Where did I go wrong?
Yoosung’s expression faintly distorted at the sudden appearance of the girl who was supposed to be far away.
“I think I misunderstood a person, but I’m just an ordinary archer… … .”
“Don’t be fooled. Because I clearly confirmed with my own eyes that arrows flew from here. Not only this surprise attack, but all the arrows that have flown so far, as well as the arrows that killed Jia on the first day, were all of you, right?”
‘It was a trap. Somehow, it seemed like he was easily defeated.’
Yooseong, who was slowly backing away, stopped walking while clicking his tongue at the sight of the girl who was approaching exactly as much as he had stepped back.
The girl’s skills are comparable to those of top rankers.
Although he was tired from the continuous battle, he was not an opponent he could afford to be vigilant against.
‘yes? for a moment. something weird? A person with such skills, and an assassin in particular, approached so sloppily?’
If the girl had made up her mind, she would have been able to stab a knife into her defenseless back.
However, the girl didn’t do that and made her presence known by deliberately making footsteps.
There are two possibilities I can think of.
One is when you are so tired that you can’t hide your presence, and the other is… … .
visor!
The moment the meteor’s pupils shone with a faint golden light, the girl, thinking that an arrow would fly, drew a dagger from her waist and took a defensive posture.
I don’t know if the distance is far away, but if it’s this much distance, there won’t be time to reload the arrows, so I decided to attack after blocking the arrows.
The girl’s judgment was half right and half wrong.
It was true that there was no time to reload the arrow, but what Yooseong was aiming for was something other than the girl.
“Hey, wait!”
Seeing Yoosung aiming her bow at the wrong direction instead of herself, the girl let out a scream close to screaming.
However, the arrow had already left the demonstration.
“aaagh!”
As soon as the arrow pierced the shadow nearby, a desperate scream echoed and a boy appeared.
The contemplative girl rushed at the boy, but this time Yooseong was one step faster.
Yuseong, who tightly wrapped his arms around the boy’s neck, said while looking at the girl who had become as hard as a rock.
“Drop your weapon.”
“… … .”
“I don’t speak twice. Drop your weapon.”
“aaagh!”
As he touched the arrow stuck in his side with his free arm, another scream erupted from the boy’s mouth.
The moment the girl hesitated and heard the boy scream, she dropped the dagger she was holding in both hands to the floor.
“Take off all your equipment and throw it this way.”
“Before that, promise me you won’t kill my brother.”
“Do you think you are in a situation where you can make such a condition?”
Seeing the boy’s complexion turning white, the girl bit her lip and took off the equipment she was wearing one by one and started tossing it.
‘It was almost dangerous.’
Yuseong let out a sigh of relief.
If I hadn’t remembered the existence of the boy who always accompanied the girl, it would have been like dropping ashes on the finished rice.
After disabling the girl’s equipment, Yooseong then disarmed all of the boy’s equipment as well.
After a while, a girl wearing only a thin layer of clothing opened her mouth.
“What are you going to do with us?”
“Well. For safety reasons, I think it would be better to just kill it like this.”
“… … Help me. No, it’s okay to kill me, so please save me at least my younger brother.”
“Oh no! Kill me and save my sister!”
-Hmmmm, how about letting them live?
Yuseong, who was looking at the siblings with indifferent eyes, twitched his eyebrows at Kim Hyun-jun’s sudden request.
‘What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?’
– Aren’t they still kids?
‘It looks like a high school student, but what about a kid? And if only these children are saved, what will happen to those who have died so far?’
-I don’t have anything to say, but… … . It doesn’t seem like a kid though.
I could understand what Kim Hyeon-joon was thinking when he said this, but that was common sense that was used in society, not common sense in this crazy world where people killed and killed each other.
If it had been him who was present here, he would not have shown mercy because he was a minor.
However, it is the client who is here, not himself.
In the end, Yoosung decided to follow the will of the client as he had done until now.
‘Still, it’s a waste to just skip it.’
Although she was overpowered for nothing because of the hostage, the girl was a top-notch assassin with skills that could not be found even among top rankers.
While thinking about how to use the girl, Yooseong inadvertently turned his head when he heard a huge explosion.
The battle between regressors and rankers is reaching its climax.
Yuseong’s eyes narrowed as he watched the battle.
“What is your name?”
“… … I’m Lee Ha-eun.”
“great. Haeun Lee. If you do one thing, I will save your brother’s life.”
“What happened?”
“Nothing. So… … .”
* * *
It’s the first time I’ve ever had such a tough fight.
I feel pain as if someone pricked me with a needle in my head, my eyelids drooped down all the time, and my body felt as heavy as cotton soaked in water.
He is barely holding on thanks to his mental strength trained through all kinds of battlefields for decades and his body strengthened by various hidden pieces.
Caang!
‘Where did I go wrong?’
Han Sang-jin, who cut off the sword that flew right in front of his eyes, asked himself a question he did not know how many times.
everything went smoothly
He attracted people with outstanding potential as his allies, obtained all sorts of hidden pieces with information only a regressor could know, and made tremendous progress for himself and all party members.
However, after catching the boss monster and returning to the village, things started to go strangely.
‘Shouldn’t have picked up those items?’
After thinking for a moment, Han Sang-jin shook his head.
If I could go back to that time, I would make the same choice.
There was nothing wrong with the item itself.
The problem was the existence of the dropped item.
‘That was a trap someone set for me. Even if I ignored the items and went back to the village, someone would have targeted me in a different way. Who the hell is that someone?’
After returning to the past, he had no ties with anyone except for his party members.
Whether it was a good relationship or a bad relationship, there was no person who had a relationship at all, so it was impossible to guess about someone’s identity.
I could only guess the purpose.
That someone is aiming for the destruction of himself and the rankers.
If the victory was inclined to one side or the other, someone must intervene and return the pendulum to its original state.
‘Are you a regressor like me? But why is the regressor targeting me? Are you trying to get rid of it now because you think it will be a competitor in the future? if not… … .’
Han Sang-jin shook his head.
I couldn’t think about it because of the headache that was getting worse.
There is only one thing you can do now.
All they had to do was hold on until the brother and sister who went to catch that someone returned.
“haha.”
But even that was slowly reaching its limits.
Not to mention physical strength, the overwhelming skills that made it possible to endure until now were also slowly narrowing down according to the growth of rankers.
Zeng!

Joy and sorrow crossed the faces of Han Sang-jin and Ha Seo-joon with a harsh metal sound.
A sword that bounced in the wrong direction.
Ha Seo-joon’s spear was shot toward a minute gap that was revealed in an instant.
A crisis of desperation.
At that moment, something unexpected happened.
puck!
A person fell to the floor with a dull sound digging into his flesh.
“… … uh?”
With an arrow stuck in the back of his head, Ha Seo-joon turned into light and disappeared, and everyone, including Han Sang-jin, made a stupid sound.
“I have a colleague! all around… … .”
puck!
Someone who came to his senses tried to give an order, but an arrow flew from somewhere and pierced his neck.
Those who realized the situation belatedly raised their weapons and were wary of arrows that could come from anywhere, but the next attack came from below, not from above.
Seruk.
With the sound of grass rustling, thorny vines rose from the ground and began snatching people’s ankles.
The thorny vines had only a few seconds to bind a high ranker.
seconds.
It was an overflowing time that wasn’t enough to make the difference between winning and losing.
Han Sang-jin’s head is blown off by the sword he wields, and an arrow from the other side of the mountain pierces a vital point.
The people who managed to get out of the thorny vines realized that the war had weakened and tried to run away, but countless arrows flew towards their backs as if they would not let a single person go.
Kwakwagwagwagwang!
Explosions and roars incessantly.
When the seemingly infinite barrage of arrows stopped, all that remained were numerous pits and equipment piled up in them.
Han Sang-jin, who was left alone, instead of being happy, hid himself in a nearby tree and looked at the place where the arrow flew with sharp eyes.
‘The fact that the attack came means that Ha-eun failed. There’s no way he suddenly changed his mind to save me… … . Did he decide that he was weak enough to be able to catch it by himself, even if he didn’t bother him anymore?’
Awesome!
Han Sang-jin, who gritted his teeth until he heard a noise, straightened his sword and stood up.
Anger beyond imagination forced the body to move at its limit.
‘I can’t die alone because it’s unfair. I will take you to the other side of the world no matter what.’
“brother! brother!”
Han Sang-jin, who was trying to burn his vitality, inadvertently poked his head out of the tree at the unexpected voice.
‘Lee Ha-eun?’
Han Sang-jin, who was embarrassed by the incomprehensible situation, opened his mouth to wake up to the voice he heard again.
“Stop there! Don’t come any closer!”
“Oh, brother?”
“Tell me everything that happened!”
Even though her younger sister, who was always attached to her, showed up proudly without being seen, not even an arrow flew toward Lee Ha-eun.
Han Sang-jin, who imagined the worst case, sighed in relief after hearing Lee Ha-eun’s explanation.
“… … You took him hostage?”
“Yes. Ha Joon is completely controlling it.”
“Such, that attack… … .”
“My brother looked dangerous, so I told him to put in some strength.”
After hesitating for a moment, Han Sang-jin cautiously came out from behind the tree.
Han Sang-jin, who confirmed that the arrow did not fly after a long time, let out a breath that he had been holding back as he leaned against a nearby tree, as if he had finally relaxed.
“… … Where are you hurt?”
“It’s just that the fatigue that has accumulated over the years has come all at once. You will get better if you rest for a while.”
“I will help you.”
“it’s okay.”
“Ah, it looks like getting up alone is too much for you, so lean on it for a second.”
“No, are you really okay?”
You can just sit back and rest, but what kind of support is that?
However, at Lee Ha-eun’s continued request, Han Sang-jin eventually reached out as if he couldn’t win.
Kwak.
‘sweat?’
The feeling of dampness and faintly trembling hands that you can feel as you hold your palms together.
The survival instinct, trained for many years, was warning me to let go of this hand and step back right now.
If I had only a little more stamina left, if I hadn’t relaxed, I would have been able to move my body according to the warnings of my instincts.
However, Han Sang-jin’s stamina showed the floor, and once the tension was released, the body did not move as expected.
Fu-wook!
“Cheuk… … .”
A dagger that pierced through the heart and came out of the back.
Han Sang-jin, who opened his mouth as if to say something, fell to the floor, regurgitating bubbles of blood, just like Yoo Ji-ah, who died first.
At the last moment, there was only one thought that filled Han Sang-jin’s head.
‘… … Where did I go wrong?’
