Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 83
Only Noblemtl
Episode 83
Sehyuk decided to stop the man who was making foolish remarks and making the crowd feel uneasy.
Even if it means embarrassing me.
“hey.”
Sehyuk walked towards the man and drew his sword.
“So let’s say you’re the leader. Do you think you’ll be able to protect others?”
His eyes are filled with life, and his sword contains the countless experiences he has accumulated over the years.
Just one swing.
But there is no hesitation.
months!
The tip of the Dimensional Adjuster’s sword shoots towards the man.
“Three, Sehyuk!”
People around him reach out to Sehyuk, but he has no courage to approach him.
They feel it too.
If you approach now, you might die.
Han Si-hyeon felt it.
My hair stands on end and my skin feels prickly as if someone is poking me with needles.
‘He really is an amazing person.’
Death seems to be right before my eyes.
My body was stiff and I couldn’t even move properly.
My head is empty and I can’t think of anything.
Han Si-Hyeon survived seeing her parents brutally killed by the vengeful monsters of the forest.
If even Han Si-Hyeon can make you feel this way, what would it be like for someone who is directly hit by that sword?
A sword that stops exactly before the man’s neck.
“Ugh, euaaaah!”
Kkudangtang!
A man who was so confident that he seemed like he could do anything.
He ended up collapsing on the floor in an awkward manner.
Revealing his damp pants between his crotch.
“Is that wet underneath?”
“eww….”
Not only his enemies, but even those who followed him and tried to follow him frowned at the sight.
Sehyuk looked at the man lying on the floor with a shocked expression on his face.
‘So you should have just made a little fuss and left.’
It’s all something that you brought upon yourself.
Sehyuk didn’t intend to do it to this extent.
“Democracy is good. However, before democracy, the state exists to protect its members.”
Society is something that comes from the power to resolve conflicts and exists to protect and benefit its members.
Fundamentally, leaders have a duty to protect their people.
Sehyuk is only assuming the role of a person in power to protect the members.
To live like a human being.
If there is a better leader out there, maybe I can give him the job.
If it exists.
But that’s not that guy.
Never.
“Democracy and the separation of powers are fundamentally just ways to protect the constituents. But, can you do that?”
Sehyuk looked down at the man rolling on the floor with a pitiful expression.
“What kind of leader is someone who can’t even protect himself?”
At those words, public opinion shifts towards Sehyuk.
At the very least, it proves that the person making that claim is not very trustworthy.
Meanwhile, the humiliated man blushed and covered his head.
“No… no!”
A man who suddenly gets up.
As soon as he got up, he tried to run past Sehyuk.
Inside the steel fortress where monsters lurk.
As expected from someone who exercises a lot, it was a pretty fast pace.
But, to Sehyuk, he is no different from a turtle.
“What are you doing? It’s dangerous!”
widely!
Sehyuk grabbed the arm of the man who was running lightly and pulled him towards him.
The man has a look of despair on his face.
Skill. Reaction speed.
I have just realized that Sehyuk has the upper hand in every way.
And the action the man took was to grab Sehyuk’s collar and hang on.
“Get out of the way! I can prove it too! I’m much stronger than anyone here!”
A man shivering.
It was a face stained with fear, despair, and misery.
There is a saying that what a person says when he is in an extreme situation best reveals his true feelings.
What the man said was his own proof, his superiority.
Sehyuk felt a little disappointed as he heard the story.
Because it felt like the man wanted to be in a leadership position only for his own glory and satisfaction.
To be precise, to prove that one is superior to others.
“You won’t regret it, will you? Think calmly.”
“That can’t be true! I, I may be weaker than you, but I’m not someone who deserves to be ignored like this!”
After saying that, the man shook off Sehyuk’s hand with his supernatural strength and ran away.
“Don’t chase me!”
Until he looked back and gave a rebuke.
Sehyuk looked at her back from afar.
I had nothing to say.
I knew how you felt, but I didn’t want to hold on to it.
A person who hangs himself in the gaze of others.
Even if I catch that person, he’ll definitely go somewhere else as he pleases.
‘People who have only walked the road to success tend to be more shocked when they experience failure.’
The man clearly looked like he had thorough self-management and was somewhat capable of dealing with people.
‘It seems likely that up until now, I have only received the affection, attention, and following of others.’
A life that is always the object of envy for someone.
The more such a person is, the harder it is for him to endure being pushed to the bottom.
That time when people are calming down to some extent and making up their minds.
Sehyuk slowly walked into the fortress.
To conduct an internal investigation and to find that man named Yeongbin from earlier.
And Se-hyeok found Yeong-bin dead, stuck in a crack in the wall of the first floor of the fortress that had been caved in with steel crystals.
Those who seek the value of life from others are inevitably destined to be shaken.
The world is always changing because the hearts of the people who make up the world are constantly changing.
It’s a shame.
* * *
Things calm down and people surrender.
Of course, I won’t follow Sehyuk wholeheartedly, but that doesn’t matter.
I’m confident I can handle them even if they all rush in anyway.
Just prepare for the raid.
The point of this conversation is to bring more capable people into the fold, anyway.
And, Sehyuk also had his own way of gaining these people’s trust.
After everything was sorted out to some extent, Sehyuk began to tell his stories slowly, one by one.
“The situation will get worse. Such disasters will occur periodically in the future.”
“So for the time being, we need to stick together. If we all work together, our chances of survival will increase.”
In short, the story is that this disaster will be solved by occupying this fortress.
Meanwhile, people who still look anxious raise their hands.
“How do you prove that?”
“That’s a good question. The answer is simple.”
Anxiety for some.
But for Sehyuk, it was a good opportunity.
It was as if the stage was set for showing trust.
Sehyuk looked back.
“Because we have a prophet.”
Sehyuk and his party’s universal cheat key.
Cha Ye-seong approaches slowly and quickly.
“You’re a physical education teacher, right? It’s been about 6 years since you were posted. Your first posting was in Suwon.”
Cha Ye-seong points out the person who asked how to prove it.
“Uh, how?”
At those words, the person who asked the question opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Cha Ye-seong smiled faintly.
“Because he is a prophet.”
After that, the guessing of Cha Ye-seong’s past continued.
For example, the smart-looking man with glasses who was on Se-hyeok’s side was surprisingly a venture company manager who dreams of starting a business.
The man named Yeong-bin, who seemed tall and handsome, was actually a college student and SNS influencer.
The story goes on.
“If it’s this magical, I can’t help but believe it.”
“Do you know how to use things like talismans?”
It seemed like everyone had some level of trust in Sehyuk and his group’s information power.
“Do you all agree to follow my will?”
There is no specific objection.
That’s why Sehyuk brought up one more story.
Especially those who won’t listen.
A group of people who followed a man named Yeongbin.
Shouldn’t we properly dispose of those unbelievable guys who attacked first?
“I have no intention of killing you. I will protect you, but I will impose a penalty.”
“Wh, what!”
“Isn’t that obvious? You can’t treat untrustworthy people on the same level as you, right?”
Equipment confiscation.
Always take the lead.
You will not be able to participate in future distribution of items.
“Do something good and I’ll give you a reduced sentence.”
They are dangerous elements that we must watch out for in the future, so we must make them lose their fighting power.
There were people who questioned him, but Sehyuk responded lightly.
“Be thankful that I didn’t kill you.”
“And if it weren’t for me, you would all be dead.”
At those words, those who had not joined Sehyuk kept their mouths shut.
“I don’t have any particular ill feelings toward you. However, a group needs rules to function. You are an example of that.”
Could it be because they were easily deceived?
Their faces still showed their discontent, but they said nothing else.
“Still, if you do something, you’ll definitely be rewarded. That’s the rule.”
If you whip them, you get a carrot too.
Because what we need is reliable power rather than immediate supplies.
You can’t get cooperation by just squeezing too much.
And materials are the simplest reward for turning people’s minds.
“We have more colleagues elsewhere, and we made this stuff ourselves.”
As he said that, Sehyuk waved the gloves from the Samshinki series.
“It means that if you achieve great things, you too can have these things.”
At those words, the eyes of the people who had been murmuring slightly light up.
The atmosphere calms down to some extent.
For the time being, it looks like they will cooperate, even if it is forced.
Because those people also have to live right now.
Even if you don’t like Sehyuk, at least it’s clear that he’s a leader who can save many people.
I think we’re almost ready to enter the fortress now.
‘But before that, there’s something I need to find out.’
Cha Ye-seong still has a troubled expression.
Se-hyeok poked Cha Ye-seong like that.
“I’ll go explore the area ahead for a bit. Cha Ye-seong, follow me.”
Cha Ye-seong looks up at Se-hyeok with a troubled expression and nods.
“Han Si-Hyeon. Please.”
“Yeah. The bad stuff is my fault.”
Han Si-hyeon, who was looking after the patients who were complaining, grumbles as she gets up from her seat.
Tree soldiers grow from underground.
Break!
A wooden soldier performs a performance of exploding iron with one hand.
“crazy….”
The people around him were astonished at the sight.
Han Si-hyeon answers calmly.
“Don’t try to do anything, just listen to what I say. Otherwise, this steel will become your head.”
Leaving Han Si-hyeon behind, Se-hyeok took Cha Ye-seong and headed inside the fortress.
The first floor of the fortress looked like an abandoned house encroached by steel.
Gray-white steel stalactites and stalagmites growing through the ceiling, walls and floor.
The slightly shiny, growing steel slowly devoured the furniture, running along the broken bed legs and the top of the piano.
As if digesting something.
After destroying several moving chairs and tableware monsters with steel crystals sprouting out of them, Se-hyeok looked back at Cha Ye-seong.
“What was your relationship with that woman earlier?”
“ah….”
Cha Ye-seong stroked the small dragon curled up in his bag and took a tumbler out of his bag and drank from it.
The contents were clearly alcohol.
Although I’ve been pretty reserved lately, I guess it might be hard to talk without alcohol these days.
“Like most things, it’s not a happy story. When I was very young, I was falsely accused of something.”
The rest of the story was pretty predictable.
At that young age, when they are in elementary or middle school, how much judgment do they have to discern the truth?
In addition, the simplicity and selfishness that are characteristic of children inevitably hurt the victims.
“My friends believed the rumors and distanced themselves from me. They also talked behind my back a lot. Thanks to that, I was mostly alone until I was in high school.”
The woman I met earlier seems to have been one of them.
“But I won’t let it interfere with the fight, you know that.”
Cha Ye-seong stopped talking here and seemed like she didn’t want to say anything more.
Se-hyeok, of course, noticed that there was something that Cha Ye-seong had not said yet.
‘I feel like there’s something more.’
But Cha Ye-seong was firm, and Se-hyeok didn’t want to touch it.
Because I know that when a person who has been hurt brings up their hurt story, it is like reopening the wound.
“Okay. For now, let’s focus on conquering the fortress.”
The moment I turned around to go back.
Dddddddddd!
Suddenly the fortress began to vibrate.
At the same time, the steel attached to the wall begins to grow at a rapid rate.
That too, had a slightly different shape.
Whereas it had usually been a smooth sheen, now it was growing into a mineral that emitted a mind-boggling fluorescent color.
I tried to swing my sword, but I couldn’t.
Firstly, the space is narrow and unfavorable for fighting.
Secondly, I was curious about the monster that caused the phenomenon before my eyes.
[Human. Let’s talk.]
The glowing steel growing from the wall slowly takes the shape of a perfect sphere, and the sphere sends out telepathy.
That too, using the language system that humans possess.
‘Surely, there was no such thing in the information before the regression.’
Typically, intelligent monsters are powerful.
There, since it is a being that did not exist before the regression, it is highly likely that it gained power due to some variable.
And the monster’s power was immediately proven.
[I am the center and god of this fortress. I have a proposition for you.]
Because the monster in the fortress suddenly spoke to me and introduced itself as the ruler of this fortress.
