I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 233
I am not a returner Episode 233
A hero for small things (3)
“What…?”
Namgung-hwi looked down at Oh Jin, who was drowning in the rapids, with an expression of incomprehension.
As far as he knows, the ability of Lyra’s stigmata is to deal with ‘thunderbolts’.
There would be no such thing as the ability to move safely in the water like that.
“why.”
Oh Jin is swimming in the water with a very relaxed attitude, as if he is bathing in a calm warm water pool.
“What are you…”
Is this what it would feel like to see a fish caught by fishing suddenly stand on its fins and walk casually on land?
Namgoonghwi looked down at Ohjin swimming in the rapids with confused eyes.
Of course, with the superhuman body of a high-ranking awakened person, he was able to swim in that level of rapid water, but it was impossible to move as leisurely as Ojin.
“Kirrrrrrrrrrr!”
A group of monsters cut through the water and surrounded Ojin in a circle.
Ojin dived deep into the river and spread his arms wide.
‘Depth charge.’
Kwajajajajajajag!
The blue lightning spread like an explosion, sweeping away the approaching group of monsters.
There is no need to even aim at the charging monsters.
This is the water where the power of lightning is strongest.
‘Just by launching a few attacks.’
Puzzle! Pajik!
He recklessly throws a thunderbolt.
“Gurgling. “Keruk.”
Monsters caught in a torrent of blue lightning floated to the surface with their eyes turned white.
-Tiring!
[You have defeated a green-level monster.]
[You have defeated a blue-level monster.]
[You have defeated a blue-level monster.]
[You have defeated a green-level monster.]
The points rise rapidly in an instant.
‘Sweet, sweet!’
Oh Jin, who smiled brightly as he looked down at the silver bracelet on his wrist, looked up at Nam Gung Hwi who was staring down at him from the air.
Since he was submerged in the rapids, he would not be able to see himself clearly from Namgung-hwi.
‘Because it’s too shameless to just accept gifts.’
Ojin grabbed a monster with blade-sharp scales.
‘charge.’
Pajik Pajijik!
Injects lightning directly into the monster’s body.
The body of the monster with lightning inside it began to swell like a balloon.
A monster with a belly as big as a puffer fish.
‘now!’
Just before the monster’s body explodes.
Ojin threw the monster with all his might.
Sigh!
The monster’s body soars at an incredible speed, as if a cannonball has been fired.
“Keuw?!”
Namgung-hwi, who was looking down at Ojin who was submerged in the water while riding the wind, urgently raised his fan.
Kwajajajajajajag!
The thunderbolt condensed in the monster’s body exploded, and sharp scales flew in all directions as if a claymore had exploded.
“Wind!”
When Namgung-hwi opened his fan, a gust of wind blew away and blew away the flying scales.
While Namgoonghwi was preoccupied with flicking off the scales.
Sigh!
Oh Jin, who jumped out of the water like a dolphin, approached Nam Gung Hwi closely.
Ugh! Ugh!
“Wow!”
A cool straight punch that hits Namgoong Hwi’s philtrum.
Namgung-hwi’s body, which had been floating in the air, was thrown into the torrent with a dull sound like hitting leather with a club.
“Cough! Cough! “Ugh!”
Even if he was suddenly swept away by a torrent, he is still an awakened person who has reached the beginning of 10 stars.
It quickly regained its wind, escaped through the rapids, and rose into the air again.
“What are you doing now?”
“They say that in life, unavoidable accidents are bound to happen?”
Oh Jin shakes his fist and raises the corner of his mouth.
“For example, an accidentally swung fist could hit a buzzing fly in the throat.”
“You…”
Nam Gung-hwi fiercely opened his eyes and glared at Oh Jin.
When a ghastly murderous spirit blooms and you try to flap your fan.
-Chi-ik! Cheek!
An urgent voice came from the square walkie-talkie on Namgoonghwi’s waist.
-Namgoong Hwi! Found it! It’s a black-level monster!
Namgoonghwi quickly turned off the radio before the voice continued.
“It’s a shame, but I guess I’ll have to go now.”
Hehehe!
A strong gust of wind enveloped Namgoonghwi’s body.
Namgoonghwi’s body, wrapped in the wind, flew high into the air.
“There is no point in using tracking skills like before.”
Just like Namgoong Hwi said.
Because the wind was wrapped around the body like a barrier, body odor was completely blocked from flowing out.
If it was moving through the air, it wouldn’t leave any traces like footprints, so tracking it would be impossible.
“Once I become Chilseong… I will come back to you.”
Namgung-hwi glared at Oh Jin sharply, then turned around and disappeared into the distance.
“What did that bastard say to get a 10 star rating?”
Oh Jin smiled as he looked at Nam Gung Hwi walking away.
“Aja!”
Io ran over to Ojin and fell into Ojin’s arms.
“Are you hurt anywhere, mister?”
“As you can see.”
Ojin shrugged his shoulders and lightly stroked the head of Io, who was sniffling.
Io glared at the spot where Namgoonghwi flew with an angry expression.
“What, that kind of person was selected as a candidate for Chilseong?!”
“That’s right.”
I’ve met many different people in my life, but it’s been a long time since I met someone as dull as Nam Gung-Hwi.
“A person like that won’t be chosen as Chilseong! “I’ll guarantee it!”
Io pounded his chest and shouted with an angry expression.
Oh Jin smiled and nodded at her cute appearance.
“no! It’s not just words! Even if that person takes first place in the competition, I will eliminate him!”
“Okay, okay.”
Oh Jin patted Io’s back as she ran wild and picked her up.
Point farming would have been sweet, and now was the time to safely take her to the safety zone.
“Hold on tight.”
“Ahh!”
Taang!
Ojin fired the wire shooter at the rock on the other side of the river and then jumped high.
“Kyaaaah!”
Io screamed, hugging Ojin’s neck tightly.
After moving to the other side of the river, Ojin put down Io, who he was holding.
“Wow! Wow! “It’s so fun, man!”
Io’s eyes sparkled and she jumped.
“Once more! Please do it one more time!”
“You can’t do it because it’s dangerous.”
Oh Jin walked in the direction of the safety zone, leaving behind Io who was making a fuss and pulling his collar.
* * *
“Is that the safety zone?”
After tracking Namgunghwi’s scent, we arrived at a place covered by a green protective shield.
Ojin tapped the shield, which was emitting a soft green light, with the back of his hand.
‘It’s solid.’
It was a strong protective shield that even Ojin could not easily destroy.
A shield this strong would never be broken by the power of one or two monsters.
“Huh. “It arrived and was gone.”
Io kicked a piece of stone with his toe, as if he was sorry about breaking up with Ojin.
“I’ll go take a look once the competition is over.”
“ah! Is it true, man?! “You promised me!”
Io’s eyes lit up and she extended her little finger to Ojin.
“Yes, it is a promise.”
Ojin hooked his little finger around Io’s little finger.
Io smiled brightly and took out a square device from his pocket.
“Then your score is… dugu dugu dugu!”
Io, who was muttering loud sound effects with her mouth, suddenly raised both arms.
“Bam bam! Perfect score! “It’s perfect!”
-Tiring!
[‘Normal Person No. 2’ was safely guided to the safety zone.]
[1000 points were earned.]
1000 points at a time.
Considering that the Blue-level monster, which was difficult to catch, was worth only 30 points, it was a huge score.
‘Isn’t it really okay to accumulate points by rescuing ordinary people?’
Of course, I didn’t know whether other ordinary people would give him full marks like Io.
It was definitely quite attractive to be able to earn a huge amount of points all at once.
“lol. “Then I’ll just stay inside.”
“Once you’re inside, don’t come out and stay quiet until it’s over.”
Ojin took out another calorie bar and handed it to Io.
Io nodded deeply as he accepted the calorie bar.
“all right! Instead, you have to play with me after the competition is over?”
“okay.”
Io ran quickly and entered the safety zone.
Inside the safety zone, there were 9 ordinary people who had probably been rescued by other candidates.
‘They all have green bridges on their heads.’
Was there some sort of coincidence?
The hair of ordinary people sitting quietly in the safety zone had green bridges like Io’s.
Oh Jin, who was looking at the ordinary people sitting in the safety zone with a bored expression, soon turned around.
‘This is not the time to be like this.’
The fact that 9 ordinary people are already in the safety zone means that up to 9 candidates have succeeded in rescuing the ordinary people.
Of course, not all of them would have received perfect scores like he did, but if there was a candidate who rescued more than two of them, it would have been difficult to catch up on points.
“Should I really aim for this black-level monster?”
Ojin crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
However, even if you want to catch a black level monster, you do not know its exact location.
‘Namgoonghwi flew… It was definitely in that direction.’
Looking at the map, it was a place with glacial terrain.
“Let’s go first.”
Ojin activated the hunting dog’s seat and quickly ran to where the glacial terrain was.
Whiiiiing!
The closer we got to the glacier terrain, the harsher the cold wind that bit our skin.
‘This thing was made well.’
I only ran for a few minutes, but in an instant, the surrounding area became a snowy field.
“hmm?”
Something caught in Canis Stigmata’s senses.
Ojin walked on the cold glacier, sniffling.
“…blood?”
I could see blood dripping on the transparent ice.
Oh Jin turned his head towards the place where the blood was flowing.
Where the blood flowed, there was a huge ice cave about 50 meters high.
‘I didn’t go into the ice cave.’
It was the opposite.
The owner of the blood stain ‘ran away’ out of the ice cave.
Avoid something inside.
“….”
Ojin followed the trail of blood and entered the ice cave.
A cave made of crystal-clear ice.
At the entrance to the cave.
“…Namgoonghwi?”
Namgung-hwi, completely injured, had collapsed.
“What is this, you bastard?”
Let’s touch the fallen Namgoonghwi.
“A monster… a monster inside…”
Namgoong-hwi, who was shaking, closed his eyes and fainted.
Red blood leaked from the wound, which looked like it had been cut by a sharp sword, and soaked the floor.
“….”
Ojin swallowed dry saliva and looked inside the cave.
Namgoonghwi being here means one thing.
‘Inside here.’
There is a black grade monster.
