Regressor's Instruction Manual Episode 908
"That's such a ridiculous story! Suddenly appearing and..."
"Just wait until you hear the situation. Vice guild Master."
"What is it? If you're coming to tell me like this..."
"The exact time is still under investigation, but it was around 9:11 a.m. this morning. The monster's initial appearance was pinpointed within a 1km radius of the capital clock tower. The area was completely paralyzed due to the sudden appearance of the monster, and there were many casualties and victims..."
"You don't have to report in such a formal manner. Just tell me the main points quickly, Hyejin. Is it true that a monster appeared in the capital, causing significant damage?"
"Yes. Thanks to Park Deok-gu, An Gi-mo, and Kim Ye-ri, who were nearby, we were able to minimize the damage, but..."
'Why were they even there?'
Cho Hye-Jin, who was examining my expression, said.
"Park Deok-gu organized a capital exploration..."
'Why would they suddenly go on a capital exploration? Isn't it just an excuse to have fun?'
"They were having a team dinner at a pub near the clock tower the night before."
"Why have a team dinner in the morning?"
"From the previous night... continuously..."
"They caught the monster while drunk? This idiot..."
"What's their current condition?"
"They were seriously injured at the time, but they have since recovered and can go about their daily lives without any problems."
"That guy is unbelievably resilient. Damn."
It's incredible how they went on a capital exploration and had a drinking party until morning, but it's even more surprising that they managed to fight a monster in that state. I can almost sense why Park Deok-gu himself didn't report it; he must be worried about getting scolded.
He probably thought there wouldn't be any issues.
As for why a monster suddenly appeared in the heart of the city, I don't know, but those three are at a level that can be considered top adventurers on the continent. In fact, it's more surprising that Park Deok-gu was injured.
Maybe they were higher level than I thought.
Currently, Park Deok-gu doesn't even flinch at attacks from most monsters. Even if his durability score has reached its limit, his armor is equipped with various functions.
Watching over Jeong Ha-yan and Han Sora, I was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. But it seemed like Kim Ye-ri and An Gi-mo fulfilled their roles even amidst the chaos.
"You should see it for yourself rather than just hearing about it."
"Well, they caused such a commotion there, so people were probably filming everything. There might even be footage of people who died."
The image of the Goddess's Mirror comes to mind, and I immediately go to the video tab.
"Blue Guild Members vs. Monster" and similar search terms are starting to rank high.
The video starts playing right at that moment.
-What the hell is going on!
-That's right. The monster...
-Yes, it seems like a monster. We probably drank too much alcohol.
Three people who look clearly drunk are visible. No, why is Kim Ye-ri like that? Is she even allowed to drink?
- "A-All three of us seem to be having hallucinations, or... could it be a dream You both appeared in my dream?
- "First, we have to take down the monster."
- "I will cast the divine spell. Let's be serious about this."
An Gi-Mo's statement, stumbling while trying to be serious, lacks conviction.
While the capital guards control the area, Park Deok-gu lets out a fierce roar and charges at the monster.
In the meantime, the overall appearance of the monster is captured on camera.
Giant in size, with a grotesque face and an unnatural body—whatever you call it, it's certainly different from other monsters.
A pair of white wings extending from its back. Ugh... This creature's appearance is definitely eerie.
-Physical magic!
- "Then do I play the role of a berserker addicted to blood?"
- "Enchanting Dance."
'Damn, stop it already. I can't go outside my neighborhood because of you.'
- "Oooo!"
- "Not that easy..."
- "I think I need to focus a bit."
- "Enchanting Dance. 2nd Movement. Rite of Passage."
'Ye-ri, are you out of your mind?'
- "Just wait... It's stronger than I thought. Wait! Ouch!"
- "Enchanting Dance. 3rd Movement. Shimmering Wind."
- "Kim Ye-ri! When you're doing the Enchanting Dance..."
- "Enchanting Dance. 4th Movement. Fatal Temptation."
- "Euhak!"
"This video... After I watch it, take it down, and those three will have to write a letter of explanation, no, a self-reflection, with ten pages each to submit."
"It's already spreading as people share it..."
- "Enchanting Dance, Jin, Oh, Kim Ye-ri, no need for other qualifiers. Awakening. Succubus Mode."
"That's right. Damn, then it's best to keep it for a lifetime. We should see how they looked at this moment."
- "Kkuyak! Physical Martial Arts. Vajra Fire!"
- "Frenzied Hunger. Berserk!"
- "Eueueuaaak! Physical Martial Arts. Thousand Weight Throw!"
"No, I'll make them pay fines. I'll impose the highest level of punishment that the guild can administer in my name. Salary deduction and return their equipment for two months. As for the fines... yes, make them pay 100,000 gold each."
"A good choice, Vice guild Master."
That damn pig, look at him hanging on. Did he get hurt that time?
I saw Park Deok-gu being slammed against the wall, but then he quickly got up, and I felt relieved. His bones might have broken at that time.
The three of them continue to fight the monster, spouting nonsense, and they look on the verge of danger, but they haven't forgotten their roles.
Frontliner Park Deok-gu faces the monster head-on, while Kim Ye-ri deals damage, utilizing Park Deok-gu.
An Gi-mo supports Park Deok-gu and provides divine power, a typical combat pattern for the three siblings.
Kim Ye-ri's agile movements, darting around while swaying like she's drunk, are remarkable. She climbs up the monster's back with her dagger.
Moving between buildings, it connected the wires on their wrists to the clock tower and started flying above the city.
'It's almost like a one-man show...'
The guards and adventurers also seemed prepared, as they took positions and shot arrows from afar.
The creature waved its arms excitedly, but Park Deok-gu grabbed onto one of them.
Kim Ye-ri climbed onto the creature's arm and began slashing with her dagger, effectively ending the battle. As long as the creature didn't recover, it was as good as defeated.
"It's divine power."
"Yes, it's divine power. There are other videos uploaded by different adventurers after this."
"Well, there's no need to watch them. Other adventurers must have participated too, and while there were some casualties, they successfully defeated the monster. That's right, isn't it?"
"Yes, Vice guild Master. Additionally, we brought the monster's body here. I thought you might be curious."
"Good timing. We were preparing something similar ourselves. There used to be a secret agreement, but it doesn't matter now that the entire nation knows. During the Rafael Party, we hunted a similar monster nearby. Although its appearance was slightly different, the core seemed the same."
"..."
"The Holy Sword Knights believe it's related to the dungeon... and I don't think my opinion differs much."
"Indeed... it's more comfortable to consider it an anomaly caused by the dungeon."
"Yes."
"Vice guild Master..."
"They're helping. When they have some spare time, I'll invite them to a meeting. It's been a while since I've seen Hye-jin."
The long hair is still tied up, and the armor is quite dazzling, but seeing that the bonobo color is entering the point, I realized that everyone had their own taste.
Of course, the spear of the god of sacrifice and resurrection from the was still there...
Although I could communicate in other ways, it seemed that meeting in person and talking was more convenient.
"It's probably a dungeon beyond their level. We estimate the difficulty to be around Mythical level. It's hard to simply call it an anomaly caused by the dungeon, considering the level of the monster that appeared. If we don't resolve it, more similar creatures might appear. Where is the monster's corpse?"
"It's on its way here, Vice guild Master."
"Then let's go together to the location where the Holy Sword Knights' party defeated the monster. Oh, by the way, I didn't ask about this earlier. I happened to see it on Benigore Net..."
"Yes?"
"It seems that a man and Hye-jin in blue were on a date..."
"What..."
"Have you checked Benigore Net recently? Well, it's probably just a cold trail now..."
"....."
"Ah!"
She widened her eyes as if she had realized something.
Quietly, I nodded in realization.
"It wasn't a date."
"?"
"We just had a meal together. I accidentally hurt his griffon. He asked me to have a meal with him as compensation. He said he was already satisfied... and that I was rude and vulgar. It was really embarrassing. His name was Lee Ji-ho, I think... Well, never mind, it's not important." [[Lee Ji-Hye did her thing again lol]
'Why is Ji-ho's name suddenly being mentioned?'
As Hye-jin spoke, her expression revealed that it wasn't a pleasant memory.
"Be careful. There are many strange people out there. Some might try to take advantage of our innocent Hye-Jin."
"That's what I thought too. From the beginning, the strange compliments... Well, that's enough about that. Vice guild Master let's go now. Oh! And you should make an official statement too."
"What kind of statement?"
"The recent events. Oscar-nim and Pope Basel officially requested it. A monster using divine power..."
Well, it's understandable. It hasn't been long since the continental dungeon was cleared. Many citizens might be anxious, wondering if there might be another judgment from the gods. They might be worried that they haven't been forgiven yet. It's best to make an official statement to reassure the people and fix the atmosphere before it becomes even more chaotic. Hye-jin is right.
Cho Hye-jin and Rafael Party continued to walk, and we arrived at the place where the monster's body was being dissected.
Han Sora, who had come back after their private conversation, was watching closely, and Jung Ha-Yan was also there, subtly keeping an eye on her.
"Ha-yan, are you feeling better?"
"Ah... yes... well, I'm still a bit tired, but..."
"You can rest inside if you want."
"No, no. Oh, and Hye, Hye-jin, you're here."
"Yes. Jung Ha-yan, greetings to you too."
Yes. It's been a while. We rarely meet since we have different assignments. I think we should plan a gathering for all of us to meet again.
"Sora, please call the Raphael Party. The situation seems to have changed."
"Okay."
As we entered the entrance, the first thing we saw was Dominion dismembering the monster's body.
It's grotesque appearance, covered in something strange on its face.
I greeted them and awkwardly waved. Thronus was nearby, scouting the area.
Then, from somewhere far away, a loud noise was heard.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo!"
With a loud crash, Raphael burst in.
"Hyung, are you okay? Let's go to a safe place... "
Nothing has happened yet. We heard a loud noise from far away. What could happen here? Besides, isn't there Sera and Cherubim over there?
-Che, Cheru! Look at that! If we take it with us, maybe Father will forgive us, because we put up the flag. Yeah, I guess not. Father won't forgive."
I don't have to sympathize with him.
-...
Don't sympathize with him either.
