Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 265

265 – Proved by the Regressor (5)

There is no need to think hard. You only need to look at the essence.

The warlock you fought earlier? It is true that this guy has a good head. We figured out within a short period of time that Choi Ji-won was the leader of our group and started psychological warfare. We knew that he would not harm Choi Ji-won or me anyway, so we dealt with the weakest Italian man first. He made the most reasonable choice in terms of weakening his power and increasing his chances of winning.

Perhaps the skeleton soldiers were just simpletons. The real power would be a hand rising from the floor, or something similar. There is a reason for Anael’s warning on the 26th floor. Players with a light heart will not get through this. Especially if you haven’t trained properly on the first floor.

“But it doesn’t work for Choi Ji-won.”

Choi Ji-won is strong. He’s incredibly strong. He said It is strong normally, but when’Heart of the Demon War’is activated, it becomes unstoppable. Judging from the strength of the other players I saw on the 26th floor, I dare say they are the best in the world. Even if it is not the strongest, it is close to it.

Warlock? Strong. But Choi Ji-won is stronger. There is an opponent on the 27th floor that the current Choi Ji-won cannot beat? Then, since this tower cannot be broken anyway, you can just give up comfortably.

However, Choi Ji-won is kind. When using ‘Heart of the Demon War’, overflowing magical energy inevitably leaks out, and sparks fly out of nearby creatures just by existing. Of course, ‘warriors’ are also within that scope.

Basically, Choi Ji-won, who is reluctant to harm his allies, needs to be without warriors in order to demonstrate his power. This is an obvious fact.

〈27th floor〉

-Help the warriors defeat the ‘warlock who made a contract with the devil.’

The part that bothers me is the part where it is explicitly stated to help the warriors. Even if I defeat the warlock without warriors, will I be recognized as clearing the 27th floor?

“But it’s not too late to think about it after trying this.”

Of course, it is not too late to worry if the clear process is not completed after ‘clearing without warriors’. Rather than going through the trouble of fighting with warriors from the beginning, it seemed much easier to figure out a warlock and then think of a way to fight with warriors.

“So, what did you want to say earlier?”

This is inside the log cabin that the ‘Captain’ provided for us. I leave the meat and bread, which are full of delicious scent, and an Italian man tilts his head towards me.

“You said you had something urgent to say, but immediately the exhibitionist came in and stopped talking.”

“That exhibitionist isn’t talking about me, is he?”

“I was talking about the blonde ‘captain,’ but it’s not wrong.”

“… “

Leaving the French woman alone, I tapped her on the table and chose my words carefully.

“First of all… Among my acquaintances, there is a person who has the ‘ability to implant memories.’”

“… “The ability to implant memories?”

“Yes.”I cannot reveal his name because he is not well known and possesses very dangerous abilities.”

First, summon a virtual ‘acquaintance’. Since the status window and characteristics were created, all kinds of unusual abilities have appeared in the world. When I teleport, I transform into an animal, my body turns into steel… Therefore, the ‘ability to implant memories’ is a quite possible ability. It may actually exist.

“He instilled in me ‘the memory of clearing the 27th floor.’ In fact, I didn’t even know I had that memory until I came here. “I couldn’t recognize it.”

“But when you got to the 27th floor, those memories came back?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… “

Speaking from the standpoint of having already experimented with Choi Ji-won on the 25th floor, this is a possible tactic. Choi Ji-won, who returned after clearing the 25th floor, had those memories come back as soon as she entered the 25th floor. There is only the ‘minor’ disadvantage of having a means to retain the memory or transmit it to others.

Wait for a second. If this is the case, does Dok Soo-hee also have memories of the future? I hadn’t thought about it until now. Anyway.

“Because I have memories of this person… I know where the ‘warlock’ mentioned in the status window is. It’s in a cave that you can reach by walking for a full day. Oh, it’s a solid standard for the general public, so half a day is enough if it’s just a group of players. You will be able to go much faster.”

“If you look roughly at the flow… Are you saying we should go without the exhibitionists out there? To catch a warlock?”

“Yes.”

An Italian man watches a child eating raw meat outside the window.

“What is the reason? He may sound a little cold, but either way, it would be nice to have more allies. Anyway, he said he would leave together tomorrow.”

It’s certainly a cold-hearted statement, but I think it’s something you can say when your life is at stake.

“If they can help.”

“… “

“The opponent is a warlock. Raise the body. And above all.”

Chuck. Pointing to Choi Ji-won, who was quietly listening.

“I don’t think my colleague, Jiwon, will be able to show his full potential when the warriors are around. “Maybe you will know when you fight.”

“Hmm… “

Italian man stroking his chin. The remaining two players also appear to be in trouble.

“To be honest, it’s hard to believe.”

“Yes. Even if you say that out of the blue… “

All you have to do is follow the tower’s instructions and follow the warriors. Should I take the risk? And that’s because of a man’s claim that he was ‘injected with memories’ of unknown identity?

Generally speaking, there is absolutely no reason to do as I say.

“I think it’s better to go.”

Yes, unless the authority of ‘Choi Ji-won’ is mentioned here.

The players on the 26th floor that I saw kept Choi Ji-won in check, but also seemed to subtly ignore him. I don’t know how strong they actually are, but to me, they seem to be standing at the peak of foolishness.

“Uhm… “If you are Choi Ji-won’s colleague.”

“If Jiwon says so… “

However, these are relatively young chicks who have just ascended to the 27th floor. It’s funny to use the expression “Chick” For the player who reached the 27th floor, but that’s how I felt. Should I say that I don’t have enough space? Should I say that there is still some tension?

Rather, the players fighting on the 26th floor are abnormal, and this may be normal. In any case, the important thing is that the name ‘Choi Ji-won’ worked for them. Since this is a group that must cooperate anyway, another reason would be that there is no way to troll.

“Are you confident?”

“Of course.”

“Hmm… “

‘Confidence’ is a greater driving force than you might think in leading a group. Even if the route takes you deep into the sea, sailors obediently follow the path until the water rises to their chins. I have received consent from the players at this moment.

“Then, let’s leave secretly at night.”

“I understand.”

After briefly reorganizing our situation, we escaped the log cabin without being noticed by others. I immediately started walking towards the mountain where the cave was. Riding a mountain in the dark at night is crazy, and if it’s even snowing, it’s almost suicidal. The player’s physical abilities allowed him to move at high speeds by relying on moonlight.

Progress through the floors more smoothly than expected…

Progress…

“Is that a person?”

“They’re chasing me.”

“Wait!!!”

I thought it was going on. Until the ‘captain’ came running with the group at night.

At first I thought the mountain was on fire. Now I see that it wasn’t. Those people running around holding torches are clearly a group of warriors from the village.

“Aren’t you crazy?”

“Why are those bastards following me?”

“Let’s go together! Let’s fight together! Wait!!!”

The captain groans while panting. His loud voice resonates throughout the mountain.

“We have lived only for this moment! Are you going to take away our reason for living? I won’t tell you to give in! Let’s fight together!”

“… “

“Wait! Please wait! Us too. Give us a chance to fight too!!!”

That’s not the bold and thoughtless look you’ve seen so far. It was almost like a child crying to protect something so precious. I really, really desperately… The earnest emotions were deeply expressed in the voice.

“What should I do?”

“Uhm… “

Sincerity always works. A look of hesitation flashes across the players’ faces. They may not know the future, so if they are that desperate… The thought will surely come to mind. I will look too cold.

“… Let’s proceed.”

But I cool-headedly turned my head away and instead increased my speed.

If they join here, the previous episode will just be repeated. After all, their bodies are that of well-trained adult men. If we decide to run away, there is no way they can follow us.

“Wait!!!”

The voice gets further and further away. If they follow, they will die. This is for them. Repeat that and focus on walking.

No, is it really for them? If there is someone who longs for death, wouldn’t it be okay to respect that will?

It is said that there are doctors who feel guilty as they forcefully keep cancer patients who are groaning in pain alive. It was said that there are doctors who ignore patients’ pleas to kill them. What is it for them? What is the right thing to do?

No, that’s too arrogant. I don’t have time to worry about the positions of the warriors one by one right now. I’m too busy climbing the tower right now. If I can help the warriors, I will help, but if the situation is not favorable, it is right to prioritize my position.

“… “

That’s right though. I feel uncomfortable. That can’t be helped.

Let’s wake up first. After waking up, go back to reality and think about it. Just before a battle is not a very good time to worry about these issues.

Half a day passes like that. The five players arrived at the warlock’s cave. No one let down their guard, and thanks to me taking the lead, no one fell into the trap. Because I vaguely remembered the threatening trap.

“… “What is it?”

Not long after, I encountered the warlock again. The bastard nervously taps his cane on the floor. Yeah, I thought the Muscle Brain Warriors would come, but you’re a little embarrassed that we’re coming, huh?

“Rematch, man.”

Let’s stick together. Get rid of subordinates who are annoying to each other. To be fair, it’s 1 to 5.

“Heart of Seomjeon.”

Instead, there is Choi Ji-won here.

Rest in peace, warlock.
