Genius Regressor Makes Mythic Items Chapter 236

Episode 236

Episode 236. Chernozem (2)

Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

When Shimun and his party arrived there.

“Welcome. First, here is the mercenary contract and the confidentiality agreement… … .”

After stopping by the Awakened Society in Ukraine and completing some formalities as a mercenary.

He immediately boarded a military airship with several mercenaries.

Was it made by the awakened production team using Arena materials?

“That’s so fast.”

“That’s right. Was the airship this fast?”

The giant airship boasted considerable speed.

The mercenaries, including Shimun’s party, went to the place where the outbreak occurred with a different purpose.

I looked at the scenery outside the window with somewhat excited eyes.

The poem also did not leave its seat.

‘It’s definitely different from what I saw in my past life.’

I was looking at the scenery outside the window.

As one of the world’s largest grain producing countries, the national flag features a wheat field.

‘beautiful.’

The vast wheat fields swaying in the breeze under the sunlight brought comfort to my heart just by looking at them.

Of course, it cannot be compared to the realm of Simdrasil.

Is this another unique landscape?

There was something about the vastness and abundance.

at the same time.

‘That’s why I became their target.’

A feeling of bitterness also came over me.

The Chernozem incident, which I had only heard about on the news in my previous life.

And what Ukraine looked like when I heard about it a few years later.

‘The land of death. That was it.’

Because it was still vivid before my eyes.

of course.

‘This time it’ll be different.’

As it always has been.

This time too, you will face a different outcome than in your previous life.

Into the ears of such poetry.

“Hey. Can I ask you something?”

A voice is heard that awakens my thoughts.

Aside from the group who were looking out the window, Go Mal-sook was the only one sitting down.

“What?”

When Shimun asked with his eyes blinking, Go Mal-sook hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

“That… … my request. Why did you grant it?”

“Please? Oh. You said you’d come with me to Ukraine this time?”

Go Mal-sook nods silently.

Shimun let out a sly laugh.

“You said you wanted to go together?”

“… …Is that the end?”

“Well, it was a welcome thing for me too. You may be Platinum, but your actual level is Diamond, right?”

This is a platinum-level outbreak.

Since we only have one Diamond-class Awakened person, why would we stop someone from coming in person?

Crucially.

‘I was strangely angry.’

After Lin told her the news from Ukraine, Go Mal-sook was unusually unable to control her emotions.

Of course, she was famous enough to be called Miss X-Ball.

Other people didn’t notice at all.

‘There’s something.’

I could only understand the poem.

‘Something I didn’t know about in my previous life.’

Even he, who was Go Mal-sook’s only friend in her previous life, was unaware of something.

So, there were times when I accepted her request without a second thought.

As for Go Mal-sook, who doesn’t know this.

“Child. Does that mean you finally acknowledge this older sister’s skills?”

I had no choice but to believe what the poet said.

“I never doubted your skills?”

“… … Is that so?”

Go Mal-sook looks away with an awkward expression.

To him.

‘Why are you suddenly like that again?’

That’s somewhat embarrassing.

A poem that knows full well that it is an action that comes out when you are in a good mood.

‘Women… … You never know even when you know them.’

I could only shake my head at her whims, which I could not understand at all.

Within.

“Wait a minute. Is Malsuk a woman?”

I found myself muttering to myself at the thought that it was such an absurd idea.

“… … What the heck is this kid?!”

Go Mal-sook’s emotions, which had been drawing attention to herself, immediately hit rock bottom.

* * *

The Dnieper River, which runs through Ukraine through the capital Kiev.

The eastern part of the country is a granary in Ukraine.

Ukrainian agriculture was at the center, accounting for about 47% of wheat production.

Naturally, the surrounding area was filled with wheat fields fluttering like golden manes.

But it had to boast a very beautiful sight.

“There are so many f*cking skeletons!”

“Over here! There are zombies coming this way!”

“Give me some air support! This race is going crazy!”

The reality was different.

“Damn it! Arrows and magic are pouring down!”

“The injured people need to be transported quickly!”

Sounds you can always hear in arenas where large groups of people are matched up.

one.

“f*ck! Don’t spare the barrier! If you do that, someone will get injured, and that’ll be even more damaging!”

“What kind of idiot casts area-of-effect magic like this?!”

“Deep sea cubs, just move with support in mind!!”

Players facing the monsters of Outbreak were sharper than ever.

It wasn’t a crowd.

This is reality, not an arena.

blast furnace.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Whoa!”

Blind arrows, magic, etc.

Because he lost his life in an attack that would have simply resulted in elimination if it had been an arena.

Even if he was a contestant risking his life, he could have survived if he had the right to immunity.

“Nastya! No!”

“Brother! Wake up! Wake up!”

Reality is nothing but the silence of the dead and the screams of the living.

and.

“Hmm… … .”

An Asian man who was watching this life-or-death fight on multiple screens.

“This doesn’t taste good at all?”

He shrugged and turned away.

“I poured out as many sacrifices as I could and finally got it to the platinum level. But this is the only death toll?”

Ukraine has a strong player base below Platinum.

Thanks to that, it’s a platinum outbreak.

The blockade and external fighting did not result in major casualties.

Especially.

Whoa whoa.

A noble, pure white light.

In contrast to her elegant and beautiful appearance.

“Tsk. It smells rotten.”

Kwaaang!

A woman who annihilates undead with strength that rivals that of the green skins.

“Anyway. Don’t just use your strength without being ignorant.”

Crunch.

Contrary to his refreshing appearance, the man boasted unparalleled power, capable of cutting down nearly a hundred enemies with a single blow.

The Asian man who saw the two in action laughed in vain.

It can’t be helped.

“A saint with an iron wall and a swordsman… … .”

The two rankers with the highest stock prices in South Korea and are also among the top rankers in the world.

Because the appearance of Lee Yu-jeong and Kim Si-hyuk was completely unexpected.

“Why on earth did those two come here?”

The Asian man looked back with a questioning look on his face.

There.

Saaaah… … .

An ominous aura of dark green and gray.

The atmosphere that could be called gloomy was not only condensed, but was spreading out across the area.

Fuzz.

A gift from God.

Or, the wheat fields of an area called the Golden Plains are destroyed in an instant.

A black man with gray hair was at the center of it all.

“Kamisato Haruto. What did you just say?”

Malik opened his closed eyes and asked again.

“Why on earth did those two come here?” he asked.

Asian male.

Kamisato Haruto once again blurted out what he had said earlier.

Malik’s gaze turned to the screen Haruto was pointing at.

Pure white power and invisible swordsmanship.

It was a battle scene that even top-tier players could not help but see.

“Hmm. Lee Yu-jeong and Kim Si-hyuk?”

Malik looks at the screen and mutters softly.

Haruto asked Malik in a questioning tone.

“Brother Malik. I heard you’ve already finished talking with the Ukrainian government?”

“That’s right. Most of the political figures had their souls ripped out and had been possessed by banshees.”

“But what are those? Why did the rankers, and especially the Korean rankers, come here?”

“I don’t know either.”

Malik shakes his head from side to side.

“It’s not possible to completely wipe out the political world. I’ve reached a compromise by hiring mercenaries on the black market.”

“You’re not trying to say that those two participated in the black market’s mercenary recruitment, are you?”

“If not, why would those two be here?”

“… … .”

Haruto licks his lips with a dumbfounded expression.

That would be the case.

“Are you saying this in your right mind? What’s so disappointing about a successful ranker running off to be a mercenary in a place like this?”

Aren’t they the best rankers right now?

It’s not even an outbreak of our own country.

Why would you participate in an outbreak in another country where your life could be at risk if you make a mistake?

but.

“I don’t understand it either, but isn’t there any other way to explain it?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

Malik’s words were simple, but they were certainly persuasive.

Haruto couldn’t say anything in response.

A slight look of annoyance spread across Malik’s expressionless face.

“I’m already busy. Don’t bother me with useless things. I might just kill you first.”

It was the same rough tone as usual.

Swaaaaaaah.

Because the current environment here has created a clear power differential even among the same core members within the organization.

“Sorry, Malik. It was so out of the blue.”

Haruto didn’t respond strongly, but rather took a leisurely step back.

Following.

“Malik, I have received a call from Malina. In just 10 more minutes, the whole area will be completed.”

One of the robers nearby came and reported.

“good.”

Malik nodded and looked at Haruto.

“Haruto? Those two are going to enter the Outbreak anyway.”

“That’s right. Even if you prevent it like that, if you can’t remove the nuke, the outbreak will continue.”

“And isn’t the inside your world? You can take care of it with that clever little mess.”

After finishing his words like that, Malik immediately turned around.

Swaaaah.

I walked towards the place where the fraud was concentrated.

“You’re going to mess with this sophisticated dimensional ability! Are you going to hurt me?”

Haruto’s voice followed immediately, but that was it.

I guess you weren’t expecting an answer in the first place.

“Hehe! Well, that’s not wrong.”

He was the only one single.

“Then, should I go to the ‘corner’ too~.”

Swish.

Melted into space without a trace.

* * *

Thousands and tens of thousands of undead constantly swarming in.

Fortunately.

“It’s tank shift change time!”

“The healers also take turns in shifts!”

“Supply is here! If you’re late, you won’t get any silver weapons!”

As Ukraine has a solid mid- to lower-tier players.

I was dealing with the pouring hordes of undead without any problems.

“There are so many of them.”

“I know.”

Thanks to the efforts of mercenaries including Lee Yu-jeong and Kim Si-hyeok.

The damage from the outbreak was not spreading outward.

That is, ‘until now’.

“Chairman, if we continue this war of attrition, we will end up at a disadvantage.”

The only Ukrainian ranker who was watching the situation.

Nikita, who had black hair and white skin, looked at the association president with an anxious face.

“Hmm. I guess so.”

Aleksandrovich Kozlov, the head of the Ukrainian association, stroked his bushy beard.

“But you are the only ranker in the country. I can’t send you alone.”

“Chairman. I am not alone. I am already with the members of the special forces… … .”

“Nikita. Don’t you know what I mean?”

Kozlov cuts off Nikita’s words.

But Nikita knew very well what was in his words and gaze.

“… … We are not that weak.”

I could only refute in a small voice.

“I know. I’m not ignoring the top players in the country.”

Kozlov smiled gently at Nikita.

“I say again, you are the only ranker of our country. Please cherish yourself more.”

Could it be because it is advice from Kozlov, who is also a named person of the first generation?

“I was hasty. I’m sorry.”

Nikita took a step back with a much calmer face.

“Hmm. But just like you said. The outbreak will end only if the core inside is removed.”

Outbreak.

Unless the core inside is dealt with, monsters will continue to pour out from the dimensional rift.

Of course, if you keep hitting them as soon as they come out.

There may come a time when the monsters inside dry up.

‘Even if you don’t deal with the nukes, you can only get to Silver level at best.’

Unfortunately, this has never happened in a Platinum-rated outbreak to date.

‘I don’t know about the US or China. It would be difficult for us to hold out like that with our own strength.’

The front line right now also needs help from mercenaries.

To be exact, isn’t it maintained by the joining of Lee Yu-jeong and Kim Si-hyuk?

‘Eventually, we will have to send an internal team to remove the nukes… … .’

As the president of the Awakened Ones Association.

Kozlov knew better than anyone the power of the Awakened in Ukraine.

‘If we only send our players, even if we remove the nuke, all that will remain is wounds.’

In the worst case scenario, you could lose all of your top players.

Bam.

The sound of teeth grinding comes out from between the wrinkled lips.

‘Damn government bastards! The nation’s talented people are dying, so what kind of national prestige is that!’

Kozlov clenched his fists and cursed the government’s idiots, but that was it.

“after…….”

Because the outbreak right in front of us came first.

I took a deep breath and calmed my emotions.

There it is.

Isn’t it true that there is no way at all?

“Ah! Night Hunter. Welcome back. It’s been a long time.”

“It’s been a while, Mr. Kozlov.”

Kozlov welcomed the grim-looking Oriental man into the command post with open arms.

* * *

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Shimun.”

A school uniform that doesn’t suit this place where battles with the undead are in full swing.

A handsome boy with such a nice outfit and neat appearance bows his head.

Shimun looked at the boy greeting her with somewhat surprised eyes.

That would be the case.

“Yuuto?”

Because the boy in front of me was someone who shouldn’t have been here in the first place.

“Why did you come here?”

“Because there is nothing like risking your life in actual combat to become stronger.”

“That’s true, but… … .”

Shimun blinked his eyes.

Risking your life at that age, isn’t that a bit much?

Moreover, he is a promising player who will be in charge of the next Japanese ranker.

But Yuuto isn’t interested in such things.

“Although I was slower than Mr. Shimun, I was also promoted to Diamond.”

He just continued speaking in a neat and clear voice.

“Huh? Was that so?”

“Yes. I really enjoyed Shimun’s Diamond debut match… … Did you happen to see my promotion match?”

How.

Could it be an illusion that Yuuto’s refined eyes shine especially brightly?

‘Then I’d feel bad saying I didn’t see it… … .’

But what can we do?

It’s not even a promotion match in the regular arena.

I don’t have enough time to watch promising talent broadcasts from other countries.

Shimun shook his head with a slightly troubled expression on his face.

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t see you. I was busy with my debut and other things.”

“I see. That’s okay. It’s normal for the strong to not pay attention to those weaker than them.”

Yuuto answers with a smile.

It was a statement that could easily be misunderstood, depending on how you heard it.

Yuuto nodded with an expression that was so obvious, clearly showing his sincerity.

Even though it was just a little bit of poetry, I knew what kind of person Yuuto was.

“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you.”

I accepted Yuuto’s greeting like that.

at that time.

“Mr. Shimun!”

A thick voice is heard from behind.

“I’m done talking to the president.”

It was the night hunter Park Jin-wook.

after that.

“Brother. I’m out.”

“Brother.”

Is it time to take a break?

Kim Si-hyuk and Lee Yu-jeong also followed in.

“It’s as you said, Sir. The Ukrainian side seems to want us to join Outbreak’s internal team.”

“I guess so.”

Shimun nods his head at Park Jin-wook’s report.

‘It must have been a recruitment that was put out without any expectation that a ranker would come in the first place.’

No matter how much money you give.

It is extremely rare for a ranker to run as a mercenary.

Wasn’t it even a platinum grade outbreak?

If you’re not careful, even a ranker’s life could be in danger.

“So, as Shimun said, we finished talking about everyone joining except Yoojung… … .”

Park Jin-wook trails off.

His gaze was directed at Yuuto, who was standing blankly next to Shimun.

“Oh, that’s okay.”

Shimun waved his hand lightly.

“So, did you rewrite the contract?”

“Of course. As you promised, I added a clause stating that I will help with any request with the authority of the association president.”

“thank you for your effort.”

What you have to block, you have to block, and what you have to receive, you have to receive.

Shimun nodded with satisfaction and looked back at the group.

“Then everyone except Yoojung, join the internal team and deal with the nuke.”

“What, you’re not going?”

“Brother. Why is Yujeong the only one excluded?”

Go Mal-sook and Kim Si-hyuk ask right away.

“It’ll be too long if I explain. Just do as you say.”

“No, bro!”

“Stop it. Honestly, it’s enough for Shihyuk to go inside alone. It’s a waste to bring Yujeong along.”

“That’s true, but… … That’s true for me too.”

I wonder if Lee Yu-jeong thinks she’s sucking honey.

Kim Si-hyuk expressed his dissatisfaction openly.

“Yujeong has something else to do, that’s why she’s like that. Inma.”

Shimun lightly suppressed his younger brother’s complaints.

“A thing to do?”

“Yeah. Maybe it’s more dangerous than the inside.”

“… … There’s something.”

Kim Si-hyuk suddenly becomes dark.

It was the same with the other parties.

Shimun continued speaking calmly.

“That’s why it’s important for you to finish the interior as quickly as possible. That’s why I’m sending Malsook and Jinwook as well.”

“Yeah. I know what you mean.”

“Be careful, Mr. Shimun.”

Even without any explanation.

The group nodded without asking any further questions.

Shimun gave a gentle smile to those people.

“But don’t move too hastily. There might be some danger in there.”

Actually, wasn’t Outbreak a silver level, not platinum, in his previous life?

There was a high possibility that there was some variable.

In response to such a request.

“Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.”

“……be careful.”

“Then I will be going, Mr. Shimun.”

The three nodded and immediately started walking towards Outbreak.

“This… … I suddenly feel like I heard something big.”

Yuuto, who had been quiet, opened his mouth.

“Unfortunately, I also applied to the internal team, so I can’t work with Mr. Shimun.”

“It’s okay. It could just be my worrying for nothing.”

“Haha! Is that so?”

Yuuto suddenly bursts into laughter.

“I don’t have much experience with Mr. Shimun in the arena. But I have a feeling your hunch won’t be wrong.”

The guy answers like that.

“Then I will go as soon as possible. Oh, and I won’t worry about anything. You are strong.”

I turned towards the outbreak.

Has the Ukrainian side also prepared an internal team?

“Why aren’t you dying all of a sudden?!”

“That’s because the high rankers are missing!”

“Catch one more while you’re at it.”

“Everyone, focus! Focus!”

The front lines, which had been maintained leisurely, began to gradually be pushed back.

The poem that saw him.

“Yujeong-ah. I’ll help you, so you drink this and rest.”

I handed over a potion containing white liquid from my inventory and walked away.

“No. Let’s go together, brother.”

Lee Yu-jeong, who emptied it in one breath, followed right to Shi-mun’s side.

“I told you to rest.”

“The potion you gave us is also quite effective. Since they are mid-level or lower undead, they didn’t really use up much strength.”

Lee Yu-jeong takes the lead, patting her body as if she were a fool.

As a saint, low-level undead wouldn’t be much of a problem for her.

Shimun, who knew very well that it was because of his concern for himself from the beginning.

“Okay, let’s go together. But remember what I said earlier? You have to conserve your strength as much as possible.”

“Of course. I’m looking forward to it. I dare say I’ve made you nervous, brother.”

“… … I wasn’t particularly nervous?”

“Hehe. Is that so?”

We joined the front line, exchanging small jokes.

Ah, warm.

Quagga River!

He swept away the undead at a speed that was not inferior to that of Lee Yu-jeong, and stabilized the front line.

Did about 10 minutes pass like that?

Not far away.

Swaaaaaaaaaah!

“Hey, what is that?”

“What kind of scam is this all of a sudden… … .”

A sudden surge of energy in shades of green and gray soared into the sky.

fantasy,
