The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 120

Episode 120. Physical Prison (3)

Okay… …. I figured it all out.

‘Heart, stomach, left knee, right middle toe, right elbow, large intestine, navel… … . That’s for sure. These are the places where the decision is hidden.’

I came down to the floor and looked around.

If you escape from the place where the brain is and destroy the decisions in the seven places above, Park Ji-soo’s artifact will collapse.

“No… … . It can’t be. It can’t be… … . No, no. How. Don’t you know my memories? Didn’t you see all of my memories? T, don’t you understand? Lee Se-beom died in tears, overcome with sorrow… … . Even though I only saw a tenth of you… … . Aren’t you sad? Are you saying you’re not sad? You, you, you.”

“… … Aren’t you sad?”

I tried to take a step forward, but I didn’t have the strength.

My whole body felt limp.

I don’t know if it was sad, but I was physically exhausted to the point where I couldn’t even move a hand.

Of course, Park Ji-soo’s emotions that entered my brain directly aroused emotions in me.

‘Even so, it’s just a monkey tragedy. It’s just a sad epic of cockroaches.’

No matter what kind of life the monkey has lived, I would only be a little moved by it, but not so much that I would become corrupted.

If a stray cat that you often see on your way to work at a construction site one day dies, it’s sad, but that’s it.

Animals are animals, humans are humans.

Park Ji-soo is an animal to me.

Female monkey.

Just because the monkey is sad, should I be sad?

No matter how miserable the monkey’s life was, I cannot understand it.

It’s none of my business whether the monkey’s parents were killed by poachers, sold, and spent the rest of its life being treated cruelly in a circus, and then eventually ending up on a dinner table with its brains eaten alive.

‘I just need to find my brother.’

There’s only one step left.

I just couldn’t stop in a place like this.

Park Ji-soo was still sobbing.

He lay on the floor, begging me desperately.

“And… … . Your head should have exploded… … . 14 million memories… … ? You’d go crazy if you accepted just a hundred… … ? You… … . You’re not human… … ? Your brain… … . What the… … is it… … . Ah, you… … . You were my last hope… … . This is too much… … . This is too much… … !”

“… … .”

I knew how to cancel that artifact, but the problem was that I didn’t have the strength left to lift a finger.

‘It may be possible to control the artifact, but it will be impossible to destroy it. In my memory… … it didn’t break even if three men struck it with hammers all day.’

Hard as diamond.

It was a solid structure that no ordinary person could ever break.

If you are an ‘ordinary’ person.

At that moment, Ji-su Park, who had been crying, suddenly started vomiting blood.

“Phuhhhhhhhh… …!? Uwueek-!”

Churruruk.

Bright red blood splattered on the floor.

I could tell by looking at Park Ji-soo’s coughing up blood.

She came.

* * *

“Why are you laughing?”

The white blood cell asked.

But Jin Jae-hee just covered her face with her hands and smiled.

“Puhhhhhh… … .”

The white blood cells looking down at Jin Jae-hee were all silent.

She was still laughing, covering her eyes with her hands.

She kept laughing.

I laughed so hard.

I laughed like there was no tomorrow.

Then finally he burst out laughing.

“Poohahahahahahaha-!”

Since his return, Jin Jae-hee had never laughed out loud even once.

But in this empty space, she was laughing freely.

Now he covered his face with both hands and smiled.

The white blood cells had no idea why he was laughing.

Even when he took his hands off his face, Jin Jae-hee was smiling brightly like a child.

Like a kid who really has everything in the world.

“Oh, that’s funny… … . Isn’t it funny?”

At that moment, the white blood cell’s face distorted.

It wasn’t just the white blood cells that Jin Jae-hee was looking at.

The white blood cells that were laughing, the white blood cells that were crying, and the white blood cells that were making strange expressions all crumpled their expressions in an instant.

“what?”

“what?”

“… … .”

“Are you crazy? Are you crazy?”

“Why are you laughing? Why.”

When the white blood cells asked, Jin Jae-hee said, still giggling.

“No, that’s… … At best, he’s the ruler of a city. He sits there thinking he’s the most powerful person in the world… … .”

“… … .”

“You are nothing. Really. The rounds, the monsters, and the players that are to come. It’s a shame you can’t see them. You’ll despair if you don’t. You’ll be trampled in the face of the desperate power gap.”

At that time, Jin Jae-hee slowly raised his upper body.

There were still countless white blood cells surrounding her.

Jin Jae-hee still spoke with a smile on his face.

“You think you’re a person with a great story? No. You’re nothing, not even a cockroach. You think you’re something… … Puhahaha! It’s funny! Ahahahaha!”

This was Jin Jae-hee’s expression that no one had ever seen before.

And then he naturally got up from his seat and looked down at Park Ji-soo, who was in the front row.

Since Jin Jae-hee was on the tall side for a woman, Park Ji-soo had to look up at her.

“… … And Kang Shi-on is now yours?”

Briskly.

Jin Jae-hee took a step closer to the white blood cell in the front row, and at the same time, the white blood cell unconsciously took a step back.

“You can’t even imagine what kind of person Kang Shi-on is….”

One more step.

“You’re not the kind of person I can embrace.”

One more step.

“I mean, a year after the artifact was released. That is, long before this war broke out.”

One more step.

“I already have enough power to devour all of your forces. But I didn’t do that. Why?”

One more step.

The white blood cells retreated, hesitantly.

They didn’t even know why themselves.

Why is Jin Jae-hee approaching them, but they have to avoid him?

The one bleeding was Jin Jae-hee, and the one with the more wounds was Jin Jae-hee.

Clearly, the situation would be more advantageous for white blood cells.

Why?

“Why didn’t I do that?”

And Jin Jae-hee took another step closer.

“Not now. No, no. You.”

Bam-.

Jin Jae-hee pointed at the white blood cell’s sac with his finger.

“You’re just his practice dummy. Do you understand?”

One more bang.

“I’m raising Kang Shi-on right now. I’m not competing in a league with you.”

This time I hit him with my fist.

puck!

The white blood cells in the front row fell backwards helplessly.

Iron Fist-!

And Jin Jae-hee approached the fallen white blood cell, squatted down, and met its gaze.

She slowly swept her hair up.

Bangs all the way to the ends of the head, exposing the forehead.

“… … Oh, right. Am I going crazy?”

The collapsed white blood cell began to breathe rapidly.

My whole body was crushed by an unknown fear.

My shoulders were trembling, and my lips would not part.

“Huh… … . Huh… … !”

Jin Jae-hee tilted his head and lowered it diagonally.

“… … Sorry, but I was a crazy bitch from the beginning.”

Slurp-.

As she lowered her head, her hair naturally fell downwards.

“It’s on a whole different level from you guys who went crazy after the apocalypse.”

That moment.

Swish-. Swish, swish, swish, swish-!

Just as various vegetables were being ground in a blender, the white blood cells surrounding Jin Jae-hee were broken down.

Three holy swords began to orbit between the pieces of disintegrated flesh.

Yeah-. Yeah-. Yeah-.

Jaehee, who thought he had used up all his strength, got up again.

No, she had never used ‘force’ in the first place.

Since the artifact was released, the regressor Jin Jae-hee has become stronger than anyone else and already has top-level fighting power within the league.

If Kang Si-on had been growing his power during the last round, Jin Jae-hee had been growing his own power to help Kang Si-on.

Faster than anyone else.

So much so that others cannot dare to follow.

However, the reason why he did not use his original power was simple.

The first was to leave Kang Shi-on alone to solve his problems and grow on his own.

The second reason was that going into battle without releasing your power gave you a huge amount of experience to build up the abilities needed for the artifact.

Jaehee’s hair slowly turned silver.

Sharararak-.

“A bug… … .”

Although she wasn’t in the water or blowing in the wind, her silver hair was blowing in all directions.

Silver lights poured into the space surrounding her.

Crystals that gave off a beautiful light like the Milky Way swirled around inside the dark body.

Black.

It was a splendid and beautiful sight, worthy of its title.

This was the true form of the swordsman.

Awakening 2.

The three holy swords that control the power of the silver star, the pinnacle of swords.

In her right hand was held a sword as long as a spear.

Jin Jae-hee held the huge, long silver sword.

She smiled wickedly as she looked at the white blood cells.

“… … I played with it for a bit and it started crawling.”

* * *

“Ah… … . Oooh, ooooooh!”

Park Ji-soo vomited blood again.

The ground she was standing on was already covered in bright red blood from the multiple times she had vomited.

Park Ji-soo fell to the floor without being able to control her body properly.

‘That’s ridiculous… … . There’s something holding out inside my body… … ? Who is it, who is it!’

Even if you kill one or two white blood cells, the number of white blood cells is overwhelming.

There are so many that I can’t even count them.

But someone was going through all those countless white blood cells and destroying all the internal organs and intestines.

Just one of them.

‘Who is it? Who is it? Who is it! Who is it!! Who is it!!!’

That was when.

Phew, s-s-ssss!!!

The massive mass of flesh that formed the inner wall of the brain split in half, and silver light began to emerge from the gap.

In an instant, the flesh was torn apart on both sides.

And then the waves came crashing in.

Rrrrrrrrr!

Between the torn flesh, white blood cells and corpses surged in like waves.

The being that emerged from the waves of giant corpses was a goddess.

Despite having fought countless battles, there was not a single trace of blood on her body.

A silver-haired goddess who emits dazzling beams of light and holds two silver swords.

At least that’s what it seemed to Park Ji-soo.

“ah……!”

An overwhelming absolute being that cannot be approached.

In front of it, no one can help but realize that they are just insignificant creatures.

The same was true for Park Ji-soo.

Just looking at it made me lose my mind to its beauty, and I couldn’t help but stare with my mouth wide open like an idiot.

It was a sight that warmed my heart as if I was being ‘welcomed’ just by looking at it.

Blood surged in like a tidal wave, crashing into the silver shield.

Before long, a protective shield had formed around Kang Shi-on.

Thanks to that, he was able to escape even though blood poured out like a tidal wave.

But Park Ji-soo was slowly soaked in her own blood.

Everything was dyed bright red.

“Huh… … . Eeeeek… … !”

Park Ji-soo began to cry sadly like a child who had lost his parents.

He looked around and searched for someone who could save him.

But there was no one around.

No one.

Only blood and dead cells floating in the blood were pushed forward.

“Huhhhh… … ! Eeeeeeeee… … . Why, why-!!! Why!!!!”

Park Ji-soo kept swinging her arms to try to escape the sea of blood.

He cried and screamed for help without fail.

Kang Si-on looked at her with an indifferent expression, then floated up and soon took a position next to Jin Jae-hee.

After a while, the blood that had filled the room began to drain out.

Park Ji-soo’s body, which was almost submerged, reappeared.

After all the blood has drained out.

Park Ji-soo sat down helplessly in the place where the corpses of white blood cells were piled up.

“… … .”

Like a person who has lost everything.

* * *

Jin Jae-hee flew to Kang Si-on’s side.

And he looked at Zion and asked.

“are you okay?”

“……huh.”

Zion looked down at the sobbing Park Ji-soo and answered.

“thank god.”

After saying that, Jin Jae-hee turned his head forward and looked at him out of the corner of his eye.

His body was exposed to the outside, without a single thread of clothing.

His body was so thin that his ribs were exposed.

Even though he was the ruler of a powerful force, he had the habit of always eating small meals.

His right hand was shaking violently, but he didn’t seem to be aware of it.

‘Are you cold?’

All of Jin Jae-hee’s attention was focused on Zion.

I increased the strength of the shield so that he wouldn’t notice.

A shield of this level would be enough to block mass killing skills from field bosses.

In fact, there was no need to use this level of skill when dealing with Park Ji-soo.

However, since it was necessary to increase the temperature inside the shield, Jin Jae-hee strengthened the shield.

Certainly the trembling of Zion was gradually subsiding.

Jaehee’s prediction that Zion would be shivering from the cold turned out to be correct.

In fact, it was so cold that you could feel your breath coming out, even though it was inside a human body.

It’s because of Jin Jae-hee’s skills.

Her Blacksmith Artifact creates a certain amount of silver crystals around it.

These crystals were a kind of spirits that were self-conscious and followed only the caster’s commands.

And those decisions were as cold as ice, lowering the temperature around them.

At that moment, Zion looked at Jaehee and asked.

“How are you now?”

Zion asked her again.

“Are you still fit to fight?”

Jaehee answered, swinging the Eunseonggeom outward.

“of course.”

Phew-.

A light, sharp friction sound rang out.

Zion seemed to gather his thoughts for a bit and then began to explain.

“I don’t have the strength left to lift a finger. But I’ve figured out the weak points of his artifacts. There are seven of them.”

Zion explained to Jin Jae-hee what he saw in Park Ji-soo’s memories.

Jin Jae-hee’s eyelids shook slightly.

The more I listened to these stories, the more amazing they became.

“… … But I don’t have the strength to move anymore. You have to do it. But you know, even if you go to that place, if you don’t know the exact location, it’ll just be a waste of time.”

Park Ji-soo was still screaming as if she was in pain.

He was walking around staggering like a drunk person, with his head wrapped around his neck.

Jaehee nodded in agreement and answered.

“… … That’s right. Even if it’s a specific area, the area is larger than an average soccer field.”

At first glance, this ‘room’ appeared to be inside Park Ji-soo’s brain, but its size was larger than a soccer field.

To put it simply, the physical prison was structured like this prison’s room, but its size and interior were completely different.

Kang Si-on and Park Ji-soo have become that small.

So even though the weak point was in the heart, it was not clear exactly where it was located.

All Kang Shi-on saw was the location.

Jaehee said, tightly gripping the handle of the Holy Sword.

“Don’t worry. I’ll slaughter them all.”

The corners of her eyes became sharp.

But Zion shook his head.

“It would be impossible even for you.”

“… … My country too?”

Jaehee looked back at Zion in surprise.

“Your artifact’s remaining time is about an hour from the time you last matched up with me. To be exact, it’s about 58 minutes and 12 seconds. However, no matter how great your power is, it’s impossible to cut through everything and find the seven weak points in this infinite space. Furthermore, even the method I’ve come up with right now doesn’t give you enough time. Even if you take the shortest route and destroy all the remaining weak points, the remaining time is… 5 minutes and 12 seconds.”

“… … .”

Zion looked back at Jaehee and spoke again.

“… … 5 minutes and 9 seconds.”

Zion hesitantly explained to Jaehee about his limitations, which he himself was unaware of.

Zion was calculating everything.

Even at that moment, trapped in Park Ji-soo’s memories, he calculated Jin Jae-hee’s remaining strength and tried to produce the best result.

“Don’t worry. I’ve figured out a way.”

And as always, Zion came up with the answer.

His sphere floated into the air.

The sphere met the silvery crystals and began to glow on its own.

The spheres of Zion lined up and headed somewhere.

Zion began to control all the artifacts here and send them to various parts of Park Ji-soo’s body.

“Follow the sphere. Hurry up.”

As soon as Kang Si-on gave his order, Jin Jae-hee flew forward.
