Regression Is Too Much

23 – Boss too weak (3)

“… Kerruk. Keheugh… “

With the dying goblin shaman.

“Guuwoouk….”

A snorting Minotaur.

The crouching Minotaur’s body was tightly tied with a purple rope, the end of which was connected to the goblin shaman’s staff.

“…That’s bloody.”

Of course I’ve been killed by that monster before, but those were pathetic times… I was also stepped on so quickly.

That’s why I couldn’t feel how strong it was…

Now you can feel it face-to-face.

I can’t beat that. Never win

Such a monster… How strong do you have to be to win head-to-head without getting hit even once?

I just imagined it, but my head was dizzy.

“As you can see, this is the situation.”

Park Cheol-jin speaks calmly. I could understand now why he evacuated people.

If there was a monster like that lurking around the base camp, I would evacuate people too.

“… Jiwon Choi. What is it like to see for yourself? Can you win?”

“… “

Choi Ji-won can’t answer easily.

Her eyes were busy scanning the minotaur’s body.

“… Compatibility is not good. It’s so big, it doesn’t look like it’s easy to inflict fatal wounds.”

Choi Ji-won opened his mouth after a long struggle. Its content is undeniably negative.

Even Choi Ji-won, the strongest player on the human side, cannot guarantee victory.

I’ll say it again, but I still can’t react to Choi Ji-won’s ‘Speep’.

If I were to fight the Minotaur, I’d probably not last 5 seconds and return, and then I’d say ‘f*ck’ in a small voice.

“What if you, me, and Junho Kim join forces?”

“… I do not know.”

‘Mr. Cheoljin, I can’t fight… ‘ the desire to say was like a chimney.

I can’t say that even if I get hit by one, I can’t say that it will return…

But, doesn’t that thing move?

“Can’t we just slit his throat now that the seal is being maintained?”

If me, Park Cheol-jin, and Choi Ji-won aim for the neck at the same time, it seems possible to inflict fatal wounds.

He doesn’t move around, he’s just crouching…

If you hit the Minotaur’s neck with all your power, won’t it die?

“… Of course, we have thought of that too.”

However, Park Cheol-jin shook his head.

“Impossible. I’ve already done this and that. Touch it once.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s okay, just touch it.”

… What? Surely it’s not that big cow-headed monster?

“It’s really good.”

As if I was right, Park Cheol-jin pushes me on the back, asking me to touch that huge muscle mass.

“… Do you really touch me?”

“Ahhhhh….”

The Minotaur made a low cry as I approached. Staring at me with bloodshot eyes.

Calm down, Minota-kun. It’s not something I want to do…

“Ugh… “

Little by little, by the time my hand stretched out and finally touched the Minotaur’s fur.

Talk.

“… Eh?”

Something smooth, not the stiff hair of the Minotaur, touched my fingertips.

This is… It feels like touching glass.

Something like a spherical glass marble was wrapped around the Minotaur’s body.

“He is sealed, but at the same time he is protected. Amount of support… Could you possibly break that down?”

“… I don’t think so.”

“Ummm… Too bad.”

If you kill the boss, that glass marble will probably disappear.

But at the same time, the purple rope that restrained him will also disappear.

If you time it right, you might be able to deliver a blow to the Minotaur… The difficulty level will be much higher.

The guy who designed the tower is a real asshole.

He said that if he defeated the boss, everyone would be able to survive using the portal.

A ridiculous monster is sealed in front of the boss? If we all want to survive together, we have to get rid of him?

I’ve felt this before, but this tower is really good at creating sh*tty situations…

“Huh?”

An ominous sensation runs down my back.

My brain reviewed the worst case scenario… I came to the conclusion that this makes enough sense.

“… Mr. Park Cheol-jin?”

“My characteristic is that I have excellent defense… Huh? Why but?”

“By any chance, how many people know that there is a boss here?”

“… There are 4 people including me. They are all trustworthy.”

“… I’m so glad.”

Once again, this tower is leading to a f*cking situation.

This is the case with the golden beads.

Guys with fraudulent traits can easily get marbles, but let’s think about it from the point of view of an ordinary person with normal traits.

Choi Ji-Won is a monster, so he can easily chop it up, but it is very difficult for ordinary people to deal with mutant goblins.

It is a level that can barely be won if several ordinary people who have accumulated enough levels have to take the sacrifice and run into it.

Let’s imagine that about 15 ordinary people risked their lives to defeat a mutant goblin.

You will be given food that can last for 2 meals for 15 people, and one or two golden marbles.

What would you think?

After you finish eating this food, you will have to risk your life again. The person who was killed by the mutant goblin’s blind spear earlier could be me this time.

The leader tells them to wait until they find a golden orb for everyone to eat.

But there are only 50 golden marbles. Can I get 14 more?

Anxiety becomes distrust, and doubt becomes certainty.

A person who seemed like a colleague just a moment ago appears to be a competitor from a certain moment.

The predetermined future is ruin.

This is the afternoon of the 6th day.

Even now, there must be a death-to-death struggle between colleagues because of marbles somewhere.

“… I know that the golden orb induces mistrust in people. But what does that have to do with the boss?”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin asks me back.

He didn’t seem to know what I wanted to say.

“… If you kill the boss, the Minotaur will be released, right?”

“You call that a Minotaur? Yes, you will be released.”

“And there will be a portal.”

“… !”

“Do you understand now?”

When you kill the boss, a portal will appear.

At the same time, the Minotaur will be released, but the person who killed the boss simply needs to enter the portal right in front of them.

If you kill the boss… He can live as long as he does.

The boss is an old goblin who is dying. He won’t be difficult to kill.

“If I were in a desperate position… I think I killed the boss once.”

This tower is equipped with a very f*cking device.

Those who kill the boss can move on to the next level.

Of course, I’ll be out of the group, but… Human beings driven to extreme situations tend to be selfish.

Disaster begins when someone presses the escape button.

This tower is to induce division of people until the end.

“… This. Holy sh*t! Does God see us as toys!”

Bang!

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin, out of anger, strikes the trunk of a tree next to him.

He is a person who made a living as a firefighter who saves people.

Besides being nice… His heart for others must be much bigger than others.

To Park Cheol-jin, this space full of malice must feel unbearably unpleasant.

“… Whoa. I’m going to cool down a bit.”

He gnashed his teeth and left.

“… Junho Kim. I’ll calm down for a bit and come back. When emotions run high… My body won’t listen.”

Choi Ji-won, who spews murderous blood, also disappeared somewhere while stroking his sword.

“… Where are you all going?”

What’s left of this space now…

“Guuu… “

A Minotaur with eyes wide open.

“Keeuuu… “

There was only one old goblin who was out of breath.

After watching for a while, I carefully sat down next to the goblin shaman.

Wow, look at how his arms with his cane are shaking.

“… Whew.”

To be honest, I’m done with regression.

My goal is to collect the rewards from the 0th floor, not to kill the Minotaur.

He says he wants the reward he will get from killing him, but he has no intention of banging his head against an impossible task.

Besides, there is no need to find a solution now.

Next episode. And in the next round, I might come up with a brilliant solution.

You think you can’t beat the Minotaur even if you repeat regression?

Then you just have to swallow a golden orb.

“It’s too early to worry about that.”

But it’s too early to give up now.

There is still time, and there is no guarantee that the same environment as this time can be created next time.

As can be seen in the case of Kim Gun-do’s father, it is because the future changes with very trivial occasions.

Also, Choi Ji-won seems to trust me in his own way. The friendships that have been built are not worth it.

If you are really driven to a dead end, you will return, but until then you should try what you can and you will have no regrets.

Now… Let’s think. Let’s recall the timeline for a moment.

“… Hmm.”

The Minotaur attacked the clearing around noon on the 7th day. And now it is the afternoon of the 6th day.

Whether the goblin shaman died a natural death or was killed by someone trying to escape.

If things go the same way as the past episodes, he will die tomorrow.

I would stop it if it happened to someone, but… Natural death is not the answer.

Assuming that the goblin shaman died of natural causes, the remaining time limit is about 20 hours.

Is there any better way to kill that big cow-headed monster in 20 hours…

“Keheuk… human… It smells human… “

Hmm… Shall I dig up and bury it? If it’s Mr. Kim Goon-do, maybe it’s possible.

“Human… !”

“… Eh?”

“Help… need help… Kerruk… Cool… “

“… What is this?”

Day 6. Afternoon.

A goblin shaman talked to me.
