Regression Is Too Much

70 – Regressor Cloud (1)

“… !”

A split second in real time that is less than 0.1 Second.

My brain is overworked like it’s about to burn.

Two desperately moving eyes quickly recognize the surrounding situation.

Brother Chan is finally turning his body around, Dok Soo-hee is putting his hand into his arms, and Kyung-Jun Ahn’s normally white face is turning blue.

It’s the perfect surprise. I never dreamed that the metal lumps around me would combine and transform into enemies.

“… “

The situation is very, very bad.

Because they were wary of the front without knowing how to catch up, the ranks were disturbed. Besides, the assembly speed of the golem you just showed was ridiculously fast. Even turning around to avoid an attack may be difficult.

The material of the golem is also a problem.

That unknown metal deflects physical force. My weapon is a sword. Against such a tough opponent, the compatibility is extremely bad. If the properties of metal were combined, my grip would be torn to pieces before I could slash the golem.

Looking at it this far, I can never, never beat that golem.

But.

But what if it was Kang Chan hyung?

If it’s Kang Chan-hyung’s fist, which emits something more than simple physical force.

Whoa.

A metal golem with a mass that acts as an arm stretched upwards, ready to strike.

As I expected, the golem’s movement was unusually fast. It was comparable to the movement of a giant wolf that attacked from the ceiling.

Boo Woo Woo!

The arm of the metal golem is slammed down. It was too late to avoid it.

Kang Chan must have sensed that fact as well, so he twisted his face to the point where he could no longer frown.

That moment.

“… !”

Gooooo!

An enormous amount of lifeblood emanating from Kang Chan’s body.

Just before the golem’s fist touched Kang Chan, a thick and intense life force that was incomparable to the previous killing spewed out from his body.

Wow!

With a roar, a thick cloud of dust rose.

**

“Ugh… !”

The ground shakes like crazy, and the dust that fills the space blocks the view.

I can’t see exactly what happened, but I can guess from the sound… It was probably the sound of the golem being shattered by Kang Chan’s punch.

“… “

However, Dok Soo-hee has a strangely stiff expression.

“… ‘Wind’!”

“… Is such an enchantment possible?”

As she threw her dagger with her trembling hand, a fierce wind gusted from her dagger and dusted her off.

“Brother… !”

I hurried my steps to support the exhausted and stumbling older brother.

“… Eh?”

In the dust-cleared space, Kang Chan and the golem were both gone.

Why? Where?

Something happened that shouldn’t have happened. Having less understanding of the situation, I froze in place.

“Calm down! Wake!”

With Poison Hee holding my shoulder and shaking it.

“Hmmm!”

Angyeong-Jun Ahn takes out a rather fancy design rather than the old spear he usually takes out, and is vigilant about his surroundings.

“No, no… “

I knew I had to move, but I couldn’t figure out how to move.

Where did Kang Chan disappear to? And what about the golem? Where’s that big guy?

But Dok Soo-hee, as if feeling something, hurriedly put her hand into her arms with a pale face.

“Sir!”

Fool Soo-hee hurriedly takes out a chopped wolf heart.

“Avoid!”

Only then did I notice. The fact that the ground was shaking differently than usual.

Fuhuaak!

A metal golem that pops out right under your feet.

“Wow!”

Booung!

Embarrassed, I stepped back and at the same time reflexively swung my sword and struck him in the head.

Caang!

The intense physical force, including the centrifugal force that started at the waist and flowed down the shoulder, the muscular strength of the arm itself, and the gravity from the weight of the sword, all reflected and tore my grip.

“… !”

My eyes are fixed on the golem even as the blood drips from it.

A metal golem that pops up from the ground and swings its arm at me.

And a large amount of blood stains on the golem’s fist.

“… “

Kang Chan can’t be… I didn’t run away

Enlightenment could not lead.

Because my mind was gradually clouded.

“… “

“…Stand up. Bantling.”

“… Hey.”

“… ?”

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

Kang Chan.

The suspicion started when the man suddenly left, saying he was going to catch another wolf.

In the previous episode, when I didn’t inform about the existence of the wolf, he quietly followed me, but after I told him that there was a monster hiding in front of me, he disappeared somewhere. Even if the three-year-old snoring sees it, not me, it’s suspicious.

However, after seeing Kang Chan’s overwhelming power, he believed him. He believed that there really was a second wolf, and that he had been fighting it.

I thought the wound on my forehead after the fight was very constant, but I still believed it. Because I thought there was no need for a person that strong to lie.

But let’s think about the last sight I saw.

Kang Chan disappeared somewhere immediately after encountering the golem. And the golem’s fists were covered in blood.

There were no dazzling beams of light, a precursor to Kang Chan’s fists, and there were no huge holes in the ceiling or walls.

It just disappeared.

Judging from the scene I saw, there was a very high probability that Kang Chan was killed by the golem.

A question naturally arises here. Why? Why?

He was the one who threw a punch that I couldn’t even react to.

This is the man who tried to kill the wolf and blew it up to the ceiling, causing the cave to collapse.

Why is it that a person with the power to push through a passage lined with traps with a single punch could not even resist the golem and be defeated? Isn’t there not enough time to react?

One hypothesis came to mind here.

“Kang Chan.”

“… Do you know me?”

“Are there any restrictions on your ability or time? It’s very bad too.”

It’s not that Kang Chan didn’t resist, it makes sense if he did ‘fail’.

It would make sense if his fighting power plummeted after one punch of unbelievable power.

If this hypothesis is true, several questions will be answered.

Why is someone who can throw punches of such enormous power so slow to evade?

So strong, why did you try to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Why did Kang Chan, who broke the trap passage, get hit by the golem without even using a side?

Why did Kang Chan, who punched me, worry over and over again?

“… “

Kang-chan turns his head as if he is not worth dealing with. He looked so confident on the outside, but on the inside, he must have been quite embarrassed.

“Where are you going?”

Kang-chan moved his steps, but I had no intention of letting go, so he clung to me and talked to him.

“You. The cooldown of the punch ability is f*cking long, right? So you can’t use it carelessly? Right? Huh?”

“… You are crazy.”

Goooooh.

Kang Chan, who intensively exudes life at me, must have hit the mark.

However, it was a life I had experienced several times before, so I did not back down.

“Show me.”

“… “

“If you think my words are a pure lie and not worth listening to, then show your helplessness.”

“… The structure on the third floor is presumed to be a structure that requires four people to work together. I have no intention of causing a fuss.”

“Really?”

I sat down in my seat.

“I will not cooperate. Until you show force.”

“… “

“You can intimidate me or torture me. But I won’t move until I see your strength.”

I don’t budge even though the killing spewing out from Kang Chan gets stronger and stronger.

Kang Chan, who continued to increase the intensity of his life, opened his mouth with an expression of boredom when I did not move.

“… What do you want?”

“I want to know your ability.”

“What are you trying to do on your own?”

Here, it provides an incentive to be cooperative.

“… I am a regressor.”

“… “

“And just went through the 3rd floor, you were about to be killed by a golem. If you keep going like this, you might not be able to clear the 3rd floor of the permanent residence. Golem specs are abnormal.”

I briefly explained to Kang-chan what happened after I entered the third floor.

“… You want me to believe that now?”

“Do you have a strange red orb-like item? When a monster comes out, you brought it to use it and make a fuss, right? More to say… Your abilities are the ability to breathe life, and the ability to punch with a very long cooldown. I think it’s two. What do you think about it?”

“… ”

Kang Chan’s expression hardened to the point of fright. It was also instinctively felt. I’m only telling the truth

“Kill to kill. Because if you return, it will be enough.”

“… Why am I saying this? No, that was a stupid question. Are you thinking of returning anyway? After you get enough information.”

“… That’s right.”

“… It’s the highest difficulty, so as soon as you enter, absurd situations happen.”

Kang Chan-eun closed her eyes and pondered slowly.

“… Under.”

He let out a light laugh.

Swoop.

At the same time, the lifeblood emanating from Kang Chan’s body stopped. The bloody momentum that seemed like it would kill dozens of people in one sitting disappeared in an instant.

“… Okay. You are right.”

The expressionless yet stiff expression gradually loosens.

“I am not the monster people think.”

The face of the man who collapsed with his back leaning against the wall shows deep fatigue.

Looking at it this way, his face only looked bloody, but the feeling of being untouchable disappeared.

Kang Chan lowers his head slowly. I think this is his true face.

“I intentionally played an overwhelming powerhouse.”

Kang Chan, with his head bowed, speaks calmly.

“To survive.”

The story he told me was quite shocking.
