Regression Is Too Much

91 – The regressor panics (12)

“Queaea!!!”

“Kooooo!!!”

A pitch-black night. Goosebumps ring out from all sides.

A demonic harmony full of pain, anger, and malice. A weak person will get blood draining from his head and dizziness just by listening to it.

“The castle walls… “

“Nonsense… “

And at the same time, the castle wall swayed little by little. That level could never be said to be large, but the fact that the fortress walls, which seemed solid, were moving, was quite shocking.

“Can you see something?”

I shifted my gaze away from the shaking walls and looked at Baron Jorge standing next to me.

“Ummm… “

Baron Jorge sighs. Blue light flashes in his eyes.

“… The situation is not good.”

Baron Jorge is a wizard, and the magic he has now activated is a reconnaissance-type magic called ‘Eye of the Sky’.

The magic effect is simple. From above, he can look down on where he is currently located.

It may seem like a useless effect, but there is no magic better than this to understand the battle situation. Therefore, it is a magic that is essential for war in another world, and it is a magic that all nobles learn.

“How are things right now? Do you think the walls will be breached?”

“… I’m struggling with how to properly express this.”

By the time beads of sweat formed on the forehead of Baron Jorge, who was worried, his mouth finally opened.

“… You. Have you ever thrown a large stone into a stream?”

“Yes.”

“Now we are just like that. A large boulder in the middle of the stream.”

The number of monsters is too many to count. To the point where it feels like a flow of liquid rather than individual objects.

“There are an absolute majority of individuals who crash into the castle walls. Some individuals die instantly from the impact of the collision, and many are crushed to death by other monsters coming from behind.”

“… There’s a reason it’s so noisy.”

Just as a stream constantly tickles a stone block, monsters are constantly crashing into the walls of the castle. It was because the walls were shaking and screams were heard.

“And these monsters seem to have a destination.”

Baron Jorge said that the monsters didn’t seem particularly intent on us. He was just heading somewhere, and this castle was at the corner of the road.

However, since the scale of the monsters was so vast, it was natural that the castle was besieged.

“Lastly, the city walls… Monsters are piling up.”

A monster crashes into the wall and dies. They are pushed from behind, and they are crushed to death by the pressure from above. The corpse turns into a halo of light the moment it dies, and the castle wall is still standing.

However, some monsters were strong enough to withstand the pressure of crushing them, and they were strong enough. They were clinging to the wall and waving their arms like crazy, but the problem was that strong monsters gathered and acted as a foundation.

Gradually, a hill is created for the monsters to climb. Of course, the monster that plays the role of the hill is not invincible, so it was constantly dying and disappearing, and the hill collapsing over and over again… An environment was created in which it wouldn’t be strange if the monster jumped over the wall at any time.

“… It looks like it will be soon. Now let’s go inside the castle.”

His territories were waiting inside the castle. It doesn’t help much in battle right now, so I just put it out of sight.

“Whoa.”

Baron Jorge sighed and the blue light went out of his eyes. I heard that ‘Eye of the Sky’ is a magic with a heavy burden. He doesn’t show off, but he’s probably quite tired.

“Than… you. Are you okay?”

While walking into the castle, Baron Jorge turns his head to look at me. A complex emotion flowed in his eyes.

“What is it?”

“… It is not.”

Come to think of it, Baron Jorge’s hand was shaking slightly. His expression was as casual as usual, but he couldn’t even detect the trembling of his hands.

“… See you alive.”

With that said, Baron Jorge disappeared inside the castle. I turned my head and looked in the direction of the castle wall. It’s about to meet the eyes of a wolf.

“… What do you see?”

“Kurrr… “

A group of monsters appear on top of the castle wall, led by the wolf that met my eyes. The ‘hill’ mentioned by Baron Jorge was completed.

“It’s bloody.”

Shining eyes. Drooling saliva. A strong snort.

Unbearable monsters jump down from the walls. Some came running after landing gracefully, while others collapsed from their seat with a sprained leg. Then, using the fallen guy as a cushion, another monster falls into the courtyard of the castle.

“Kuhuong!”

One of the wolves was the first to come running and stick its teeth at me. Compared to the monstrous wolf on the 3rd floor, it was ridiculous.

Swings his sword mechanically. The feeling of piercing the thick fur, slicing through the flesh and breaking bones was transmitted to the fingertips, and at the same time, the wolf’s severed head spun in the air and turned into light.

But wolves are just the beginning. Oak. Goblin. A monster with a dog-shaped head that I don’t know what to call it. The monsters were constantly falling down.

“… f*ck.”

The struggle began.

**

About 30 minutes after the monsters crossed the wall.

Cut.

Cut.

Cut again.

Although he has been constantly moving, his whole body is still full of energy. Your eyes are sharper than ever, and your heart beats wildly.

“Chur uh uh!”

Awesome!

An orc thrusts in a wooden shield and tries to block the attack in its own way, but the shield cuts it in half.

“Kong! Kung!”

Four wolves attack at the same time. Under. Stomach. Left. Right. Even if one is blocked, the other three cannot be blocked.

“Suck!”

In that case, just swing the sword four times faster. Four halved wolf corpses roll on the floor.

Terrible muscle strength that cannot be attributed to humans, and overwhelming agility that leaves no afterimages. These are all effects of hero traits.

Truly a wolf in a flock. Jangpanpa’s equipment. All the monsters that entered the space where my sword reached died pouring blood. Thanks to the time I accumulated from the arrow traps on the 3rd floor, I can easily evade.

However, the situation was not entirely optimistic. No, I think it would be more correct to see it as a bad thing.

At the same time as I grabbed the short dagger and slashed the charging goblins, I lost myself in thought.

If I calmly judge the situation I am in… It was very complex.

First of all, I am incredibly strong right now. A monster coming? Not a big deal. The passage I was blocking was so narrow that three adult men could barely fit through it, and thanks to that, the number of monsters that could enter at once was fixed. This means that there is no such thing as a gaping hole.

Of course, sometimes there were monsters that were a bit strong and had strong muscles, but if you focus on cutting them, you can clear them all together.

Assuming I maintain my concentration, there will be no point in returning emptyly by allowing an unexpected blow.

However, the aforementioned conditions are problematic. Because ‘maintaining concentration’ itself was a problem.

It is said that the blood and fat on the sword disappears as soon as the monster dies, but the blade is damaged in an instant because the sword is used so roughly. There was a need to replace the sword while checking the state of the blade in the middle.

Also, the strong objects that came in between the monsters were a problem. They were too weak to knock me down, but strong enough to inflict fine wounds on me.

If you empty your mind and swing your sword with ignorance, you will surely be hurt. I had to constantly roll my eyes, overwork my brain, and count all the possible possibilities.

Yeah, the body didn’t matter. The body in which the hero traits were activated was still lively and full of strength. The problem is the mind.

“Haa… “

Keeping your mind engaged at the same time as moving repeatedly is a huge concentration eater. Of course, the degree of fatigue was considerable, and the sword kept twisting due to the clouded mind.

Of course I can stand it. It’s hard, but you can persevere and fight. But I am a regressor. You may have to repeat this sh*t, not once, but dozens or hundreds of times. The moment I recognized that fact, every moment felt like hell.

Should I just go through the portal? It’s not my part-time job whether I follow other people or not.

No, I have to see the end first. I’ll have to see what’s on the 4th floor.

Shuwook!”

While I was dizzy, a sharp ax aimed at the top of my head. It was an ax wielded by a huge orc, but after easily dodging it, he decapitated it.

“… Under.”

First of all, let’s think about it after surviving.

**

The morning sun rises.

“Is it over?”

“Ha ha, ha, ha… “

Outside the castle walls were still teeming with monsters, and terrible screams echoed everywhere… There were no more monsters beyond the walls. It seems that there is no monster strong enough to support the weight of other monsters right now.

“Are you all right?”

Yoon Joong-hyun, who came running in a hurry, scanned my body up and down, and his eyes widened. Of course, there won’t be any damage. If it was right in the first place, it would have returned.

“I’m fine. How about that one?”

“There are quite a few injured, but I don’t think there are any fatalities.”

The aisle was narrow, and the damage was not great because about 90 players took turns fighting. In the first place, except for some objects, each monster was not very strong.

“… Thank god.”

Still, I smiled a little thinking that my hard work was not in vain. It felt like I had accomplished a fairly difficult achievement in the game.

-51:02:11

But this is only the third day. We still had two more days to survive, and we needed to give our weary bodies a rest.

“Thank you for your hard work. I don’t know the exact conditions, but it seems safe for now. You may be tired, but set up a night watch and take turns taking a break… “

“Junho.”

I stopped when I heard a hoarse voice behind me.

The one who interrupted me was Sir Thomas, the escort of Baron Jorge. The winter clothes he was wearing were all stained with blood.

“Are you hurt? Blood… “

“That is not the point.”

I’ll be honest. I was a little excited. It was because I thought I was doing my best.

“31 People died. They are all from the baron family, Ji-min Yeong.”

“… Yes?”

Until we hear the sad news.
