Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 58
Only Noblemtl
Episode 58
The people at the livestock market rush towards Sehyuk, drawing their slaughter knives.
To make Sehyuk into minced meat chunks.
A scene where it looks like butchers are rushing in.
However, Sehyuk had already decided a long time ago how to deal with this person.
Crunch!
Sehyuk’s silver sword sparkles.
Just one cut.
From the tip of the sword, a silver sword energy that is compressed to the limit extends out.
Boom. Roll.
First, the village chief’s head falls off.
And the black energy covers the people behind.
widely.
The moment Sehyuk picks up the dimensional adjuster and places it on his waist.
All the people in the livestock market lost their heads, leaving only their bodies.
Like the straw left over from the autumn harvest.
“Phew.”
Sehyuk sighed.
This is the only way the world can be like.
The murderers in the livestock market, and Sehyuk too.
Sehyuk stood still for a moment and thought.
If the world were normal, what would this livestock market look like?
‘Of course these guys might have colluded to rip off the price or something, but at least no one got killed.’
An outside victim passing through the livestock market.
Victims within the livestock market who tried to report and reflect on the evil deeds.
Everyone would not have died and turned into monsters.
After a moment of thought, Se-hyeok returned to where Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon were.
“Is it over now? I don’t know about the tools, but I don’t think I can find a chef or butcher.”
The incident at the livestock market has been resolved, but the items we actually need have not yet been procured.
“It’s not over yet. There’s still a monster inside the iron gate. I don’t know if I can get some slaughter talent from there.”
At that moment.
Ding-ding-
The clock strikes inside the market.
Then, a crackling broadcast leaks out of the market.
[What you want, I can give you.]
“Hey, is that a monster talking to us?”
The call of an unexpected monster.
Choi Sung-hyun is surprised after hearing the broadcast.
It was surprising.
The monster that was trying to tear Sehyuk and his group apart just a moment ago is suddenly showing a friendly attitude.
Sehyuk seemed to know to some extent.
‘Oh, really? Is this because I’m taking revenge on these monsters?’
The higher the difficulty, the greater the reward.
That’s why problem solving that exceeds the achievement level is bound to be rewarded accordingly.
‘A kind of hidden route. Something like that.’
While others were simply killing monsters, Sehyuk uncovered and solved the secrets hidden behind this livestock market.
Perhaps this is the reason why the monster is called this.
“Let’s go.”
The three men stood in front of the iron gate inside the livestock market.
Yeah, yeah.
When he brought the book covered in flesh, the chopping board, and the blue-glowing skull to the iron door, the iron door opened with a heavy sound.
Inside the iron gate there were stairs leading down to the basement.
Seonghyeon Choi goes down into the dark basement, using the lighter he carries as a temporary light source.
The lower you go, the stronger the putrid stench becomes.
The end of the stairs is the basement.
A small iron gate welcomed Sehyuk and his party.
I carefully grabbed the doorknob and turned it to open the iron door.
Inside was what Sehyuk and his group were looking for.
[The ones who will end all this are here.]
A monster that appears to be the boss monster of this livestock market.
What was inside the room was a huge, hideous, pig-headed monster.
“Ugh, uh.”
Choi Sung-hyun takes a deep breath when he sees that sight.
The monster’s appearance was terrifying.
It’s so surprising that I know there’s no hostility.
There was nothing under the monster’s giant pig head.
Like a pig’s head offered on an altar.
To be exact, the torso that should have been under the monster’s massive head was already a lump of flesh stuck to the floor and flowing out.
And the monster’s melted body was completely rotten, covered in melted ooze and mold.
The monster moves the corners of its mouth toward Sehyuk and his group.
Perhaps it was an attempt to force a faint smile.
[Do you feel sorry? It’s okay. I can become a Buddha now. This horrible punishment will soon end now that those guys are dead. That was the promise I made to those monsters.]
A monster that is ugly and dirty, but still has its reason.
Go Jeong-hwan looked at the sight and lowered his eyes.
“I’ve always felt this, but this destruction is truly cruel. They’re turning healthy people into bodies that can neither live nor die.”
A fusion monster of a fairy and a human that existed in the Forest of Grudge.
The pig’s head you’re looking at now.
They are all people who tried to live ordinary and good lives in their own way.
These are ordinary people who are suffering in the most horrible ways.
“Originally, the weak and kind people are the most pitiful in life.”
Sehyuk let out a deep sigh.
“So, we, the powerful ones, should clean up the trash on their behalf.”
[That’s a great saying. Yes. People like you are called heroes. The world needs heroes now.]
A giant pig’s head looks at Sehyuk and his group with a forlorn look.
[If my father had been strong, things might have been a little different.]
[Thank you so much. For taking care of those human bastards for my father and me.]
As he finished speaking, the pig-headed monster slowly began to melt.
“It’s something that should have been done.”
Sehyuk looked straight into the eyes of the pig monster.
[Yes. For those of you, I will do my best to compensate you. Butchery talent, and meat preparation tools. I have something I can do.]
A fleshy book, a cutting board, and a bluish skull fly towards the pig monster.
A pig monster that absorbs all three of those tools.
Soon, the pig monster’s pressed flesh splits apart, and the inside of the split flesh emits a faint light.
[Take it out.]
Sehyuk immediately took out a tool from inside the split skin.
The object was a cutting board that emitted blue light.
[Take that and go to where the cutting board was originally. There should be a matching item there. If you take those two, you can probably fill what you need.]
[This is my father’s heirloom. It was originally something I inherited, but I wish you would use it.]
Sehyuk looked back and forth between the cutting board and the pig monster.
The body of a pig monster that will never be able to use a cutting board again.
Destruction is cruel.
This is how you twist the life of a perfectly normal person.
Sehyuk spoke carefully.
“thanks.”
[I am more grateful.]
Is this because everything is over?
The pig monster that had been slowly melting was now slowly disappearing, starting from the stuck part of the floor.
Sehyuk looked at the sight and spoke quietly.
“Your father, whom you wanted to protect. I think he is a hero too.”
Sehyuk swept the chopping board once.
“A hero is not a man of strength, but a man of righteous will.”
[Thank you for saying so.]
[I’m so glad someone like you is here to finish this job.]
The pig monster slowly disappears.
Sehyuk and his group watched the scene, then carefully closed the iron door and went outside.
Head to the butcher shop where the cutting board was.
Sehyuk and his party discovered an object there that they had not seen before.
A meat slicing knife with a bluish tint.
The sharp blade gleamed white, and the wooden handle was shiny and neat, as if it had been passed down through generations.
As Sehyuk gently placed his hand on the sword, warm memories began to flow into it.
The act of entertaining guests.
The incident where he scolded his son for wanting to take over the family business.
There are warm anecdotes, such as the story of how he eventually taught his son how to run a butcher shop.
I could feel it together.
‘It seems that if I hold this knife, I can gain the talent of slaughter.’
transmission.
The family business and will that the pig’s head should have inherited originally
It seems like I will be taking over instead.
It was the pig’s head’s last gift of gratitude to them.
‘I will accept your and your father’s will well.’
Sehyuk happened to know someone who was quite suitable for this sword.
“Go Jeong-hwan. I think this sword would suit you best.”
“Huh? Me?”
“I heard from Cha Ye-seong. She said that she worked hard taking care of Cha Ye-seong. She’s also quite good at cooking.”
Aside from Se-hyeok, Go Jeong-hwan is the only one of his colleagues who has a guardian role to protect.
‘Since it can use all kinds of weapons, it is perfect as a secondary weapon.’
And, one more thing.
‘A side effect that usually comes with slaughter talent. If Go Jeong-hwan has it, he can become even stronger.’
“Okay. Then I will accept it gratefully.”
Go Jeong-hwan gripped the dagger tightly.
A faint light flows into Goh Jeong-hwan.
“I think I have a general idea. Like how to prepare monster meat.”
Go Jeong-hwan looks down at the knife.
“This knife seems like a pretty good item.”
“It seems so to me too. It’s hard to say for sure, but it seems like something special.”
A shining kitchen knife infused with a family’s secret recipe and someone’s will.
That heart can certainly be said to be special.
“I want to give it a name. What do you think, Sehyuk?”
“Let me think about it.”
I’m lost in thought for a moment.
Sehyuk glanced around the restaurant.
A pig monster that was quite sentimental.
Thinking about what I would name that person.
“Isn’t it okay if the will to continue is enough?”
“That’s fine.”
It was a successful expedition.
* * *
It didn’t take long for Goh Jeong-hwan to realize the power of what he had gained.
While riding my bike home.
As he passed by, Sehyuk was able to see an unusual sight.
Sehyuk immediately stopped the bike.
‘The shape of the sky is clearly a sign of the monster’s appearance.’
When he stopped his bike, Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon also stopped for a moment.
“What’s going on? Oh, there’s something strange about the sky over there.”
Go Jeong-hwan, who had stopped the bike together, looked back at Se-hyeok with a puzzled expression and nodded.
Clear and sunny weather.
Meanwhile, the sky nearby that Sehyuk was looking at was alone with thunder and lightning.
‘You’re seeing that now. You must be quite lucky.’
I ride my bike and get closer to take a look.
As we get closer, the monster we were looking for becomes more visible.
In a thunderstorm-filled sky, a giant metal-skinned bull flies, spitting fire from its mouth.
5th grade monster.
It was the appearance of the ‘flying copper bull of the sky’.
‘At that level, they’re top-tier monsters that aren’t boss monsters. You could say they’re monsters that are comparable to mini-bosses.’
Woohoooo …
As the cow roars into the air, magical gusts of wind spread out in all directions.
A whirlwind that ravages surrounding buildings and plants.
It was the majesty of a powerful monster.
In addition, that monster has high defense due to its sturdy copper leather.
It is literally like a heavenly chariot.
‘Still, he’s a guy with a clear way of dealing with things.’
Sehyuk’s level is so high that it’s not like he can’t win in a fight.
It’s better to fight, even if it’s just for the reward.
At that moment, Sehyuk was about to draw his sword.
“Mr. Sehyuk. I would like to test out my newfound power.”
Go Jeong-hwan stepped forward.
“Now that I’ve gotten the slaughter, I think I know how to deal with that guy.”
Sehyuk, who had been checking the estimate for a moment, nodded.
‘Yes. It’s the perfect opponent to test out Go Jeong-hwan’s new power, along with his coping skills.’
“Okay. Give it a try.”
Go Jeong-hwan draws his dagger and rushes at the copper bull.
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, smiled with satisfaction.
Well cooked.
The true value of slaughtering talent.
