Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 43
Only Noblemtl
Episode 43
Woohoo!
Silver magic began to gather in Sehyuk’s sword.
A long silver sword energy extends from the Dimensional Adjuster.
And then, Sehyuk’s sword cut through the air in a large cross shape.
Quagwagwa!
A powerful wave of swords struck the iron shields.
A huge silver wave shoots forward.
Silvery scars mark numerous steel structures.
And then, with a flash of silver light, the coverings shatter.
In that light, Choi Sung-hyun and Jang Young-soo had no choice but to close their eyes.
The light dimmed and the two opened their eyes.
The remains of piles of iron covering rolling to either side, like scrap metal.
A path opened up between the iron bars.
Even the entrance that they had tightly blocked with iron plates was breached.
“I believed you after all.”
Choi Sung-hyun is amazed.
But Sehyuk shook his head.
“It’s not time to admire yet. The real thing comes later.”
Sehyuk raised his head and looked ahead.
Cracked iron plate.
In between them, a man with a bushy beard and a scarred face walked out.
Bulletproof vest. Combat boots. Complete, un-ripped military uniform.
Even the submachine gun in his hand.
“Those fucking kids are you?”
The man glared at Sehyuk and his group.
It was a gaze that was boiling with rage.
On the one hand, there was a strange smile on the corner of the bastard’s mouth.
Sehyuk could read what that feeling was.
‘Laughing, how arrogant.’
It was a smile that showed confidence that they could defeat Sehyuk and his group.
Sehyuk could also understand that appearance.
A suit is a piece of cloth.
In terms of protection, it is far inferior to a military uniform.
And there are three of them.
On the other hand, he looks like a proper soldier at first glance.
Soldiers are the top predators of a destroyed world.
Because the number of people and guns is violence that can never be ignored.
‘Aside from that, things are definitely not going well.’
‘Because my magic power is almost gone.’
He gave it enough power to sweep away all the piles of scrap metal and everything that was stuck together.
People outside are still hiding somewhere, desperately trying to survive.
The fact that he was able to exert this level of power in such a situation proves that Sehyuk is an extraordinary being.
‘Well, I guess I could win even without magic power.’
Sehyuk had already been carefully examining his opponent’s power before the bastard even appeared.
Of course, their base is located inside the cracked iron plate.
Even the power of the opponent that appeared before.
‘This is enough.’
His expressions of annoyance, anger, and laughter were also based on well-founded confidence.
It’s just that the opponent was Sehyuk and his group.
Through his keen observation skills, strategies are developed in his head.
A strategy that can overwhelm them.
“You go down.”
“Shouldn’t we help too?”
“Those guys are enough on their own. Just don’t worry about this side and stop the guys coming from behind on the stairs.”
“All right.”
The two disappear down the stairs.
“You’ve waited this long, so you should answer my question, right?”
After sending Choi Sung-hyun and Jang Young-soo down, Se-hyeok looked at the soldiers.
The guy was leaning against the wall leisurely and looking at Sehyuk.
Looking at Sehyuk and his group with bloodshot eyes.
“Are you the ones who blew up bombs in the warehouses and mines we worked so hard to build?”
The soldier’s intense gaze scans Sehyuk and his group.
“eww.”
Choi Sung-hyun, who was looking up worriedly from the bottom of the stairs, flinches.
I was overwhelmed by the aura of that man, a soldier, perhaps the leader of a band of deserted engineer marauders.
“What if it’s right?”
However, no monster can overwhelm Sehyuk.
Because he was a prosecutor.
Sehyuk’s calm and composed answer.
“Kyahahahaha!”
At that answer, a sneer spread across the bastard’s face.
“You look pretty strong, but if you surrender now, I won’t kill you. What do you think? If you listen well, I’ll make you a big shot among the mine slaves over there. Kill kill.”
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, couldn’t stop laughing.
Because I could see into his thoughts clearly.
‘I don’t know why everyone I see has this disease of admiring a tyrant.’
I heard it clearly.
The small-time soldiers in this area were afraid of their platoon leader’s reign of terror.
‘It’s similar to Oh Ji-hoon.’
This is a human being who controls his subordinates through violence and fills his self-esteem as if he were something.
‘In a word, it means trash.’
I can understand their thinking.
Governments collapsed and civilizations were destroyed.
All the groups that held great power have fallen into ruin.
‘Becoming the new ruler in a world where everything has returned to nothing. It’s something that everyone dreams of at least once.’
But Sehyuk could say with certainty.
Not everyone is qualified to be a leader.
And in Sehyuk’s opinion, the leader of those deserter engineer raiders wasn’t really qualified to be a leader.
‘Because they’re all idiots who want to enjoy irresponsible pleasures.’
It is a law that a monarch must know how to look after the people.
The verdict is in.
Actually, it was over a long time ago.
‘I guess I’ll have to kill him.’
Sehyuk had only one answer to give.
Sehyuk smiled kindly and made an obscene expression.
By lifting the third finger among the five fingers.
“go away.”
The platoon leader’s face suddenly distorted when he saw that sight.
“Then let’s go. Shoot!”
With the sound of boots clacking, seven captured soldiers pour out from inside.
The gun fired at Sehyuk.
Bang! Bang! Doo doo doo doo!
A hail of bullets that would have torn apart any normal human being.
You can hear the sound of bullets ricocheting off the walls.
The window is breaking.
But Sehyuk stood still in front of him.
Because the bullets melted away as soon as they touched Sehyuk’s body.
‘Projectile absorption magic. Thanks to that, it worked well.’
Bullets pile up like magic.
Sehyuk slowly approached the soldiers who were shooting their guns as if asking them to shoot more.
One step at a time.
The expressions on the soldiers’ faces as they watched the sight were like they were seeing ghosts.
“Hey, Captain! That guy’s bullets aren’t working!”
Soldiers glance at their platoon leader standing next to them, frightened.
The platoon leader’s face was quite presentable.
On the outside he had an arrogant and calm smile, but his eyes were sharp.
The fear that you might lose everything.
And the fear of meeting a truly formidable opponent.
The bastard was just gritting his teeth helplessly.
So much so that I was worried my teeth might break.
“Shoot quickly! That has its limits! If you keep shooting, you’ll get hit!”
That’s right.
But they were late.
Because the preparations are already complete.
The corners of Sehyuk’s mouth curved upward.
Slowly, Sehyuk drew his sword again.
Choaack!
Once again, Sehyuk’s silver sword drew a line across the space.
The entire wall of the building is torn apart.
The same goes for the people in front of them.
Choi Sung-hyun and Jang Young-soo, who were observing Se-hyeok’s situation, clicked their tongues at the sight.
Although I was impressed by Sehyuk’s skills, I felt sorry for the soldiers.
“ah….”
Choi Sung-hyun’s expression was a mixture of slight regret and mockery.
“You lack imagination.”
Jang Young-soo didn’t even think about hiding his laughter.
Kwakwakwang!
The ceiling collapses due to the crack created by Sehyuk’s blow.
Piles of iron and rubble from the collapsed ceiling fell, raising dust.
Knock knock!
Choi Sung-hyun coughs slightly, covering his mouth with dust.
As the dust settled, Choi Sung-hyun and Jang Young-soo looked at the traces of the building that had completely collapsed, with half of it blown away.
“You changed everything so splendidly.”
Choi Sung-hyun looks at the remains of a collapsed building.
The ceiling had collapsed, creating a huge gaping hole, allowing bright late afternoon sunlight to stream in.
“If I sleep here, it will be like sleeping outdoors.”
Choi Sung-hyun spouted out words that may or may not have been a joke, and clung to the iron pile.
To find something useful.
‘It wasn’t particularly fun, but it might be objectively true that sleeping here means sleeping outdoors.’
Because the ceiling was blown away, reminiscent of a rooftop or balcony.
It was the power of the sword energy that Sehyuk had gathered and unleashed in a single blow.
‘Still, I think it’s a satisfactory result.’
We conquered the secret warehouse of deserter engineers.
Now, it was time to reap the rewards.
Leaving Sunghyun to find the iron dummy, Sehyuk and Jang Yeongsu explored the target items.
From the squad leader’s room, which was blocked off with iron plates, to the overall look of their warehouse headquarters building.
And Sehyuk was able to find those items quickly.
thud!
A single piece of reinforced concrete is placed in front of a wall that has collapsed all the way to the ceiling.
Sehyuk wiped the sweat away.
He was now moving the piles of iron that had been piled up in the platoon leader’s room outside with Jang Yeong-su.
Covers that prevent you from taking out items.
That big steel frame just now was the last obstacle.
I walk into the platoon leader’s room, which has been cleaned up after the furniture inside has been cleared away.
And, Sehyuk smiled faintly as he looked at a machine device placed in the corner of the room.
‘generator.’
That too, for industrial use.
A neat little thing that can power several large machines at once.
It’s a bonus that they spent a long time remodeling it.
‘With this, tools that were not possible with the output of existing home generators become available.’
It’s top-notch as a generator.
‘This means that you can install various industrial tools such as woodworking machines, anvils, and furnaces.’
I got an industrial generator.
I also got a bunch of energy crystals that will serve as power sources.
Now it’s time to move into full-scale production.
So that you can obtain the tools you need for survival on your own.
We have gathered a lot of human resources for this time.
Sehyuk looked to one of the key talents who would make his dream of self-production come true.
“Choi Sunghyun. Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes. No, we’ve been exploring since a while ago. It’s okay.”
Choi Sung-hyun, who was holding a bunch of mechanical devices, approaches Se-hyeok with a bashful expression.
“But your face is still pale.”
The scene I saw earlier when dealing with the deserted engineers.
The blood from that time is still pooling on the floor.
That’s why I asked because I was worried.
It’s okay if Sehyuk is worn out, but not the people around him.
“I was just an ordinary person until a few days ago. It makes me sick to see such a sight.”
“Yeah. I understand. That’s why I asked because I was worried.”
“it’s okay.”
Choi Sung-hyun makes a determined expression.
“I can’t give up here. I’ll survive somehow.”
“okay.”
Sehyuk nodded slightly at the sight.
The faces of people with a purpose are beautiful.
“Anyway, I got quite a bit. Now I think I can really make something out of scrap metal.”
Choi Sung-hyun looked down at the iron plate he was holding in his arms and smiled.
Usable steel frames, steel plates, and various machine parts.
These are the things I found in the broken maze.
“But how do I take this back? There’s too much luggage.”
Jang Young-soo asks a question.
At those words, Choi Sung-hyun’s eyes widened.
“Oh, that’s right. We probably won’t be able to carry everything on the motorcycle we came on.”
Even if you have a generator, you can’t put it on a motorcycle.
There are various machinery devices, iron resources, and even energy crystals, which are lumps of rock.
Small items should be placed in a bag to prevent them from falling off the motorcycle.
“Well, it’s nice that I’ve gained a lot.”
Choi Sung-hyun grins broadly.
At that sight, Jang Young-soo looks at him as if he is displeased.
“Then what should I do? I can’t take it.”
“Well, since I have some time, I guess I can just come and go.”
Se-hyuk was quietly listening to the two of them.
He shook his head slightly.
“When did I say I couldn’t take it?”
Sehyuk has already prepared.
Sehyuk showed one of the key items he found in the platoon leader’s room.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
Choi Sung-hyun exclaims with an expectant look on his face.
The faces of the two who saw that brightened.
