The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 118

Episode 118. Physical Prison (1)

I looked around slowly.

It was a strange space.

Everything that made up this space was made of human bodies.

Huge rib cages, like dinosaur bones, towered high along the outer walls of the prison.

Between the ribs were muscles and flesh, and the damp, sticky floor that made up the ground seemed to be the inner lining of the intestines.

The wrinkles and slippery texture proved it.

‘… … Inside the monster’s body. No, is it a person?’

Whatever the identity, only one being could come to mind who could wield an artifact of this level.

Park Ji-soo.

She finally started to move.

I turned my head and looked at the main prison building.

When I saw that sight, I couldn’t help but frown.

It was as if an adult had been haphazardly stuffed into a transparent square box.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, chest, fingers, toes, and even the belly button.

It was all mixed up.

The guy was alive.

The flesh around the belly button was moving regularly.

“ah…….”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Whew!”

The soldiers began to feel nauseous and wait.

Perhaps it is because of the stench that stings the nose.

And those eyes too.

It was bigger than the whale’s eyes I had seen in round 1.

‘Unique physical characteristics are ignored, and the space is reset at the caster’s discretion.’

What this meant was that Park Ji-soo could completely change this space if she wanted to.

In other words, it means you can kill me at any time.

I looked at the ceiling.

Even though the sunlight was completely blocked out, the interior was not completely dark.

To put it bluntly, it was as red as the inside of a butcher shop.

I calmly collected my thoughts.

‘In light of the circumstances, I’m probably trapped inside Park Ji-soo’s body right now. Did my body get smaller? … … No, it’s more likely that it’s Park Ji-soo’s artifact ability. It’s probably something that allows her to change surrounding objects and space into parts of her body. That’s the first step.’

I started digging into the second fact again.

If this is a part of the body, where is it and how can I get out of this space?

Basically, mental power is consumed to use artifact abilities.

So, it would be impossible to confine it in this space indefinitely.

But the situation remained hopeless.

“… … .”

At that time, the corpses that had been strewn about on the ground were gradually being eaten away at.

At the same time, I felt my body sinking into the ground little by little.

When I lifted my foot with force, it returned to its original position.

A stench that stings the nose.

An acidic liquid.

Round shape.

Wrinkled inner wall.

‘Is it the stomach?’

I took another step forward.

Even just walking required considerable strength.

Then a soldier approached me.

It was the young soldier I had spoken to earlier.

“Your Majesty… …! Uh, please evacuate first. We will take care of you.”

Evacuation?

Is this a place where we can take refuge?

Well, I don’t know.

Looking around, I saw that several soldiers were already panicking.

“Hey, for now, I’ll keep stabbing that mucous membrane thing with my weapon.”

Before I knew it, soldiers were crowding around me.

As the soldier said, several soldiers with spears were poking at the camouflage wall.

But it was no use.

“Shit!”

“Give me some more strength!”

“The smell makes my head spin… … . Ugh!”

They took turns stabbing the stomach wall with their spears, but the wall wasn’t even scratched.

I pointed at them and ordered them.

“Tell them to come out.”

“Yes, old!”

“Over there! Come out!”

As they moved away, I summoned the artifact.

We gathered as much energy as possible and focused it in one place.

Several spheres gathered at the center point I designated.

This attack had such a powerful destructive power that even Jin Jae-hee could barely block it, but its accuracy was significantly reduced.

The center point where the sphere was concentrated was only the size of a bottle cap.

But now I just had to peel off that lining, so I didn’t care about hit rate.

Paaaaat-! Thud thud thud thud!

The spheres gathered in one place and tried to pierce the endothelium.

But it had no effect at all.

I couldn’t even get a single scratch on the mucous membrane of my skin.

When the attacks failed, the soldiers began to become uneasy.

“… … This can’t be happening. Even the monarch’s artifact.”

“How on earth did you get that?”

“Damn it… … . I can’t even contact the outside world.”

Certainly, our current situation could be seen as being trapped here.

Is there really no way out?

‘No. There must be a way out.’

There was no choice but to find the caster’s body.

Just because soldiers gather together doesn’t mean the unit’s fighting power will be strengthened.

At this moment, it seemed right to divide the unit into small units and conduct reconnaissance.

I gave orders to my soldiers.

“Let’s reorganize into groups of five and start exploring the inside of the prison.”

“Yes, okay! I understand!”

The soldiers formed groups and began to move around, shooting here and there, as per my orders.

I observed the movement of objects around me.

There’s nothing unusual about it, except for the wrinkles and the dynamic eyes.

But one question came to mind.

How on earth is this ability structured?

Although this was clearly the inside of a human body, it was hard to imagine it as the inside of a normal body.

The constituent substances of the body were so jumbled together that it was impossible to tell what was what.

But if this is inside the body, there must be a way out.

Somewhere in this prison.

At that moment, Park Ji-soo’s voice was heard.

“Wow-. Zion started to think.”

At the same time, screams echoed from all over.

“Kuaaaah! Aaaah!”

“Haaaaaah… …! Haaaaaah!”

“AAAAAHHHH!”

The soldiers who had been moving around in groups of five began to fall into the interior in an instant.

The soldiers were screaming for help, but I had no time to help them.

A slender arm appeared out of nowhere and came towards me, wrapping itself around my shoulder and collarbone.

She appeared behind me and hugged me.

“hi.”

I carefully turned my head and looked at her.

It was so close that I could feel his breathing.

King Park Ji-soo.

She was holding me from behind.

I don’t know why, but she had sad eyes.

The voice was also locked.

“It’s so strange. Just a few years ago, we were just normal kids, and now we’re killing each other.”

Kwuuuk… … .

Park Ji-soo hugged me tighter.

Her right hand dug into my left armpit, and her left hand grabbed my shoulder.

I couldn’t do anything.

I called the specific one, but Park Ji-soo already knew.

“It’s no use. There’s no escape from here. There’s no one coming to save you. No, you weren’t in danger in the first place. So there’s no need to come to save you. I just want to be with you.”

Park Ji-soo’s left hand slowly moved down and stopped near my heart.

“Because this space is only for me. Not that woman. Not your subordinates, not my subordinates, not those monsters. Only for me. Now it’s also a space for you. You will live in this world from now on. That’s the future I’ve decided for you. Don’t be angry. Just accept it.”

Wiggle wiggle.

At that moment, the ground that was in contact with the ogre began to move and swallow up the ogre’s massive body.

“Are you hungry? Want some food?”

Park Ji-soo lifted her head from my shoulder and began whispering in my ear.

“No, do you want to take a bath?”

Park Ji-soo tilted her head slightly and seemed to be looking at my face.

“Do you want to take a nap for a while?”

He rested his chin on my shoulder again and said:

At this moment, I could have attacked her at any time, but I didn’t.

Because she must have been aware that my sphere was floating all around, and she didn’t avoid it or hide from it.

That is to say, there was no point in attacking.

“It’s dangerous outside. It’s much better to stay here. Don’t worry. My body won’t be ruined. I’ve already prepared our lives deep in the basement of this prison. Rounds? Managers? Leagues? It doesn’t matter. Let’s just rest here. Until the world completely ends.”

“… … .”

At that moment, gastric juice began to slowly rise from the tips of my toes.

The stomach acid that was originally just a little bit has now risen to the level of my knees.

“You are mine now.”

It went up past my knees, to my thighs, and up to my belly button.

“Don’t think about it, Zion. You can’t get out of here anyway.”

Now it has risen above my chest and up to my neck.

Eventually, it reached the tip of his chin, and it was only a matter of time before his entire body was completely submerged.

‘… … !’

Bubble bubble.

The blisters that had emerged between the lips rose steadily.

My body was submerged in water and floated up.

I had no choice but to turn my body naturally with the flow of water, and there, just like me, was Park Ji-soo, submerged.

Park Ji-soo and I looked at each other.

She was underwater, her hair flying in all directions.

She, with her young face, smiled at me and said.

“Come. Into my physical prison.”

* * *

The number of cells proliferating in the human body is uncountable.

Therefore, even Park Ji-soo, who uses a physical prison, had difficulty estimating the exact number of cells he could multiply.

An overwhelming number of cells.

And the Jin Jae-hee inside her body was like a virus that had to be eradicated by white blood cells.

“Coolook… … !”

dump.

Eventually she got down on one knee.

I couldn’t even open my eyes properly because of the blood flowing out from the torn left side of my forehead.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the parks.

The monster before my eyes was on a different level.

At least within this space, Park Ji-soo’s abilities were the strongest.

Cells that multiply indefinitely.

Those who looked like Park Ji-soo were performing the function of white blood cells.

‘There’s no end… … .’

Tsk tsk tsk. Tsk tsk.

The sword in Jin Jae-hee’s right hand was split into thin pieces and scattered on the floor.

She couldn’t hold out any longer and fell to her knees.

My vision turned bright red.

My mind was dizzy and my legs were shaking so much that it was difficult to stand.

‘There’s no point in killing the proliferator… … You have to kill the main body. Is this the limit of your basic abilities?’

Jaehee raised his eyes with difficulty.

Countless white blood cells were coming towards him.

She stood up again and wiped the blood off the last remaining holy sword.

At that moment, the laughter of white blood cells echoed from all directions.

“352 in 30 minutes… … . 10 per minute… … . She’s definitely a monster.”

White blood cells came from all directions.

You never know which white blood cell will attack first.

Jin Jae-hee looked around without letting his guard down until the very end.

“But what should I do! Kyaha-!”

The white blood cells continued to speak.

“A total of 451 bugs entered my body. I killed them all. Now, you are the only one left. I just need you gone.”

“If only I didn’t have you… … ! If only I didn’t have you… … ! Sobbing… … .”

“Dad, I’m sorry… … .”

“Don’t bother me, you fu*king bitch. Just die.”

“Hahaha! Ah-! Look at that blood-stained sack of rice!”

“Die. Die. You bitch.”

“Dad, I’m sorry… … .”

“Die! Die!”

The expressions and emotions of the white blood cells were all different.

Some people were crying, some were laughing, and some were really angry.

Rather than multiple personalities, it seemed like the emotions that the original human named Park Ji-soo had were coming out one by one over time.

‘… … That’s amazing. Does that mean that each cell has different emotions?’

The situation was dire, but Jin Jae-hee was exploring Park Ji-soo’s abilities.

Jin Jae-hee gripped the handle of the holy sword tightly with trembling hands.

And then I walked forward, stumbling along.

But that didn’t make any difference.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Fists and kicks were flying from all directions, and some white blood cells even head-butted.

“Kyaahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!”

“Dad, I’m sorry.”

“Die! Die!”

These were really just ordinary attacks.

But even with such a poor attack, Jin Jae-hee fell down with a thud.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Falling down like that dozens of times.

Now Jin Jae-hee couldn’t get up.

He lay sprawled on the floor, breathing heavily.

She was already covered in wounds all over her body.

“… … Haa … … Phew.”

Jin Jae-hee’s hair was scattered in a circle on the floor.

She blinked her eyes and looked up at the ceiling of the unknown space.

White blood cells appeared one by one in Jaehee’s field of vision.

One of them looked down at her with his knees bent, while the other looked down at her with his arms crossed haughtily.

“it’s hard?”

“Excuse me. Are you having a hard time?”

“Hair… … seaweed… … .”

Knock knock knock.

A white blood cell touched Jin Jae-hee’s shoulder with its finger.

Every time that happened, Jin Jae-hee’s body shook steadily.

“Weak, weak.”

“Dad, I’m sorry… … .”

“Are you really an S-class player? At least that’s what I thought.”

“It’s a shame about Zion.”

“I regret it a million times.”

“Okay, okay!”

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

The white blood cells laughed among themselves.

For a long time, this place was filled with the laughter of white blood cells.

And when the voices of the white blood cells become silent.

A single laugh drowned out all the sounds.

Then the white blood cells quickly lost their expression.

A white blood cell frowned and asked her.

“… …Why are you laughing?”
