The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 139

Episode 139. The Forest of the Fallen (1)

“I'll try.”

I said, taking a step forward.

“Are you okay? You don’t have to waste your energy on it.”

Jin Jae-hee expressed his concern.

But now it is time to break away from her power to some extent.

I wanted to test my strength.

"are you okay."

I summoned the spheres.

The silver spheres orbited around me according to my will.

The two-eyed sage did not attack so rashly that it made their fierce charge seem insignificant.

Perhaps he too felt Jin Jae-hee's power.

I looked at him slowly.

observation.

What I do best.

'It has such high intelligence that it doesn't attack rashly. High intelligence and numerous tentacles… … .'

Appearance of the exterior.

Movement of tentacles.

Number of tentacles.

I had everything in my head.

After thinking about it, I moved slowly.

Circle around him without provoking him.

The side of the thing was also round.

The corpses were stuck together and covering the outer surface.

There were things that were human, and things that were wild animals.

Some of them were not completely rotten, and still had the shape of their faces.

It was a truly horrific sight.

I made my way through the bushes in the opposite direction.

The bastard didn't turn or move.

It was still not moving.

Now I'm headed behind the bastard.

Does that guy have eyes?

No, I don't see anything like that.

If we don't have eyes to perceive vision, what other sense organs are there?

Is that the tentacle?

With hundreds of tentacles to perceive its surroundings, it would have superior close combat capabilities even without eyes.

In that case, close combat should be avoided.

Of course, if it were Jin Jae-hee or Choi Hyun-ji, who could be resolved by force, it would be okay to confront them directly.

In the first place, the way I should fight is not by force.

If I was going to deal with it by force, I wouldn't have even come forward.

observation.

Everything comes from observation.

I now circled through the bushes to the other side of the bastard.

But at that moment.

Ssasasak-.

The tentacles began to wrap around the tree and threaten me.

I quickly launched the sphere and dropped it into a nearby bush.

Then their tentacles swarmed the bushes like pyramids tearing at their prey.

Phew, phew, phew!

'also…….'

I walked slowly, avoiding the tentacles.

The guy hasn't reacted much to small strides so far.

It only reacted when a strong object, the size of a sphere, hit the ground.

'Does your cognitive ability decline at a distance?'

I dropped the sphere at the same timing every time I took a step.

Then all of the bastard's attention was drawn to the sphere.

As I approached the creature, I was finally able to discover a small hole that appeared to be its anus.

I frowned and looked closer.

'It's difficult to penetrate the outer surface because it's covered with a hard bone shell. We carefully insert the sphere into that hole.'

The plan was set.

It causes an explosion.

Draw attention to a sphere while simultaneously allowing the rest of the spheres to penetrate into the body.

I circled around the bastard again and came back to where I had been.

Jin Jae-hee was still watching me.

I looked at her for a moment and then looked at Du-eok-sin-i again.

Then he raised his hand and manipulated the sphere.

Whirik-.

The spheres scattered in all directions centered on the cast area.

Like stars rising at regular intervals in the night sky.

My spheres spread out all over this area.

First, the trees were touched, causing strong vibrations.

Then he concentrated his mental power and scattered the spheres in all directions.

Pada dadadada dadadak!

As the sphere struck the tree, the leaves began to flutter like snow.

Then the guy started throwing tantrums.

The tentacles fluttered in all directions, responding to the vibrations they heard.

The sound of my footsteps was naturally buried in the vibrations generated by the spheres.

I vibrated the spheres more strongly.

And to determine its durability, I directly hit it with a few spheres.

As expected, the bastard didn't even budge.

It seemed as if it would be invulnerable to even a slight blow, because the bones of the creatures it had eaten were stuck all over its skin.

And the asshole of the guy I just checked.

Although it was as small as a grain of rice compared to its large size, there was no need to worry.

This was my chance to test out the artifact control techniques I had learned from Jin Jae-hee.

I gathered the spheres, lined them up in a row, and shot them straight away.

By targeting his weak point exactly.

The spheres entered the bastard's body one after another.

The operation was a success.

Dooeoksini began to shake as if in pain.

-Kuaaaaah! Kyaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Du-eok-sini now began to twist his body and destroy all objects in the area.

Now it was more difficult to avoid the branches and pillars swaying in all directions than the creature's tentacles.

Even in the midst of all that, I didn't stop watching him.

Artifacts are areas of concentration.

If there is even a slight disturbance, the artifact will be canceled.

Pada dadadada dadadak-!

Hundreds of spheres were sucked into the creature's body, and at the same time, its body began to swell in size.

Up to 1.5 or 2 times the original size.

And now.

Tamar-!

I clasped my hands together and gathered the sphere.

The spheres that had been moving around the bastard's body were concentrated in one place inside the bastard's body.

“Phew… … .”

Take a shallow breath.

Add concentration to concentration.

An image of destruction came to mind.

The moment I vividly recalled the sight of the bastard's body exploding.

Pbu …

* * *

It was a great concentration.

Jin Jae-hee, who was looking at Kang Si-on, swallowed dry saliva.

Zion's ability did not have great destructive power, nor did it have any special features like buffs.

However, Kang Shi-on used his utmost efficiency to wipe out Du-eok-sini.

'… … As expected of you.'

Jin Jae-hee smiled faintly.

Now into battle, why was Zion the only monarch to make it to the final round?

He proved it himself.

Thud thud thud thud-!

Du-eok-sini's flesh was scattered in all directions, and his blood poured down, mixing with the rainwater.

After the battle, the forest returned to silence as if nothing had happened.

“Brother-!!! You’re amazing!”

Choi Myeong-jun ran out and lifted Kang Si-on up.

Sincere respect and trust welled up in Myungjun's heart.

Kang Shi-on put the spheres away, feeling his head pounding.

Because we were operating hundreds of spheres simultaneously, it took a lot of mental power.

However, Kang Si-on approached Choi Myung-jun and Jin Jae-hee without any trace of disarray.

“Brother! Here’s a towel. I’ll wipe you dry!”

Choi Myeong-jun hurriedly ran over and cleaned Zion's body.

The blood was slowly being washed away by the rain, but the chunks of flesh attached to the body remained.

Myungjun sincerely removed and cleaned the foreign substances attached to Kang Si-on's body.

Kang Si-on did not necessarily refuse Choi Myeong-jun’s offer.

Normally, I would have rejected this kind of fuss right away, but something more bothering me than Choi Myung-jun caught my eye.

“What about Chang and Choi Hyun-ji?”

Jin Jae-hee stepped forward in response to Kang Si-on’s question.

“The tail is gone. Choi Hyun-ji is chasing him right now.”

“Ouch-! Brother. That ungrateful brat must have run away after seeing that monster earlier. I’ll catch him and make a wooden spoon out of him!”

Kang Shi-on waved his hand as if he didn't like it.

Then Choi Myeong-jun stepped back with a towel in his hand, his movements very military-like.

“You ran away? Chang knows how strong we are.”

Kang Shi-on thought about the suspicious behaviors that Chang had been showing.

The kindness he showed me all this time was genuine.

Whatever the ulterior motive, no harm was done to Zion and his party, and there was no falsehood in the goodwill itself.

The reason Kang Shi-on didn't put any particular restraints on the suspicious Chang at a glance was because he took that into consideration.

It was unclear what they were hiding, but at least Chang knew the strength of Kang Shi-on's group and must have been aware that they could defeat Du-eok-sini.

“You crossed the line.”

I could forgive him for hiding his ulterior motives.

In a world that has changed drastically, everyone has their own ulterior motives and treats each other accordingly.

But when that intention was eventually revealed through action, it was a different story.

Until now, Chang's suspicious behavior seemed to have been a ruse to have him meet Du-eok-sin-i and his group.

The turning a blind eye was over.

Because Kang Shi-on wasn't the type of person to leave any traces behind.

* * *

The champ was running.

Since Chang knew the geography of the forest like the back of his hand, he was able to quickly distance himself from Du-eok-sini and Kang-shi-on.

After confirming that there was no one around, Chang sighed in relief and sat down.

“Whew! I never thought Dooeoksini would show up there. I was planning on taking her to her nest and then just disappearing.”

Chang wiped away the sweat, panting.

“When I suddenly sat down to rest right in front of my destination, I really thought I was wrong.”

Suddenly, Chaeng remembered Jin Jae-hee's face.

A human woman who seems to have created the word beauty in human form.

“That human looked strong, so he wouldn’t have been defeated by Dooeoksini. If he just lost some strength… … . Oh my.”

Chaeng noticed the saliva dripping from his mouth without him knowing and quickly wiped it away with his sleeve.

At that moment, someone's voice was heard by Chang's ear.

"What are you doing?"

“Eww!”

Choi Hyun-ji.

She had been chasing Chang with incredible speed, befitting a player.

Hyunji was surprised and put his hand on his waist as he looked at the fallen man.

“Hey, you punk. Even though we’ve been together for a long time, why are you abandoning us and throwing us away? You’re a jerk. I need to take care of this big sister.”

Choi Hyun-ji approached Chang, grabbing his shoulder and turning his arm.

It looked like he was going to get beaten up badly by anyone.

“Hey, wait a minute! Oh, no! I didn’t run away… … .”

“You didn’t run away?”

“I, I, I came to the village to ask for help. If you go straight down this road, you’ll find the village. But my legs gave out, so I just sat there for a while.”

As Chang started to panic and shout, Choi Hyun-ji stopped trying to hit him and glared at him.

“Really? If I keep going like this, I’ll get a glow?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

As Chang explained while rubbing her hands together, Choi Hyun-ji lowered her arms with a dubious expression.

I tried to track the hawk, but since I didn't know the geography of the forest, I couldn't tell exactly where the hawk was going.

“What do you think we are? We can just kill monsters like that.”

“Ah, ahaha. But I think it would have been better to prepare for an emergency. You are our honored guests. Ahaha. Anyway, let’s go back to our group for now.”

“What? You said you were going to the village.”

“Yes? Yes. Ah. Since the guests said that Du-eok-sin-i could be easily defeated… … .”

Chaeng cursed inwardly.

'X.'

If the Du-eok-sin-i were so easily defeated, there weren't many ways to deal with them.

If all the hunters in the village rushed in, the story might be different.

Chaeng thought about it over and over again, but no good solution came to mind.

At that moment, Chang's head was spinning violently.

“Uh… … . Uh… … ?”

“Why, why are you doing that?”

Chang raised his head and looked at Choi Hyun-ji.

Choi Hyun-ji was looking across the forest with a blank expression.

Chaeng turned his head to follow Choi Hyun-ji's gaze with an expression that said he didn't understand English.

“That. It’s the supplies that Man-gyeong was supposed to bring next week… … ? No, but why are there so many… … .”

As far as the locals could see, boxes of supplies were stacked high.

One box per week.

Supplies prepared for the Gangsi-on party as they search the forest.

It was only now that the first supplies were supposed to arrive, but there were probably hundreds of them there.
