Regression Is Too Much

24 – Boss too weak (4)

“Yes, goblin shaman. Need help?”

“… Kerruk. Keruk.”

“… Why don’t you talk.”

Where did you learn to chew after talking first?

It feels as if a woman sent a phone call and replied with half excitement and anticipation, but no reply came.

If you’re going to do that, don’t talk… I mean don’t put your finger in my heart… !

“Keruk… “

“… “

“Keruk… I know you’re listening Human… ! I need help!”

A goblin shaman who repeats what he said about being senile.

When I took a closer look at his face, I saw that his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were white.

If a goblin shaman were to participate in the ‘Old Goblin Contest’, the visuals would quickly emerge as a strong candidate for the championship.

“Human… ! Keruk… “

“… “

At first, I thought he was talking nonsense because he was senile…

Hey, aren’t your ears just really bad?

As if dealing with an elderly person, I cautiously approached the side and spoke into the guy’s ear.

“… Can you hear me? Keruk?”

“Keruk… ! Human! There was too! Cool, cool… hehehe… “

“… “

… It was really hard to hear.

“Keruk… human… “

“Why do you keep calling me human?”

“Keruk… Don’t you guys also call me a goblin shaman, not a name? Keruk.”

“… “

It was so right that I couldn’t find anything to refute. Is this the wisdom that comes from age?

“Keruk… help… need help… “

A goblin shaman who cries out that he needs help.

“That monster… We must kill the intruder… Keruk… “

A goblin shaman struggling to point at the Minotaur with his non-holding hand.

Come to think of it, it was strange.

This island? Forest? In any case, there were no monsters in this space other than goblins.

Of course, there is no water and no animals, so it is an environment that cannot be considered a normal ecosystem…

Whatever it was, they were enemies, and all that popped out were goblins.

Suddenly, a Minotaur as a hidden boss? It’s a situation that anyone would be curious about.

“Keruk… Under the island… Originally there was an ancient labyrinth… Keruk… “

The goblin shaman slowly begins to explain.

“Because it was a closed labyrinth… Everyone had no idea… Keruk… “

“… “

“Keruk… However, a young goblin, while playing tag in the labyrinth, unsealed the ancient demon… Keruk… “

The unleashed demon of the labyrinth. Goblins being slaughtered.

The Goblin Shaman, the head of Goblin Island, had to make a decision.

“It was impossible to kill… Keruk. There was only a seal. And then… Kerruk.”

The Goblin Shaman, who was strong enough to seal the Minotaur, was now dying.

It’s probably because he hasn’t been able to sleep properly and has been sealed away for an incredibly long time.

“You have to kill that monster… Keruk. My life span is short. Kellogg, Kellogg!”

A goblin shaman who oozes green blood from his mouth.

“I want to help too, but… I can’t kill that.”

That means I can’t fight in the first place.

“Keruk… stupid human. I have a way First of all… “

“Junho Kim.”

A cold voice that cuts off a goblin shaman who was in full swing.

“Let’s talk.”

It was Choi Ji-won.

The place where Choi Ji-won brought me was not too far away.

“… What? Why are you in the mood?”

“… Junho Kim.”

“Why?”

Choi Ji-won.

The feelings I have for her… It is very complex.

Choi Ji-won is the one who brought me back dozens of times.

It’s also a crazy b*tch who cuts off his nose with a knife just because he asked about college, and knocks him out by slapping him on the back of his neck for acting suspiciously.

He is the master who taught me swordsmanship, and he is also the guardian deity who protects the weak in the clearing.

And above all… Choi Ji-won is my goal and milestone.

Her

Her getting her traits from her and going beyond her her.

Because this was the driving force behind my return.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“… Junho Kim.”

Choi Ji-won keeps calling my name.

Talk. Tok. Tok.

Choi Ji-won, who was tapping the handle of his sword with his fingertips, stared straight into my eyes as if he had made up his mind.

“Junho Kim.”

“What the hell.”

“I just talked about the destruction that will come from killing the boss.”

“… Why?”

“You are deliberately not mentioning one possibility.”

“… “

That’s right.

I intentionally hid one possible case.

Choi Ji-Won laughs and laughs.

“In normal cases, killing the boss is ruin. Are we different? Because I am.”

“… “

It’s true.

In most cases, if you kill the boss, there is no end other than destruction, but we are a special case.

Choi Ji-won… It is a strong man who can compete with the Minotaur.

I can’t be sure that I can win, but that doesn’t mean I will always lose.

“I’ll take my time. In the meantime, people just have to go through the portal, right?”

Words he didn’t want to hear came out of Choi Ji-won’s mouth.

Actually, this is the most reasonable way.

Even if the Minotaur is released from its seal, most people can use the portal to move on to the next stage if Choi Ji-won leads it away.

“Wouldn’t it be fine if I just dragged out the time and then came back and took the portal?”

As if trying to convince me, Choi Ji-won shrugs.

She says that, but she probably knows best.

There will be no such thing as a safe return.

The Sacrifice of the Strongest. Salvation of all others.

“… No.”

I know it’s the most reasonable choice, but I absolutely can’t agree.

Reason and emotion. Because both were against it.

The opposite s*x first.

Anyway, after I get what I can get from this episode, I will return.

It is the same as saying that you have no intention of taking a portal right now.

Therefore, the plan to let other people pass through the portal while Choi Ji-won is wasting time is almost non-existent.

The reward is better if everyone works together to defeat the Minotaur. Hence the opposite.

And emotion…

I just don’t like the fact that I had to sacrifice Choi Ji-won.

The death of a bully who tried to harm others and the death of Choi Ji-won who tried to protect everyone felt different to me.

That woman is not mean, and has a cold personality, but… She is clearly a good person.

I don’t like the development of Choi Ji-won’s sacrifice. Hence the opposite.

I wanted to say that the final conclusion was ‘opposite’ through such a logical judgment algorithm…

I’m an introvert, so I just said, “f*ck, no!” I wrote evil.

“Ha… Are you cursing now?”

Choi Ji-won bursts into laughter.

Ah… Did you rush? Are you going to ‘suck it up’ like this?

I closed my eyes tightly without realizing it.

Took.

What returned was not a cold blade, but a soft hand on his shoulder.

“Thank you for your concern.”

Choi Ji-won smiles.

“But I do it because I want to. Firefighter Cheoljin Park already agreed.”

“… What?”

“I was always curious.”

You were curious? What?

Choi Ji-won walks away after saying something that doesn’t make any sense.

“… Where are you going?”

“I’m going to pick up people from the vacant lot. If I want to take the portal while wasting time, I have to come all the way here, right?”

She seemed to have her heart ready.

Ready to make a noble sacrifice.

When she saw that, her heart swelled for nothing.

Inferiority. Is it helplessness? Or is it a mixture of the two?

The important thing is that I feel very f*cked up.

So, without realizing it, I screamed.

“Give me time.”

“What?”

Choi Ji-won, who was walking, stopped.

“Until tomorrow morning. I’ll think of a way. Wait until then.”

“… “

Choi Ji-won turned his head and looked straight into my eyes.

“You really… He’s a weirdo.”

After those words, Choi Ji-won started walking towards the empty lot again.

From noble mtl dot com

I clearly saw her giving her little nod.

The sun rises.

It is dawn.

Since I couldn’t sleep at all, there must be large dark circles under my eyes.

“Keluck… Keluck… Human. With my help, the Minotaur… “

“Shut up.”

I ignored the words of the goblin shaman who kept urging me to play with the Minotaur.

I can’t fight anyway. I’m wondering if there’s no other way than fighting.

I couldn’t come up with good ideas because my head was complicated.

My head hurts because I couldn’t sleep, and I got nauseous for no reason.

Since this place was already close to the outskirts of the swamp, the smell in the air was repulsive.

Okay, let’s go into the woods and get some fresh air and think.

I have bad and negative thoughts when I smell this musty smell.

“… “

… Swamp?

Minotaur.

A spherical protective film.

Can’t hit.

Swamp.

Minotaur.

Outdated.

“Hey. Shaman.”

“Keluck… Keluck… Huh? Human? Did you call me?”

“The protective shield surrounding the Minotaur… Are you moving?”

“Keruk… I need to move, but… Are humans stupid? That Minotaur is incredibly heavy. I won’t budge with any force.”

A goblin shaman who laughed at me saying, ‘Humans think they are smart, Keruk.’

“But if… What if I gathered a bunch of people with super strength?”

Choi Ji-won. Cheoljin Park. And if you search this forest, you’ll find other people with high strength abilities.

People with superhuman strength beyond the human category.

If you gather them all together and push hard against that spherical shield…

Wouldn’t it be possible to bury the Minotaur in the swamp?
