Chapter 397: Regressor Instruction Manual (3)
‘Is this possible? Something like this… is it really possible?’
I couldn’t help but question it.
It’s true that when I first heard it, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
In the middle of the battlefield, moving under orders was virtually impossible.
We didn’t know when or where something could happen that would cause a battle to take place.
Not only did the situation change every minute, but there were also factors outside of the commander’s range of predictions that frequently occurred.
A, which was the destination, the location might have to be moved, and the possibility of a stray arrow or magic falling on the point marked with the coordinates couldn’t be ruled out either.
It’s understandable to build a camp in large-scale battles while moving troops into units, but I had never seen or heard of giving such a situation to individuals.
That’s why I wasn’t happy.
Even if the Goddess’s Mirror could be used to see the battlefield with a wide field-of-view, the responsibility to respond to fell on me.
After entering the first operation, it was still sluggish, and I didn’t like it.
However, after a short period, I had to admit that it was beyond my imagination when I opened the box.
‘This doesn’t make sense.’
I thought I could do it alone by merely marking the coordinates of a route or place, which would allow them to place weapons wherever I needed them.
However, setting targets and paying attention to details was another problem.
There was a limit to human brains’ capacity, which meant there was a limit to the number of information humans could visually accept and judge.
Not only were they unable to see everything clearly, but there wasn’t enough time to organize the information as well.
If my movements were slow, I would be able to accept them, but to respond to his speed was close to impossible for normal humans.
‘I have special eyes, Hyunsung-ssi.’
Maybe this was what he meant by saying that.
What he was doing was not something an ordinary human could do. No gamesman or military officer I knew of could pull off what he was doing.
My internal evaluation continued to pile up.
When I first met him, I just thought he was just quite useful.
The same person who left a mediocre impression on me was now an indispensable friend and a brother who led me.
I wondered where the hell that genius was hiding in the first round.
Saving him by wielding my sword in the tutorial dungeon was the best thing I did in the first and this round.
‘Enemy!’
I could see archers pulling arrows in front of me, but I didn’t really need to move.
The coordinates would be taken right away anyway.
As expected, I could see the signal coming in right away.
-C point is 321.12.
“Noted.”
Although the barrier was thick, he still charged on.
‘I can get through.’
A big man with a huge shield and ax swung his weapon at me.
As I swung my sword, I felt the familiar unpleasant tenderness of the human body. Blood soon spurted out of the man.
I kept moving my feet and gave him no time to rest.
In the meantime, commands continued to come.
My body naturally responded to the voice.
His constant commands gave me the feeling of him being right next to me.
A colleague who protected one’s back couldn’t be any more reliable than him.
Moreover, it wasn’t only his commands.
‘The buff is running out.’
-C points 321.69
“Done.”
As soon as I arrived at the place, divine power began pouring into my body.
The priest who gave me divine power also had his jaw dropped as if he found it absurd.
The only command that the priest received was to pour divine power at the exact point.
Maybe he couldn’t even properly check my movements.
‘I can understand.’
I could understand how that priest felt.
The feelings I felt now were the same as those of my allies.
It’s too absurd.
I never imagined that that kind of thing would be possible. It was like a stage made for me.
There was nothing to think about besides cutting my enemies and getting to the destination I was assigned to.
I didn’t even have to worry about magic and arrows falling from the sky.
Why?
Allied protection magic always protected me at that point anyway.
Baaaannggg!!!
With that loud sound, a curtain spread out over the sky and blocked the enemy’s magic.
The ally wizard, who cast the defense magic, was looking at me perplexed from a distance.
It was all due to him witnessing the result of a ridiculous command to cast shield magic where the enemy definitely was a few minutes ago.
‘This… he’s reading the battlefield.’
There was no better way to explain the situation.
Wounds that I inevitably received were immediately healed while I moved.
Buffs on my body never ended as if there was no time limit.
Just by moving to a specified point, a nearby allied priest added divine power to me as if he was already waiting.
If there’s a place where I felt was too far, or if I were uncertain if I could pierce through the enemy lines, magic would fall to open the path for me.
The same was true for the warriors who were pushing troops out together.
They pushed away the enemies in such a way that opened enough space for me to find the enemy’s face.
‘No way.’
I could feel pleasure in my heart.
I didn’t enjoy fighting very much. My pleasure came from the fact that I couldn’t help but feel like we’ve become one singular unit.
“Die! This monster bastard! Gasp!”
I heard an ally’s voice overlapping with the scream of a fallen enemy.
“Hyunsung, behind you!”
I heard him shouting, but I didn’t care.
I wasn’t told to be careful, just as expected.
A loud shriek soon came from behind me.
When I looked back, I saw the enemy’s face falling backward with an arrow on his forehead.
The ally archer who shot the arrow showed the same expression that others had shown so far.
Perhaps we were all feeling the same emotion.
Even if there seemed to be no laws, we were all organically connected like a spider web.
-Move to the next location.
“Done.”
-Next.
“Done.”
-You can slow down. Pay attention to your stamina.
“Done.”
‘This person is a genius.’
It wasn’t unreasonable to think of him like that.
“Gasp!”
“This crazy monster! Die! Stop him! Don’t let him come up!”
“Do not spare magic and arrows! You only need to get one shot. Just one shot!”
“But!”
“Shut up and pull the string! Don’t let him com… gasp!”
-Thank you.
“No problem.”
While I took a short breath, divine power was poured over me again, replenishing the buff.
The sight I saw after looking back was absurd, even if I thought about it.
Although my current growth level could never be labeled as slow, I couldn’t remember having such a satisfactory battle even during the first round when growth was almost over.
It couldn’t even be seen as a war.
If I said that I ran with a rough off-road in the past, now it felt like driving a very luxurious sedan on a paved road.
I had similar magic power and displacement, but the condition of the road was different.
I clenched my fists.
‘I think I can fight all day.’
Of course, it was an exaggeration.
However, if the battlefield continued to be in that state, it wouldn’t be impossible.
-Caution. 12 o’clock position.
“Noted.”
When I looked away for a moment, I responded to the voice and saw the spear.
The spear that came out in an instant was the magic that was aimed at Kiyoung awhile ago.
When I lifted my sword and cut it with a crackling sound, I saw a shard of glass exploding.
-I will take the exact coordinates. I think they set Hyunsung as the target.
“Yes. I’m checking.”
-Going.
“Okay.”
The moment I tried to charge forward, the spear came again.
It was natural for me to move to the next coordinates immediately.
Bang! Some of the enemy troops were hit by the spear, causing it to crumble.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Seeing that there was no answer to whether they’re blocking or avoiding,
It seemed like the decision was left to individual discretion.
I wanted to look around for a second, but I didn’t have time to do that.
The next attack was already coming at me.
‘Block it.’
As I swung my sword upward, I heard a clinck again.
‘Block.’
Clinck!
‘Avoid it.’
Craaacckk!!
‘Block it.’
Clinck!!
It wasn’t easy to move in a place where a massive quantity of troops was concentrated.
However, ally troops continued to open the way for me.
The command and control room transmitted coordinates, which allowed me to move safely to the location within the shortest amount of time.
Until now, it was impossible to accurately determine the person who threw the spear.
However, the enemy’s position had finally been located by the command room.
Another glass spear passed by my shoulder, grazing it.
‘It’s fine.’
That attack damaged me, but it wasn’t deep.
‘Focus.’
Another spear surged towards me again, which I destroyed immediately.
Clinck! Clicnk! Craaaacckkkk! Baaaanngg!
Naturally, I put more strength into my attacks, causing the surroundings to turn into a mess.
Since the opponent was powerful, it wasn’t unreasonable for such a situation to unfold.
But I was getting closer and closer to my destination.
I continued to cover the distance between me and my goal, leaving havoc in my wake.
The enemy was also probably aware that I was getting closer.
-Speed up a little.
“Noted.”
I had an inkling why he suddenly asked me to speed up. Maybe the other one’s moving.
The spears that continued to be thrown at me were less frequent.
As the number of variables increased, my destination changed accordingly, but I could still follow the opponent.
If the fight had progressed normally, the possibility that it would have been difficult to chase after them couldn’t have been ruled out.
It would’ve taken a long time to get to where I was.
I would have been physically exhausted and might not have been able to handle the troops coming at me from all sides.
But that was already far from being possible with him at the helm.
He’s already checking where the spear was coming from and estimating where it would fall.
I didn’t even have to worry about other attacks.
“Tie him up! Tie him up as much as possible! Up until you widen the distance… Ahhhhhhhhh!”
“That’s c-crazy! Genia!”
“Tie him as much as… gasp!”
Once again, I injected magic power into my feet and hit the ground as much as possible.
The surrounding landscape changed in an instant.
A frightened man threw a spear right in front of me.
“Son of a bitch! Die!”
-You do not need to avoid the last attack.
“Noted.”
If I twisted my body, he’d be able to widen the distance again.
I had to take my chance before he hid in the crowd.
I was a little nervous, but I bit my lips tightly.
As I swung my sword without avoiding the spear, I could see him greatly startled.
“Mad bastard!”
It was then that the body shone with a sound.
There was no damage despite being attacked.
When I instinctively glanced sideways while swinging my sword, I could see Park Deokgu taking damage instead of me.
He must have triggered the attribute to receive damage from others instead.
I had goosebumps on my back.
