Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 27
Only Noblemtl
Episode 27
Scanning the whiteboard, Sehyuk quickly picked out the important information.
Finally, his hand took a few pieces of paper from the whiteboard.
‘These pieces of paper are the two most important pieces of information here.’
A wad of paper divided into two hands.
Sehyuk’s gaze turned to the first piece of paper on the left.
‘The first paper is about the secret warehouse of the looters. And not just any looters.’
A smile appeared on Sehyuk’s lips.
This warehouse is owned by a group of looters mainly composed of deserters from the 51st Division.
‘According to my memories before returning, these deserters were all engineers. And they developed their abilities and the firearms they had, creating a mechanized group.’
Mechanized raiders using firearms and explosives.
It’s a warehouse of those kinds of guys.
‘That means there’s a lot of machine-related stuff in the warehouse. There’s probably guns too.’
And Sehyuk has a colleague who can maximize the potential of the machine.
‘There must be a lot of things that Choi Sung-hyun would like.’
From what I’ve heard, even at this time, they’re probably mass-producing various machines with magical powers.
Sure, you’ll be able to salvage some good stuff.
Sehyuk put the first piece of paper in his bosom.
‘It’s a secret warehouse located a little bit away from their base. I can go there right away.’
His gaze turned to the bundle of papers still in his hand.
The original purpose of coming here.
‘Things that close the source.’
Here is some information related to it.
Sehyuk looked at the paper again.
The identity of this paper is an experimental order sent from the headquarters of the monster worshippers.
This school also seems to have been a branch of the monster worshippers.
‘This branch, to be precise, seems to be a place where experiments are conducted to adjust tools that interfere with the source.’
And, the most important fact.
It was clearly stated in the directive.
[The ‘Source Interference Tool’ is stored at headquarters.]
Although it was mentioned in passing, Sehyuk did not miss it.
‘It must be an important item to them, so they must have kept it in the most secret and well-guarded headquarters.’
Sehyuk looked at the sentences written on the paper for a moment.
What to do next.
The renewed goal began to be seamlessly assembled in Sehyuk’s mind.
‘That means we have to track down the monster worshippers’ headquarters in order to get our hands on the tool.’
Of course, any relevant information regarding the location of the headquarters was discarded.
‘I’m sure he burned some papers earlier. I wonder what they said. What a pity.’
Sehyuk sorted the remaining papers and put them in his bag.
Still, the income gained is large.
‘Now what we need to do is track down the monster worshippers’ headquarters and find their tools.’
The goal that seemed like chasing clouds has become a little clearer.
‘If I think about it, it feels like all the things I’ve done so far are connected.’
Starting with the rescue of Cha Ye-seong, he became involved with school.
We explored the source tool through Cha Ye-seong’s prophecy.
As a result, I met Choi Sung-hyun and learned that the situation he was in was related to the clue that would close the source.
‘And then I realized that monster worshippers were one of the main enemies I had to defeat in the future.’
Once again, the sense of the inspector reacts.
All of this is leading to one huge flow.
‘Come to think of it, I have a question.’
Their ultimate goal is to summon the divine monsters they worship to this world.
‘But, what he intends to do by summoning a divine being is kept completely hidden.’
All relevant information was destroyed in the document.
About what happens after the monster is summoned.
‘I think there’s something going on. I guess I’ll have to find out slowly.’
At this stage, it is unknown.
I decided to keep it in mind.
‘Anyway, you’ll find out once you deal with them.’
* * * “Are you finished with your work?”
“okay.”
I packed everything I needed to pack.
It’s time to go home.
Sehyuk climbs the stairs and heads back to the entrance.
Choi Sung-hyun followed him.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk felt something strange.
‘By the way, where did that guy Cha Ye-seong go?’
Since disappearing somewhere, Cha Ye-seong has not shown even a trace of her nose.
‘He must have torn up the photo and gone somewhere. What was he doing that made him not come back until now?’
That question was quickly resolved.
“What are you looking at there?”
Se-hyeok found Cha Ye-seong reading something near the trash can.
Cha Ye-seong doesn’t notice Se-hyeok coming closer.
“Huh? Ah.”
When Sehyuk tapped her, Cha Ye-seong was slightly surprised and only then did she look back at Sehyuk.
“I was throwing away the photo and found it inside.”
“Show me.”
Cha Ye-seong handed Se-hyeok the paper she was holding.
‘This is.’
There were several photos attached to the paper.
An ID photo of a blond punk looking badass.
Looking closely, it seemed like this photo captured the evolution of a blond punk.
The next picture was of a punk with half his face melted off fighting with someone.
‘I see. Is this Park Chun-deok’s experimental document?’
Sehyuk looked at the photo attached at the end.
It was as expected.
The last photo showed a flame steel giant with a twisted face.
The one we dealt with earlier.
Sehyuk read the documents slowly.
The document contained Park Chun-deok’s life background.
This was a kind of personal statement.
A detailed account of how a man named Park Chun-deok came to worship monsters.
Sehyuk read the documents slowly.
‘I guessed from what you said, but you really are from a gangster background.’
Sehyuk slowly looked through the paper.
His eyes turned to the end of the paper.
[The parents took good care of Park Chun-deok, a factory worker, even after he suffered burns.]
[He kills his biological parents in anger at his parents for not being able to fix his face.]
Sehyuk frowned as soon as he saw those sentences.
[Attempted to kill male peers she had bullied during her school days, but failed.]
[Immediately absorbed by the suggestion that one could have power.]
‘There’s no need to look any further.’
Sehyuk threw the bastard’s personal information sheet into the trash can.
“What was it about?”
“There was that giant monster I saw earlier. It was about a piece of trash that wasn’t worth living.”
A piece of trash who went so far as to murder his parents who tried to treat him well.
Judging from what he said, it seems that after he became a monster, he also killed the victims he bullied during his school days.
A guy who should have died a long time ago.
I was worried that I might have sent it off too easily.
Sehyuk walked out with steady steps.
There is nothing more to see.
Now it’s time to give those monster worshippers a piece of shit.
“Cha Ye-seong. After you leave, blow up the door with magic.”
Since it is a space created through magical processing, it can be closed simply by destroying the door.
‘If we just break down the door, it’ll be hard for them to set up a laboratory here again.’
It takes a lot of precious materials and magical power to use that level of spatial magic.
The cost of knowing how much they expect from each branch.
However, it is the destruction of one such branch.
Those guys will probably get pretty sick too.
‘I packed everything that looked useful.’
There weren’t many things piled up in the laboratory warehouse.
A few reagents and some experimental equipment.
Hong Chun-deok had been muttering about when the experiment would start again.
‘Come to think of it, I guess I should’ve come before the experiment resumed. It would’ve been a pain if more monster worshippers were dispatched from headquarters, so it’s a good thing.’
It’s better to uproot it now.
After a few flashes of Cha Ye-seong’s magic, the door shattered into pieces and became a pile of trash on the floor.
Inside the disappeared door was an ordinary school basement storage room filled with desks.
* * * The three walked slowly back home.
Before I knew it, the sun had set and it was night.
“You’re late.”
Go Jeong-hwan, who was sitting on the bench in front of the house, got up and greeted the three.
Sehyuk raised his eyebrows slightly at the sight.
“You’ve gotten quite strong.”
“I think so. I think I understand a little bit what Sehyuk said.”
As he said, Go Jeong-hwan’s appearance had changed quite a bit.
Go Jeong-hwan, who exudes a more mature and unmanned aura.
His facial expression also seemed a bit more relaxed.
Accordingly, there are some changes as well.
“Did you get something new?”
Sehyuk pointed to the weapons behind him.
Along with the sword he had obtained when he first subjugated the school with Sehyuk, a heavy sword and a spear that he had never seen before were tied to his back.
“Yeah. I think the skeleton soldiers dropped it last night.”
And then, Go Jeong-hwan smiled faintly.
“The heavy sword and spear fit my hand better than I thought. Now that I know what it means to be fast, I’m going to try practicing being heavy.”
“good idea.”
Before regression.
Lee Se-hyeok and Go Jeong-hwan once shared their ignorance with each other.
Se-hyeok taught Go Jeong-hwan about the sword, and Go Jeong-hwan taught Se-hyeok about weapons other than the sword.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to gain enlightenment in weapons other than swords and apply the secrets to swords, taking it one step further.’
The two’s synergy when it comes to catching monsters is also pretty good.
One who can create variables with numerous weapons, and one who can read all of those variables and strike with a powerful sword.
‘If you grow it properly, you can show off your powerful power and place it at the forefront.’
You can leave them apart.
He’s also great as a special task force that takes on tasks that Se-hyuk can’t go to.
A world overflowing with monsters.
Sehyuk was gradually building up the strength to protect his body within it.
“By the way, who is that person behind you?”
Go Jeong-hwan pointed to Choi Seong-hyeon, who was following Se-hyeok, and asked.
Choi Sung-hyun made an awkward expression.
A stiff posture that anyone can see.
However, Choi Sung-hyun bows his head politely.
“Hello. I am new.”
“Yeah, yeah. Please take care of me too.”
Go Jeong-hwan also greets with an awkward smile.
Two people greeting each other.
‘There are no wooden dolls.’
But time will heal the awkwardness.
“and.”
Choi Sung-hyun smiled as he saw the elegant green house.
“Can I live with Mr. Goh Jeong-hwan from now on?”
“No? It’s one room per person.”
At those words, Choi Sung-hyun smiled as if he wasn’t fooled.
“Don’t joke around because I’m new.”
“True. Do people have to be so suspicious to be useful?”
Three gazes pouring towards Choi Sung-hyun.
Choi Sung-hyun cringed at the sight.
“Okay, okay. That could be true. Right now is an environment where people become sharp. Isn’t that right?”
At that sight, Go Jeong-hwan tried to lighten the mood with an awkward smile, but no one paid any attention.
“You’ll know when you see it. Go Jeong-hwan, Cha Ye-seong. You two go in first.”
After sending the two away, Sehyuk handed a bunch of keys to Choi Sunghyun.
“Pick one. You get paid for working for me.”
“Really? You’re not going to return it?”
“Do I look like someone you would joke around with?”
Sehyuk’s blunt face.
Choi Sung-hyun glanced at the sight and took the key without saying a word.
After a while.
“So, if I just work hard, I can use the room right? Eww!”
Kkudangtang!
Choi Sung-hyun, who was running without being able to contain his joy, rolled heavily on the marble floor.
Sehyuk silently extended his hand to Choi Sunghyun.
Choi Sung-hyun stood up from his seat, holding Se-hyeok’s hand.
He spoke rapidly, panting for breath.
“It’s so nice to have such a big house and such a nice bed. I’ve been cooped up in my studio for a while and just slept like a shrimp, so my back is starting to hurt.”
His expression was brighter than I had ever seen it before.
Seong-Hyeon Choi kept talking about how he wanted to move his work and that it would be easier to weld now that there was electricity.
‘I still have a lot to say when I think about it again.’
Sehyuk nodded while listening to that story.
“As long as you don’t do anything that could cause damage, like setting the house on fire, you can do whatever you want. Just move the stuff that was there here.”
Suddenly, Sehyuk had a good idea.
Now that you’ve got a technician, you’ll need a workshop.
“Come here for a moment.”
Sehyuk took Choi Sunghyun to a nearby house.
A house that appears to be close to the cabin.
It seemed to have been used as a public storage, and the lock was an old-fashioned lock rather than a state-of-the-art one.
I didn’t really care about storing my stuff in storage, but I think it might come in handy now.
“Can you open it?”
“Yes, I think I can cut it with bolt cutters.”
“Then open it and use it as you see fit. You won’t need the workshop, right? Just tell me what’s inside.”
“great!”
“I’ll help you move the tools.”
At those words, Choi Sung-hyun’s face lit up with joy again.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk looked at the sight and thought.
Technicians and workshops.
Now that we had someone who could handle the tools, it was time to get started.
A task that has been planned for a long time.
