I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 234
I am not a returner Episode 234:
A hero for small things (4)
A cold feeling like a sharp blade cutting into flesh.
White breath flows out between the lips and disperses like cigarette smoke.
My heart is pounding.
In the cold silence of the ice cave, only the sound of my heart rang fiercely in my ears.
Oh Jin looked down at Nam Gung Hwi who had fainted and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Namgoonghwi ended up like this.’
This means that the ‘monster’ in this cave is at least a 10-star monster.
Of course, it is true that Namgoong Hwi, who has just entered the 10th level, is so weak that it is embarrassing to call him a 10th level person compared to a true 10th level awakened person like Isabella.
but.
‘But he’s not the kind of guy who can be defeated this easily.’
Regardless of his personality, it was an undeniable fact that Namgoong Hwi was a talented person who could be considered a candidate for Chilseong.
The fact that Nam Gung-hwi was so overwhelmed that he was completely destroyed must be proof that the black-level monster within him was that powerful.
“So you didn’t say that for no reason?”
I laughed as I remembered Olivia giving a warning with a calm expression.
A cool sensation running down my spine.
Ojin slowly approached the inside of the cave, clutching his spear.
When the long passage made of ice ended, a wide open cavity appeared.
A beam of pure white light leaked through a hole in the ceiling, illuminating the inside of the cave as bright as day.
Under the brilliant white rays of light.
A monster wearing a black necklace stood tall.
Blue armor covering the entire body.
Dark red eyes burning ominously through the helmet and a rusty sword at his waist.
It wasn’t that it was as big as a house or anything like that.
A monster so similar in size to a human that one would believe it was just a person standing in full armor.
No, it was a monster more suited to being called a ‘knight’ rather than a monster.
‘Living Armor?’
When I saw the blue armor, the name naturally came to mind.
‘no.’
Soon Oh Jin shook his head.
I don’t feel the eerie and eerie aura typical of ghosts that I felt in Living Armor.
then.
‘What kind of monster…’
was Ojin frowning and peeking at the knight in blue armor.
“….”
The knight in blue armor, who was looking up at the beam of light shining from the ceiling, lowered his head.
Ominous burning dark red eyes stared at Ojin, who was hiding behind an ice pillar.
and.
“…!”
Could know.
I could understand.
Even though we only made eye contact at best, I was able to realize everything.
‘Mi Chin.’
Crackle. Teeth chattering.
A chill comes over my body, as if my flesh is being cut open with a sharp blade.
Cold, cold, cold.
It’s so cold that it’s freezing.
“what…?”
Oh Jin clenched his trembling fists and swallowed dry saliva.
“….”
The blue knight, who was looking at Ojin intently, pulled out the rusty sword from his belt.
Slowly raise the sword and gently lower your posture.
Kaaaaang!
He deflected the arrow flying from behind with his sword.
“Ugh! No way! “I wasn’t even looking this way!”
Behind the ice pillar on the other side, a blond young man wearing a unique bow made of green leaves let out an expression of astonishment.
Orlando Bale.
He was a high-ranking Sagittarius awakened person who participated in this Seven Star Council.
“joy! You stupid bowman! “You didn’t succeed even after a surprise attack?”
A bald man jumping out from behind a pillar with a pitiful expression.
It was Jason Hardy, a high-ranking awakened Taurus called Iron Fist.
“Shut up! “I shot it from a place you couldn’t see, but didn’t you see me hit it?”
“Eight! This is why I said from the beginning that there was no need for a surprise attack!”
Jason grinned and rushed towards the blue knight.
As befits the title of “Iron Fist,” the clenched fist turned silver like a piece of iron.
“I’m dead!”
The fist that broke the speed of sound swung with a terrifying sound.
The blue knight, who was looking at Jason indifferently while holding a rusty sword, took a step forward.
and.
Hiss.
There was no loud roar or clash of huge forces.
A faint sound like deflating a balloon.
“…uh?”
Jason’s eyes widened.
Blood poured out from his right arm, which had been cut straight from the wrist.
“What is it?”
Jason looks down at the cross section of his severed wrist in disbelief.
His fist, which was called the Iron Fist and had smashed the heads of countless monsters, was rolling around on the floor like rotten garbage.
“What the hell!”
The fear of an incomprehensible situation was greater than the pain of having my arm cut off.
“With something like this….”
Rattling. Calming my pathetically shaking legs.
Jason raised his tightly clenched left fist.
“Don’t think you’ve broken this iron fist, monster!”
The stigmata of Taurus radiated brilliant light.
A powerful wave formed in the fist and poured down like a tidal wave towards the blue knight.
-Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Quang!
Just before the wave hit, the blue knight’s body disappeared like a ghost.
The blue knight who disappeared as if melting into thin air appeared in front of Jason.
“Huh!”
The blue gauntlet struck Jason’s stomach as he stepped back with an urgent expression.
Wow!
With the sound of a club hitting water-soaked leather, Jason’s body flew backwards like a cannonball.
“Wow!”
Jason, pinned against the ice wall, rolled on the floor, clutching his stomach.
“….”
The blue knight turned his head indifferently, as if he was no longer interested.
“Ugh!”
Orlando’s shoulders trembled as he aimed his bow from afar.
“Chiron, the constellation of Sagittarius! Give your apostle an arrow that will pierce the sky!”
A brilliant light burned from the arrowhead made of leaves.
Like the archer in the myth who shot down the star, Orlando let go of his bowstring.
Kwagwagwagwagwa!
A dizzying roar and arrows being fired.
The glacier split along the arrow’s path, shaking the entire cave.
“….”
The blue knight’s steps stopped.
Perhaps because he sensed that this attack would not be easy to block, his dark red burning eyes burned even more fiercely.
A blue knight lowering his waist while sheathing a rusty sword.
He took a rough step with his front foot and raised his sword.
Sigh!
The pure white sword energy stretched out in a straight line and cut Orlando’s arrow in half.
The arrow, split in two, passed through the floor in a V shape, destroying it.
“Huh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Crazy…”
Orlando took a deep breath and hesitantly took a step back.
“What kind of monster have you unleashed on the bastards of Congress?”
The blue knight lightly kicked his foot towards Orlando, who was trying to run away.
In the blink of an eye, the blue knight appeared in front of Orlando and grabbed him by the neck.
“Wow! “Wow!”
The blue knight, who lifted Orlando with one hand, slowly turned his head.
His gaze was directed at the ice pillar at the entrance to the community.
This was the place where Ojin was hiding.
“…I’m going to turn.”
Ojin smiled and looked at the blue knight.
A cool sensation running down my spine.
I wanted to completely agree with Orlando’s cry.
‘What kind of monster have you brought on, bastards of Congress?’
I expected the black-level monster to be powerful.
This was a strength that far exceeded even those expectations.
‘Let’s jump.’
The decision was quick.
If Gaecheon was used, it was a monster that could not be dealt with normally.
The moment Ojin turned around and was about to leave the cave.
“You mean there is a black level here?”
“I’m sure!”
“Is it fair that the person who hits the last hit gets the point?”
Five candidates entered the cave.
It seems like they thought it would be difficult to deal with a black level monster alone, so they formed a party.
“uh…?”
They trembled when they saw the situation inside.
Jason is lying down with his arm cut off, and Orlando is shaking with his neck held.
“What is this?”
“Isn’t that Jason and Orlando?”
“crazy! “Those two got hit?!”
The blue knight, who seemed to have subdued Jason and Orlando, didn’t even show the slightest wound.
“….”
“….”
A cold silence settled in the cavity.
The five candidates, who were looking at each other, all turned at the same time.
“Bounce, bounce!!”
“You can never beat that!”
Five candidates running away without looking back.
Ojin also followed them and fled out of the cave.
‘I’m following you.’
Oh Jin turned his head to look behind him and chewed his lips with a nervous expression.
I saw the blue knight, who had been quiet as if indifferent to the world, chasing after me.
“Damn it.”
Oh Jin’s gaze was directed at the five candidates who were running away ahead of him.
There was only one way he could avoid being pursued by the Blue Knight.
‘Please wait a moment.’
When trying to fire a wire at the five candidates running away earlier.
“Huh oh oh oh oh! No way! “Why, why like this…”
I don’t know when I woke up after fainting, but I saw Namgung-hwi panting in front of the cave entrance.
“Namgoonghwi? “That’s Nam Gung-hwi, right?”
“I am Namgoonghwi, the awakened one! “There’s a black-level monster over there!”
The five candidates who entered the cave late shouted in bright voices, as if they did not know that Nam Gung-Hwi had already been beaten by the Blue Knight and ran away.
Namgoonghwi looked at the five candidates with a pale, exhausted expression.
“I wonder if the monster inside is also…? Oh no, then.”
“Namgoonghwi?”
Candidates tilt their heads while looking at Namgoong Hwi, who is muttering something unknown.
Namgung-hwi asked the candidates in a trembling voice.
“What happened to that monster?”
“They’re coming from behind now!”
“That’s not it!”
With a pale expression.
“The monster’s necklace! “Do you still have the necklace?”
I cry out like a cry.
“yes?”
“Of course I was wearing a necklace.”
“Don’t all the monsters in here wear necklaces?”
The candidates looked at Namgoonghwi as if asking what he was talking about.
Namgoonghwi lifted something from the floor without saying a word.
A monster that looks like a gorilla.
There was nothing on that monster’s neck that was supposed to be there.
“…Why the necklace?”
The candidates’ expressions hardened.
– Jump and jump.
The sound of footsteps echoing low.
The blue knight who walked out of the cave looked up at the clear sky with dark red eyes.
“Uuuuuu.”
The blue knight takes a deep breath.
The blue knight raised his rusty sword high and cried out to the sky.
“HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
An eerie, resonating sound.
As if in response to the cries, the sounds of monsters howling could be faintly heard from all over the snowy field.
No, it’s probably not just a snowy field.
A dungeon where the Seven Star Council is held.
The monsters in the dungeon screamed all at once.
“Seueuuu.”
The blue knight’s dark red eyes burned fiercely.
He slowly raised his hand and grabbed the black necklace around his neck.
and.
Kwasik!
The necklace that hung around the Blue Knight’s neck.
It fell to the floor, shattered into pieces.
