Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 102
Only Noblemtl
Episode 102
The spirit sent by the mysterious site operator said it would stay for three days for final verification.
For the next two days, nothing much happened.
Sehyuk tried to talk to the spirit and find out what the site operator was thinking and his true identity, but the spirit shook its head made of electricity and refused every time.
Perhaps because he was under orders, the spirit was reluctant to talk about his master.
It was a pity for Sehyuk.
And now the final third day has arrived.
“So far, I haven’t found any problems. I think it’s true, so I’ll go back now. Thank you for your cooperation in the investigation, and I will guarantee on my own behalf that there are no lies.”
The lightning spirit trying to return.
Sehyuk hurriedly grabbed him.
“It’s okay if I stay a few more days. What if I’m a bad person?”
“If you do something bad, I am prepared to take responsibility for it.”
It was a weighty statement.
It may sound like a rather arrogant statement, but Sehyuk also guessed that the site operator would have quite a bit of power.
You can send the highest level spirit, the Lightning Guardian, to this remote place, and you can’t run such a strange site alone. At least you’ll have the support of numerous spirits.
Of course, this is just a guess. The reason is, as I said, the site operator did not reveal his identity for some reason before the regression.
It’s as if the creation of this site is shrouded in mystery.
A spirit that leaps into the sky with a sparkling flash of light and disappears into a single ray of light.
Sehyuk looked at the sight and smacked his lips bitterly.
‘So there was no income in the end?’
It’s a shame. It was a good opportunity, but I wasn’t able to make good use of it.
But it was already in the past. Sehyuk decided to think about the next step of his work.
And then something unexpected happens.
The moment you turn on your computer and want to check the guarantee of the business that the operator promised.
A chat notification was flashing on Sehyuk’s account.
I checked and it was a message from the operator.
At first I thought he was just saying that a misunderstanding had been resolved and action had been taken regarding this incident, but that wasn’t the case.
[Are you there?]
[Please help me.]
[The spirit I sent to you has gone missing!]
* * *
The usually calm site operator appears to have become flustered for once.
Sehyuk responded quickly.
[Where did the signal get cut off? Do you know that too?]
The operator provided detailed location information.
‘If you find the spirit, you can talk to me through the mechanical device the spirit has. Please do so.’
Sehyuk quickly drove his motorcycle to that location.
A construction site area currently under development on the outskirts of the city.
I pass by the new commercial building, which looks somewhat cold and faded due to the surrounding buildings and barren trees that are clearly visible despite being completed, and go inside.
And Sehyuk saw.
Old scraps of cloth and plastic hanging from an unfinished building. A large, old factory appears inside the mountain, past the rolling H-shaped rebar.
The floor was covered in bloodstains that looked like they had just spilled or that something had been dragged.
‘This is the right place, location-wise. There’s something there.’
It’s not normal.
Head inside the factory.
And when he saw the scene happening inside, Sehyuk’s face distorted like that of an evil spirit.
“Oh my, the spirit is so ominous.”
“So if I cast a spell on this spirit, the spirit’s summoner will be brainwashed?”
“Yeah. Hehehe. If he’s the master of such a powerful spirit, he’ll definitely be useful.”
Inside the factory, monster-worshipping creatures with horns and corpses are conversing.
“I was originally going to use this on that son of a bitch who destroyed this branch. But it’s also neat to kill that bastard with this.”
It seems like they are monster worshippers who are after Sehyuk.
It was clear that the branch here was referring to the secret underground research lab in the school that Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun had previously destroyed.
Sehyuk slowly looked around the men’s hiding place.
The floor was splattered with blood, and there was a vicious magic circle drawn with an unknown dye.
Sehyuk found the spirit lying in the center of the magic circle drawn on blood, bound with a seal.
Looking closely, at the corners of the six stars drawn on the magic circle, there are small body parts that continue to bleed.
It seems clear that some strange magic is being used.
While looking around, Sehyuk realized the identity of the object covered with black cloth next to him and his face distorted.
Next to it were iron cages containing several children with pale faces and blank expressions, as if possessed by something.
‘Young children… you little dogs.’
The general outline is established.
Sehyuk had long thought that the monster worshippers might be keeping a close eye on this area since their branch had been destroyed. And indeed, it seemed that was the case.
In the process, the spirit was discovered and it seems that the plan was to capture it.
‘Then, first of all, we have to catch and kill all those guys.’
They are strong enough to subdue the highest level spirits, so you must not let your guard down.
Sehyuk drew his sword.
The battle was definitely quite grueling.
Even though Sehyuk deployed a barrier of swords and cut them down, the bastards used their sticky blood and mucus to teleport around.
Mucus that rises and falls as if alive, grabbing Sehyuk’s arms and legs.
Every time I burned the mucus with the power of the silver mine, I felt that it contained the power of all kinds of curses and diseases.
But Sehyuk is Sehyuk.
His strength and long-term ability is to predict his opponent’s attacks from the beginning and use his sword more accurately than anyone else.
A person who can deflect attacks with near-magical precision and induce the opponent’s movements to control the situation as he wishes.
Crunch!
Eventually, the monster worshippers’ heads fell off and rolled on the blood-soaked floor.
Sehyuk hurriedly released the spirit bound to the floor with magic restraints.
Fortunately, it was the type of chain that I had seen before the regression and could be destroyed.
“Are you okay?”
“Fortunately, I am holding on. The spirit is still alive, but its vital signs are not good.”
A dry voice comes out from the spirit.
“Aren’t you a spirit? Are you the site operator?”
“Yes, I am late in introducing myself.”
The spirit slowly raises its body.
“Wait by the door. There might be remnants, so I’ll stop them if they show up. In the meantime, you run away. I have to free those kids quickly.”
“I will help you.”
Sehyuk hurriedly ran to the iron cage where the children were locked up.
After that, a spirit follows you.
Daughter! Kiiiiiiiii
He opened the iron bars that looked like livestock cages and took the children out to check their condition. Their breathing was faint.
“The condition is very bad.”
Sehyuk hurriedly took out the potion from his bosom.
“I heard that the spirit was captured, so I brought this medicine just in case.”
This is a top-quality potion made by Han Si-Hyeon from herbs grown near the World Tree.
“Can I give this to these kids? Their condition looks too serious.”
“Let that happen.”
Divide it into small portions for each child and pour it into their mouths.
Thump!
While giving medicine.
The bodies of the children lying on the floor flinch.
‘what?’
Sehyuk took the spirit and retreated for a moment.
The children flinched, for a strange and bizarre little wave of magic was captured.
I hoped it wouldn’t be the case this time, but Sehyuk’s intuition proved right this time too.
Children whose eyes sparkle at the same time.
The bodies of the children lying down swell and melt in strange ways.
The children eventually turned into little fleshy monsters, he said.
Sehyuk sighed with his eyes wide open at the sight.
“What the fuck.”
I’m getting so angry.
Sehyuk was a man who always thought of traps in mind.
This too was to some extent in the category of calculation.
Despite this, Sehyuk wanted to save the children.
Those monster worshippers were just like that.
Sehyuk looked at the spirit with earnest eyes.
“They seem like such vicious bastards. Can you somehow save them?”
I have never been this desperate since the destruction began. Most of it was accomplished by one’s own strength, and that was the way it was.
Fly the body.
To subdue flesh-like monsters the size of children.
However, the unintelligent monsters continued to run wild without any intelligence despite Sehyuk’s pressure.
Small monsters lined up and rushed towards Sehyuk.
The flesh monsters that the children had turned into rushed at them and exploded.
Black mucus covers Sehyuk and the spirit.
The magic of a superior curse that rots anything it touches has spread.
Quickly block the Silver Light energy by surrounding your entire body.
Crackle! Crackle!
High-purity magic burns high-level curses.
But there was nothing left where the flesh monsters had exploded.
Sehyuk’s expectations were shattered.
The children are dead.
Sehyuk stood firm even as the flesh monsters exploded.
He was the first to fall to the ground as destruction began.
The spirit puts a hand on his shoulder as if it understands.
* * *
Although the children were not saved, the spirits and the site operator were still saved safely.
At the site operator’s request, Sehyuk moved the spirit, whose energy was weakened, to a place near the World Tree.
Spirits are rooted in the forces of nature.
‘If you are near the World Tree that radiates the power of nature, you can absorb its full magical power and gain vitality.’
Moreover, the World Tree that grew in Sehyuk’s mansion has the power of lightning, so it’s even better.
Place the lightning spirit on the soil next to the world tree.
When Sehyuk was about to return to the mansion.
“Those children probably had been under the spell of black magic for a long time. There would have been no way to save them at this stage.”
The lightning spirit spoke to him.
To be precise, the site administrator.
“I said it because your expression was so scary right now.”
“I see.”
Sehyuk touched his face and tried to relax his expression.
It didn’t go well.
The spirit looks at the sight.
“You did well. No one could have stopped you.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Please sit down for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
At the spirit’s words, Sehyuk sat down on the grass.
The spirit looked up at the sky without saying anything.
Sehyuk waited for the spirit to speak.
While spending time like that.
The spirit spoke first.
“Mr. Sehyuk, you seem to know quite a bit about the terrible disasters that occurred at that construction site. Is that correct?”
“okay.”
“What kind of beings are they?”
The spirit pauses for a moment and then spits out.
“I felt it when I saw you trying to save the children and then easily defeating those guys.”
The spirit looking up at the sky clenches his fist.
“If there was someone like you, it would definitely be possible. I wanted to get rid of those guys. I also wanted to do it a little bit.”
It wasn’t my intention.
Because my actions to save the children were pure of heart.
The heart of the spirit master and site administrator was moved by that thought.
