Chapter 396: Regressor Instruction Manual (2)
“What was that just now? What kind of man gets hugged like a princess?”
“You saw that?”
“Of course I saw it. Why did you even go out and snoop like that? I didn’t think I had to tell you this, but your face is like a living provocation totem. And refrain from looking at him with bright eyes. That’s why those types of novels are sold even during times of war. Did you know that the percentage of female soldiers coming back alive is really high in the State? I don’t know if it’s a joke, but they said they couldn’t die because they had to wait for the next book. It’s helpful, but you know better than anyone that getting caught up in useless talk is bad…”
“What novel?”
“You don’t know?”
“I know, but what does that have to do with this…”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing. You can be so slow sometimes.”
“Huh?”
“You don’t have to worry about it. Anyway, did you get hurt?”
“No. Thanks to someone, I’m fine.”
“Take care of yourself. If it wasn’t for Hyunsung… sigh. Nevermind, just look at the screen. We have to keep showing the GPS. It would be better for you to do this. You understand Hyunsung better than me.”
“What screen is this?”
“It’s a magic hologram for tactic Kim Hyunsung. It’s in first-person because it’s difficult to follow the movements with a normal camera. The basic route is decided… all you have to do is show the GPS, take coordinates, and set targets. You can help in other small areas if you think it’s possible considering Hyunsung’s abilities. You know this. I wanted to do it, but I think you can do it better. I have to look at other branches as well.”
“You surely are prepared.”
“To use a tallboy, you have to prepare for it. Obviously, he still has limitations in physical strength and magic power. It’s better not to make him overdo it. I’ll also focus on that because the enemy doesn’t seem too easy.”
“We’re not being pushed back, right?”
“We’re not, but… It’s not that there are no anxiety factors at all. Right now, focus.”
“Okay.”
‘She’s definitely a successful bitch.’
It was enough to think about it.
I knew she was smart, but I never thought she would use that method.
Kim Hyunsung’s first-person view. Considering that my instructions were being delivered, I thought it was like playing a game.
A game where I felt like I was botting.
I didn’t have to control it. Our tactic weapon, Kim Hyunsung, automatically took care of the enemy.
‘I think this is okay… No, it’s awesome.’
Of course, Kim Hyunsung’s judgment on the battlefield could be trusted.
He was dozens of times more experienced in battle than I was. It was clear that he knew how to fight and how to eliminate the target.
But the story was different when it came to war as large as the one we were waging.
Kim Hyunsung’s vision was limited.
Unless they’re looking down from above, nobody would know for sure how the overall war was going.
He could get isolated from getting agitated alone, or he might not be able to see where he needed support from.
It was my role to assist him.
Kim Hyunsung was wearing one large-view camera and one personal camera.
I could bet no role suited me better than that.
It was even more so when I recalled that I might know more about his body than Kim Hyunsung himself.
‘Good.’
-I’ll get through right away.
“Yes, Hyunsung-ssi.”
Kim Hyunsung, who started running in earnest, couldn’t be judged by a commoner’s gaze.
Lee Jihye was right.
If it weren’t for his personal camera, I wouldn’t have even noticed how he was moving.
‘Is he really human?’
The surrounding scenery passed by very quickly.
Fast was an understatement to his speed.
He looked faster than a bullet train.
He unsheathed his sword in an instant, and the enemy’s limbs in front of him were blown away.
Before the parts of the enemy’s body fell to the ground, Kim Hyunsung was already elsewhere, his sword still in hand.
As soon as he swung, the enemies’ weapons and limbs flew in all directions. Of course, before they could come down from the sky, Kim Hyunsung had already reached his next destination.
-Tap, tap, tap, whoosh!
The reactions the enemies showed were different.
-Ahhhhhhhhh!
-What! What? What… what is this?!
-Stop him! Don’t let him come up! Block him as much as possible!
-Just now! Ahhhhhhhhh!
-Sh*t! Medic! Medic! Priests!!!
-What crazy situation is this?! Fuck!
He had an insane speed.
Rather, my reaction to guiding him felt slower.
It was hard to convey information to Kim Hyunsung.
‘He’s too fast.’
A101 at 11 o’clock.
-Done.
Then B21 at 9 o’clock.
-Done.
Change the route.
Southwest.
After arriving, kill the enemy wizard.
Immediately head to E point.
-Done.
He and his sword danced.
He had already reached the destination and eliminated the target before I could even say anything.
“Jihye, Lee Jihye.”
“…”
“Jihye!”
“Yes… Yes? What? I’m busy right now.”
“Send me a few more of the Goddess’s Mirrors. One for each point. Quickly.”
“Why?”
“I can’t check on him because he moves too fast. Quickly. I have to look a little wider.”
“W-Wait a second.”
“Okay.”
Lee Jihye immediately sent me mirrors that showed each point as if she had checked the situation over there.
Naturally, I moved my hands and eyes rapidly since it was being sent in real-time.
Since Kim Hyunsung moved faster than the speed at which I could roll my eyes, I had no choice but to do that.
It’s ridiculous enough to make me clear my throat.
I could bet that I could react that much because I was an eye user. If it were Lee Jihye, she would have had to give up midway.
I specified the coordinates and kept them displayed.
I set targets and figured out in real-time what battlefields needed our tactical nuclear weapon most.
‘It’s not enough. It’s fucking not enough. I’m not enough.’
I couldn’t follow Kim Hyunsung’s movement.
I had to deliver information constantly, but I couldn’t do that. I felt frustrated to death.
It felt like I picked up a Lamborghini as my first car without knowing how to drive.
I felt miserable not being able to fully utilize the lovely returner’s potential.
But there was no way I would give up.
As I moved my fingers, I constantly changed the battlefield’s position. I also ensured the personal screen that Kim Hyunsung was wearing didn’t stop moving.
I couldn’t give time for Kim Hyunsung to space out.
He would be suspicious of the orders I gave him if the guide who led him was clumsy.
‘My head hurts.’
I wasn’t a genius or even smart, for that matter.
By the time I felt that my brain wasn’t receiving the information I was receiving with my eyes, it started to get wet under my nose.
The scent of blood continued around my mouth.
It’s hard, but I felt like I wanted to praise myself just being able to follow Kim Hyunsung’s moves little by little.
I wanted to pat my head, but I didn’t have time for that.
Enemies were also sending out troops to respond to the tactical nuke.
But it was different.
-This motherfucker! Dieee!
The pig that appeared with pride was immediately put to rest when his throat was sliced open.
-Keep the shield magic up! Shield magic! Buy a little more time!
The guy who shouted and chanted had his wrist cut off and died right there.
I didn’t know how to distinguish between the one who killed and the one who didn’t get killed, but Kim Hyunsung seemed to have an exact feel for it.
Personally, I thought it would be nice to kill them all, but there was an advantage that came from leaving some simply wounded.
“The wizard casting in the 213.41 area has been confirmed. The target is assumed to be from the main unit.”
-Noted. I’ll finish this and deal with it.
“Next.”
-Done.
“Next.”
-Done.
“Next.”
-Done.
It’s quite a long distance, but I believed he would arrive on time.
As soon as he took out a dagger and threw it, the enemy’s shield magic was broken, and the small weapon impaled into the caster’s forehead.
-Done.
‘Fucking fast.’
However, that action just now consumed some magic power.
Of course, it didn’t show any effects yet, but it was efficient to save magic power if I thought about the future.
“You can slow down a little. Save your strength.”
-Okay.
‘Is that guy for real?’
What I was witnessing was the scenery our lovely returner was in front of.
I could see soldiers and some named faces with the monster that they cannot deal with.
Although I was simply looking through the screen, their breathing, Kim Hyunsung’s breath, and the sense of urgency of the scene were clearly conveyed.
It didn’t mean that there’s no danger, however.
Hundreds of arrows flew in at once, and platoons and magics organized to deal with Kim Hyunsung continued to intercept him.
Even though I wondered if he would have stepped back, It’s a spectacular sight to see him let their attacks slip by or get stopped.
I had never witnessed such a degree of godhood.
‘Isn’t he too strong? Isn’t that a breach of balance?’
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was a masterpiece created by the gods.
The pure awe of how a human could become so strong began to rise.
Avoid or cut.
Block or cut.
It’s incredible to see such a simple process repeated hundreds of times.
‘Right. That’s the exact expression.’
Most soldiers had their arms cut off without even being able to move a muscle, and even those who had reached a certain level couldn’t withstand the maximum ten moves.
It’s probably obvious what the enemy commander was thinking by now.
They must’ve thought that a moving nuke fell right in the middle of their troops.
It was natural to feel that way.
Even I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing with my own eyes.
It was then that I felt that the movement of the enemy troops changed a little.
‘They are starting to put some pressure.’
I could see that some of the visible troops, in general, were concentrated on Kim Hyunsung.
“Jihye.”
“…”
“Jihye!”
“… …”
“Honey! Honey!! Wife!!!”
“Yes? Yes? What?”
“Send one more priest and one more wizard. Only send named ones with a long maximum range. No, just create a list of local priests and wizards and send them to me.”
“A-are you okay?”
“What?”
“You have a nosebleed.”
“It’s okay. Send the list. Quickly.”
“O-okay. I-I guess you’re using it more than me…”
“Just show me the Goddess’s Mirror. Quickly.”
The Goddess’s Mirror that filled my vision- no, the magic hologram, was spectacular in its own way.
“I don’t know if we should create an instruction manual for this,”
I muttered to myself, but somehow I felt like that was really needed.
“That would be fun. What would be the title?”
I didn’t answer, but I repeated the right title to myself.
‘Regressor Instruction Manual.’
‘That’s it! Hyunsung! I love you!! Fuck!!’
