Episode 715 The bondage of constrained regression (2)
[Hasting activates the hidden unique window âRegressorâs Timeâ!]
Cuckoo!
Dark red sparks flew out.
at the same time.
Grumble! Grumble!
The once hard ground became soft. Just like mud.
The things that wriggled and shot up were the tentacles that ancient beings often use.
Each tentacle had a single eye, and each contained magical power of a completely different nature.
It looks completely different from the previous hasting.
All the karma that has been accumulated through numerous regressions is about to be liberated.
Creepy!
Jinhyukâs whole body had goosebumps.
âIndeedâ¦â
Is it possible to reach this level even in a goblinâs body if one returns again and again?
Just looking at it makes me feel like my cells are burning to a crisp.
Wooooow!
The light at the tip of each tentacle poured out all at once.
Quang!
Jinhyuk kicked out of his seat.
âHeavenly Demon Lordâs Revelationâ and âSword Demonâs Reigning Rebellionâ were activated at the same time, and the movement continued to leave an afterimage in the afterimage.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Fuuuuuuu!
Every place I had stepped on just a moment ago turned into a wasteland.
Itâs a huge carpet bombing.
There were so many colorful beams of light that it was hard to imagine one person using them, and the number of them was impossible to estimate.
The power was also absurd.
faultâ¦! fault!
Thanks to its bizarre and anomalous movements, it was able to escape without fail, but simply running away was not enough to penetrate Hastingâs gap.
Thenâ¦.
[The unique spear âRainbow Bridgeâ is activated!]
Partsâ¦!
Jinhyeokâs sword was overlaid with indigo and green energy.
Suddenly!
The beam of light that was flying was split apart.
If you simply block with the upper color, the defense itself is possible, but the efficiency is extremely low. Only by using colors that match the characteristics of each beam of light can the optimal strategy be completed.
âThatâs amazing. I heard that abilities can be copied, but I didnât know that I could also obtain Medrayâs abilities. âAbility and understanding are equally incomprehensible.â
Hasting looked quite surprised.
There was an unbridgeable gap between hearing information and seeing it in person.
âYouâre not the only one surprised. Even with such strength and ability, he chose to stick with the ancient beings. âDid you really think that you could prevent destruction if you didnât go against those guys?â
âWhat does it mean for Azathoth to awaken? And why did I have no choice but to make this choice? âYou will never understand.â
âno.â
Jinhyuk split the flying beam of light in half again.
The cut beam of light burned the ground black.
Jinhyukâs eyes looked directly into Hastingâs eyes.
I know better than anyone else what it means for Azathoth to awaken.
The strongest being that cannot be dared to face.
A small creature facing such an absolute being would have no choice but to fall flat on its face in awe that would destroy its spirit.
but.
Those who simply try to avoid the target because they think it is hopeless are not those who truly want to protect the Tower of Trials.
The purpose is different.
The aspirations are different.
More than anything.
The weight of how much one understands and values the Tower of Trials varies.
Patter.
The shattered beams of light fell into countless fragments.
âIf it were me, I wouldnât have made that choice.â
âYou mean⦠you would have fought? Even though you know itâs a fight you can never win?â
âThere are no absolutes in the Tower of Trials. Anyone is eligible to climb the tower. âAnyone can climb to the top of the tower.â
âItâs an ideal theory. âJust because the rule says so doesnât mean there is a possibility of achieving it.â
In response to Hastingâs sigh, Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth,
âFloating stones and stars filling the night sky. âWhen you look at the Milky Way with its five moons, you donât notice the passage of time.â
He simply monologues about the scenes he has seen.
ââ¦!?â
An earthquake occurred in Hastingâs pupils.
âHow did you⦠do thatâ¦?â
âThe top of the tower is open to everyone. and. âNo being can monopolize the end of the tower forever.â
New heroes are always welcome.
Saeyoung Eonhwan certainly said that.
Looking forward to a new wind blowing into this stagnant world.
âLetâs end this, Hasting. âI have to go back because there are people waiting for me.â
[âInfinite Libraryâ is now open!]
Two books were selected from among the numerous books.
As the pages turned, Jinhyeokâs armament and magical power completely changed.
[The unique spear âOutlaw of the Wildernessâ is activated!]
[The unique spear âChronosphereâ is activated!]
Parts!
A red light flashed on the tip of Billy the Kidâs gun.
Because there was no âNapoleonâs coronationâ, it was not possible to completely recreate the heyday. A feeling of pressure spread on a different level than when using the First Blade.
ââ¦There is definitely something about you that leaves you speechless. but. It seems you donât know everything either. âAt least in this space, you will never be able to win against me.â
Hasting looked at Jinhyeok for a moment, and as if he had decided on something, he took out the relic he had received from Jang Bo-kyung.
To be exact, it was an item given to him by Sea Buck Curl.
[âEobâs Instability Diceâ cracks.]
[The Elder Godâs magic power is extracted.]
[Conditions have been met.]
[Unique Window âTime of the Returnerâ â Infinite constraint regression is activated!]
The unique window began to deteriorate in a heterogeneous manner in response to the item.
Moment.
A strange wave spread.
Jinhyeok reflexively brought up the constellations of the âzodiac signs.â
however.
[The movement of the constellations stops.]
[Twelve constellations lose their light.]
The barrier does not work?
Letâs use âlost languageâ. Numerous languages were sucked into Hastingâs domain.
A kind of unique barrier.
It was also a type of confrontation used by the Elder Gods⦠or perhaps even surpassing it.
âNow I will give you a taste of some of the pain I have experienced. For your information, winning or losing this fight⦠will have no meaning in determining your future.â
âWhat is thatâ¦â
As soon as he could finish his sentence, Hasting rushed over.
It was a reckless advance that was completely different from the one where he continued to keep his distance and preferred mid- or long-distance combat.
âwhat?â
Jinhyuk tilted his head.
This behavior is incomprehensible. Because the running form was so awkward.
There were so many loopholes that it seemed like no matter where I aimed, it would work.
It was a bit suspicious, but responding is a priority.
Chrrrrrrrrâ¦!
The blade extended and rushed towards Hasting, who was running towards him.
however.
Just as the plainclothes sword was about to pierce Hasting, Hastingâs movements became unpredictable.
A difference of one sheet of paper.
The blade that removed a layer of skin split the air.
âwhatâ¦!â
I wonder if such an attitude is possible there. I couldnât believe that he could show such boldness in a situation where even the slightest mistake could lead to instant death.
Jinhyuk increased his speed by three levels.
I thought I would finish it this time.
but.
Sigh! Puff poop!
This time the result was the same.
Even though it was a mix of âDemon Soul Swordâ and âHeavenly Demon Divine Artâ, Hasting narrowly avoided it as if he already knew everything.
It was such a clumsy and rudimentary move, but Jinhyuk couldnât even graze Hastingâs collar.
Suddenly!
Hastingâs blade grazed Jinhyeokâs arm.
Red blood appeared at the wound site.
[Unique ability âStarâs Protectionââ¦]
Just as golden light is about to flicker.
Coo thump!
ââ¦Huh?â
Jinhyukâs body swayed greatly.
Wounds do not heal.
Not only that, but it was getting worse at a faster rate.
Consciousness becomes blurred.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I tried using âmandalaâ as well as âsystem manipulationâ, but I could not get back the life force that was escaping.
And that moment.
[Returns to 1 minute ago.]
[Memories are preserved.]
The worldâs time has gone back.
âââ
âHuhâ¦.â
Jinhyuk took a deep breath. Could it
be thatâ¦
there was a regression?
And even for such a short period of time?
âIt feels unfamiliar, right? But you will soon get used to it.â
Hasting said dryly.
âHave you regressed too? With memories?â
âIt is a structure in which whoever dies between you and me returns. For reference, I dodged your first attack 128 times. And 535 times to avoid the next attack. âIt took me 2,538 deaths before I avoided the last attack and succeeded in my attack.â
Like saying itâs everyday life.
Hasting explained why he was able to land a blow on Jinhyuk.
âIt certainly makes sense that if you do that, you can avoid all of my attacks with clumsy movements. but. âWith this structure, isnât it impossible for both of them to win?â
âyouâre right. The concept of âwinningâ is bound to be diluted here. but. There is a crucial difference between you and me. âI have become accustomed to this constrained regression, but if you are experiencing it for the first time, will you be able to withstand the pressure of this regression?â
What brilliant skills or abilities do you have?
Or whether one has natural talent or sense is no longer important.
Surviving without being eaten by the enormous flow of time.
Those who endure without losing their reason are truly strong.
The battle between the two continued once again.
âââ
A power that can be used under extremely limited conditions through Sybukkalâs relic and Hastingâs unique window.
It was the essence of constrained regression.
once. Twiceâ¦
ten times⦠a hundred times.
And so far away that itâs hard to count them.
Short regressions and regressions were repeated, and the battle between Hasting and Jinhyeok continued. It doesnât end even if one side kills the other.
The two mortals, trapped in an infinite bondage, continued to fight with no end.
How long has it been like that?
How attack and defense work. I now understand how my opponent uses patterns.
The point has come where attack and defense no longer have any meaning.
âWhy⦠donât you give up?â
Phew!
Hasting, who plunged the blade into Jinhyeokâs heart, looked like he couldnât understand.
[Returns.]
Puffpuffpuff!
This time it was Hasting.
The shattered heart soared high into the air.
[â¦regresses.]
Nothing changes.
Just go back a little while.
âItâs normal to give up. It is normal to give up.â
Sigh! Phew! Sigh!
The blade cuts into the flesh.
All kinds of magic and skills hit the opponentâs vital points.
[Return.]
[Return.]
[Return.]
[Return â¦]
[â¦]
The spirit collapses for granted.
It was normal for a lost person in the dark to beg to be saved and taken out of this hell. Just like you did.
It is said that it is natural to rely on a being with greater power.
but.
ââ¦.â
Jinhyuk continued to think of other methods.
If it doesnât work in the 1983050th round, try something new in the 1983051st round.
âYou mean it wonât break?â
Hasting bit his lip.
No matter how great the ordeal awaits in those eyes, the burning light will not disappear.
Tuk.
[âGlacier Sculptureâ is activated!]
Damn it!
The frozen spears were pointed straight at Hasting.
This is a pattern you already know.
The angles and timing were also perfectly understood.
A new magical power formed at Hastingâs fingertips.
[â¦It works.]
A short message came to mind.
and.
Puff puff puff!
The frozen spear burrowed straight into Hastingâs body.
Red blood soaked the floor.
ââ¦.â
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyukâs pupils.
Of course, the message that the regression was completed, which I thought would be repeated, did not come to mind.
instead.
Tiring!
A status window appeared that completely overturned expectations.
