I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 103

Clatter.

Shinwa, having leaped from the building, landed lightly right in front of the Yanghwa Guild executives.

“Wow…….”

“He jumped from there and his knees are still okay?”

“No way.”

It was a familiar sight to the executives, including Jin Bomi, but not to the guild members behind them.

Shinwa’s unscathed appearance after jumping from a height of nearly 30 meters was astonishing.

Seo Ye-hee pointed forward and asked,

“What happened?”

“We’ve secured the main route to the center. I thought there would be more enemies, but they ran away more than I expected.”

“There’s no one?”

“It’s not that there’s no one, but only the dregs are left. I don’t know if they were abandoned and ran away, or if it was a strategic move.”

In fact, Shinwa had roughly predicted this situation from the beginning.

That this kidnapping case was a kind of power struggle between the KSA [Korean Special Ability Association], the Black Cross, and Moonlight.

Although they made threats, if they really killed a branch manager-level executive, a large-scale all-out war would break out from that point on.

So he realized that they would be testing each other within the bounds of acceptable damage.

Perhaps if they had considered an all-out war, Lee Ha-sung would have stepped forward himself, and Joo Cheon-ho would have appeared from the Black Cross side.

‘Could it be that Joo Cheon-ho, that bastard… is using a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife?’

Shinwa’s thoughts branched out in a new direction.

It was due to the question of why there were so many Moonlight members at the scene compared to the Black Cross.

Even Jeong Man-chun, the 4th in command of the Black Cross, was nowhere to be seen.

The opponents Shinwa faced were most likely Moonlight members, and both of the executive-level individuals were also from Moonlight.

The Black Cross and Moonlight are called brother organizations, but from the beginning, there was no real blood bond between them.

If so, Joo Cheon-ho, who wanted to increase the power of his organization, might have pretended to ally with Moonlight and then abandoned them.

If Park Hyung-san and Jeilgeon were killed by someone’s hand, it would be possible to take over the organization that lost its leader with his own power.

‘Okay. It’s a complicated problem to think about. Nothing will change anyway.’

Shinwa shook his head, shaking off the thoughts that were becoming complicated.

Jeong-hoon asked.

“Wasn’t the road here dangerous? The western route is known to be the most dangerous.”

“There were some big and small battles. But anyway, I’m here, so it’s okay, right?”

“It seems like there weren’t many who stopped you. That’s a relief.”

Jeong-hoon nodded, assuming that there hadn’t been any major incidents.

Then Shinwa smirked and snapped his fingers.

Soon, the subspace spat out two cold corpses in front of the executives, as Shinwa commanded.

“Wait a minute! This person, huh! Isn’t that Jeilgeon, the second-in-command of Moonlight?”

The first to recognize the identity of one of the corpses was Jin Bomi.

Jeilgeon, famous for handling magic bullet guns with ease, was a well-known villain to the outside world.

His rank was S+.

It was Shinwa’s skill to cross the rank standards as if mocking them, but it was such an amazing result.

“More than that, this person is even more…….”

However, what shocked all the guild members, including the executives of the Yanghwa Guild, was the corpse next to Jeilgeon.

Jin Bomi asked in surprise.

“No way! You really caught Park Hyung-san?”

“To be exact, I didn’t catch him, I killed him. I helped him achieve enlightenment so he could go to paradise.”

While the shocked executives couldn’t continue speaking and were gaping.

The guild members watching from behind trembled and looked back and forth between the corpses.

Without a doubt, the 1st and 2nd in command of Moonlight were lying dead side by side. Moreover, their bodies were tattered.

On the other hand, Shinwa had scratches here and there, and his suit was dented or torn.

But his overall condition was fine.

Except for occasionally taking deep breaths as if sighing.

“Wow, crazy, crazy…….”

“He really lives up to his name.”

“I can’t believe I’d see Park Hyung-san and Jeilgeon beaten by one person before I die.”

“Well, I was a little lucky.”

Shinwa joked.

Seo Ye-hee’s reaction was different.

“Shinwa, you can’t catch such big shots just because you were lucky. Honestly, I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”

“The ownership of the spoils is mine, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then this is definitely mine, right?”

Shinwa showed everyone Jeilgeon’s MZ-20 and Park Hyung-san’s Blink Ring in turn.

Half of it was boasting, and half of it was evidence to firmly imprint their deaths.

In other words, it was an expression of his intention that the two most difficult enemies were dead, so they could focus on the attack with peace of mind.

Jin Bomi looked back and forth between the two, clicking her tongue and saying.

“Shinwa, do you know what kind of people Park Hyung-san and Jeilgeon were?”

“Aren’t they sons of bitches?”

“Hehe.”

Seo Ye-hee, who rarely laughed, burst out laughing at Shinwa’s simple and clear answer.

This was also part of Shinwa’s charm. Directness and straightforwardness that doesn’t beat around the bush and accurately penetrates only the essence.

“Ah, that’s right too, but anyway, those two are guys that the KSA has wanted to catch but couldn’t!”

“Well, they stayed put in the Black Zone and didn’t come out.”

“That’s right. They took advantage of their home turf to move around like ghosts! They’ve eliminated special elite agents sent by the KSA several times.”

“I see.”

“Even the headquarters director and the Seoul branch director stepped up once and suffered a setback.”

“It seems like I did my job better than those people?”

“It’s not just doing your job! This will be huge news!”

Jin Bomi was much more excited than Shinwa, who was the person involved.

It was her natural heart to take care of and think about Shinwa’s affairs more than her own.

Shinwa scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression and changed the subject.

“Okay, that’s enough praise for now. There’s one thing I want to do next, and it would be great if the executives could cooperate.”

“What is it?”

“What is it?”

When Seo Ye-hee and Yoon Tae-ho asked in turn, Shinwa succinctly stated the purpose of the next plan.

“Hostage rescue.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to obtaining Park Hyung-san’s Blink Ring, I can move the group to some extent.”

Seo Ye-hee asked back.

“We’re still approaching cautiously from the outside, is it okay?”

Then Shinwa pointed straight behind him instead of answering.

The sandstorm blew again and it became invisible, but it was the scene that had been full of scattered members until just now.

“Ah…….”

“The main roads are all cleared. We can use the Blink Ring to get through the tricky sections.”

“I really can’t believe it. You can come and go in the Black Zone, where it’s difficult to secure visibility, as freely as if it were your own home.”

“If you have good eyes, anything is possible.”

Shinwa answered with a smile.

It was an advantage of his altered eyes.

Park Hyung-san and Jeilgeon, who unfortunately did not realize the specialness of Shinwa’s two eyes.

By the time they finally realized Shinwa’s specialness, they had already met their deaths. It was a belated realization.

“Okay. All executives will follow Shinwa, and the rest will approach sequentially as planned. Team leader Jeong?”

“Yes, Master.”

“As planned at the beginning, approach step by step according to the map without rushing. Don’t overdo it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Shinwa, let’s go.”

He handed over the command to team leader Jeong Yoon-jong and quickly finished preparing. And immediately started moving.

* * *

I guided the group along a route that crossed between buildings rather than the ground, which was more likely to be exposed to the enemy.

The central downtown area here was made up of closely packed buildings, both large and small, so it was possible to cross with just the right amount of jumping.

But Jin Bomi was an exception.

Compared to her skill in wielding high-level sorcery, her strength and agility were generally much lower.

Perhaps it was because she had devoted herself only to controlling her sorcery in order to increase her firepower, neglecting other things.

So I had no choice but to hold Jin Bomi in my arms and use the jumping ability of my legs to leap over.

Utilizing the options of the Blink Ring was inefficient because there were many places where I had to stop frequently in between.

Thanks to this, I kept making eye contact with Jin Bomi, who was in my arms and tightly hugging my neck with both hands.

She carefully continued to speak, perhaps embarrassed that I was silently watching the front and sides.

“I’m sorry. I’m weak in rapid maneuvering. I’ve been pointed out a lot since before, but it hasn’t improved.”

“It’s also a characteristic of people who like exciting battles. Going all-in on firepower. It feels good, right?”

“It’s hard to catch two rabbits [achieve two things at once]. In that sense, I’m really envious of Shinwa. You have fast mobility and at the same time, you have crazy firepower, right?”

“Instead, I lack a lot of precision. There are many parts where I make up for any dangerous elements with my body.”

“Well, I think it’s precise to calculate that you can make up for it with your body.”

“Haha, you’re probably the only one who turns a disadvantage into an advantage and praises me, Bomi.”

“Anyway, I’m always indebted to you.”

“No, the Yanghwa Guild and the KSA set the stage. They kept their eyes on other routes, so I was able to move more actively.”

That wasn’t wrong.

I would never have gone into the Black Zone alone if I had been told to. I’m not that reckless.

But right then.

“Wait!”

I stopped everyone when I found something in the hazy sand dust.

If I hadn’t been focused on the situation, I would have taken a few more steps.

But since they would jump up even in their sleep if it was my word, they stopped immediately without moving a single step.

I pointed to an object that revealed a faint light in the middle of the path we were trying to move along.

“There’s a trap.”

“Where is it?”

Even though I specified the direction with my finger, Jin Bomi couldn’t recognize it.

That was no exception for Seo Ye-hee, Yoon Tae-ho, and Jeong-hoon.

“Here. There are two lines connected all the way. Tightly. And the front is very sharp.”

“I don’t see it at all.”

Even Seo Ye-hee, who had a good eye among the executives – good eyesight – shook her head.

The two lines that were so clearly visible to my eyes seemed to be completely invisible to them.

Seeing is believing.

I took out one of the Touger corpses I had obtained from the Guam dungeon attack last time from the subspace.

And threw it forward with all my might.

Saaak!

The Touger’s corpse caught in the two lines was neatly cut into three pieces.

The neatly cut pieces, as if cut by a cutting machine, fell down the building in droves.

“It was a space where I couldn’t see anything but sand dust no matter how hard I looked.”

“Shinwa’s eyes can see these lines right now, right?”

Seo Ye-hee and Jin Bomi pointed alternately to the sharp thread with traces of Touger’s flesh.

“Yes, I can see it well. So traps, concealment, and cover in the Black Zone are not a big threat to me.”

I nodded with a smile.

I thought these were the perks of a regressor.

Thanks to altering my eyes, even dangers that could lead to death for others were all visible to me.

From the beginning, I knew that those guys liked to use these traps.

This is also an advantage of a regressor who knows all the knowledge.

‘My life so far has been perfect. Without any shortcomings or problems.’

I evaluated myself that way.

There is a long way to go.

Looking back slightly.

It was clear that I had been walking vigorously at high speed on a smooth road.
