Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Chapter 87

Episode 87

The 7th floor of the super-large ruins, the common room on the lowest floor.

There was nothing so desolate in the great hall.

The cold gray walls, the gloomy light that illuminates the cavity, and even the remnants of a shattered golem.

The golem, the size of a garden, rolled on the floor with all three cores destroyed.

Allen calmly grasped the situation.

I expected that something related to the Demon King would appear. But I just didn’t expect it to happen on such a large scale.

Yes, that’s all.

So, do you need to panic?

‘First of all, things in front of you.’

Worries about Jo Won were forcibly suppressed. Because worrying about something now doesn’t change anything.

Enough enough for Allen to look around a bit.

‘First, is this space related to vibration?’

We don’t know if the earthquake occurred because they entered the cavity, or if the time coincided.

However, judging by Alexius’s reaction as if he knew something, it was correct to think of the latter.

‘That does not mean that the former is irrelevant.’

There must be a reason why the white book said to get out of the cavity.

Allen took a break from his thoughts and looked at the walls and ceiling of the common room. There was a mural carved on it with traces of something scratched.

Unfortunately, no other information could be obtained from the scratched marks.

Allen turned his head, examining the remaining murals.

“Are you guessing anything?”

“Well… , probably a monster that existed when I was alive, before the Great Fall.”

Without seeing eyes, she immediately floated into the air. The tip of the hilt of her sword rumbled as she was happy to move after a long time.

“Not the ancient empire, but earlier?”

“yes. body too… , I can guess to some extent.”

The paintings on the remaining murals were somewhat recognizable.

A monster in the basement of a large fortress. Soldiers standing on the fortress. Meteor showers falling from the sky.

After that, even the appearance of the monsters in the basement raging violently.

The picture of the monster was drawn rather bizarrely.

As if to warn that someone accidentally frees the monster.

Except for him, the murals were badly damaged and unrecognizable.

“name is… .”

“Vedrepolnir.”

As if she was startled, the blade trembled and flew away.

“Bed… No, did you know!?」

Allen took a step back, noting her reaction. She had no choice but to make excuses because she had not yet decided to divulge the secrets of the White Book.

“No, I remember reading it in a book I looked at in the library.”

“ah… , library. then… , do you know anything else about it?”

When he answered, I could feel the power in her voice. Allen shook her head.

“No, only the name is mentioned, so I don’t know. It’s an ancient monster, so I just said its name.”

“but… , since it is nearby, there may be information.”

She came back slowly, as if she understood. As if calmed down, her voice returned to normal.

“Then what will you do?”

There is still more time.

Is it a little over ten minutes now?

“You were surprised until you heard the real cry, didn’t you? Because I was about to fall. I haven’t heard it in a very long time.”

The ruins continued to vibrate, and from a distance, for some reason, an explosion could be heard.

But nothing came to Allen’s place.

“Anyway, how about getting out of here quickly? I don’t think it’s a good sign that the vibrations are getting louder.”

“Of course I should… .”

Allen stopped talking.

He lowered his posture in an instant and grabbed the Bestla.

Within the range of the sensed power that had been spread out, someone stepped in.

‘How many people? no, it’s two Human or humanoid? What’s the other one?’

A mighty vitality revolved around his body, and a skein was released from his beating heart.

It had been a long time since I had felt the sensation of the sword I was holding properly.

A tingling sensation in the skin that requires self-regulation of the concentration of the senses according to the sensitivity.

‘The opponent’s magical power is enormous.’

It’s not comparable to himself, but it’s several times higher than most academy students.

As if the opponent felt Allen’s presence, the speed began to increase.

weaved a thread It is enough to hold your gaze for a moment as a check for the first time. A skein of thread pierced the passage, entwined with green-blue cutlery in an instant.

At that moment, a flash of lightning flashed.

Awkward!

The cutlery that had penetrated the darkness of the passage was crushed in an instant.

The dark blue lightning that contained the lightning scattered the shards. The strength of the body that was moving forward after breaking the hard floor began to lose strength.

‘Brain? no way… .’

Unless it was a special place like this place, the escape artifact would have been triggered. Unless he foresaw this situation, there would be no way.

For a moment, Allen felt like he wanted to deny reality when he saw the guy sticking his head everywhere.

But the moment he saw the figure of his opponent close to his sight, he had no choice but to stop running.

The other party immediately made a bewildered expression and immediately lowered the sword.

Gyao!

Dongdong wept as if not to forget himself under them.

He looked at Julius who was approaching him.

On top of the academy uniform, he was carrying a large bag instead of light light equipment and subspace artifacts. The bag was inflated as if carrying something.

“How are you… , no don’t ask Is there something going on?”

At least it was obvious.

There is a quest related to this.

Allen kept a frown on the fact.

‘… There was nothing related to this in the Black Book.’

Julius in the 1st round of the Black Book is only written about his triumphant success alone in other ruins.

nothing to say

The future has changed, and Julius said that he received a quest that was not in the first round.

‘… Now, Julius’s move has become more difficult to predict.’

Allen felt anxious or regretful about that fact.

Since he knows what he’s thinking and what his goal is, he can roughly guess. But knowing roughly and knowing exactly are different.

It was natural. That’s because the advantage of information through the Black Book gave Allen a huge advantage.

Being able to know ahead of time what someone will do means being able to act one step faster than that.

Realizing the dependence on the Black Book and trying to prevent it, he had the opportunity to look back on the memories of the first episode before returning, but Allen realized that he was still subconsciously dependent on the Black Book.

“Oh that… Yes. you’re right. older brother.”

Julius nodded his head hurriedly at Allen’s consideration, ignoring the excuses he had prepared.

There is no need to make crude excuses if the other person understands your situation.

“Then why are you here?”

“We were moving up to the 7th floor with the goal of breaking through in the shortest time, and then something strange happened.”

Allen did not hide what happened here.

After all, when I met Alexius and Milred, I was told it was a lie.

“The ruins shook, and at the same time there was a sudden harbinger of spatial movement. The artifact didn’t activate either. Only a few escaped from that state. I don’t know about the lives of other members. I… As you can see, I resisted.”

Julius did not doubt Allen’s words because he was aware of Allen’s skills.

“Then what would you do?”

“Of course you have to escape. There is no reason to stay here to feel this vibration.”

The vibrations of the ruins were increasing as time passed.

“Then how… .”

Allen did not answer with a puzzled face.

His escape artifact was not working after he nearly suffered a forced space shift.

That was the problem.

It took tens of hours to get down here from the ground.

But only ten minutes left.

It was a rough estimate, so I didn’t know exactly how much was left.

“Julius, do you have an escape artifact?”

Julius shook his head. Roughly when the boss appeared, he had no choice but to deal with it. At the same time, I’m just thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to get some hidden pieces.

His artifacts should be rolling around on his couch on the ground by now.

But I can’t say that straight away.

“Me too, the artifact didn’t work… , haha.”

Should I break the stairs of the ruins?

Allen compared the strength of the floor seeping inside his body with the strength of the floor he felt earlier.

Even if the walls and ceilings of the ruins are not perfect, it is a place that can withstand the power of Allen, who has the power of a giant.

Thousands of years have not been able to weather the ruins.

‘Of course, it might be possible with imperfect time magic and all-out attacks, but… .’

Do I even have to do that?

The uncontrollable force would give Julius a warning, and there was a possibility that his attitude would be different from what he had been up to now.

That would break a thread in your relationship with Allen. That was the situation Allen wanted the most.

‘A relationship that doesn’t even have boundaries.’

Extremely idealistic, altruistic, and artificial.

A brother who wants to split the beans in half, even if they get one piece of beans, something you might see in a fairy tale.

That was the impression Allen was trying to build on Julius, and it was what he was going to show at the Academy.

“Brother, if there is no way, why not break the ceiling and climb up? If you stay here and the ruins collapse… .”

Julius shook his head as if he did not want to even imagine.

“Obviously, it is too risky. Wouldn’t it be better to go the other way and find a way?”

“Um, though… .”

“For example, what was missing in the passage you entered?”

Julius looked at the side he had come in from without thinking, and suddenly his face changed color as if he had remembered something and shook his head.

With an awkward expression, he pointed to the passage Allen had entered.

“In the direction I came from, there is no road mixed with monsters and ruin guardians. You’d be better off going the way you came.”

Allen, feeling strange at the sight, stretched his senses for a moment and scanned the direction Julius had entered. Julius looked at him with a puzzled face.

There were rough traces of other monsters and the guardians of the ruins.

‘… I don’t think I lied.’

But what is that look?

Allen immediately shook his head and focused on the present situation.

“Still, if the ruins collapse, it’s the same as being trapped.”

“I think it would be better to break the ceiling and escape.”

“Are you there?”

“You have to do that… .”

Julius patted Dongdong in response to Allen’s question. Dong-dong quietly enjoyed his hand.

Allen was mentally conflicted.

‘Is it right to reveal more cards? Or, how to reverse traps like when you got here? Why didn’t you prepare for this?’

It was because I trusted the academy too much.

There are two Eight Rivers, and there are hundreds of years of history. Therefore, Allen was vigilant that there would be no problem with the safety provided by the academy, even in actual combat.

‘Despite being hit by the ring bridge.’

It’s a thing of the past, but it could have happened. Aside from that, the incidents and accidents that occur every year at the Academy were not formidable.

It was simply settled by the academy’s quick response and appropriate compensation.

Allen pondered for a moment, then began to come up with a solution.

‘Can not help it. Incomplete time magic is revealed.’

Adjusted the physical ability and lowered it to the level of a knight. Even that was huge, but in Julius’s eyes, it wouldn’t be insignificant.

His eyes are focused on the original novel.

As Allen was about to open her mouth with that determination, dozens of footsteps could be heard as if waiting. It was a timing that you would only see in a novel.

“Allen, are you there?”

“hey! Julius!”

Allen’s head turned at the familiar voice. Julius also muttered in a puzzled voice.

“Rachel… ?”

“uh? Aveline?”

As if imagining a difficult situation, a solution was prepared in an instant.

As fate would have them, no.

‘Julius.’

Luck followed Julius. like a novel.

Julius just waved his hand with a happy face at this wonderful coincidence.

“Five… , Aveline, are you here?”

“You bastard! Why are you here!”
