Chapter 398: Regressor Instruction Manual (4)
‘No way.’
“C-point 321.12.”
-Done.
“C-point 321.69.”
-Done.
‘Is that guy for real?’
I had no choice but to open my mouth while the battle was going on.
Even though my irises were already moving as fast as they could, it was still difficult to follow.
I had already reached my limit.
I wanted to praise myself for what I had done so far, but I couldn’t.
The war situation was continuously changing, and the information I received continued to change with it.
It’s too ridiculous.
It was disconcerting to see him carry out orders easily that would’ve already been difficult to achieve for others.
He was so fast that I had to modify the route in real-time.
‘Damn.’
The problem was that I thought whenever I felt like I had adjusted to it, I made mistakes that made things worse.
I shouldn’t have put in the wizard or the priest.
I knew he could move a little faster, but assisting Kim Hyunsung going with the flow was not easy on its own.
There was a limit to continuously injecting him into an allied position and replacing buffs.
I was somehow able to block the falling magic or placed warriors in advance to clear the way.
I felt like my ability wasn’t enough to be of adequate help.
‘The details part is unreasonable.’
A situation in which other support types other than replaceable buff, magic, or divine power was made available for him was unreasonably unlikely.
I thought he would have moved much more comfortably than now if he had support from unique characteristics with heroic-grade or legendary-grade attributes.
Kim Hyunsung’s output could still be improved.
I was worried that I was restricting his movements.
I liked the idea that I could help him out, but drawbacks inevitably occurred while Kim Hyunsung received my orders.
“You can slow down. Take care of your stamina.”
-Okay.
‘Okay, let’s take a break…’
-Gasp!
-This crazy monster! Die! Stop it! Don’t let him come up!
-Don’t spare magic and arrows. You only need to get one shot. Just one shot!
‘I told you to slow down, this bastard…’
-Shut up and pull the string! Don’t’let him come up… Gasp!!!
-Ahhhhhhhhh!
-The enemy is one! The enemy is one!
“Slowly down, this mean motherfucker!”
-What are the warriors doing…
-Magic! Stop it with magic! With magic! Ahhhhhhhhh!
“Thank you, Hyunsung.”
-No problem.
‘I told you to slow down. You got excited, fuck.’
It felt like my head would burst open just by assisting Kim Hyunsung while he was moving with excitement.
My eyes continued to receive information, but my brain that deciphered it couldn’t withstand it.
The faster Kim Hyunsung moved, the more pressure would be put on my shoulders.
Not only did I keep all the magic holograms within my vision, but I had to organize the information that was received. It was natural for my average mind to be overwhelmed.
‘This… am I receiving intelligence correction?’
I didn’t know to what extent I could receive the information.
I had never used my head that hard when I was on Earth in the first place.
However, I personally determined I should be able to withstand that level of strain because I had a high intellectual stat.
If it had been me during the tutorial time, I knew I couldn’t have sustained that state for more than 15 seconds.
Five seconds might’ve been my limit.
Before my brain overloaded, I thought that the nose bleeding due to it was only possible in cartoons and movies, but after it, I felt like a fool.
There were times when I laughed loudly, treating it as a lie for dramatic production, but now I understood that feeling better than anyone else.
My head continued to ache as if it would break, but I had no choice but to keep receiving information from my eyes.
I didn’t even have time to wipe the blood from my nose. Even at that moment, Kim Hyunsung was waiting for the signal from the command and control room.
“Why is this bastard making me work so hard?”
If he moved a little slower, it wouldn’t cause any problems, but it’s a spectacle to watch him move eagerly as if trying to make me surpass my limits.
Even though he still had a little time to spare, I could see him flying right away.
When that happened, I had no choice but to follow him.
As I bit down on my lips tightly, the spear that flew from afar passed by Kim Hyunsung’s shoulder.
“Ah.”
-It’s fine.
‘Shit…’
Seeing a wound on one side of his shoulder hurt me.
Of course, it just passed, but if my reaction had been a little faster, there would have been no such wounds.
‘I missed it.’
No wonder I bit my lips tightly. My pride felt damaged.
I wanted to find the guy who threw the spear towards Kim Hyunsung as fast as I could.
Kim Hyunsung must have been set as the target as well.
‘You shouldn’t get hurt, Hyunsung.’
The enemy was slower to set Kim Hyunsung as the target than I thought.
It was an error on his part, thinking that I would be supporting the other part of the war.
He must’ve been prepared to end the fight in an extremely damaged state.
He must’ve known well that he would be in a fight and suffer.
‘This is a tricky type.’
Rather than being arrogant, it’s annoying to those who learned of their limitations the same way I did.
He seemed to put his own safety first as he had already secured an escape route.
Once again, he created and threw a spear towards Hyunsung, causing it to soar with incredible speed.
It’s natural to figure out what’s around.
It was also challenging to move the troops with Park Deokgu and Yoo Ahyoung, continue transmitting coordinates to use magic to nearby wizards, and move my left and right hands in different directions.
I was worried that my hands might get twisted, but that wouldn’t happen.
Kim Hyunsung continued to move as efficiently as possible as I watched him from the hologram.
It’s more fun than I thought.
He never got ruffled. Avoiding or cutting spears that made me feel intimidated just by looking at them, he moved to where I told him to go.
I was feeling some form of pleasure.
It felt like pieces of a puzzle were falling into place perfectly. It’s enough to give me a strange emotion.
Just by giving the right support at the right place and timing, the returner would soon sweep the enemies with ease.
‘This returner will annihilate everyone soon!’
Even though the glass spears were flying in all directions, it was spectacular to see him continually avoid them or strike them with his hands.
The culprit wouldn’t even understand what was happening.
I received the information about the named enemy while delivering coordinates to Kim Hyunsung nonstop.
His reaction was so quick that it almost felt like he was moving without my commands.
He followed the exact destination and route I gave him.
He was up against a tricky opponent who kept striking in from a blind spot.
He was more of a sniper than a spearman.
If he could narrow down the distance, the game of tag would have immediately ended, but the opponent was also getting help from their unit.
The wizards, the priests, and the warriors were always moving together.
After the number of spears he had thrown, I could see through the Goddess’s Mirror that he was beginning to pull himself away as if he thought it was no longer possible to defeat his target.
To my eyes, however, just the thought of his spears made me feel daunted.
‘It hurts my head.’
Kim Hyunsung’s physical strength needed to be preserved as much as possible.
However, it was beneficial to deal with those who were strong like that.
“Unit 7 will enter the place where the coordinates were taken.”
-Noted.
Allies and enemies continued to accumulate damage.
Kim Hyunsung was blocking attacks as much as possible, but he couldn’t stop all the glass spears that kept on targetting him.
“Jihye, please open the road.”
“Yes? Where?”
“I’m going to send Unit 7 into the location where the coordinates were marked. You just have to pay attention to them so that they can go up in the shortest time possible. I’ve already put them as close as possible.”
“I can’t afford to do that, but uh…”
“First priority. Quickly. We’re going to catch the named enemy, so focus a little bit more on this side.”
“Oh, the spearman! I’ll try then. I just have to open the road, right?”
“Yes, as quickly as you can. I’ll do the rest from there on out.”
“Yes. Okay.”
The troops could be seen moving, causing a route that had been blocked off to open up.
As if such routes were visible to Kim Hyunsung, the place where he was headed was in perfect sync with the course I thought of.
It was evident why Kim Hyunsung, who couldn’t look back on the situation as a whole, could move like that.
‘Sense.’
It’s not about moving by looking or by judging.
That was probably the sense he developed as a result of spending countless hours on the battlefield.
I didn’t know if he’s aware of it, but he’s probably a great asset that could stand out even more if he studied tactics.
“You don’t have to avoid the last attack.”
-Noted.
It was an instant that the 7th unit broke through the road and moved to Kim Hyunsung.
Kim Hyunsung’s face, while he swung his sword, was visible.
I thought it was advantageous to avoid useless fights, so I said he didn’t have to avoid it, but I wondered how that might’ve sounded.
If he doubted me, even by a little, he would not be able to act efficiently.
But, of course, Kim Hyunsung did not avoid the spear flying to him.
‘Yes, fuck! He’s going by faith. Hyunsung!’
I could see the distorted opponent’s face.
The spear almost touched Kim Hyunsung’s body before it shattered with a clinking sound.
Kim Hyunsung swung his sword at the surprised opponent.
Just as he was about to get hit, the opponent screamed.
-Aegis!
“Huh?”
A large shield was created on his left arm.
‘What the!’
He once again created a spear of glass on his right arm and reached out to Kim Hyunsung.
‘Is it dangerous? Isn’t that dangerous?’
Seeing the unidentified shield confirmed with the Mind’s Eyes, I became inevitably worried.
Unit 7 was heading toward the team surrounding him, but Kim Hyunsung was already exposed to the enemy.
It was a decisive mistake not to call the wizard in advance, thinking it would end already.
Park Deokgu, who gave him his unique abilities, couldn’t afford two activate it another time.
but there was no breakthrough.
“Av…”
Before even yelling to avoid it, the body of the lovely returner became hazy.
It’s unfathomable how he suddenly stood behind the enemy’s back and had already swung his sword at such a speed that left the enemy unable to react.
The guy holding the spear looked flustered.
Kim Hyunsung was clearly rushing in front of him.
However, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to make such a face. He had been pinned from behind, after all.
Not only did he blow up his entire arm holding the shield, but the limbs of the enemy soldiers around him soared into the air in the blink of an eye as well.
Perhaps it wasn’t even visible to ordinary people.
Had it not been for the eyes I had, I wouldn’t have been able to understand what just transpired.
When the enemy triggered the artifact, Hyunsung moved to the center of the enemy force, and the arm with the shield had already been cut off before the enemy realized that Kim Hyunsung had disappeared.
-Ahhhhhhhhh!
-Stop him! S-stop him!
-Gasp!
“Great…”
I felt ridiculous for worrying about him a little bit.
‘This bastard… I can’t tell the end with him.’
