All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 018

Elves.

They could only be seen in creative works, but after the appearance of Dimension Arena, they could actually be seen.

Of course, not in reality but in Dimension Arena.

Even then, they could only be seen in extremely limited map themes, but they could still be seen nonetheless.

People who first saw elves cheered.

-Wow, I can actually see elves that I’ve only seen in movies and dramas!

-This is the best, Dimension Arena!

-Isn’t there a way to meet elves in reality too?

-I want to be friends with them, even if not romantically.

Elves boasted beautiful appearances just like in creative works.

Male elves were more beautiful than most female celebrities, and female elves were beyond words.

But that didn’t last long either.

-Damn, an elf map appeared today. I’m in a bad mood so I won’t take questions.

-Ugh, elves appearing in forests is just unfair.

-They attack with archery and spirits from afar, and fight with swords up close.

-I hate myself for being happy just looking at their faces…

Elves were such a powerful race that there was no disagreement about calling them a superior species.

A race so powerful that it would be insulting to even compare them to orcs.

Since they were such beings, it was natural for players who played Dimension Arena to be sick of elves.

Because whenever you encountered elves, they were always enemies.

-This is hopeless

-Even though the map is wasteland instead of forest, there are too many elves.

-Agreed, and the bigger problem is they keep getting reinforced.

That’s why viewers treated Shin Hyeok’s failure upon entering the hidden stage as a foregone conclusion.

An open wasteland.

Dozens of elves continuously appearing for an hour.

Having to face them alone made this no different from a game with a predetermined ending.

But it didn’t take long for the viewers’ thoughts to change.

-Kshit!

-Yahoo!

-Mmm!

-Did you call me?

First, the four-colored spirits revealed themselves around Shin Hyeok.

“Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style – Heaven Annihilation Collapse Claw Fist.”

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Second, Wushen’s technique was unleashed once again, striking the elves.

Heaven Annihilation Collapse Claw Fist struck dozens of elves, sweeping away the elves in front.

Even the surviving elves weren’t in good condition, and Shin Hyeok charged at those elves without hesitation.

Pipipipipipipiping!

True to their name as a superior species, the elves shot a rain of arrows at Shin Hyeok despite being in a mess from being swept up in Heaven Annihilation Collapse Claw Fist.

Elven archery had reached a level called a work of art or artistry itself, so despite the seemingly haphazard rain of arrows, every arrow accurately aimed at Shin Hyeok.

Even if not, the rain of arrows completely covered all the places Shin Hyeok could move or dodge, making him click his tongue lightly.

“Very elf-like.”

Before his regression, having fought countless elves until reaching Challenger, Shin Hyeok knew how amazing yet deadly their archery was, so he immediately put the undead in front.

Pubububububububuck!

True to being undead without reason and unable to feel pain, they didn’t make a single groan even when hit by the elves’ rain of arrows.

However, he couldn’t prevent them from staggering and slowing down as arrows lodged in them, restricting their movement.

The undead who should have been fighting the elves alongside him were rendered out of commission, but Shin Hyeok didn’t care and moved forward.

“Do you all know how to deal with elves?”

-Huh?

-Suddenly?

-No, shouldn’t you deal with the elves in front of you first?

Going one step further, he didn’t forget to explain to the viewers how to deal with elves.

Giving explanations in a combat situation where you can’t even see an inch ahead.

The viewers were dumbfounded, but Shin Hyeok continued his explanation regardless.

“Elves’ combat methods are archery, spirit magic, and swordsmanship. These three. Among them, the core ones are archery and spirit magic. The method to block archery is simple. Like just now, you can have summons like undead take the arrows instead, or- Shield. Shin-hyeok Choi Style Chapter 8 – Weapon Shield.”

Pubububububuck!

“As I just showed you, there are methods of deflecting arrows with shield magic or weapon techniques. How about it, pretty easy, right?”

-Brain: I understand perfectly!

-Body: ?

-So Korea has Uncle Bob too

It was a countermeasure method that ordinary players couldn’t even attempt, given that summoning, magic, and weapon techniques were used just to block archery.

But there was nothing wrong with Shin Hyeok’s words.

Summons without reason and unable to feel pain were excellent as meat shields, and countermeasures through shields and weapon techniques were perfect.

The only problem was that it was difficult for others to follow.

While the viewers grumbled, the elves’ arrow offensive stopped.

Arrows were consumables.

Naturally, they couldn’t be used infinitely, and from then on, the real offensive began.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

“This is spirit magic, the second core of elves.”

The chat window stirred once again at Shin Hyeok’s calm response as he lightly used footwork to dodge the incoming spirits’ offensive, but this time too, Shin Hyeok didn’t stop explaining.

“Spirit magic is a powerful ability. It’s also an ability that greatly contributed to elves receiving the evaluation of being a superior species. Unlike magic, spirit magic cast by spirits has short casting time and no delay. But do you know there’s a big weakness here?”

-What is it, Uncle Bob?

-Did we decide to unify the title as Uncle Bob now?

Viewers calling Shin Hyeok Uncle Bob as he even winked at the screen despite spirit magic pouring down.

When the answer he wanted didn’t appear in the chat, Shin Hyeok regretfully gave the correct answer.

“The answer lies in the spirits themselves. In the end, spirits are no different from summons. If you reverse-summon them, spirit mages are no different from ordinary people.”

-Wow, I see!

-Of course lol A swordsman is just an ordinary person if you take away their sword lol

-So how do you take away the sword lol

However, that answer didn’t resonate much with the viewers either.

If you take a sword from a swordsman, they’re no different from an ordinary person who learned martial arts.

But the problem was how to take it from a swordsman wielding a sword.

And this time too, Shin Hyeok brought out an extraordinary method.

“The method to reverse-summon spirits is simple. You just need to strike the spirits themselves.”

-?

-Can’t you attack spirits?

-Normal physical attacks don’t work.

-Yeah, magic is somewhat okay but…

-Most magic gets deflected too

It was a method of striking the spirits themselves directly.

Spirits generally showed near-immunity to physical attacks.

Magic worked a little, but there were virtually no methods to directly strike spirits.

But there are no absolutes in the world.

Ziiiiiiiiing-

-…Sword energy?

-No way, is that really sword energy?

-Does it make sense for a Silver to use something that not only Gold but even some Platinum can’t use?

-Lol It’s not just any Silver, it’s a Silver who just got placed.

-And it’s his first game since placement too.

-Is this what they call talent….

-A freshly placed Silver. So that’s why he’s called God-Silver?

-Is Shin-hyeok Choi a god? Is Shin-hyeok Choi a god? Is Shin-hyeok Choi a god?

As sword aura bloomed above Shin Hyeok’s ‘Se-jin Bang’s Well-Made Sacred Sword’, the chat was filled with shock.

Sword aura.

Something that only an extremely small number of those with exceptional mana control skills could manifest.

It was sword aura that could cut through anything and even slice targets without physical form.

‘It’s disappointing I can’t use sword force, but I’ll have to be satisfied with this for now.’

Of course, Shin Hyeok before his regression could freely wield even sword force, the next stage beyond sword aura, so he wasn’t surprised by something as trivial as manifesting sword aura.

And the reason Shin Hyeok forged sword aura was simple.

Sword aura could cut targets without physical form.

It went without saying that this included spirits as well.

Sgeogeogeogeogeok!

-Keeeak!

-Kyaaak!

-Kheuk!

When sword aura was added to the overwhelming attack power of Se-jin Bang’s Well-Made Sacred Sword, the spirits took massive damage and were reverse-summoned.

Having reverse-summoned the spirits around him in an instant, Shin Hyeok could see the faces of the elves contorted in pain.

It was thanks to the spirits being forcibly reverse-summoned.

Not only spirit masters but summoners in general receive a great shock when their summons are forcibly reverse-summoned.

The heads of the elves who were staggering from the shock of their spirits being reverse-summoned flew through the air.

Tudududuk-

The severed heads rolled across the ground.

At that sight, the elves hastily drew their swords.

They were swords of quite decent quality.

They were obviously better weapons than what most Players used, but Shin Hyeok swung his sword without the slightest hesitation.

Sgagagagagagak!

When they blocked with swords, the swords shattered, and when they blocked with arms, the arms flew off.

If they couldn’t even do that, chests were split open and heads were severed.

Like a wolf that had charged into a flock of sheep, Shin Hyeok slaughtered dozens of elves in an instant, then looked at the screen with a face as if he had just remembered something.

“Ah, I forgot to mention. The way to counter swordsmanship is to do it like I just showed you.”

-Wow, that was really useful information.

-So, the required materials are a unique-grade sword and knowing how to manifest sword aura, right?

-Yeah, and you need to have exceptional skills too.

-??? : Pretty easy, right?

Watching Shin Hyeok smile with satisfaction after belatedly explaining how to counter the elves’ final ability of swordsmanship, the viewers could only let out hollow laughs.

But it was also true that they had nothing to say since Shin Hyeok had actually done it.

In the end, the viewers who couldn’t argue with Shin Hyeok’s lecture changed the topic.

-So how are you going to clear the Hidden Stage?

-Right. You’ve only blocked the first wave so far.

-Considering that stronger and more numerous enemies appear as it goes on, the current method seems like it’ll be tough….

-Won’t our Uncle Bob just clear it all while saying “Pretty easy, right?”?

-…I want to say stop talking nonsense, but it sounds plausible so I have nothing to say.

It was a discussion about clearing the remaining Hidden Stage.

Currently, Shin Hyeok had only cleared the first wave.

Considering that the Hidden Stage’s waves continued for one hour, he would need to endure about 4 more waves.

Given that the waves became more difficult as they progressed, using too much power like now would obviously make things harder later on.

But making such worries meaningless, Shin Hyeok immediately provided the answer.

“When spirits are reverse-summoned, the area around them is filled with the massive mana they left behind when reverse-summoned. And I reverse-summoned dozens of spirits alone. That means the equivalent of dozens of Silver Tier Players’ worth of mana is filling this area.”

-…Don’t tell me?

The massive mana remaining where spirits were reverse-summoned.

At those words, when the viewers realized what Shin Hyeok was trying to say and started spamming exclamation marks.

“Devour.”

Kwadeudeudeudeuk!

As if to show that the viewers’ words were correct, Shin Hyeok immediately unleashed Devour, consuming the mana that was invisible but filling the surroundings.

Feeling his empty mana instantly fill up after devouring the massive mana, Shin Hyeok immediately took the next step.

“Rise.”

Deudeudeudeudeudeudeuk!

The elves that Shin Hyeok had killed.

They rose to fill the empty spots left by the undead they had killed.

“Devour. Rise. Devour. Rise.”

When this was repeated several more times.

The area around the Central Gate of the Map became filled with Shin Hyeok’s undead.

Shin Hyeok’s eyes sparkled as he covered the mana needed for summoning and maintenance with Devour.

“I’ll begin the Hidden Stage clearing broadcast.”

-One hour later, ??? : How’s that, pretty easy right?

-I can see it, I can see it.

It was the moment when the full-scale clearing of the Hidden Stage began.

The fact that the future one hour later was clearly visible was surely not just their imagination.
