I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

42 – War (4)

Even before the expedition and the corrupters collided in earnest.

Climbers except Han Seo-yeon and Nam Hyun-woo were handling the mission assigned by Nam Hyun-woo in the jungle.

“Kill!”

“Here comes again from the right!”

… The sight of dead bodies everywhere was pretty horrifying.

Such horror touched Snow White even more.

Because her eyes could see dead things very well.

I’m not talking about the body.

… The ugly ghosts that should not be seen by the living were reflected in her eyes.

However, she endured the scenery silently.

Because I chose this path knowing that it would be like this in order to be of help to my lover.

Written in the book she received as a reward for the special dungeon.

Necromancers stand in the realm of the living and peek into the realm of the dead.

These were the ones who borrowed power from the spirits in exchange for acting on the grudges of the dead.

At this time, the grudges of the dead are diverse.

Although strong ghosts dream of revenge with a clear target.

Or, depending on the vague memories of life, they harbor a strange obsession.

He was jealous of the living and breathing, and even spewed out indiscriminate hatred over his dead self.

… If you accept those grudges one by one.

It was only natural that the necromancer’s end was a madman.

It wasn’t for Snow White.

She thought there was only one person who could whisper in her ear.

Of course, I had no intention of listening to the grudges of the dead.

And she had the power to make it happen.

Supernatural ─ Domination.

From noble mtl dot com

Although I never actively used it to manage my image in front of Nam Hyun-woo.

… Because that was not the power to seek the consent of the other party.

Her intangible chain stretched out from her center.

– Charreureuk.

I caught the ghosts with an inaudible sound.

‘──!!!’

‘… !’

‘─.─-─!!’

The ghosts tried to resist.

Dominance Was a force too high in rank for the dead to resist.

They soon became docile and began to faithfully follow Snow White’s orders.

Perhaps she won’t become a madman possessed by her ghostly soul.

… I don’t know if I become a madman through another opportunity.

“Swallow.”

After that, it was just a familiar procedure.

Like I’ve been doing all night.

Let the haunted spirits grow stronger by eating the flesh of the corpse.

After that, the spirit that has grown stronger enters the skeletal corpse and becomes a new undead, hunting the corrupt beasts of the jungle with dark green eyes.

In the corpses that are gradually piling up due to the ever-increasing number of undead and climbers.

She suddenly remembered Nam Hyeon-woo from yesterday.

‘Is my brother okay?’

My older brother is trying to overturn the unfavorable war.

I want to help his brother, who was even considering a plan to electrocute himself.

She confessed her strength, which she had been trying hard to hide so that no one would look at her with disgust.

… My brother did not show even a hint of disgust.

To the point where I’ve been worrying so much like an idiot.

Even when the fact that others deal with death reflects subtle disgust and fear.

My brother was worried that I would be adversely affected by the ghosts, but he did not harbor any negative feelings towards me.

It was a strange thing.

Considering how he reacted when he saw a zombie or killed a person, he’s definitely not the type of person who is calm about death.

Casting a corpse… In a way, necromantic art that insults death is nothing?

However.

Before you even ask such a question.

The emotion in my brother’s eyes explained everything.

Total trust and affection for a human named Snow White.

… That’s right.

My brother was such a person.

Unlike being infinitely sharp and wary of enemies.

A person who is infinitely obedient to the people behind the fence.

‘And I’m clearly inside the fence.’

It makes me happy to remember that fact again.

“Ehehehe.”

She let out a cute laugh that didn’t match the terrifying scenery.

Kang Dae-san and his friends, who had been collecting her corpse in the jungle all night, saw her laughing amidst the mountain of corpses.

Lee Seon-hwa looked back at her quietly.

She didn’t care.

“Seo-ah, do you think you still need more?”

“A little more please, sister.”

“…Okay.”

But the work had to be done.

Especially if it’s for Nam Hyun-woo.

Capturing her heart, she poured her magic into the necklace she was wearing.

“Be careful.”

As well as from her necklace, which was a reward from a special dungeon.

– Kuung.

A corpse large enough to block the river came out, crushing the corpses around it.

It was in the shape of a turtle.

It was none other than Han Seo-yeon and Nam Hyeon-woo’s catch.

Although she was the one who quickly retrieved her corpse that had been washed away in the river and turned it into an undead.

Is it because of this giant, or was it because the level in life was too high?

It was a nuisance that could not be handled properly even after making it undead.

However, Beksul tried to solve this problem in a simple way.

“Rotten.”

The corpses he had piled up while slaughtering the Fallen Beasts rotted away and nourished the ghosts around him.

“Move.”

The ghosts that moved according to the command were absorbed into the turtle’s soul one after another.

Like that.

It’s been a while.

Looks like that’s enough for now.

– Goo Woo-woong.

The tortoise, with only its bones and shell, stood up.

“…Advance.”

An army of already dead ones with dark green eyes like that.

I headed to the battlefield where Corruptors and Orcs were entangled.

* * *

─And now we have arrived.

“…You’re finally here.”

Defend the bite attack of the undead turtle exiled that Seol-i brought.

The undead army that followed rushed towards the corrupters according to Seol-i’s command.

At first, even the Orcs of the expedition seemed embarrassed.

Anyway, once I figured out that they were allies, I rushed at them.

In the meantime, the black snake, unable to pierce the tortoise’s shell, raises its head.

Han Seo-yeon climbed on the guy’s head and cut out his eyes.

“Charah—!”

I began dismantling the scales of the snake moaning in pain one by one.

‘… How are you hanging on?’

While Seoyeon struggles with the black snake while maintaining her balance with an incomprehensible technique.

I turned and looked for my sword.

Now then.

“Oh.”

A leopard undead gave me a sword.

“Thank you…”

At that pet-like behavior, when I tried to pet his head, he ran away in a fit of panic.

‘No why….’

Although she almost got hurt.

“Brother, this is the way to stroke it.”

“…hahahaha.”

“hehehe…”

It must have been Seol-i’s little prank.

– Ssukseuk.

So instead of her pet, she is stroking Seol-i’s head and recovering from her mental fatigue.

Lee Seon-hwa is approaching.

“We will then join the battlefield.”

“Couldn’t you take some more rest?”

“I’ve had enough rest.”

I should have just arrived.

I wonder if it’s overdoing it.

I couldn’t tell you to rest when I saw the expedition being pushed back by the rampaging corrupters.

“…In that case, please.”

“Yes. Gladly.”

“Don’t die.”

Even though she had no choice but to tell her to go, she added worry in her conscience.

“I will.”

She turned her back on Lee Seon-hwa, who looked somehow happy, and left.

I couldn’t get rid of the uncomfortable feeling again.

… It’s because Lee Seon-hwa’s magic power increased again.

What is it?

‘It’s not like they’re stealing my abilities.’

… Anyway.

Other climbers followed Seonhwa Lee to the battlefield.

That’s how the corrupters are undead, climbers, and expeditions.

When Seoyeon took over as the exile, I had nothing to do.

… I can’t do anything with this body anyway.

Since I’m watching the war while being protected by Seol-i.

At the front, the climbers gained the upper hand.

─Haktan decapitated one of the fallen elite warriors.

Seoyeon then cut off the head of the black snake.

‘Is this the end?’

Something feels ambiguous.

Isn’t it because I didn’t finish it?

It’s a good thing though.

“Hmm, it’s easier than I thought.”

I spoke kindly to Seoyeon, who landed next to me.

“No.”

“Huh?”

An unexpected answer came back.

“…The Exile is not dead.”

“What…?”

It’s a strange story.

Obviously the black snake’s head is rolling over there, but how is it alive?

Han Seo-yeon was also keeping silent as if she didn’t know.

hahahahaha, she wanted to run away from the beginning.

In the previous round, he should have escaped without cutting the exile’s head.

Doesn’t she know everything about the tower?

You can’t know what you haven’t experienced.

I took my eyes off her severed head to take a closer look at the outcast, then turned my head to the remaining torso.

“Huh?”

“What….”

… For some reason, the body was slowly waking up.

It was quite bizarre that the snake’s body, as if it had cut a rubber hose, caused it.

The scene that followed was even worse than that.

Inside the wriggling snake’s body.

Because a hand sticks out while holding on to the cutting edge.

It grabbed the cut surface as if trying to get out of a hole.

It made me have an ominous imagination for a moment.

“Seoyeon—.”

“I know.”

Me and Seoyeon sensed the danger at the same time.

Although Seoyeon, who could move, ran towards her hand at all.

– Caang!

As soon as I got close, I was hit by something and bounced off.

Fortunately, it landed stably as if it had been defended with a sword.

In the next scene that followed, I was able to clear all my doubts about the outcast.

‘How did an outcast with no regeneration survive?’

‘Why was the outcast who was an orc taking the form of a snake?’

That’s not an outcast regeneration.

… Because he had parasitic powers.

The upper body of the corruptor protruding from the cut edge of the snake was proof of that.

“Huh.”

‘It has all the f*cking power.’

From noble mtl dot com

Is it said that snakes swallow their prey whole?

If I had stopped breathing completely before I ate, I wouldn’t have suffered like that.

It was just pitiful.

… So.

How can I defeat that half-orc half-snake monster?

“Can you do it?”

“…I don’t know.”

Rarely, a regressor who is not confident of victory.

Seol-i, who is next to her, just stares at the scene in awe.

I couldn’t come up with the right answer.

“How the heck…”

“Hmm, don’t worry too much.”

While the despair subsided little by little.

A familiar voice came from behind.

“The test on the first floor has already been completed.”

“What?”

“Even if it’s a tower, I won’t tell you to grab something like that from the 1st floor.”

‘… It’s like that in trials.’

No. That’s not what’s important

Who the hell are you talking about the tower?

I turned my head and tried to confirm its identity.

“…!”

Suddenly.

The middle of the battlefield.

Haktan radiated tremendous momentum.

Let’s not dare to turn our backs and look at him.

… Behind his back.

More colorful and gigantic than anything I’ve ever seen.

The soul of a warrior had risen.
