Worthless Regression Chapter 62

————————————==

‘Black heart? ‘What is this?’

Seongmin Lee was very embarrassed and looked down at his body. No change is felt in his barded, long body. The annoying heartbeat that was ringing in his ears quieted down, and he couldn’t be conscious of it like usual. However, a strange feeling of something unpleasant remained in a corner of his heart. Lee Seong-min caught his breath while pressing his left chest with his hand.

Seongmin Lee first opened the status window. I don’t know what ‘Black Heart’ is, but he heard a voice like when he learned the skill, so he thought he could check it in the status window.

It was just as I thought.

-Black heart.

The ultimate dream that Richie Frescan had hoped for.

The problem was this. As for the skills that can be checked through the status window, like other skills, the descriptions were too vague. It is said to be the ultimate of Freskan’s wish, but what on earth is that wish and what is the ultimate? The impression Lee Seong-min remembers about Richie and Preskan is that he was just a crazy guy who talked nonsense about wanting to become a woman and that she wanted to have children.

“I… Lloyd?”

Seongmin Lee hesitated and called Lloyd. Lloyd asked Lee Seong-min to destroy the heart, but she unintentionally took the heart she was supposed to destroy. Seongmin Lee felt embarrassed and called Lloyd.

“Lord Lloyd?”

But Lloyd didn’t answer. Seongmin Lee was startled and approached Lloyd. Lloyd, who had fallen down, was not moving. Seongmin Lee hurriedly checked Lloyd’s pulse.

Fortunately, Lloyd wasn’t dead, just passed out. What she thought was a serious injury actually turned out not to be that bad. No, it was happening that way. Seongmin Lee stuck out her tongue as she watched Lloyd’s wounds regenerate at a speed she could see.

Seongmin Lee was trying to support Lloyd’s body, but a thought crossed his mind and he paused for a moment. Seongmin Lee turned his body and approached Zeon.

Was it a sudden death? Zeon’s eyes were wide open. Seongmin Lee let out a short sigh and stretched out his hand towards Zeon’s face. Seongmin Lee closed Zeon’s open eyes with his hesitant hand and searched Zeon’s arms.

A small cloth bag is held in one’s hand. Seongmin Lee carefully pulled it out. It was a palm-sized pocket, but when I opened the opening and put my hand in, it went all the way up to my arm.

I looked around inside and found a few miscellaneous items. Seongmin Lee grabbed one of them and pulled his hand away.

‘Baekbo Shinwon.’

That’s what it said in the old book. The moment he saw that, Lee Seong-min’s heart started pounding. One of the most famous fighting methods that comes to mind when thinking of Shaolin is the Hundred Treasures Divine Fist, which Zeon learned.

As I was leaving, I searched inside a little more and was able to pull out a few more martial arts documents. Lee Seong-min looked down at the Dharma Mind Technique and Arhat Foot Technique that had been brought out and burst out in admiration. It was all a season of Shaolin. As Lee Seong-min, who had learned Jahashingong and Muyeongtalhon, he was not greedy for the Bodhidharma Simbeop and Arhat Bodhisattva Techniques, but he was greedy for the Baekbo Sacred Realm. This is because he thought there was no harm in learning martial arts for situations where one cannot swing a spear.

‘I may not have time to learn it properly, but… ‘

However, if you learn it, you can use it in times of emergency. However, since he could not learn it right away, Lee Seong-min put the three martial arts books into his subspace pocket. And he searched Xeon’s subspace pocket again.

Two wooden boxes. One of them looked familiar. This was the wooden armor that Zeon showed to Seongmin Lee when he tried to lure him into the Corona mercenary group. Seongmin Lee swallowed his saliva and opened his neck armor.

The summoning table, Shaolin’s arcane elixir, was placed neatly. Lee Seong-min was so happy that he felt like dancing, but he suppressed the urge and opened another wooden armor.

A clear, refreshing scent pierced Lee Seong-min’s nose. What was placed inside the wooden armor was a red ring slightly larger than the summoning altar. Great Hwandan. Seongmin Lee had never seen Daehwandan in person, but he had no doubt that it was Daehwandan. Seongmin Lee closed his wooden gloves with his trembling hands and stuffed them into his subspace pocket.

“… Don’t be too resentful. Wouldn’t it be better for someone to take care of it rather than leave it like this?”

After muttering that to Zeon, who was already dead, Seongmin Lee searched Zeon’s body a little more. Unfortunately, other items other than the subspace pocket were not picked up. After Seongmin Lee took Zeon’s subspace pocket, he searched the bodies of other mercenaries and took their subspace pockets as well.

After taking care of everything, Seongmin Lee supported Lloyd’s body. Then he found his way out of the dungeon. The bodies of Zeon and other mercenaries were left untouched. The original idea was to find large subspace pockets in the bodies of Bern and other mercenaries and retrieve the bodies of the dead, but it did not work out as planned. This is because, except for Zeon and the mummified mercenaries, there were no corpses left.

In the end, Seongmin Lee carried Zeon and the mummified corpses of the mercenaries with Lloyd up the stairs.

It was a pity that I couldn’t get the other artifacts from the dungeon, but since I took the level of Shaolin in the Daehwandan and Summoning Dan, it could never be said to be a loss.

When I came out of the dungeon, the sun was setting. Since I entered the dungeon before noon, at least half a day had passed. Lee Seong-min sighed and glanced at Lloyd, who was on his back. Lloyd was stunned, her breathing even.

Fortunately, the carriage and horses were left not far from the dungeon, so returning wasn’t a big problem. The coachmen who were resting were shocked to see Lee Seong-min return with the unconscious Lloyd and the corpses, but after Lee Seong-min roughly explained the situation, they were convinced for the time being.

“Let’s go back to Behenger.”

Seongmin Lee said that in a voice tinged with fatigue. The time I spent in the dungeon was at most half a day, but it was so… I’ve been through too much. My mind was so tangled with thoughts that it felt like it was going to explode.

Inside the rattling carriage, Lee Seong-min decided to organize the facts he learned in the dungeon. He took out the notebook he always carried in his pocket and grabbed a pen.

1. There are beings other than me whose causality is distorted. I don’t know who he is, but seeing as he said that such a powerful lich was something he couldn’t do anything about, it appears that he has the skills of a supreme expert.

2. For me, there is something other than a twisted causality. Kim Jong-hyun knows something about it, but he can’t tell me. The being summoned by the lich refused to accept me as a sacrifice.

2-1. But Mush and Nevel are greedy for my soul. I don’t know what the difference is between the being summoned by the lich and Mush and Nevel.

2-2. Since returning, I have been receiving a strange amount of favor from people around me.

3. In my previous life, Barding transformed a third-rate mercenary into a top expert, but I am not feeling any change.

4. I got something called a black heart, but I don’t know what it is.

5. Lloyd, who was originally supposed to be dead, came back to life. Lloyd agrees to return the favor, but she doesn’t know what she will receive. Besides me, all other mercenaries are dead. From Zeon, he obtained the Daehwan Dan, the Summoning Dan, and the secret rank of Shaolin.

Seongmin Lee looked through the articles he had written. As he explained his complex thoughts in writing, his mind became calmer. The problem is that even if I write it down like this, I can’t come up with an answer to any of them.

‘Is there something in the past life stone in the first place?’

Lee Seong-min frowned and was lost in thought. When he held the stone from his previous life, he didn’t think much of it. He thought it was just some kind of stone, and died without being able to hold on for long.

Lee Seong-min felt fortunate to know someone who could provide answers to things like barding and the black heart.

It was late at night when we arrived at Behenger. Lee Seong-min immediately returned to the mercenary guild and reported the tragedy that occurred in the dungeon, and laid down Zeon and the mummified corpses of the mercenaries as evidence.

“What happened to the guild leader?”

When Bern was away, the middle-aged mercenary acting as the guild leader urgently asked. It was Jo Young, an S-class mercenary. Although he had met him a few times and became familiar with him, he was not very close to Lee Seong-min.

“He passed away.”

Lee Seong-min also felt bitter and sad about Bern’s death. This is because Bern was quite friendly to Lee Seong-min.

“mind… Nonsense.”

“I will explain the details later.”

“what? Where are you going?! What could be more urgent than this? !”

“Lord Lloyd, the owner of the Golden Magic Tower, is injured. The reason I was able to save my life was because Lloyd appeared in the warlock’s dungeon and kicked the warlock out of the dungeon. “Lloyd suffered serious injuries in the process.”

“Lord of the Golden Magic Tower… ? “Really?”

Jo Young’s eyes widened. If you are the owner of a golden magic tower, you are higher in rank than the branch leader of the Behenger Mercenary Guild. In the first place, the Magic Tower is a place that receives special treatment even within the wizard guild. Being the owner of a magic tower means that you are an archmage with skills and reputation that are among the top ten in the wizard guild, so it was natural for Jo Young to be shocked.

“yes. So, first of all, I would like to take Lloyd to the wizard guild… ”

“… then… I can’t help it. “I understand.”

In the end, Jo Young had no choice but to bend his attitude. Jo Young made a bitter expression as he looked at Zeon’s body in the carriage.

“No way, Zeon, the leader of the Corona mercenaries… I never thought I would die like this. Bern too… Phew!”

Seongmin Lee left Joyoung sighing and put Lloyd on his back. The wizard guild was not far from the mercenary guild, so it didn’t take long to move.

When Lee Seong-min took Lloyd to the wizard’s guild, the guild turned upside down. The fact that Lloyd, the owner of the golden magic tower, was carried home injured was enough to shake up the wizard guild of Behenger. Although it was already late at night, the wizards belonging to the wizard guild were busy trying to find a way to restore Lloyd.

“It’s okay to overdo it.”

Scarlett, who had already arrived, grumbled. Lee Sung-min, who was standing with his back against the wall, gave a slight nod to Scarlett who approached him.

“Looking at it, the wounds have already regenerated. He just fainted because his magic power was depleted. “When your magical power returns to a certain extent, your eyes will open normally.”

“Then there is no need for separate treatment?”

“Not really. Still, a show-off approach is necessary. “I have to pretend to be busy doing something, so I can save face later when that great golden magic tower lord opens his eyes.”

Scarlett giggled and laughed. From the attitude conveyed through her words, Scarlett didn’t seem to like being a ‘magic tower lord’ very much.

“Don’t all wizards respect their magic tower lords?”

“What is respect? I don’t really like the old men called Mage Tower. Those old guys are full of secrets. They don’t even take disciples. “They don’t even share the magic they have learned and the knowledge they have gained with others.”

It felt strange to hear such words from Scarlett, who would found the Lesir School and become the owner of the Red Magic Tower in just a few years. People are bound to change, but what kind of change of heart will happen to Scarlett over the next few years?

“Rather than that, you… The armor is cool. “Where did you get it?”

“… “By chance, I had an opportunity.”

“I heard that all the other mercenaries are dead? … You were lucky. I feel fortunate. “If you had died, your dreams would have been violent.”

“Are you worried about me?”

“For a kid to say something disgusting. “It’s natural to feel bad when someone you know dies.”

Scarlett grumbled and grabbed Lee Sung-min’s head.

“I was wondering what was so loud at night.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Lee Seong-min turned around.

Kim Jong-hyun, wearing a pure white gown, stood yawning.
