Regression Is Too Much

54 – Jiwon Choi is too strong (5)

“Fighting without preparation would be suicidal.”

Before challenging the master of the city.

Me, Cheoljin Park, and Jiwon Choi were having a meeting at a small inn.

“In the first place, she is a woman who uses lightning. He knows how to use steps close to teleportation… There is no chance of winning in a head-to-head match.”

“Hmm… “

Firefighters Park Cheol-jin and Choi Ji-won nodded without any doubt.

I’ve never had a fight with the city’s owner either, so you might think my words have no weight. There is no reason to believe Choi Ji-won and Park Cheol-jin.

“All these words from the great American Michael Jeter. Did you see the poster in the plaza?”

“I see… “

So I sold my authority. He said he was friends with Michael Jeter.

Actually, after reading Michael Jeter’s post, aren’t we already friends? No no

“Anyway… We are civilized people from the modern age. You have to use that to win.”

When I gave the signal, the two men who were waiting walked towards us hesitantly.

“I want to help! It’s okay to die!”

“I want to give her a shot!”

The two of them spewed out their own determination, but Choi Ji-won looked a little bewildered.

“These people… “

“The person on the left had to live the life of a beggar because of the Bronze Mark. He was originally a hunter and tanner.”

“Then what about the other one?”

“He was forced to live as a hunter and tanner because of the Silver Mark.”

After the Token Box was taken away, the city’s residents regained their true nature.

In addition, the experience of acting when there was a sign did not disappear anywhere, so he was able to save two skilled tanners.

They are specialists in handling leather. Just tell me, and I’ll make it just the way you want it.

Where did you get the leather?

I bribed some players with gold tokens as bait and bought their leather armor.

Therefore, the amount of leather to be used as a material is plentiful.

My first idea. Use leather to reduce damage from electricity.

“The whole body is wrapped in leather armor. How is it.”

“… It’s really different.”

However, Choi Ji-won expressed disapproval.

“In the first place, my strong point is fine sword control… If you wrap your body in thick armor, it will only be cumbersome.”

“… “

“I just wish there were special gloves and arm sleeves that are thicker than the existing ones.”

“… All right.”

The plan to wrap my whole body in leather was rejected… Still, I decided to try making gloves and sleeves.

“Then how about this one?”

But it doesn’t end here.

This time a middle-aged man walks in with dignified steps.

“… Nice to meet you. My name is Baron Richt.”

Not Baron Licht, whom I have met so many times, but the ‘real’ Baron Licht, who was forced to live the life of a commoner because of the silver mark.

My second plan. It is to use the nobles who have escaped from the box’s spell.

Others, originally nobles, were uncooperative, but Baron Licht was different.

As a result of experiencing the life of a commoner, he reflected on his dissolute life in the past and expressed his desire to atone for his sins.

In a way, it can be said that the city has been blooming according to the intention of the owner of the city.

“By the way… How can this person help?”

Choi Ji-won tilts his head.

Baron Licht, instead of answering, opened his palm and created a glowing light bullet on top of it.

“I am a wizard. He is an expert in handling mana.”

“… So?”

“Of course, Climber is much stronger than me, so I can’t directly help him in battle… However, some degree of indirect help is possible. Can I touch you for a moment?”

As Baron Licht put his finger on Park Cheol-jin’s wrist, firefighter Park Cheol-jin’s expression changed subtly.

“This is… “

“Can you feel the magic inside your body moving? Climbers have magical powers, but don’t seem to know how to use them. It’s literally just ‘have it’.”

“Ooh… “

“But if I were there, I could control that mana for you. Of course, since he’s a mage, he can’t use advanced techniques like sword steel, but… It will definitely help.”

“This is… I hope this helps. It feels like something energizes your body.”

Firefighter Park Cheol-jin’s expression brightened, but on the contrary, Choi Ji-won’s expression darkened.

“… I don’t think I can use it in real life.”

She is right. During the fierce fight, it was impossible for Baron Licht to follow Choi Ji-won and control mana instead.

But as if Baron Licht had also expected it, she immediately answered Choi Ji-won’s words.

“Before the fight. I’ll activate mana in advance. Just by having mana circulating in her body, her physical abilities improve and her various resistances increase.”

“… If so. Great.”

Leaving behind Baron Licht, who is happy to be of help.

“The last one… It’s a way to create a momentary gap.”

All we needed was a moment of gap.

Come back to the plaza again.

Kwaaang!!!

Choi Ji-Won said, “It took her body to bounce like a water swallow three times before she could barely hold her pose.”

‘… Does this make sense?’

Flash beam. I knew the concept after hearing it from Kim Jun-ho, but when I dealt with it myself, it was absurd.

After holding his posture for about 2 seconds, he immediately closed the distance of more than 30 meters and swung his sword.

It’s a bonus that my arms get tingling just by briefly touching swords.

This is how much damage was reduced thanks to the leather gloves and sleeves. No matter how strong Choi Ji-won may be, he would never succeed if he allowed such an attack head-on.

“… !”

The lord of the city swung his sword in the distance, and magical lightning erupted from the point at an unbelievable speed.

Because it was an attack he had just seen, Choi Ji-won reflexively flung his body.

Kwaaang!

“Suck!”

Choi Ji-won, who narrowly avoided the lightning by blowing his body, started running toward the front.

She didn’t have the means of her ranged attack. Before being gnawed at, the distance must be reduced.

But when she saw that, the corners of her mouth twisted slightly, and the master of the city swung her sword again.

Choi Ji-Won reflexively threw her body to avoid her lightning strike.

“Ah.”

She

It wasn’t until after her body floated in the air that she recognized that she had been tricked.

The owner of the city only took the motion of swinging his sword, but did not blow the lightning.

Until the opponent is in an unavoidable appetizing state because he has already blown his body.

Pajijijijik!

“Kuhup… !”

This time, Choi Ji-Won’s body was hit directly by lightning, and her body rolled on the stone floor.

“… “

She manages to get up from her seat, but her complexion is much worse than before.

Even her legs were trembling.

Choi Ji-won’s durability is much stronger than others thanks to her new sword combination, but this lightning is not the kind that can withstand it.

“Are you giving up?”

On the other hand, the owner of the city was full of leisure. He even seemed to be adjusting his strength.

Simply starting to use mana made such a difference. The woman in front of her eyes, who seemed capable, began to look like a monster.

“… “

The longer the fight dragged on, the darker her defeat.

Choi Ji-won, who slowly took her posture, winked at Cheol-jin Park and Jun-ho Kim, who were watching from afar.

Now is the time to throw the odds.

After confirming that Park Chul-jin and Kim Jun-ho prepared a sword each in their hands.

“Suck!”

Choi Ji-won started running with a spirit. Shaking her head, the owner of the city is seen swinging her sword and sending out lightning.

But instead of Choi Ji-Won dodging her lightning by throwing her body, she rather spurred her running steps.

“… ?”

It wasn’t long before the owner of the city expressed his doubts.

Breaking Love!

A sword that flew at the right time twisted the direction of the lightning.

“What?!”

The owner of the city is bewildered.

I would have known that lightning could be induced to metal as much as it was used, but I would not have known that it would be actively used in this way.

Of course, there was no ground attached to the sword, so the lightning bounced in all directions…

For Choi Ji-won, avoiding a direct hit was enough.

From noble mtl dot com

A master of swords that rushes at superhuman speed while closing distances.

The brow of the owner of the city is furrowed.

It was too late to activate the flash beam. To block an attack with a sword, I was concerned about another sword flying from the right.

Did he fire two swords at the same time?

It was a complicated situation, but the judgment was quick.

The owner of the city took a step back and escaped the path of the sword flying from the right.

Craft!

At the same time, it radiates electricity from its body and uses its sword to keep Choi Ji-Won in check.

It was indeed an exemplary response.

“?!”

It was her mistake not to have imagined that Choi Ji-won would catch her flying sword with her left hand and throw it as it was.

The owner of the city decided that it was too late to avoid it and swung his sword away from the flying weapon.

In that way, despite the overwhelming power difference, a gap was created for just one moment.

The gap Choi Ji-won was aiming for all along.

‘It’s now, Boongbung.’

My body is trembling, and there is no pain anywhere.

Clean your teeth and concentrate your mind. Perhaps thanks to the mana flowing through his body, his mind was clear.

Vs. River. Inside. Kyung.

This is a skill that is emphasized when practicing a series of attacks in kendo.

Large swinging movements are made in large movements.

Choi Ji-Won’s heavily swung sword is thrust down toward the city’s owner, and the city’s owner’s knees are slightly bent as he hurriedly blocks the sword in a disheveled posture.

A strong sword must have strong power.

Choi Ji-Won didn’t hesitate and swung his sword sideways. In exchange for the clumsy defense of the attack, the attitude of the owner of the city completely collapsed.

“Oops… !”

The owner of the city who bites his teeth. An electric current flowed from her body, but Choi Ji-won held on with her mental strength and continued her attack.

I refrained from using strong techniques because it was too close range and it could damage me as well.

Now that the situation is like this, there is no choice but to take the damage and subdue it at once.

That moment when the owner of the city raised her mana and pulled out her powerful lightning bolt.

Speed movements should be big and fast.

Choi Ji-won did not miss the gap where her concentration was disturbed due to her focus on mana.

Tadak!

In one breath, cut the wrist and torso at the same time. A sword is not a very effective weapon against armor, but with the strength of Choi Ji-won, the story is different.

“Kuh… !”

The master of the city’s grip on the sword loosened, her armor buckled, and the mana she drew from the impact on her ribs was disrupted.

It was only a momentary gap, but Choi Ji-won succeeded in widening the gap.

There is absolutely no way to escape. Her stance collapsed, her grip on her sword loosened, and the mana she drew was disheveled.

Gyeong(輕) movements should be light, flexible and, above all, precise.

“It’s over.”

The moment when Choi Ji-Won’s sword aimed precisely at the waist of the city’s owner and pierced it.

Quarrr

A streak of lightning struck the owner of the city from the air, and Choi Ji-Won’s body bounced off like a doll with a thread cut off.

Starting from that moment.

The air in the plaza has changed.

“… I never thought of this.”

The eyes of the owner of the city shine with a blue light.

The stone floor turns to powder and rises slowly into the air, and the surrounding space vibrates violently.

“Wait! Wait! Calm down!”

An angelic voice of astonishment could be heard from somewhere, but the owner of the city seemed unwilling to stop.

“It’s not my fault. Because you brought it all on yourself.”

Blue light lightning shoots out from her armor, and the sword she is holding glows blue and exudes bloody energy.

It’s different.

The pressure is different from before.

That is not the kind of enemy that can be resisted. Natural disasters are not about fighting and winning, but about enduring and adapting.

That can’t be beat.

“… Crazy.”

It is a phenomenon known in the head. However, I never dreamed that I would see it with my own two eyes in real life.

I should have assumed the possibility that this might be the case…

The skin all over the body tingles, the scalp feels itchy, and the hair rises little by little.

“… Coke, Coke.”

Choi Ji-won and Choi Ji-won exhaled with difficulty as they collapsed.

“Uh, uh… “

“What is this… “

Leaving the astonished players behind, a natural disaster in human form was declared.

“I will not kill you. All of you.”

The owner of the city activated the heart of the war.
