I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 224

224

-Cough! Cough! Cough…….

I triumphantly succeeded in a bizarre attack, becoming a living human drill that pierced through from the crown of his head.

It wasn’t an achievement I made alone.

Jin Bomi’s coordination with the Distortion Ring was truly fantastic, and the priest’s stacking defense debuffs were also excellent.

In the midst of that, I made up my mind and pierced through with my sword, so even Zenos couldn’t withstand it any longer.

There’s a common misconception among Awakened Ones.

When attacking boss monsters.

They think that you should never overdo it, minimize risk factors, and gradually reduce health.

That’s half right, but half wrong.

If the boss monster has strong health but lacks agility and responsiveness, a straightforward approach can work well.

However, if the monster is good at creating variables, learning on its own, and compensating for weaknesses, the story changes.

That’s because it ‘modifies’ itself, learning and reducing risk factors as the battle gets longer, while maximizing its strengths.

I judged that Zenos was closer to the latter.

That’s why I devised this trick.

Of course, it could have failed.

If Zenos had anticipated the approach route, I could have been caught and seriously injured instead.

That’s because his six arms are by no means negligible weapons.

No matter how much I’m wearing a Special Suit, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes rags.

However, I took that risk into consideration and thought there was a chance of winning, so I made a gamble.

The result was a great success.

Zenos, whose entire brain was completely torn apart starting from the crown of his head, only groaned a few times and then died.

The tears flowing from his overturned eyes only made his end more pitiful.

“Hoo, haaa.”

Thump! Thud!

My companions, who were more focused on the battle than I was, collapsed on the dirt floor as if they had agreed to it.

Everyone looked unwell, perhaps because they had been extremely focused in a short period of time.

It wasn’t a matter of physical strength.

In the extreme tension of not knowing when you might die from a boss monster’s attack, your mind gets tired quickly.

The expression ‘mental strength is consumed’ is often used to describe this situation.

Once the situation is resolved, the tension throughout the body is released and you become limp.

It’s like a so-called ‘현자 타임 [hyeonja taim, post-nut clarity]’ has come. This is a phenomenon that not only my companions experience, but I also experience the same.

While my companions rested.

“Give it to me, Flower of Transcendence.”

I grabbed Zenos, who was coldly cooling down, by the collar and urged him like a desert traveler craving an oasis.

Of course, the dead have no words.

Right then.

“Oh…….”

A flower suddenly sprouted from near the heart of the dead Zenos.

It looked exactly like the Flower of Transcendence I had eaten before.

Without thinking deeply, I immediately threw the flower into my mouth.

I was fully recognized as having the ownership of all the flowers that come out during dungeon raids.

So I didn’t need to be conscious of my companions, nor did I need to feel guilty while eating.

Chew, chew. Yum, yum.

The Flower of Transcendence melted in my mouth like a chocolate with a sweet, sweet taste.

The Flower of Transcendence I ate before had a sour lemon taste, but this one tasted different again.

Eating flowers is always thrilling and pleasant.

Because it grants abilities that are completely different from other Awakened Ones.

In the first place, even an ordinary person becoming an Awakened One requires receiving a 1% selection like a needle hole.

The probability of those Awakened Ones eating even one flower in their lifetime converges to a whopping 0.01%.

If we assume that the total population of Korea is 50 million, there are only about 500,000 Awakened Ones.

Only 50 of them taste the flower. The problem is that not all of the flowers acquired by the 50 people are useful.

It’s an unfortunate story, but there are also things like the ‘Flower of Digestion’.

What kind of talent does it give you?

It gives you the talent of easy bowel movements.

It’s a flower that allows you to have a strong colon without ever getting constipated in your life.

Because there are also flowers close to this kind of ‘꽝 [gwang, dud]’, the value of the Flower of Transcendence can be felt very greatly.

Gulp-.

The moment the Flower of Transcendence, which had completely melted, passed through the esophagus and into the stomach.

“Ah……!”

Feeling the intense pleasure and joy felt throughout my body, I unknowingly turned my eyes over.

It was a physical reaction that was triggered with an irresistible force when I felt an orgasm.

“It’s coming.”

I tried to express my feelings as plainly as possible, but my whole body was already starting to tremble.

This was because the energy of the two Flowers of Transcendence that had been latent in my body combined, causing a chain reaction.

Already in my head, that is, in my brain, a fierce change was taking place as if fireworks were constantly exploding.

I hadn’t been told or heard anything, but I instinctively felt that now was the ‘timing’.

I entered brain alteration.

In any case, if you eat the Flower of Transcendence, the probability of success in brain alteration is 100%.

Of course, the 100% probability of success does not mean that brain activation is maximized.

In other words, while carefully handling magic.

You really have to approach it with the concept of pushing the energy of awakening acquired through alteration into every brain wrinkle.

I had already indirectly hinted to the team members about brain alteration.

As long as I don’t leave my seat, they won’t disturb or confuse my concentration from the side.

Concentration, concentration, and more concentration.

Because an alteration is taking place that is much more important than all the alterations that have happened to my body so far.

I didn’t pay attention to anything else for even a moment and focused only on brain alteration.

“Ah…….”

I felt a tingling sensation throughout my brain, and an unbearable pleasure rushed in.

It was so intense that it made my body flinch, but I paradoxically ignored that pleasure.

It’s a trap signal.

If you get drunk on this pleasure and immerse yourself in the pleasure itself, you will lose focus on the alteration for that time.

This is why brain alteration was a very difficult task for me in my past life as well.

Nicholas assisted me dozens of times from the side, and I even almost became an idiot after falling into danger while doing it. There were many close calls.

“…….”

After a storm of pleasure swept through, I grabbed hold of the silence that came right after with all my might.

“Kuh.”

Then, this time, a new change occurred along with pain that was about five times the intensity of a normal migraine.

It was an experience where numerous memories encompassing both my past and present lives flashed by like a panorama.

Vivid scenes.

What pulled me right there was the appearance of my parents, whom I had to say goodbye to during the Great Cataclysm in 2010.

‘When I retire, let’s enshrine my parents’ ashes in the island together. It’s belated filial piety, but…….’

I clarified the thought that suddenly came to mind.

Past memories continued to flash by. It was as if my brain was pointing out things that I should never forget again.

In particular, the final 모습 [moseup, moments] of Han So-joon and the priest also came to mind.

Both were companions who met their fate in front of me, so they were memories I didn’t want to recall, but.

It was as if the brain was reminding me once again not to repeat the same mistakes and tragedies.

‘In my past life, I ate the Flower of Transcendence for the first time in 2029, and it took more than 10 years to finally succeed in brain alteration, but in this life, it’s a 2-month cut.’

I felt satisfied with the rapid change that was incomparable to my past life.

Soon, only a clear energy that popped remained in the place where the rushing memories had swept through.

‘This is it!’

Recognizing that this was a special energy created by alteration, I consciously tried to contain it in my head.

The alteration of the brain was still in progress at this moment.

Perhaps because I didn’t react to the rapid changes or shocks that occurred to me during the alteration process.

My head was filled with a refreshing feeling and a lightness that made me feel like I could fly into the sky right away.

Every part of the brain showed off its presence as if each cell was bursting.

I could feel it.

The brain, which had been suffering until now, had undergone a metamorphosis and was completely reborn in a new form.

The next moment.

Numerous cumulus clouds adorning the sky here and there.

And countless fallen leaves scattered in the wind.

Everything came into my sight perfectly. It was absolute concentration without missing a single thing.

I was clearly seeing many things at the same time, but I didn’t miss any movement.

The movement paths of the clouds and numerous fallen leaves were clearly visible without anyone having to say or calculate them.

Multiple calculations began to take place. Even if I didn’t try to suffer, it was predicted just by looking at it.

Even the changes that the wind that brushed past would make to the fallen leaves visible in my sight were predicted.

As expected, the reality before my eyes flowed without variables as calculated.

“I’ve seen… the end of alteration.”

My heart was pounding.

The brain alteration, which was like the final boss of alteration, was definitely over.

Now that I have become capable of multiple calculations that transcend the limits of humans, I have tremendous destructive power.

In the first place, the expectations were even greater when I thought about the explosive power that would be linked to the senses that had been altered by alteration, such as sight, smell, and hearing.

The altered senses will quickly collect information, and the altered brain will process it at ultra-high speed.

I looked at my team members.

Just by looking at them, the distance to them was immediately estimated.

In addition, it was calculated how much time it would take to reach them when I approached using Transcendental Acceleration.

It’s not that someone directly calculates and tells you, but it’s predicted ‘naturally’ just by looking at it.

As I thought before entering this dungeon, I had become a living human supercomputer. Should I say a robot?

‘The alteration of the body is over.’

I could say with certainty.

It was a declaration that I could make more confidently because I was the person who had seen the end of alteration in my past life.

Looking back, my heart at that time was not like it is now.

Now I was very proud, happy, and satisfied with the sense of accomplishment that I had reached a perfect end, but.

I was very confused when I saw the end of alteration in my past life.

This appearance of mine felt like a monster that had been eroded by the talent of alteration rather than a pure human being.

It was hard to bear the parts where everything in the world looked like data to be calculated and interpreted.

It was around that time that I left Nine Roads for a while and lived alone in the countryside.

At that time, I was as scared as a child, and sometimes I felt disgusted with myself.

But not now.

Rather, I was proud of my appearance, which had been reborn as a complete being.

‘레체로 [Rechero, possibly a transliteration of ‘wretch’]? Apostles? Now, come at me all of you. Let’s see how long you can last against me, who has become complete.’

Confidence was also full.

“Hoo!”

I got up from my seat.

The Dimensional Stone obtained from Zenos is now a matter of gradually distributing it.

The business in this dungeon is over.

All that remains is to go outside and go on a dungeon tour that will help improve the magic power of me and my team members.

“Okay, everyone, let’s wrap things up!”

I called my team members.

It was time to leave the dungeon with a light heart.

With this, the reason why the relationship with Elijah was necessary for me has also completely disappeared.

His value is over.

Now it’s just useless chaff.
