Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 77
Only Noblemtl
Episode 77
Thud. Thud.
Four people fall from the body of the stone doppelganger.
Four half-rotted corpses with white skeletons visible.
Then, several stone doppelgangers begin to attach themselves to the bodies of the corpses.
The stone doppelganger takes shape.
With a slight creaking sound.
Four corpses rise up.
With a rock body that mimics the appearance of the living.
And they picked up the equipment that had fallen on the floor.
Equipment that the host would have used during his lifetime.
A warrior wielding a long, heavy sword.
An archer who combines a bow with a spear to sling huge stone spears.
A wizard who manipulates the earth.
Even an assassin who can manipulate numerous rock blades.
At the same time, the small stone doppelgangers released by the giant stone doppelganger begin to transform all at once.
A humanoid entity, similar to the four main entities.
The surprises didn’t end there.
Boom! Boom!
The ordinary stone doppelgangers that had been transformed into humans began to line up with the four captains and stand in front of them.
As if it had intelligence.
Their appearance was like an army made of stone.
‘It’s difficult.’
This apartment complex was like a fortress already occupied by an army of stone doppelgangers.
You can only get it by defeating this army.
A special item that transcends specialness.
After finishing his exploration, Sehyuk slowly returned to his base.
Because I didn’t think I could do it alone.
‘The stone doppelgangers that ate corpses and transformed, they look incredibly strong at first glance.’
The strength of a Stone Doppelganger is similar to that of the being it has transformed into and its own strength.
‘If they had come to catch a mutant stone doppelganger of that size, the humans who became its hosts must have been confident in their abilities.’
So, the stone doppelgangers would have grown to almost an evolved level.
Because the more they imitate others and survive against stronger opponents, the stronger they become.
‘Those four stone doppelgangers themselves also look like they’re on the verge of mutation, perhaps because they’ve been eating corpses.’
Sehyuk arrives home.
He sat down on a nearby bench and sighed deeply.
‘A transforming army, and even giant monsters. It’s incredible.’
Stone Doppelganger is a monster that becomes more difficult to deal with as it gets stronger.
As you get stronger, you will be able to transform into more monsters to fight you.
If you don’t know all those strategies, you can’t catch him.
‘Before this, there were only normal objects, so it was easy to sweep them away, but this time, the difficulty is on a whole other level.’
A large elite entity, with an overwhelming majority of normal entities under the command of four entities just before the elite.
All of those monsters have some level of intelligence.
It’s like taking on a mobile fortress and an army all by yourself.
‘How should I deal with it?’
If you bring too many people, you may suffer damage in return.
Because the new members aren’t strong yet.
Se-hyeok, who had been worrying, eventually brought Han Si-hyeon, Cha Ye-seong, Go Jeong-hwan, and Choi Seong-hyeon.
“What’s going on?”
Cha Ye-seong, holding a small dragon in her arms and her face red from drinking, comes running out in a hurry.
As if he had washed his face, water was dripping down his face.
Other people are also wondering.
Except for Choi Sung-hyun.
“I see you saw it.”
“okay.”
Choi Sung-hyun makes a gloomy expression.
“What did you see that made you do that?”
Han Si-hyeon with a slightly sad expression.
Her pained face hardened as Sehyuk’s story progressed.
“What are the five of us going to do with such a monster?”
“Because there is a way for everything.”
ha.
Han Si-Hyeon lets out a deep sigh.
“Yeah. I don’t know what will happen.”
Han Si-hyeon took the lead and started walking slowly.
“Why on earth do other people do such dangerous things without saying a word?”
Han Si-hyeon continues to grumble, but heads towards her destination.
“I believe you. Sehyuk, there’s a way for everything.”
In contrast, Cha Ye-seong smiles at Se-hyeok with her eyes wide like crescent moons and her fierce face.
“me too.”
“I will help you.”
They are followed by Go Jeong-hwan and Choi Seong-hyeon.
Walk along the forest path and arrive at the hill.
On the hill where Sehyuk was looking down at the stone doppelgangers earlier.
Sehyuk looked back at Han Sihyeon.
“I told you, what should I do?”
“okay.”
Han Si-hyeon still has a pained expression on her face.
However, Han Si-Hyeon started gathering magical power in his hands without saying a word.
Han Si-hyeon also knows that it is something only she can do.
That was also the reason why Sehyuk called Han Sihyeon, who had suffered for several days.
Han Si-Hyeon powerfully strikes the ground.
The green natural magic spreads through the ground like roots and nets.
Fine green spheres float in the air, and the energy of life spreads out like fog.
Among the green magic that wraps the earth like a net, sprouts begin to emerge.
Vines rise up through the gaps between the rocks and concrete of the forest, weaving together to form the shape of trees.
A vine that turns brown and resembles a real tree.
Within the vines, the bodies of tree spirits with arms and legs begin to emerge.
Infantry tree spirit with vine spear and shield.
A rear-support tree spirit holding a vine staff and a spear.
It is truly an army of nature.
“Charge!”
Han Si-Hyeon stretches out her arms.
Following that hand, the tree spirits begin to move.
Tree spirits pour down from the forest on the hill.
Towards the apartment complex where the stone doppelganger is.
The stone doppelgangers also saw the sight, raised their weapons and began to take stances.
Shield clashes with shield.
Tree spirits throw vine spears, and rock shooters hurl sharp rocks.
A humanoid stone doppelganger bursts out of the vine window.
thud!
The sound of the tree spirits hitting the ground simultaneously spreads out like a chorus.
Huge, thorny tree roots sprouting from the ground.
A number of stone doppelgangers are impaled like skewers.
“Han Si-Hyeon. This is all thanks to you.”
If it weren’t for Han Si-Hyeon, we would never have been able to deal with these legions.
It was with these points in mind that I brought Han Si-Hyeon.
But the stone doppelgangers are no slouch either.
Charararak.
The broken stones are put back together again.
Some stone doppelgangers are restored to their original state.
Gooooooo!
The giant stone doppelganger that had stopped howls, and new stone doppelgangers pour down.
As if trying to fill in dead numbers.
Wood crunch!
The doppelgangers also destroy the tree spirits just as much.
Strike the tree spirits again and again with stone weapons.
They are constantly moving towards each other.
“It’s not easy.”
Cha Ye-seong swallowed with a nervous expression.
The gaze remains fixed on that large-scale battle.
The front lines are fluctuating up and down, but it’s still a close fight.
“Yeah. It’s half and half.”
By the laws of nature, dirt and rocks cannot cause much damage to trees.
But the numbers are better on their side.
Because the giant stone doppelganger chose to stand still and continuously pick off the stone armies.
‘Even though Han Si-Hyeon is still growing, I’ll hold on. However, time is on their side.’
Because if the number increases, eventually we will be pushed out.
Have you realized that?
“Coming!”
The four captains took action.
The four charge at Han Si-Hyeon while scattering eerie magic power.
“ah?”
Han Si-hyeon freezes with a blank expression.
The moment one of the many daggers of the assassin leader entity was about to fall on Han Si-Hyeon’s head.
visor!
Two silver lines that decorate the air.
The two pieces of the dagger fall down the hill, their light lost.
“That’s impossible.”
Before he knew it, Se-hyeok was standing in front of Han Si-hyeon.
Sehyuk takes a stance by spinning his sword once.
“Is it okay to deal with those guys?”
After that, colleagues come forward.
“Okay. Move like I said.”
The group splits up and each charges at one of the four leader entities.
The archers and magicians preparing to strike from behind were confronted by Choi Sung-hyun, Cha Ye-seong, and the little dragon.
The archer’s heavy foot flies in with a crashing sound.
The wizard’s rain of stones splits the sky.
All of those attacks are shot down by the combined attacks of the three.
A giant stone arrow explodes in the air as a gunpowder bomb shot by Choi Sung-hyun.
A rain of stones crashes into the defensive barriers created by dragons and humans, creating countless ripples.
The prosecutor, who has a cold attitude, is blocked by Go Jeong-hwan and Han Si-hyeon.
Kaga River!
The large sword of Go Jeong-hwan and the attitude emitting blue light meet.
“Ugh!”
Go Jeong-hwan grits his teeth.
I felt it intuitively.
That this monster was one step ahead of him.
That’s right.
The fixed ring is slightly pushed back.
It’s not that he’s weak.
The second strongest member of the group of monsters that surpassed the Stone Doppelganger.
That guy just came at me with a legendary sword.
Go Jeong-hwan sensed that he could no longer hold out, so he put away his sword and stepped back.
In the meantime, two of Han Si-Hyeon’s vines stretch out and tie up the prosecutor’s legs.
“Since we’re the ones blocking it anyway, let’s just do it moderately and get out!”
Han Si-hyeon grabs her head and shouts.
Sugagak!
A test that is lightly pulled out like pulling out a vine.
Before Han Si-Hyeon can recreate the vines, the inspector moves towards her.
In front of him, Go Jeong-hwan, who is breathing heavily once again, blocks the way.
“If you do it in moderation, it’s unstoppable!”
It’s a pre-agreed strategy.
This inspector is a monster that no one but Sehyuk can catch.
With the ability of the two, it is to tie them together as much as possible.
Until Sehyuk comes.
And then, Sehyuk stood before the assassin.
Neither the assassin nor the warrior can be caught by the rest of the people.
‘That’s why I chose an assassin.’
Because we can catch assassins faster than inspectors.
The eyeless face of the assassin’s doppelganger turns towards Sehyuk.
Chaechang!
The moment our eyes met.
In that brief moment, the assassin swings his dagger, aiming to interrupt Sehyuk’s actions.
He responds by striking the back of his sword against the dagger blade.
When the dagger blade stops, he quickly snaps his sword and cuts off the bastard’s wrist.
An assassin’s wrist being cut off while holding a dagger.
However, the bastard turned the knife in his left hand with practiced precision and swung it at Sehyuk while simultaneously restoring his right hand.
‘Knife fighting.’
It seems that the owner of the body this thing devoured was someone who had previously handled a dagger.
A few more sword strikes.
A blade that flies towards various parts of Sehyuk at a rapid speed, drawing a curve.
But Sehyuk took all of those attacks, and at the same time, he thrust his sword through those large movements.
The assassin’s limbs are cut off in an instant.
Did he have an intuition that things couldn’t go on like this?
Eventually, the bastard started taking a different approach.
Sehyuk’s sword aimed precisely at the bastard’s forehead while simultaneously striking away the dagger in his right hand.
The sword instantly transformed the bastard into a mouse and dodged the attack.
Then, the bastard transformed into a mouse and started throwing the remaining parts of his body into sharp stone weapons.
‘this.’
Super close range.
Most people would have died from being hit all over their body with dark energy, unable to react to such an anomalous attack.
But Sehyuk is different.
‘This is why I dealt with this guy.’
Sehyuk took up his sword with a bitter smile on his lips.
