Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 47
Only Noblemtl
Episode 47
Digging up information about the Forest of Grudge.
And among Sehyuk’s group, there was someone who could provide information more accurately and quickly than anyone else.
This is a request that must be completed successfully.
With that in mind, Sehyuk called Cha Ye-seong.
Until he was thinking that way, the fairy was looking down at Sehyuk with an air of arrogance.
“Pretend you are not good enough.”
The fairy merchant looks at Sehyuk with an arrogant gaze, asking if he can do it.
“It seems like the only magic users among you are the dragon and that girl, so this will be quite a difficult mission.”
But Sehyuk always has an answer.
“Don’t worry.”
If you persevere, you will win every battle.
Just filter the information and if it doesn’t seem to work, just leave it out.
Because Sehyuk’s judgment in a fight is almost never wrong.
And Sehyuk has an all-round information gatherer.
Cha Ye-seong, who had been sitting stiffly on the chair with Choi Sung-hyun, stands up and approaches slowly.
“Prophecy. Let’s hear it for the first time in a while.”
“I heard. It’s about the forest. Leave it to me.”
Cha Ye-seong closing his eyes while holding a baby.
She quickly told Sehyuk what the Forest of Ghosts was like.
“Yes, Prophet?”
The fairy’s eyes widened as she saw that sight.
“Those with prophetic abilities are rare. How amazing.”
“Other guys did that too.”
A visibly agitated merchant.
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, could tell.
‘This fairy, does she need a prophecy?’
The fact that this might be an excuse to get something out of it.
And fairies, although very capable, seemed to be quite naive.
“I’ve changed my mind. Even if I fail this mission, I’m still willing to help you. But only if you give me the prophecy.”
Because he revealed his weaknesses openly.
The merchant who said that looked quite desperate.
Sehyuk smiled brightly.
“Hmm, what should I do?”
“If you want, I can give you a discount on the things I sell! I can even support that girl!”
‘Support. It’s okay, though.’
The hidden pattern and reward of the heterodox merchant is ‘support’.
‘It’s a pretty famous event. Anyone who gets involved in this event is guaranteed to have a great success.’
It is an event that fully supports people with talents that satisfy them.
Other races are also building their own ‘forces’, such as the Spider Queen or the King of the Undead.
And the support of the merchants, the whole race gives them strength.
To that extent, the support from the foreign traders was beyond imagination.
An event that is completely profitable.
It is possible to demand a price in the future, but it is not too much to say that there will be no price.
As you level up, you will be asked to do light tasks or tasks with big rewards.
That means they provide such events.
‘It’s tempting. But it’s a shame to stop here.’
Sehyuk just smiles and refutes.
“Isn’t the support just because you want to have a good relationship with Cha Ye-seong? It’s a bit strange to call it a reward.”
“Hmm.”
At those words, the fairy’s face turns slightly red.
Because I can’t find anything to refute.
Sehyuk smiled generously.
“It won’t be too late if you come back after solving the request, right?”
A place you have to go to anyway.
I heard from Cha Ye-seong about what kind of monster there was there.
I am confident.
Complete the quest and receive the prophecy reward.
It seemed like there would be one more customer coming in.
* * * “It won’t be an easy monster. Are you okay?”
“Of course. There is a solution.”
A fairy looking anxious.
“I can’t tell you because of the restrictions, but it might be a monster that would be difficult for you humans to deal with.”
At those words, Cha Ye-seong, who had been standing still, asked with an innocent expression.
“But are you giving such a difficult task as a test?”
“I didn’t tell you to completely clean it up. I told you to explore it a bit.”
At those words, the fairy sighed, “Haa.”
“If you can’t do it if it’s below standard, it’s not worth supporting right now. But for now, it meets my standards, right?”
I have a feeling this will be a long story.
Sehyuk made a firm decision.
“Okay. Then go and deal with that forest or whatever.”
At those words, the prophet looks at Sehyuk with an expression of disapproval.
“Then let the prophet go.”
“Will that work? When I die, you’re just going to take what you want?”
“How rude!”
A grumbling fairy.
But there is a flinch in that expression that suggests he has been hit hard.
“You said it would be easier if this guy was here.”
“But I don’t like the idea of wasting my power to interfere with fate on something like that.”
A difficult word appeared.
“The power to interfere with fate?”
“Well. To put it simply, if I predict something too big, you can think of it as me not being able to predict it for a while.”
“I guess that’s the power you expend in making prophecies.”
Fairy and Cha Ye-seong nod their heads.
“So solve it with your own strength.”
“I’ll try not to use it as much as possible.”
After the conversation, Sehyuk and his group prepared to leave.
To the forest of resentment.
“I’ll be waiting here.”
The fairy merchant sits at the table.
Coincidentally, it was the seat where the king of the undead sat.
Sehyuk whispered to Choi Sunghyun, who had been frozen on the sofa without saying anything.
“Choi Sung-hyun. While we’re gone, at least keep us company.”
“Oh, I’m not sure.”
Choi Sung-hyun shrinks.
Sehyuk did not bend his will.
“Then, should I leave it to Jang Young-soo and Park Soon-hwan, who are stiff, blunt, and taciturn? Even if it’s just your good dad jokes, you can do it.”
“No, I didn’t hit it that much.”
Se-hyeok packed his bags, leaving Choi Seong-hyeon in pain.
The members of this expedition are Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan.
It even comes with a baby carrier that you can always take with you.
“Go Jeong-hwan. You wear this magic barrier armor.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if Sehyuk wore it?”
“It’s because everyone has their own thoughts.”
After instructing Chaeseong to hold the baby tightly.
Head to the garage.
The means of transportation for this expedition is a motorcycle.
Since it is a forest terrain, I chose a method that allowed me to get through the trees.
‘Because I might have to leave my vehicle outside due to unavoidable circumstances. It would be a problem if someone steals it.’
If you lose your jeep, you’ll lose a lot of money.
Motorcycles are relatively easier to obtain.
Boohoo, boohoo!
A motorcycle speeds down the road.
This destination is approximately 15 minutes away by car.
It’s a location that can be reached in about 30 minutes by bus.
And Sehyuk couldn’t help but laugh in vain when he saw the Forest of Grudge.
They briefly stopped their motorcycles on the adjacent road and the three looked out into the forest.
“Crazy. Why is the atmosphere like this?”
Go Jeong-hwan looks at the forest and lets out a gasp of shock.
An area roughly the size of two or three apartment complexes was turned into a forest.
And darkness was spreading out from the center of the forest.
The sky above the great forest was as black as night.
The adjacent sky is a shimmering purple.
After getting back on the motorcycle, I slowly slow down and approach the forest.
Even though it is quite a distance away, the forest is large enough to fill the entire field of vision.
The forest was so dark that it was impossible to see inside at all.
The same goes for the tips of the huge, lush trees.
It seemed as if the entire forest had been swallowed up in darkness.
“I think a ghost is coming out.”
Could it be because of the eerie wind blowing through the bare trees?
Cha Ye-seong wrapped his arms around her and trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Go Jeong-hwan, who was slowly moving forward, points to a spot in the forest.
“Huh? What’s over there?”
Where he pointed, there was a whitish human figure.
‘Are they survivors? No, the atmosphere is too bad for that to be the case.’
Park your motorcycle and approach slowly.
“What is this?”
Cha Ye-seong, who realized what the shape was, made a serious expression.
Looking closely, I saw people standing in front of the forest.
People who look skinny because they haven’t eaten.
It was arranged as if it were surrounding a forest.
And the moment he saw that sight, Sehyuk felt something.
‘Something is strange.’
All the people standing in front of the forest had dark, sunken bags under their eyes and looked very thin.
At first glance, it looks like a skeleton.
‘If you look that tired, there might be some variable.’
It blocks the two who are trying to approach.
“Cha Ye-seong. Go Jeong-hwan. I’ll go first. Something feels strange.”
Pick up the Dimensional Adjuster and slowly walk towards the forest.
And the moment Sehyuk steps on the shadow of the road created by the darkness of the forest.
People all look at Sehyuk.
With large, unfocused eyes.
“That sucks.”
Monsters that looked like humans in front of the forest.
They all rushed toward Sehyuk.
Kaaaaang!
Sehyuk quickly tilted his sword and blocked the monster’s attack.
Surprisingly, the being that looked like that person tried to bite Sehyuk’s nape.
That was a pretty heavy attack too.
Sehyuk also had to use a lot of force to block it.
‘I guess it’s hard to even call you a human now.’
Sehyuk looked at his opponent’s weapon, which was blocked by the sword’s blade.
Black teeth growing out of nowhere in a torn mouth.
His teeth were unable to chew Sehyuk’s sword and were blocked by the sword, causing them to tremble slightly.
‘When I opened my mouth wide, my mouth was torn open and black, sharp teeth grew out on their own.’
“I will help you!”
When Sehyuk was attacked by a monster, Go Jeonghwan hurriedly joined the battlefield.
“You came at a good time. I’ll take the left side, and you and Cha Ye-seong go to the right.”
“yes!”
Goh Jeong-hwan stretches his sword towards the monsters rushing from the right.
Sehyuk forcefully pushed the monster he was holding free and freed his sword.
As soon as he fell off the sword, the monster returned to being like a normal person.
Just a malnourished, emaciated human who at first glance appears like a skeleton.
Kwaaaaak!
A few more monsters rush towards Sehyuk.
The pitch-black claws growing from the monsters’ hands and feet aim for Se-hyuk’s neck.
After stabbing the heads of the two guys in the lead and blowing them up, I lightly stepped back to dodge.
Sehyuk glanced at Goh Jeonghwan.
“It’s heavy!”
Both of them were holding up pretty well.
The sight of monsters rushing in like a pack of dogs being eliminated one by one.
He raises his sword and stabs the roof of his mouth with a spear.
The gaps are filled by Cha Ye-seong’s magic.
‘A heavy but seemingly unintelligent attack.’
After swinging the sword greatly and slashing at the monsters that rushed at him.
Se-hyeok thought about one piece of information that Cha Ye-seong had found out and told him.
‘I think there are quite a few ghost monsters in that forest.’
The monsters in the Forest of Grudge that Cha Ye-seong had told us about in advance.
‘These guys also seem to be possessed ghost type monsters.’
A dull and dull behavior pattern.
A ghostly monster that exists nearby.
Considering those factors, this is also likely to be a ghost monster.
But there is something that doesn’t seem right.
‘Among the ghost-type monsters, I’ve never seen one that transforms its possessed body into something like black claws and teeth.’
I think about many things.
‘I even considered the hypothesis that it might be an elite monster, but that’s not it.’
First of all, there are a lot of monsters, and they are not particularly strong even though they are called elite monsters.
Sehyuk looked into the darkness within the forest.
‘If I go in, I wonder if I’ll be able to find out something.’
A forest full of secrets in many ways.
There’s definitely something in here.
What the fairy wants.
Information regarding the hidden inner workings of the other race.
‘I have a feeling that the clue might be in here.’
I have to go into the forest.
Of course, we have to kill all these monsters before that.
