Worthless Regression Chapter 68

————————————==

< Dong-4 >

That’s it. I don’t want to die. You must not die. There is no need to think about why I should not die anymore. Already, here. You can’t die. Lee Seong-min heard Scarlett’s warning cry from a very far away. He gripped his spear and lowered his stance.

Aine’s martial arts skills were immature. Aine was able to perform all the martial arts that Zeon had learned, but that did not mean that she could perform them as skillfully as Zeon did. Although the memory was there and the level was the same, Aine himself, who practiced it, was inexperienced in martial arts.

Aine’s fighting method was to cover up such immaturity with enormous magical power and anomalies through physical changes. If Scarlett had not assisted, Lee Seong-min would have already been killed by Aine.

No, maybe now.

Tentacles graze. Lee Seong-min’s strength was not enough to repel Aine’s attack towards Ran and I. The sound I hear is far away. Forgetting to breathe, Lee Seong-min ran forward. The shape of the tentacle that narrowly grazed his head changed. I feel an attack stabbing me in the back with my sixth sense.

Muyeong Talhon transplant, Ilbo Muyoung. The shadows dance. Lee Seong-min’s body left an afterimage. At the same speed as it charges, it fires a single-second Chuhon attack.

Aine did not avoid. The bare body covered with a carapace catches Lee Seong-min’s spear. Whoops! With a dull sound, the spear trembled in Lee Seong-min’s hand. Even with so much energy, the spear could not pierce Aine’s body.

There is no time to force the spear head in with more force. Seongmin Lee moved his feet while retrieving both hands that had fired his spear. When I left the space in one step, Aine’s fist hit the spot where Lee Seong-min was standing just moments ago.

Even the smallest mistake is not tolerated. It’s the same as the Ogre Chimera, no, it’s worse than that. There was a certain amount of leeway when responding to the Ogre Chimera’s attack, but Lee Seong-min now had no time to spare. There was no such thing as leisure in the first place.

‘If Scarlett wasn’t there.’

That kind of thinking. How helpless he is. Something like that… I woke up in Frescan’s dungeon. How insignificant it really is that he is a peak expert. Even though he didn’t want to become a cicada, he thought he had shed a larva, but in reality, how insignificant he was.

The opponent is such a monster.

Even though he has the same heart as Lee Sung-min, he cannot be compared to him. The monster that killed Zeon and drove Lloyd to the brink of death.

‘Can I do it?’

Against Zeon, the leader of the Corona mercenaries? Or against Lloyd?

If you think like that, what will change and what will you gain?

I wanted to see the end of nothingness.

That’s what I thought. Even when he left the mountain of Mushi, Lee Seong-min was under the illusion that he had become a seeker walking the lonely path of ‘Mu’. He packed himself with luck, fate, and hard work to replace his meager talent. Yes, Lee Seong-min was like that at that time.

But now.

own weakness. If it’s Wijihoyeon, if it’s Baeksogo. Thinking from someone else’s perspective rather than ‘myself’, what I ended up doing was escape, and I gave up on trying. I will try to see the end of nothingness. When I decided to train myself, I tried to overcome an insurmountable wall by relying on barding.

Without trying to break down the wall or jump over it yourself.

Because I knew the reality. Before going to sleep, Lee Seong-min said that to himself several times. It was easy to carry out the request, but it was still an S-rank request. My skills did not improve and my martial arts achievements did not increase. Because you can’t receive compensation for your hard work anywhere other than Mushi’s Mountain. So he ran away. About effort. In martial arts training.

So do you die?

Quang! Lee Seong-min’s body rolled around on the ground. Although the barding that covered Lee Seong-min’s body had lost its original ability, it served as an excellent armor in itself. That was fortunate. If I hadn’t had the barding, I wouldn’t have ended up with this much injury.

Even so, the wound was serious. Although it is not visible on the outside, the internal wound is quite heavy. Aine jumped towards Lee Seong-min, who was lying down, and Scarlett quickly used magic to keep Aine in check.

Loud binge drinking, rumbling and sore stomach, fishy taste in the mouth, pounding headache, and pounding heart. Lee Seong-min stood up while catching his breath. His left side throbbed. Is it because I got hit, or because I was rolled over, or maybe both?

Before we knew it, night was approaching and the surroundings were dark. Scarlett’s magic was amazing even for Lee Seong-min, who was unfamiliar with the field. Every time Scarlett’s hand swept the air, unknown letters embroidered on it. And then the magic appears and explodes.

As Lee Seong-min watched it, he felt the bitterness in his mouth like poison. What was gushing out from under the tongue was not saliva, but thick poison. hate. I hate myself for being helpless. Seongmin Lee dragged his feet.

‘I am.’

I had to change. I wanted to change. I learned that the world changes as ‘I’ change. I learned it on the mountain of Mshi. Lee Seong-min at that time had clearly changed. Lee Seong-min has changed differently from the previous Lee Seong-min, the Lee Seong-min before entering the mountain of Mr.

It was just not enough. Some people, yes, the type of people commonly called ‘geniuses’ will do everything easily. Moving forward and changing. One step taken by a genius may be the same as several steps taken by a criminal, or dozens of steps taken by a criminal.

Lee Seong-min, who is not a genius, must keep walking. One realization is not enough. You have to realize this over and over again.

About yourself. You need to know reality. You must realize how different the ideal you had and the reality you face are different.

‘know.’

Connect the scattered thoughts together. I know. Strengthen your loose grip and grab the spear. I know it’s insignificant. I know it’s insignificant. I know I’m not a genius. I also know that the ‘change’ I felt and experienced wasn’t that great. I know that he has become something great and that he is a fool who gives up too easily and despairs when faced with a wall like a seeker who wants to see the end of nothingness.

I’m looking high on that topic.

The ideal is too high.

There is so much to wish for.

In his self-loathing, Lee Seong-min moved quietly. Although Scarlett is an excellent wizard, her spell inscription is not yet complete. Thanks to this, her efficiency in terms of magical power consumption is not very good. Her spell engraving, which combined her Kimun transformation and Onmyodo, was an effective attack method against Aine, who had immunity to magic.

But the decision-making power was too lacking. The firepower that Scarlett could bring out ‘now’ was insufficient to determine victory or defeat. With Aine’s incredible regenerative powers, it was enough to say that she was the ultimate life form. She tried to push Scarlett to recover, recover, recover again and again from her wounds.

Seongmin Lee saw it.

In disgusting self-loathing, weighed down by my own helplessness. hate. That feeling of rejection makes Lee Seong-min move. I don’t want Scarlett to die. I don’t want to die either. There is a reason not to die.

It hasn’t changed yet.

Aine, who was jumping towards Scarlett, sensed something sharp behind her. It was an attack so shallow that it was okay to ignore it, but Aine dared to turn around. What got on Aine’s nerves in the first place was Lee Seong-min’s presence, not Scarlett’s.

Aine doesn’t know who Lee Seong-min is. He just didn’t like it and it got on his nerves. Since Aine knew very little about how to solve these problems, she just tried to come up with her own reasonable answer.

If I kill you, won’t it end? Aine smiled, showing her teeth as she watched Lee Seong-min throwing out the window. Light and slow attack. There is no problem even if you get hit with your bare body.

That was indeed the case. Lee Seong-min’s spear bounces upward awkwardly as Aine lightly shakes his hand. My grip is torn and my elbow joint creaks as it cannot withstand the force. When Aine’s hand comes aiming for my empty chest, I instinctively twist my body to avoid the sharp claws. Kagagak! With a sharp sound of metal, the barding covering his side is cut. Blood pours from a thin cut on the side. If the cut had been a little deeper, the intestines might have spilled out.

You can’t be at ease. Aine was the predator and Lee Seong-min was the prey. A predator tries to fool its prey. Play and fighting do not exist between a rabbit and a tiger. No matter how desperate the rabbit is, if it gets hit by the tiger’s playful paw, it will inevitably die.

Lee Seong-min ran like a rabbit. Perhaps it would be more correct to call them fleas rather than rabbits. I ran to avoid Aine’s violence and to survive. The feet, which are constantly moving, step on the steps of Muyeongtalhon, and in the meantime, the creaking arms are forced to move and the Gucheonmugeukchang is unfolded. Scarlett could no longer support Lee Sung-min. She took a deep breath, gathered her magic, and just looked at Lee Sung-min through her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Even if she runs away, Lee Seong-min will not blame her. But Scarlett had no intention of running away. She was seriously contemplating whether or not to use her last move.

Of course, Lee Seong-min didn’t know that. He couldn’t even afford to try to get to know him. Quaaaang! Lee Seong-min’s body is pushed back by Aine’s kick. His legs gave out and he almost collapsed on the spot, but Lee Seong-min barely managed to hold on without falling. Black blood flowed from between her tightly closed lower lips. Aine burst out laughing. His shape-shifting hands were large and sharp.

The window is heavy.

It was a heaviness I hadn’t felt in a long time. I haven’t felt the spear as heavy since I came down from the mountain. My body is heavy. This was also the same. His tortured eardrums made a humming noise, and his nose was filled with the scent of blood.

Die.

Is this my end? He couldn’t meet Wijihoyeon, couldn’t save Baeksogo, and ended up getting Scarlett caught up and killed. Sudden death, as always. There is still some inner strength left in the Danjeon. It’s a damn body that’s not worth eating. Lee Seong-min suppressed the feeling of wanting to laugh and brought out his inner skills. Thank you for your hard work… Turn it. Turn your energy around. Watching Aine run, but not yet. I don’t think it’s time to die yet.

Because you can still move.

Not many people would be able to accept death happily. If a person still has regrets, he does not wish for death. Even if a person has no regrets, he cannot be calm in the face of death. Most people struggle not to die. Lee Seong-min also struggled. There were countless reasons why he should not die, and they became the lingering regret that moved Lee Seong-min.

There was no one who could save Lee Seong-min at this moment. There is no Wijihoyeon, and there is no Baeksogo. There is no Lloyd either. In order to survive, ‘I’ have to do it. You shouldn’t rely on anyone. Just as I changed and the world changed, all subjects belong to ‘me’.

I felt like my mind became a little clearer.

Scarlett put an end to her worries. No matter how much she thought about it, there were only two answers she could come up with. Run away or fight. Among them, running away was out of the question for Scarlett in the first place. Still, the reason she was worried was simply because it was a waste.

But I couldn’t argue with that in the current situation. Scarlett clicked her tongue and put her hand in his arms. It was that moment.

Purple smoke billowed from Lee Seong-min’s window. Aine, who was jumping in, instinctively knew that it was dangerous, so she immediately stopped running and increased the distance between herself and Lee Seong-min.

The puffed up smoke coils and clumps together. It was not a faint smoke, but a shimmering light. no. It looked like a blazing fire. Aine, seeing such light for the first time, stood with her mouth half-open and her eyes wide. Lee Seong-min, whose complexion became pale after losing so much blood, quietly looked down at the purple flames surrounding his spear.

I thought I wanted to cry.

When the spear was fired forward. The movement of the spear was not like that of a spear. It was the Lanna Temple where Lee Seong-min practiced the most. okay. It was a simple stab. It was a not-so-quick thrust, but Aine could no longer ignore it. She responded with a stern look on her face. Her carapace-covered hand reaches out to block the spear.

Couldn’t stop it. The moment the spear head touched, the carapace disintegrated, and Aine’s palm was pierced before the metal blade could pierce. There was no need for speed or strength to do so. The spearhead was pushed out without stopping and pierced Aine’s right shoulder.

Aine screamed. She had never known pain, but her pain now was foreign to her. Wounds do not regenerate. Aine swung her left hand, turning her shrill scream into her yell. Seongmin Lee took a half step back and used Ran’s method to rotate the magazine.

Aine’s left arm was torn off after being caught in the rotation. Even in this process, no great force was needed. Scarlett froze in the position she put her hand in his arms, and Aine’s eyes opened in shock. Seongmin Lee was unable to think complex thoughts. He attacked Aine again using the Lanna Chal technique, and Aine was frightened and twisted her upper body. The side of his neck cracked open and blood poured out.

“Ah, ah, it hurts!”

Aine screams. Even if she wanted to cover her wounds, she no longer had both hands. Aine jumped and jumped back. She then started running away without hesitation. Lee Seong-min moved her feet to chase Aine, but she could not walk a few steps and sat down on the spot. His head was spinning and blood was streaming from his nose. Scarlett also did not chase after her Aine, but quickly ran to Lee Seong-min.

“… ah.”

Seongmin Lee did not see Aine walking away. Just, he looked at his spear that he hadn’t let go of yet. The flame surrounding the window no longer existed.

“I did it.”

Seongmin Lee muttered as his consciousness faded.

What Lee Seong-min showed just now was a powerful performance.
