Regression Sword Apocalypse Reconquest - Chapter 97

Episode 97

When I checked the paper that Choi Sung-hyun had drawn up for the renovation plan, I found that it contained simple design guidelines and a list of necessary materials.

The first part is modifying the vehicle’s shelter.

The second part is equipped with flight functions for emergency situations.

Start reading slowly.

First, modify the vehicle’s shelter.

Shelter modification is more like combining several lower level magics to create a combination of specific characteristics.

Because it implements various functions of a shelter into one car.

And this modification is divided into two options.

A method of very strongly reinforcing the body of a camper van with sleeping facilities.

Basically, there are two ways to make a jeep with some defensive capabilities by adding some appropriate defensive equipment, expanding the space, and adding various convenient facilities to make it more comfortable to stay in.

‘But right now, I have no choice. I can’t get a camper van yet, so I have to go with a jeep.’

Choi Sung-hyun also knew that, and wrote down only the magic related to modifying jeeps.

Jeep modifications are a combination of convenience-oriented magic.

Both modifications are basically the same in that they give the car the [Horsepower Circuit] and [Space Expansion] characteristics.

The Jeep must be enchanted with [Create Flame], [Create Water], and [Create Cold] magic at each point where the magic circuit is connected here.

These are magics for the furnace and production facilities, water supply and cleanliness, and food storage, respectively.

Next, to create a booster that can hover in times of emergency, simply add a new device to the engine section, modify it, and grant it the [Flight] magic.

And the bottom line is this.

“It contains the power of each attribute, and requires any material that can be made into powder form.”

Sehyuk read the last part of the paper out loud.

These materials are catalysts needed to consistently activate each attribute magic.

It is said that other things can be implemented sufficiently with materials and machine parts collected over time.

“Yes. To summarize, regardless of type, you need materials with fire, water, ice, wind, and gravity attributes.”

“That’s quite a lot. Isn’t it difficult? Where do you find all this?”

Next to him, Cha Ye-seong makes a small, worried expression.

“no.”

The four round eyes of Cha Ye-seong and a small dragon pour out to Se-hyeok, who is stroking his chin.

“I have a place in mind. A place where you can get all of this in one go.”

“Where is it?”

“Chungcheong-do mountain valley.”

I’ve talked about this before.

Chungcheong Province is said to be the land of giant beasts.

That’s because Chungcheong Province is a land that has been eroded by hostile natural forces.

Destruction began, and Chungcheong Province began to be covered with trees and grass, corroding iron and erasing the remnants of civilization.

Therefore, the people living in Chungcheong Province protected the remnants of civilization that were essential by holding back the incoming army of trees as much as possible, while at the same time, most of them adopted a lifestyle similar to that of a primitive civilization.

Similar to the Joseon Dynasty.

That is the situation in Chungcheong Province before the return that Sehyuk knew.

The assessment before the return was that it was fortunate that it was not like Paju, where everyone disappeared without a trace, or like Seoul, where there was a periodic blackout and communication equipment outage accompanied by a solar eclipse.

At least Chungcheong Province was able to communicate with the outside world.

If there is a term called natural apocalypse, this is exactly what it feels like.

The beasts within have undergone a kind of overgrowth and have become mutated monsters.

Originally a place surrounded only by land, it has now become an area with the most dense and secretive forests and mountains in Korea.

And, as there has been such harsh natural erosion, there are named monsters here that have been given attributes.

These are also monsters that were quite famous before their return.

You’ll know why it’s famous when you go there.

They are the ones who faithfully recreate the fear caused by monsters in the form of beasts.

‘Our location is Gyeonggi-do, close to Chungcheong-do. It’s worth going.’

It’s a bit far, but it’s near the highway, so you can just take the highway.

“Get ready and go right away.”

I’m going out on my motorcycle today too.

Motorcycles are great because they allow you to take a detour if a bridge collapses or a road is blocked by a landslide.

Because you can just lift the motorcycle and move it.

Today’s members are Choi Sung-hyun, Han Si-hyun, and Little Dragon.

This is also a reasonable selection of personnel.

We drive straight on the highway, enter Chungcheong Province, and then drive on the old highway for a long time.

After a long run, night came.

Buaaaang! Sehyuk, who was driving on the highway, found a tunnel and turned around to park his motorcycle.

This tunnel is the landmark that indicates our destination.

As Sehyuk stops, Choi Sunghyun, who was riding another motorcycle, stops his motorcycle.

“Are you here?”

“Okay. Han Si-Hyeon, cover these motorcycles with your grass. At least the grass in this area won’t try to encroach on the same plants.”

“joy.”

Although he crossed his arms with a disgruntled expression, Han Si-hyeon immediately made grass and moss grow from the ground, completely covering the motorcycle.

After carefully examining the motorcycle.

Sehyuk looked towards the mountain above the tunnel.

Looking at the road above it.

We climb the mountain together.

And the group discovered a strange phenomenon inside the forest.

A section where large, light green vines form a wall, preventing passage.

If you look closely, you can see that it’s clinging to the cliff, making it completely impossible to see what’s beyond.

“So, should I just open this?”

“As expected, it’s Han Si-hyeon. She knows everything even without me saying it.”

As he said that, Sehyuk glanced at Choi Sunghyun.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“no.”

“You always make dad jokes without any sense, ugh. No.”

Han Si-Hyeon looked at the two of them pitifully and then put her hand on the vine wall.

Green light spreads out, vines slowly disappear to the left and right, and a path opens up.

Climb the mountain path behind the vine wall.

As they walked slowly up the mountain path, the group discovered a village.

“It’s like… .”

“It’s like the Joseon Dynasty.”

A mountain path at night.

A little way down the road, there is a row of thatched-roof houses.

A town that reminds you of a scene from a historical drama.

But there was something strange about that town.

“It’s so dreary. I can’t see a single person.”

As Choi Seong-hyeon said, this village has no traces of humans whatsoever.

There are no lights on in any of the houses.

‘I hope it’s not too late.’

“First, just go into any place.”

With that thought in mind, Sehyuk stepped onto the porch of the nearest thatched house and opened the paper door.

Squeak-

The door opens with the distinctive creaking sound of its hinges.

At the same time, a person jumped out of the closet.

“fizzle!”

A man dressed in tattered clothes made of rags and straw covers the mouth of Se-hyeok, who is shivering and hastily taking the lead.

The man, who had been looking around Sehyuk and his group with his head raised as if he was afraid of something, fidgeted and pulled Sehyuk closer.

It’s a small, whispering voice.

“Stop making noise and come in quickly! Please!”

As Sehyuk and his group all enter the room, the man carefully closes the door.

“Lean against the wall and make sure no one can see you. If you don’t want to die. Please.”

After hiding my body as the man said.

Sehyuk asked the man, who was trembling with anxiety, cautiously.

“Is it because of the monsters that you’re doing this now?”

“Okay. If there’s anything I’m curious about, I’ll tell you everything. Let’s talk on paper.”

As Sehyuk wrote down his questions, the man began to write down his explanation.

[You may have seen a wall of vines.]

[The area inside those vines is the area of ​​terrible monsters.]

The man said that it was because of this that they were living in hiding at night like dead mice.

So as not to get caught by those monsters and die.

[Nowadays, we always walk outside in groups of 5 or more for fear of being caught.]

Even as he writes those words, the man continues to look outside with an anxious look.

I wonder if a monster will appear.

Choi Sung-hyun, who was listening to the explanation of the situation, interrupts and writes down a question.

[Why didn’t you escape from here?]

[All those who tried to escape were killed by them.]

Sehyuk felt strength entering the hand of the man holding the pen.

[They seem to think of this place as a feeding ground.]

[It’s a pity.]

The man writes down the death description again.

[We are barely holding on now thanks to the treasure the village chief has.]

[What treasure is it?]

[It’s called the ‘Stone of Hide’. It’s a treasure that becomes invisible and undetectable unless recognized by sound or movement.]

[How did the village chief get it from a giant bird monster?]

As he wrote down the man’s explanation, Sehyuk remembered one piece of information from before his regression.

‘Yes. The monsters in this area can only be encountered if you meet different conditions. You need this treasure to catch the last one, the falcon.’

The general order is set.

The final stage of this journey ends with you receiving the treasure from the village chief and killing each monster.

Other monsters can be summoned by using the items Sehyuk has prepared and by completing requests from the townspeople.

‘This is also a matter of solving various problems and ultimately dealing with the monster that is the leader of this place.’

‘Once the sun rises, I should go to the village chief’s house first.’

With that thought, Sehyuk started writing on paper again.

To make the plan come true.

[Fortunately, we arrived on time.]

[We are here to catch the monsters.]

The man’s eyes open slightly.

[When the sun rises, can you take me to the village chief?]

[But you are outsiders…]

[Now that we’re here, we can’t just leave here. We need to find a solution.]

The man who had been looking at Sehyuk and his group with anxious eyes eventually lowered his head as if he could no longer handle it.

[Okay, I’ll do that for now.]

As the day dawned, Se-hyeok followed the man wearing a rag to the village chief’s house.

It was the largest thatched house in the village.

However, the side part that looked like a warehouse was broken and not repaired.

A man stands in front of a thatched-roof house wall and shouts inside.

“Chief! Strangers have come!”

“Come in!”

Something, probably an iron gate, is rolling around next to the wall, all dented and crushed.

Sehyuk dodged the piece of iron and stepped inside.

As expected, a skinny old man wearing a turban was sitting on the floor, smoking a cigarette, and looking at them.

Sehyuk was quite impressed by this village chief.

Although skinny, he is quite fit and, above all, his eyes still sparkle.

‘You’re strong.’

I think we can communicate.

The strong know the strong.

“We want to catch the monsters here.”

The village chief glanced at Sehyuk and then went back to focusing on smoking his cigarette.

“Do whatever you want.”

“I need help.”

“What help?”

“That stone that the village chief stole from the giant falcon. With that, we can completely eradicate those bastards.”

Hearing those words, the village chief’s hand stopped smoking his cigarette.

The village chief took a drag on his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and put it down.

“That stone is our lifeline. We can’t just give it away.”
