Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 272
272 – Proved by the Regressor (12)
Let’s summarize the situation.
“There are three main combat personnel.”
Me. Choi Ji-won. And a warlock.
Warlocks are strong. It is the boss of one floor, and as it is designed to deal with five players, it has the power of a typical player of five or more. Although Choi Ji-won and I are stronger, we are strong allies.
Let’s leave the player set out of the question here. It is true that it is quite strong, but it is not strong enough to approach that dragon. The same goes for warriors.
“Because we don’t have any means of sealing… The goal, of course, is to kill the dragon.”
The goal is to kill the dragon. And in the process, get rewards and see the results of the warlock’s work.
Player Kim Jun-ho wants to kill the dragon and get a reward. Human Kim Jun-ho wants to see the results of the warlock’s work. Killing the dragon can satisfy both, so it is an outcome I want to achieve if possible.
“Wait, wait.”
An Italian player who interrupts me.”
“Then what should we do? You didn’t say that. “I know it doesn’t help.”
“… I think it would be helpful to ensure the safety of the warrior village. “Because their help is indispensable.”
“Hmm.”
He stroked his chin and exchanged glances with other players who were watching.
“I don’t know if I can say this, but I also want our shares to be guaranteed.”
“Perhaps the achievement will be cleared. “Isn’t that enough?”
“Then thank you. But what if not?”
“I will take care of it separately at that time.”
“Good.”
We can’t just criticize them for being ‘greedy.’ Participating in this crazy plan has a high opportunity cost, and if Choi Ji-won and I die while fighting the dragon, the three of us will have to face the warlock. This means that agreeing is itself an adventure. This is the tower where you risk your life.
“So, let’s get back to the plan.”
What are some ways to kill a dragon? Depending on the creation, there may be a small scale called ‘Yeoklin’ that kills when hit, but it is completely unknown whether that dragon also has that.
“The common weak point of a dragon is usually the heart… “
That dragon has no reason to use magic. Unless you have magical power, it is difficult to target the heart inside that huge body. In other words.
“You should aim for the head.”
It would be wisest to target the head, which is the common weak point of all living things. There is no disagreement there.
“First of all, I am the most accessible.”
Bingryong is surrounded by a cold aura. It’s the same for me too. I even have an A-level trait called ‘cold resistance’, so it’s obvious that I’m the one who can best counter that guy’s power.
“Here are my characteristics.” “I use hero traits.”
What I’m trying to do isn’t much different from the tutorial.
“You, warlock. “Isn’t there a technology that can summon creatures?”
“Doesn’t exist. What I can summon is limited to body parts of demons or the dead. Also, I will tell you in advance that mental attacks will not work on dragons. “I’m already crazy.”
“Hmm.”
It’s a bit disappointing, but it’s still okay.
“Leader. Let’s go back to the village a little later. Is that okay?”
“What are you trying to do!”
“I need help.”
As you know, the ‘hero’ characteristic is a characteristic in which the power of your true self becomes stronger as the number of people you recognize as protecting increases. The more people I have, the stronger I become.
“What is the population of the village?”
“Roughly around 200 people!”
“… “There are 50 warriors?”
“We were risking our fate on every expedition! “I was fooled by that idiot!”
“You keep calling me stupid… “
“That’s it. 250 people including warriors?”
“Yes!”
250 people.
It is clear that the number is quite large, but it is also true that I think it is not enough. 250. In the tutorial, they even mobilized a group of goblins, so I’m a little dissatisfied with it.
It would be nice if I could activate ‘Heart of Cold’ just in case thanks to the hero trait… Even if you don’t, you should try it. Since I have come this far, I will use everything I can.
**
“The warlock we thought was bad was actually being controlled by an evil dragon!”
“Wooooo!!!”
“The dragon must be killed! Just kill the dragon and everything can go back to normal! I will protect you from the evil dragon!”
“Great, Captain! “Is that true?”
“… It’s true!”
“Wooooo!!!”
Inciting the villagers was easy. In addition to the ‘mysterious atmosphere’ trait, it also has the ‘curiosity’ trait, so inciting the general public is not a problem for me.
“… “
“… “
Of course, support and other players looked at me with a slightly cold expression… Still, you can do it, but isn’t it better than not doing it?
-Hero [C]
-In moments of crisis, people think of you. You become stronger when you fight to protect someone.
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
[The effect of the hero trait is activated!]
So, for the first time in a while, I activated the ‘Hero’ trait by overlapping it.
“Wow, wow… “
“No… “
White smoke was billowing out of my body, and a strange light began to hover.
Well, isn’t it possible to purchase ‘Aura’ by spending money in online games? That’s exactly what happened to me. It was very beautiful to see the white light sparkling around.
“Junho, are you okay?”
“… “I don’t know.”
It’s not just the exterior that has changed. Magic power is also boiling.
This is not a cold heart problem. My existence itself is enlarged. As physical ability increases, so does magical power, so there are no pluses or minuses.
Therefore… Thanks to my strong body, I am able to use this enormous power. I can write, but I don’t think I can use it as freely as expected.
“What do you think?”
“The amount of magic power and momentum itself are stronger than me using ‘Heart of the Demon Fighter.’”
“Strong?”
“There is also the problem of swordsmanship… Because of your characteristics. “If we fight, I think I’ll win.”
“Hmm.”
According to Choi Ji-won’s review, ‘If you look at his body his his alone his, he is stronger than me who wore Seomjeon’s heart.’Instead, he said that if he fought, he would win. It’s exactly what I thought.
“Preparations are complete.”
By the time we finished the inspection, the warlock had also completed his own preparations. Likewise, the villagers began to evacuate, and the players nodded as they led the evacuation.
“Let’s go.”
The dragon looks down on us from the mountain. Our eyes meet.
The battle… It has already begun.

Again, the plan is simple.
Cut the dragon’s head.
But as is often the case with goals like this, the simpler they are, the more difficult they are to achieve. Hanging a bell around a cat’s neck is very easy just by looking at the emblem.
So, there must be an explanation of ‘how’ after that. How to decapitate a dragon? How?
The problem lies in narrowing the distance right away. Look at those big arms. What about the long tail? It is not easy to approach even if you throw just one snowball right away. Even if I can do it with a flash beam, Jiwon doesn’t have the means to catch up.
What we need here is a warlock.
“%$!$#!$##”
He was holding his staff with both hands and reciting the same ominous sentence. As if responding to its call, a red hand rises from the ground.
“… “
The dragon’s eyes turn to the warlock. This guy also felt the warlock’s spell, and even though the dragon sensed his presence, he took no action.
“Is it okay?”
“Maybe.”
Because the place where the red hand rose was beneath the feet of me and Choi Ji-won.
The red hand is slow. However, its power alone is worth acknowledging.
Anyone would have noticed. That we are trying to use this hand as a kind of catapult.
Position yourself on your red hand and lower your posture as much as possible to reduce the impact.
“Now!”
-Shwaagh!
The Red Hand throws us at the dragon with all its might! The sound of the wind was fierce in my ears, and it was difficult to open my eyes, so I had to cover them with magic! It feels strange! It feels like riding an amusement ride! The feeling of free falling!
“—!!!!!”
The dragon that was lying down raised its body, opened its mouth wide, and let out a terrifying howl. Is this Dragon Lore? Even though my ears were protected with magical power, my whole body felt like it was ringing loudly. Should I say that vibration affects my lungs?
But it was already too late. The distance between the dragon and us is now about 100 meters. At this level, it is possible to approach sufficiently.
“Be careful. The attack will be faster than it looks. There is an optical illusion because the body is large.”
“Okay.”
Jiwon starts running to the right. I turn left. The dragon appears to be confused about which side to aim for.
“—!!!!”
Again, the dragon’s roar. This time, even cold energy spewed out in all directions.
“Is it worth it?”
Is it because I deal with the same energy? I think it’s worth holding on to. I believe that Jiwon will endure because he has the ‘Shingeomhapunil’.
“First… From the armpits.”
My target is the dragon’s armpit. When attacking a tough enemy, it is best to attack the weaker areas first, and most joints are weak. If you cut off his armpit muscles, you can eliminate one means of attack.
But don’t let down your guard. You can be counterattacked at any time. You must fight every attack with sincerity and do your best.
Keep the secrets of flashing beams in your toes. The magical power is compressed, compressed, compressed again and completely contained in the sword.
The body is full of strength. Time seems to pass slowly because of my concentration. Perfect. No, more than that. The condition is excellent.
Imagining is a blow that divides the world.
“Hmph!”
I approached the dragon with a speed I had never experienced before and with a speed that was hard to imagine.
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s Junho?!”
That was the problem. It was a speed I had never imagined.
Arriving half a beat faster than intended, my body wasn’t ready for the bell. I tried to stop in a hurry, but it was impossible to even slow down due to the ‘flashing signal’.
“Ah.”
-Bwak!
In the end, it was my forehead that touched the dragon’s hard scales, not the sharp blade.
[You have suffered damage.]
[You will return to the time you first entered the 27th floor.]
***
“Junho, why are you looking like that?”
“Uh, um… “
First of all, catching the dragon is not the problem.
I need to start by getting familiar with the power of the ‘Hero’ trait.
