I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 370

I am not a returner Episode 370:

Constellation of Black Stars (6)

“What is this again?!”

Ha-eun screamed while standing on the mud that shook like waves.

A body shaking back and forth like an inflatable doll in front of a store that opened for kidney surgery.

Even if you had a superhuman body, it was difficult to maintain your balance while the mud that was up to your knees was shaking like waves.

“Tsk.”

Ojin clicked his tongue while barely maintaining his balance on the shaking mud.

Should I say I let my guard down?

No, I had no choice but to admit that this was just a short thought.

‘The reason they didn’t erase their footprints.’

Isn’t there only one reason why he hid himself even though he didn’t proudly erase his traces?

‘Was the footprint itself a bait?’

They must have known that they would move when the black star constellation appears.

I ended up getting caught on the bait.

“Hehehehehe!”

A group of horse-headed beasts escaped onto the turbulent mudflats.

They had wide flippers on the soles of their feet, like flippers, and were gliding over the turbulent mud as if they were riding surfboards.

After crossing the black crack three days ago and arriving on Earth, they had been hiding under this mudflat without going anywhere.

‘This is why I can’t find it.’

Did you say that it is dark under the lamp?

I never thought that they would be waiting for me at the place I first arrived without moving a single step.

‘by the way.’

Ohjin looked at the horse-headed beastmen who were now making horse-like cries.

A horse’s head, webbed body covered in hard scales, and hands and feet with sharp nails.

Although I had already seen it in the video.

“Is it because it’s a seahorse that it looks like that?”

Wow.

It looks so insincere.

There’s something about ‘seahorse’, isn’t it? It’s like a magical beast created with the crude idea, ‘Then I can just change the appearance of a fishman to a horse’s head!’

“Hehehehe!”

I don’t know if you know Ojin’s thoughts like that.

The seahorses surrounded Ojin and his group, who were struggling in the mud, and let out bizarre cries as if mocking them.

A leading seahorse raised its scaly arms.

Damn.

The forearm split and sharp thorns like awls sprouted.

A fishy odor emanated from the purple liquid that formed on the tip of the thorn.

‘Is it poison?’

Ojin looked at the purple liquid on the tip of the thorn with narrowed eyes.

I don’t know if it’s the same type of seahorse poison that Yoko suffered from before, but it’s sure to be quite annoying if poisoned.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A seahorse gliding on rippling mud as if riding a wave.

A sharp thorn aimed at Ojin’s uvula and dug into it.

It was an attack that was difficult to avoid since I was stuck up to my knees and couldn’t move my body properly.

“The attack is as insincere as it appears.”

Ojin used the Thunder Stamp to rise into the air and easily dodge the thorns.

“Use it.”

He pulled Dantalian out of his belt, shaped it into a spear, held it backwards, and struck it down.

The spear pierced between the seahorse’s eyes penetrated its body and stuck in the floor.

Instant death without even a chance to scream.

Ojin came down to the beach again and stretched out his hand toward the spear stuck between the seahorse’s eyes.

Kuddeuk!

After breaking the skull, the spear stuck in the seahorse’s head slipped out as if it was still alive and returned to Ojin’s hand.

‘It’s true that it’s difficult to move, though.’

I haven’t lived a life so soft that I couldn’t even use it just because it was difficult to move.

of course.

The same goes for his group gathered here to fight the ‘Black Star Constellation’.

“Hwaaaaaaaap!”

Sakaki let out a roar that was close to a roar and grabbed the shoulder of the rushing seahorse.

He grabbed my shoulder so tightly that I couldn’t escape and hit my forehead like a hammer.

“Uraachaaaa!”

Quad deuk!

The sunken head of a seahorse.

Sakaki grabbed the caved-in seahorse’s head and threw it towards the group of seahorses that rushed after it.

The massive body of a seahorse weighing hundreds of kilos was fired like a cannonball.

“Are you watching, Koshirooooo! A man can overcome even this much of a disadvantage with spirit!”

“Yes oh yabung!”

Koshiro answered with a strong voice and spread his arms wide.

The stigmata of the Shield constellation radiated light, creating dozens of translucent shields around his body.

“Defend!”

Dozens of shields stretched out like a curtain in the air and shot towards the group of seahorses.

Heeheeheehee!

The seahorses, pushed by the translucent shields flying from all directions, bounced back and rolled on the muddy mud.

The attack power itself seemed to be almost non-existent, but it only did enough to make the group of seahorses that surged in like a tidal wave step back for a moment.

That alone was enough to create an opportunity for a counterattack.

“Let me borrow your shield for a moment!”

Lee Woo-hyuk pulled a sword from his waist and jumped onto the translucent shield floating in the air.

Lee Woo-hyuk climbed onto the shield with agile movements like a cat and raised his drawn sword high.

“Push away!”

The stigmata of Leo radiated intense light and a fierce gust of wind blew.

Each and every one of them was a gust of sharp sword energy.

A fierce gust of wind gathered around Lee Woo-hyuk’s sword raised high.

“Hmph!”

Lee Woo-hyuk jumps and runs from shield to shield as if crossing stepping stones.

He fiercely swung his sword with gusts of wind towards the seahorses lying about, blocked by the shield.

Quad deud deuk!

The body of a seahorse being torn apart as if bitten by a lion’s teeth.

Red blood poured down on the mud.

“Whoa.”

Lee Woo-hyuk, who wiped out dozens of seahorses with a single sword, let out a short breath and landed on the mud again.

“Get out of the way, out of the way!”

“hmm?”

The urgent voice heard at that time.

Lee Woo-hyuk followed his instinctive intuition and quickly escaped.

and.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A huge flame swept away the seahorses crawling out of the mud.

A heat storm so intense that the wet mud instantly dried out like a dry desert, sweeping the surrounding area.

“Ugh!”

A soft sigh came out of Lee Woo-hyuk’s mouth.

Even though he was quite far away, a heat that was enough to scorch his skin attacked him.

His skin, which had the body of a high-ranking awakened person, was so scorched that if he had been an ordinary awakened person, he would have been roasted just by the heat spreading around him.

‘What kind of power is this…!’

Lee Woo-hyuk looked back at the place where the fire had poured out with eyes filled with shock.

There, Ha-eun, with her eye patch removed, was scratching her head with an awkward smile.

“Ehehe. Sorry, I still have a hard time controlling my fire power~”

“….”

You just created that tsunami of fire with that carefree expression on your face.

Lee Woo-hyuk shook his head with an expression that seemed absurd.

“Grunt. “Miss, it’s so uncomfortable to move.”

Ha-eun frowned as she looked down at the mud that had soaked up to her thighs.

She looked back at the dried dirt where the water had been blown away by the hot flames and shouted.

“Ojina! “Are we going to burn everything here and dry it out?”

“Wait a moment.”

With Ha-eun’s power, she could sweep this area with fire and dry up the dust, but if she did that, everyone else would be swept away as well.

‘and.’

Oh Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at the spot where Ha-eun shot out the flames.

All the moisture had been blown away by the extreme heat, and the dried mud was instantly becoming wet again and turning into sticky mud.

‘It’s no use trying to evaporate the moisture.’

This is a place facing the sea.

If it flies, you just have to fill it up.

“Ugh! Oh Mr. Ojin! “The mud is getting deeper!”

Lee Woo-hyuk, who was furiously slaughtering a seahorse, frowned and shouted.

As he said.

My legs, which had been submerged up to my knees, were now submerged in mud up to my thighs.

As if being sucked into a swamp.

‘for a moment.’

It’s getting deeper?

“….”

Ojin looked around with narrowed eyes.

one thing.

I couldn’t see what I needed to see.

“…Where is it?”

[What are you looking for?]

“Why that constellation of Hippocampus?”

Now, seahorses crawling out of the mudflats are flocking toward Ojin and his group like a swarm of bees.

Now would be the perfect time to defeat the party members individually.

Where is Anceladus, the constellation Hippocampus?

[Aren’t you just sitting back and watching? If you are a constellation, they will tend to ignore you because you are human.]

“A guy like that would set a trap like this?”

If Anceladus was ignoring Ojin and his party.

There was no reason to set up such an annoying trap in the first place.

It’s not that I’m ignoring you, but it doesn’t come out even when it’s not…

“Ha.”

Oh Jin, who was continuing his thoughts, let out a low laugh and wiped his face.

“…I was thinking wrong.”

I chewed my lip as I looked at the group of seahorses crawling out of the mud.

‘They weren’t trying to surprise us by using their geographical advantage.’

I was thinking wrong.

I was mistaken.

Because it is in contact with the sea, it is made of muddy mud.

Of course, I thought this was a mudflat.

“This is not a mud flat.”

Here.

It is a ‘swamp’.

“Those seahorses were bait to keep us here in the first place.”

It was not an attempt to make a surprise attack using geographical advantage.

The geographical advantage itself was the most threatening attack.

Grumble!

My body, which had been immersed in mud up to my thighs, was suddenly submerged up to my waist.

“What is this?”

Ha-eun tried to get out of the mud with a confused expression, but her body did not move, as if a huge monster was pulling her down.

“Mr. Oh Jin, this is….”

Lee Woo-hyuk looked back at Oh Jin with a stiff expression.

No matter how difficult it was to get out once you got stuck in the mud, that was the standard for a normal person.

Each and every one of Ojin’s group gathered here is a high-ranking awakened person who has reached 9 stars or higher.

They are superhumans who can easily escape even if they are buried in the dirt up to their necks rather than their waists.

but.

“Ugh! “Oh my body…!”

“Koshiro! It’s spirit! “Hold on with spirit!”

The swamp that was devouring them… no, the swamp was holding on tightly and pulling fiercely, preventing even such superhuman bodies from escaping.

A supernatural phenomenon as if the entire earth, several kilometers long, was alive.

There must be only one being that can cause this phenomenon.

And the being was now hiding in the swamp below, pulling them along.

“Vega.”

[I am my child! We have to get out of here quickly!]

“I know.”

Ojin took out the wire shooter on his wrist and handed it to Vega.

[Is this…?]

“Tie other people’s bodies with wire and deliver them to Mr. Sakaki.”

In order to get out of the swamp, it was impossible without the strength of a Taurus awakened person.

[Ah, I understand!]

Vega quickly moved through the air, tied Ha-eun and Lee Woo-hyuk Koshiro’s bodies with wire, and then delivered the wire shooter to Sakaki.

Sakaki accepted the wire-connected shooter and turned his head toward Ojin.

“What are you asking me to do with this, little brother Ojin?”

“Please take on Mr. Koshiro’s shield and get the others out of the swamp!”

“But even so…”

Sakaki looked around with an embarrassed expression.

The extent of the swamp encroaching on the coast is several kilometers.

No matter how much you get out of the swamp, unless you can fly, you will fall into the swamp again.

“It only takes 10 seconds.”

“Okay. “I understand.”

Sakaki nodded and shouted towards Koshiro.

“Koshirooooo! “Send the shield this way!”

“Yes oh yabung!”

A translucent shield flew towards Sakaki.

“Hmm!”

The Taurus stigmata burned brightly and Sakaki’s legs broke through the mud.

Sakaki, standing on the shield created by Koshiro, stamped his feet roughly.

“Errachaaaaaa!”

Couuuuuuuuck!

Sakaki soared tens of meters into the air.

“Aaaah! Fly! Fly!”

“Tsk…!”

The bodies of Ha-eun and Lee Woo-hyuk Koshiro, who were connected to the wire, also rose into the air along with Sakaki.

Unless you can fly, it won’t be long before you fall into the swamp again.

“Okay then.”

That amount of time is enough.

It’s a joke!

A fiercely burning blue thunderbolt.

Ojin’s right arm exploded, and an arm made of lightning appeared inside.

Ojin twisted the corners of his mouth as he plunged Raijin’s arm deeper into the swamp.

“Stop hiding and come out, you horse-headed bastard.”

Kwajajajajajajag!

A torrent of lightning imbued with incredible power spread throughout the swamp.
