All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 019

After Shin Hyeok occupied the area around the central gate of the map, everything proceeded smoothly.

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

As soon as the elves appeared from the gate, they were swept away by Shin Hyeok’s Heaven Destruction Collapse Claw, causing their formation to collapse.

“Elf undead. Fire.”

Pip pip pip pip pip ping!

The elves, who had lost their spirit magic upon becoming undead but still retained their archery skills, unleashed a rain of arrows.

“Kasa, Undine, Sylph, Gnome. Sweep them all away.”

What awaited the barely surviving elves were Shin Hyeok’s spirits, who had absorbed plenty of mana from the surroundings.

Though they weren’t particularly powerful as lower-tier spirits, their attacks backed by massive mana support couldn’t be ignored.

Of course, the elves didn’t just take it lying down either.

Kwang! Bang! Kwang! Pip pip pip pip ping!

The spirits of the elves who survived Shin Hyeok’s offensive poured out attacks until they were reverse-summoned, and the elves frantically shot arrows at Shin Hyeok.

But even under the offensive aimed at him, Shin Hyeok began to rampage unmatched in the middle of the enemy formation.

“Shield. Shin-hyeok Choi Style 8th Form – Weapon Shield.”

Kagagagagagang!

Most attacks couldn’t reach Shin Hyeok, who had deployed the basic magic Shield and his own technique Weapon Shield to create a double-layered shield.

Ting!

Even the attacks that barely managed to penetrate the double shields and reach Shin Hyeok couldn’t pierce through the Absorption Armor he was wearing and exhausted their power.

Like a wolf among sheep, after slaughtering and slaughtering the elves, Shin Hyeok was able to survive safely for one hour.

[You have cleared the Hidden Stage.]

A message appeared as soon as the hour ended.

At the same time, the black gate that had been endlessly pouring out elves disappeared without a trace.

It was only natural that the viewers went wild when they realized the Hidden Stage had truly been cleared with the gate’s disappearance.

-Wow, seeing him clear even the Hidden Stage is really amazing

-Is Korea finally becoming a player powerhouse?

-For real, after seeing only those guys who just park in Diamond and suck honey, seeing this brings tears to my eyes

[Jumooooo has donated 1,000 D.C.]

Considering that 1 Dimension Coin equals 1 dollar, donating an amount approaching a whopping thousand dollars said it all.

Leaving the buzzing viewers behind, Shin Hyeok checked the rewards he obtained from completing the Hidden Stage.

[You have excellently blocked all waves.]

[You have gained Strength 21, Stamina 15, Intelligence 18, Mana 23, Divine Power 31.]

“Clearing the Hidden Stage definitely gives a considerable amount of stat increases.”

First came the stats.

On average, players gained single-digit stats.

Even then, they usually gained one or at most two stats, not all of Strength, Stamina, Intelligence, and Mana.

But Shin Hyeok not only gained all four stats, but all of them boasted double digits.

This was the reward for passing through 5 waves, which ordinary Silver Tier players could never hope to reach.

Furthermore, it was the reward for perfectly clearing even the Hidden Stage.

[You have obtained Dark Steel.]

“Dark Steel. It’s a Rare+ grade material, but… well, it’s decent enough as food.”

The second reward was Dark Steel.

It was a material famous for giving weapons a dark tint when used to craft them, being steel with a dark hue.

But Shin Hyeok threw such material into his Absorption Armor without hesitation.

Crunch!

As soon as the Dark Steel entered its mouth, the Absorption Armor chewed and swallowed it as if it were alive, vibrating lightly.

At the reaction like a child who had eaten something delicious, Shin Hyeok smiled faintly and gently patted the Absorption Armor before checking the final reward.

[You have acquired a Growth-type Pet Gacha Ticket.]

“…Growth-type Pet Gacha Ticket? Does this drop here?”

-?! Wait, a Growth-type Pet Gacha Ticket?

-Is that good?

-Yeah, there’s a player who raised a legendary pet with that. You know, right?

-Ah, Harley Davidson? The one who tamed a Wyvern?

The final reward was none other than a Growth-type Pet Gacha Ticket.

And as soon as Shin Hyeok’s reward was revealed, countless requests began flooding in.

[American Heroes has donated 10,000 D.C.]

-Mr. Choi! We at American Heroes would like to purchase that gacha ticket.

[Trinity Party has donated 10,000 D.C.]

-We believe excellent items should come to great nations like ours. We’ve sent you a message.

[Orochi has donated 10,000 D.C.]

-Choi-san! How about selling to us at Orochi in Japan, your neighboring country? We’ll compensate you handsomely!

The chat erupted in mockery at the purchase requests from representatives of world-renowned guilds with donation amounts reaching at least ten thousand D.C.

-Nope, hyung has more money than you guys~

-Would the 3rd generation chaebol of Shinwha Group sell it for money? Ah lol

-It’d be fortunate if he doesn’t ask them to sell the artifacts or weapons they have lol

-For real lol

Everyone was well aware of Shin Hyeok’s wealth.

Since he was still only Silver Tier, not all scouts or representatives from guilds worldwide knew about him yet.

Even if they did know, not many were aware that he was the 3rd generation chaebol of Shinwha Group, one of Korea’s leading conglomerates.

That’s why this current farce had formed.

As the viewers said, Shin Hyeok naturally had no intention of selling, so he immediately used the pet gacha ticket.

“Thank you for the donations, but I have no intention of selling.”

Shin Hyeok ended the conversation with a polite apology and looked at the egg that had appeared before his eyes.

‘I’ve never used a gacha ticket even before my regression. So this is how it works.’

Watching the egg containing the pet gradually shake and slowly crack, Shin Hyeok couldn’t hide his unconsciously racing heart.

-Ooh, it’s cracking! It’s cracking!

-What will come out?

-Maybe a dragon or a griffin?

-How about Jang Deok-pil?

-What’s that?

-18th descendant of Hamheung. I, Jang Deok-pil, give you the chance to have me.

-I wouldn’t take it even if you gave it to me;;

The moment Shin Hyeok smiled at the viewers who were expectantly watching with one heart and mind as if it were their own.

Crack!

The egg, which had cracked as much as it could, finally developed one last big crack before splitting apart to reveal the life form inside.

-Caw?

A baby crow with black feathers nestled among brown-tinted feathers.

Seeing this, both Shin Hyeok and the viewers couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

“…A crow?”

-Is this a scam? A scam?

-No, I definitely saw a dragon just now!!!

-But no, right? It’s a crow, right?

-If this was going to happen, he should have just sold it!!!

Not even an ordinary crow, but a hooded crow with more brown feathers.

When everyone couldn’t hide their absurdity at the sight of a baby hooded crow that hadn’t even properly grown yet.

[All the Apex of Evil grants a reward.]

[You have obtained Demon Steel.]

“Ah, thank you.”

All the Apex of Evil, who had given Shin Hyeok a quest, handed over a reward.

Shin Hyeok expressed his gratitude and received the reward.

“So this is Demonic Steel.”

-Wow, so that’s what Demonic Steel looks like….

-It’s really eerie.

-This is the first time I’ve felt chills just from looking at something.

-I wonder if you could even use a weapon made from that.

Demonic Steel was an extremely rare material.

Though it was the same Unique grade as Blessed Steel, since it was steel infused with demonic energy, there were few blacksmiths who knew how to handle it, and even if they could craft it, there were few Players who could actually use it.

Especially since villain Players who committed various crimes mainly used demonic energy, Demonic Steel tended to be avoided compared to other materials.

‘This will be a great help in deploying “that thing.” Not bad at all.’

However, Shin Hyeok also knew how to handle demonic energy.

Since it was an ability that could be called nothing short of supreme among methods of handling demonic energy, Shin Hyeok’s joy was great.

After storing the Demonic Steel in his inventory, the truly final reward came to Shin Hyeok.

[Wushen wishes to bestow a reward.]

[Will you accept?]

“…!”

It was the reward for Wushen’s Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style Chapter 1 – Section 2.

At this fact, Shin Hyeok stared at the message window with a surprised face, then soon nodded his head.

“I’ll accept it.”

Flash!

As soon as Shin Hyeok finished speaking, he vanished without a trace from the central area of the Defense Map.

[The broadcast has ended.]

-Huh???

-Where did the streamer go!!!

-Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!

-If you’re ending the stream, at least say you’re ending it before you go!!!

Naturally, since Shin Hyeok’s broadcast had also ended, only the Viewers who were suddenly hit with the stream ending could pour out angry chats while staring at the dark screen.

* * *

“…This place is.”

A mountain made of strange rocks with pure white clouds spread beneath his feet.

Standing atop it, Shin Hyeok instinctively realized where this was.

‘Mushin’s Realm.’

This was the realm of Wushen, the Constellation who had issued the Quest.

‘Including the time I visited before my regression, this would be the second time.’

Since he had similarly visited Mushin’s Realm when learning the Heaven-Destroying Avalanche Fist, his surprise wasn’t great.

Toward Shin Hyeok, who remained extremely calm without equal, an elderly man appeared with an aged but powerful voice, his white hair neatly tied up and sporting a long sage-like beard.

“You don’t seem surprised, young man.”

“…I was surprised. I just didn’t show it outwardly. Are you perhaps Wushen?”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because I was transported here immediately after accepting the success reward for the Quest that Wushen issued.”

“Heh heh heh, not only do you have talent and skill in martial arts, but your perception isn’t bad either.”

The elderly man who had revealed himself.

No, Wushen nodded his head and agreed with Shin Hyeok’s words while introducing himself.

“As you said, I am called Wushen. Though I cannot tell you my name… feel free to call me Cheok Nosa.”

“Understood, Cheok Nosa.”

“Now then, I should give you your reward. But before that, there’s one thing I need to confirm.”

“I’ve been waiting for this.”

Seeing Shin Hyeok answer as if he knew what would be confirmed, Cheok Nosa wore an interested smile while stroking his beard.

“Ho, are you saying you already knew what I would confirm?”

“Isn’t there only one thing that Wushen would confirm after calling me to this place?”

“Why don’t you tell me what it is?”

“Aren’t you trying to confirm my martial arts (Wu)?”

“…Hahahaha! Yes, that’s right. It’s just an old man’s way of passing time, so don’t worry. Even if you don’t please me, the transmission of Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style Chapter 1, Section 2 will proceed.”

Toward Shin Hyeok who had accurately guessed his thoughts, Cheok Nosa nodded and reassured him.

“But there wouldn’t be anything after that. I’m not confident.”

“Is that so….”

Of course, when Shin Hyeok immediately noticed the hidden blade within that reassurance and expressed his lack of confidence, Cheok Nosa couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“I meant I’m not confident that I won’t receive Cheok Nosa’s recognition.”

“What? Hahahaha! You’re an interesting fellow. Yes, let’s see if those words are really true.”

But realizing that this was Shin Hyeok’s own way of joking, Cheok Nosa burst into thunderous laughter that made the mountain of strange rocks vibrate as he took his stance.

With one hand behind his back and the other in a middle guard position, Shin Hyeok heightened his tension at Cheok Nosa’s seemingly casual posture.

‘My opponent is Cheok Nosa. A Constellation called Wushen. An existence who could defeat me with a single finger, a single breath. I won’t let my guard down just because his stance looks casual.’

Since he already knew Cheok Nosa’s strength all too well from before his regression, Shin Hyeok gathered his tension into fighting spirit without the slightest carelessness and spoke.

“I’m coming.”

“Come then.”

Thud!

At the same time, Shin Hyeok charged like a cannonball toward Cheok Nosa, who signaled the start of battle with a flick of his fingertip.
