Worthless Regression Chapter 70

————————————==

< Sword Dragon-1 >

Aine didn’t die. The situation at that time was extremely unfavorable for Aine, so he chose not to fight anymore and just walked away. Although both of his arms had been cut off, he had seen with his own eyes that Aine had both her ankles cut off and instantly regenerated her severed feet.

I don’t know why Aine attacked me. But this one thing was clear. Aine knew that Lee Seong-min had a black heart. Frescan, the monster-strong lich, did not die either. No doubt the two are acting together.

‘maybe… ‘They’re probably trying to steal my heart.’

I was lucky this time. I couldn’t help but think that way. If Scarlett wasn’t there, Lee Seong-min wouldn’t have lasted long and would have died, and if he wasn’t lucky enough to learn how to use strength in that situation, he would have died even if Scarlett was there.

okay. I was simply lucky.

‘It’s luck in the end.’

Because we didn’t know when Aine would come after us again, we left the village the day after the rain stopped. Although most of Lee Sung-min’s wounds had already recovered, Scarlett went out of her way to drive the carriage in Lee Sung-min’s place.

Surprisingly, Scarlett was good at driving a carriage. Since the general situation was taken into account, Scarlett also agreed to quickly leave the area.

Thanks to Scarlett driving the carriage, Lee Seong-min was able to think about himself a little more. Although he was able to use strong skills, his martial achievements did not increase. The martial arts achievements displayed in the status window do not lie.

‘I haven’t overcome the wall of transcendence yet.’

We simply crossed a wall. There were still many walls left in front of Lee Seong-min. Currently, Seongmin Lee was not even fully aware of the existence of the wall.

Have I become a little stronger?

Lee Seong-min could not answer such a question on his own. Becoming stronger… I would have done it. But I feel like my current level of strength is not enough. He said he can use his strength, but I don’t think he can win against Preskan. The same applies even if the other person is Aine. There is no guarantee that you will be lucky next time.

So Lee Seong-min started swinging the spear again. If you think about it… It’s been quite a while since I’ve been focused on practice like this. Lee Seong-min was frustrated when he faced a wall and thought he could not overcome it. He became frustrated and stopped practicing. Because he didn’t want to be more frustrated. He was afraid of the despair he would feel when nothing worked.

Not now.

Although I was worried about Aine and Freskan’s attack, Aine had not been seen since the first raid. Although it was a little unsettling, other than that the journey went smoothly. On his way he passed through several cities, each time repairing his carriage and changing his horses.

Three months have passed since Lee Seong-min and Scarlett left Behenger. For three months, Seongmin Lee practiced singing, footwork, and naegongsimbeop whenever he had time. Whenever Lee Seong-min did that, Scarlett opened a grimoire not far away and devoted herself to the study of magic, which Lee Seong-min did not understand.

“You work really hard.”

The early morning air was cold. Scarlett opened the carriage door and came out, wrapping her blanket around her body. Lee Seong-min, who was drying his sweat in the cold air, glanced back at Scarlett.

“You woke up earlier than usual.”

“Because I don’t have good dreams.”

Scarlett had a slight look of irritation on her face as she said that. Scarlett glanced at her burning campfire and stretched out her hand. She added sparks to the bonfire without much chanting.

“Come to think of it. When you were on Mt. Mshi, you were forbidden to dream. … If you think about it, you are also very toxic. You had nightmares every day. “If it were me, I would go crazy.”

“Surprisingly, I was able to survive. “There was also Scarlett’s magic.”

“Mind cleaning is only a temporary measure. Although I taught you, I honestly… I didn’t think you could last. Either finish your training and run away from the mountain, or go crazy. “I thought it was one of two things.”

Scarlett chuckled. She crouched down near the campfire and wrapped herself in her blanket.

“What are you doing? “Never mind, just keep going.”

“Aren’t you going to sleep any longer?”

“I told you. “I had a nightmare.”

“What nightmare was it?”

“The remote area is also spacious. Why did I have a nightmare? If I tell you, will you at least solve it?”

Scarlett asked, raising the corners of her mouth. Since he was already completely accustomed to Scarlett’s speaking style, Lee Sung-min shrugged his shoulders without much hesitation.

“Because I can at least listen.”

“I don’t particularly want you to listen.”

“Then you don’t have to say anything.”

Seongmin Lee answered like that and raised his spear. Concentrate your mind and move your inner energy. The purple smoke that covered the window coalesced and turned into flames. Compared to the first time, the speed of forming strength has become considerably faster. But it was still slow. Seongmin Lee couldn’t help but realize that he lacked the knack for this type of thing.

“I had a dream a long time ago.”

Scarlett muttered. Seongmin Lee did not stop swinging his spear. But I kept my ears open and listened to Scarlett. If you stop the window and focus on Scarlett, Scarlett will not even say what you want to say.

“This is a story from when I was still young. I am very… This is a story from when I was a cute and cute little girl. This was before I was summoned to Eria. It’s not a big deal, though. “The war broke out.”

The scale of the story suddenly grew.

“why. When there is war, there are always orphans. So did I. I had a dream about that time. Families die, villages burn. I was lucky to survive, and have been lucky ever since. “I was able to survive somehow, and I learned magic.”

When it comes to surviving, that is. Scarlett added.

“Actually, I think everything is like that. I survived and survived because I was lucky. If you’re unlucky, it’s natural to die. Around me… There were a lot of unlucky guys. What if you become close friends but you’re unlucky and die? Those who are lucky enough to survive will feel quite a loss. “That’s the law.”

You die because you are unlucky. Lee Seong-min also agreed with those words. In his previous life, Seongmin Lee died because he was unlucky. In this life, I was lucky and survived. Even Lee Seong-min himself wasn’t sure if that ‘luck’ was really luck.

“It’s hard to get used to that kind of loss. I am… They said so. This is my kind of defense mechanism. I’ve been lucky so far, and I think I’ll be luckier in the future. But I can’t imagine that other people will be lucky as well. “That’s why I don’t want to become friends.”

What are you talking about? Scarlett let out a laugh.

“So, it’s like this. You don’t have to become friends. That’s what all people are, right? When people around you die, you feel different emotions, but when someone who has nothing to do with you dies, you just feel that way. huh. There’s nothing particularly selfish about it, people are like that. “Me too.”

Lannachal became the nine heavenly champion. I was familiar with the singing style that I had learned over a long period of time, and I had no trouble swinging it. The energy flowing from the dantian maintains strength. But the light gradually becomes fainter. Just maintaining strength takes an enormous amount of concentration, but it was difficult to maintain concentration while listening to Scarlett.

“We will arrive in Bredon in about a week. I’ve been lucky so far so nothing has happened. “I hope it continues to be like that.”

“Are you worried?”

Seongmin Lee stopped the window. Scarlett, who had been looking at the bonfire, looked up at those words. The flickering light illuminated Scarlett’s face.

“huh.”

Scarlett nodded her head.

“Because we became friends at best. “I don’t want to see you die.”

“I am the same.”

Seongmin Lee said with a bitter smile.

“It’s not just Scarlett. me too… I don’t want to see anyone I know die. “I think I want to stop it if I can.”

That’s why I want to prevent Baek Sogo’s death. There is nothing particularly special about Lee Sung-min’s personality. Because it’s someone I know, and someone I don’t want to let die. So he just doesn’t want to die.

“You know you’re lucky.”

Scarlett took out a thick grimoire from inside the blanket. She grinned as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

“I’m lucky because I’m traveling with you. know? “If it weren’t for me, you would have died when ‘the’ monster attacked.”

“That thing… “I feel grateful.”

“Thinking alone is not enough.”

Scarlett opened the grimoire as she said that.

“If you get a chance in the future, pay that debt back. Because I saved your life once. “You also have to save my life later.”

“All right.”

Seongmin Lee answered with a smile, but he didn’t really pay much attention to it. There is no danger to Scarlett for at least the next ten years. Soon, Scarlett will complete the magic of the Lethir school and become an archmage, becoming a red magic tower lord. In other words, the ‘luck’ that has allowed Scarlett to survive so far will continue to work in the same way in the future.

But Lee Seong-min is different.

‘I’ve been lucky so far too.’

But what about in the future?

Bredon had many Buddhist statues.

Shaolin, one of the nine factions, is particularly powerful among the ten factions that symbolize political factions. It is often said that Taesan is the Bukdu of the righteous sect, and among them, Taesan refers to Shaolin and Bukdu refers to a shaman.

It was a fact shared by martial arts in most dimensions. Bredon was a city in Eria, but like other cities in which the Old File Room was located, its atmosphere was completely different from Zenavis, Behenger, and other cities that Lee Seong-min and Scarlett had passed through so far. There was a Buddha statue standing at the entrance, and the smell of incense was mixed in the air.

“This is my first time coming to Bredon.”

In large cities such as Bredon, identification was required before entry. There are a lot of otherworlders in Zenavis and the adjacent Behenger, but not in a city like Bredon. Those kind of people die before they even reach Bredon.

“S-class mercenary… Behenger. “You came from far away.”

The uniforms of the guards guarding the castle gate were different from other cities. They were wearing military uniforms, not armor. Scarlett looked inside the gate, her eyes sparkling. I saw oriental-style buildings lined up in a row.

“It is said that the first Shaolin headquarters came to Bredon hundreds of years ago. Isn’t it amazing? “Already hundreds of years ago, aliens were being summoned to this world.”

There was no great difficulty in passing through the gate. Lee Seong-min’s identity was proven as a mercenary, and the same was true for Scarlett, a member of the wizard’s guild.

“When Master Mugak, a god and Buddha who was summoned hundreds of years ago, arrived in Bredon, he named the nameless mountain near Bredon ‘Sungsan.’ It seems that in most of the Central Plains, there was a Shaolin on a mountain called Seongsan. Well, what they knew of Seongsan was different.”

Scarlett, who was walking down the street, raised her hand. Beyond the western gate of Bredon was a small mountain. That mountain was Eria’s ‘Sungsan’, named by Master Shinbul Mugak, where the Shaolin headquarters in Bredon is located.

“Although aliens have been summoned hundreds of years ago, it is still not known what they were summoned to this world for. Among magicians, there are also lunatics who believe that the reason for summoning otherworlders is connected to ‘truth’. Quite a few schools of thought have studied the reason, but no one has figured out why. “I wonder if there is anyone who can answer this question in the first place.”

“uh… hmm. “Wouldn’t God know?”

“god? Ahaha! I asked Mush, and he said he didn’t know. Well, I don’t think there’s any special reason for an otherworldly person to be summoned. This world is just ‘that’ world. “It’s a world that just summons unlucky guys from all over the world for no particular reason.”

Scarlett said with a big smile.

“ah. Would it be too hasty to say that you are unconditionally unlucky? Someone might have been lucky to be summoned to this world. “In my case, it’s half and half.”

Scarlett looked back at Lee Sung-min as she said that. She rolled her eyes and smiled like a mischievous child.

“You’re not going to Shaolin right away, are you? So, yeah. “We’ve already arrived at our destination, so let’s do some sightseeing.”

It wasn’t even a subtle invitation. Lee Seong-min smiled and nodded his head at the open invitation.

“All right.”

Lee Seong-min was also quite interested in the city of Bredon.
