Regression Is Too Much - Regression Is Too Muchchapter 274

274 – Proved by the Regressor (14)

“I fed the elixir to the dragon… “You want to heal?”

“Yes.”

“And then?”

“Let’s talk… Finding a way. Because it’s something I’ve never done before.”

“Hmm… “

My plan of ‘throwing the elixir’ didn’t seem to appeal to Choi Ji-won, but she agreed that there was no answer.

“They said it’s not okay to kill… It can’t be helped. But Junho.”

“Huh?”

“If this also fails… What are you going to do?”

“… “

Choi Ji-won did not add an explanation of her katabuta, but it was clear what she wanted to say.

This… Maybe it is far from the ‘correct answer’ I was looking for. It’s okay not to defeat that dragon, it’s not a fight to save people’s lives, and it’s not a fight to protect great values. I don’t want to waste more of my ‘mental power’.

“Then, well, I have to give up.”

I also knew the source of that worry, so I nodded obediently. I have no intention of obsessing over something that doesn’t work. There is a lot to do.

Only then did Choi Ji-won smile with satisfaction and take out a small glass bottle from her arms.

“Let’s try.”

It was an elixir.

**

There was nothing special about the idea of throwing the elixir itself into the mouth. Anyway, that guy is stupid, he opens his mouth often to roar, and he has already reached a point where he can fight and win.

Investing in elixir was not a big waste. If you regress later, the elixir will return. All you have to do is watch this one ending and then go back. As a regressor, everything was like that, but the only thing I had to worry about was my mental power. Depending on your perspective, it is so precious.

So, after going through the tedious process of persuading the players again, persuading the captain, persuading the warlock, and mobilizing the villagers.

“Going to the front!”

We were able to face Bingryong. The force he exudes still gives me goosebumps. How should I express it? Rather than being scary… Should I say that I am instinctively reluctant to do this? That would be correct. I am reluctant.

“—!”

However, even if there was a difference in class, the dragon that lost its intelligence and perished was nothing more than a gigantic monster. A poor beast helplessly hunted by humans. I will give you back your intelligence.

“Avoid! Now!”

“Yes!”

Killing a dragon was difficult because of its hard skin and sharp claws, but throwing an elixir into its mouth was much, much easier. All I had to do was avoid the dragon that was trying to bite me while simultaneously adding the elixir. I threw the entire glass bottle of elixir into the mouth of the nibbling dragon.

“Step back!”

“Yes!”

Increase the distance like that for 10 seconds. 20 seconds. 30 seconds.

“… Is it a success?”

“What is it?”

Bingryong’s struggling movements subsided. Players were seen coming up from the bottom of the mountain. It looked like he was watching from below and he couldn’t overcome his curiosity and came up.

“… “

“… “

The dragon’s movement stopped at some point. The only noise is the sound of breathing. His eyes were closed, and the white powder his body was emitting disappeared. Is reason coming back? Why aren’t you moving? The dragon lay quietly on the ground as if it were asleep, and stayed in that position until the players waiting in the village arrived.

“Is it done?”

“What is this?”

“Therefore… “

-…

The moment I was about to explain, I heard something. It was like the sound of a heart beating or the sound of a drum being beaten.

“… Uh huh.”

You see a large jewel in front of you. No, it’s not a gem. It is the pupil of a reptile. The dragon has opened its eyes.

‘This place… ‘

The dragon murmured. That alone felt like something deep inside my heart was ringing. It felt like I was standing in front of a very large speaker.

“Did the dragon just say that?”

“That… Thing… I think so.”

Although he did not speak with his voice, he spoke through a kind of magic wave. The dragon’s reason has returned. The plan was successful.

‘No way, this place, ah, ah, uh, no, no… ‘ ‘

“Why is it like that?”

But the dragon’s condition is strange. As soon as the guy came to his senses, he lifted his arms and grabbed his head, desperately looking up at the sky.

‘No way, no, because of me, not until now, ah, ah… ‘aa!!!’

“Dragon! Hey!”

‘I’m sorry, King Seonjo-ryeong, I’m sorry!!!’

Thud! Thud! Boom!

The floor rumbles loudly. The dragon puts its head on the floor. Although the reptile’s expression was unreadable, its voice contained despair, fear, and regret.

‘I, I. Because of me, ah.’

We kept talking, but the dragon didn’t seem to hear us. Or maybe even if you hear it, you just ignore it.

“As expected.”

A warlock who speaks quietly.

“The gold dragon must have eaten something wrong. There’s no way losing one’s reason was the intended result. The strongest dragon has been consumed by cold, putting the continent in danger… As a result, the world was incorporated into the Tower… “It’s not strange to feel guilty.”

‘Ahhh… ‘

Even after hitting his head repeatedly, there wasn’t even a scratch on the dragon’s hard body. However, his pupils have changed. Something empty.

‘I’m sorry to everyone.’

The dragon said. It was almost like talking to myself. And right after that, his heart stopped. The magic power that can freeze the world is scattered. Instead of everything freezing, snow fell from the sky. It was pure white snow.

That was the end. The dragon no longer moved. Probably forever.

[Impossible Achievement!]

[Compensation is being calculated. Please wait a moment.]

“… “

“… “

There is a cold silence. Who knew? I never thought that as soon as the dragon came back to its senses, it would not listen and commit suicide like that.

And an impossible feat? It certainly seems impossible. Getting the elixir is one thing, but feeding it to the dragon is another story. This is a truly absurd development.

“Now it’s done!”

The first to break the silence was, surprisingly, the captain.

“Lift the barrier! Let’s check outside!”

“… “

“Well, I failed to ask the dragon anything! Isn’t this what happened?”

“That is correct.”

The warlock eagerly agreed and waved his staff. The translucent barrier gradually disappears.

“It’s over there.”

Everyone looked nervously in the direction the warlock pointed. Exactly at the end of the barrier, there was a fairly large wooden building.

“… Let’s go.”

People heading towards the wooden building in a subtle atmosphere. There was no one in it.

“What is a lot?”

“Hmm.”

There were quite a few documents from which the situation could be inferred. While the other players were confused, not knowing what the situation was, I picked up one of the papers lying around and read it carefully.

“I failed.”

“… “

According to the document… The plan failed. The disciple was not as capable as the teacher and was not capable of sealing Bingryong. The document was full of a person’s despair, fear, and anger.

The 1500 years of the warlock… It was completely pointless. He could not prevent destruction.

“Look!”

Only then does the captain shout triumphantly.

“Your plan has failed! We were used by you! You are trash! You deserve to die! Do you agree?”

The captain stabbed the warlock in the chest, pouring out his anger. However, the warlock completely ignored the captain and looked at me.

“Regressor, you are wrong. I failed.”

“… “

“But I will admit it. As you said… Maybe there was a better way. Maybe by pouring in the continent’s capabilities… If we went in the direction of curing the dragon. It might not have been destroyed. You were right. My method wasn’t the best.

The warlock nods his head. He calmly admitted.

His own way was not the best.

“Hey! You idiot! You! You must die!”

“But I said it from the beginning. Success and failure have nothing to do with it. “I did it for self-satisfaction.”

However, the warlock did not seem frustrated at all. Rather, it seemed like a different emotion, far from frustration, was blooming.

“Artificial life forms do not have souls.”

A warlock who speaks slowly.

From noble mtl dot com

“All of these guys are not made up. “I’m just a slightly unusual human being.”

“What do you want to say!”

The wrinkled face of the warlock is transformed little by little.

“My goals were two-fold from the beginning.”

My eyes are narrow.

“Recognition of those who climb the tower. A struggle to do something worthwhile at the last opportunity given.”

The clown goes up.

“And revenge on those fucking bastards.”

It was a very creepy and bizarre expression, but if I had to define it, it was something close to a ‘smile’.

“Regressor. “Perhaps I deceived you.”

A warlock looking at me and talking.

“Did I tell you that a warlock invaded our family? Judging from the expression on his face, it seems like he did. The guy who invaded was the best of my money. The goal was to destroy my family, take my body, and start a new life. They say that in order to change bodies, blood must be connected.”

“… “

“In the end, I succeeded in killing it, but it tasted bitter. Yes, my entire family, including me, was raised. To be used by someone. Isn’t that really shitty? Being raised with a purpose from birth.”

I hear a strange sound. Is this the sound of air deflating from a balloon? No. It’s the sound of laughter. The warlock was smiling.

“Yes, you… !”

“It’s fun.”

The warlock, who was laughing with a gust of wind, patted the back of the ‘captain’, who was frozen stiff due to being overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

“So I took my own revenge. I have decided to cut off this cursed clan from my generation. In a very noble way.”

“No way… “

“Okay. These people are all my children. It’s my bloodline. Where do you think these guys’ genes came from? Where did you think the soul came from? Inside this barrier is the last remaining bloodline of our clan.”

The warlock says.

“Failure is bitter. Pain. So, perhaps in the disappeared timeline, words that caused you distress were poured out. Because I’m the type of person who can’t live with losing. But it’s okay. “How could anyone achieve even half of the success?”

“… “

“It’s problematic to believe everything a guy like me says, but at least this was sincere. I meant to die anyway. And I am a wicked person.”

What happens to the soul offered to the devil? Was the ‘mercy’ that the warlock showed to the warrior clan real mercy? In the spirit world, everything he said… Was it really true? Just as I used force to win an argument, I think the warlock also used force.

“The reason I helped you was because I wanted to see that guy despair. That’s all.”

This place… It was a huge tomb, a priest offering his clan to the devil, and the final self-satisfaction of a warlock.

It was the warlock’s final move to protect the world and take revenge on his family.

A warlock cannot be simply defined as a villain. This guy… A good person is definitely not a good person. A person cannot be defined in one word. He had forgotten that.

“So, go because you will die prematurely when the time comes. “I want to enjoy this moment.”

A warlock explodes with light. And the captain looks at the warlock blankly. I could see villagers approaching from afar.

“… “

I thought I had no right to interfere any longer, so I just quietly walked away.

I feel like I’ve come too far to judge someone’s faults.
