Regress and Eat

The moment I killed the last chimera in Phase 3 and got the dungeon key and extra reward ready for Donor 1.

I was in a place quite far from Nicole and the portal.

Hansul told me through telepathy. Nicole's in a state of shock right now, so we can't use [Landscapers] for a while, so please stay where you are. You said you would follow Mana's strings created by [Battlefield Command] to pick him up.

‘I was going to go after the target anyway. ’

If Han Seol is also targeting me, he will be thinking the same thing.

Nicole may have really deteriorated due to Mana consumption, or may have already been overwhelmed by Han Snow.

He must be approaching me to make sure I can avoid her eyes.

‘You don't have to fight on this outskirts. ’

Instead of waiting, I quickly followed Manat's strings in the direction of the snowflake.

Either he saw that Nicole was naturally incapacitated with his own eyes or he disabled Nicole with his own hands, in either case Hangul will be coming near where Nicole is, i.e., the portal.

I felt it would be beneficial to fight as close to the portal as possible for the possibility of isolation in the fog shortly after the battle with Han Snow.

That's why Han Seol would have met me much sooner than he expected.

After encountering it like that, I had no choice but to think of someone, looking at the frenzy shining in the eyes of Han Snow.

‘It's similar to Park Chang-hee. ’

Park Chang-hee exhibited irrational hatred that I couldn't understand.

A sigh of distorted ownership that exceeds my usual level.

Different kinds of emotions, but common ground is that they're both obsessed with me.

"Was Han Seol cursed as well, not the cursed one? ’

I don't understand.

"What's the curse for?

And why is everyone obsessed with Seo Jin-wook?

‘Then Seo Gyu-chul is almost certain. ’

I remembered what happened to the seed that appeared after killing Park Chang-hee.

Do you think the same thing will happen if you kill him? The seeds that hid in the heart of the Chinese New Year appear, fail to devour me instead of the dead host, and perish by my curse?

I wasn't sure yet.

Shhh!

As I ran, I saw shiny Mana patterns all over his body. What equipment is in place has already been analyzed. You can clearly see rare artifacts that defend against magic and status attacks.

The shield can only be broken with greater force.

How many skills are targeted at your body.

[Hayes!]

[Increased physical strength!]

[Physical Enhancement!]

[Increases Combat Sense!]

Whoo-hoo!

The day of the dead cries.

Mana whirls with a sword and fires with a purple sword.

[Artha's Sword!]

The herbs opened and his eyes widened.

Phage!

The target doesn't just stare at you, either.

A five-stranded sword extending from the sword of Hansnow tears the fog like lightning.

The flashes that threatened me intertwined and made a whirl.

Grrr!

Collision.

The power struggle did not last long.

Immediately, with the heavy black, a purple storm swept away the blade of snow and hurled toward the hidden body behind it.

His expression widened. I saw an unbelievable scene.

“Ugh!”

Hansnow can withstand a purple storm with a sword and barely miss it.

Purple claws slash the ground behind her back, avoiding her.

“No way! ”

Screaming voices.

Hansnow's hand, which bounced off my sword, was trembling. It was the aftermath of overcoming the resistance.

Three months ago, I was surprised when I first saw Han Seol's core. Known as a Class A Hunter in this era, she actually had Mana in her system, a high-SS Hunter.

But...

"You weren't the only one hiding it! ’

If a machete amplifies five times my Mana, it inflates five times my Mana Barrel.

Shhh!

The user flies at the same speed as the light. Along Ben's sword horizontally, the sword draws a crescent trajectory. The face of Hansnow who avoided it was blue.

The blade that was sprayed with a glint of a curve with a single swing has already completed a single inspection.

The sword that remained in the air like a mirage had to be plunged into oblivion the next moment.

Weeing!

But now, along the path where I cut with my sword, the purple rays remained rich in this air.

The vision becomes reality.

“What · · · · What · · · ·! ”

Inspection that crosses the boundary of compassion and agreement.

When you have mastered [Artha's Swordsman], the possible attacks appear before Snow Snow.

‘It's not over if you try to avoid it. ’

Every time one of the swords struck the other, there was a storm. The earth shifts and the fog fades for a moment. The cold sweat flashed in the fog and disappeared. I could see that I was out of my mind. I couldn't be more wary of the sword after I cut it off, even though I tried to block it with all my concentration. The purple flashes that surrounded us grew in number.

Moreover, the sword did not stay in one place forever. My travel path was not interrupted, and I slid to a subtle position to interrupt the movement of Hansnow.

As if I were laying a trap, I scattered shrapnel of sharp swords around the area.

The unbelievable expression becomes increasingly hopeless.

We will not just let this sword float for thousands of years, it will be predictable.

That's enough! ’

I've drawn the trajectory of the sword that surrounds me.

Following the suction made from Mana, a group of purple stars in the fog tilt sharply in one direction.

Suffocation!]

At the same time.

The purple rain falls. The rain was against the flow of gravity. A fierce sword that spills 360 degrees towards the body of Hansnow.

At that moment, Mana flashed from Han Seol's heart.

Whoops!

Continuing, oscillating spine and bone.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of swords collided around the snowflake and scattered light.

A dust storm pushes the fog away from the shock wave.

After a while, even that dust was walking.

“Ugh · ·! Ugh · ·! ”

Han Seol stood there instead of being slaughtered by the sword and turned into a rag.

In front of it, there were countless layers of thin curtains of light like Aurora, which smoothly flowed down and made waves.

It was a shield that just prevented the attack.

That's a disposable shield like [Mysterious Shroud Shield].

‘There is no next time. ’

The attack was a destructive force that didn't even need to be used to stop that item.

Centuries later, she was forced to mobilize urgently, and once I knew I would stop her, I cared for Mana.

Pot!

The ground is full.

I run to Hansul with the Shocking Wave.

When she was running away from her body.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

I've detected an entity approaching here at a processing speed.

The fog made me notice a little slow.

Damn it!

It stopped about 10 meters from us.

Han Seol hasn't noticed its existence yet.

On the other hand, my eyes grew larger as I saw something floating beyond the fog.

Whoo-hoo!

Red Mana rises from the mist.

I can't believe it, but it was unfolding before my eyes.

I've seen that skill.

Not in this era, but in my past life as Seung-hyun Choi!

"Is this it? ’

My family was wrong.

"Was the link made here?!" ’

I felt like my heart was about to burst, and I changed the path of the swinging sword that was pretending to attack Hansnow and struck the sword into the fog.

Beyond that, the skills prepared by someone were interrupted.

And then, through the fog, something came into my mind.

It was a teleportation that anyone within a certain range could hear.

- · · · · · · · You're catching on fast. I didn't think I'd be able to see you this far from the fog.

Han Seol and I.

And he's been telepathizing us both in the fog.

The situation came to an unexpected point.

A willing spirit sprinkled within a certain distance, like a pulse of sound, rather than a specific Telepathy shot at the opponent. The corpse told me that I would have heard it with her.

"Huh, huh? Wait · · · This, where have you heard of Telepathy? ’

The creature hiding in the fog revealed itself.

Han stared at her in horror.

And then, suddenly, the sword kicked in.

Oh, I see! This pulse... Immortal! Immortal! Shit! Shit! Shit! Hey, we need to get out of here now. If you use that skill once, it's all over. Hurry! No, you'd better "accept" my proposal quickly! It's ruined! "

His gaze is fixed on the opponent's battle suit. Nicole's clothes.

On the other hand, my eyes were fixed on her face.

My voice came out through the teeth of the dark gate.

“· · · · · · · Angelica! ”

*

The sword pecked at my mind like it was seizing.

"Hurry! It's a shame that monster doesn't speak this language yet, so he's using Telepathy, so I wouldn't recognize him if I were imitating a human!" Run, run, run! Escape? Immortals can manipulate everything and take away memories. Didn't you hear me? No matter what happens, don't hand my lever over to that monster! No! "

At that time, in the fog, Angelica launched her skill once again, surprisingly. at a much faster rate than before.

A long, red Mana weaves together in the form of a hand and arm.

One of the two hands rushed to Hansul and the other to me.

Parker!

- Skill [Successor's Eye (Rank: EX)] resists Skill [Dominating Hand (Rank: SSS)].

The moment the red hand touched my body, sparks popped out.

It's the same as before.

Message follows after contact with skill effect.

[Dominating Hand (Rank: SSS, Active)]

Skill Effect: Allows you to freely control surrounding objects for the duration of the skill cast.

The add-on allows the target's memory to be read and allows for simple memory manipulation and implications. Engineered memory or infused implications are retained after the skill's casting time has elapsed.

Restrictions: 1) Subjects who can be manipulated at one time are limited to four 2) If the manipulated memory or implications differ significantly from the object's common sense, values, depth desired, the corresponding memory and implications may be invalidated after the skill termination. However, this penalty does not apply while skills are being maintained.

Hansnow's body twists in agony.

“Khh · · · Khhh! ”

Why are you so resistant? · · · Who touched it first?

A sneaky Telepathy follows you, as if you were delighted.

The communication of consciousness, not sound, was done at the same speed as light.

- But it's only a matter of time. Now, come on. Stop resisting · · · Open everything. Tell me all about you, about you, and about the world.

Soon, he whispers as if he's enjoying himself.

I felt like I read the memory of Han Seol.

The future, right? Very good. Very rare ability. I'll take you with me.

You're taking him?

- Hahaha! You're trespassing. You seem to have lost control of your unique skills, but don't worry. I'll teach you how. You can put that fear of being unconscious that it might break your mind.

My head is spinning. As time slows, I think at the same speed as light.

A message I just heard, notifying me that the boundary of the third level dungeon has collapsed.

Other levels of hunters or those left on Earth have not heard of it.

Then, there was a two-dimensional being that would have crossed the three boundaries.

An opponent in front of Angelica's face, dressed in Nicole's clothes.

And, you're taking Han Seol?

‘I see now. ’

What happened in this era.

Three people in their previous lives were the original Seo Jin-wook, who was considered a great genius, Nicole with a unique skill, and Hansoo, the expedition commander, who could use [Battlefield Command].

The three-stage portal that was only opened once would have led to the same dungeon as it is now.

The attack succeeded, but none of the three returned to Phase 2. After all, the only thing a subordinate could see was evidence of an ambush not far from the portal, the key to the dungeon.

‘People thought three people were dead. ’

Seventeen survivors return to Phase 1 with the key and hear strange things from the hunters waiting there.

The portal message they saw showed that there were 18 people in Phase 2.

But only 17 came back.

Similarly, there was one more person represented by the gate of the Earth.

However, it was not possible to keep the dungeon 'very unstable’ open because of one of the uncertain materials. Just because you have the key to closing the gate does not mean the possibility of a dungeon brake is lost.

The government has reinstated all hunters and will soon see that gate entry is turned to zero.

And they closed the gate without a hitch.

An unsolved mystery.

Now, the sights in front of me combine with the historical records of the future and create a story.

‘The number of system messages doesn't count to the number of people who haven't entered through the portal. ’

In other words, the message does not count the xenogens who crossed the border.

The gap between 18 and 17 people, and the unknown location, means that the Earth Hunter is right.

What if that one sneaked back with the other survivors?

Phase 3 to Phase 2, then to Phase 1 · · and finally to Earth.

Possibly overwhelmed by someone else, like hiding.

- Hmm?

And then, Angelica took an interest in me.

- What are you? This is not resistance · · · · Why is the reaction like this?

I saw what would happen if I did this.

Hansnow is crumbling.

Angelica is devoted to her skills from afar and no longer approaches them.

Is the skill immobile during activation?

There are clear penalties for not displaying all system messages.

Well, in that case, right here in the middle of it!

“Grrrgh! ”

Han Seol's gaze was not far away from me, even though he was in great pain.

Even former colleagues were fiercely resistant, unlike those who were controlled at once.

However, it took only a moment, and Red Mana was biting Snow's brain gradually.

It seemed that it was not far away. Eventually, Han Seol will kneel.

“Jin-wook! If I can't have it, I'd rather have it by my hand! ”

It did not take a few seconds for me to recognize and decide all of this.

If Han Snow is going to be brainwashed.

The one who was already trying to kill me, before I was attacked by those xenophiles.

Aims for an immobile enemy that is closer to me first.

Starts with a clear reduction in the number of enemies.

Parker!

Focusing on my mind, [Successor's Eye] crushes the red hand above my head.

- No?

At that moment.

I flew away. The other red hand is still connected to Hangul.

Skill is active and Angelica remains stationary.

I whispered as if the dead man had realized that I had escaped from the grasp of my hands.

‘· · · · · · Perfect, psychiatric immunity? ’

Before Angelica reacts from afar.

I, who was much closer to Hansul, will aggregate Mana into her hands and drive it into her heart!

Qajik!

“Knng!”

Like Park Chang-hee, Han Seol was alive for a while even though his heart was pierced.

"I will not hand Hansul over to Angelica! ’

I kept my skills active.

[Mana Drain!]
