‘What on earth is it?’
This was the review that Seun thought of after watching her fight.
Even after getting down to the sixth shelter and receiving a penalty, he still displayed that level of fighting prowess.
Besides, she seemed to have settled here for quite some time, and there was no sign of stagnation in her fighting.
What’s surprising is the usability of the power.
‘Attack ability that covers both close and long range… … and above all, flexibility of thought.’
I don’t know how, but she absorbed Ruin’s power and made it her own.
No, I think the expression ‘sharing’ would be more appropriate than ‘absorption’.
As evidence, Ruin was having a very hard time even though he wasn’t fighting a fierce battle.
Not only was her body color pale, but her breathing was also rapid, showing how much power she had used.
– Krung… … .
The appearance of regaining strength by swallowing up the outers spread around.
The warehouse was relatively clean, considering that Outer had been causing a ruckus by encroaching on dozens of stuffed animals.
There isn’t a single broken painting or broken stone statue.
As expected, it was the right answer to shoot magic containing the power of destruction at the meteor from the beginning.
“Ruin, are you having a hard time? You’ve worked hard~”
She tried to caress Ruin, but he quietly pulled one of his feet away. Still, she was unable to resist and ended up giving him her head.
For the guy who is quietly watching, I lift the stigmata and absorb him inside.
Arcana touched his hand as if she was regretful, but he ignored it for the sake of Ruin.
“I never would have imagined that there would be something like that inside a meteorite.”
“I guess you may have lost interest a little.”
“It was solved, but I became more interested than it was solved~”
“By the way, organizing… … .”
“Don’t worry. They’re not used anyway, and you can just use the stuffed animals as materials~”
She doesn’t show it at all, even though the visible damage is likely to amount to hundreds of millions of points.
By the way, there was one problem.
‘meteor…….’
Now that we’ve taken care of all the outers, it’s time to retrieve the meteorite.
The meteorite that looks the most intact of all the shelters so far.
Although the entire surface is charred by the flames, it can be cleaned off easily.
A meteorite in such good condition would be of great help not only to Baekhyun’s research but also to Gochangseok’s refining.
However, the problem is that the owner of the meteorite is looking at Seun with a smile right next to him.
It was Arcana who spoke first.
“Do you want that?”
“Are you going to sell it?”
“Can I buy it if I sell it? If you calculate the value of that, I think it would be at least a billion won.”
“… … .”
This time I thought about the coins I earned at the casino.
I had earned a ton of points, including winning the last underground arena, but even with all that invested, I was barely able to buy a meteorite.
In addition, Seun needs to use his public service points at the auction house soon.
I don’t know exactly, but it would require at least a few hundred million points, and it would be difficult to pay all of my assets here.
As Se-woon’s worries deepened, she pulled the corners of her lips so far that they seemed to stick out of the card.
“I’ll give it to you~”
“……what?”
“You want it, right? I’ll just give it to you~”
You’re just going to hand over a meteorite worth at least a billion dollars?
This alone would be welcome news, but she is not the kind of person who would be so thoughtless as to hand over a meteorite without asking for anything in return.
There must be something you want.
“What do you want?”
“As expected, we communicate well~ Oh, before that, there’s something I need to confirm.”
“check?”
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while~ What is Mr. Wolf’s true identity?”
She brought her face right up to Seun’s nose.
What is your identity? I think that’s a question Se-woon should be asking.
While thinking like that, Arcana lowered the card covering her mouth and whispered in Seun’s ear.
“Mr. Wolf, are you a regressor?”
“……what?”
Se-woon couldn’t help but be flustered.
Suddenly you’re a regressor.
I tried to recall everything I had said and done in front of her so far, but there were no hints.
Are you just wondering? No, even if you were just wondering, if there wasn’t even a shred of doubt, the word “regressor” wouldn’t have come out.
“I see~ You’re cute. You know what? I just saw a look of confusion on your face for the first time.”
“… … .”
“You’re not going to come here and try to get me to do this? Then I’ll be a little disappointed~”
I thought I was keeping a poker face, but I guess I wasn’t.
Well, this time it was hard for Se-un to hide his expression.

Her guess was as outrageous and accurate as it was surprising.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, shakes its head, saying that it is a human being who cannot be grasped.
– The constellation, ‘The Serpent Surrounding Time’, nods silently.
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, laughs out loud, saying that it makes no sense for a regressor to exist.
It’s impossible to hold on to her words.
Although the circumstances were different, an unidentified man who had figured out Seun’s true identity in Jehetton came to mind.
Even though there are only a handful of people who know about Seun’s return, including her, it’s true that I’m a little uneasy.
“How can you not know?”
“What should I say, a woman’s intuition?”
“… … .”
“I’m joking, I’m joking. Relax your expression a bit~”
After giggling for a moment, she began to explain.
“I heard a funny story while I was playing with our incompetent goddess in the past… … no, while I was playing with her.”
“A funny story?”
“I think it was about a year ago? I don’t know the exact time, but at some point, one of the stars disappeared.”
When we say star, we are probably referring to constellations.
Her constellation, Tyche, belongs to Olympus.
If such a god is mentioned by Tyche, then he must also be a constellation belonging to Olympus.
As soon as he heard that, the first thing that came to Se-woon’s mind was the word ‘returners’ that the unidentified man he had encountered in Jehetton had said.
“… … Is it Kronos?”
“As expected, you know~”
Another player who returned with Seun.
I don’t know who it was, but considering how it regressed, there was one most likely possibility.
That’s right, the hourglass of Kronos.
The hourglass Seun used is a replica of Mammon, but there is a high possibility that there are players who regressed using a real hourglass, not a replica.
Unlike Seun, who returned to Mammon without any problems thanks to Mammon’s treasure, it seems that something was wrong with Kronos.
“The stupid gods don’t seem to think much of it, but I think differently. The God of Time turns back the Apostles’ time to avoid a world crisis! Isn’t that a setting that almost came out of a novel?”
“So, you thought I was that regressor?”
“Hey, that’s not possible~ Then you wouldn’t be able to beat Olympus and Chuck, right?”
“then?”
“I knew it when Mr. Wolf’s constellation spoke to me earlier. It was the Demon of Greed, right? We didn’t have a long conversation, but… … .”
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’ is painful.
“I guess I can guess what kind of powers they have by talking to them. And those nasty things.”
“outer.”
“Yes, that one~ That one and the power that Mr. Wolf showed. And other things. I sprinkled a little ‘intuition’ on top of that, and voila! I figured out Mr. Wolf’s true identity~”
There was no definitive information.
Frankly, they were all close to hypotheses or conjectures, and above all, there was little connection to the person who established them.
Yet she was convinced.
Honestly, at this point, I thought I should trust something called ‘women’s intuition’.
No, it’s not like there were no rings at all.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, glances at you and takes notice.
I don’t know what she said, but the suggestion Mamon made to Arcana as she entered the 5th floor must have been a decisive hint to her.
But we can’t blame Mammon here.
After hearing this, I had no choice but to admit it honestly.
“……that’s right.”
“Wow~ So am I talking to a regressor right now? Did you talk to me before you regressed? If it was a man like Mr. Wolf, I would have been interested.”
“I’m sorry, but at that time I couldn’t even get to the second floor of the casino, let alone the third floor.”
“What a pity~ If I had seen it, I would have definitely fallen in love at first sight like I did now!”
What is love?
Even if he had encountered her before the regression, she certainly would not have paid any attention to Se-un.
At that time, Seun was completely different from now; he was just an adventurer who was just beginning to adapt to the tower.
“So, is the tower going to collapse then?”
“that’s right.”
“You didn’t see me then either? Well, if it were me, I would have had another glass of wine here instead of hanging out with those disgusting things.”
“I may have fought, but before I returned, I wasn’t the type to confront them head-on.”
“That’s surprising~ Oh, can you tell me about that time? I’m really curious!”
“now…….”
“Meteorite, don’t you want it?”
“… … .”
want to have.
Swallowing those words, Se-Woon began to open his mouth.
Since I was already caught on tape about the regression, I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal if I said a little more.
It’s unlikely that she’d go around spreading the word about the regression story.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it’?
Since we can’t evade it anyway, it’s better to recover the meteorite.
“Wow, wow! Was that really that strong? I want to see the constellations struggling too~ Well, just looking at our goddess, I can tell how incompetent she is~”
It doesn’t explain everything before the regression.
If that had happened, I would have had to stay up all day, no, I would have had to stay up all night for several days without sleeping.
I summarized the most important events and told only the story of the tower’s destruction.
Leaving out as much of the facts about himself as possible.
“So what was Mr. Wolf doing at that time?”
Of course, she didn’t miss a single loophole.
Every time I tried to omit something, the wind would come rushing in, so I had no choice but to reveal a few facts.
And the long-awaited last one.
The moment comes when the ceiling collapses, the outer shells pour down, and the constellations consumed by the outer shells scatter light and darkness, solidifying the tower’s end.
“I really want to see it too~ I guess I’ve been consumed too? I can’t imagine what it would look like to be consumed, but wouldn’t it be quite attractive?”
Arcana couldn’t hide her curiosity and showed it to the fullest.
“So far.”
“Tell me more~ I mean, it’s been decades since I’ve felt my heart pounding like this?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
“Hey, it doesn’t matter~”
“I’m done here. If things go well, it won’t affect Lilac either… … .”
“Oh, I haven’t told you the conditions for handing over the meteorite yet, right?”
Why is there a condition for handing over a meteorite here all of a sudden?
At that moment, Se-woon felt a chill run down his spine.
I tried hard to shake my head, but aren’t ominous feelings always right?
“I want to go with Mr. Wolf!”
Arcana clung to Seun, her eyes sparkling like a girl’s.
