Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 56
Only Noblemtl
Episode 56
Crunch. Crunch.
The giant being sitting in the meat warehouse kept having his face buried in something and eating.
I can hear him crunching bones from here.
Every time there was a crack, the bastard’s long, coarse, stiff hair would sway.
“eww….”
Choi Sung-hyun is trembling.
Even without looking, you can tell that his face is pale.
“You guys don’t come.”
Se-hyeok leaves Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon outside.
Take a fighting stance and slowly examine the monster.
To figure out the opponent’s fighting style through his actions and habits.
It’s a reading of the sword.
The monster slowly turns its head.
It was a bipedal wild boar monster about three meters tall.
It looks like a mix between a wild boar and a human.
As if he were actually human, a faded and torn black T-shirt with a white drawing still on it dangles from his body.
‘Are you the residents of the livestock market contaminated with monsters, as the village chief said?’
The standoff didn’t last long.
Kkuuuuu!
The monster threw away the rotten leg it was holding and rushed towards Sehyuk and his group.
A tremendous amount of momentum is being directed at Sehyuk and his group.
I could tell intuitively.
‘If you fight here, you will definitely lose.’
We need to move location.
Sehyuk quickly ran outside and closed the iron door.
Boom! Boom!
A protruding iron gate and the wall surrounding it.
It seemed like the monster was trying to get out.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“Move to a wider place.”
Narrow space.
Strong force.
It is a disadvantageous battlefield for Sehyuk, who has a speed advantage over monsters.
Because it moves quickly, there is no room to dodge.
“This is a relatively wide road, so it’s worth fighting. You just follow my orders.”
As Sehyuk said, we set up a fighting position.
Kwakwakwang! Clang! Clang.
Ugh.
The iron door falls away under the pressure, shattering the glass of the meat display case.
Through the disappeared iron gate, a wild boar monster appeared, breaking through the surrounding wall.
And, Sehyuk is in front of the store.
I was standing on a relatively wide road.
‘Your opponent is me.’
When the monster first encountered them earlier, Sehyuk could tell.
The monster’s eyes were directed towards Choi Sung-hyun and Go Jeong-hwan.
‘He has the intelligence to aim for the strong. He’s also very fast for his size and strength.’
That’s why Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon were kept hidden.
So that I can fight Sehyuk completely.
‘I may be faster, but my speed and intelligence are not enough to guarantee that I can hit the target with a straight sword. So, I’ll have to use another solution.’
That is why Sehyuk chose an all-out, long-term war.
To test out the new weapons of Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon.
Cool! Cool!
The boar monster and Sehyuk clash.
Sehyuk’s preemptive strike.
A dimensional adjuster imbued with silver magic slashes toward the roof of the bastard’s mouth.
At the same time, the Dimensional Adjuster’s binding net covers the monster.
A wild boar monster that stands still.
However, the monster was no easy feat.
visor-
The bastard blocked the attack by gnashing the blade with his teeth and surprisingly sharp claws.
Although he was not a dimensional adjuster who could be harmed by such attacks, Sehyuk could feel the pressure on his sword with his hand.
‘What a fearsome force.’
The hand holding the sword is trembling.
Balance of power.
Some people use their strength to split their opponent’s mouth open, while others struggle to stop the blade from entering their mouth.
For a split second, Sehyuk and the monster’s eyes meet.
Sehyuk could read a deep hatred in the monster’s eyes.
‘Even if it’s anger, it’s hatred.’
Anger is an emotion like heat that is expressed indiscriminately.
Hatred is the same unpleasant emotion, but a little different.
It’s a pretty dark emotion compressed into a blade that clearly wants to stab someone.
‘In short, hatred is the feeling of wanting to kill someone. But why?’
I have a strange feeling.
An unpleasant feeling that you’re missing some clue.
But now we’re in battle.
The dimensional adjuster still trembles at his fingertips.
A struggle where each side tries to stick a knife into the other’s head.
In that situation, the first one to lose strength was Sehyuk.
He puts away his sword, spins in the air, and lands lightly on his back.
And then, a wild boar monster squirms through the empty space.
Because Sehyuk suddenly lost his strength.
And, this was what Sehyuk was aiming for.
“Now shoot!”
Wedge!
An arrow flies through the air.
A unique arrow with a pivot made of tree vines instead of feathers.
It’s a fairy arrow.
Of course, it was Go Jeong-hwan who shot it.
And then, the sword pierces the shoulder of the staggering boar monster.
Kuwoah! Kuwoah!
The monster writhes in agony.
Looking at that sight, Sehyuk felt satisfied.
‘The fairy’s bow and arrow. More powerful than I thought?’
It is a wild boar monster that blocked Sehyuk’s sharp silver sword with its bite force.
As it is such a monster, its hide must be quite thick.
But, he pierced through that leather in one shot.
It’s not like Go Jeong-hwan shot it with magical power.
‘It’s fortunate that Goh Jeong-hwan’s talent as a master of weapons has also been applied to bows.’
The greatest strength of Go Jeong-hwan is his versatility.
The ability to fill a hexagon is something that is loved everywhere.
Se-hyeok was determined to raise Go Jeong-hwan like that.
The monster, writhing in agony, grabbed its own shoulder and rushed at Sehyuk.
To be exact, that’s what I was trying to do.
The moment when the bastard takes a lunging stance and opens his mouth wide.
Phew!
The back of the boar’s head bursts off.
The bullet went through the gaping mouth.
And on the other side stands Choi Sung-hyun.
The result of his long-time efforts.
Baby Yong aims an old revolver enhanced with magic power.
Bang! Bang!
Choi Sung-hyun pours bullets straight into the wild boar.
The bullet ruptures the boar’s eye and pierces its neck.
A wild boar monster with its head exploded.
The dead man’s corpse slowly falls forward.
Sehyuk looked down at the sight and thought.
It was because the results were better than expected.
‘It’s just a bullet in a revolver reinforced with the lowest level of magic, but it has this much power.’
The original tactic was for Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon to distract the bastard with bullets, and for Se-hyeok to finish him off.
However, with strong firepower, Sehyuk was able to finish off the monster without giving it a chance to do anything.
Of course, the reason that attack was possible was because Sehyuk stood in front and firmly protected his comrades.
‘Still, I can’t do everything forever, right?’
It’s a gratifying sight for a captain.
If Sunghyun Choi starts to properly hone his magic engineering, it will be exciting to see what kind of things he can come up with.
Now that we’ve caught the monster, it’s time to find the first clue to open the iron gate.
Sehyuk and his party entered the meat warehouse where the monster was.
“Ugh.”
Seong-Hyeon Choi, who saw the inside, holds his nose again and starts to gag.
That was understandable.
The place where the monster had been was covered with black marks of something that had rotted and dried up.
It felt as if one side of the floor was rotting away.
Besides, there are a few clumps of blood scattered on top of it.
The meat hooks, which have not been properly cleaned of blood and thus give off an ominous atmosphere, are a bonus.
“It’s terrible. The outside was fine.”
Go Jeong-hwan also feels disgusted at the sight.
Start rummaging through the warehouse.
In addition to where the monster was, the warehouse also had a back door and a tool chest.
“I will investigate this.”
First, examine the place where the monster was.
In the place where the monster had been, a pulsating mass of flesh filled with tangled veins was left.
Somehow, all this procrastination is making my head spin.
I can feel it.
‘Is this the mental pollution people were talking about? But I can still endure it to this extent.’
He has seen this sight many times.
Slowly dig into the inside of the flesh.
Parts of a human limb and a torn piece of blue shirt that appeared to have been clothing.
This is all I found out.
“There’s nothing much to see, so be careful not to look too closely at this. It seems like a mind-polluting trap.”
Next, the three clung to the back door.
No matter how much Choi Sung-hyun tried, the back door wouldn’t open.
‘There’s no lock or key, so let’s skip this for now.’
All that’s left is the toolbox.
Finally, take a look at your toolbox.
‘It’s locked.’
A large lock dangles in the middle of the toolbox.
“Perhaps, there is something in here that the people at the livestock market were talking about.”
Unlike the back door here, which cannot be opened at all, there is a large lock on it.
There is no place else to be.
“Then should I look for the key somewhere else?”
Go Jeong-hwan looks worried as he sees that.
“Maybe so. But right now, I think it would be better to save time.”
Sehyuk looked closely around the toolbox.
To check what devices you have.
There was nothing particularly bothersome.
Sehyuk started working right away.
“Ugh!”
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
The Dimensional Adjuster carefully cuts off the ring portion of the lock.
The lock falls limply to the floor, making a noise.
Sehyuk immediately opened the toolbox.
‘As expected.’
Inside the toolbox was a book covered in flesh.
‘Perhaps this is one of the three things that can open that iron door.’
And then something strange happened.
“Ugh, ugh.”
As soon as he saw the book, Choi Sung-hyun crouched down and started shivering.
“Wh, what’s going on, Seonghyun?”
Go Jeong-hwan trying to take care of Choi Seong-hyeon who has collapsed.
But his face is pale too.
And Choi Sung-hyun crouched down and started spitting out incomprehensible words.
“I was wrong, I was wrong, I won’t say anything. I was wrong. I’ll get out of here.”
‘It seems like you’re hallucinating due to mental contamination.’
Sehyuk could feel it.
This book, too, was full of an eerie magic.
The same magic I felt at the spot where the clock and the monster were earlier.
“You two should rest a bit. Mr. Go Jeong-hwan, if Choi Seong-hyeon does anything unexpected, please catch him.”
Leaving the two alone, Sehyuk opened the book.
The moment I opened the book.
A scene unfolded before Sehyuk’s eyes.
A man dressed in black enters the livestock market.
Perhaps appearing to be an outsider.
And then, a man’s terrible scream is heard from inside the livestock market.
After this, several more people, including a woman in a green top and a man in a white shirt, enter the livestock market and scream repeatedly.
The scene ended there.
‘Did that monster just eat a person?’
A scene that isn’t particularly bizarre.
It is likely that this shows information related to the monster inside this livestock market.
‘But why this scene of all times?’
A scene that doesn’t seem particularly important.
We’ve already told you that monsters eat humans.
I’m starting to feel a bit suspicious.
And Sehyuk could quickly see where the doubts were coming from and what the problem was.
There is another truth behind this livestock market.
