Regressor Takes Everything - Chapter 129

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

TL Note: There was a mix-up with the chapter uploaded, chapter 130 was uploaded as chapter 129. The issue is fixed now. Sorry about that.

Quaang!! 

Like a huge lion, Nemea hit the floor on all fours and sped around at a terrifying speed, scattering golden afterimages. No matter how tired she was, her body approached that of a catastrophic-level demon. It would be difficult for an ordinary A-class hunter to follow that movement, but Kang Yoo-sik was different. Chasing after Nemea, his naturalization spear and other magic poured incessantly, and more than half of them hit intact. 

“Keugh…!” Nemea, who was constantly flinging her body, made a slightly puzzled expression. Although she had chosen a strategy of giving flesh and taking bones, she was not going to run wild. This was because her excellent mage’s linking attack could be overpowered at once, as if dealing with dozens of people. 

That was why it was best to target and attack Kang Yoo-sik when he saw a gap, but the problem was that the gap was seldom seen. 

Kwaaang! At the place where he was about to throw himself, a spear of flame flew one step ahead, and when he looked at the path and avoided it, lightning and a storm came rushing in as if he had been waiting for it. Nemea’s hair all over her body stood on bristle at Kang Yoo-sik’s offensive, which read all of her movements and even predicted them. 

‘A level comparable to an S-class hunter… … !’ It not only recognizes movements, but also read intentions and predicts the future. It felt like facing an enemy who has been on the battlefield for decades. Nemea shuddered and rejoiced at the sight of Kang Yoo-sik constantly showing that her abilities known to the world were nothing but medicine. 

‘Today’s ascension was my destiny!’ Nemea’s eyes flashed at the oath stained with madness, and her scorched and destroyed body instantly regenerated and expanded. Then, her golden hair scattered radiance, and her magic power was explosively amplified and her movement changed. 

Quaang! 

“Keugh?!” Nemea’s body hit the floor, ignoring all the magic that was shot at her and threw her body away, and Kim Jin-hyuk, realizing that the intent to kill was directed at him, raised his sword. attack, defense, evasion. Numerous possibilities came to mind in an instant, and soon they scattered as they recalled their horribly shattered bodies. 

‘Impossible.’ No matter what, he couldn’t resist the enemy in front of him. What Kim Jin-hyuk could see was a gap that he could not help but overcome even with his innate talent and polished skills. 

“Where… … !”

 Kang Yoo-sik once again intervened in front of Kim Jin-hyuk, who had hardened, and the two’s attacks crossed once again as if they had waited. 

Kwaaaaang!! The bodies of the two collided and bounced back, and Kim Jin-hyuk was surprised but quickly caught Kang Yoo-sik’s body. 

“Yoo, Yoo-sik! It’s fine?!” 

“Ugh… … are you okay. I am not dead.” 

It looked like he was seriously injured as he was bleeding from his mouth, but Kang Yoo-sik stood up again as if drawing out all his remaining strength. His unwavering appearance made one think that the injury was minor. Looking behind him, Kim Jin-hyuk’s face turned pale. He had been training so much to be helpful, but it seemed it was all in vain.

“I, I….” 

“Haha… … sooooo….” 

When Kim Jin-hyuk trembled with his fists clenched. Nemea, who had bounced across the other side, also got up in the thick smoke. In the blink of an eye, half of the abdomen, which had been blown off by a direct hit, was half healed, but the condition was not very good. It was because the defense was weakened as much as the mana gathered into a fist to attack Kang Yoo-sik, and the damage was great. 

‘Above all, the pure white flash that was published this time… The quality was different from her previous attack.’ 

Nemea didn’t know it, but her S-class equipment, Aketrav’s special move ‘Cleave Solish’, was filled with Nata’s money. Even if he blocked it with all his might, her injury was bound to be great because it allowed an attack that was not enough from the front.

 ‘Still, with this, the victory is mine…’ He could clearly feel the sensation of the blow that had just broken the magic barrier and penetrated his intestines. Even if he looked fine on the outside, his injuries would be deep and he would have no time to use magic due to the pain, so it would be rather easy from now on. 

“Whoa… Whoa.” 

Chijik! When the ripped-off abdomen completely regenerated, Nemea took up her posture again. A golden body burning brightly with the remaining life as firewood, and eyes burning with murderous intent. Kang Yoo-sik bit his lips with a solemn expression at Nemea’s appearance, which seemed to be about to settle this time, and raised the corner of his mouth into her. 

‘It’s going smoothly.’ 

He added the stream change to Yongrin’s armor to drain the shock and pretended to have received a fatal wound through the blooming of the Black Lotus. The other side thought it was a fatal wound, but in reality, it was a minor wound. It wasn’t even as painful as the consumptive disease before returning, so it had no effect on magic at all.

‘This is why everyone hides their strength.’ 

If Nemea had known about the existence of Yongrin’s armor and other skills, she wouldn’t have fought like this even if she hadn’t consumed her physical strength and magic power in the previous chase. The winner was determined by who could respond to more variables. That was Kang Yoo-sik’s idea, and the situation in front of him proved it. 

‘Now I have to finish it soon.’ 

It was a bit tricky since the body strengthening skill is being activated with the last bit of energy, but it could be easily finished if one were to use Black Lotus Bloom to unlock the skill and block it. However, if it was a simple change that deceived the touch, disabling and blocking the skill would significantly increase the consumption of mana no matter how short it was. 

‘You have to go carefully.’ If he missed he wouldn’t die, but that much time will be delayed. When Kang Yoo-sik was thinking about how to lure him in, Jin-hyuk strode forward. 

“You… … .” 

“Is this a match?” 

After catching his breath, Kim Jin-hyuk aimed the sword in his hand. “I’ll buy you time.” 

It was like he knew he could do it. Kang Yoo-sik recalled a scene before his sudden return to his aloof yet mysterious appearance. At that time, the mysterious figure he showed when he threw the last sword was now visible in front of his eyes. 

‘This….’ 

In fact, it was meaningless for Kim Jin-hyuk to intervene here. Rather, there was a risk of him getting hurt by clumsily intervening, and the best thing to do was to set it aside and use it as bait as before. But if the change he was seeing right now was real, it was worth trying, even if it was meaningless.

‘Yes. I started acting anyway… Let’s go all the way.’ 

Opportunities like this weren’t created by trying to create them. Kang Yoo-sik, who made the decision, caught his breath and looked at Kim Jin-hyuk’s back. “Ten seconds. Come in if you can stand it.” 

The same story they had shared in front of Blood Wolf during the practical exam in the past. Recalling that memory, Kim Jin-hyuk smiled. “Fifteen seconds.” 

Quaang! 

Kim Jin-hyuk’s body was projected forward, and Nemea’s eyes flashed in his eyes. The bond between the two. How fragile and powerful was this material? Nemea smiled at the corners of her mouth as she pictured the figures of the two demons that would be created by her own ascension. She moved.

Cagan! 

Kim Jin-hyuk’s body, which suddenly sped up, let go of the attack. 

“Huh…!” Right after she defended herself, the sword stabbed her in the eye, and while Nemea panicked, she pulled her body behind her and struck her again with her feet. 

Kwakwang! The bodies of the two clashed violently, and Nemea’s eyes flashed. ‘Indeed… … Did he amplify his physical abilities with that bracelet?’ 

It was probably a conversion that he cherished until the very end. It was a fairly menacing attack, but it couldn’t completely fill the gap between the two. 

Fuquaak! Her shoulder blade was cut and blood splattered, and his fist grazed her ribs. In a situation where he seemed to be about to fall out at any moment, Kim Jin-hyuk bit his teeth tightly. ‘Persevere.’ Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

The favor and trust that he had only received so far. The only thing that could repay and prove it was to endure this moment. Under that conviction, Kim Jin-hyuk recalled everything he had learned and used the best move in it. 

Pacan! When the sword shed his fingernails broke, he immediately kicked the broken blade with his foot, aimed at his face, and hit his wrists with the handle, avoiding the swinging fist. As the battle continued, the wounds spread all over his body, and blood was scattered all over him, but he himself did not collapse, and time continued to pass. 

In that bizarre situation where even the sense of time was distorted, Kim Jin-hyuk felt an unknown sensation. ‘Why did it have to be a sword?’ 

There was no longer a sword in his hand. But why, even in the middle of this, the only thing that came to mind was the method of using the sword? Wasn’t it that he was not talented with swordsmanship, but was he cursed with no choice but to wield swords? The questions and dissatisfaction that had accumulated unconsciously hit the huge pillar inside Kim Jin-hyuk’s body. 

Cooong! Thus came natural talent and destiny. The Vajrapani sword, which must have been born by the great growth of the Vajrapani sacred bone and the awakening of the sword spirit, disappeared as one of its pillars was lost. Then, what kind of person will Kim Jin-hyuk, who was created by Kang Yoo-sik, who was standing here, become? 

[You have blossomed into a new possibility engraved in your soul.]

 [You have acquired the unique skill, ‘No Spirit’.] 

That was to be proven from now on. “It’s over!!”

Quaang! 

When Nemea stepped on the advance, the ground in the area sank completely, and Kim Jin-hyuk’s posture shook. The perfect gap created by trampling the ground earlier. There, as in the beginning, Nemea aimed for Kim Jin-hyuk’s right arm and slashed the capital.

 Pacan! All skills that strengthened the body of the whole body were destroyed. Everything. 

‘This… … ’ Nemea’s eyes reached Kang Yoo-sik, who was in the rear, and she saw him smiling with Lion Purification activated. At that sight, an unbelievable scene came into Nemea’s mind. Kim Jin-hyuk’s fist then touched Nemea’s chest. 

Kwaaang-! With a huge explosion, the two bodies were pushed back, leaving marks on the floor, and silence arose in the tumultuous surroundings. Blood flowed down the tip of Nemea’s right hand. No matter how surprised she was, she didn’t do anything stupid to stop the attack, and that power and speed were not something Kim Jin-hyuk, who was pushed to the limit, could block and avoid. 

That was why Kim Jin-hyuk was hit on his right shoulder as he came onto her. “Cool!” He channeled all that power into his opposite fist and struck Nemea in the chest. The hollow shape of her chest told of the complete destruction of her heart, and Nemea vomited black blood. 

“From the beginning… to the end… Everyone was fooled….” 

With that, Kim Jin-hyuk collapsed with all his strength. And Nemea smiled bitterly at Kang Yoo-sik, who was supporting her.

“Is it intended… … Or is it a coincidence?” 

To Nemea’s question, Kang Yoo-sik glanced at Kim Jin-hyuk, who had lost consciousness, and answered calmly. “He knew what he did. Where is that?” 

No matter how much one were to help and add strength, in the end, one could only complete yourself. That was why Kang Yoo-sik just suggested various ways and opened up possibilities, and Kim Jin-hyuk got what he wanted among them. “Is it… What a pity… … .” Seeing the two of them, Nemea muttered in a faint voice. “Good… Material… … .” 

Cooong! Before Nemea could speak further, her body fell forward, and could not stand up. A key executive who helped raise the name of the revelation of Tacheon by becoming a disaster-class demon in the future. Nemea’s breath then stopped.

Whoa… … .” Kang Yoo-sik, who saw this, let out a sigh. 

‘But what the hell did this guy get?’ No matter how much Nemea was tired of her continuous pursuit, beaten and injured by herself, and even though her powers had been lowered due to her strengthening magic being released, she was by no means weak. In particular, considering that Kim Jin-hyuk’s physical condition was as good as a mop, it was an absurd situation that he had just finished with one blow. 

‘Looking at the ending with a fist, it must not be a sword soul… Looking at the last blow, it’s similar to the Icheonhwa Ryu I collected last time….’

Was it possible to acquire the acquired skill again? While Kang Yoo-sik was immersed in thought about a possibility he had never thought of, Kim Jin-hyuk, who was being held, slowly opened his eyes. 

“Ah, have you come to your senses?”

“Woah, that guy… … ?” 

“Dead. one last room. It was so damn awesome.” 

“Yes… … I’m glad… … .” 

Kim Jin-hyuk was relieved by Kang Yoo-sik’s story. He desperately held on to his consciousness, wondering if Nemea might be alive, but now he didn’t have to. With consciousness slowly fading, Kim Jin-hyuk muttered as he looked up at Kang Yoo-shik, who was hugging him. 

“Yoo-sik… … me… … I just acquired a unique skill.” 

“What? Really?” 

“Yes. It’s a skill called… … I don’t know the details yet, but I think it’s a great skill.” 

“… … .” 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at Kim Jin-hyuk’s response with a strange expression. Sword soul was a skill he had acquired even before returning, so he would have thought so, but to learn a skill that looked much better just by hearing its name made him feel a bit sick to his stomach.

However, it only lasted for a while. Kang Yoo-sik, who brushed off his emotions sooner than expected, smiled. “Congratulations.” 

If Kim Jin-hyuk did better, the benefits would come to him as well, the owner of his debts. At that thought, Kim Jin-hyuk muttered with a relaxed expression. “I don’t think I would have been able to do it if I had only swung a sword… Thanks to encountering and learning various techniques, I think I managed to break through. So….” 

Holding Kang Yoo-sik’s hand, Kim Jin-hyuk smiled faintly. “It’s all thanks to you. Thank you so much… … .” 

Kang Yoo-sik looked down for a moment at her sincere thanks, then smiled. “If you’re so grateful, you should pay it back instead of just saying it.” 

“I have to… … Now I really can’t figure out how to pay it back in the future….” 

How could he replay the countless favors and trust that he had received so far? He used to be a Hunter and tried to repay him by bringing gold and silver treasures, but now he had no idea what to do or how to do it. While Kim Jin-hyuk was lost in his thoughts in a daze over that immeasurable debt, Kang Yoo-sik merely shrugged. “If you don’t know, stay by my side until I say I’m done. I’ll look into it.” 

Of course, she had no reason to say that she was done now. In that case, there was only lifelong slavery. Kim Jin-hyuk smiled slightly and replied in a satisfied voice, as if he knew Kang Yoo-sik’s intentions. “That… … That would be nice.”

“…What?” Notification windows popped up before his eyes one after another, and it was the first time he had seen them. When Kang Yoo-sik was watching in a daze at that sudden situation. 

[Creditor ‘Kang Yoo-sik’ is granted seizure execution permission.]

Perong! The contract, stamped with the seal of seizure, fluttered in front of his eyes. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
