Worthless Regression Chapter 89

————————————==

< Sword Demon-4 >

Should I rely on recognition?

I didn’t have such shallow thoughts. Even though they practiced while sharing the same place called Mushi’s Mountain, there is no relationship between Lee Seong-min and the Sword Demon. The only people Lee Seong-min had a relationship with on that mountain were Baek So-go and Scarlett.

In Lee Seong-min’s memories, the Sword Demon was always standing on the side of a cliff.

A blind swordsman.

The Sword Demon, who was looking down at the distant cliff with invisible eyes, was more suited to being a practitioner than anyone else practicing on that mountain. That’s why Lee Seong-min had a deep impression on the Sword Demon.

I had to throw it away.

Perhaps Lee Seong-min admired the Sword Demon. A swordsman who looked more like a monk than anyone else. He throws it away. What drives Lee Seong-min now is nothing but a contradictory sense of responsibility and the resulting self-satisfaction.

In Lee Seong-min’s hands, a straight spear flies wild. What unfolded was Gucheonmugeukchang’s Ichoin Bunroechusal. As Changyoung messes up Changyoung’s eyes, the spear splits into dozens of spears and attacks the Sword Demon with deadly force.

The Sword Demon was not fooled by the frantic shaking of Changyoung. What Sword Ears is holding in her right hand is a straight sword. Although it is a weapon with a large difference in length from the spear held by Lee Seong-min, it did not act as a disadvantage to the swordsman.

Kakakakang! The sound of metal clashing against metal continues continuously. Lee Seong-min’s hands, which were constantly moving, created dozens of movements with a straight spear. The Sword Demon responded to the onslaught of spears without retreating at all. Swords and spears clash. The distance between the two does not narrow.

What kind of sword technique will the swordsman use?

There is no time to look at the other person. Seongmin Lee focused on the movement of the spear. The basic skills of Lan Na Chal were melted into the Nine Heavenly Dance Spear. The lightning strike that continues to be fired uses Ran and I to block the Sword Demon’s swords that dig in or stab from the side. At some point, when Lee Seong-min took a deep breath. Seongmin Lee’s spear stopped, just once. Seongmin Lee’s spear shoots forward. Chuhon Issa was as fast as Seomjeon. However, there is no surprise on the Sword Demon’s expression. The sword spun around in the sword demon’s right hand, then he held it in reverse and raised it wide, knocking Lee Seong-min’s spear away.

The Sword Demon didn’t say anything. The sun was setting. Seongmin Lee ignored the tingling sensation in his hands and brought down the spear raised above. The spear became a blunt object and fell on the head of the sword demon who was digging in. The Sword Demon’s feet slide to the side. At the same time as he detours, the swung sword aims at Lee Seong-min’s waist.

The moment the sword was about to tear Lee Seong-min’s side. Seongmin Lee’s body turned blurry and disappeared. The one step of Muyeong’s defection caused Lee Hyeong-hwanwi.

The Sword Demon is not embarrassed. He slightly changed the direction of the sword he swung. Lee Seong-min, who was a few steps away, opened his eyes wide when he saw the sword of the ear of the sword piercing his chest. Seongmin Lee pulled his spear into his arms and twisted it.

Whoops! Lee Seong-min’s body is pushed back with a heavy sound. Give strength to your back as it stumbles and falls backwards. I could taste blood between my clenched teeth.

Toward the blades that attack one after another.

Gucheonmugeukchang 3 seconds, Boksakbaektam 伏蛇魄貪.

The window scatters. disappears The spear that was fired is not visible. Does the fluttering window cover my eyes? Are you deluded? Throw away both eyes. Feel it with your senses. From bottom to top, the Sword Demon leaned his upper body back.

Shwaaak! Blood spurted from the tip of the Sword Demon’s nose. If I had been a little late in leaning back, I would have been pierced with a spear from under my chin to the top of my head.

“Hahaha!”

The Sword Demon took a few steps back and burst into laughter. She never thought that the spear would jump up from the bottom. No, it’s not just that. If the spear was lowered upward and stabbed, there is no way the Sword Demon would have been injured. How much change there was in that simple movement. The Sword Demon nodded his head in pure admiration.

“indeed. “Is this how the ignorant kid on the mountain grew up?”

As the Sword Demon said this, he wiped the wound on the tip of his nose with the back of his hand. It was a strange thing. Although it was shallow, she had clearly cut her skin and was bleeding. When Sword Ear stole the tip of her nose with the back of her hand, there was no wound there.

“I’m jealous.”

The Sword Demon spoke in a low voice. He held the sword with both hands. The way his upper body was half-bent and the sword raised upright was laid sideways, the motion of the sword ear looked like a wild beast preparing to charge.

“I envy your talent.”

It was a word that could not be overlooked.

[ah.]

Kim Jong-hyun’s voice passed through Lee Seong-min’s mind.

[indeed. I wondered why they bothered to fight here instead of running away… ]

The sword spirit runs. The speed of the running sword was incomparably faster than before. In an instant, the sword spirit disappeared out of Lee Seong-min’s field of vision, and rather than turning his head and eyes to chase the sword spirit, Lee Seong-min moved based on his sixth sense.

grasp! Her left shoulder was cut. Lee Seong-min twisted his waist, feeling fortunate that the searing pain had stopped. I escape by drawing an afterimage with Ilbomuyeong.

“It’s night.”

The Sword Demon spits out. The eye glow of the sword ear gliding in the darkness was as red as her blood. The movements of her body, as she attacked and attacked, were as free as if she were swimming in the dark. And the swords slashing at her from all sides were absolute death, like the blade of a guillotine, and carried such weight.

Quad deuk! The spear broke in Lee Seong-min’s hand. I tried to block the Sword Demon’s sword through Changgan, but it was impossible to hold on.

[Be careful. Night is his time.]

I don’t have time to reply to Kim Jong-hyun’s words. Lee Seong-min quickly took out a new spear from the subspace pocket on his waist.

[He is a vampire.]

I don’t know. The outsider known as a vampire is that famous. A monster that turns humans into non-humans. A monster that becomes stronger at night after the sun sets and cannot survive without drinking blood.

The eyes of the Sword Demon, staggering in the darkness, are red. Seongmin Lee took a deep breath and tightly gripped his new spear. The sword ears that laughed as her shoulders lifted opened her mouth.

“Does this look ugly?”

Sharp fangs are visible between the open lips. Vampires are famous, but this was Lee Sung-min’s first time seeing a vampire.

“… Since when?”

“After coming down the mountain. It was a time when I despaired of the vessels I had. I am… I hated getting old. I want to do more, I want to swing the sword more, I want to go further. “My body is already worn out and I can’t go any further. It holds me back from wanting to go.”

As the Sword Demon said that, he looked up at the sky.

“I’ve been swinging a sword for 50 years. I believed in myself that I had great talent, and that one day I would become the best in the world. Hehe… Hehehe. It was small. I was a childish fool who didn’t know that the world was wide. “It’s about a subject that faced a wall 10 years ago and couldn’t find a way to get over it.”

So did you become a vampire?

“I had to overcome old age. But I couldn’t even dream of Banro Hwan-dong with my small bowl. more… I needed more time. So I looked for it. How to overcome time. … but… Even though I ended up with a body like this. “I’m still not satisfied.”

The Sword Demon raised his red eyes and looked at Lee Seong-min.

“I gained time by not being human. But my body is still old. more… “We need more blood.”

[It seems that a vampire with a sword demon as a blood relative is not a very powerful being. Or they are not interested in the Sword Demon.]

[What does it mean?]

[If you mutate by drinking the blood of a higher species, you can even overcome aging. The reward you get from giving up on humanity is that sweet. But doesn’t the Sword Demon still have an old body? Either you’re related to a not-so-great vampire, or… It may have undergone minimal mutation due to not receiving enough blood. It’s probably one of the two.]

“It’s a beautiful moon.”

The sword demon said.

“The moonlight was beautiful even when I killed His Holiness the Taoist… “It was a really great night.”

“… “The Taoists from the volcano will come to kill you.”

“It’s already too late to go back. The moment I crossed the mountain gate and started a fight with His Holiness, I was no longer able to return. Because it’s night… Thank goodness. Now I can run amok more. I could drink more blood. “How much do I have to drink to regain my youth?”

The Sword Demon looked at the moon and smiled. Madness with no humanity left. No, is it blindness that runs towards what you want? I envy your talent. The words the Sword Demon said linger in Lee Seong-min’s mind.

[Even though the Sword Demon’s power as a vampire is not that strong. Being a supreme expert and a vampire is a very dangerous being. Especially today is the full moon. Cheonnajimang is a failure. First, we must let go of the Sword Demon and aim for daylight.]

“Am I afraid?”

The Sword Demon looked at Lee Seong-min and asked. Whoa… A red-hot air current tangles from the Sword Demon’s sword. Eventually, it became a sword that glowed red.

[…] It looks like the Sword Demon has no intention of letting you go. I can’t help it. Please hold on just a little longer. Soon, the Taoists from the volcano will come.]

It’s a difficult story. A supremely expert vampire who benefits from Manwol. It is impossible for Lee Seong-min, who is barely looking at the threshold of transcendence, to deal with him.

But Lee Seong-min did not want to run away. Seongmin Lee took a deep breath and increased his strength. The energy that surged from the Danjeon circulated through Lee Seong-min’s energy, and a purple air current became entangled in the spear he was holding.

It’s not efficient. Namgoong Heewon and Jihak also pointed him out. It was something that could not be helped. Lee Seong-min, whose mind, energy, and body are all tangled up, is not very accustomed to handling internal energy. However, the fact that he was able to handle strength even though he did not reach the level of transcendence was also proof that the spirit that Lee Seong-min gained from the fight with Aine was real.

“… “That’s amazing.”

The Sword Demon smiled, showing his fangs as he looked at the purple steel that surrounded Lee Seong-min’s spear.

“I think it would be fun to fight with you.”

The sword dances.

The black piled up in the red-hot river was as ghastly as a ghostly fire cutting through the darkness. It slipped and disappeared, spreading light and dazzling my eyes, and yet it also possessed the vicious power to destroy and cut down everything it touched.

From the moment they start using strong energy, the weight of their wounds changes drastically. If in previous battles, the only thing that could have been a grazing wound was cutting the skin and causing bleeding, but from the moment the force was unleashed, even a grazing wound became a fatal wound. Strength is such an attack method. All attacks are executed with one strike.

However, a transcendental expert has a preparedness plan for such strength.

‘Self-defense strength… !’

A thin red energy surrounds the Sword Demon’s body. Being able to use self-defense techniques freely proves that you are a supreme expert. Lee Seong-min, who was forced to use his strength before Sim Deuk-man, is unable to use his strength in self-defense.

That made a huge difference between Lee Seong-min and the Sword Demon. If Seongmin Lee were to receive even one attack from the Sword Demon, he would be mortally wounded and die, but that is not the case with the Sword Demon.

But even so, Lee Seong-min’s singing style was sufficiently powerful against the sword demon. The Gucheonmugeukchang, with its added strength, blocked the movements of the Sword Demon while showing incomparable power compared to before, and the Sword Demon responded to Lee Seong-min’s singing technique by making minimal movements. Because Lee Seong-min’s spear overpowers the sword spirit? no.

The Sword Demon was enjoying himself.

Like a predator playing with its prey. The Sword Demon made fun of Lee Seong-min’s singing style and pretended not to notice the gap. As the number of seconds they shared increased, Lee Seong-min realized him. The Sword Demon is enjoying himself. And that ‘I’ myself am not enjoying it.

That’s very

‘It sucks.’

It felt like that.

If you think about it, it’s really unlucky.

I trained in Shaolin for 4 years. As I worked with Jihak every day, my martial arts skills became quite stable. The wall of climax has already been broken through and we are heading towards the peak. Considering Lee Seong-min’s age, it would be rare for a martial artist to reach this level. If I had to pick one, I would say that only a few of them would be the successors of a prestigious family like the Namgung family, or the direct disciples of a huge school like the Gupa Ilbang family, and among them, only a few of them would be equal in skill to Lee Seong-min’s or even better than him.

In other words, if you look at it objectively, Lee Sung-min is by no means weak. He has outstanding skills that are among the best among his peers. Nevertheless, the reason Lee Sung-min suffers from a sense of inferiority and self-destruction is because of the memories of his past life that are keeping him captive. At the same time, it was because of the numerous true geniuses that Lee Sung-min encountered.

So unlucky. If I lived in a narrow world, only looking at small things, I wouldn’t have had to feel this sense of self-destruction and inferiority. Because I was unlucky, I met a lot of great people.

I learned that people cannot change easily.

When you meet Flam at Mt. Mshi. When I overcame Mshi’s ordeal and stopped caring about Flam. Seongmin Lee thought that he had overcome his sense of inferiority.

It wasn’t. Mushi’s mountain was small, and Lee Seong-min’s sense of inferiority that he felt upon seeing the mountain was also small. When he escaped from that small world and encountered the big world, Lee Seong-min discovered that it was his mistake to think that he had abandoned his inferiority complex.

Practicing in Shaolin taught me to completely let go of that sense of inferiority.

So, has ‘I’ become stronger?

no.

‘I’ am still weak.

It is not a feeling of inferiority and self-deprecation. For Lee Seong-min, this was just a fact. I am weak. Weaker than the Sword Demon. Therefore, the Sword Demon cannot be held responsible for killing the holy monk. It’s all because I’m weak.

I don’t want to be weak.

‘really?’

The feeling of the hand holding the spear is unfamiliar.

‘know. I am weak.’

The feeling that comes from your fingers tracing the window.

‘So I performed it.’

The feeling of the toes supporting the right foot reaching forward.

‘why?’

Falling sword.

‘Because I don’t want to remain weak.’

A spear that shoots out.

‘Because I don’t want to be embarrassed.’

The Sword Demon’s chest was pierced by a spear.
