All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 017

Even when Shin Hyeok went to the map center, the viewers thought he would die without being able to overcome this wave.

-He definitely seems to have skill, but he’s a bit arrogant.

-Yeah; he’s just a frog in a well who doesn’t know how wide the world is.

-I hope this defeat will make him humble from next time.

Since it was a place where hundreds of enemies appeared, it was an inevitable outcome.

However, when the enemies subsequently revealed themselves, they could see that nothing in the world was one hundred percent certain.

-…What is that?

-Is it a class ability? Or a trait? A skill?

The Heaven-Destroying Roc Fist that was heard after the words “Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Style.”

Watching the fist imbued with a massive roc that destroys the heavens sweep away dozens of orcs in one blow, the viewers couldn’t help but be shocked.

The debate over whether it was a class ability, trait, or skill was brief.

“Rise.”

At Shin Hyeok’s short command, dozens of orc corpses were reborn as undead.

“Devour.”

Crunch!

Of course, he didn’t forget to devour the remaining corpses either.

Since the amount was quite small and his stats had just increased, there was no additional stat increase, but Shin Hyeok was satisfied that his consumed mana rapidly filled up.

-Wow, what was that ability where he just ate the corpses?

-Punching and corpse-eating abilities.

-What’s even more amazing is that there are many other abilities besides that one ㄷㄷ

-For real, he handles various weapons well, does necromancy, uses magic, and now crazy powerful punching and corpse eating too?

However, the viewers who watched it all were not like that at all.

The abilities Shin Hyeok had shown so far were more than enough to be called a super rookie.

But the two abilities he showed this time were on a completely different level from his previous abilities.

Punches that turned dozens of orcs into pulp in one blow.

Even devouring those orcs.

Of course, in the case of devouring, they didn’t know exactly what effect it had, but the sight alone was overwhelming enough that it wasn’t a problem.

After that, things went smoothly.

Thud- Thwack- Thud- Thwack!

All enemies pouring out from the Black Gate were destroyed by the undead army that Shin Hyeok commanded.

Of course, not all orcs were like that.

-Squeal!

Among them, there were orcs that broke through the undead army and aimed for Shin Hyeok, the caster.

Whoosh- Thwack!

-…Gah!

But that was all.

As soon as they escaped the undead army, they had to meet their end with arrows that flew in and precisely pierced their foreheads.

Orcs falling with thuds.

They had to choose between being revived as undead or being devoured by Shin Hyeok’s devouring.

Naturally, the choice was also Shin Hyeok’s, not theirs.

[Wave 4 has ended.]

[Current enemies defeated: 852]

“Not bad.”

In the end, Shin Hyeok, who had passed Wave 4 at the map center without any trouble, smiled at the number of enemies defeated, which was clearly different from Wave 3.

Having killed over 300 more, it was no exaggeration to say that Quest success was guaranteed once he finished Wave 5.

5,000 Achievement points.

While it wasn’t an enormous amount, its value was certainly great since it couldn’t be obtained even with money.

“Now only Wave 5 remains.”

-Ah, no… my new S5…!

-Looking at this, doesn’t Wave 5 success seem guaranteed too?

-Yeah, if he can use that punch attack from earlier again, it seems likely

-Damn, I already put on a diaper because I might wet myself.

-Gross;;

Seeing Shin Hyeok’s relaxed appearance with only the final Wave 5 remaining, the viewers instinctively felt that he was confident about clearing Wave 5.

And that soon became reality.

“Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Style – Heaven-Destroying Roc Fist.”

[Wushen swallows his admiration.]

[All the Apex of Evil takes interest in your strength.]

Once again, Wushen’s technique unfolded in Shin Hyeok’s hands.

“Devour. Rise.”

Shin Hyeok used devouring to replenish his depleted mana and stamina, then raised the remaining corpses again.

An undead army already numbering in the hundreds, beyond just a hundred, moved to finish the final Wave 5.

[Wave 5 has ended.]

[Current enemies defeated: 1,248]

“Passed it comfortably.”

And the result that followed was as expected.

1,248 enemies.

Shin Hyeok smiled with satisfaction at the result that exceeded the Quest’s target of 1,000 by as many as 200.

-Ahh… in the end…

-But isn’t this the first time reaching Wave 5 in Silver?

-LOL is the 5th wave the problem right now?

-For real, I held out in the center of the map from wave 3 to wave 5 lol;;

-At this level, isn’t he worthy of being called a real super rookie?

-Hey, call him Super Rookie ‘sir’

The viewers watching Shin Hyeok’s broadcast also had no choice but to acknowledge this result.

Especially the fact that he survived Wave 5.

And the fact that he survived it at the map center meant that even those who hadn’t acknowledged Shin Hyeok had no choice but to acknowledge him.

“Now that the waves are over and the Quest is complete, I’ll end today’s broadcast here. Oh, the nineteen people who bet on Wave 5, I’ll draw three people through a lottery, so don’t worry about being cheated.”

-Ahh…

-What I didn’t get, I didn’t get, but it’s sad that the broadcast is ending ㅠㅠ

-Don’t go ㅠㅠ

-How much do you need! How much!

-That guy is the 3rd generation chaebol of Shinwha Group, would money work?

-Ah.

But that was also brief.

With the game ending and the broadcast also ending, the viewers couldn’t help but feel regretful.

This was especially true since, unlike most Players, Shin Hyeok was free and not constrained by money.

It meant he couldn’t be held back even with money.

Just as the chat window became a sea of tears again.

[You have succeeded in the Quest.]

[All the Apex of Evil presents a reward with an interesting expression.]

[You have obtained 5,000 Achievement points.]

“Thank you for the Quest reward.”

Shin Hyeok didn’t hide his joy as he received the Quest reward.

It was certainly a difficult Quest, but the sweetness of rewards was always great.

5,000 Achievement points.

Like the saying “many a little makes a mickle,” if he could collect Achievement points like this, he would be able to buy not only class enhancement tickets and growth tickets but also other items, so his joy was even greater.

‘Of course, that’s still a long way off.’

However, considering the ridiculous scores of 5 million and 50 million points, it was still a distant story.

It was when Shin Hyeok was about to exit the game after receiving the Quest reward.

[You have achieved the conditions to trigger the Hidden Stage.]

“…Hidden Stage?”

-Hidden?

-No way, triggering a Hidden Stage in your first game?

-Your luck is insane;;

-It’s not just luck. If you think about it, it’s skill?

-Agreed, what crazy person would think to go to the map center in a defense theme on their first game?

-Hahaha that’s true

The sudden message window left not only Shin Hyeok but also the viewers bewildered.

Hidden Stage.

Hidden Stages were something you could occasionally encounter while playing Dimension Arena.

Naturally, the source of surprise was that they were extremely difficult to encounter, just as the word “hidden” implied.

But the reason people were amazed by Hidden Stages wasn’t just because they were hard to encounter.

-Didn’t that legendary-grade material that came up in the auction recently come from a Hidden Stage in a Diamond game?

-Wow… It might not be that level, but still some good stuff should come out, right?

-You can get materials and equipment as rewards that are hard to obtain even with money, so lucky

-I’m jealous….

It was precisely because of the excellent rewards that lived up to the name “Hidden Stage.”

Recently, even though it was a Diamond game, there was a precedent of legendary-grade materials coming out as Hidden Stage rewards, making the envy even greater.

But that was only the good side of Hidden Stages.

-If it’s a Hidden Stage, the difficulty typically jumps up by at least one tier, can you clear it?

-For real, since you’re Silver, it’ll be Gold. Maybe even Platinum lower-tier difficulty….

-Instead of challenging it and losing to get a day penalty, maybe just rest….

-No no, Hidden Stages sometimes have different penalties than normal ones, so it’s even worse.

-Didn’t a Gold Player last time get caught in a Hidden Stage, get happy about it, then get stat reduction and a 3-day suspension?

The vicious difficulty of Hidden Stages was just as famous as their rewards.

Not to mention the different penalties from normal ones.

Even difficulty levels that seemed designed just to make you lose.

Hidden Stages were no different from traps like carnivorous plants with sweet honey.

‘Well, I’m obviously going to do it though.’

Of course, Shin Hyeok had no intention of giving up.

In his previous life, he had no connection with Hidden Stages and lacked ability, but now neither was the case.

Just as Shin Hyeok was about to declare his participation in the Hidden Stage.

[All the Apex of Evil adds a participation reward.]

[Wushen adds a participation reward.]

‘…? What windfall is this?’

The two Constellations who had been quietly watching this situation hastily added extra rewards, worried Shin Hyeok might not participate.

From Shin Hyeok’s perspective, it was like having honey cake put in his mouth while just sitting still.

“Since the Constellations have promised additional rewards, I have no choice but to participate.”

-Wow, Constellations are even adding extra rewards?

-It’s not even a 1+1 event… I’m jealous

-Jealous my ass. You only get them if you succeed anyway.

-Agreed, if it fails then it’s all screwed ㅇㅇ

With that fact, Shin Hyeok promptly declared his participation in the Hidden Stage.

Some viewers grumbled with envy at the Constellations’ additional rewards, but most couldn’t hide their jealousy.

Regardless, Shin Hyeok immediately checked the rewards the two Constellations had offered.

[Reward, Demonic Iron]

[Reward, Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style – Chapter 1, Section 2]

‘Nice. Demonic Iron is obviously a unique-grade material. And the reward Cheok Nosa offered is the technique that follows Chapter 1, Section 1 that I couldn’t learn in my previous life. I absolutely must get this.’

All the Apex of Evil offered Demonic Iron, a unique-grade material of the same rank as Blessed Sacred Steel.

Wushen offered the technique that followed the Heaven Annihilation Crushing Claw Fist from Chapter 1, Section 1 that Shin Hyeok had learned in his previous life.

Each was something Shin Hyeok couldn’t give up, so as Shin Hyeok prepared for the Hidden Stage with a determined face.

[Hidden Wave begins.]

[All Players not positioned at the map center will be eliminated.]

[The Hidden Wave will proceed for 1 hour.]

[Enemies will continuously be reinforced during the wave.]

“…They’re really serious about this.”

-Wow, lol those vicious guys from Dimension Arena

-They’re separating the teammates remaining in the fortress, and what? 1 hour? Are they kidding?

-Hahaha it took about an hour to survive until wave 5, and you want me to do this one more time?

-And since it’s a hidden wave, it’ll be even stronger than enemies that appeared up to wave 5 lol

Shin Hyeok and the viewers who checked the subsequent messages let out hollow laughs.

It was natural since it was obviously a stage designed just to make you lose.

But a smile appeared on Shin Hyeok’s lips as he confirmed the enemies slowly revealing themselves from the Central Gate of the Map.

The reason was simple.

“Elves?”

Hidden Wave.

The main enemies appearing there were none other than Elves, one of the races that had betrayed Shin Hyeok before his regression.

Watching the Elves gradually taking shape, Shin Hyeok began gathering the mana scattered around him.

“Everyone. Do you know what spirit magic is?”

-…What?

-What?

-No way, it can’t be?

Along with that, Shin Hyeok didn’t forget to ask a question in the chat and show a fresh smile as he spoke.

“I, Shin-hyeok Choi. I desire a contract with you now, so reveal yourselves in this place. Fire spirit, Kasa. Wind spirit, Sylph. Earth spirit, Gnome. Water spirit, Undine.”

Whoooosh! Whiiiing! Crrrack! Splaaaash!

[You have acquired Skill: Spirit Magic[E].]

He didn’t forget to summon all four lower spirits right from the start.

-???

-Wait, all four major elements?

-What the hell?

-This is bullshit;

-This is crazy;

-You’ve been struck out by triple bullshit

Naturally, Shin Hyeok’s chat was flooded with question marks.

But paying no attention to the question marks filling his chat, Shin Hyeok charged toward the Elves made of black energy along with the spirits that had already taken form.
