run away
Two daggers and a pair of shoes.
Even without a separate appraisal, I could see that it was an item that was never lacking compared to the items I picked up earlier.
“Anyway, this is very strange.”
“I am rather relieved. Previously, it was a warrior’s equipment, this time it was a thief’s equipment. I don’t know the motive, but if the bandit attacked the warrior first and fatally wounded him, and the warrior counterattacked and fatally wounded the bandit, then this situation could be explained perfectly.”
“How would you explain the distance between the two items?”
“Both of them didn’t die right away, they were alive for a while. They died while running away from each other, so there was a distance between the items. What do you think?”
“… … ”
The girl said nothing.
It wasn’t because I was convinced by Han Sang-jin’s guess.
No, Han Sang-jin’s claim was not even speculation in the first place.
It’s just a delusion put together to convince myself that there’s nothing wrong with this item and that it’s okay to take it.
Despite this obvious fact, the girl did not refute Han Sang-jin’s argument for one reason.
‘My brother in this state won’t listen to anything I say.’
Han Sang-jin thinks he is right.
It’s not that other people don’t have that tendency.
However, there was a crucial difference between the two. Unlike people who compromise with reality, Han Sang-jin absolutely believes that he is right at all times and in any situation.
As if he had seen the future, he was convinced that other people’s thoughts were wrong and only his own was right. As a result, Han Sang-jin’s decisions always turned out to be correct.
In the beginning, they had discussions and refuted the claims, but as Han Sang-jin always made the right decisions, the girl and others got used to moving according to his orders rather than thinking for themselves.
“If it’s my brother, then that’s it. So, are you going to take this too?”
“Of course. I like this one better than your dagger, do you want to change it?”
The weapon he is currently holding is the hidden piece Han Sang-jin found.
I felt uncomfortable once again that a weapon stronger than that was dropped in a place like this, but I decided to trust Han Sang-jin’s judgment, as I had always done.
“Then thank you.”
The small sense of incongruity disappeared like snow melting the moment he accepted the dagger thrown by Han Sang-jin.
Move started again.
After a while, a third item appeared that I was now familiar with.
“Looks like several people were arguing, not two.”
Han Sang-jin came up with a new guess and everyone agreed.
The items that came out this time were staff, priestly clothes, and veils, and since they were perfect for the priest Yoo Ji-ah, he wore a veil with better performance than the one he was originally wearing.
After that, the same pattern was repeated.
Items are discovered, guesses are changed, equipment is replaced.
When the bag was full enough to carry it around, everyone other than the girl started to notice that something was wrong, but no one said it.
As always, I thought Han Sang-jin might have some thoughts.
‘great. With this, I can achieve the [Rejection] achievement! No, not just achievements. With the money I get from selling these items, I can advance my plan by at least a year!’
Han Sang-jin had only two thoughts.
You can’t make the wrong choice yourself.
All of your choices are correct, and even if you have problems, you can overcome them.
In general, this is not wrong.
He was a regressor who knew about the future.
However, Han Sang-jin overlooked two facts.
One is that the future changes.
As long as the regressor does not follow the exact same path as in the past before regressing, the future will change due to the changes caused by the regressor.
And the other was the presence of unexpected uninvited guests.
fault.
Faint footsteps heard in the distance.
Even if you are distracted by other things, your body moves reflexively.
The moment Han Sang-jin’s hand flashed, the half-moon-shaped sword flew towards the place where the sound came from.
“Ugh!”
A faint groan could be heard over the sound of cut branches falling to the ground.
I wondered if it was too much of an overreaction, but in this world, too much was better than too little.
‘If they show up, they treat them, and if they run away, they send them off.’
The uninvited guest’s choice was neither of the two.
Dig!
A faint light rose up into the air from the other side, and soon began to fall slowly, emitting a brilliant light like a flare.
“boundary!”
The flare has only two uses.
to light up the darkness and to send out signals.
Neither of them was a very positive situation for them, and soon, as expected, they began to feel the presence in the distance.
At first, I thought it was a monster that attacked people in the middle of the night.
However, Han Sang-jin soon realized that he was wrong.
Bubbly.
Numerous people who appeared with the sound of footsteps.
Some of them were faces in Han Sang-jin’s memory.
‘The man on the left is the spear master Ha Seo-jun, and the one next to him is the frozen mage Yoo Seok-won. Could that be Kang Chul-hyeon, a special watering canal? Besides that, I see some familiar faces. What the hell is going on? I don’t think this has ever happened before?’
I couldn’t understand why people who grew up to make a name for themselves in a region or city, even less than those they had picked, had appeared in the middle of a forest like this with so many people.
“Do we have any business?”
“Of course I have something to look at. Where did you get that gear you guys are wearing right now?”
“I picked up something that fell on the road. Is there any problem?”
“Pick it up on the street? under!”
Han Sang-jin answered confidently without shrinking from Ha Seo-joon’s questioning, which seemed to growl.
He had confidence in his own strength, but a bigger reason than that was that he thought he hadn’t done anything wrong.
‘It seems that a large-scale battle took place. The items you found on the way here were dropped by those who were defeated, and they won, but the damage was so great that they retreated for a while and now they came to collect the loot? Are they angry because we took items they thought were theirs? That’s ridiculous.’
Han Sang-jin smiled dejectedly after reasoning at the people staring at the equipment he and his companions were wearing.
“Smile? Is this bastard really crazy?”
Ha Seo-joon rotated the spear on his back and stabbed at Han Sang-jin’s vital point.
However, rather than Ha Seo-joon’s spear touching Han Sang-jin’s body, Han Sang-jin skillfully dug into Ha Seo-joon and hit him in the chest with the handle of his sword.
bang!
With a sound like a bomb exploding, Ha Seo-joon’s new model flew dozens of meters back.
The technique of latecomer preemption, in which the later attack hits first than the earlier attack.
Even the life that spewed out at the last moment.
It is clear that those present here must have recognized the move they had just made.
No matter how much he coveted the item, it was clear that if he showed this much difference in skill, he wouldn’t be able to dare to tackle it anymore.
“That bastard… … No, kill all those bastards!”
“You bastard thief!”
However, people’s choice was the exact opposite of Han Sang-jin’s expectations.
He spat out curse words from his mouth, drew his weapon, and smoked a bloody murder as if he were about to attack at any moment.
‘what. Why are you all like this? Was it some strange drug?’
Something is strange.
I don’t know if it’s after falling to the continent and rolling happily for a few months.
Ten days was too short a time for a person living in a peaceful world to be reborn as a warrior who would fight even death.
It was even more so when it was not just one person, but so many people.
“… … ”
“… … ”
They aimed their weapons at each other and sprayed death, but that was the last line.
If it’s still there, everything up until now can be dismissed as nothing and somehow it can be crossed, but if life is taken from the sight of blood, from then on both sides will cross a river that cannot cross each other.
Is it better to fight or not to fight?
“There seems to be a misunderstanding… … .”
Fit!
At that moment, an arrow suddenly flew towards Yoo Ji-ah’s forehead.
An involuntary raid.
Han Sang-jin easily hit the arrow, but the special arrow, not the normal arrow, caused a spectacular explosion upon impact, distracting both sides for a moment. At that moment, an unfamiliar voice resonated among the people.
“내 아이템 내놔, 이 개새끼야!”
Those words became the fuse.
As soon as people who were hesitant heard the word item, they gnashed their teeth and started attacking Han Sang-jin’s party.
Cagaga River!
Han Sang-jin easily blocked the attacks of the top rankers.
Although there was a basic skill difference between Han Sang-jin and the rankers, the difference in item performance played a decisive role.
Han Sang-jin, who wrapped himself in all sorts of rare items and wore better-performing equipment among the equipment he had just accidentally picked up, boosted his power.
And rankers whose strength has plummeted as they lost 3 of their main equipment due to some circumstances.
Han Sang-jin was fighting an overwhelming battle against a number of top rankers.
However, the condition of the other side was not so good.
kang! Kakang!
“Kuk!”
“Wait a minute! I’ll treat you now… … Yay!”
“Jia sister!”
In terms of individual strength, it was true that Han Sang-jin’s party members also had an advantage over ordinary rankers, but that was all they had.
They hadn’t polished their swordsmanship for decades like Han Sang-jin, were not familiar with interpersonal combat, and didn’t have much combat experience.
They knew nothing about how to deal with the overwhelming numerical inferiority.
At least, it is still holding up because of the obvious difference in specifications.
‘I have to get out of here once.’
Han Sang-jin gritted his teeth.
It’s not a big deal to fight alone, but if all the friends you’ve gathered die in the meantime, the damage is indescribable.
Those who grow into heroes who will shake the continent in the future.
Not a single person could be lost.
Kaga gaga river!
Han Sang-jin instantaneously created a sword technique to parry all incoming attacks and began to randomly slice through rankers who were threatening the party from behind.
It is unlikely that ordinary rankers could stop a regressor that even high rankers could not block.
In an instant, blood and screams were rampant, and a corner of the siege collapsed.
“brother!”
A gap created the moment the tension was released.
It was impossible to recognize and aim for the gap because the moment when the gap occurred was only a moment, but if you waited for the gap in advance, the story would be different.
Tung!
With a heavy bouncing sound, a specially designed assassination arrow flew towards one of the party.
The moment the arrow was shot, Han Sang-jin and the middle-aged man instinctively felt the danger and threw their bodies, but their response was too late.
Fu-wook!
An arrow deeply lodged in the neck stem.
Yoo Ji-ah opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something with a dazed face, but she immediately fell to the floor spewing bloody foam.
“No, no, no!”
“brother! This is not the time! Run away!”
“Now! Siege!”
Han Sang-jin and his companions are shocked.
And the only girl who comes to her senses and rushes to escape before the encirclement is completed.
However, before the encirclement was completed, an obstacle came in.
“More, vines?!”
“What is this? Somebody unlock this!”
While the vines grabbed the ankles of the rankers and took the time, Han Sang-jin, who came to his senses at the girl’s urging, took one look at Yoo Ji-ah, who was turning into light, and then, biting his lip to the point of bleeding, took the party and disappeared into the forest.
And on the other side, Yooseong with a bow was laughing as they ran away.
“Yeah, try running away somewhere.”
this is not a game
