Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 59
Only Noblemtl
Episode 59
Go Jeong-hwan walks while swinging his dagger.
A copper bull that spots a fixed ring in the sky and rushes forward, snorting.
Goh Jeong-hwan responded by ducking down and narrowly avoiding the bull.
Kwakwakwak!
The hooves of a bull charging and stopping.
Weeds and dirt from the surrounding fields are thrown around and turned over.
Go Jeong-hwan took advantage of the opportunity and began swinging his meat knife, ‘Continued Will’.
A dagger emitting a bluish light dances.
Countless blue lines drawn in the air.
Sehyuk could read it from that appearance
‘The sword has become more sophisticated.’
At first glance, the trajectories of the sword light appear to be swinging in different directions.
But Sehyuk knows.
The fact that all of those blades are aimed at one point.
‘If it was the previous fixed-term, I would have stabbed him indiscriminately to create an irregularity.’
It was an amazing feat.
This is a swordsmanship technique that cannot be performed without fully understanding what your sword will look like.
It was also an example showing that Go Jeong-hwan’s swordsmanship had improved to a higher level.
Damn!
The magic of the correction ring cutting the same spot again.
The numerous sword strikes tore the middle of the bull monster’s stomach apart.
Originally, Go Jeong-hwan had been using various weapons based on speed.
Of course, the speed has become much faster.
Accuracy, which had been slightly reduced due to using various weapons, improved with the acquisition of slaughter talent.
In addition, Sehyuk was able to see one more piece of evidence that Goh Jeonghwan’s sword had improved compared to before.
‘That belly area is definitely the weak point of the copper bull. If we inflict internal damage through that belly area, we can easily defeat it.’
I know.
Identifying weaknesses.
This is also a new ability gained through slaughter talent.
‘The talent for slaughter is knowing what kind of body your opponent has.’
Butchers and butchers are people who know how to prepare meat accurately and sharply.
Their ability comes from their experience reading the texture of the meat and cutting along the flow.
‘That means you can figure out your opponent’s weaknesses.’
If you apply that principle to swordsmanship, you can figure out the physical abilities of a monster.
Because it becomes possible to distinguish what kind of body the monster has and what kind of flesh it is made of.
‘During the slaughtering process, you naturally learn which parts of the body are weak points.’
Go Jeong-hwan, who inherited the power of a butcher who has been running a butcher shop for generations.
That sophistication also permeated Goh Jeong-hwan’s swordsmanship.
‘In short, slaughter talent is knowing where to cut and cutting it accurately and quickly.’
That is also something that is in line with swordsmanship.
Gooooo!
A copper bull leaping into the sky with a roar.
Taking advantage of that gap, Go Jeong-hwan stabs with his sword like lightning.
At the weak point of the bull whose hide had been broken earlier to create a gap.
Phew!
The meat cleaver, which was quite long for a dagger, was stabbed deep into the bastard’s stomach with the ‘Continuing Will’.
Up to the handle of the sword.
And Sehyuk saw.
From Go Jeong-hwan’s sword, magical power flashes.
‘Go Jeong-hwan. Did you learn how to charge your weapon with magic power?’
Seeing his colleagues grow, Sehyuk felt very satisfied.
He is also the teacher of many dancers before his return.
Kkuuuuuuu!
A decisive blow filled with magical power.
The copper bull monster, whose weakness had been exploited, let out a final cry and fell.
“Certainly, I can feel myself getting stronger.”
A smile appeared on Goh Jeong-hwan’s face.
And then, Go Jeong-hwan begins to groom the bull in a familiar manner.
Boohoo!
Starting from the belly of the copper bull, he begins to peel the skin off and cut out the flesh.
Sehyuk saw another benefit of his slaughtering talent here that he had not expected.
Copper-trimmed leather gleamed before his eyes.
The hide was a more intense brown color than when the cow was alive.
‘If you have the slaughter talent, you can randomly get a higher quality reward than the basic one by classifying the by-products.’
The higher the level of your slaughter talent, the higher the probability.
After some time, Goh Jeong-hwan brought out well-groomed pieces of leather and meat.
“I am satisfied.”
The skin of the copper bull is special, of a lower level than unique.
However, this leather has advantages that other materials cannot match.
‘It’s one of the best items for making accessories for clothing. There are only a handful of leathers that can be used as accessories at the unique level.’
It has the disadvantage of being unsuitable for use as clothing fabric, but it is fine for use as auxiliary material.
‘The options are also good. If you use it as a consumable, it will give your clothes increased physical strength and resistance to earth, lightning, and wind attribute magic.’
Strengthened from all sides.
But simple abilities are just the tip of the iceberg of what this item has.
‘The real option is to be able to use the Copper Ox’s unique magic.’
Option to use the unique magic of the Copper Ox when worn.
It is copying the unique magic of a 5th-grade, semi-boss monster.
In other words, just by wearing this outfit, you can use the highest power magic of the current top-ranking magicians.
‘If used by a top-level wizard, it could double the power.’
There is also a high research value due to the small population of copper bulls and their rarity as unique magic.
Before the return, it was a leather that even other races were interested in and studying.
‘The good thing is, it doesn’t end here.’
The meat of a copper ox, rich in flavor and full of magical power.
I can finally taste fresh meat.
And that too at the highest level.
‘I can finally eat strengthened dishes with magical powers.’
* * *
After returning home.
Go Jeong-hwan immediately rented Se-hyeok’s mansion and started cooking.
The rest of the colleagues are all sitting huddled together in Sehyuk’s living room.
Among them, the one who is showing the most anticipated appearance is, of course, Cha Ye-seong.
She was sitting on the sofa, clutching a bottle of liquor in her hand, and kept glancing at the kitchen next to the living room.
The little dragon’s eyes are also shining next to Cha Ye-seong.
He can’t hide the excitement on his face.
“Huh. Why are you all gathered here and sitting like this, talking about meat?”
“Well, you say that, but Mr. Park Sun-hwan is also sitting here.”
Park Soon-hwan, with his arms crossed and a sinister, arrogant expression.
He was hit by Choi Sung-hyun’s attack and ended up becoming a laughing stock for the rest of his life.
After a while.
Everyone except Go Jeong-hwan took out a folding table in the living room of Se-hyeok’s house and sat huddled together.
Cha Ye-seong, Choi Sung-hyun, Jang Young-soo, and Park Soon-hwan.
And today’s main character, Go Jeong-hwan, comes out of the kitchen holding a bowl.
“Have you been waiting long?”
Put the bowl down on the table.
There was raw meat inside.
Raw meat cut into bite-size pieces using a fine knife.
Luxurious white marbling sandwiched between bright red meat.
You can tell at a glance that it is high-quality meat.
The outer surface is glossy, and the unique savory sesame oil scent and sweet smell of raw meat stimulate the appetite.
“Ugh, I haven’t had much raw meat even before the destruction. It’s the best when eaten with alcohol.”
Cha Ye-seong’s eyes sparkle.
I’m staring at him so intently that I feel like my stomach is going to burst.
Although they don’t say anything, other people also seem to want to eat it quickly as they are holding their chopsticks in their hands.
And then, Go Jeong-hwan brings another bowl.
This time, wearing kitchen gloves, holding a large pot with both hands.
When Go Jeong-hwan opens the ceramic lid of the earthenware pot with his glove, warm steam gushes out.
And then, the sweet and savory smell of soy sauce spreads around.
Inside the earthenware pot was bulgogi seasoned with soy sauce.
The sophisticated and refined appearance of Korean food.
Choi Sung-hyun is amazed at the sight.
“I feel so happy when I think about mixing it with rice. My mother made a lot of it for me.”
And finally, Sehyuk comes out holding a lunch box and a spatula.
Go Jeong-hwan, who was naturally handed a rice bowl and spatula, gently stirs the rice with the spatula.
“Give me the bowl. I’ll give it to you.”
Start eating.
Drumroll. Drumroll. For a long time, there was no word and only the sound of dishes clinking went back and forth.
Maybe everyone was thinking of adding at least one more point while talking.
Because everyone was watching with eagle eyes for food.
‘It looks like everyone really wanted to eat meat.’
Sehyuk put a few pieces of raw meat into his mouth.
Could it be because it’s been a long time since I’ve had meat?
A chewy texture that melts in your mouth.
A rich, savory, and savory flavor with just the right amount of meat and fat spreads throughout your mouth.
And the sweetness that holds the flavor together without making it burdensome.
“Wow, this is really the best.”
Cha Ye-seong has a relaxed expression as he munches on raw meat.
The baby next to him is also happily picking up meat and eating it.
Some people pick up the bulgogi first.
“Wow, this is the taste. Homemade soup, sweet soy sauce. Even the unique deep savory flavor of the sauce.”
Seonghyeon Choi mixed the bulgogi into the rice and put it in his mouth in one bite.
Jang Young-soo took a bite of the meat and put it in with rice.
“It has a great chewy texture. It has just the right amount of texture, but it melts in your mouth without losing its softness. It’s definitely high-quality meat.”
Jang Young-soo smiles in admiration.
It’s a taste that even makes Jang Young-soo, who had been keeping silent, open his mouth.
In a friendly atmosphere, we eat and chat.
“But, weren’t you short on ingredients to cook?”
Jang Young-soo asks Go Jeong-hwan.
Go Jeong-hwan answers with a smile.
“There wasn’t much in the way of vegetables. But there were quite a few seasonings. There were also some perfectly good glass bottles of pear drinks.”
“That’s right. Pears are added to things like raw meat, bulgogi, and ribs to enhance the flavor. I think they said that you can also substitute it with a pear drink.”
Fortunately, seasonings such as seafood powder, soy sauce, and sugar can be stored for a long time at room temperature.
“It’s a shame there’s no egg yolk or garlic. It would have been more delicious if there had been.”
“But the meat is so well-prepared. Even though there aren’t enough ingredients, it’s still incredibly delicious.”
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and continued talking to each other.
Choi Sung-hyun, who had always looked awkward, now converses well with Ko Jeong-hwan, Jang Yeong-su, and Park Sun-hwan.
This is the power of delicious cooking.
Sehyuk was quietly looking at his colleagues.
He discovered one more gift from this meal.
‘The magical power of the silver mine within the body has noticeably increased.’
Your body will feel more energetic and full of energy, and the quality and quantity of magical power circulating in your body and stored in a refined state will increase significantly.
‘It must be the effect of cooking. Since it’s a dish filled with magic, it’s much faster than expected. It’s probably something that requires a certain level of cooking talent to make.’
Perhaps, this culinary talent was also left behind by the pig monster of the livestock market.
I finished eating.
One by one, they get up from the table and clean up the surroundings.
The moment Sehyuk also got up to clean up the place.
“Ah, Sehyuk is resting here. He works hard for us every day, right?”
“That’s right. Take some rest.”
“I’ll do the dishes!”
His colleagues forcibly dragged Sehyuk over and made him sit on the sofa.
And then, they start cleaning up after themselves.
Sehyuk looks at that sight.
As he eats something delicious and rests comfortably, many complicated thoughts begin to arise in Sehyuk’s head.
‘Before the return, we barely managed to survive on the brink of destruction, so we didn’t have time to eat things like this.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve had this taste, so it’s a new experience.
‘In this life, I won’t just survive like that. I have to build a strong force.’
Seoul Survivors’ Coalition.
Even the strongest group in Seoul had a population of less than 20.
It was such a difficult time.
‘Of course, they are strong survivors and that’s the number.’
There were many reasons to build up power in various ways.
One is to avoid being unable to properly prepare for destruction and end up in danger of extinction like before the return.
Another reason is to avoid being attacked by the Seoul Survivors’ Association.
The reason Sehyuk suffered from those guys was because of the information gap caused entirely by the difference in numbers.
It’s because I lived alone without building a force to fight against.
‘I’m going to live this life a little differently.’
So as not to live miserably.
And to get an advantage over those Seoul Survivors’ Association guys.
* * *
A day passed.
After organizing all the things he had acquired from his visit to the livestock market, Sehyuk sat down on the sofa.
A question that arose while visiting the livestock market.
Recover the strength you’ve gained over time and prepare to move on to the next step.
To do one thing I had in mind, to be able to do all of those things.
And then, Sehyuk pressed the skull that could summon the king of the undead.
The overarching goal was simple.
‘Destruction Vision Magic. We must move on to the next step.’
If the negotiation is successful, Cha Ye-seong will be able to grow to the next level.
By obtaining the next level of magic that no other magic can match in power.
A greater destruction is imminent.
It’s time to get your hands on some powerful firepower.
