Regression Is Too Much

97 – The night is too dark (6)

Normally, someone would have joked about it, but the old castle is cold and silent. Only the groans of monsters heard from outside echoed.

Red sky. Cold air. Fluttering snowflakes. Last day.

There was no strong heart that could be relaxed in the face of death. There are only frightened ordinary people, sweating all over their bodies and rolling their eyes.

In hindsight, it makes sense. It was only on the 4th floor, and most of the people were still immature. If there were no strong players to hold the center, it wouldn’t be strange if they panicked and were wiped out on the third day.

-Ah. Can you hear me? This is Yoon Joong-hyun.

A communication magic tool that rings just in time.

“I can hear you.”

-The preparations for the basement are roughly finished. Now… I have no choice but to do my best.

After each room is assigned. I gave people autonomy over which room they would sit in, which divided the players into two main groups.

First. Subterranean subterranean. This category included Ryutaro, a Japanese I had seen the other day, and it seemed that the fact that monsters wouldn’t come if you were hiding in the basement seemed to be spreading.

However, the number of people underground has increased as much as the fact has spread, and I am not sure if they are still safe. Yoon Joong-hyun said he was preparing for an unexpected situation and headed underground.

And second. Classroom located on the 3rd floor. The placement of these people was blatant: they were all positioned near the stairs leading to the fourth floor. William Smith, Angyeongnam, and Baek Da-hye belonged to this group.

They believe that I will help them in case of emergency. I actually thought of helping out if I could afford it.

“… Hey, how do we survive in this yard and other cubs on the fourth floor? Looking at my acquaintances, they came out alive and well… “

“Every sound is ringing. Shut up.”

A player’s voice echoes in the hallway. In fact, I have always wondered about this. Why is the level of difficulty so difficult? We are in this shape, how the hell do the other 4th floor survive?

“The monsters have entered.”

My thoughts were cut off by Sir Thomas. It seems that monsters have finally entered the first floor of the castle.

I wonder if I waited for about 2 minutes like that?

“…The speed is slower than expected.”

“That’s right.”

-There are monsters that have flowed into the basement. But there aren’t many.

Still no monsters have reached me.

The flow of the monsters is much slower than yesterday when we were defending on the first floor. The passage was narrow and the number of monsters was so high that a bottleneck occurred.

In the past, when describing countless groups of monsters, they were described as liquid or wave-like, but in such a narrow passage, the story was different. It slides in slowly like sticky soup.

“Other rooms on the third floor… I think I can stop it enough.”

Also, the main target of the monsters was, no matter how you look at it, a bunch of aliens.

Since there were so many of them, it wasn’t that there weren’t any individuals breaking away from the group and stepping into the small room, but the vast majority were rushing towards the 4th floor. That means that the burden on others is reduced by that much.

“How is the situation underground?”

– It’s okay. It’s not that there aren’t any monsters, but it’s good enough to stop them.

Underground also things seem fine. The monsters all came to the 4th floor, so the burden seemed to be much less. Those who went to the basement were caught.

However, all of these situations are based on one premise. I should be able to stop all the monsters entering this castle.

“Is the sword ready? You will need dozens of bags.”

“I’ve been changing them all day. It will be the sharpest sword I have ever used.”

I can’t say I’m confident. But I will do my best no matter what.

Could it be because of receiving Baron Jorge’s mana? The body is lighter than ever. Fatigue sticks to my mind, but this is good enough.

“They are coming.”

“I felt it too.”

Stand up and look straight ahead. The monsters that had reached the 4th floor were swarming.

At the forefront is the courtesy monster cat. It seemed that he had reached the 4th floor as fast as he was nimble.

“Kyaaagh!”

“Suck!”

A cat leaping forward. Before he got close enough, he stretched out his sword and pierced his forehead. Keck! A cat that disappears as a group of lights with a desperate cry.

“Oohhhhh!”

However, before the halo of light disappeared, an orc carrying a large shield believed in his body and charged.

Bang! – Awesome!

Kicks the lower part of the shield with its heel, knocking it off balance, then cutting off the exposed head. This was because it was efficient and the blade of the sword was less damaged.

After that, there were countless monsters, but I was able to block them without difficulty. As the monsters get stronger, I get stronger too. The number of monsters I killed in two days is beyond counting. Gradually, my swordsmanship is evolving so that I can effectively kill enemies.

“Sword.”

“Hey, here you go!”

At my words, one of the soldiers waiting behind throws a sword. You can’t see it from an angle, but you can feel its location thanks to your sharpened senses.

Switches swords in an instant and slashes the monster in front. Cut cut again

As a result of glancing at the status window, the remaining time is about four hours. In my experience, you can survive in as little as three hours. The monsters couldn’t cross the wall for the last hour.

“How about the basement?”

– There is nothing wrong.

– There are also injured on the 3rd floor, but everyone is fine.

The other rooms also seemed to block the monsters without difficulty. In the first place, I only had to lock myself in the room and defend the narrow entrance, so the difficulty level went down. Last night’s disaster was not a lack of ability, but a surprise attack from behind. It is only natural that the defense would be successful as they had solid formations.

“The flow is good.”

Around the time when I was mistaken that it was going smoothly like this.

“Junho, Junho!”

“What is it?”

I hear the trembling voice of Baron Jorge from behind. He couldn’t look back because he was in the middle of the battle, but his voice was desperate enough to send goose bumps down his spine.

“Forward, forward!”

“What is that?”

“I see a winged monster! The fourth floor is no longer safe! Speed up! We have to break through!”

“f*ck, what?”

A winged monster? In this situation?

The 4th floor is full of holes in the walls. Even the ceiling has been completely torn down. If a monster comes from the sky… Aliens can never survive.

But to clear the way forward? It is a completely different story to hold on in place and to break through. Even a bunch of monsters are coming towards me. It must be as difficult as climbing a waterfall.

“f*ck, f*ck… “

Unreasonable situation to the extent that it feels like a customized monster is popping out. But you have to. If you remain silent like this, you will be annihilated.

“Players on the 3rd floor! Can you hear me!”

I gripped my sword tightly and opened my eyes wide. Even if you cut three of them with one cut, it’s not enough. I need help.

“We have to clear the way to the second floor! I’ll take the lead! Please help! It is enough to break the flow!”

The third floor is already occupied by players. Go to the second floor, where there is no one, and drive the aliens there.

Even the stairs to the second floor are close. The only problem is that there are monsters coming up from there.

“Once you clear the way, you can do anything! Those coming from other passages can be stopped with magic tools! Please help!”

All you have to do is clear the passage to the second floor and block the rest of the passage with magic tools. It is said that the magic tool lasts less than 10 minutes, but 10 minutes is enough for a temporary measure.

The plan was flimsy, but it was the best I could come up with in an urgent situation.

“Come out quickly!”

Cut, cut, cut again. A minute or so passed, but I couldn’t advance even five steps. I need help.

“Sorry! We are also not good enough!”

“Everyone is exhausted! I can’t afford to help!”

However, what jumps out into the hallway is not a person, but only a cry that says they will die too.

“Let’s push it out ASAP!”

At least the room where William Smith was in seemed to be struggling, but the pace was extremely slow. It probably took a long time to join.

“No, what the hell!”

The moment I was annoyed.

“aaagh!”

“Save me, save me!”

“Don’t panic! Junho will soon clear the way! What are you doing with weapons? Hold on as long as you can!”

A scream pouring from behind your back. Ringing metallic sound. The sound of fluttering wings.

The strength is slowly draining from the body. The influence of the ‘Heroic’ trait is weakening. What this means is clear.

“f*ck, f*ck, f*ck… “

People are dying in real time.

Behind my back.
