I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

26 – Suspicion

Contrary to my concerns about going into the stomach of a turtle since it has acid resistance—contrary to my concerns, the strategy was very clean and simple.

Apart from being a little outrageous, it could be called perfect.

Besides, being absurd was also a shortcoming that was easily brushed off at the point where the speaker was a regressor.

“After.”

Of course, I was a bit nervous to do the plan.

I decided to think only of a good future.

As much as a turtle is on a different level than a giant ant queen, the reward will be generous.

‘… I don’t think it was made to be honest.’

Anyway.

Climbing up the legs of the turtle hard for the operation, and finally standing on the carapace.

– ‘Can you come a little further? Up to the neck if possible.’

Han Seo-yeon’s voice rang in my head.

… What kind of trick is this again?

I thought I should ask him to teach me later, and I moved slowly following Han Seo-yeon’s words.

“That’s right.”

And finally reached the neck.

Is it meek, or does it not care about humans?

Anyway, I slapped the calm guy on the neck.

– ‘Don’t do anything strange.’

… I got mad quickly

It sucks.

Leave regrets behind.

Remembering Han Seo-yeon’s strategy, I took a posture on the turtle’s neck.

And now I want to be able to stand a little more stable.

– Huung.

I threw Han Seo-yeon’s sword I had brought to the floor.

This was a signal.

A signal that the operation is ready to begin.

Seeing the signal, Han Seo-yeon drew out the sword stuck in her floor and took a stance.

A beautiful posture without superfluity.

– ‘Look carefully.’

Even if you don’t, I’m watching you.

Only answering inwardly, he focused his magic on his eyes.

The magical energy injected into Han Seo-yeon’s sword completely surrounds the sword and arises.

Unlike me, who burns up mana by burning like a flame just by injecting it, a very efficient and sophisticated form.

I admired him slightly.

The power of Han Seo-yeon’s sword wasn’t just magic.

… I’m not sure what.

A truly unknown power permeated the sword.

I frowned at that sudden appearance.

The strange familiarity I felt at the moment made my expression even more crumpled.

‘… Superpower?’

Han Seo-yeon’s ability to create slashes in the air centered on herself.

That power was similar to what I felt in that brief moment when the slash took place.

But how?

– ‘Stay as it is.’

However, without even a moment to question it—Han Seo-yeon’s sword was swung.

That sword must have cut through the air.

A mixture of supernatural powers and magical power escaped from the sword and shot out in the shape of a crescent moon.

I was watching that absurd sight.

As I hurriedly tried to hide behind my shield, I remembered the regressor’s words to stay still, and I gritted my teeth and maintained my posture.

Fortunately, the crescent moon struck the shield as if Han Seo-yeon was aiming for it.

– Kiyiing──!!!

The superpowers were activated soon.

And.

… After a while, the ground collapsed.

To be exact, the giant body of a turtle.

I hurriedly jumped off the turtle’s neck, landed on the flat ground, and looked back.

There, a body that had already died was being washed away by the current that had begun to run wild.

The corpse had its head cut in half, or more than half.

Looking at those wounds, I pictured the moment of death.

At first, Seoyeon Han’s crescent moon was shot towards the turtle’s neck.

Perhaps because of the tortoise’s high defensive power, his skin was only torn.

But I, on the top of my neck, reflected it back.

As the reflected power penetrated through the torn skin—the center of the neck was cut and he died.

It was a futile end that didn’t suit that gigantic body.

If I had moved at least a little, I wouldn’t have died so easily.

… Maybe Han Seo-yeon had confidence that that guy wouldn’t move.

Because the superiority of such information is the scary thing about regressors.

Even so, I didn’t expect it to be solved this easily.

“This is true.”

“Whoa…Haa.”

No.

‘It wasn’t completely easy.’

I looked down at the exhausted Han Seo-yeon.

Uncommonly, no, never seen before, disheveled and scattered on the floor.

The way he was breathing in that state gave me a fresh feeling.

He’s a human too—I think.

“Are you okay? Can you carry me?”

“No, Snow White…Huh…I’m watching…”

“…Seol-i is very jealous, but he’s not as crazy as this.”

I don’t mean to say that I spent the night cheating knowing that jealousy.

‘When you say that, you really look like human garbage.’

But Seol-i said it was a lie, so maybe it worked because he liked it.

Anyway.

I hugged Seo-yeon Han, who was too conscious of Seol-i.

Originally, I was going to have him carry me, but I couldn’t help it because he didn’t seem to have the strength to lift a finger.

“Ah, Hagtun, Shutog.”

“Why, why but.”

“Go and tell the town.”

I told the two orcs, who were nervous because they saw an unbelievable scene, to tell them about the runaway river.

As the turtles are removed, the newly opened waterway is going in a completely different direction than the village, so it won’t be a big deal.

Somehow, the surprised monsters might attack the village.

“…Ah! Got it!”

“Only trust us!”

I don’t care, but after listening to the explanation until the end, I looked at the two running away pathetically.

I walked slowly holding the Han Seoyeon again.

‘But it’s really light.’

How does such a power come from a body like this?

Looking at Han Seo-yeon, who is concentrating on her recovery, with her eyes closed, perhaps because she has given up.

Suddenly, I had an idea.

I’m getting stronger with the help of a returner, but I don’t think I’ll do it.

… Can it be said that all the actions of the regressor are correct?

Of course, the solution came from the experience of climbing the tower, so it won’t be wrong.

It must be a way to climb the tower.

But before returning, Seoyeon Han must have been an ordinary human being.

Is it okay to consider an answer based on that experience as the best answer?

… Is it because of seeing the defenseless Han Seo-yeon?

Suddenly, I had an idea.

Well, in the end, if something happens again, I’ll ask Han Seo-yeon.

Because there is no need to not use the information you already have.

‘But this turtle doesn’t give a reward?’

Or there is a possibility that Han Seo-yeon took over because I didn’t do anything.

Fortunately, the doubts did not last long.

Because Han Seo-yeon, who quickly regained her strength, wriggled her body.

“…Leave it.”

“Ah.”

By the way, look what he’s talking about.

‘Anyway, the things called regressors.’

Of course, as always, she didn’t say it.

However, the gaze was burdensome, so I had no choice but to put Han Seo-yeon down.

Han Seo-yeon brushed off her body and she glared at me with strange eyes.

What is it?

“Why do you look like that?”

“…I’ll give you a reward, so come sit down.”

“That’s a very misleading statement.”

“It’s okay because Snow White isn’t watching anymore.”

Can you tell me that?

She turned her head in wonder, but of course she couldn’t find anything.

Should I ask for this later?

“Doesn’t something happen to Seol-i?”

“Looks like she got rid of it of her own will. Probably nothing bad.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“And you don’t have to worry about Snow White now.”

Perhaps it’s safer than you—I was a bit puzzled by the words.

Now I was curious about something else.

“So, what’s the reward?”

“It’s my end.”

“Nathan?”

I was slightly intrigued by a word that seemed to appear in a martial arts magazine.

Looking at what Seoyeon Han held out, she looked just like I had imagined.

Ocher-colored marbles that give off a mysterious energy.

It was a textbook-like introspection.

By the way, didn’t I say that rewards are attributed?

“Isn’t that inner bag only you can eat?”

“That’s right. So I’ll eat it and give you energy.”

“Does that work?”

“Do you remember when I taught Mana Simbum before?”

“I don’t remember.”

It’s probably one of those moments you’ll never forget.

‘As I said before, please take good care of me in the future.’

… Strange memories flashed through me.

I decided it was an hallucination.

“It’s similar to that time. Just follow where I lead.”

“It’s good for me. Doesn’t that usually reduce the absorption efficiency?”

“Under normal circumstances.”

I didn’t add her words after that.

The meaning that it is possible for me was conveyed perfectly.

It was an extremely arrogant attitude.

Well, he’s a regressor.

After convincing with the magic words, she sat quietly in her seat and waited.

Han Seo-yeon looked at me like that for a while, then put her inner hem in her mouth with her fingers, which looked so soft that she couldn’t believe she had practiced a sword.

“Prepare the Simbeop.”

She closed her eyes without answering the command and circulated her magical power through her body according to her psychic law.

A mysterious energy flowed from Han Seo-yeon, who placed her hand on my chest.

Heavy yet strong magic.

Let’s bite off the power that invaded her body in an instant and spread it all over the body.

I felt the energy that had collided for a moment gradually assimilate with my magic.

After a long time, I felt that all of her energy had completely assimilated with me, and I opened her eyes.

I could confirm her jaw-dropping reward.

[Strength is permanently increased by 3.]

[Durability increases by 7 permanently.]

[Stamina increases by 5 permanently.]

[Magic power increases by 5 permanently.]

[You have acquired Hardened (C).]

[Mana Sim Method – Body (D) -＞ Mana Sim Method – Body (B)]

Looking at the increase in stats, it’s not unusual.

Skills have also been significantly strengthened.

In addition, hardening, which uses magical power to increase defense, seemed to go well with my ability.

“Yeah…”

“Whoa.”

I was so impressed.

Han Seo-yeon hurriedly helped me as I was struggling to get my hands off my chest.

‘Is this too much?’

Feeling sorry for nothing.

Haven’t you done it on your back before?

I have to go back to the village with this one.
