Absolute Regression Chapter 426

426
A purple aura rippled around the horse’s body.

He was really drunk. Looking at him like that, you should think, ‘This is my chance!’

No one dared to rush toward him as he staggered with half-open eyes.

Yeah, that’s probably because he’s drunk.

When the drunk is seriously staggering, how could he dare to attack?

Moreover, the languid gaze beneath the half-closed eyelids felt more frightening than the gaze full of life.

The bottle of alcohol that Chwima was holding became empty, so he picked up another bottle from the floor. He drank again. He drank so much that it made you wonder if it was okay to drink like that.

“Ah, I’m drunk.”

The horse stumbled forward and looked at the Bukhyeolmunju and the Blood King.

“Please stop coming down. My neck hurts when I look up.”

Then the Blood King sat down. He sat in a very comfortable position, as if he wanted to sit and watch the fight comfortably.

This was a pressure on the Bukhyeolmunju. It was an unspoken pressure to go and kill him while I just watch from here.

‘fu*k.’

The Bukhyeolmunju couldn’t get a handle on this blood king. Now that the elder of the Ice Palace has died, he thought that he definitely needed the Bukhyeolmun to rule the North Sea. However, this guy was trying to use him as a consumable. He seemed to be extremely emotional, and he didn’t even blink at the provocation of the horse a little while ago.

The Bukhyeolmunju saw smoke rising far behind.

‘And he even called his own men.’

What on earth are you planning to do? If you let things get this big, you won’t be able to handle it.

In any case, now was the time to fight. Provoking this capricious Blood King was more frightening than fighting a drunkard.

And if we join hands with the Blood King and win, we will be able to achieve our long-held dream of becoming the greatest power in the North Sea.

“Kill him!”

At the command of the Bukhyeolmunju, seven warriors descended under the wall at once.

How could I not be afraid of them when they were drunk? Still, I was pinning my hopes on the fact that the number was seven.

Ssssssssut.

The fleeting bloom of the cycle overshadowed that hope.

A drunkard’s voice was heard through the fog.

“When the fog rises, run west. Then you can survive.”

But no one ran away through the escape route that the horse had opened.

They were not ordinary Bukhyeolmun members. They were the subordinates of the Bukhyeolmun lord, and they had committed all sorts of evil deeds following the lord’s orders their entire lives. Whether they were alive or dead, they were one body.

This time, the cycle that had bloomed was more intoxicating than the previous ones. Just being exposed to the fog for a moment made them already drunk. However, it was a pointless attempt to expel the cycle within the cycle.

If it was poison, I could have just taken some medicine to relieve it. The scariest thing is that it wasn’t poison, so I couldn’t stop it.

Phew!

One of the unmanned men waved his hand to disperse the fog. The fog around his body disappeared for a moment before reappearing.

The moment the unmanned waved its hand again.

A drunken horse stood in the place where the cycle had disappeared.

The surprised warrior hurriedly drew his sword, but it was already too late.

The palm of the horse’s hand lightly struck the man’s forehead first.

With a “thud” sound, the drone fell over.

When he fell, the horse was already gone from there.

“If you want to live, run west!”

But instead of running towards it, they aimed their swords towards the place where the sound of the horse was coming from.

Shh! Shh! Shh!

The black energy poured down, but the drunken horse’s scream was not heard.

“The west is over there. Or is it this way?”

The drunken voice of the drunken man was heard again. This time, a man flew in the opposite direction of the voice and swung his sword.

‘It must be a trick to lure us!’

It was a decision I made after thinking hard, but I couldn’t keep up with my drunken mind.

His black sword cut through the air, and at the same time, as if waiting, someone’s arm wrapped around his neck from behind.

‘How did you read my mind?’

Boom!

With that thought, the unmanned man fell down with his neck broken.

“Ah, I’m drunk.”

Shhh! Shhh!

Swords flew in from two directions, but the drunken horse had already disappeared. The drunken horse was clearly drunk, but his movements were faster than anyone else’s. This was his world, where even the Blood King dared not jump in.

“All your men are going to die. Are you still not going to come out?”

A drunkard’s voice was heard through the fog.

But the Bukhyeolmunju stood on the wall and did not move.

‘If you go into that fog without a plan, you’ll die.’

Even from here, just the smell was enough to get one intoxicated.

The men inside will be really drunk. Their bodies and judgment will be slow. Even if they were faster than usual, it wouldn’t be enough.

Truly, an opponent you should never fight if you weren’t the Blood King.

I have to somehow find the weakness before all my subordinates die.

A scream was heard from the fog. This time it was the scream of a subordinate.

One unmanned aircraft, unable to bear the fear, flew up above the fog. It was a choice to try and escape the cycle.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Something flew through the fog at high speed and smashed his jaw.

The dead man didn’t know what had hit him and killed him, but the Bukhyeolmunju saw it clearly. It was a rock that had fallen on the floor. To Chwima, anything he could get his hands on became a weapon.

Another loud crash erupted from the fog.

Phew!

The unmanned vehicle that had burst through the fog crashed into the wall where the Blood King and the Northern Blood Lord were. It was already dead the moment it had been hit in the abdomen.

This time, a drone burst out of the western fog. It really was trying to run away to the west.

Shhhhh!

Phew!

A blast of energy flew and destroyed him.

The one who killed him by blowing the bullet was the Bukhyeolmunju. This fight must not be made known to the world. He could not allow him to run away in disobedience to his orders.

The fog dispersed left and right, and a horse appeared in the center of the fog. The fog cleared only around where he was standing.

Chwima looked at Bukhyeolmunju with drunken eyes.

The emotions contained in those languid eyes were contempt and ridicule. The Bukhyeolmunju shouted with strength in his eyes.

“I died because of you!”

At that moment, the seventh unmanned man walked towards Chwima with his head bowed as if in despair.

“The West is not this way.”

The very moment the drone raised its head!

Chwima hurriedly raised his arms in self-defense and covered his face with both arms.

He had already activated the self-destruct attack, and his face and body were red.

Kwaaaaang!

The blood that poured out of his chest hit Chwima. The impact made Chwima fly backwards.

The horse rolled on the ground and fell down. Then the surrounding fog disappeared.

“I got rid of the drunkenness!”

The Blood King shouted in joy. The Blood King had not just sent them to their deaths.

“This is what the lord arranged!”

Although he felt bad that he hadn’t been told in advance, he could bear it just knowing that he wouldn’t have to fight his drunkenness.

“Please go before the leader returns.”

However, the Blood King remained seated and looked at the horse that had fallen on the floor.

When the gaze of the Bukhyeolmunju naturally turned towards that direction.

“Ugh, it hurts.”

Surprisingly, the horse was slowly getting up.

Chuma drank alcohol while touching his chest. It was a situation where he would have been seriously injured if it had happened suddenly in an unexpected situation.

However, he avoided serious injury because the ultimate heavenly armor he was wearing prevented his body from being penetrated by the blood energy.

‘Thanks to you, I survived, little brother.’

The sword dance saved his life. He really had to wrap the sword of the highest heavenly robe around his body.

A flash of light passed through the eyes of the Blood King as he looked at the horse.

I couldn’t believe that he was still fine after having been hit so many times before.

“I was wearing protective gear.”

The Blood King spoke to the Northern Blood Lord with confidence. The Northern Blood Lord could tell when the gaze that had been directed at the drunken horse turned to him.

‘You want me to go out and fight too?’

In the end, it meant that you too should go out and die.

The Blood King’s eyes said this.

‘Do you want to die here, do you want to die fighting?’

There comes a moment in life when you suddenly wake up from a dream.

Huh? Was this it? Huh? Was this the kind of person I was? Huh? You thought of me like this?

That moment when your heart sinks and goosebumps appear. That moment when you stutter because you can’t control your facial expressions and your face turns red with shame.

At that moment, Bukhyeolmunju said that. At least, he thought that he was not that insignificant to him.

However, the Blood King could see that he was the same as his previously deceased subordinates.

“Please give me a drink too.”

The Bukhyeolmunju jumped down. Still, he was more afraid of the Blood King than the drunken horse. No matter what, he couldn’t die on this wall.

The Bukhyeolmunju slowly walked towards Chwima. He was planning to make a surprise attack while he was drinking the alcohol.

‘You only get one chance.’

If you fight within the cycle, you will surely lose.

Chwima welcomed him with open arms.

“I finally have a drinking buddy. Is it really that hard to have a drink together?”

The Bukhyeolmunju approached Chwima step by step. He tried to calm his pounding heart and waited for just one moment.

The two people had now come close enough to touch each other if they extended their hands.

“There are no glasses, so let’s just drink.”

As Chwima was about to hand over the bottle of alcohol, he suddenly remembered something and asked.

“But Your Majesty, is the author that scary?”

It was an unexpected question.

“I respect my lord.”

“What is so admirable about someone who pushes his subordinates into danger because he is afraid of his opponents?”

The Buk-hyeol-mun-ju felt bitter. Because he was the subordinate who had been pushed in. Because he thought that he was not the one who deserved this kind of treatment.

“Did the author find a weakness in you?”

The Bukhyeolmunju did not answer.

Weakness? There are two. The blood attack that kills by inflating the blood vessels, and the desire to bring down the North Sea Ice Palace and stand in its place.

What weakness did he have that brought him here?

“How about joining hands with me and fighting that guy? Then, you won’t have any regrets even if you die?”

The moment he said those words, a cold sneer formed on the lips of the Blood King sitting on the wall.

“Look at that guy over there, how he laughs.”

How on earth can you be so funny?

At that very moment, when the Bukhyeolmunju inadvertently looked back.

Shh! Phu!

I heard the sound of flesh being torn.

When the Bukhyeolmunju looked back at the horse with a surprised expression, he saw that he was holding a bloody knife in his other hand, apart from the one holding the bottle of alcohol.

‘what?’

The next moment.

Phew.

Blood spurted out from the neck of the Bukhyeolmunju. The moment he turned around and saw the Blood King, the horse suddenly struck him like lightning and stabbed him in the neck.

The Bukhyeolmunju only thought of making a surprise attack, and never thought that Chwima would surprise him and kill him. Chwima had shown great skill before, and had fought so leisurely that it was even more so.

“I’m sorry. Drunken fights are inherently dirty.”

I wanted to say something to Chwima, but the wound on my neck was too deep.

He grabbed his neck, but couldn’t stop the blood from flowing out.

The Bukhyeolmunju collapsed as if it was collapsing. He died with his eyes wide open, as if he was resentful of this meaningless death.

The horse squatted down and closed his eyes.

He was going to kill me anyway. I knew all about the things he had done while searching for the extreme delay at the Bukhyeolmun Gate. It was just a matter of when to clean it up.

I had a feeling that the Bukhyeolmunju would not betray the Blood King in this fight. I also felt that the reason he came to ask for alcohol was to launch a surprise attack.

“Standing next to someone like that can’t possibly end well.”

The drunkard drank the wine with the thick scent of blood from the Bukhyeolmunju as his side dish. Of course, while drinking, he did not take his eyes off the Blood King even for a moment.

Coldness and heat, hotness and coldness, entangled in the air.

The Blood King spoke to Chwima for the first time.

“Isn’t there even anyone watching you while you’re doing that?”

The mockery directed at the sword dance did not work on Chwima.

“You shouldn’t come to such a dirty and dangerous place.”

Rather, the drunkenness went a step further.

“I’m really grateful to you for that. You kept the leader of the cult from coming here. He’s not the type of person to be in a place that smells like alcohol and blood. People like you and me should be grabbing each other by the collar and rolling around.”

The Blood King looked down at the horse with a strange look.

“You are a strange person.”

“You’re saying that because you’re drunk. No, you’re saying that because you’re not drunk.”

While talking nonsense, Chwima drank again. He drank so much that it seemed excessive. However, the Blood King saw. The more he drank, the more Chwima’s eyelids opened, but his eyes shone even clearer.

The horse waved its hand, telling the Blood King to come down.

Then the Blood King finally got up from his seat and jumped down.

Finally, the Blood King appeared. In that place filled with intoxication, the Blood King’s spirit began to rise.

“Blood is thicker than wine.”

Blood and energy did not yield an inch to each other.

“How can you compare worthless blood to alcohol?”

The two energies began to press against each other tensely, mixing together the smell of alcohol, blood, and primal violence.
