Worthless Regression Chapter 61

————————————==

I keep what Richie said in my head. Value as a sacrifice. causality. It was confusing. The memories of the fear that remained in his heart still made Lee Seong-min’s body tremble.

I almost died. That was undoubtedly true. however… She didn’t die. I don’t understand why I avoid death. Why didn’t that unknown fear accept Lee Seong-min as a sacrifice?

‘There was someone else besides me.’

Seongmin Lee carefully approached the closed door. Richie said: He said that, other than Lee Seong-min, he had met someone whose causality was distorted. I don’t know who that being is, but it is certain that it has a strength that overwhelms the Lich, who played with Bern, Zeon, and other mercenaries like children.

Who could it be? I wanted to ask Richie that, but I couldn’t go to him. In fact, besides that, Seongmin Lee had many things he wanted to ask Richie.

Now Seongmin Lee is wearing barding.

Barded Devenak. An artifact that transformed a third-rate mercenary into a peak expert. Although he obtained the barding as he had hoped, the barging had no effect on Lee Seong-min. Richie was also puzzled about that. Why doesn’t he feel any change even though he wears barding?

Coooooo!

It was the moment Lee Seong-min opened the door and came out. A huge roar felt from underground shook the entire dungeon. Seongmin Lee made a startled noise and sat down in his seat. what? He looked around in confusion. The loud noise from the floor continued to explode.

Beings of great power were colliding. rich… Is Richie fighting? With whom? What happened to the other mercenaries? What about Xeon? Questions continued to arise, but he didn’t want to worry about them.

I had to run away.

I don’t know where Richie went. I don’t know why Rich left the room, leaving Lee Seong-min behind. The reason is not important. What Lee Seong-min must do now is to run away from here and survive. With Lee Seong-min’s current strength, it is impossible for him to escape when he encounters Lich again. I felt bitter.

After completing his training on the mountain of Mushi, Lee Seong-min… I became conceited. He gained strength that he could not have achieved in his previous life. Peak expert. S-class mercenary. He acquired the strength to be treated in his own way no matter where he went in Aria. He became proud of it.

I found myself feeling helpless. The strength that Lee Seong-min acquired was only this much. Nothing can be done against ‘real’ monsters. Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip. He was lucky. I’m lucky… survived.

Is it really so?

While reminding himself that there are no coincidences, Lee Seong-min started moving again. Regret, self-torture, self-destruction. It is better to do this after exiting the dungeon rather than doing it now.

At some point, the sound from deep in the floor stopped. Conflicts between powerful beings also stopped. What on earth happened? In the mind of Lee Seong-min, who was walking away ignoring the questions about him, [Are you a mercenary?]

I was on my way to find a way out. Someone spoke to Lee Seong-min’s mind. It wasn’t Richie’s voice. Lee Seong-min was shocked and froze on the spot.

[ah… Don’t be surprised. I am not your enemy. What I’m talking to you about now is… Because there is something I want to ask of you.]

There was a deep sense of fatigue in his voice as he said that. Lee Seong-min looked around with a puzzled expression.

[My name is Lloyd. He is the lord of the Golden Magic Tower. … Do you know me?]

Know. Lloyd, the owner of the Golden Magic Tower. He is one of the great wizards who was famous even in Lee Seong-min’s past life. Scarlett, who founded the Lesir School, later became the lord of the Red Magic Tower, and even before that, Lloyd was the lord of the Golden Magic Tower and was one of the leading wizards in Aria.

But Lloyd is dead. To be precise, his whereabouts were unknown. Since she had been missing for nearly 10 years, she had to be considered virtually dead. If you think about it… It was around the same time that Lloyd, who was famous as a great wizard, went missing.

[I have a favor to ask. Can I move now? It’s difficult, but… Can you help me?]

“… “Are you really Lloyd?”

Seongmin Lee stuttered and asked. I doubted whether Lloyd would hear this question, but [I swear on my mana. I am Lloyd. Lloyd, the owner of the Golden Magic Tower, is right. and… I will never harm you.]

Fortunately, Lloyd heard Lee Seong-min’s question and answered it. For a wizard, the oath to mana is absolute. Seongmin Lee felt a little relieved and asked the question again.

“Warlock… What happened to Rich?”

[rich… You probably mean Frescan, right? He is not here. He ran away.]

Lloyd answered. The identity of the heavy drinking heard in the basement appears to have been the sound of Lloyd and Richie fighting.

“How are you asking me to help you?”

[Please come here first. If you look for it, there will be a way. No more… It’s hard to say. I’m about to run out of magical power… ]

Lloyd’s voice lost strength. Seongmin Lee thought for a moment, and Lloyd added the last word.

[If you help me, I will reward you for it.]

Seongmin Lee sighed. Since Richie has run away, there is no longer anyone here that can threaten Seongmin Lee. Especially since Lloyd made an oath on mana. In the end, Seongmin Lee went back the way he came and searched for a path leading underground.

There was no lock on the tightly closed iron door. Lee Seong-min opened the iron door and entered, discovering the stairs leading to the basement. As he descended the stairs, smelling a damp, musty smell, he arrived in a large cavity.

The joint was a mess. The floor was cracked like a rice field during a drought, and there were large signs of destruction left here and there, as if a bomb had exploded. Lee Seong-min’s face became stiff as he arrived at the gym and looked around.

Zeon’s body was seen.

Next to the corpse, dried and twisted like a mummy, Zeon lay with a pale face. The open wound on his chest is visible. The large amount of blood flowing from his wound confirmed Zeon’s death. I never imagined that I would see Zeon’s body here.

In Seongmin Lee’s past life, Zeon’s death did not exist. Zeon was alive until Lee Seong-min became a C-rank mercenary and discovered the dungeon. however… In this life, Zeon is dead. The corpse of Zeon, who had already surpassed the wall of mastery at the peak, made Lee Seong-min feel complicated feelings.

Seongmin Lee was wary of Zeon. He heard some worried words from Rude, and Zeon’s own attitude towards Lee Seong-min was enough to make him wary.

“This way.”

Before Seongmin Lee could approach Zeon, Lloyd’s voice was heard. Lee Seong-min was startled and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from.

“I am… “You’re lucky.”

Lloyd’s face was drenched in blood. However she managed to save her life, her fatal wounds could not be avoided. Seongmin Lee quickly opened his eyes and approached Lloyd.

“I never thought there would be survivors.”

“… “What happened?”

Seongmin Lee asked as he leaned towards Lloyd. Lloyd let out a dry cough, and there was blood in her cough.

“It’s nothing special. … I tried to kill Preskan… Freskan’s chimera was stronger than I thought. Since Preskan was not in perfect condition, he was able to equalize and kick them out. “Thanks to you, my life was saved.”

The answer to the question I had was presented. Why did the lich leave the dungeon without even taking his barding? Why has Lloyd, the owner of the Golden Magic Tower, gone missing?

Something like this probably happened in a past life. Lloyd came here and fought with Lich. Although Lich would emerge victorious in his fight against Lloyd, he would be mortally wounded and flee this dungeon. And Lloyd, who was not saved, died here.

“… “What do you want to ask me for?”

“Please take me with you and escape from here. I am… It’s hard to move because your magic power is depleted. “Sending you telepathy was only possible by barely scraping together the remaining magical power.”

Lloyd said with a bitter smile.

“and… another one. A heart floating above. “Please destroy it.”

At those words, Lee Seong-min lifted his head and looked up at the sky. It was just as Lloyd said. A heart was floating high in the sky.

“Originally I was going to do it, but… As I said, I am now depleted of magical power. But to come back later and destroy it… There is a possibility that Frescan may come back. “I think it would be easier to destroy the heart right now.”

“… “What on earth is that?”

“I don’t know either.”

Lloyd answered with a sigh. She battled the unknown Chimera Girl and Preskan, though she managed to chase them away. Lloyd didn’t know what that heart was.

“But that thing is dangerous. That’s for sure.”

The chimera girl was strong. No, not simply that. The power that the chimera girl used was very strange and ominous. The two, who were fatally wounded, ran away without even being able to take the remaining heart, but you never know when they will come back and take it again.

“… All right.”

Since it seemed difficult for Lloyd to say any more, Seongmin Lee nodded his head. Originally, I didn’t know what kind of variables saving Lloyd, who was supposed to go missing and die, would create in the future, but I felt like nothing bad would happen by establishing a relationship with Lloyd, who was an archmage. Seongmin Lee held his spear tightly and looked up at him.

The problem occurred in a small place.

Lee Seong-min can’t fly. He couldn’t even reach the point where he could unleash strong energy. There were not many ways for Lee Seong-min to attack and destroy the heart floating in the air. Seongmin Lee hesitated and then threw his spear towards the heart.

Shhh! The javelin tore through the air and flew towards the heart. However, although the momentum he fired was good, he was unable to pierce the heart. Even though he threw it with all his energy, the moment it got close to the heart, its speed slowed down significantly and it fell to the floor before it could even reach it properly.

“It won’t be that easy.”

Lloyd muttered in a low voice as if he were going crazy. Even with Lloyd’s magic, she couldn’t do anything about her heart. Seongmin Lee clicked his tongue and picked up the fallen spear. A javelin is not powerful enough. Seongmin Lee measured the distance his heart was floating and lowered his knees.

Percussion! Lee Seong-min’s body jumped high and soared to the point where his heart was floating. Lee Seong-min, who was floating in the air, swallowed his breath and filled the spears he held in both hands with energy.

And then he stabbed the spear into the heart. It was that moment. The magic power surrounding her heart swelled greatly. It functions to protect the heart from external attacks. As the pounding sound gets louder, magical power pushes Lee Seong-min’s spear away. Lee Seong-min chewed his lip as he felt the resistance felt in both hands and gave strength to his hands to push the spear.

Excited.

The sound of his heart beating rings in Lee Seong-min’s ears. Lee Seong-min’s heart is pounding in sync. His spear continued to point forward, and at some point, the resistance felt in Lee Seong-min’s hands disappeared.

The head of the spear and the heart touch. pierced through

Did you pierce it?

Phew! The heart is gone. Lee Seong-min’s spear pierced the air. Lee Seong-min opened his eyes wide, not knowing what was happening.

Lee Seong-min’s heart stopped once. Lee Seong-min’s mouth opened in a gasp as his breathing became difficult. Lee Seong-min, who staggered greatly in the air, let go of the spear without realizing it. The window fell to the floor, and Lee Seong-min’s body fell to the floor along with it.

before hitting the ground. Lee Seong-min’s heart beat again. Excited, Excited. I can hear the sound of my heart beating in my ears. Lee Seong-min felt a sense of strangeness at that sound. He quickly pulled his body down to the floor and prayed, but the strangeness of the sound of his beating heart did not go away. Lee Seong-min placed his hand on his left chest with a puzzled expression.

[‘Black Heart’ was obtained.]

Lee Seong-min heard a voice in his head.

It was the same sound as when I learned the skill.
