Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 37
Only Noblemtl
Episode 37
When the situation was resolved, Oh Ji-hoon walked towards Se-hyeok.
The guy had an extremely annoyed expression on his face.
“Is it okay now?”
Phew.
Oh Ji-hoon sighs deeply and leans his face toward Se-hyuk.
“Look, let’s not do this. How much is it? I don’t know what you’re going to do with it, but I’ll give you more than that.”
And then the guy started talking about this and that.
“If three people can stop that, then you have enough talent. I can even help you grow.”
Oh Ji-hoon also seems to have realized that Se-hyuk is a tough guy who can’t handle it.
Now, it seems that they have started to persuade with a carrot strategy rather than a whip strategy.
However, Sehyuk has received more suggestions like this than the rocks kicked in the street.
“I’m sorry. I’ll look into that suggestion at home, so please wait.”
And then, Sehyuk pressed the last switch he had kept inside.
There were two preparations that Se-hyeok made to screw Oh Ji-hoon.
One is to create a situation to impress upon Oh Ji-hoon that he can eat Yeouiju.
And the other thing was to lay a few explosive traps nearby.
To distract their attention and create an opening.
Bodyguard.
Their purpose is to protect employers.
‘That’s why the bodyguards have no choice but to act defensively when an accident occurs.’
Kwakwakwang!
An explosive trap that caught the attention of a giant bone dragon.
It exploded with a tremendous light.
“Be careful!”
Oh Ji-hoon’s bodyguards were definitely elite.
As soon as the explosion occurred, everyone rushed to protect Oh Ji-hoon.
At the sudden explosion, the men in suits all turned their gaze in the direction of the explosion.
And that meant the bodyguards didn’t have time to worry about Sehyuk.
It was a perfect exploit.
“Goodbye, you little shit!”
Sehyuk and his group took advantage of the gap and pushed away the men in suits who were blocking the dimensional gate.
Bang! Bang!
The bodyguards, who came to their senses late, began to shoot.
However, Jang Young-soo and Park Sun-hwan have already entered the dimensional gate.
Sehyuk hasn’t escaped yet, but he already has a favorite method.
‘The bullets are so fast that you can’t stop them all, but this will be enough once.’
Kiiing!
The Dimensional Adjuster shines.
Spatial interference.
Bullets flying towards Sehyuk are deflected and fly off somewhere else.
And Sehyuk threw himself into the dimensional gate.
Extending the middle finger towards Oh Ji-hoon.
“These… these little bastards!!!”
bang!
The moment he exited the dimensional gate, Sehyuk could hear something.
The sound of Oh Ji-hoon beating up the people around him, unable to control his anger.
* * * As we exited the dimensional gate, the rain had stopped.
There were no living monsters either.
‘It is only natural that it disappears, since the disaster of military strategy has been defeated.’
However, the traces of the disaster that swept through the colony remain.
Broken trees, overturned brick roads.
And on top of it, the corpses of monsters were strewn about.
“Ugh, it’s a mess.”
Jang Young-soo frowned slightly as he avoided the monster corpse lying on the floor.
Even in the drain that Sehyuk had created, dead, polluted animal corpses were strewn about.
Even though most of them were gone and only corpses with byproducts remained, it was still a considerable number.
I walk back to the mansion along the half-broken brick road.
“You came!”
Cha Ye-seong, who was sitting with her legs crossed at the desk in front of the house, suddenly sits up.
Soon after, Cha Ye-seong brought Choi Seong-hwan and Go Jeong-hwan from behind the house.
“Are you here?”
Choi Sung-hyun and Go Jeong-hwan, with tired-looking faces, also greeted him.
All three were soaking wet, and their clothes were covered in mud and slime.
As if to tell us that we had a bloody fight with a polluted monster in the rain and mud.
“If there had been no drain, I would have died. Even though the water was draining, the rainwater kept piling up. It was hard to move, and I was mentally exhausted.”
Choi Sung-hyun, with dark circles under his eyes, slumped his shoulders.
Still, there is a smile on his lips.
“Thanks to you, I was able to build the drainage ditch. Oh, and the trap was also very useful. Without you, it would have been impossible to prevent the colony’s disaster.”
Sehyuk patted Choi Sunghyun on the shoulder.
Praise and discipline are definitely necessary.
That’s what a good leader should do.
At that action, Choi Sung-hyun’s tired eyes sparkled again.
“thank you!”
“Hey, I’ve killed a lot of guys who escaped traps.”
Go Jeong-hwan interrupts and snickers.
Sehyuk nodded slightly in response.
“Of course I know. I am always grateful to you all. Thanks to you, I was able to protect my home. Oh, these are the ones I brought from inside the dimensional gate.”
Sehyuk introduced the three to Jang Youngsu and Park Sunhwan.
“Please take care of me in the future!”
Jang Young-soo and Park Soon-hwan bow briskly at a 90-degree angle.
The greetings of the two men, both dark-skinned and well-built, were quite sharp.
When I said that he was like a servant that I could use as I pleased, Choi Sung-hyun’s expression became strange.
“Ah… yes. Please take care of it.”
After saying that, Choi Sung-hyun tried to run away into the house.
“Where are you going?”
Se-hyeok grabs Choi Sung-hyun’s shoulder in an amazing way.
Sehyuk had already predicted that Choi Sunghyun would run away.
Because Choi Sung-hyun was awkward even with the friendly-looking Go Jeong-hwan, who was just an old man.
However, Sehyuk had already made up his mind.
These guys decided to invest in Choi Sung-hyun.
“If you need anything in the future, ask these guys to do it for you. They will be mainly responsible for exploration work.”
Food that is falling apart.
Dirty clothes.
Materials needed to make something.
In a ruined world, resources are constantly needed.
‘But, even for the sake of the future, I can’t just go around looking for resources. That’s why I’ve been struggling to conserve as much as possible up until now.’
It also takes time to raise each individual’s fighting power.
It also takes time to prepare for the coming disaster and explore new areas to get what you need.
Besides, Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun have separate jobs that only they can do.
‘If we assign the two to resource gathering, we can use me, Go Jeong-hwan, Cha Ye-seong, and Choi Seong-hyeon for other tasks.’
There was absolutely not enough time.
Therefore, adding more people is like buying time.
‘As it turned out, food was starting to run out.’
When Sehyuk first came home, he brought with him about three weeks’ worth of food for three people.
The amount of food allocated has been reduced with Choi Sung-hyun joining.
In addition, due to various disasters, it was not easy to find food.
Due to the passage of time, most of the food outside has rotted.
If two people dedicate themselves to gathering resources, the burden can be greatly reduced.
If two people gather food for one day, they will have enough food to live on for several days.
‘For example, a dispatch team.’
A special unit that automatically gathers resources while the main unit works on other tasks for development.
That was the role of Jang Young-soo and Park Sun-hwan.
And, there was one more benefit to having a dedicated resource procurement team.
“Especially Choi Sunghyun. You, in particular, make sure to ask for what you need from the two of you.”
“yes?”
Choi Sung-hyun, frozen still, sweating profusely.
Sehyuk answered with a calm expression.
“Because we need materials to increase production capacity.”
And then, Sehyuk used his ultimate tactic on Choi Sunghyun again.
Force hope.
Give a strong feeling that you trust them.
Sehyuk put his hand on Choi Sunghyun’s shoulder.
“Even if it’s burdensome, please do it. Because it’s something only you can do.”
At those words, Choi Sung-hyun once again shows a determined expression.
“All right!”
“Yes. Those people, even though their faces look like that, are loyal people.”
After properly explaining the house and living rules to Jang Young-soo and Park Soon-hwan.
Sehyuk told the three of them what had happened while he was away.
‘Fortunately, there was no damage to property or injuries, but the monster corpses that are still there are not disappearing.’
Fortunately, the three people were fine, just a little messy.
It seems like all I have to do is wash and change clothes.
It seems that Choi Sung-hyun’s explosive trap and other traps were suitable for stopping multiple monsters.
“They predicted all this and developed the trap.”
Go Jeong-hwan nodded as if he acknowledged it.
Sehyuk’s judgment shone through once again.
‘Then the only remaining problem is that the corpses of monsters are strewn about, blocking traffic.’
It seemed like it needed some cleaning.
‘Those corpses are all just a bunch of byproducts, so it’s something that has to be done someday.’
In the meantime.
Sehyuk’s expression became serious after hearing a piece of information from the three.
“That, that skeleton god we saw at the Night of the Monsters before. He’s here.”
The words that Cha Ye-seong said with a subtle expression.
Sehyuk raised his eyebrows upon hearing that.
‘What are you planning?’
If such a being visits you in person, it is almost certain that something big is going to happen.
Se-hyeok hurriedly received guidance from Cha Ye-seong.
The ruler of the undead was waiting inside Sehyuk’s mansion.
“Are you here now?”
He was sitting at the table in the form of a skeleton wizard, roughly two meters tall and adorned with all sorts of ornate jewelry.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk narrowed his eyes at the table.
The guy was drinking.
If there was a problem, it was that there were about 30 open cans lined up on the table, each one having been eaten.
When I glanced back at Cha Ye-seong, she was looking at the sight with a blank expression on her face.
I could tell where the alcohol came from without even asking.
‘I guess I’ll have to find some good alcohol and give it to him later.’
While Sehyuk was thinking like that, he suddenly realized something strange.
‘But in the meantime, you had 30 bottles of alcohol?’
As we look back and forth between Cha Ye-seong and the can of alcohol, Cha Ye-seong carefully looks away.
Still, I had no intention of saying anything.
That guy drank 30 cans of alcohol.
That’s like owing him a debt.
Leaving Cha Ye-seong alone, Se-hyeok sat down in front of the king of the undead.
To have a conversation.
And hearing the words from his mouth, Sehyuk got a feeling.
This deal could once again be quite lucrative.
The king of the undead who looked at Cha Ye-seong and Se-hyeok with pleasure.
He said, tapping the table as he sat down.
“The corpses of the polluted undead animals that piled up due to this colony’s disaster. Will you hand them over? No price required. What do you want? I will try to give it to you if possible.”
In the eyes of the king of the undead who spoke those words, there was a glimpse of an unconcealed desire.
And Sehyuk, hearing those words, felt like standing up and shouting that it was natural.
Those corpses were a kind of obstacle that had to be cleared away.
Even if there are byproducts, they are not that useful.
Basically, it was an attack that pushed back against low-level monsters with overwhelming numbers, as they were contaminated creatures.
However, an offer came in to take those troublesome items and turn them into useful items.
That too, from a divine monster that is at the peak of magic.
Of course I had to do it.
Sehyuk happened to have something he wanted to achieve.
Alternatives that can greatly solve the problem of insufficient resources.
* * * The heart of the colony’s disaster.
After Sehyuk killed the giant monster, this place became a completely different place than before.
A barren mountain with only dirt and rocks left.
This was the current state of the colony’s disaster-stricken heart.
Thanks to the fact that the entire pile of contaminated mucus has melted and disappeared.
A landscape that at first glance appears devoid of any life.
However, there was a small movement within it.
A small pit where the dungeon’s core was.
Light begins to emanate from within it.
Crackers, crackers.
As the light faded, there was now a slight commotion within the pit.
After a while.
A small reptilian hand suddenly emerged from within the pit.
Immediately afterwards, a small dragon popped its head out of the pit.
A small hatchling shaking its head and dusting itself off.
As the hatchling finished popping its head open, a dimensional gate appeared in front of it.
It was the exact same portal as when Sehyuk returned to where he was earlier.
The baby disappeared into the dimensional gate without hesitation.
A chain event was about to happen much faster.
More than before the regression, and more than Sehyuk had expected.
