Worthless Regression Chapter 69

————————————==

< Dong-5 >

I crawled.

I walked.

I ran.

Moving my body was slow. My body wasn’t heavy, but my strength wasn’t working properly. It was a series of ambiguous sensations, unable to tell whether time was stretching or consciousness was stretching. At some point, Lee Seong-min waited, walked, ran, and hoped to run faster.

But I couldn’t run faster. The passing scenery is slow. In the first place, the scenery is not visible. The world in which Lee Seong-min was running was colored black. It was like a night without a single light, and it resembled the darkness that Lee Seong-min had become accustomed to in the mountains of Mushi.

I knew he was running. Seongmin Lee wanted to fly, but he couldn’t. At some point, Lee Seong-min stopped running. And swung his spear. In Lannachal, nine heavenly dances are held. He followed the already familiar path with his hand and spear.

one more time.

I desperately wanted him. Seongmin Lee recalled the strength he had shown and tried several times to show it again. He wanted to infuse his energy and make the head of the spear shine with purple flames.

It didn’t work.

I don’t know the feeling itself. I don’t remember how it was possible. I tried several times but failed. The inner energy curled up in the danjeon did not move as if it had frozen.

why. Was the strength at that time just a coincidence? Lee Seong-min felt despair amid repeated failures. At some point, he neither held the spear nor moved. I spent a lot of time sitting down, and frustration crushed my motivation. He thought it was so rotten.

When I opened my eyes, there was a loud sound of rain. Seongmin Lee looked up at the ceiling blankly. The ceiling of the carriage… It wasn’t. Seongmin Lee opened his lips and stuttered for a moment to breathe, and he realized that everything he had experienced ‘just now’ had been a dream.

“Woke up?”

Scarlett’s voice was heard. Scarlett was sitting on a chair by the window. She took off her glasses that were on the bridge of her nose and closed the book she was reading.

“you. I was down for three days. … I thought I was going to die. “But he didn’t die.”

“… This place… “Where are you?”

My voice didn’t come out well. It seemed to be true that she had been down for three days, as her whole body felt drowsy and achy. Well, with something like this, Scarlett would have no reason to lie.

“It’s just a village everywhere. “There isn’t enough time to get to the city.”

“Scarlett, a carriage?”

“I also have confiscation. I don’t want to do it, but What can I do? “You, who were supposed to drive the carriage, fell down, so I have to do it.”

Scarlett grumbled and got up. She glanced at the rain falling outside her window.

“It started raining this morning. I think it will stop tomorrow… The ground is bad after it rains. Shouldn’t we be able to leave only the day after tomorrow at the earliest? “You just opened your eyes today.”

Scarlett said that and approached Lee Sung-min.

“I tried calling the doctor in this town… Because I’m not that talented. There are no healing wizards or priests. First of all, I managed to heal the trauma using a potion… “Just check it out.”

Although his mind was a little dazed, Lee Seong-min decided to follow Scarlett’s words and move his arms. The injuries he remembered were those on both palms, elbow joints, left side, and ribs.

Lee Seong-min’s both arms were in splints. When Lee Seong-min glanced at Scarlett, she responded with a look on her face that showed Scarlett was no big deal.

“I did it. “I know how to use first aid.”

Seongmin Lee carefully moved his arm under the splint. Although he was a little stiff, he had no difficulty moving. Just because it’s a potion doesn’t mean it completely heals wounds. It is effective for abrasions and cuts quickly, but fractures and internal injuries cannot be fully recovered with potions alone. Nevertheless, it was fortunate that the bone was attached without much pain.

‘no. ‘Maybe this is also a power of the heart?’

Lee Seong-min did not know exactly what power the black heart inside his body had. What he did confirm was that taking the elixir could lead to Danjeon without any refining process. Other than that, I don’t know anything else.

Aine, who had the same heart as Lee Sung-min, was different from Lee Sung-min in many ways. Aine had various abilities that Lee Seong-min could not. Seeing him unfolding the Hundred Step Divine Strike, it seemed as if he had stolen Zeon’s martial arts through Zeon’s heart.

I don’t know how such a thing is possible, but Aine also had various other abilities. Her limbs constantly changed shape, even wrapping her entire body in her hard carapace. Her physical abilities were superior to Lee Sung-min’s and she was even able to regenerate her wounds in an instant. No matter how you look at her, she had abilities that could not be considered human.

It is different from Lee Seong-min. Seong-min Lee could not change his limbs, nor did he have amazing regenerative powers. However, it may be that she has a certain level of regenerative power, although not as much as Aine.

“I think it’s okay.”

“What about the internal injuries?”

Scarlett came over and untied the splints on Lee Seong-min’s arms. Lee Seong-min moved his arms a little and sat cross-legged. He thought he had suffered quite a few internal injuries in his fight with Aine… Within three days, the internal injuries had already recovered. Even though the potion helped, it was a strangely fast recovery.

“Why didn’t you run away?”

After slightly moving his internal energy, Seongmin Lee asked Scarlett. Scarlett, who pulled a chair and sat down next to Lee Sung-min, let out a laugh.

“Because I didn’t want to do that.”

“Wasn’t it a dangerous situation? If you’re careful… ”

“It wasn’t really like that. It wasn’t actually dangerous. … I didn’t want to run away, that’s all. “I didn’t want to abandon you.”

It seemed like he didn’t want to go into detail, so Lee Seong-min didn’t ask any more questions.

“More than that, what was that monster kid? Why did he suddenly appear and attack us?”

“… “It’s probably because of me.”

Seongmin Lee answered in a low voice. Scarlett’s eyebrows twitched at those words.

“what do you mean?”

Scarlett owes money. She could have abandoned Lee Sung-min and run away, but she chose to stay for Lee Sung-min. Without Scarlett’s help, Lee Seong-min would not have been able to stand against Aine.

Lee Seong-min sighed and told me about his relationship with Aine. Scarlett pursed her lips and listened to Lee Sung-min’s story. After hearing the story of what happened in the dungeon, the black heart that Seongmin Lee had, and Aine, who probably has the same heart as him. Scarlett sighed and scratched the back of his head.

“… no wonder. I heard you meet Kim Jong-hyun and that psycho bastard strangely often. Was it because of the heart?”

“ah… yes.”

“You too are very unlucky. no. In this case, should we say that our luck is good? In any case, my body is in better shape than before. “If you think about it that way, I think it’s a reasonable price.”

“You mean you almost died?”

“There are a lot of people in the world who want to gain talent even if they take such risks. “As long as he doesn’t die in the future, that’s fine.”

Scarlett grumbled and got up.

“You know you’re lucky. “It would have been easier for you to survive because you would travel with me.”

“… “Are you saying you want to go with me in the future?”

“why? Did you think that if I heard this, I would say my life was a waste and not go out with you? You’ve been looking at me wrong for a long time, right? “I’m not that kind of person.”

Scarlett chuckled. She lifted the glasses and book she had left on the table by the window.

“anyway. I’m glad you don’t seem to be feeling well. … Originally, I was thinking of leaving after the rain stopped and the ground dried out a bit. After hearing your situation, I don’t think I can be that relaxed. “Let’s leave as soon as the rain stops tomorrow.”

“ah… yes.”

“You don’t have to think about me. No matter how dangerous it is, I have a way to protect my life.”

I’m resting. Scarlett said and left the room. Of course, Scarlett was staying in another room. He was just staying in this room to take care of Lee Seong-min.

When Scarlett left, Lee Sung-min was left alone in the room. Seongmin Lee thought about Scarlett’s words. At the moment, I couldn’t figure out why Scarlett took the risk to go with Lee Sung-min. Scarlett herself doesn’t seem to want to tell, so even if she asks, she won’t be able to find out the reason.

However, Lee Seong-min felt that Scarlett’s words and attitude had an emotional reason. The feeling was not like affection between a man and a woman.

Seongmin Lee stopped thinking about him. Seongmin Lee carefully stood up. Perhaps because he had been lying down for a long time, his body felt drowsy and stiff. It didn’t feel that good because it was similar to the heaviness he felt in his dream.

As I stretched my hand towards the window leaning against the wall. Seongmin Lee thought a lot. Most of those thoughts came from the despair he felt in his dreams. When he held the spear, Lee Seong-min took a deep breath. Calming his trembling heart…

Seongmin Lee recalled what he felt right before he fainted. actually… Even Lee Seong-min himself did not know the method well. I didn’t use it because I knew how to do it. After all his horrible thoughts and self-loathing, his mind seemed to clear… at there.

Suddenly I was able to use my strength.

As he traced what he felt at that time, Lee Seong-min increased his strength in Danjeon. The energy he injected into his spear became a purple mist that floated around the window and the head of the window. This is not enough. Lee Seong-min continued to add strength. The color of the shaking fog became darker and began to coalesce. A little more. While trying to remember the sensation, Seongmin Lee added more energy.

And at some point, the fog completely gathered together. Soon it became a quivering flame. Although it was lighter in color and smaller than the strength achieved in the fight with Aine, it was undoubtedly true that it had reached a level of strength that went beyond simply covering ki.

It was also proof that Lee Sung-min had overcome the biggest, hardest, and highest wall of the climax. Using strong techniques does not make you a transcendent expert, but all transcendent experts use strong techniques. In other words, it was evidence that Ganggi was approaching the peak of transcendence.

‘But it’s immature.’

It was an unavoidable fact. Creating strength takes too much time and requires mental concentration. It consumes a lot of energy, so it is impossible to overuse it. First of all, getting used to forming a strong team will be the top priority for Lee Seong-min.

Seongmin Lee put down the window. and… I cried a little. When he first used strong energy in his fight with Aine. Seongmin Lee thought he wanted to cry. He was thrilled to have reached a level he had never dreamed of in his previous life. It was those kind of tears. Have I moved a little forward? How far have we progressed? One step? Maybe half a step.

It doesn’t matter. The important thing is to move forward.

Lee Seong-min knelt down and continued to cry.

Outside the window, the rain was thinning.
