I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 240

‘When we fought before, there was definitely a reason why I couldn’t win. How did such a monstrous Awakened suddenly appear like a comet?’

As the battle continued, Jang Dong-shik’s face was filled with nothing but surprise and astonishment.

The talent and combat power of Shin-hwa, as known to the world, felt like less than 10% of what he was seeing now.

That’s because the most recent battle video was the one he fought against Shin Jung-ah.

Shin-hwa’s combat power has improved so much since then that it can’t even be compared, and his talents have become much more diverse.

In particular, the way he neutralized Libe’s space manipulation talent, which he created in all directions, was a masterpiece.

It was Libe’s specialty talent, but it no longer seemed to be a threat to Shin-hwa.

“Ugh! Keuh-heuk!”

Libe was being beaten unilaterally.

He even resorted to necromancy [raising the dead], but Shin-hwa didn’t even pay attention to those clones.

It was like, I only hit one guy!

He stubbornly stuck to Libe and persistently harassed him.

In fact, the smartest option was that if the clones attacked Shin-hwa, the mother body with Shin-hwa could be in danger.

In addition, Libe’s reaction was constantly slow because he had not completely recovered from the poisoned state, which also played a part.

‘To overwhelm an EX-rank [extremely high-level Awakened] with an SS-rank [high-level Awakened] without being intimidated….’

Of course, rank is not absolute. It symbolizes the superiority of magic power and talent, but variables always exist.

However, there were so few EX-rankers that it was hard to find even ten when looking at all the Awakened on Earth.

Fortunately, Jang Dong-shik was able to endure because Libe’s talent was not an extreme attack style.

However, the Wailing Wall and space manipulation talent were so destructive that they could be called complete.

So, Jang Dong-shik thought that Shin-hwa would at least have a fifty-fifty fight, but there was a 0% chance that he would be superior.

So, while Shin-hwa was having a great battle, Jang Dong-shik opened and closed his smartphone several times.

In case of an emergency, it was to report to the nearby KSA [Korean Special Ability association] branch and ask for help.

But the reason he didn’t was because he thought Shin-hwa might be able to catch Libe.

If outside forces intervened, Libe would run away without hesitation.

Or, numerous KSA agents dispatched to the scene could be sacrificed on a large scale in vain.

‘If Kang Shin-hwa catches or kills Libe….’

Just imagining it made his body tremble.

Awe.

It was fear of the tremendous power and ability that Shin-hwa had shown.

With his current combat power, he could kill any number of other apostles.

He could easily realize that he was now a mayfly.

“Keu-gu-gu-gu. Keu-gu-gu-gu.”

Perhaps because the mother body, Libe, was being beaten by Shin-hwa, the movements of the resurrected clones were slow.

“At this point, you’re just toys.”

Even while injured, Jang Dong-shik led his injured body and killed the clones to help Shin-hwa.

Fortunately, Libe didn’t have time to pay attention to this, and the clones died from Jang Dong-shik’s steadfast attacks.

Right then.

“Shit… Aaaaaaagh!”

Libe’s voice, screaming with a long curse that had become half voluntary and half involuntary, echoed loudly.

The curse, filled with despair, fear, and humiliation, was a clear expression of Libe’s emotions.

Thwack! Thwack!

“Crazy….”

Soon, what came into Jang Dong-shik’s view was Libe, grabbed by Shin-hwa’s hand and slammed into the ground.

Like taking out a blanket on a sunny day and diligently dusting it off.

Or like when children gather to play ttakji [a Korean slapping game using folded paper tiles] and slam the king ttakji coolly on the ground!

Libe’s two legs were tightly held in Shin-hwa’s hands, and he was helplessly colliding head-on with the ground.

His concentration was broken because several effective hits had already been made, and the Wailing Wall was neutralized.

“Die, you bastard…!”

Even in the midst of that, Libe somehow waved his hand and deployed space distortion aimed at Shin-hwa.

“Hmph.”

Shin-hwa smiled and lightly avoided the distortion by throwing Libe high into the sky.

And just like catching a baton that had been thrown into the air during a baton twirling performance, he easily grabbed Libe and beat him again.

“Hey, you son of a bitch…! A little…!”

Libe screamed desperately, as if spewing out resentment beyond screaming.

It wasn’t so much a plea to be saved as it was a cry of criticism about how one could beat someone so brutally, even if they were beating someone up.

“Damn it!”

Did he finally think there was no other choice?

Boom boom boom!

An explosion occurred in the middle of Shin-hwa and Libe, who were entangled together. It was a space explosion.

“Keuh!”

Shin-hwa groaned and took a few steps back. His body, caught in the explosion, was truly tattered.

“Cough! Cough!”

It was only natural that Libe’s condition, who had induced the explosion while being beaten black and blue, was even more serious.

It was so badly dangling that it was doubtful whether his left arm was still attached.

His hair, which had been beautifully scattered with golden hair, was now just rough hair with a bird’s nest, covered in blood.

It was truly a ‘complete disgrace’.

“Kuaaaaa!”

Libe, the leader of the Revengers, began to run away, making his luxurious modifiers such as EX-rank meaningless.

It was an unavoidable choice because he didn’t want to die here, even though he knew it was very humiliating.

“Fast.”

Jang Dong-shik admired Shin-hwa, who was chasing Libe, who was quickly moving away, at an even greater speed.

Before he knew it, the backs of Libe and Shin-hwa had become a single dot and disappeared into the distance.

“If Kang Shin-hwa wins….”

In fact, it seemed like Shin-hwa had complete dominance, but Jang Dong-shik was still uneasy.

But if Shin-hwa wins and resolves this situation and brings it to an end!

“I will be eternally grateful. Sohee’s benefactor, and my benefactor….”

He felt like he would owe Shin-hwa a debt that he could never repay, even if he thanked him for the rest of his life.

Shin-hwa, who had rushed to him with the determination to give up his life for him.

The emotion Jang Dong-shik felt for him was more than just simple emotion, it was something that made his heart burn.

“Please.”

Jang Dong-shik prayed earnestly to the sky.

He asked that even the smallest, most trivial variable would never happen to Shin-hwa.

Right then.

“Aaaaaaa…!”

Along with a cry that was confusing whether it was a scream or a shriek.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The figures of Shin-hwa and Libe, who seemed to be endlessly moving away, repeated blinking and appeared in front of Jang Dong-shik.

It was Shin-hwa’s artifact utilization that neutralized the desperate ‘escape’ using the Blink Ring.

And.

“It’s over, Libe!”

In the very center of the field of vision that Jang Dong-shik could see clearly and surely with both eyes.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Shin-hwa grabbed Libe’s head, which was almost tattered, and began to smash his face against the rock.

“….”

Jang Dong-shik felt it again.

What happens to the miserable end of those who turn Shin-hwa into an enemy.

Just a few tens of minutes ago, Libe was a murderer who had appeared triumphantly with his henchmen.

But now, he was becoming a horribly crushed lump of flesh that couldn’t even be recognized in his original form.

Libe’s wide-open eyes were staring at Jang Dong-shik with force, but regardless of that, his body was drooping.

Jang Dong-shik felt an indescribable joy in the sight of Libe gradually dying.

It was the moment to end the evil relationship with Libe, who killed his innocent wife and created a hellish life.

“Geez, he’s holding out for a long time!”

Bang! Bang! Baaaaaang!

Shin-hwa, seeing Libe’s unclosed eyes, put more strength into the arm holding his head.

Then, Libe radiated light again and began to show signs of going berserk once more.

“Goodbye.”

Shin-hwa was not flustered.

He gave Libe a deep back hug as if saying goodbye to a lover.

Srrrruk!

Soon, the special suit that naturally stuck to Libe’s body turned red and began to prepare for an explosion.

“Keu-oh-oh-oh-oh!”

“You’re finished.”

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion occurred, making Libe’s roar meaningless, and Libe’s body exploded entirely.

It was a perfect instant death and a certain death without a doubt.

Because there would not be a single Awakened in the entire world who could survive even after their body was shattered into pieces.

[Bracelet of Circulation]

[Judgment Grade: S]

[Perfectly returns 25% of the magic power used when using talent.

Talents that utilize 100% of magic power are also subject to ‘circulation,’ but require 1 minute for reuse.]

[Lanshu Gauntlet]

[Judgment Grade: S]

[Magic power can be condensed without limit on the front of the gauntlet.

However, only magic power derived from the body linked to the gauntlet can be condensed.

In addition, the condensed magic power can be divided into as many branches as the user wants to launch multiple attacks.]

“It’s also a talent to have such valuable artifacts and not use them properly, turning them into trash.”

I checked the artifacts that I barely found rummaging through the traces left by Libe’s corpse.

In addition to these, I also picked up necklaces and rings, but I set them aside because they were artifacts related to enhancing concentration.

I was thinking of ‘lending’ these to my colleagues, or selling them on the open market if I ran out of money depending on the situation.

The Bracelet of Circulation looked quite good at a glance.

Even when using talents that consume the entire amount of magic power, like Gwaedangquan [a powerful martial art technique], 25% of the magic power is immediately recovered, although there is a 1-minute cooldown.

If it is not a talent that consumes the entire amount, 25% is unconditionally returned, which is especially advantageous in long-term battles.

No wonder Libe’s talent and magic power seemed to be springing up endlessly like a well throughout the battle, there was a reason for it.

“Keuh, it hurts like hell.”

I got excited about the artifacts and came back to my senses for a moment.

I frowned at the pain that was rising from my toes and eventually collapsed in place.

I managed to push Libe to the brink and barely win in the end, but the process was by no means smooth.

Whether it’s because of this damn activeness, my whole body was stained with wounds and fatigue.

If anyone saw me, they would see me in a very serious condition, as if my whole body had been beaten black and blue.

It was true that it was a really serious level if I couldn’t stand the pain and my legs gave way with a groan.

Still, I was happy.

Just the fact that I won against an EX-rank Awakened made my heart race.

Of course, Libe had many shortcomings to be called an EX-rank Awakened.

First of all, his talent was not specialized in offensive parts, so he was no match for me, who had an extreme offensive tendency.

If it had been Elijah, things would have been different. Judging from my past life experiences and memories, he is an attacker who is as reckless as I am.

The concept of the explosion that Elijah causes was worlds apart from the ‘small’ explosion that Libe caused.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I saw Jang Dong-shik, who was sitting leaning against an old abandoned car about 40m away.

“I’m fine. This is something that will get better if I take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days and get some rest. Hehe.”

From Jang Dong-shik’s appearance, trying to smile leisurely.

Rather than the evil of an apostle, it seemed to show the relief of a daughter-fool father [a father who dotes on his daughter].

He also seemed to be in not so good condition because he was seriously injured in the previous battle.

Of course, he looked better than me.

Of course, he should!

Who do you think I came to save?
