Chapter 63: Chapter 62 - Regressors Like Cider (4)
Chapter 62 - Regressors Like Cider (4)
"Whoops, whoops, whoops... "
Run
Run
Run again
I was running and running through the narrow cave road.
"Fuck, fuck... Kyungjun! Try something!"
"Hey, hey, when, when will it be... "
"Hoo-wook, whoo-wook, that's... This should be... It's strange... I'm sorry... "
He repeatedly urges Gyung-Jun Ahn, but all that comes back is a heartless lament.
"Kurrrr!"
From behind, the monstrous wolf, shrunken in size, was frantically pursuing.
Dig!
A monstrous wolf leaping forward with its pure white fur burning blue, as if using some kind of technique.
Chae Ae Ae!!!
I was able to knock out his teeth at the right time, but soon this was also the limit.
His arms were numb because he had already blocked several attacks, and his breath was up to the tip of his chin.
"What the fuck... "
Situation...
Why did things turn out this way...
***
"Fuck... "
I can still feel the bones in my nose breaking.
If he was in normal physical condition, he would have been able to balance with his arms while falling forward, but he couldn't because his arms were momentarily paralyzed while trying to fend off the giant wolf's attack.
After all, I think avoidance is the answer rather than defense. Even if the posture of blocking the attack just a little bit clumsily, a wrist went out, a shoulder went out, or a finger broke, and it would have returned immediately. Despite being in the ranks of superhumans, the human body is so fragile.
"Whoa... "
I was giving my own feedback on how I should have dealt with it while reviewing the previous battle for a while.
"... "
Something cold and sharp doesn't go away forever. At first, I thought the wolf's life was still there... Feeling strange, I removed the palms that covered my face.
"... Hmm."
When I opened my eyes, I met Kang Chan, who was staring at me with an expressionless face.
Fuck me small... I seem to have heard that
If... Did you think you did it to yourself? No, it's a situation where you have no choice but to think that way.
"... That's not what I said to you... "
I thought for a while about whether I should go out strong like a bully here, but when I saw Kang Chan's cold eyes, I somehow thought of Choi Ji-won from the tutorial, so I quit.
It would be more rational to have a favorable impression even now, rather than being annoyed and then getting hit and returning.
"... People are waiting."
Kang Chan seemed to have accepted my apology as well, so he left the den with me in a low voice.
"... "
Kang Chan. Just as there are various descriptions of him on the Internet, the person he met in person was also an erratic figure.
First of all, I have never seen anyone other than a YouTuber who uses the word 'kid' in reality. On top of that, he speaks ridiculously few words, and always maintains an expressionless face, as if life is empty and empty.
Besides, the gentle momentum that continues without a break? Live? I'm spraying... What is he really looking at so he doesn't let go of his guard? Does it even regress if it brushes like me?
"... If I fight, will I win?"
In my heart, I wondered how strong Kang Chan was. First of all, it looks so damn old from the name.
Judging from his well-trained muscles and momentum, he seems to be a strong player on a level similar to Choi Ji-won's... Well, you can tell by watching him fight a giant wolf.
I got up, patted my dusty back once, and walked along the cave road.
This time, there will be no surprise attack.
***
What followed after that was the same as the last episode.
Everyone gathered together, shouted their names, heard Kang Chan's name, surprised them once, opened the stone door, gathered their weapons, and walked endlessly down the narrow cave.
"... "
How long did he walk against goblins and bats like that?
After walking for a long time, I saw that large cavity from a distance.
"Wow... !"
I suddenly jumped out of place as if I felt something. It's a little embarrassing, but I can't help it.
- Curiosity [A]
- Originally, opposites are attracted. People feel an unknown curiosity about you, and they instinctively take notice.
I plan to use the Curiosity trait here to draw aggro firmly.
"Kuu... "
As if being wary of something, he hesitated and stepped back, forcibly wringing out a drop of cold sweat.
The gaze is uniformly directed toward the ceiling.
Yes.
"Something... Something is felt. Quite strong... "
If you suddenly say, "I think a monster wolf will come out of the ceiling here?"
In the end, the next best thing is to pretend to have detected the monstrous wolf in advance using your keen senses.
"First of all, if you attack first using Gyungjun An's javelin... "
Like that, around the time I was explaining that 'the monster wolf is on the ceiling' in a very twisted way.
"For a moment."
It was Kang Chan who cut me off.
He suddenly frowns on his face.
Wow!
It started spewing out insanely thick life!
"?!"
Embarrassed, I staggered away from him.
How many people has this man killed? The hairs on his skin stand on end, and an impossibly bloody smell vibrates in his nose.
Feeling threatened, I drew my sword without knowing it, and Dok Soo-hee, as if surprised, held the dagger in both hands.
"Uh, uh, no no. That person is a colleague! Wait and see!"
Gyung-Jun Ahn is talking nonsense into the air as if he had lost his mind.
However, the life that took over the space in an instant disappeared just as quickly.
"... I will be back soon."
Kang-chan, with a frown on his face, starts to go back the way we walked.
"W-Where... "
However, Kang Chan did not answer.
It just walks silently, exhaling life from its entire body.
"... "
"... "
Did you detect something?
Should I pursue it, or should I wait according to his words?
Her mouth was open in a daze because it felt like her brain had stopped in the sudden situation.
"... Hey, Junho."
This time, Gyungjun Ahn quietly put his hand on my shoulder.
"... They say the battle is right around the corner, so I have something to tell you right now."
"... What is it?"
"My ability is... I can't control it."
"... "
This...
What's the situation... ?
Strong spirit.
It is a word that means that a supernatural being possesses a human or object.
In real life, shamans receive divine powers and get on the throne, and in creative works, shamans, sorcerers, etc., Are mainly used by talented people with oriental sensibility, not fantasy sensibility.
"My character is... It is 'Kangshin'. To be precise, the soul clinging to me now is my characteristic, and I can voluntarily hand over the initiative of the body... "
So, when Ahn Gyeong-jun revealed that his character is 'Kangshin', it was inevitable that the awkward silence lingered around.
"If... The fact that you entered the 3rd to 5th floors... "
Dok Soo-hee asked cautiously.
"You're right... Due to the compulsion of this spirit attached to me, I was forced to enter the 3rd-5th floor... He threatened to keep me from sleeping for the rest of my life if I didn't get on the hardest difficulty... "
Ahn Gyung-jun nodded weakly.
Indeed. I was curious about what kind of English a timid person like Kyung-Jun Ahn entered the most difficult level. It was not the will of one's own will, but the will of the soul clinging to it.
"Rather than that, what do you mean by out of control?"
"... First of all, the activation condition is the method that activates when I feel a threat to my life."
"... "
Just before, when Kang Chan spewed out his life force, did he stop Kang Shin? I thought he was talking nonsense into the air, but apparently he wasn't.
According to Gyungjun Ahn, the soul attached to his body is a master of spearmanship. He is good at throwing spears as well as basic spearmanship.
"But it's a pretty selfish standard that you have to feel the threat of life first, but it's a problem even after you have a strong body... "
The problem is, once you become a strong god, you literally can't control it. If Ahn Gyeong-jun asks if he is an evil spirit, he will do it, but his personality is quite selfish.
The activation, effect, and ending time are all strange spiritual gods. I also understood why Ahn Gyeong-jun was reluctant to activate the trait.
"So, I'm a bit hesitant to initiate a fight... "
"... But to wait and fight Kang Chan, it's never coming... "
Even after about 30 minutes, Kang Chan showed no sign of returning. As Gyungjun Ahn said, how long should he wait?
"Excuse me... Still, how much cooperation is possible? The soul."
It was Dok Soo-hee who spoke at that time.
"Junho, would you like to try it with just the three of us? I've been thinking... With the three of us, I think it's possible."
Poison Hee took out a dagger from her bosom and carefully explained her characteristics.
"I don't know what else... I am confident in my destructive power. In particular, I think Kyung-Jun-nim and his characteristics match very well."
Unlike Dok Soo-hee's first image, it was a very unexpected characteristic... If what she said was true, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the three of us to defeat the monstrous wolf.
"... Even the soul seems to be fine... "
"... Then, let's go ahead and do it."
Yes, if it's fucked up, it's enough to go back.
The three of us were ready to subdue the wolf guy.
"... "
The three of us slowly entered the cavity, and soon raised our heads to face the wolf sighing in the ceiling.
"Krrrr... "
A monstrous wolf descended from the ceiling and started growling, as if it had recognized that it had been caught.
Even my skin felt tingling from the murderous blood he spewed out.
"... Let's go! Mr. Kyung-jun!"
But it's okay. With the three of us, it was an enemy we could defeat.
Dok Soo-hee held the dagger in both her hands in reverse, and I drew the sword from her scabbard.
It's a 3 vs 1 situation... Okay. With the combination of the three of us... We can win... !
"That... "
However, Ahn Gyeong-jun's voice was too small and weak to be said to have become a strong god.
"Why not... I'm very afraid of dying... "
He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, saying he wasn't feeling well.
"This... It's not... "
"... "
"... "
So me and Dok Soo-hee blankly looked at Kyung-Jun Ahn.
Chew.
The moment the giant monstrous wolf flicked his tongue out as if he had found a tasty treat.
"... It bounces back the way it came."
As if the three of us had made a promise, we started running like mad toward the road we had walked so far.
