Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 50
Only Noblemtl
Episode 50
Continue reading the exploration journal.
The records left by the fairies who were murdered here.
To find out information.
[Day 2 of Exploration.]
[Arrows and magic are strangely refracted. I thought I was going crazy when the magic I used killed the two members of the leading expedition.]
[I have to get out of here.]
‘Even though it was the monster’s words, was it true that they were not compatible?’
Fairies are a pretty strong race.
Just think about the merchant who looked down on humans.
‘Even that race can be seen to be in turmoil.’
Perhaps it wasn’t just this, but there was also the influence of the restrictions that the other races kept mentioning.
Continue reading the journal.
[Day 3 of Exploration.]
[I can’t see the path I came from. If I come in, is it possible to never get out?]
[I still haven’t found a way to attack through the chaos of this forest. Neither spirits nor animals are visible in this forest.]
[If the disciple of the Battle Elder had come instead of the Natural Elder, wouldn’t this confusion have been resolved? He can still engage in close combat.
[It’s an irreverent thought, but I can’t help but think that way.]
[Since Elder Nature is a researcher, someone who is good at dealing with situations should have come. We alone are not enough.]
[I feel like my mind is wearing out.]
I can feel the fairy’s spirit slowly disintegrating.
What’s important is what comes next.
‘Is this a bloodstain?’
Next chapter of day 3.
After the fourth day, the paper was stained with blood.
Was it because of the severe shock?
The writing was also shaking badly.
[Exploration Day 4]
[What was that]
[No matter what attack you do, you won’t die.]
[The disciple suffered]
[Only 5 people survived and escaped]
[I was moving around here and there and didn’t have time to do anything]
[The remaining compatriots must have died]
[sorry]
[5 days]
[Crying is heard from all directions]
[They are coming]
[No means of coping]
[I think we’re done here]
The diary ends on the 5th day.
There was only one conclusion Sehyuk could reach.
‘There’s something in the farm. Is it a boss monster?’
According to the mention, an entity with the special ability to move and possess flesh.
‘Ice. It’s a really tricky and powerful ability.’
Because it drastically weakens the team’s power and causes internal strife, making it impossible to attack recklessly.
And, if you think about the experience from the previous round, there is one more factor of anxiety.
‘There is a possibility that this Nature Elder could interfere with the monsters in some way.’
And more than 90 percent of them have a negative impact on those who fight them.
Sehyuk frowned.
‘A disciple of the Elder of Nature. He must be incredibly strong.’
The significance of elders to fairies is immense.
Because it is a position that only the wisest and strongest fairies can ascend.
A disciple of such a person is definitely the next elder.
‘The monster that uses that kind of guy is the opponent.’
Still, Sehyuk pulled himself together.
Natural elder.
Because the more information you know, the more you can guess how the fight will go.
I have a rough idea of what role that elder plays.
Sehyuk closed the book.
Parallel!
When you close the book, a magic circle is drawn on the leather cover and it unfolds on its own.
A book with pages that open somewhere.
And between the books, there was a stone.
A bluish-gold stone about two-thirds the size of a palm, with a single rune inscribed on it.
I could tell as soon as I picked up the stone.
‘This is the barrier stone.’
It seems that the intended purpose has been roughly achieved.
Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan also seem to have come to their senses.
Because his expression was peaceful.
“Oh! That’s the barrier stone.”
Cha Ye-seong smiles slightly at Se-hyeok.
The weak appearance he had shown earlier has disappeared, and he has returned to his usual languid and relaxed attitude.
Sehyuk’s strength will certainly play a part in that peace.
“I think so. Did you both get enough rest?”
“Yes.” “Okay.”
“Then shall we set off?”
I walk through the forest again.
Thanks to Cha Ye-seong’s guidance, Se-hyeok and his group walked through the forest without any problems.
There were a few of the usual scary cries, but nothing much happened.
“Trust yourself. Your predictions have never been wrong before.”
“And if we make a mistake, so what? We’re strong. We’ll just deal with it.”
Although Cha Ye-seong started to feel anxious again in the middle, Se-hyeok consoled him well.
And then, Sehyuk and his group arrived at the second location.
Elegantly designed furniture laid out on the floor.
The layout is exactly as it was in the room, with only the furniture removed.
However, the room does not look neat.
“There’s a lot of stuff strewn about on the floor.”
Because things like clothes, paper, and books were all scattered around.
Someone ended up stuffing things into one of the bags.
“Still, there’s no sign of anyone dying here.”
“That’s good. Then I hope we can all help each other find the barrier stone.”
They disperse and begin to explore their surroundings.
The barrier stone came out quickly.
Because it was deep inside a bag that had been stuffed full of things that had been lying on the floor.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk looked at the situation and was lost in thought.
A bag filled with things.
Clothes scattered around.
Things that look like someone dropped them while running.
Sehyuk took out an item from deep inside his bag.
A key with a white piece of paper that says ‘Farm Key’.
It’s a literal thing.
“It looks like someone has escaped. It looks like that person is someone related to the farm.”
When Go Jeong-hwan heard that, he made a serious expression.
“These two areas seem to be related to the victims of this forest.”
“I guess so.”
My business is done.
Sehyuk told his group about the information he had gathered so far.
Attacks that the monsters in the farm can use.
And how to respond to those attacks.
Now all that’s left is to go to the farm.
‘How do I use it? Can I just take it with me?’
Sehyuk held up two barrier stones.
Cha Ye-seong, who was watching the scene, extends his hand.
“I think I know.”
He hands over the barrier stone to Cha Ye-seong.
Cha Ye-seong, who received the stone, overlaps the two barrier stones.
At that moment.
The runes on the barrier stone glow, and the two stones merge into one.
Break!
The combined barrier stones break.
At the same time, a part of the darkness parted and a new path appeared.
A quiet path leading to an old farm.
Sehyuk looked beyond and sighed.
‘It’s finally the final match.’
Judging from the fairy’s journal, it seems like there is only one monster.
Step carefully along the path.
Towards the farm, shrouded in a very hazy purple darkness, one could barely guess its location.
It was immediately clear what the monster was here.
The front yard of the farm in front of the small road.
Because someone was standing there blankly in that empty space.
The person standing is a tall man with long silver hair.
He stood there with his back slightly turned, staring blankly into space.
A twisted crown on one’s head.
A worn and torn, yet luxurious tunic.
Perhaps the elder’s disciple recorded in the fairies’ journal.
This person is likely to be the next elder.
Suddenly, the next elder slowly turns his head.
slowly.
Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan took a deep breath when they saw that face.
Even Sehyuk sighed.
The final boss of the Forest of Grudge.
The hidden face of the next elder of the fairy tribe was not the face of a fairy.
All the hair was pulled out.
A face that is three-quarters distorted.
Half of the face isn’t even a race called fairies.
Because he’s an old, black-haired, middle-aged man with a distorted half-face and bulging eyes.
So what that means is simple.
“Excuse me, is that a monster that’s a combination of a fairy and a human?”
Chimera. Flesh monster.
He is a being who deserves such words.
‘Perhaps, that middle-aged man was a horticulturist who lived on a farm.’
One of the places where the barrier stone was located looked like the furniture of a house that someone had escaped from.
Upon closer inspection, there are bloodstains in the distance from the fleshy monster.
In that bloodstain lies a middle-aged woman.
A middle-aged woman whose body parts, such as her face and arms, were damaged beyond repair.
‘Is that the wife of the man mixed in with that fusion?’
A family tragedy.
Cha Ye-seong must have felt it too, because she clenched her teeth.
“Most of my family members die, and after they die, I have to merge with someone and suffer. This is so cruel.”
But she holds the bag containing the baby more firmly.
“Let’s help him achieve enlightenment quickly.”
As if responding to those words, the fusion entity lets out a scream.
The screams are mixed with the small sounds of two people crying out for help, out of sync.
Darkness is gathering.
The field of vision narrows again.
So that only a radius of about 5 meters is visible.
Just like when we fought the fairy earlier.
And then the distorted monster’s arm swells.
The guy’s right arm, where huge blood vessels are starting to sprout.
Then the blood vessels become entangled and coiled, and something begins to take shape and grow within them.
Sehyuk immediately recognized what the shape was.
“scissors?”
A large metal blade is revealed between the swollen flesh of his right arm.
It was shaped like a giant pair of garden shears.
Snap. Snap.
The distorted monster moved the scissors a few times, then immediately pounced on Sehyuk.
It’s a posture that tries to cut off Sehyuk’s neck with scissors.
“What should we do, Sehyuk?”
“First, let’s respond defensively to see what kind of appearance they show. I’ll do the attacking for now.”
Take a stance and prepare to respond.
‘If the blades are long, you won’t be able to attack properly in close combat.’
Quickly dive into the range of his scissors.
visor!
Put your sword between the scissors blades to apply the brakes,
At the same time, he sticks a knife into the bastard’s heart.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk noticed something strange.
‘The feeling of that bastard’s flesh tightening around the sword.’
Sehyuk immediately drew his sword and stepped back.
And I saw.
The torn and rattling heart of the monster regenerates as if nothing had happened.
No matter how many times you cut it, it keeps playing.
A monster worshipper I saw at school, with regenerative powers greater than that of the giant monster that was the branch manager.
‘Super regeneration? Not at that level.’
Calmly exchange attacks and defenses and find a way to deal with it.
At this rate, there’s no way I could throw a monster like this without any weaknesses.
After the sword cut off several more parts of the monster’s body.
Sehyuk discovered a weakness.
‘The area around his shoulder is a little more crushed than before.’
Looking at that, I get the general idea.
Immortal for a certain period of time.
Instead, it slowly decays over time.
‘That is, it is a pattern that must be maintained until a certain amount of time has passed.’
When he thought about it that way, Sehyuk was able to get a feel for how he should fight.
‘Then, there can’t be just this ordinary scissors cutting.’
A thick darkness where you don’t know where an attack will come from.
Surely there will be further follow-up attacks that will cause further confusion.
The prediction was spot on.
The monster extends its unmutated left arm.
A powerful wave of magical power erupting from the monster’s body.
In response to that magic, something begins to appear in the darkness.
Up to this point, it’s within the expected range.
However, there was one thing Sehyuk overlooked.
‘Isn’t this a bit much?’
Several arrowheads slowly appearing in the darkness.
Tree roots preparing to emerge from the ground.
The number was enormous.
So much so that it evokes a sense of fear that you might end up being skewered to death.
Still, it must be done.
Because if I don’t overcome this, I can’t go home.
Sehyuk calmly measured the angles of the roots and arrows.
‘I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do.’
It’s almost over now.
Powerful items that the fairies promised, and that can only be made with the secret arts of fairies.
Locations of important locations and figures of the Seoul Survivors’ Association, Sehyuk’s enemy.
Even a boss this powerful would give you something.
If you can just get over this hurdle, you can have it all.
The sword glows according to Sehyuk’s movements.
Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan.
The two of them couldn’t help but be mesmerized by Sehyuk’s movements once again.
