The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 201

Episode 201. The Ruler of Seoul (1)

'You don't need me anymore?'

Jin Jae-hee looked up at Kang Jun-ho.

He stood still and manipulated the artifact.

Kang Jun-ho's artifact ability is gravity.

One of the floats he made using gravity was as large as a building.

It was quite a sight to see them rise up around Kang Jun-ho and fall to the ground.

Kang Jun-ho was a man with abilities that rivaled those of a god.

In Jin Jae-hee's previous life, there were no strong people like Kang Jun-ho or Woo Ji-hye.

The two existing S-class players will of course still be healthy, but the new powerhouses have already surpassed them.

Jin Jae-hee felt a new sense of emotion as she looked at Kang Jun-ho.

He is a man who was originally supposed to be by Kang Shi-on's side.

After many years, the two brothers were finally able to meet. In the same space, at the same time, on the same battlefield.

At the moment of his brother's reunion, Jin Jae-hee felt complicated because he didn't know what he should do.

Should I just say, “Well done,” and congratulate him without emotion?

What happens to me when two brothers meet?

Jin Jae-hee turned her gaze away from Kang Jun-ho and looked at the blood-stained ground.

At that time, Kang Jun-ho's subordinate Lee Ju-yeon approached Jin Jae-hee.

Lee Joo-yeon spoke to Jin Jae-hee without any emotion.

“Extend your arm.”

Jin Jae-hee and Lee Joo-yeon knew each other.

Lee Ju-yeon used her artifact ability to create a green thread and began to suture Jin Jae-hee's wounds.

The green room had a healing effect.

The threads covered Jin Jae-hee's exposed flesh and turned into skin.

It was a top-class healing ability.

Lee Joo-yeon has always taken good care of people.

In the first round, when Kang Si-on was in danger, Lee Ju-yeon saved him.

In her previous life, she was a person who died trying to save her younger brother, Lee Se-beom.

A person with a good nature.

But now, Lee Joo-yeon in front of Jin Jae-hee had empty eyes as if she had lost all her emotions.

Jin Jae-hee, who was looking at Lee Joo-yeon like that, carefully opened his mouth.

"……you."

“Don't say anything.”

Lee Ju-yeon cut her off.

And after suturing the last wound, she naturally returned to Kang Jun-ho's side.

At that moment, someone kicked Jin Jae-hee from behind.

Phew-!

Jin Jae-hee fell forward weakly.

Chae Chae-yeon screamed at the fallen girl.

“You- bug-like- bitch-!!! I told you-! I told you!!! Puhahahahaha! You’ll regret it!”

Jin Jae-hee slowly raised his head, holding his wound.

Chae Chae-yeon was furious with her face crumpled.

Then she looked at Kang Jun-ho.

Brothers were brothers.

The two look alike.

Of course, Kang Jun-ho's height and build were greater than his brother's, but other than that, they were exactly the same.

Cold and sharp eyes.

An overwhelming atmosphere.

And even the voice.

Kang Jun-ho asked Jin Jae-hee in a cold tone.

“Where is my brother now?”

Jin Jae-hee did not answer.

Then Kang Jun-ho raised his finger from top to bottom.

Phew-!

Jin Jae-hee quickly rose into the air and flew towards Kang Jun-ho.

She groaned in pain, as if she was having trouble breathing.

Kang Jun-ho asked again.

“I don’t have time to waste time with you. Tell me where your brother went.”

“… …I know what you’re going to do.”

At Jin Jae-hee's words, Kang Jun-ho asked back with a sharp look in his eyes.

“I’m your family. I’m just going to protect you, and the more time you spend like this, the more dangerous it’ll be for you.”

“… … .”

"however."

Kang Jun-ho's voice became low.

And then he looked up and down Jin Jae-hee's body.

“I heard you were strong… …. Seeing you lying there helpless, with one arm missing, I can’t even imagine that you were safe by my brother’s side. Are you really the one who protected your brother?”

“… … Cluck! … … Cluck!”

Jin Jae-hee was at his limit.

My breath was so caught in my throat that I felt like I would lose consciousness at any moment.

Kang Jun-ho made her suffocate to the point of death, then released his strength.

Thud-!

The once powerful Jin Jae-hee now fell to the floor powerlessly.

Kang Jun-ho gave the order.

“Lee Joo-yeon.”

"……huh."

“Stay and watch over this woman. She might be your favorite tool.”

"……huh."

Kang Jun-ho left those words behind and flew up onto the building.

“I know I’ll kill you when I get back! You worm- bitch! B*tch!”

Chae Chae-yeon stuck out her tongue and followed Kang Jun-ho.

And after that.

Shushu shushush!

Hundreds of people moving quickly between the rooftops of buildings.

They were reinforcements from Suwon.

Of course, they were all Kang Jun-ho's faithful 'tools'. Tools that only moved as their master used them.

“… … .”

Jin Jae-hee lay face down on the floor, gasping for breath.

Lee Ju-yeon looked down at her quietly and then squatted down.

Then he whispered into the back of Jin Jae-hee's blood-stained head.

“You… … . think this is right?”

“… … .”

Jin Jae-hee did not answer.

Whether she answered or not, Lee Ju-yeon continued speaking.

“We should never have let those two men meet.”

Lee Ju-yeon clenched her fists and trembled.

“… … It’s all over now.”

Jin Jae-hee couldn't immediately understand what she meant.

* * *

A vast underground space of unknown origin.

The light formed a single beam that illuminated only the center, and within that beam of light, three men were lying side by side.

One man was Kang Shi-on, and the other two men were the two bald cult leaders.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The first one to wake up was a man with bald head.

And then he looked around with a frightened expression.

“Big brother.”

Following this, other bald cult leaders also rose up.

“… … .”

“My brother is gone… … !”

“Brother… … . Brother… … .”

“My big brother… … . My big brother died… … ? Oh… … .”

“Eughhhhhhhhhhh! Aaaahhhhhhh!”

The cult leaders were triplets.

The three were three people and at the same time one.

The one that Kang Si-on killed with a stone knife was the eldest brother among the cult leaders.

Originally, the three of them had one body due to the artifact's ability.

And the second of the surviving brothers ran towards the fallen Kang Shi-on with bloodshot eyes.

“I’ll kill you!”

“How dare you… … . How dare you… … !!!”

The youngest also ran after the second.

Before they could approach, Kang Shi-on got up on his knees and raised his head.

'I never thought they would be three brothers.'

One was definitely deleted, but the other two survived.

Of course, the other two heads were now nothing more than husks that had lost their power.

The leaders swung their fists.

Boohoo-!

Unlike other fighters like Jin Jae-hee and Choi Myeong-jun, the two men's fists were slow and weak.

Bam! Bam!

Of course, those two slow and weak fists were also fatal to Kang Shi-on.

Zion had also used up all of her artifact abilities, so she had no choice but to respond bare-handed.

Zion's fist struck the second man's philtrum.

Phew-!

Two teeth from the man's head popped into the air.

“Kah-ha-ak… … !”

The second head fell backwards.

“Second brother!”

A man with bald head hugged Kang Shi-on from behind.

Kang Shi-on took advantage of the gap in the guy's embrace and lay down on his back.

Kwajik-!

The youngest, Min-meori, broke his ribs under the weight of Kang-shi-on.

At that moment, the second head of the family ran towards Kang Shi-on again, nosebleed gushing out.

And he swung his fist powerfully.

Even though Zion was still, the leader's fist did not reach him.

Second, Min-meori started swinging his fists wildly as if he was throwing a tantrum.

Kang Shi-on hit Min-meori's cheek with his fist, taking several hits and hitting him accurately.

“Ahhh… … !”

The second youngest, Min-meori, fell down again, and the youngest, Min-meori, screamed and ran towards Kang-shion.

And then he finally caught Kang Shi-on from behind.

The youngest, Min-meori, shouted.

“Now! Brother! Kill me!”

“I’ll kill you. F**k you!”

Kang Shi-on tried to escape from the arms of the youngest, Min-meori.

He tried to force himself back again and fall backwards, but the youngest, Min-meori, read Kang Si-on's thoughts and held on with both legs.

Thanks to that, the second head of the group approached in one breath and started throwing punches.

“fu*k! fu*k! Die! Die!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Second, Min-meori continued to hit Kang-shi-on's stomach.

Even while throwing punches, Min-meori continued to chatter among himself.

“That fu*king punk asshole! F**k!”

“We have to catch that crazy guy too!”

“You keep trying to kill the monsters while ignoring our attacks!”

“Die quickly. F**k! I have to go and stop that thug!”

“It’s our kingdom, brother. Our kingdom!”

"I can't take it to the other."

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Kang Shi-on was hit a few times, then grabbed the hand of the youngest, Min-meori, who was holding him back.

And then it all fell on my back in one fell swoop.

Whirik-!

The youngest, Min-meori's body, floated into the air on Kang Si-on's back.

This was a judo technique that Jin Jae-hee had taught Kang Si-on. It was a technique that could instantly subdue an opponent, no matter how much smaller they were.

Bang!

The two heads collided with each other and fell to opposite sides.

Kang Shi-on sat there for a while, breathing heavily.

The three players who were once powerful enough to level a city were now engaging in a dogfight that even school children wouldn't engage in.

The two bald men got up again and rushed at Kang Shi-on.

Kang Si-on recalled Jin Jae-hee's teachings.

Make a fist and raise it to eye level.

Maintain balance between your upper and lower body and wait for the enemy to come within striking range.

When the enemy gets close enough, prepare to attack.

A jab is not a swing, it's a reach.

And then he uses all his lower body strength to thrust his fist in one breath.

Until the last ankle twist.

'now.'

Kang Si-on stretched out his fist as Jin Jae-hee had taught him.

Boohoo- boom!

The second head, Min-meori, who was approaching from the front, was knocked unconscious by one of Kang Si-on's jabs.

The youngest, Min-meori, swung his fist.

Kang Si-on learned all aspects of fighting techniques from Jin Jae-hee, including boxing, judo, and systema.

There was no way that the two bald heads, swinging their swords carelessly, could reach them.

Boohoo-!

The man's fist split the air.

Kang Si-on recalled Jin Jae-hee's voice again.

– When you knock someone out in one blow, there's nothing better than a chin. A chin that's strong enough to break the lower jaw. Slightly diagonal, rather than straight ahead. That's what I'm saying.

Bam.

At that moment, Jin Jae-hee's outstretched fist lightly touched Kang Si-on's lower jaw.

My head felt like it was ringing even though I only touched it lightly.

Jin Jae-hee always emphasized combat training other than artifacts.

Jin Jae-hee always said to Kang Si-on.

When artifact players put all their effort into it and still can't come to a conclusion, they'll have no choice but to fight with their fists.

There are quite a few cases like this, and he said it was a lesson he had learned from his past life.

At first, Kang Shi-on questioned her teachings.

These are players with the ability to shake the world.

Are those players just learning and using the fighting techniques that ordinary people use?

At the time, he couldn't easily understand, but since Jin Jae-hee was a regressor, he had no choice but to believe it.

And the fruition of that faith is right now.

It was at this moment that we met.

Kang Shi-on's fist landed hard on the youngest, Min-meori's jaw.

Phew-!

The youngest's lower jaw turned to the opposite side.

"ah……."

The youngest, Min-meori, touched his lower jaw, which had fallen, but he could no longer endure it and fell backwards.

In this way, Kang Shi-on subdued the two men.

After the two men fell, there was silence for a while.

Zion's legs gave out and he fell to one knee.

dump.

“Huh… … . Phew… … . Phew.”

And then he let out a ragged breath.

At that moment, it rose into the sky again.

It was the sign that appeared when the North King monster died.

The fact that this sign appeared means that Choi Myung-jun finally did it.

Zion looked up at the notification window with trembling eyes.

[The King of the North, the monster has died.]

[Seo-wang, the monster has died.]

[The final winners have been decided.]

[Winner, South King. East King.]

[The stakes in this war are distributed. The distribution of territory and the ruler are determined based on the stakes.]

[South King 99.98%. East King 0.02%]

[Congratulations.]

[You have won.]

[The ruler of Seoul is the ruler of the South, Kang Shi-on.]

As soon as he saw that notification window, Kang Shi-on let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed like a huge storm had passed.

Kang Shi-on now poured out all his strength and fell backwards, completely exhausted.

The floor was hard and covered with sharp rocks.

If you fall down like that, you could get seriously hurt.

But it wasn't the land that received him.

Wow-.

It was his younger brother, Jun-ho.

“… … .”

Junho's face was distorted with sadness.
