The Regressor Only Protects Me [EN]: Chapter 109

109. Jung Hyun-soo (3)

The dark night sky flickered for a moment before lightning struck.

At the same time, a rainstorm raged.

Originally, all natural phenomena have precursors.

But the downpour now had no warning signs at all.

Lightning continued to strike Bisan-dong, and soon it was aimed at Dongan-gu again.

If it had happened once or twice, I would have thought it was a natural phenomenon, but the lightning before my eyes was anything but natural.

After confirming the lightning shot from Bisan-dong to Dongan-gu, Zion judged that it was definitely the work of a player [a person with supernatural abilities in this world].

Zion was riding on the back of the Giant Ogre, watching it.

Then he glanced back at Choi Myung-joon.

“A player?”

“There weren’t any when I was around.”

Choi Myung-joon shook his head.

‘Shooting lightning at Dongan-gu? Then are they an ally?’

Recently, players from outside Anyang City occasionally entered the city.

Some caused trouble, and others quietly stayed and left.

Of course, most players didn’t want to belong to a force, so there was little friction with the lord.

Zion knew everything that was happening in the area.

Some he heard through Choi Hyun-ji, and some he found out by dispatching agents.

For the past year, Zion had been secretly sending agents to Uiwang to continue searching for his younger sibling.

Even so, he had never heard of a player who could shoot lightning like that in such a short time.

‘……Anyway.’

If they pour out all their abilities in such a short time, the player will surely run out of energy and collapse.

That’s why players had to know how to use their abilities appropriately only when necessary.

But that player was shooting lightning indiscriminately at Dongan-gu, not even aiming properly.

It’s clear they’re a novice.

Not a player who went through Mangyeong.

Then who is it?

What’s certain is that I’ll find out when I get to Bisan-dong.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

The ogre carrying the lord quickly ran towards Bisan-dong.

* * *

A boy’s cry echoed in the sky above Bisan-dong Pamian Apartment.

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”

Kugwang-! Kwajijijijijik!

Long and short lightning struck the complex.

It was caused by the boy’s overflowing anger, unable to control his power.

Hyun-soo’s attacks continued.

He shot lightning at the dark Dongan-gu, shot and shot and shot again.

Mangyeong’s soldiers, looking up at Jung Hyun-soo, shouted.

“Hyun-soo……!!!”

“Jung Hyun-soo!!! Calm down!!!”

“Team Leader of Building 206!!!”

But there was no way anyone’s words could reach the enraged Jung Hyun-soo.

The team leader of Building 205, realizing the seriousness of the situation, shouted.

“Tell everyone outside to evacuate inside! Without exception!”

“Yes! Understood.”

The soldiers who received the team leader’s order ran into the stairwell one by one.

The team leader of Building 205 looked up at Jung Hyun-soo, who had risen into the sky again.

Watching the lightning he continued to shoot, the team leader of Building 205 swallowed hard.

There was no one who could stop Jung Hyun-soo now.

And the team leader witnessed it.

Thud-.

“……Ah.”

A black, burnt hand was placed on the outer railing of the apartment rooftop.

The black hand gradually climbed over the railing and onto the rooftop.

It was the player from Dongan, who they thought had fallen and died with Mr. Jung.

His neck was broken, his head completely tilted to the left, and he muttered.

“Ah…… I’m angry.”

Uduk-!

Then he straightened his neck and looked up at the sky.

The face of the player from Dongan was noticeably distorted.

“I’m going to kill you.”

Taat-!

The player jumped up like a frog and flew towards Hyun-soo in the air.

* * *

Jung Hyun-soo’s reason was consumed by his surging anger.

Having lost his reason, he even shot lightning at his own allies.

The player from Dongan flew towards Hyun-soo, and with a monster-like movement, grabbed Hyun-soo.

Thud-!

Then he flew with him towards the opposite street.

Whirik- Kwang!!!!

Jung Hyun-soo, who had plunged from the rooftop to the ground with him, let out a scream as if in great pain.

“Aaaagh!”

The player from Dongan, accustomed to pain, got up immediately.

And slowly walked towards Jung Hyun-soo.

There were plenty of Dongan warriors in this area.

They were hesitating and backing away.

“I…… told you to just die. Why don’t you listen? You little bastard…….”

Peok-!

The player immediately ran out and kicked Jung Hyun-soo in the chin, and Jung Hyun-soo flew backwards and fell.

“Why……. don’t you listen. Huh?”

The face of the player from Dongan, glaring at Jung Hyun-soo, was slowly recovering.

Muscles, skin, and internal organs were regenerating.

From his straight hair to his face, chest, thighs, pelvis, calves, and soles.

All of his damaged body parts were restored.

His clothes were not regenerated, but everything else about her was back to normal.

As Jung Hyun-soo was in pain, the player from Dongan slowly approached the Dongan supply cart that had been left on the side of the street.

In the supply cart was a plastic container filled with oil.

“You kind of bastard. I hate you the most. Those cunning bastards who act like you’re something special. I hated those guys the most.”

Kkirikkkirik-.

She turned the lid of the oil container. Then she poured the oil container over her crown.

As if pouring bathwater.

Now her whole body was covered in oil.

Her straight hair, which reached down to her waist, was shiny thanks to the oil.

The oil that flowed down between her buttocks, as well as her mouth, ran down her thighs and soaked her soles.

With every step she took, oil dripped from her body.

“The result is the same anyway. I’m going to die like this. Why are you making it so annoying?”

The player from Dongan took out a match and lit it.

Chik-.

The match flared up.

She muttered, looking at the match.

“Let’s just end this.”

Then she put the match in her mouth.

Like biting on a toothpick.

Then.

Hwareureureureureuk-!

Her whole body began to burn, and her skin, muscles, and hair began to melt again.

The player from Dongan, Kwon Jung-yeon.

She had resistance to fire, but she couldn’t spew fire and use it like a monster in a movie.

So she thought about how to attack.

The result is this. Setting her own body on fire to induce close combat.

Kwon Jung-yeon’s whole body began to burn again.

The time limit is about 30 minutes.

It was enough time to kill a 15-year-old boy.

A heavy rain was pouring down, but the flames on Kwon Jung-yeon’s body did not go out.

“…….”

Jung Hyun-soo slowly got up.

And glared at Kwon Jung-yeon.

Small sparks continued to fly from the boy’s hand.

Kwon Jung-yeon asked.

“Can you do it? Can you beat me? If you can’t, don’t waste your energy.”

“……I can kill you.”

“Really? You? Me?”

“……I can kill you.”

“Let’s think about it. If you’re strong enough for me to lose, I’ll admit defeat here and commit suicide so I don’t waste time.”

“……I’m going to kill you.”

Kwon Jung-yeon put her hand on her chin and pondered.

With her hand on her lower jaw, where only bones remained.

Then she came to a conclusion.

“Impossible…… I think?”

“I’m going to kill you.”

“You’re annoying again. Like father, like son?”

Jung Hyun-soo didn’t answer.

Then Kwon Jung-yeon frowned.

“I…… I don’t like people who don’t answer……. Are you deaf!”

Taat-!!!!!!

Kwon Jung-yeon, having finished speaking, ran straight at Jung Hyun-soo.

Her burning fist struck Jung Hyun-soo’s right cheek.

Peok-! Kudadadadang! Kwang!

Jung Hyun-soo rolled and flew away, crashing into the outer wall of the apartment building that had been captured by the warriors.

Then a huge hole was made, and the warriors inside ran out in surprise.

But Jung Hyun-soo was unfazed by Kwon Jung-yeon’s attack.

Jung Hyun-soo, stuck in the concrete, chuckled.

“Thanks for hitting me……. I feel refreshed thanks to you…….”

He carefully raised his upper body again. Then he jumped up and went deeper into the apartment.

It was an incomprehensible action.

To use lightning, he had to be outside.

Also, it was raining outside, which was an unfavorable environment for Kwon Jung-yeon.

Even so, Jung Hyun-soo went inside.

“Are we…… playing tag?”

Kwon Jung-yeon slowly walked towards where Jung Hyun-soo had entered, then ran.

Into the dark apartment.

* * *

Holding something, Jung Hyun-soo ran inside the apartment.

From the 101st staircase to the 2nd floor staircase.

When he arrived on the 2nd floor, he wandered around the entire 2nd floor and then moved to the 3rd floor again.

The Dongan warriors, who were avoiding lightning inside, were surprised and attacked Jung Hyun-soo.

But Jung Hyun-soo’s speed was overwhelming for ordinary people to handle.

Jung Hyun-soo quickly subdued them and then quickly ran around inside the apartment.

After that, Kwon Jung-yeon followed.

“Give up! Puahaha-!”

Her voice echoed.

Jung Hyun-soo continued to run away, even while bleeding.

Stairwell.

The bodies of Dongan warriors and Mangyeong soldiers were burned and turned into black ashes, and Jung Hyun-soo began to climb this abandoned place.

He went from the 3rd floor to the 16th floor, and then came down from the 16th floor to the 6th floor through the collapsed elevator.

Jung Hyun-soo’s actions seemed like he was really trying to play tag, as Kwon Jung-yeon said.

Jung Hyun-soo kept moving.

The Dongan warriors were aware that the two players were playing tag inside the apartment, but there was nothing they could do.

The players were so overwhelming that they couldn’t even touch them.

Jung Hyun-soo and Kwon Jung-yeon continued to circle inside the apartment.

Even so, Kwon Jung-yeon didn’t notice anything strange.

She just thought that Jung Hyun-soo was simply luring her.

Even if he lured her like that, there was no reason why Kwon Jung-yeon couldn’t beat Jung Hyun-soo, who had just become a player.

And there was a limit to the power of the player.

That limit would come quickly.

If the Mangyeong player died, the damage to Mangyeong would be great.

Kwon Jung-yeon was going to kill Jung Hyun-soo here, right here in Bisan-dong.

She quickly killed Jung Hyun-soo and thought she wanted to rest now.

Meanwhile, Jung Hyun-soo was pulling on a rope.

Kkuuuk!

The elevator passage from the 16th floor to the 17th floor.

The rope could no longer be pulled.

Hanging on the wall of the elevator passage, Jung Hyun-soo pulled ‘it’ with all his might once again.

Deudeudeudeudeuk!

But it was no use.

It was the limit now.

“Hoo…… Hoo…… Heueu.”

That was enough.

At that time.

Kwang-!

The elevator door on the 3rd floor was smashed, and Kwon Jung-yeon walked out from there.

The elevator had fallen to the 2nd basement floor, so this place was now a huge chimney-like empty space.

Kwon Jung-yeon only raised her head and looked up.

On the 16th floor, Jung Hyun-soo was barely hanging on the wall of the passage.

Kwon Jung-yeon smiled, looking at Hyun-soo.

“I found you. You little rat.”

Tung! Tung! Tung!

Kwon Jung-yeon began to climb the wall of the elevator passage.

And when she reached a certain height, Kwon Jung-yeon jumped straight away.

Tuung-!

She faced Jung Hyun-soo in the air again and grabbed his neck.

Kwang-!

Jung Hyun-soo, caught in Kwon Jung-yeon’s hand, groaned as if in pain.

Because his neck was burning from her touch.

Kwon Jung-yeon was supporting her body by making a hole in the wall with one arm, and Jung Hyun-soo was gasping for breath, held by Kwon Jung-yeon’s arm.

The two were now hanging on the edge of a cliff, glaring at each other as if to kill each other.

Kwon Jung-yeon chuckled.

“Look. I told you it was impossible, right? That it was a waste of time.”

At that time, Jung Hyun-soo also smiled at her.

Then he raised his right hand.

In Hyun-soo’s hand was an electric wire.

Kwon Jung-yeon’s expression instantly distorted as she looked at the electric wire.

“…….”

Kwon Jung-yeon thought for a moment.

Why is there an electric wire here?

Since when has he been holding it?

Jung Hyun-soo and Kwon Jung-yeon.

The two faces were quite close, and both were breathing heavily.

Jung Hyun-soo lowered his head slightly, then raised his head and glared at Kwon Jung-yeon.

He said, gasping for breath.

“In the apartment…… according to the lord’s orders…… I used electric wires from all over the city.”

“What?”

“……I’m saying that electric wires were used instead of ropes to build a defensive position.”

“…….”

“Then how long will the electric wire be inside this building……?”

Kwajik-.

Sparks flew from Jung Hyun-soo’s fist, which was clutching the electric wire.

Kwon Jung-yeon looked at the boy’s hands with fearful eyes.

Dozens of electric wires were held in the boy’s hands.

The reason why Jung Hyun-soo kept wandering around the apartment.

In fact, he was weaving a spider web like a spider.

Luring the prey to come, and when the prey was cornered, Jung Hyun-soo finally bared his teeth.

“Tell me, how long will it be? Tell me. Answer me. You said you hate people who don’t answer the most, right?”

At that time, lightning struck and a roar echoed throughout Bisan-dong.

Kwagwang-!

Jung Hyun-soo, with a fierce expression, spat out the blood he had in his mouth and said.

“Die……. You monster.”

At that moment, a huge lightning bolt struck Bisan-dong once again.

Kwajik-! Kwagwagwagwagwang-!

At the same time, the lightning traveled through the electric wires and electrocuted everything around it.

Inside this apartment, there were not only Kwon Jung-yeon, but also hundreds of warriors.

一網打盡 (Ilmangtajin: Sweeping the net clean) [an idiom meaning to capture everything at once].

That’s what that phrase meant.
