The Regressor's Results (Part 2)

We descended from Isilia's back, heading home.

During the flight, I spotted a Giant Lava Worm thrashing wildly in the volcano crater.

"Who's handling the boss?"

Ten players dotted the landscape like specks, engaged in battle.

And that worm jelly thing, the Giant Lava Worm.

Every time it moved, the surroundings turned into a blazing inferno.

"Let's go. Isilia, dive toward that side! I'll give you a shop!"

Isilia held her tongue and dove toward the crater.

As we got closer, it became clear.

Exactly ten players were raiding the boss.

Yu Dahui smiled brightly and said,

It was the recent feeling she had, but Yu Dahui seemed to get a thrill from doing something with her strengthened power.

The more we descended, the more the players around the crater panicked.

A dragon was coming down, so who wouldn't be scared?

The panicking players ignored us.

We quickly jumped off Isilia's back.

The players raiding the Lava Worm were skilled enough, splitting roles perfectly.

I told Yu Dahui,

"Looks like you won't get to spoon in."

"Why?"

"Guild. Every single piece of armor, robe, everything has the same pattern."

Yu Dahui didn't know how regular players moved because she only trusted regression.

In the novel, they only join guilds on the fourth floor.

"Guild... So if I mess with them, it's because they're not asking for help?"

"If they're not calling for help, they might just start trouble."

Yu Dahui thought for a moment at my words.

And then she decided.

"Anyway, I was going to regress anyway.

Just kill these guys and mess with the Lava Worm once."

A weak-willed decision to backstab the guild raiding there and regress to run away.

"Fine."

I gave her a thumbs-up.

Regressors by nature were the ones who sucked the bones of other players.

That was the Korean saying for it.

Yu Dahui let out a little laugh.

Since she had decided, she had no reason to hesitate.

"These bastards need to die!"

Yu Dahui charged forward.

I sucked the life out of them.

Instantly, the players pointed their weapons at us.

Whoosh—! A mana-charged arrow flew.

Isilia created a shield in front of me.

"It's hard to use power here because of the Lava Worm."

Isilia frowned and shot an ice spear.

Watery-looking ice pieces flew toward the players.

Even a dragon couldn't escape the influence of the System.

A mere lava worm was affecting a White Dragon's power.

"Don't get in our way!"

A massive troll swung a hammer its own size.

Yu Dahui yelped and twisted her body.

"Slow."

Yu Dahui's sword cut the troll.

But trolls had monster-like regeneration.

Normal attacks were absorbed and endured.

Crack—! The Giant Lava Worm spat fire.

Flames far larger than a worm's breath swallowed the opponents behind the troll.

"Kyaaaaak!"

"Carrot!"

The troll checked his rear while harassing Yu Dahui.

From his mouth came a familiar name.

"Carrot?"

It was the name of the rabbit beastman on the first floor.

'Eh, no way.'

Summoned across countless dimensions.

There were so many people with the same name.

Even if called Carrot, it might not be the rabbit beastman.

In the flames, a player was leaping with two of them on his back.

"Carrot! You're safe!"

"Look this way, troll."

"These trash bastards! Carrot almost died!"

The troll's muscles twitched.

His size began to grow.

Saliva dripping, the troll swung the hammer.

Even faster and stronger than before.

"Carrooooot! Run away from here quick!"

"Gorogosh! Don't get excited! It's right in front of the boss monster!

It's dangerous!"

"What can I do!"

The troll decided to rush Yu Dahui.

He didn't land a hit, but his very presence was threatening.

"Isilia, handle Yu Dahui and harass the Lava Worm on your own."

"And you?"

"Me? I'll go look at that rabbit beastman's face."

"It's dangerous. I'll go with you."

"No need."

I pushed Isilia aside.

And I jumped toward the Carrot group, absorbing the life of the surrounding players.

Krooo—!

"Switch! Switch with me, Gorogosh!"

The ranting Giant Lava Worm.

Below it, the troll enduring the flames while drawing attention.

This party had two trolls.

For the troll, I left the Lava Worm to him and summoned a shadow spirit.

"Turn into the rabbit beastman from the first floor."

"Carrot."

"No need to fake it."

The rabbit beastman who had been desperately searching for Carrot transformed completely.

"Carrot! Carrot!"

Black hands pulled Carrot and her friends who were trying to run.

The guys tumbling.

The ones who had been harassing from behind.

Dark elves, druids, centaurs, all sorts.

I shouted toward Carrot.

"Carrot, do you have a dad?!"

Wrong word came out.

But eyes are faster than words.

The rabbit beastman called Carrot looked at the shadow spirit with a blank stare.

"Dad...?"

She muttered with a dazed face, as if seeing a ghost.

Her companions were even louder.

"Dad? Carrot, is that man your father...? But why PK...?"

"First, we need to run.

Humans might be winnable.

Taking him hostage to save Gorogosh..."

"Y-yes. Good idea. Move quickly!"

Carrot, who had been sitting stupidly, snapped to attention at the name Gorogosh.

In the blink of an eye, the formation became five against two.

'Possible?'

The four attached to the Lava Worm didn't seem likely to come this way.

Isilia was harassing the Lava Worm, but four second-floor players were all she'd manage.

Gorogosh was still far ahead of Yu Dahui.

But Gorogosh was clinging to her.

Yu Dahui was tied to Gorogosh.

I had to fight these five.

'Tough.'

Brain overload.

My head started to throb.

"Don't you want to meet your dad?"

"No way! Our dad would never hang out with trash humans like you!"

"Of course, this guy here isn't your dad..."

The shadow spirit returned to its original form.

Even the disguise used some stamina.

"Ah, whatever. Come on. Damn it!"

I didn't want to think anymore.

I was losing anyway, and if I regressed, I didn't have to fight.

Kiiiiiiieeeeeek—!

The Giant Lava Worm was going crazy again.

It was still a good life source.

Using the overflowing life for several black magic spells.

"Ugh, my body feels weird. Dizzy."

"Why do your faces look like that? Why four eyes?!"

"Kyyyyaaaaak!"

I couldn't kill Carrot.

Anyways, I was just letting her live peacefully.

Now this seemed ridiculous to someone.

But the rabbit beastman's face appeared, so I couldn't help it.

"Useless."

Even calling them idiots was fine.

I hadn't killed Carrot.

So next regression, I'd kill another one.

Black magic was a spell designed to completely break the opponent.

Even if physical power was weak, it specialized in destroying the mind.

Using the infinite life supplied from the boss monster, I put the Carrot group into a hypnotic state and knocked them out.

"Zzz..."

Now the only answer was one.

I jumped toward the Giant Lava Worm.

The troll and ogre shouted when they saw me.

"Carrot! Ramanda! Lowen! Human brat! What did you do to our comrades!"

"I put them to sleep over there."

I pointed at the Carrot group.

The ogre flared up.

"Kyyyyyyaaaak! All the flame resistance potions ran out aaak!"

Of course, me too.

"Kiiiiiieeeeeek! It's so hot!"

"Isilia!"

I had forgotten the flame resistance potion.

To fight the Giant Lava Worm, I had to buy a ton of expensive flame resistance potions from the shop.

But then Isilia's magic wrapped around my body.

Coldness extinguished the flames and cooled me.

"Sheeeeeet... I thought I was going to die..."

"Kyyyyaaaaak! Me too, please!"

The ogre complained about the pain.

Even an ogre going crazy from battle couldn't endure the pain of burning.

Isilia looked at me.

'Him too?'

She seemed to ask.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

I nodded.

And immediately cold magic was applied to the ogre.

"It's cool. No flames stick. With this, I can fight the guy all day!"

Like he had forgotten the pain from before, the ogre joyfully swung his axe.

The Giant Lava Worm was a big lava worm.

With flame resistance ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠potions, it wasn't too hard a fight.

Now he was using Isilia's magic instead.

Isilia could also operate her magic offensively.

"Ugh, it's hot..."

"I'll give you five shop points. Ice enchant on the weapon!"

"Five, five points?!"

Isilia wiped sweat and added ice property to my sword.

"Contribution farming time. Open your mouth!"

Isilia began actively helping with the Giant Lava Worm raid.

Thanks to that, hope for clearing appeared.

Once the troll and Yu Dahui joined, it would be easy to finish.

She wouldn't not know that.

Yu Dahui, who had come closer.

"What? What's going on? Why suddenly bossing?"

"There's the rabbit beastman's daughter over there."

Naturally, cold property was added to Yu Dahui's sword too.

Isilia smiled brightly while enchanting.

Sweat poured down.

Like I was sweating on my own body.

"So that's why I couldn't kill her?

To fill her quota, I had to take the boss."

"Haha... Anyway, when I regress, I die and then come back.

No standards, no standards."

"You couldn't kill the troll either.

Hurry and do contribution farming."

Yu Dahui smirked and pointed behind her.

"I got him."

"Whoa..."

Kugugug-!

The Lava Worm rolled its body largely.

The crater ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠area was covered in flames.

"Ice storm! One shop point!"

I was going to regress.

When I regressed, the shop would disappear anyway.

I sprinkled it a lot.

Isilia unleashed a large-scale magic over the crater.

A blizzard of snowflakes pouring toward the flames.

Kueeeeeek-!

Stabbed by ice, the heat cooled.

In a one-hit kill, the Giant Lava Worm roared roughly.

She had been draining life for ten minutes straight.

Its movements slowed.

"Finish! Finish!"

Trusting Isilia's magic, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I leaped onto the Giant Lava Worm.

"Rubber rubber machine gun!"

Twenty black fists pounded the Giant Lava Worm powerfully.

On the crimson crater, the Giant Lava Worm's corpse was finally made.

The Giant Lava Worm fell.

An awkward silence settled between us.

"Gorogosh...?"

The troll and ogre, orcs, who had been assessing the situation, heard news of one troll warrior.

They quickly realized the perpetrator was us.

"Y-you bastards!"

Just a while ago, comrades.

Now enemies.

Originally enemies.

Yu Dahui asked casually.

"Since I caught him, shall we go back?"

I nodded.

Yu Dahui fell with a plop.

The loops began again.
