Regression Is Too Much

22 – The boss is too weak (2) (Modified)

I put the food in the clearing first, and after I finished the call, I started walking through the forest following Park Cheol-jin’s guidance.

‘… It’s good that I didn’t come back like this.’

In the first place, it was only once until the 6th day.

In the past, when I was sitting idle in an empty lot, there was no event like this.

It’s the first time I’ve even heard of finding a boss.

Then it should be seen as the butterfly effect that I called people into the vacant lot… I don’t know why the future has changed.

“… “

From noble mtl dot com

“… “

Park Cheol-jin and Choi Ji-won just walk in silence.

The atmosphere was a little goofy, but I decided to just ask what I was curious about.

“How did you know about us?”

Choi Ji-Won’s eyebrows twitched slightly because he said ‘we’, but he didn’t refute.

For reference, it was early afternoon on the 2nd day when Park Cheol-jin left the vacant lot. It was after that that Choi Ji-won distributed food.

That means there is no point of contact between the two.

“… Mr. Kim Gun-do told me.”

Park Cheol-jin answered my questions obediently.

“By the way, who are you?”

“Kim Gun-do.”

“… “

I have no idea. Who is Kim Gun-do?

It’s as if someone you don’t know says ‘Huh? Isn’t that Junho? Nice to meet you!”

“I am a member of your group who came here… He doesn’t seem to know the name.”

“Does it have any characteristics?”

“Dig a lot of ground.”

“Ah!”

It seems that the old digger’s name was Kim Gun-do.

“Originally, it seemed like they were going to slowly dig the ground in the empty lot for five days… There were too many people, so they said they couldn’t stand the frenzy. They are now part of our group.”

“… Aha.”

Kim Goon-do, who disappeared on the night of the 5th day in the previous episodes.

It seems that I left the lot earlier than the scheduled time because I dragged people into the clearing.

And somehow, it seems that he has joined the group of firefighters.

Is this the butterfly effect? It’s a strange feeling.

“We have arrived.”

How long did it take? Finally, Park Cheol-jin stopped walking.

“… Wow.”

There were 3 wooden houses that looked like they were built here. The size is a little small, but the build quality is very good.

“Did you make it yourself?”

“No. There was a carpenter in our group, whose talent was the ability to easily process wood. It is his work.”

“Oh, maybe your name is…” ?”

“… He was killed by a mutant goblin.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, when Park Cheol-jin left the clearing, he didn’t believe in the status window or the tower at all.

This is all a joke… He was a stubborn old man.

A person like that now naturally uses the words ‘character’ or ‘mutant goblin’.

How many hardships must there have been before he accepted this newspaper article.

I feel like my heart is getting heavy for no reason.

“By the way, no one is there?”

The log cabin was empty.

There are traces of people living there, but there are no people, so it feels a little strange.

“… “

The atmosphere suddenly becomes chilly.

What is this?

Maybe… Did everyone die from the boss except Park Cheol-jin?

Did I just commit Tallulah?

“…Hiding far away.”

It wasn’t Tallulah. Thank god.

But the words are a bit strange. Why are you hiding?

“… Whoa.”

Ajae Park Cheol-jin, sitting down on a wooden chair, took a deep breath and stared at us with sharp eyes.

“… Before showing the boss, I want to ask an honest question.”

“… “

Choi Ji-won, who has been staring at somewhere in silence since earlier. I finally answered

“Yes, you can.”

Park Cheol-jin still doesn’t take his eyes off us. He asked carefully.

“You guys… How did you learn the sword?”

“… “

“… “

This time I was also speechless. Because I know why he is so wary.

I’ll say it again, today is the 6th day since I entered the tower.

And Choi Ji-won and I are too good at swordsmanship to have studied on our own for 6 days.

Honestly, in modern times, what’s the point of using a knife even if you don’t know about a gun?

An extremely common sense question, ‘Where did you learn how to use a sword?’

The question I once had with Choi Ji-won also applied to me this time.

“… I will tell you first.”

It was Choi Ji-won who spoke first.

“My father was a master of kendo.”

“… Criminal?”

“A typical kendo instructor should be familiar, but a 5th dan instructor. The 8th dan is called Beomsa. I learned how to handle a real sword from my father.”

… Indeed.

There was a reason Choi Ji-won was good at using a sword.

I have a kendo master as my father, and with that I can handle a sword well.

In retrospect, Choi Ji-won had never shown such a flashy swordsmanship.

Choi Ji-won type 1! I mean, I’ve never written anything like this.

The basics are solid, and the physical ability is overwhelming, so it’s just too strong.

“… I also have some kinship with the people there. Can I know your father’s name?”

Park Cheol-jin slowly asks if something is coming.

“… Cheolja Choi. Net sleep. He writes.”

“… Ah.”

Cheolsoon Choi.

I think it’s a name Park Cheol-jin knows.

“That… My father’s matter… “

“It’s okay.”

Park Cheol-jin is extremely apologetic, and Choi Ji-won calmly replies that he is fine.

What is it? What is this mood Why are you talking about what only they know?

“…You would know without asking, right?”

“I can feel it.”

A meaningless conversation passed, followed by a moment of awkward silence.

“That… Shall I talk too?”

Now it’s my turn.

“I… I got swordsmanship after coming to the tower.”

“… Did you get it?”

“This is a trait. The name is swordsmanship. The grade is B. The knowledge that I don’t even know is stuck in my head at some point.”

“… “

The name of the operation will be ‘Moll?

The tower gave me swordsmanship. I don’t know. Ask the tower for details!

Of course, the tower does not operate a window for inquiries. Park Cheol-jin is speechless at the perfect excuse that can only be used inside the tower.

“… Jiwon Choi. Can you trust this man’s skills?”

“… I think it’s top tier.”

“Yes. If you are, then so be it.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin nods after hearing Choi Ji-won’s testimony.

“In my heart, I want to see Kim Jun-ho’s skills, but…”

He sank deeply into his chair and stared into my eyes.

“We’re running out of time. Things are pretty tough.”

“…Troublesome?”

“You know about the message window that popped up about the boss?

“Yeah, what…”

-Clear Condition 1: If you swallow the ‘Golden Orb’ hidden somewhere in the forest, you can move on to the next stage. However, there are only 50 golden orbs.

-Clear condition 2: Defeat the boss, goblin shaman, and a portal will be created to move on to the next stage.

“Won’t you wonder why we found the boss and didn’t kill it right away?”

In hindsight, it was.

If you kill the boss, a portal to the next stage will open.

And at first glance, Park Cheol-jin is quite strong. With that big axe, his muscles, and the flowing aura, he was proving that he was strong.

Why did such a strong man take a long step to find us without killing the boss at once?

“…If you see it for yourself, you will understand the situation. Follow me.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin gets up from his seat and starts walking somewhere.

“…Shall we go?”

“I have to go.”

Me and Choi Ji-won followed suit.

“It was a mere coincidence that I found the boss. Gundo Kim was digging and found a goblin tunnel.”

The more I walked, the more familiar it smelled.

Familiar role… The smell of the swamp. It seems to be heading towards the outskirts of the forest.

“Exploring the goblin lair… There was one exit to the surface. That’s when I found the way.”

I called people to the vacant lot, and Mr. Kim Gun-do escaped from the vacant lot earlier than planned.

The mysterious butterfly effect that Park Cheol-jin found the boss when he started digging here.

“… “

But the time to think about that was gradually disappearing.

Feels like your skin is tingling. Feeling the back of your neck stand up.

I can feel the presence. The guy was angry.

“Now, that is the boss goblin shaman.”

New fluid. New fluid.

Just as he said, an old goblin was breathing heavily.

Anyone could tell that he was a goblin shaman.

What is unusual is that the boss looks extremely bad.

The green blood dripping from his mouth seemed like it would pass if he pushed it lightly.

“… If you kill that weak-looking guy, the portal will open, right?”

“Yes.”

A goblin shaman is standing on a complex pattern and muttering something nonstop.

“… This is a bit difficult.”

The problem isn’t the goblin shaman.

“Gu Woo-wook… Woowoowook.”

Wriggling muscles.

A look full of madness.

A colossal ax held tightly in one’s hand.

The body is humanoid, but the head is that of a cow.

The boss, the goblin shaman, was struggling to keep the seal.

The seal that restrains the Minotaur, the monster that killed me in one blow.
