The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 15

#Episode 15. Flag Picking (2)

“One step further.”

“yes……!”

Phew!

Three people spraying fire extinguishers.

Three people shooting arrows.

Three people handing over arrows.

I took an arrow from the man and put it in the hole.

It is not known whether it hit or not.

But the moment we heard a sound, we all fired in the direction of the sound.

Swish, swish!

I continued to shoot arrows in the direction of the sound.

The arrow continued to fly, cutting through the white smoke.

From the other side, the enemy’s shouts could be heard.

At the same time, Kim Dong-gil’s voice was heard.

The battle had begun in earnest.

Push-. Push.

Students continued to spray fire extinguishers around them.

I tried to create as much ‘smoke’ as possible by swinging the fire extinguisher in all directions.

Ultimately, the effort was successful.

“I. Tongue, bro. I used up all the fire extinguishers.”

“Don’t ask, just keep using it.”

“yes yes!”

The student quickly grabbed another fire extinguisher and started shooting it indiscriminately.

White smoke billowed from the fire extinguisher, covering all directions.

No matter how much light you shine with a flashlight, it will be difficult for them to distinguish each other.

The entire third floor was already filled with smoke.

There were only nine fire extinguishers sprayed.

But a fire extinguisher is just a fire extinguisher.

It’s not a smoke bomb.

The fog will clear soon.

Before that, I just hope my plan works.

I looked ahead.

Their black silhouettes grew and shrunk.

It means moving quickly.

Everything is going as planned.

And now it is.

I said this while looking back at Kwon Kyung-soo who had just returned.

“Mr. Kyungsoo, it’s now. Hurry up.”

I gave an order to Kwon Kyung-soo, and he moved immediately, gasping for breath.

The main force holding the spear went down the stairs, and Kwon Kyung-soo’s special force went up.

The only ones left here were Lee Se-beom, Lee Joo-yeon, and me.

I told the two siblings.

“Remember, just kill one person and get out.”

The siblings nodded almost simultaneously.

The hand holding the goblin dagger was tightly tied with a towel.

The siblings each held a dagger and looked forward.

At this moment, my heart started beating like crazy.

A few minutes, no.

In a few seconds I will commit murder.

Soon several people ran into the nearby street.

“It’s now.”

Phew!

The moment they were confirmed in sight, we all rushed at once.

“Ouch… … Gyaak!!!”

The startled Qing team woman screamed, but without hesitation I stabbed her in the heart with the knife.

Phew!

And then I pushed him down with all my might.

Phu-shu-! Phu-shuuk!

The woman’s blood spurted out like a fountain.

The woman underneath me was struggling and screaming.

I sheathed the sword and turned the blade in a cross pattern.

Thud!

There was a sound of something breaking.

The goblin dagger broke, and the woman’s heart immediately stopped.

Thump, thump, thump!

My heart was pounding.

I ran like crazy.

I grabbed the kitchen knife she was holding.

When I turned my head, the two siblings each took care of one person.

They sent me a sign saying they killed him.

We stepped back again.

“Haa… … Haa… … .”

I had to hold my breath, but I was out of breath.

I moved carefully so as not to get into their sight.

What we just did was murder.

But I strongly demanded from both siblings.

Never, ever feel pity.

The moment our hearts weaken, it will be us who die, not the Blue Team.

A new era requires new laws, and the new law requires you to kill others to survive.

He demanded strongly.

And they did. Just as I said.

The surroundings were still thick with smoke.

The sound of the blue teams’ running footsteps filled the air.

At the same time, the screaming continued.

The operation is just beginning.

“Let’s get out. Hurry up.”

I ran back up the stairs, knife in hand.

Lee Se-beom and Lee Joo-yeon ran after me.

Now there wasn’t a single member of the Hong team left on the third floor.

* * *

The battle continued.

People were tangled together and stabbing each other with knives.

Smoke blocked people’s view.

That’s why, as soon as they saw the being emerging from the smoke, they stabbed it with their swords.

“Die!! Die!!!”

“Ahhhh!”

“Ugh!!!!”

Blood spurted out everywhere, accompanied by screams.

This place was already a slaughterhouse.

People with weapons tangled together and took each other’s lives.

Two women cling to a fallen man and stab him with knives, and the man runs toward the woman and stabs her in the stomach with a kitchen knife.

An old man with a hammer smashed a young man’s head from behind.

A woman who was shedding tears and struggling in the white smoke had her skull split open by an emergency escape axe flying from somewhere, like a knife stuck in a cake.

Several people formed a team and ran to the people they saw as soon as they saw them and tied their hands together.

“Over here! Stab!”

“Eww… … Ewww!!!”

The tied man screamed, but the man with the knife did not hesitate.

Pok! Pok! Pok!

Then another person who had been waiting rushed in and stabbed him in the stomach several times with a knife.

The store’s flashlight’s light swirled around, shooting out here and there.

Shadows cast by flashlights created cruel shadow performances, causing tragedies here and there.

There was a loud noise as the glass broke.

At the same time, a woman with a punctured lung died, calling out for her mother who would not come.

People’s corpses were piled up one after another.

Someone would often trip over a corpse and fall down.

Kim Dong-gil captured all those scenes with his own two eyes.

“Poohahahaha! How dare you… … How dare you ignore the kindness of people?!”

Kim Dong-gil watched the scene of the massacre with a smile, possessed by madness.

On either side of him, guards were looking around with their eyes wide open.

Kim Dong-gil checked his status window.

Because I was confident of victory.

But at that moment, his pupils constricted.

‘uh?’

The number of troops in the Blue Team was noticeably decreasing.

Kim Dong-gil glanced around.

I couldn’t see anything.

In the store, which was filled with darkness, the occasional lights were filled with white smoke.

I could see silhouettes of people running around, but I couldn’t tell who was who.

In a situation that is flowing with urgency.

The screams that could be heard were numerous.

Blood was already overflowing on the store floor.

But it was strange.

No matter how I thought about it, it was strange.

The red team is fighting evenly against the blue team.

‘There’s no way this is happening. Even if we try, it’s only twenty people?!’

The number of members on the blue team is overwhelmingly greater than that on the red team.

Even though their visibility was limited, it was absurd for them to oppose the Blue Team to this extent.

A man ran toward Kim Dong-gil, holding his bleeding arm.

“Hey, branch manager! The Hong team kids… … are holding knives!”

“what?”

That’s ridiculous.

Kim Dong-gil’s heart started beating like crazy.

He is the branch manager here.

The knives are only on the restaurant floor.

The weapons in the furniture and general store are also within the Blue Team’s territory, so they cannot possess them.

This is true.

Downstairs, all I could find was a pair of scissors and a knife.

A pair of scissors is no match for a kitchen knife.

But the Hong team counterattacks with swords?

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.

“Manager! I can’t see anything!”

“Hey, branch manager… …! The resistance from the Hong Team kids is too strong.”

People came running to him from all over to tell him the news.

Kim Dong-gil pushed up his glasses and thought.

A cold sweat formed on his left cheek.

No matter how much I thought about it, this didn’t make sense.

That moment.

Kim Dong-gil, who remembered something, shouted at the people.

“Back off!!! Stop!!! Blue Team!!! Back off!!!”

At his shout, people stopped fighting and retreated one by one to the escalators.

The other side was still filled with screams.

There were many dead and bleeding people.

Just the corpses that he had seen so far were more than seven.

“Get back quickly! Quickly! You idiots!!!”

Kim Dong-gil continued to shout, and the main force of the Blue Team rushed towards the escalator.

And soon, the whole Blue team gathered towards the escalator.

“Haa, haa.”

“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”

“Ugh… … Ugh!”

Here and there, people with wounds are gasping for breath.

Kim Dong-gil looked ahead.

But the battlefield without the Blue Team was eerily quiet.

At that moment, Kim Dong-gil felt his heart sink as if he was saying, “Oh no!”

“… … X foot. X foot, no way.”

Thud, thud.

Kim Dong-gil walked forward alone and silently.

A nearby subordinate tried to stop him, but he continued to walk ahead regardless.

Time has passed.

Soon the white smoke cleared.

The Blue Team’s lights illuminated the front.

And where the light shines.

Only the people of the Blue Team were lying on the ground, bleeding.

The Qing team’s troops who saw that sight could not help but fall into despair.

“What, what is this… … ?”

“… … So, are we killing each other up until now?”

The Hong team didn’t even show any injuries.

There was only the blue team.

The blue team has been fighting each other since then.

It now makes sense that the Hong team is holding a kitchen knife.

‘Damn… … I got screwed.’

Kim Dong-gil’s two clenched hands began to tremble.

Completely defeated.

I had completely fallen for the enemy’s trick.

Pia not identifiable.

People’s fears.

If so, I’ll just stab whatever creature is coming at me.

Moreover, these are ordinary citizens who have not undergone any professional training.

I was so scared that I tried anything.

“Branch manager… … Branch manager… … Please save me… … Please save me.”

The man who had collapsed, bleeding, grabbed Kim Dong-gil’s ankle.

His abdomen was ruptured by a knife wound.

Still, the man was begging Kim Dong-gil to spare his life.

But for Kim Dong-gil, there was no such thing as reason.

At that moment, Kim Dong-gil stomped on the man who had fallen on the other foot.

“You idiot! You little brat! Why! Are you fighting each other and losing?! Huh?! Huh?! Huh?! Don’t you have eyes?! Don’t you have any sense?! You little brat! You fu*king little brat! That’s why you’re going to be at the bottom your whole life! Huh! Huh?! You’re stupid! You’re so stupid!”

Knock, knock, knock!

Every time Kim Dong-gil stepped on it, blood spurted out everywhere.

The staff members ran over to him and said, leaving him excited.

“What should we do now? Can’t we just storm down to the first floor like this?”

“Kill all of these X cubs!”

“Haa… … Haa… … ”

Kim Dong-gil calmed down his excitement a little.

When he moved his foot slightly, there was a man’s face, distorted beyond recognition.

Kim Dong-gil looked around.

After they stabbed and cut each other.

It was rare to find a person with a healthy body.

If things continued this way, it would be annihilation.

At least the Red Team’s flag had to be protected.

The purpose has changed.

The Blue team, which had been attacking until now, changed its strategy.

Now it’s defense.

“Just grab the flag and go up. And on the 9th floor, defend it no matter what.”

Kim Dong-gil spoke about the flag monster in the store across the street.

The surprised subordinate stopped Kim Dong-gil.

“No! We have to go ahead and attack again! We can’t just take this, can we?”

Then Kim Dong-gil glared at his subordinate fiercely.

“Are you spitting on my words right now?”

Then, the employee who had been refuting hesitated and soon lowered his head.

“… … I will do as you command.”

The Red Team’s residence is probably fully prepared for a counterattack by now.

If we continue like this, we will all be wiped out.

The only good thing was that the Blue Team’s king wasn’t here.

That’s why the Blue team wasn’t wiped out in an instant.

Catching the target monster was easy.

The third floor was filled with the blood of the Blue Team, and this is where the announcement was heard.

[The Blue Team has captured the objective flag!]

And five minutes later, another announcement rang out.

[The Red Team has captured the objective flag!]

* * *

1st floor, Red Team Garrison.

A broadcast echoed throughout the garrison.

[The Blue Team has defeated the target monster!]

As expected, the Blue team killed the target monster.

Up to this point, it was expected.

The Hong team hid behind the barricade and aimed their arrows ahead.

But the Blue team didn’t come down any further.

Only then did I raise my head.

“Situation ended.”

As I spoke, only then did the other defense personnel relax.

The defensive operation was fortunately successful.

A situation where visibility is not secured.

Invisible enemy.

Maybe they’ll get tangled up with each other and kill each other.

Even if we see each other’s faces at close range, there’s nothing we can do.

They, like us, are people we have only known for two days.

The chances of us knowing each other’s faces are slim.

I took advantage of that and cleverly lured the enemies so that no damage was done to our side.

Luckily, the operation worked.

My role was merely to light the fuse.

The three students next to me spoke to me in amazement.

“Tongue, bro. That’s great! Did it really work?”

“Honestly, I didn’t think it would work. It was really great!”

“Brother, how were you able to come up with a plan in such a short time?”

The students were excited as if the game was over, but it wasn’t over yet.

“Keep your eyes on the front. It’s not over yet.”

“yes!”

“… … Yes! I understand!”

The students gathered their spirits and stood guard at the front again.

We still had the Red Team’s objective monster left.

Now their first attack has been blocked.

Now it was time to break through their defenses.

Not coming down here meant that the troops were diverted to defend the 9th floor.

“But since Kwon Kyung-soo went to the vanguard, wouldn’t he achieve some results?”

Lee Ju-yeon asked while leisurely chewing on the goblin jerky.

Kwon Kyung-soo and three other people took advantage of the chaos on the third floor and went up the stairs.

Your primary task is to kill monsters, but you probably won’t be able to do that.

If the enemy’s numbers were large or it seemed that they would lose, he ordered a retreat.

Sebeom spoke for me.

“I probably won’t be able to kill them. From what I saw earlier, it looks like not all of the Blue Team members came down, but they left defensive forces on the 9th floor as well.”

“Then what should we do?”

Lee Ju-yeon asked, seeming worried.

There is no other way.

To avoid the penalty, this person also had to get to the 9th floor.

But the enemies will already have their defenses set up.

It wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t like there was no way.

I gave instructions to the students again.

“Kids, get a new fire extinguisher. We’ll be back up in five minutes.”

The students nodded immediately and dispersed to get the fire extinguishers.

The people held their spears and waited for my command.

The re-attack comes after Kwon Kyung-soo returns.

And the timing was perfect.

Rattling-!

Kwon Kyung-soo came down from the stairs.

He came to me in one breath, took a breath, and then said.

“There were already about ten people guarding the monster. All I could do was distract it.”

“It’s okay. Thank you for your hard work.”

10 defending troops.

The number must have increased to several dozen by now.

In any case, the main purpose of this attack is not to subdue the Blue Team.

The target is a monster.

All that was needed was to kill the monsters.

I looked through my inventory.

Not a single bullet has been fired yet.

Now it’s time to use your guns.

Just kill the monsters with your gun and come down.

That was the crux of this attack.

I looked around at the people and said.

“We’re off again. Follow us.”

We had to attack before the enemies could reorganize their ranks.

I took the gun out of my inventory.

And he walked among them, followed by the prepared troops of the Red Team.

But when we stepped onto the escalator, a sound caught everyone’s attention.

[The Red Team has defeated the target monster!]

I looked back at Kwon Kyung-soo in surprise.

Then, Kwon Kyung-soo shook his head as if he also didn’t know what was going on.

How did this happen?

I stopped on the escalator and looked up at the upper floors.

There was only pitch darkness.

The deliberations soon led to one conclusion.

The regressor, Jin Jae-hee.

She was still on top.

‘But how?’

That was the question.
