Regress and Eat

074 Encounter

I don't think the Military Spirit could have imagined that I would be able to see this map and remember it all.

In fact, after the geometric map appeared, it was hard to perceive because my head was splashed.

Of course, the [Successor's Eye] effect quickly brought him back to normal.

‘So it's true that you cannot access Awakening's unique skills. ’

Then one possibility passed in the brain.

"Wait, when this happens! ’

An SSS-grade item received as an additional reward after completing an Attack on 8 dungeons.

[Door of Hope]

An artifact that the Emperor of the Severian Empire prepared for inter-dimensional evacuation.

When I tried to activate it the other day, I gave up because there was no way to enter the correct coordinates.

When I entered any coordinates, I came back with a crazy response that I needed a lot of Mana cores.

‘But what if it's at a closer level? ’

It does not appear to contain all the dimensional coordinates on which the Spirit is looking.

However, the dimensions around the Earth were enormous.

‘What if I type these coordinates into the door of hope? ’

Thanks to the ministry spirit, we did an unexpected trajectory.

"I'm sure this will come in handy! ’

Early in the tutorial, interactions with two-dimensional races are very limited, but as quests progress, interactions with nearby dimensions become more active.

The meeting of two different civilizations will create a diverse mix of friendship, neutrality and hostility.

And the only way for Awakeners to travel back and forth between two dimensions is through a collapsed dungeon.

"You can completely destroy that common sense! ’

Being able to go back and forth to a dimension that did not lead to a dungeon.

‘If I have to fight aliens who were enemies of Earth in my previous life. Spying, raiding, extortion, and assassination are almost limitless. ’

It's about what level of core we need to get to the nearest dimension.

Just after thinking about it and memorizing everything.

The ministry spirit spoke to me.

- Here's the list.

I opened my eyes wide to her visions.

“This many? ”

- Yeah, I was surprised. For some reason, it seems that many of the world's already finished tutorials are interested in that dimension.

A world Awakener who ended the tutorial, who visited Earth before I was cursed.

“No, apparently, all these guys are still on Earth, right? ”

- Yes, when you look at behavior patterns, some are assumed to have been assigned to observer missions.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Until he listens to the spirits, the unsub has already returned to his original dimension and there is no way to track him down.

But their current location information on the list was surprising to me.

All of them, still living on Earth!

‘One or more of these are definitely related to the curse. ’

I had to feel even more ridiculous looking at the list carefully.

‘There are some who hide from humans, while others disguise themselves as humans! ’

Among them, I've never heard of a stranger in my entire life.

‘What, this guy was an alien?! ’

There was also a mixture of very famous top-level hunters.

I've never met him before in my life.

It's because Angelica has been mysteriously missing since she appeared in the world.

‘Could it have been because of the collision with Angelica? Then there's a good chance this hunter isn't the culprit of the curse. We cannot think that the Awakened are weaker than the Immortals, even though they are about to transform life and modify their unique skills. ’

And a question that won't be solved.

The great aliens who stayed on Earth, why did they let Angelica install them in their past lives?

Or · · · was the situation also intended?

‘I can't answer if I turn my head by myself. We don't have much to go on. ’

Following up on the list will give you a clear answer.

- Okay, so I gave you the list. Next item.

“Yes, I'll tell you what I want. ”

I recited the list of artifacts calmly.

He knew what dungeons he could get in the future and did not mention that he was confident he could get them.

What I'm asking for now is an artifact that I've seen too few or used by xenophobes in my past life, but never supplied to Earth.

The spirit quickly entered the list I mentioned on the screen paused for a moment.

- · · · · · · Hold on. You want five of Renaissance's rings?

“It was a condition of 10 SS class items, not 10. You didn't say you can't ask for the same item in revenge. ”

That's a must have item.

In my past life, there were heterosexes in hostile relations with the Earth, and we suffered greatly because there were the strongest of them.

- Mmm · · · This won't do.

You're tougher than I thought.

I tried to protest because it sounded like I broke my promise, but I had to listen to what was going on.

- We only have two of these in stock.

In stock?

It was a word that implied many facts.

Even if it's a system, you can't just take whatever you want?

“If there is a concept of stock, is there a concept of production? ”

- That's not what I'm talking about.

Tsk, you keep your mouth shut again at the crucial point.

-Repeat again, a total of 7 other items and up to [Renaissance's Ring] are now available. What would you do with the other three?

That would be a miscalculation.

I thought about it for a moment and decided.

All right, pick up the remaining three and hand it over to the spirit and the system.

‘Thinking about it, neither [Stardust Wing] nor [Door of Hope] existed. Artifacts that have never been discovered in their past, but that are incredibly powerful. ’

What the two have in common is that certain words appear in the item description.

‘There must be another item like this. The problem is I don't know his name. ’

But the system will know.

After this, I decided to give it a try.

“I'm going to leave the other three selections to the system. ”

- Hmm? I'm surprised. Well, okay. Then I'm comfortable.

“No, wait a minute. There are conditions.”

The Spirit says, "That's what you do. ’I looked at me.

“Please select which of the SS ratings contains the keyword 'Severian Empire' in the item description, and select 3 items that are equal to or better in performance than [Stardust Wing] when objectively assessed. ”

It's a little gamble.

We leave the interpretation of equal or better performance to the system.

‘Now, surprise me. ’

The spirit frowns as if it were completely absurd.

- · · · · · · Severian Empire. Oh, my God. I hate it when I try to eat too well.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

The arcade appeared on the screen, and it seemed to enter the conditions I mentioned.

And I immediately remembered the result value.

- Here you go.

Ten lights flashed before me.

Seven items selected and required by the system and three items selected by the system.

All of them are SS grades.

Every time I see Seo Jin-wook, it takes too long. I have a lot of work to do right now and I can't believe I'm stuck in this one dimension for so long.

Those people, the Spirits, are so hard-working that they just have to open their mouths.

She glanced at me and said,

- I hope we don't run into each other again.

I answered softly.

“Next time, I'll see you after I block the Class S brake. ”

- · · · · · · · Huh.

The darkness cracks as if she won't even give you more time to defend herself, and her figure disappears.

And...

Whee!

I quickly returned to the dungeon.

“Jin-wook!”

Nate's eyes widened.

“What are you doing packing such a barley? ”

“Take this first! ”

I made a small decision to Nate on one of the items I received this time.

“What is this? ”

“Keep it for now. And, Hibiki! ”

“Yes!”

What you threw at her was one of the [Renaissance's Rings] that you got two of.

[Reneth's Ring (Rank: SS)]

Item Description: A ring that reduces a user's Mana consumption by 30%.

Equipping duplicate items with the same function will not stack the effect. Only the items with the greatest effect will be applied.

Item effects are similar to those of [Devil Slayer], the Magic Blade.

This item reduces Mana consumption.

The reason this artifact is precious is that it applies in any way, whether it's black or magic or mind.

‘It's practically an increase in managing pain. ’

If Hunter finishes activating Mana and his training cannot increase the total amount of Mana.

From then on, I have to rely on these items.

‘Later on, everyone is looking for artifacts with 10% savings. How about 30%? ’

The bigger the basics, the better the efficiency.

I put the other one of the two rings on an empty finger.

-Active Mana: 72,800 (+34,700)/38,100

- Potential Mana: 139,700

‘Active Mana is 70,000 · · but whatever skill you use, only 70% of Mana will be consumed, so it is the same as 90,000. ’

This is a tremendous synergy given the sword amplification effect of the sword.

“Hibiki, what are you doing? Faster. It's an artifact that reduces Mana consumption. ”

“· · · · · · · Ah! So that's it. ”

Hibiki is hesitant and hesitant for some reason.

It was more efficient to mount her with 50,000 barrels once activation was complete.

After distributing them like that, the rest of the items were fed to snakes.

You see a change in the red burning gate.

“Now I'm crawling in. Slow and steady. ”

The government that was observing the situation outside gave the order to enter only after seeing the end of the brake message.

*

Two hunters came through the gate.

It was the Seomungrin of the current guild and the Gate Keepers' movement.

The two of them stood still in awe of the scene in front of them.

“Yikes, yikes, what the hell! ”

With a stammering Seo Mungrin.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Lee Dong-hyun looks at the situation inside the dungeon with sharp eyes.

Looking at them, I thought,

‘It's absurd. ’

Immediately after the break, the Hunters would have confirmed their contribution.

No matter how much you think about it, you'll notice the numbers are odd.

‘Even if you split one Giant that escaped out of the gate, you must contribute 1% to the Hunter. But is it really, at most, 0.01%? ’

If you weren't such an idiot, you'd have noticed what happened.

The truth is that there were more monsters than they saw.

Just like any other brake.

An absolute majority of those monsters were defeated by someone instead of the four guilds that made up the primary defense line.

“Oh, my God!"

The corpse of a plague giant who covered the ground in scorching, frozen dust.

The three of us stood in the middle of the endless sea of death.

Seo Mun Ga-in and Dong Hyun found us.

Their gazes crossed.

Seo Moon-jin recognizes my face and cries out with a twitch.

“· · · Seo Jin-wook! ”

The next word was that I couldn't understand the context.

"Were you in Korea?!"

*

I didn't give them enough time to closely observe the site.

The impressive scene of the giant's body unfolding endlessly was enough.

‘I scorched it with a brace, but if you look closely, you'll notice that there's a hole in where the core should be. ’

The Seo Moon-jin repeated the same words several times with an unbelievable expression.

“You took care of this brake, three of you and three of these monsters?! ”

I was bold and bold.

“Yes, that's right. ”

At the same time, I think to myself.

‘Yes, you are witnesses. I saw the miracle of stopping three people with my own eyes. ’

A system message sounds.

- Soon, the gate will close.

I told them both.

“Let's go back to Earth. Before the door closes. You're not sure what a comeback stone looks like in a collapsed dungeon, are you? Farming is impossible in this situation anyway. ”

In advance, Nate left Mana Core on some of the corpses that were nearby.

Donghyun, who was looking around, muttered in a slightly suspicious tone.

“Yes · · · · · ”

Seo Moon-gyu sighed.

“It's hard to believe, but I have to admit, with these two eyes. Did you sneak through the first line of defense? But this is a unilateral disregard of government order. You'll need an explanation. ”

“Don't worry, that explanation will go directly to the Constitution with command, not the four guilds. ”

The answer is already prepared for what to surround.

After all, it was the right choice to stop the giants in the dungeon.

If this many giants were to fall on Earth, the plague would surely have spread.

“Come on, let's go back. ”

*

A chilly chill flows between the primary defense line hunters who suddenly came out of the gate and saw footage of Hibiki and Nate.

The first thing that recognized me was also the Celestial Dragon Guild members.

“What, Seo Jin-wook?! Why is he coming out of there? ”

I can hear you, you bastards.

Junghyun scratched his head and explained to everyone.

“This · · · I can't believe it even when I see it. Apparently, these three stopped the rest of the monsters. What did we see inside? · · · ”

The Hunters' faces were distorted as they listened to the description changed to various colors at a visual angle.

At the end of Junghyun's words, Kim Kyung-rock, the guild master of Grand Croa, cried out while using evil.

“That's why your contribution was such a shit! ”

He yells at me with his fingers pointed.

“This is a complete disregard for the government's command! In the first place, did you believe me when I told you that those three blocked the brakes? This must be some kind of joke from the Celestial Dragons. Don't you have some SS-grade stuff ready that no one knows about? Unusual means of deducting contributions! ”

Back then.

There was a man coming at me at a rapid rate, cutting through the waves of people.

“Hey, wait! Seo Gyu-chul! Explain this situation! ”

However, Seo Gyu-cheol did not react and did not look back.

Just staring at me, he walked toward me with one step of weight.

And he was right in front of me.

He whispered.

“We meet at last. ”

His eyes were of a nature that he could never consider to be worthy of sending to his own flesh.
