Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 70
Only Noblemtl
Episode 70
Light began to leak out through the gaps in the spaceship.
A blue and pink glow similar to the crystals in this area.
At the same time, a powerful wave of magical power is released.
It’s a power I’ve already experienced.
Simple but most effective method.
‘brainwashing.’
With my daughter.
The gun falls out of Choi Sung-hyun’s hand.
His eyes were empty and his movements were slow.
At the same time.
Kwaang!
A huge, fluffy hammer flies towards Sehyuk.
A hammer is stuck in the spot where Sehyuk was.
The floor is turned upside down.
It was a power that felt like a mountain was rising.
“Huh!”
Sehyuk avoids the hammer.
Taking advantage of the gap, Go Jeong-hwan’s quick sword quickly flies in, aiming for Se-hyeok’s neck.
visor!
Block the sword and take a step back.
At the same time, look at the situation.
‘Are Goh Jeong-hwan, Choi Seong-hyeon, and Bokseul Bokseul brainwashed?’
Things are not going well.
Go Jeong-hwan holding the sword tightly.
A fluffy guy whose whole body is covered in weapons and who uses a huge hammer.
Both of them are pretty strong.
Those two rush in without taking care of their own bodies.
An attack solely aimed at killing Sehyuk.
It’s bound to be tricky.
‘This can’t hurt that much.’
If it was meant to be killing, one swing of the sword would be enough.
But keeping someone alive is several times more difficult than killing them.
Even more so when the tentacles attack overlaps with it.
‘If your mental strength is vaguely strong, that’s the problem.’
If I had just dropped my weapon and become a fool like Choi Sung-hyun, this wouldn’t have happened.
The only good thing is that Cha Ye-seong is fine.
‘If Cha Ye-seong had been brainwashed, it would have been a big problem.’
He was holding his head and breathing heavily.
The same goes for the little dragon.
‘Well, I expected it wouldn’t work out since I had learned something.’
Cha Ye-seong is an ancient magic user, and the little dragon is a race close to a demigod, so it seems that he has endured the brainwashing.
Of course, there is nothing Cha Ye-seong can do.
“Sehyuk, what should I do? What can I do…?”
Cha Ye-seong looks back at Se-hyeok with an embarrassed expression.
It was a difficult situation where I could barely block the tentacles with magic.
Cha Ye-seong is also a murder specialist, so he is no help in neutralizing Go Jeong-hwan and Bokseul Bokseul.
[Haha, you little creature! Are you going to kill your comrades with your own hands?]
The tentacles roar with pride.
[If you can’t kill, you have no choice but to die!]
The tentacles, fixed rings, and fluffy fur all rushed at Sehyuk.
Sehyuk draws his sword
Chomp!
His lightning sword slices through tentacles.
[Even if you draw your sword, your comrades, huh?]
A tentacle that was still proud even though it was splitting apart.
The tentacles pause again in confusion.
With the support of the tentacles, it’s a 2 vs 1 situation.
But still, Sehyuk reacted too easily.
Bam!
First, he kicks away the rushing Go Jeong-hwan, and then strikes Boksul Boksul’s forehead with the handle of his sword.
“Ugh, ugh!”
Fluffy fl …
He gets slammed into the wall and doesn’t get up.
[What the heck! It can be neutralized so easily?]
“You’re stupid. How could a human who has trained to the point of cutting off your own tentacles not have conducted human research?”
[This, this little thing is insulting me!]
The tentacles thrash about in anger, destroying the crystal rocks around them.
“What you’re doing is stupid. Then what do you say?”
Kagang!
Sehyuk didn’t care at all though.
“Well, I understand. Being smart isn’t a crime, right?”
Then, Go Jeong-hwan rushes in and hits Ming-chi, knocking him out.
Inspector Lee Se-hyeok.
It penetrates all the way to the human body.
“Okay. I understand. I’m the other person.”
[Kuaaaah!]
A spaceship completely destroyed by Sehyuk.
Cracks appear in the metal body of the spaceship.
A few pieces of metal deck fall to the ground.
Did he use up all his strength trying to stop Sehyuk?
The bright magical light that had been flashing on the spaceship had now become dim and weak.
“Is this all there is to it?”
Srrrrung.
He draws his sword and approaches the spaceship.
To destroy the spaceship and finish off the tentacle’s core.
A spaceship with tentacles hanging on the ground without moving at all.
The spaceship that was emitting a faint light,
The atmosphere changed completely from before.
[I see.]
[Even if you try to save them, the little creatures don’t know gratitude.]
[In the end, this is the only way to do it.]
It was a low, sinister voice.
Different from before.
The magical power felt is also completely different from before.
‘Something is strange.’
Now we’re one step ahead of the spaceship.
I feel that way.
The turning point is whether to go back or forward.
Sehyuk trusted his instincts.
A strange sense of crisis.
Trust that feeling and run backwards.
At that moment.
At the center of the spaceship, a powerful wave of magical energy rippled out.
A hollow force that sucks the magical power from the spaceship it comes in contact with.
Parsak!
Sehyuk could see it.
The fluffy hammer that had been lying on the ground slowly turned into crystal.
“Yes, I will help you!”
Se-hyeok hurriedly brought Bokseul Bokseul and Go Jeong-hwan along with Choi Seong-hyeon who had come to his senses.
The light in the surrounding crystal caves disappears.
The light fades from the bright sky and the pink shimmering crystal.
Crystals that have turned gray.
The gray crystal that had lost its light soon crumbled into dust.
Sehyuk’s whole body got goosebumps when he saw that sight.
‘If only I had come closer.’
[A quick-witted guy.]
[You’re really struggling and making a fuss.]
The blue tentacles, which had regained some of their light, extend out from the spaceship again.
[But it’s over now.]
The outstretched tentacles shoot out like rays of light.
Boom!
The tentacles were pointed not at Sehyuk, but at the ceiling of the cave behind Sehyuk.
‘I thought it was going to shoot this way. What were you thinking?’
Sehyuk was preparing to defend himself with his sword.
I quickly changed my stance and cut off the outstretched tentacle, but it was already stuck in the ceiling.
‘This is much faster than before. Is this really true?’
Gurrrrrr!
The embedded tentacles collapse the ceiling.
Rocks fall from the ceiling.
“Cha Ye-seong, watch your head!”
Stones fall from the ceiling and pile up to form a wall.
I could tell when I saw the sight.
‘This guy was trying to block our retreat from the beginning.’
Boom! Boom!
The tentacles stretched out one by one.
[I’ve used up too much of the energy I’ve accumulated so far because of you.]
[I need to recover my body quickly so I can escape from here.]
Hearing that, Sehyuk could guess.
“Is that why you stole my predator’s flesh? To quickly recover your strength?”
[I didn’t steal it.]
[Just looking for what’s mine.]
‘That’s stealing, you little shit.’
I think so.
Wasn’t he looking for materials with magical powers to quickly repair the spaceship?
To gather energy by absorbing magic power.
[I have to get out of here.]
[You can’t be trapped here.]
[Because there are beings waiting for me.]
[Yeah, if I take your key, you can get out without energy.]
Thud. Thud.
The spaceship is hurtling towards Sehyuk.
[Be my nourishment quietly.]
The crystal cavern around the tentacle shatters into pieces and scatters into dust.
The broken external skeleton regenerates and new tentacles grow.
The spaceship is gradually regaining its shape.
Ahead is a trap of instant death.
The passage behind is blocked by stones.
Boom!
Cha Ye-seong came to his senses and threw a 1st level magic ball, but it was useless.
A blue protective shield that rises in an instant.
The magic barrier is restored too quickly.
‘A situation where you have to get close to destroy the nuke. But if you get close, you die.’
It’s a dilemma.
“Sehyuk, what should I do?”
Cha Ye-seong is turning blue.
There is no time to prepare magic.
Cha Ye-seong closes his eyes tightly.
As if waiting for death to come.
But Sehyuk just smiles faintly.
“Did you think you won?”
Sehyuk draws his sword.
The dimensional adjuster shone brightly.
Instead of the usual silver color, it emits a vivid blue light.
I have prepared it.
New Dimensional Adjuster abilities gained by absorbing the Dimensional Rift Key.
Sehyuk felt it as soon as he saw it.
If this exists, it could penetrate the spaceship’s sturdy defenses and directly cut through the core.
[‘connection’]
[Cuts space with a sword to connect to another area.]
That brief moment when the spaceship approaches.
Concentrate all your attention on the sword.
The blue magic contained in the sword illuminates the sight beyond space.
The sword shows the way.
How can I proceed to reach that space?
Just once, with a clear mind and a neat posture.
The sword advances.
The sword opens and splits the space.
As if flowers were blooming.
Through the gap, the core at the center of the spaceship is visible.
A biological core entangled with tentacle roots that encroach on the machine.
Sehyuk, who was looking at the sight, once again put his heart into the sword.
‘Perhaps this tentacle also has a story.’
An expression used to describe someone who has gained knowledge and then been treated unfairly.
Forbidden knowledge related to destruction.
A person waiting for tentacles.
The tentacles’ impatient appearance seemed to indicate that there was a reason for them to escape quickly.
‘But, my will to survive is not shaken.’
Maybe the spaceship and Sehyuk had the same goal.
Destroy the source of destruction and save someone.
However, it was the tentacles that first extended the hand of cooperation.
‘I’m sorry, but I can’t let you die here.’
Chomp!
Sehyuk’s sword energy draws silver waves.
A silvery blue glow appears in the center of the spaceship’s core.
This blow contains Sehyuk’s heart.
The tentacle’s mind was unstable and distorted, but Sehyuk’s mind was always straight.
Even if it bends and breaks flexibly.
Tsk tsk!
The tentacle’s core is split exactly in half.
[What, what is this.]
[Here like this…]
The spaceship’s tentacles turn into holograms and disappear.
The monster extends its tentacles towards Sehyuk.
Trembling as if he was squeezing out his last bit of strength.
However, the tentacles, which had already begun to disappear, could not reach Sehyuk.
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, lowered his head slightly.
“You’re not the only one who wants to survive. If you had offered cooperation from the beginning, things might have been different.”
[Is that so?]
The disappearing tentacles limply hang on the floor.
[People like you are no different from the people I have to protect.]
[I forgot that.]
It was a bitter voice.
[Thank you for waking me up, even if it was just for the last time.]
The spaceship falls apart and breaks apart.
The tentacles also slowly disappear.
[Take this.]
The tentacle used the last of its strength to pull the object out from inside itself.
Boxes of mechanical devices containing otherworldly powers.
Holographic plates that are said to contain forbidden knowledge.
[If you interpret this, it will help you survive.]
[You must defeat them.]
[May my will continue without interruption.]
Cookies and cookies!
The spaceship explodes and the tentacles completely disappear.
‘I will go to a different future from you. I will definitely show you that I will prevent destruction.’
Sehyuk watched the sight of a giant spaceship breaking apart.
* * *
Kroong!
Remove the last stone blocking the road.
“Are you okay?”
“Suddenly I heard the sound of the cave collapsing, and I was at a loss as to what to do.”
The fluffy subordinates who had been sent out put the stones on the ground and looked relieved.
“Other than being knocked unconscious, it doesn’t seem like he was hurt at all.”
“I’m so glad!”
Kim Seok-kyung, the staff member of Bokseul Bokseul, smiles brightly.
“Mr. Sehyuk, you are truly our hero.”
“Please continue to take care of me in the future!”
“okay.”
Sehyuk smiled faintly at Kim Seok-kyung and his group.
“I hope you will continue to trust me and follow me in the future.”
The battle in the dimensional rift has ended.
Now it’s time to go home.
“Go ahead and prepare to transport the wounded. I have some more work to do here.”
“Leave it to me!”
Kim Seok-kyung and his party escape the cave.
Sehyuk watched their backs and then approached the wreckage of the collapsed spaceship.
Now it’s time to look at the rewards left behind by the living giant spaceship.
The legacy of a transcendent being.
The records he left behind, and the locked box of unknown identity.
Sehyuk first looked into the locked box.
I was curious about what kind of things would come out of the technological prowess of a transcendent being.
Examine the box.
And the questions grow.
[What category of item would you like to create?]
A holographic text floats over the box.
Sehyuk laughed in vain as he read the sentence.
‘What is this? Creation? Am I understanding it correctly?’
Wow, creation.
It seems like they’ve acquired the right to use alien technology as they please.
