Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 79
Only Noblemtl
Episode 79
Focus your mind on one thing and try to recognize the black energy that you have pulled out one by one.
As one object.
When you reach awareness, the world changes.
Through Sehyuk’s imagination, all the sword energy embroidered in the air was turned into real blades.
To be precise, it is a technique that keeps the cutting force itself fixed in space, causing it to cut anyone it touches.
That’s it.
The new ability acquired by the Dimensional Adjuster, [Link], is a technique that connects space itself.
Anyone can move through the connection if they time it right.
And Sehyuk had the ability to do that.
Sehyuk’s new form disappears for a moment.
He appeared right behind the inspector’s doppelganger.
For hunting.
Gralarak!
A swordsman doppelganger who scatters his body in an attempt to escape somehow.
However, the area around him was already blocked by a bright silver wall.
Crunch!
The core of the inspector doppelganger is cut off by Sehyuk’s upward slash.
That was it.
Now, there is only one person left who can block Sehyuk.
The rest of the privates are practically non-existent.
Choke choke!
A silver sword streak cutting through the air.
The limbs of the archer and wizard are torn apart by the intersecting sword lights.
The two doppelgangers also lose their powers and return to the rock tomb.
After that, Sehyuk’s sword continues to flash.
After Sehyuk appeared, the situation changed in an instant.
In an instant, many stone doppelgangers disappeared.
Only pieces of stone remain on the broken concrete and brick floor.
A stone doppelganger in a state of limbo.
Eventually, the giant stone doppelganger began to move.
“These guys, it looks like they’re trying to run away.”
“What should I do?”
Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun, who were assisting Se-hyeok, look back at him.
The warning sign was that all the little stone doppelgangers started turning around and running away.
At the same time, the ground begins to shake.
Kookookookook!
Stone shards left behind when the stone doppelganger breaks apart.
The mountain of rubble that filled the floor trembled slightly.
The giant stone doppelganger that had been crouching raises its body from where it was stuck in the ground.
A body as big as a house.
The stone doppelganger looked like one giant rock mountain.
A yellow light flashes in the center of the pile of stones.
Staring intently at the intruders who came to visit.
Kagagak!
The bastard started spewing rocks from both ends.
The sight looked like someone was raising their arms.
At the same time, the boulders that make up the massive body begin to reassemble.
thud!
A giant stone arm touches the ground, and the stone doppelganger slowly moves as if it were raising its body.
And then, what appeared before them was…
It was a huge giant made of stone.
“It feels like I’m standing in front of a giant rideable robot.”
Choi Sung-hyun is amazed at the sight.
The appearance was like that of a rock god.
“Stop admiring and just avoid it!”
Cookies and cookies!
The giant raises his fist and strikes it in the direction Sehyuk is facing.
“Eww!”
Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun ran at full speed and escaped the place.
Sehyuk lightly flew his body and dove towards the giant.
The giant raises his fist again.
A deep hole was dug into the floor where the fist had struck.
The concrete and bricks in the center of the pit have almost turned to gravel.
The stones surrounding the pit are also split into radial pieces like a spider web.
The sight of it sends goosebumps down my entire body.
‘If it hit me there, I don’t even want to imagine it.’
Maybe if he was lucky he would have been permanently disabled.
It looks like something might have been crushed under a car wheel.
Fortunately, the giant’s speed was quite slow.
But that doesn’t mean Sehyuk has the upper hand.
‘Let’s attack once.’
Choke choke!
Countless lines drawn on the giant’s stone bridge.
Sehyuk’s sword shatters the giant’s foot.
However, the giant paid no attention to the attack.
‘This time it’s regenerative power.’
As soon as Sehyuk cuts off the leg, the stones that were cut off start to stick together again.
‘What if you target the weakness of short hair?’
Sehyuk jumps into the air.
The first and second feet are pieces of a broken building.
Using the building pieces as stepping stones, the third foot steps on a piece of stone floating next to the stone doppelganger.
Sehyuk’s new model is racing through the air.
Stepping on floating pieces of stone.
Chomp!
Sehyuk’s body rotates once in the air.
In a subsequent chain of moves, the silver sword energy cuts the giant’s heart in a precise semicircle.
After that, you will naturally land on the ground through the spatial connection of the dimensional adjuster.
“oh….”
Not only Cha Ye-seong and Choi Sung-hyun, but even the small dragon looked with admiration at the trick.
Of course, Sehyuk did not rest on their admiration.
Because things were taking a strange turn.
‘It definitely put a dent in the core.’
Despite this, the giant did not die.
The movement was a bit slow, but it quickly recovered.
It seems like we’ll have to completely split the nucleus.
‘Yes. The regenerative power is originally a single blow.’
It was a situation that was somewhat expected.
Considering the habits of stone doppelgangers.
Calmly review the situation.
‘I guess I’ll have to call my colleagues.’
Go Jeong-hwan and Han Si-hyeon were already exhausted and sent far away, but the rear support team still had some time left and stayed by Se-hyeok’s side.
Se-hyeok started talking to Choi Sung-hyun, Cha Ye-seong, and Little Dragon.
“I think you guys need to take off that guy’s skin.”
Talk about strategy.
Clearly, the power of the sword was enough to destroy the core.
However, the bastard’s stone shell regenerated and neutralized the power.
That’s why I leave the destruction of the outer shell to my colleagues.
It means that the nucleus will be destroyed through the crack in the outer shell.
“And, Choi Sung-hyun. I have something to leave to you.”
Give Choi Sung-hyun one instruction.
There is one arrangement I made before coming here.
Considering the Stone Doppelganger’s habits, there was one thing I could guess.
Gooooooo!
The giant stone doppelganger didn’t sit still either.
Raise your fist again and go where they were.
Still, it was an opportunity for Sehyuk and his group.
Because he’s sticking his head in their face.
“Aim for the head!”
Cookies and cookies!
Pieces of the apartment’s exterior wall fly into the air.
The fist sinks deep into the ground.
Taking advantage of that gap, the three join forces.
Boom!
First is Cha Ye-seong’s giant magic sphere.
A huge purple blast of magic strikes the giant.
Damn it!
The huge shell shatters and rocks fly out.
The nucleus is slightly visible through the broken face.
Above it, a plasma laser shoots out like a bolt of lightning, supporting and tearing apart the area.
It is a ray of destruction that pours out Choi Sung-hyun’s magical power.
So that the giant’s skin cannot regenerate while it is being restored.
Se-hyuk takes advantage of the gap and throws himself in.
The silver sword is drawn towards the sky again.
It felt like the world had stopped.
A single strong line.
As Sehyuk puts away his sword, a silver line explodes behind him.
Boom! Boom! Kwack! Kwack!
Rocks fall from the monster’s body.
The bastard’s upper body slumps, and he places his arms on the floor as if he is struggling.
A giant that shatters into pieces.
“Is he dead?”
Choi Sung-hyun mutters while looking at the scene.
But was this also a resurrection spell?
The giant did not stop his activities.
A powerful wave began to emanate from the bastard’s body.
A magical force that sweeps the floor.
The stone corpses of the stone doppelgangers piled on the floor disappear due to that magical power.
Sehyuk saw it clearly.
The bodies of all the Stone Doppelgangers and the escaped Stone Doppelgangers are being absorbed into the body of the giant monster.
The concrete floor was now exposed.
Above, a huge stone giant is gradually being restored to its original state.
“I’m going to die!”
The giant monster spoke clearly human language.
Sehyuk was quite embarrassed by that sight.
It’s incredible that a mere stone doppelganger has that level of intelligence.
“What should I do? My magic power is now at its lowest. Choi Sung-hyun also shot the laser, so he probably has no magic power either.”
Cha Ye-seong bites her lips slightly.
But Sehyuk didn’t care.
‘It was as I expected.’
Chomp!
Sehyuk’s simple horizontal slash cuts through the giant’s restoring outer skin.
Phage crackle!
And above that is covered by a plasma laser.
A thunderbolt of destruction pours down on the giant, destroying and melting everything it touches.
The magical power of that pulverization instantly shattered the giant’s core, which was being restored.
Naturally, Choi Sung-hyun was standing next to Se-hyeok holding a prism laser.
“What? Wasn’t the annihilation ray something that Choi Sung-hyun had to pour all his magical power into?”
“It’s simple.”
Sehyuk smiled brightly.
“I knew this would happen, so I made sure that Choi Sunghyun would receive the World Tree’s blessing instead of me. My magical power is more powerful than yours.”
The World Tree’s magic power recovery and object charging function have been used to recharge the Prism Laser.
Oh, oh my!
The giant’s body collapses helplessly.
As if turning to dust and disappearing.
The stone giant was completely scattered and turned into a mountain of sand, and even that disappeared as if blown away by the wind.
In its place, only the shiny metals growing from the ground and the metal equipment used by the stone doppelgangers were shining.
Only what the stone doppelganger left behind.
Now it’s time to pack up what’s left behind.
* * *
“Hiya! You finally defeated that monster.”
Boksulboksul, who came after Sehyuk’s call, looks around the broken apartment complex and admires it.
Now, next to Sehyuk were Bokseul Bokseul and a few laborers.
He was called to mine the Seongcheol in the Stone Doppelganger’s habitat.
“Okay, let’s get started right away!”
Bang! Bang!
The laborers grab their pickaxes and begin to dig out the iron ore.
Lumps of iron being loaded one by one onto a transport truck.
Sehyuk, who was looking at that sight, turned his gaze elsewhere.
A pile of equipment used by victims of the Stone Doppelganger.
Sehyuk brought a cart and packed the items.
Meanwhile, Sehyuk found a peculiar item among the equipment.
A piece of paper and a notebook were tucked inside the armor.
Sehyuk picked them up.
‘Is this a photo and a diary?’
A photo printed by a photo shop that could be seen everywhere on the streets before the destruction.
The photo showed a man and a woman wearing sunglasses and heart headbands smiling together.
The notebook in the brown leather cover also appeared to be an exchange diary.
Because in the first part, it was written with different handwritings and people exchanging diaries.
‘I guess the two were lovers.’
[I got off work late today, so I went home alone and felt lonely. Let’s definitely have dinner together tomorrow.]
Because the content was written like this.
‘I’m not particularly interested in other people’s love stories.’
Sehyuk was flipping through his notes and about to close them while thinking about that, when he saw something peculiar.
Sehyuk started reading the diary again.
The latter half of the diary was completely different from the first half, and was written by just one person.
And Sehyuk read again the part he had seen.
[I saw our Yunyun at the 4th complex apartment. When I told this to the captain, he said that he also met the grandmother who raised him at the 4th complex. That’s good. If you go there, if you go, if you go.]
The writing became increasingly crooked as it went on, and eventually became a mess and unreadable.
Even without looking into it, you can tell what kind of ending this group met.
‘Is this a hallucination? Or have we collectively gone mad?’
I don’t know what the inside story was, but longing is definitely a feeling that can drive people crazy.
It’s a shame.
Sehyuk put the photo in a notebook and put it in the bag he brought.
After that, time passed.
As soon as they returned, Bokseul Bokseul and Choi Sunghyun devoted themselves to making equipment.
Sehyuk finished the battle and took a rest, watching the work from the side.
Cheeeeeee!
When the iron was melted in the furnace, a white solution that glowed a very light golden color was created.
At the same time, Choi Sung-hyun takes out several molds from inside the recipe hologram box.
Born from an unknown printing technology from another world.
I poured the solution into the formwork and manipulated it here and there, and the formwork cooled down quickly.
‘I really can’t understand the technology of the other world.’
As the iron has hardened in the mold and taken on a certain shape, the mold is formed by alternating between pickling and hammering.
At this stage, we combine several pieces.
“It’s almost done!”
Before I knew it, I had three pretty decent looking objects completed.
Finally, the two are glued together to finish the nearly finished metal part using chisels, cutters, and sandpaper.
The moment when the thing Sehyuk knew took on the form he had been looking for.
Pfft!
There was a flash of light.
“What a surprise!”
Bokseul Bokseul and Choi Sunghyun were surprised, but soon came to their senses and laughed.
“Isn’t this a huge production success?”
It seems that the Samsinki series I created this time will be more powerful than expected.
And as he predicted, the ‘great success’ of the Samsinki series is on a different level from the great success of other equipment.
‘I wish I had that ability I knew about.’
Besides, the joy doesn’t end there.
Because Sehyuk hasn’t checked the equipment left behind by the victims of the Stone Doppelganger yet.
Among them, there is also a legendary sword that contains the magic of cold air.
4 unscratched, guaranteed winning tickets.
Sehyuk quickly started looking through the items.
