Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 80
Only Noblemtl
Episode 80
Sehyuk pulled the tool box from a corner of the blacksmith shop and took out an item from inside.
A scanner-shaped equipment appraisal tool left behind by an alien spaceship in a dimensional rift.
‘With this, I can accurately evaluate even equipment I don’t know about.’
I start to look closely at the items I have acquired.
First, I applied the emotion tool to the equipment I had picked up.
To be exact, a large sword that exudes the aura of legend.
My curiosity was piqued.
Because there was something I had never seen before, and it even had a powerful force.
The scanner starts to buzz and spit out the user manual for the device.
[Spine of Desolate Longing]
[Indestructible]
[Lightweight, enhanced cutting power]
[Continuously creates ice fog around the area]
[Ice Fog Reduces all speed and ice resistance of hostile targets]
[When exposed to continuous fog, hostile targets freeze]
[Side effects: causes coldness and loneliness to the user]
‘For some reason, no matter how much I hit it with the dimensional adjuster, it didn’t break. So there was an indestructible magic.’
Even if it was a legendary weapon, it was not easy to be hit by Sehyuk’s sword and not have even a single blade damaged.
It was a decent weapon.
If we look at the weapon itself.
However, there is one thing that is bothering me.
‘It’s a side effect.’
I think the previous owner of this item went crazy because of this influence to some extent.
Sehyuk was troubled.
‘Should I seal it?’
It takes a lot of mental strain to struggle to survive against the monsters lurking everywhere day after day.
In such a situation, adding an extra mental burden can be said to be quite a risky action.
In a situation like this where all materials are limited, isn’t it important to manage risk?
‘I’ll have to think about it.’
Still, there are some positive signs for this sword.
There was one more peculiar thing about the sword.
‘The magical power that flows outward is strong, but I feel like something is not liberated.’
Because I felt an unknown magical power condensed inside the long, bumpy sword.
‘Is this also a growth item?’
Growth items are inherently special.
Even if it’s not a dimension adjuster, if it’s a legend from the beginning, wouldn’t it be possible to raise it to the highest rank, ‘Only’?
‘The Dimensional Adjuster is also a holy relic, so if we have to be specific, it’s the only one that’s at the top.’
It’s on hold for now.
Sehyuk put the sword back in its scabbard and checked the other items the victims had left behind.
Most of the equipment was of a somewhat rare nature, with little magical power.
The plate armor on the chest where the letter was stuck is of a rare grade.
Armor with self-repair capabilities and a small shield built into it that automatically blocks attacks.
It was a decent income.
I just happened to need some gear to share with my colleagues.
In addition, the plate armor definitely helped to increase power.
‘Because clothes can be layered.’
In fact, until now, Go Jeong-hwan had been wearing the magic barrier chain armor made by Choi Seong-hyeon over his fairy clothes.
‘I should give the plate armor to Fixed-Hwan and the chainmail armor to Choi Sung-Hyeon.’
Plate armor is a bit more durable, and chainmail offers better mobility.
The slightly rarer grades can be sold or given to others as recognition for their service.
And now it’s time to check out the long-awaited main item.
Se-hyeok dug in between Choi Sung-hyun and Boksul Boksul, who were looking at the ‘Samsingi’ with their eyes blank.
“Wow, this is amazing!”
“I know, too.”
He receives the Samsingi from Choi Sung-hyun with a smile.
[Samsingi – Cloak of Protection]
[Samsingi – Invincible Belt (Opening)]
[Samsin-gi – Gloves of Punishment]
Opening of war.
This is a suffix that is added when you complete the special equipment potential unlocking process exclusive to the Samsinki series.
‘The Samsinki that has entered a state of war has the status of a true legend.’
The beginning was a recipe worthy of a legend, but the ending was truly legendary.
‘Liberation requires some crazy conditions, but thanks to this great success, one of them no longer needs to go through that process.’
You’ll have to go through this crazy process twice, but once is a lot of work.
I’ll reward you with such good options.
Check the items in the following order: cloak, gloves, and belt.
[*All special abilities consume magic power]
[Samsingi – Cloak of Protection]
[Available for ‘Intermediate Divine Healing’ spell]
[*’Hide’ can be applied due to the special nature of the material]
A cloak made from the hide of a ghost beast, perfect for a variety of situations.
[Samsin-gi – Gloves of Punishment]
[‘Punishment Thunderbolt’ available]
[*’Punishment Lightning’ is strengthened due to the special nature of the material]
A pair of gloves that use the shell of the Heavenly Copper Ox as decoration to make the special ability of a 5th-stage ultimate move even more powerful.
Considering that Cha Ye-seong’s explosive enhancement is at level 2, level 5 is incredibly powerful.
The last and most important is the belt that unlocks your potential.
The golden belt, which had been made with a generous use of all kinds of materials and precious metals to increase its magical conductivity, was radiating a beautiful light in Sehyuk’s hands.
[Samsingi – Invincible Belt (Opening)]
[Brilliance: When activated, blocks enemy vision and prevents stealth]
[Divine Vortex: Fixes the enemy’s vision in the direction of the caster and pulls them in]
[Invincible Protection (Opening)]
[Grant a shield of divine attribute]
[You can recover health by consuming magic power before the shield breaks]
[Immunity to all damage until the shield created by Invincible Protection is broken]
There are several phrases attached, but in summary it is simple.
Obstructs vision. Ineffective against stealth.
Forces the enemy’s sight towards me, drawing them in.
Invincible until the shield breaks.
All sorts of simple and fraudulent abilities are piled on top.
In particular, ‘Invincible Protection’ is one of the most fraudulent powers.
In a world filled with all sorts of bizarre monsters, immunity to all damage is an unparalleled survival ability.
‘It seems that even the king of the undead or the nature gods served by the fairies are not immune to all damage. They may have techniques to defend against damage in other ways.’
Even so, the survival skills of the undead king or nature god have their drawbacks.
All damage immunity is a power that blocks any harmful effect.
It can also temporarily prevent persistent damage such as poisoning and breathing difficulties.
‘When it comes to survival, immunity to all damage is the best.’
The uses are also endless.
For example, if you use invincibility on the Holy Vortex, you can incapacitate enemies without taking any damage.
One piece of equipment can completely change the course of a fight.
‘And it doesn’t end here.’
The true value of the Samsinki.
Because there are still set options left.
[Trinity Force]
[Applies when wearing all ‘Samsin-gi’]
[Available for ‘Intermediate Vitality Regeneration’ – Guardian]
[When the wearer uses the ‘Regenerate Vitality’ ability, additionally becomes immune to all damage except status effects once]
[Cat of the Temple – Punishment]
[Recover health equivalent to damage inflicted over a certain period of time]
[(Opening of War) Sanctuary Declaration – Protection]
[Set up a magic circle of the gods that seals all spells]
[All magical power of the affected people is burned]
[Cannot exit]
[Options strengthened following the liberation from the war]
Powerful options armed with all kinds of survival skills.
The most powerful of these is, of course, the declaration of a sanctuary.
‘There are many places to utilize it.’
No one can keep up with Sehyuk in swordsmanship.
This means that in close combat, there is no one who can beat Sehyuk.
To Se-hyeok like that, it means declaring a sanctuary.
It is a technique that is no different from declaring that you will be defeated overwhelmingly.
It was a satisfying production.
“I feel like my level of crafting has increased as I have personally created legendary items.”
Bokseul Bokseul and Choi Sunghyun look at the things they made and smile with satisfaction.
Even Sehyuk was impressed by it.
The three sacred symbols, emitting a golden glow, were fully displaying the power of the gods.
“Then let’s go in.”
Choi Sung-hyun and Bokseul Bokseul bow their heads to Se-hyeok.
Before I knew it, I was left alone.
I moved closer to the mansion and sat down on a bench.
The cool night air hits Sehyuk.
Sehyuk raised his head and looked around.
You can still see the broken apartments in the distance.
An apartment that was broken into pieces, with its interior and skeleton clearly visible.
It’s obvious that the paint is peeling off, and it’s leaning more severely than before, making it look precariously fragile.
But there are certainly landscapes that are different from the past.
“He is resting, so let’s not disturb him.”
Sehyuk, who has a good sense of humor, hears his newly brought in subordinates whispering.
They were voluntarily repairing the road in front of the housing complex and chatting with each other at a newly built rest area.
The empty mansion that only housed Cha Ye-seong and Go Jeong-hwan has regained some of its liveliness.
Sehyuk liked the look.
I look around quietly and become lost in thought.
Let’s look back at what has happened so far.
In the midst of all this, a phenomenon he had seen before returning came to Sehyuk’s mind.
‘By the way, the fact that Seongcheol has emerged….’
There is a kind of rule to the powerful disasters that are to come.
One of them is about prodromal symptoms.
The appearance of Sungcheol is also part of some warning symptoms.
The outlines of the disaster that will occur around here are becoming clear.
We need to think of a countermeasure.
The next day.
Early in the morning, even Choi Sung-hyun and Bokseul Bokseul, who are early risers, are still asleep.
At that time, when there was no one outside, an unexpected visitor came to Sehyuk.
“Go Jeong-hwan?”
Outside the mansion door stood Go Jeong-hwan with a worried expression.
His clothes were neat, but his face looked slightly tired.
I might have stayed up all night.
He made a hesitant expression, then spoke carefully.
“I heard it from Mr. Choi Sung-hyun.”
“What?”
“The spine of desolate longing. I plan to just keep it for the time being.”
It’s true.
Yesterday, Sehyuk had a brief discussion with Bokseul Bokseul and Choi Sunghyun about how to divide up the equipment.
In conclusion, the spine of the desolate longing was too risky, so I decided to look for ways to alleviate it.
It seemed like he had heard that.
“If you’re going to bury it anyway, I want to write it.”
Se-hyeok, who was looking at him, spoke to Go Jeong-hwan again.
Regarding the loneliness and cold that comes with weapons.
Go Jeong-hwan thought for a moment and then answered that he could overcome it.
With your own circumstances.
“I have to get stronger here.”
Sehyuk looked at Goh Jeonghwan’s face.
His face was filled with determination and desperation.
“If anything happens, I don’t mind killing you.”
The intuition of the swordsman.
In the end, Se-hyeok decided to trust Go Jeong-hwan for once.
* * *
After this, a peaceful daily life with a hint of tension passed.
I spent my time watching for signs of disaster and preparing for it.
Go Jeong-hwan and the cooking team made a proper fortification dish with the remaining ghost meat, and Choi Seong-hyeon and Bokseul Bokseul also worked hard to make equipment.
A few days passed like that.
Sehyuk woke up early in the morning like always and opened the curtains to look out the window.
A faint tap, tap sound is heard through the window.
Outside, the fog is so thick that you can’t see an inch ahead.
If you look closely at the fog, you can see something strangely moving inside that is not human.
It’s better not to look into it in detail.
Sehyuk strongly urged his colleagues not to come out outside of the designated times.
The disasters so far are just a taste.
By presenting a world where civilization has been destroyed, it is almost like asking the audience to find the answer to survival on their own.
How to survive against life-threatening monsters and adapt to a new life.
What’s going to happen from now on is real.
Gather the necessary items from inside the house.
Because I’ll have to stay outside the mansion for a while.
Sehyuk thought about what was beyond the fog.
As the disaster began, a new, shabby, and gigantic steel fortress emerged.
Conquering that fortress is the starting point for overcoming the true disaster.
If we fail to conquer, there will only be destruction.
