It is not difficult to break a floor again that has been broken once. Especially if it takes the form of a maze.

After I quickly cleared the 25th floor.

“Let’s go.”

I entered the 26th floor immediately.

-Entered on the 26th floor.

**

And, as soon as we entered, we met again.

“… “Anael?”

“Junho! It’s an honor to see you again!”

Anael and the sign angel waiting for us on the 26th floor.
