Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 51
Only Noblemtl
Episode 51
“I told you before, right? The crooked roots are for restraint, and the sharp roots are for penetrating attacks.”
Summoning roots, one of the Druid’s secret arts.
I expected that if he was a natural elder, he would definitely be a high druid, and my prediction was correct.
Since there are dead fairies, the arrows are also within the expected range.
The numbers are just enormous.
So reminiscent of war.
“Just hang in there!”
Papapak!
Arrows are fired simultaneously, and sharp thorns sprout from the ground.
A rain of arrows flying from all directions.
A feast of goodness that dies when touched.
The sight was like a spider’s web.
Chakang! Chakang!
On top of that, the distorted monster came rushing at me again with its scissor hands.
An extremely narrow space.
Within that space, you must deal with monsters with minimal movement.
This means that you have to dodge flying attacks while engaging in close combat.
It was an attack that not only ordinary people, but even special forces trained in undercover operations could not avoid.
But Sehyuk is different.
He could see how the web of death stretched out.
‘It still works.’
Avoid locations where tree roots extend out,
Calculate the speed at which the arrow is flying and fly into empty space.
“Ugh!”
Shining silver.
Half of the guy’s arm gets cut off.
The scissor arm that was advancing towards Sehyuk could not withstand the force of the rush and was bent to the side and crashed to the ground.
Next, cut off the arrows in unavoidable locations with your sword.
A trick that allows you to change the trajectory of the scissors with a sword as desired.
Very delicate and precise movements that are fast but without an inch of error.
If someone who wasn’t used to Sehyuk’s performance saw it, they would have definitely said that.
Sehyuk is definitely not human.
How can a human being shoot down all the arrows that are pouring down?
That too, to avoid the thorns rising up through the ground.
The stunts continue.
Dodge and parry arrows, cut through and dodge thorns.
Possessed movements.
The two were holding on with the magic barrier attached to their armor and the baby dragon’s protective magic.
They couldn’t help but admire Sehyuk’s ability to dodge obstacles flying at him without any means of protection, using only his bare body.
The monster could do nothing but slowly melt away.
Eventually, the monster was reduced to a ball of nearly melted flesh.
He was stuck to the floor, barely able to see his face.
Kyaaaaak!
The monster howled.
And then, again, something changed.
A strange and terrible cry was heard in the forest.
At the same time that crying sound resonated.
Whoosh!
Sehyuk clearly saw it.
Something in the darkness was watching them and then disappeared.
And then the monster began to boil away, black smoke escaping from it.
“Everyone, be careful!”
You can tell intuitively.
Perhaps this is the ice pattern that confused the fairies.
The results of the ice rink can also be guessed.
‘I will end up like the disciple of the elf elder and the gardener of the farm who turned into a flesh monster.’
A monster face of flesh that has completely melted and disappeared.
At the same time, black smoke began to gather in the air and form a shape.
‘The magic is extraordinary.’
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, swallowed his saliva in tension.
‘I can’t stop Goh Jeong-hwan or Cha Ye-seong. I have to stop them.’
I expected it.
That monster is the one who swallowed the disciple of the elf tribe’s elder.
It can’t be not powerful.
Because they grew in strength by preying on the ten strongest people in their race.
There is no escape.
I just hold my sword tightly and use the alternative I prepared.
‘A self-defense device. Can I use it?’
Ghosts are a collection of magical powers.
That’s why there are some limitations to the shield created by magic power.
But he is a powerful monster.
The lowest level of protection used by a small dragon and the protection above the magic barrier of the armor cannot protect at all.
Fortunately, Sehyuk had another alternative.
‘The self-defense device is a superior defense mechanism than these.’
The question is, can Sehyuk use this?
‘I have to do it.’
Black smoke disappears into the darkness.
Sehyuk slowly looked around, trying to sense the changes.
Silent darkness.
The darkness ripples ever so slightly.
‘Over there!’
Sehyuk immediately flew away.
The prediction was right.
The rippling darkness is torn apart.
A swoop of black smoke.
But Sehyuk was one step ahead.
Se-hyuk rushes towards Yeon-gi.
Attempts to create a magical shield around the body.
Magical power that covers Sehyuk’s body while swaying.
However, the magic power slowly dissipated.
Sehyuk took a deep breath when he saw that sight.
‘The magic power is lacking.’
Black smoke came up to my nose.
There is nothing between Sehyuk and the black smoke.
A moment of life or death.
Sehyuk closed his eyes.
‘Is this the end?’
Before returning, the chaos we had overcome.
I was wondering if there was anything that could help with that experience.
And then, Sehyuk opened his eyes.
The realization that had been buried in the back of my memory comes back to me once again.
‘It is said that a swordsman who has reached great heights creates a world with his sword.’
The image of a person holding a sword is bound to be reflected in the sword.
As you delve into this path, you will be able to bring your inner world into reality.
Sehyuk had seen some records of breaking the disaster.
The story of a being who created something new and performed miracles with a sword.
Sehyuk also barely managed to hold on to the end before returning.
‘It seems possible if we use that method.’
Focus your mind on the sword as much as possible,
I think I can block the attacks coming at me with this sword.
It felt like the sword’s swing was creating a wall that nothing could reach.
Pot!
A silver shield appeared in front of Sehyuk.
Black smoke collided with the silver shield.
Soon, the black smoke was blown away into the distance in a distorted form.
A black fog that appears to have been damaged and blurred.
In between, a terrible sound leaks out.
“Ugh!”
“Eww!”
The black fog screams.
A terrible cry that seemed to rip through my head and stab my spine.
It was a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
At that grotesque cry, Go Jeong-hwan and Cha Ye-seong collapsed to the floor.
But Sehyuk was too focused to listen.
All his attention was focused on the sword and the black smoke in front of it.
Sehyuk saw it clearly.
That the shape of the black smoke was cracking as if it was being torn to shreds.
And just by looking at the appearance, I could guess to some extent.
‘The phrase written on the entrance stone tablet.’
A saying that only those with deep resentment can escape.
That might mean that if you have more mental power than a ghost, you can destroy the bastard’s possession.
And Sehyuk’s mental strength and devotion to the sword have long surpassed that of humans.
Sehyuk approaches slowly, holding a sword.
Towards the black smoke.
Squeak!
Black smoke recedes with a scream.
The direction is towards Go Jeong-hwan, who is trying to stand up while holding the sword like a cane.
Se-hyeok decided that it wouldn’t work and so he targeted Go Jeong-hwan.
Go Jeong-hwan, who was shivering, is startled when he sees black smoke.
“Oh, oh! Mr. Sehyuk, what should I do?”
But Sehyuk just sits there and watches the scene.
“are you okay.”
Ting!
The torn ghost bounced off Goh Jeong-hwan as soon as it touched him.
“Because now none of us will be able to consult with you.”
A magical barrier that wrapped around Go Jeong-hwan’s body.
To be exact, the black smoke was blown away by that barrier.
A ghost that was already in tatters after Sehyuk dealt him the final blow.
That is why it is so weakened that it can be blocked by a fixed ring or a small dragon’s magic shield.
“Okay, let’s finish it now.”
Shhh!
Sehyuk lightly swung his silver sword.
His silver blade slices the black smoke clumped on the floor in half.
Black smoke disperses into the air and disappears.
The flesh from which the smoke had escaped also melts.
Sehyuk slowly walked to where the black smoke and flesh had disappeared.
‘I wonder what will come out.’
Time for reward.
A monster that devoured the upper warriors of the fairy race and the successors of the natural elders.
‘The reward will be certain, then.’
That moment when you approach with a little bit of anticipation.
The small dragon in Cha Ye-seong’s bag popped out and started to rummage around the place where the flesh had been.
‘This, really?’
Dragons are drawn to precious treasures.
The attitude he was showing now was the intuition of a dragon with an eye on discovering and collecting treasure.
‘It looks like you have something really precious.’
Isn’t that something that makes the dragon’s eyes shine?
And then the little dragon dug around on the floor and took something out.
“A dried-up crown?”
Although it has lost its vitality, I feel a residual, ominous magic.
‘Is this the Fairy Elder’s belongings?’
It felt like something would happen if I brought it.
“Ugh.”
A small dragon carrying a crown enters Cha Ye-seong’s bag.
Leaving the crown in his care, Sehyuk looked towards his next destination.
Now it’s time to enter the farm.
‘If you just come in here, you can gain a lot.’
The fairy’s request is to find out what happened in this forest.
That giant tree that grew up devouring the farm must be the source of this forest.
‘If you get inside and get the essential items, the mission will be considered not just perfect, but transcendent.’
If that happens, the reward is a given.
‘Plus, you can get wood to use at home.’
Open the door with the key you got from where the furniture was earlier and enter the farm.
The farm was divided into a shop area connected to a greenhouse where plants were grown, and a building where the owner lived.
The house that was eaten by the giant tree is on the side of the residential building.
‘Let’s start with the easy ones first.’
Go into the greenhouse first and take care of the plants.
“First of all, this is a water purifying plant, and according to the prophecy, it seems like it will be useful.”
Although he doesn’t know much about plants, he can discern their future usefulness through Cha Ye-seong’s prophecy.
So Sehyuk marked out a few flower pots.
Items that will serve as useful resources to help you survive.
And Sehyuk finally stepped into the last house.
The living room was a mess.
The furniture was lying around, broken, and there were holes in the walls where tree roots had dug into them.
And among the debris, there are stains of blood, dark red and spilled by someone unknown.
The group searched inside the house.
“I don’t think there’s anything worth seeing.”
Cha Ye-seong, who was looking around the room, carefully began to speak.
However, Sehyuk’s gaze remained fixed on one place.
On a part of the stair railing where there would have been steps leading upward.
The upper part had long since been obliterated by a giant tree.
‘There’s no room left that the tree has eaten. And this.’
Sehyuk bent down and looked down at the tree roots.
Traces of small T-shirts, skirts, etc. hanging in a messy manner.
‘It looks like someone hurriedly gathered up their clothes and ran away. Maybe they were the ones who hurriedly left the place where there was only furniture.’
However, this was not the situation that Sehyuk noticed.
‘An opportunity to gain new powers that you may not have considered.’
The house attached to this farm gave Sehyuk some unexpected information.
Sehyuk carefully pushed away the clothes and picked up the broken picture frame that had fallen among them.
The photo he found while looking around here and kept looking at.
And the person in the photo was someone Sehyuk knew well.
