All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 029

Even after the heart-piercing attack, Ellis continued to live and pressure Shin Hyeok for several more minutes.

The combination of Blood Berserker and Mad Blood had allowed her to temporarily overcome even death.

However, the end was already predetermined.

No matter how much of a berserker one was, it was impossible to live forever with a pierced heart.

Of course, if she later grew her class to legendary.

Or even to mythic grade, it might be a different story, but at least not now.

“…You’re really strong.”

“You were strong enough too.”

Ellis, who knelt before Shin Hyeok, was covered in wounds and blood.

Shin Hyeok was in a similar state, but the difference was that he had no proper injuries.

Furthermore, all the blood on his body belonged to Ellis, which made a big difference.

Shin Hyeok lightly praised the fallen Ellis and swung his holy sword to finish her off.

[Shin-hyeok Choi has defeated Ellis Veronia.]

[No enemies remain alive!]

[You are worthy of eating chicken!]

“Looking at it this way, it really seems like a game. Well, this is just another trick to make Dimension Arena feel like a game.”

A truly game-like message window.

However, Dimension Arena was closer to a tool for invading dimensions.

As such, Shin Hyeok couldn’t laugh or be happy even when seeing the game-like message window.

Because being enchanted by that game-like appearance and treating Dimension Arena like a game had caused great damage later on.

Furthermore, considering that villains and Mages who thought of reality like a game and caused chaos had appeared, he couldn’t bring himself to like it.

[You have been selected as the winner of the Top 100 Silver Tier Players in the World promotion match.]

[Calculating the Achievements you have accomplished.]

[…Due to achieving too many Achievements, this will take some time.]

“Still, I like this part.”

The fact that he had achieved many Achievements in the promotion match.

That meant he would receive many rewards, so Shin Hyeok crossed his arms with a satisfied expression and quietly waited for the calculation.

How many minutes had passed like that?

[You have achieved a total of 23 Achievements including First Blood, Most Kills, Greatest Fighter, Master of Pursuit, and others.]

[…This is an unbelievable Achievement.]

[This is the first Achievement of its kind in any dimension.]

[Reward: You have obtained a Legendary Weapon Draw Ticket (Random).]

“…!!!”

Achieving 23 Achievements was surprising, but the reward that followed was even more astonishing.

‘A legendary weapon draw ticket. Even if it’s random, I’ve never seen this even before my regression.’

Legendary weapons were items that couldn’t be easily encountered even before his regression.

At least there was Mr. Bang, who was called The Artisan.

Thanks to the current Sejin, he could encounter them as crafted weapons, but Shin Hyeok had never encountered them this way even once.

Therefore, Shin Hyeok didn’t hide his excited feelings for the first time in a while.

“I’ll use the draw ticket.”

Unable to hide his pounding heart, Shin Hyeok immediately used the draw ticket, and a treasure chest appeared before his eyes.

The lock of the dazzlingly brilliant treasure chest clicked open and began to open by itself.

Eventually, inside the revealed chest lay a single bow.

“A bow? That’s good.”

Currently, Shin Hyeok had a holy sword for swordsmanship and a magic spear for unleashing the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

In contrast, for archery he was using an ordinary rare-grade bow.

It wasn’t even something Sejin had made, but a mass-produced item he had roughly bought and used.

As such, a legendary-grade bow would be perfect for Shin Hyeok.

However, since it would be meaningless if the options weren’t good, Shin Hyeok immediately checked the bow’s status window.

And he was shocked.

[Admiral Yi’s Bow]

* Legendary Grade

A legendary bow said to have been used by Admiral Yi.

It is a peerless treasure that any archer would covet.

* Strength, Stamina, Mana + 112

* Attack Power: 5,382

* Unique Skill: Perfect Accuracy

* Unique Skill: Focused Shot

* Unique Skill: Clear Mind

“…Admiral Yi’s Bow. This is quite remarkable.”

Admiral Yi.

Shin Hyeok couldn’t hide his surprise at that name, which no Korean could be unfamiliar with.

Moreover, each of the attached options was like honey to Shin Hyeok, and the attack power was naturally the best, befitting legendary grade.

Furthermore, it even had three unique skills, and each one was a skill that would drive any archer crazy.

Perfect Accuracy, which guaranteed that arrows shot for a certain period would definitely hit.

Focused Shot, which allowed shooting stronger arrows the more one concentrated.

Finally, Clear Mind, which helped one remain unshaken in any situation.

For Shin Hyeok, it was a weapon worthy of being kept as a family heirloom.

Of course, since it was combat power he needed to use immediately, that would only be possible after Shin Hyeok’s death.

[Congratulations on being promoted to Gold 5 Tier!]

“I’m halfway there for now.”

For now, it was time to enjoy being promoted to Gold.

* * *

Pop!

“…What’s this?”

“Congratulations on your Gold promotion!”

“Congratulations, Shin Hyeok!”

“I really thought you would take first place.”

What greeted Shin Hyeok when he returned to his room after the game was confetti bursting toward him.

Since it was sudden confetti, when Shin Hyeok looked around with a surprised expression, everyone connected to him was there.

Starting with Shin Hyeok’s parents, his only friend Su-a, and the always reliable Sejin.

They were all sincerely congratulating Shin Hyeok on his Gold promotion.

“…Everyone must be busy, but thank you for making time.”

“It’s the day our Shin Hyeok gets promoted to Gold, so of course we had to make time.”

“Of course.”

“Well, today is a celebration!”

A lavishly set table.

Happy times with the people he loved most.

While spending such happy times, Shin Hyeok’s phone rang.

[Grandfather]

“It’s Grandfather. I’ll take the call and come back.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Yes.”

Although he didn’t like having his happy time interrupted, Shin Hyeok immediately got up and entered a quiet room.

“I answered the phone, Grandfather.”

-Yes, I saw you did well in the promotion match. Are you hurt anywhere?

“I’m not weak enough to get hurt in a fight of this level.”

-Kahahaha! Right. Silver is just kids fighting. Don’t forget that the real deal starts from Gold.

“I know that too. I’ll repay you by taking first place in all future promotion matches.”

-Good. You must be busy celebrating, so I’m sorry for calling. Come to Pyeongchang-dong tomorrow morning. We’ll talk properly then.

“Yes, have a good night, Grandfather.”

-Alright.

Click!

After looking once at the phone that had been hung up with those final words, Shin Hyeok soon stuffed his phone into his pocket and left the room.

Meeting with Choi Cheolho was certainly important business, but even so, it wasn’t enough to give up this happy time.

* * *

The next morning.

Shin Hyeok headed to the Pyeongchang-dong estate early at dawn.

Since he was to have breakfast there with Choi Cheolho, Shin Hyeok wore a well-pressed formal outfit.

With Shin Hyeok’s naturally tall height and handsome appearance, that alone was sufficient.

Riding in the luxury limousine with a personal driver that Choi Cheolho had sent, Shin Hyeok entered the Pyeongchang-dong estate and couldn’t hide his surprise at seeing Choi Cheolho sitting alone, waiting for him.

“Aren’t my eldest uncle and youngest uncle here?”

“Why would I call those bastards to your celebration? Just you and me. That’s enough.”

“…That’s true.”

“Sit down. I’m hungry.”

“Yes.”

Since Choi Inseok and Choi Inho, who always stood guard beside Choi Cheolho like faithful stones, were also absent, Shin Hyeok sat next to Choi Cheolho with a much more relaxed expression.

Clatter clatter-

The meal that began this way was quiet.

The meal proceeded without any particular conversation and soon came to an end.

Setting down his completely emptied rice bowl and drinking warm scorched rice tea, Choi Cheolho finally spoke.

“Well done.”

“…!”

Sometimes one word is more effective than ten words.

This was one of those times.

Since Choi Cheolho, who rarely gave praise, had praised him, the impact was tremendous.

When Shin Hyeok looked at him with a surprised face, Choi Cheolho let out a chuckling laugh.

“What? Is it strange that I’m praising you?”

“…I’m just surprised.”

“It’s not strange to tell someone who did well that they did well. In that regard, you did well enough, Shin Hyeok.”

“Thank you.”

Choi Cheolho’s recognition.

It was worth as much as legendary equipment, so Shin Hyeok showed a satisfied smile.

“So what reward did you receive?”

“I received a legendary weapon draw ticket. It’s random though.”

“Ho! There aren’t even 10 legendary items released in the world, and my grandson has become an owner of one.”

“It just happened to work out that way.”

“Could I take a look at it?”

“That’s not difficult.”

The legendary weapon was an item that truly lived up to its name.

Since there weren’t even 10 legendary items released worldwide, that said it all.

Even the great Choi Cheolho had only seen them a few times, so it was natural for him to be curious.

For Choi Cheolho, who was showing such curiosity, Shin Hyeok gladly took out and showed him Admiral Yi’s Bow.

“Huh. Such a bow. Among the legendary equipment I’ve seen, this would rank in the top three.”

“Thank you.”

“Here, take good care of it. Good items always bring trouble. Well, someone like you, Shin Hyeok, should be able to handle it well enough.”

Choi Cheolho, who couldn’t hide his amazement after seeing Admiral Yi’s Bow’s status window, returned the bow while not forgetting to give his advice.

As Shin Hyeok nodded his head at this.

“Right, I heard you fought and beat that Hoseok fellow.”

“I’m embarrassed because it wasn’t really a proper victory.”

“Kahahaha, thanks to that, you should have seen how funny it was when I met that Yongjae fellow. It’s all thanks to you, Shin Hyeok.”

Choi Cheolho, who casually called the great Oseong Group chairman ‘Yongjae’ and sneered at him, asked with a meaningful smile.

“You’ve become Gold this time and obtained a legendary weapon too. Would you like to fight another Diamond player once more?”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Man-seok.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“…Hmm, your presence has definitely become more faint than last time.”

A new battle with a Diamond player.

It was none other than a battle with Hong Manseok, Choi Cheolho’s shadow.

Shin Hyeok’s face hardened slightly at Man-seok’s stealth ability as he revealed himself at Choi Cheolho’s single word.

Because while he knew he was nearby, he couldn’t pinpoint his exact location.

It was certainly incomparable to when he first saw him, so Shin Hyeok’s hardened expression was brief.

“What will you give me if I win?”

“…Ho?”

Choi Cheolho wore an amused smile at that attitude of not considering defeat.

“Are you confident you can win?”

“Yes. I think it’s worth trying.”

“This time there won’t be any physical restrictions either?”

“Even so… I think it’s worth trying now.”

Watching a Gold player calculate his chances of winning against a Diamond player, Choi Cheolho wore a satisfied smile and asked.

“What do you want?”

“My aunt seems to have a lot of burdens on her shoulders. I’d like to help her carry some of those burdens.”

“…You’re aiming for the department store and hotel.”

“Specifically, the department store. I’d like to receive permission to help carry my aunt’s burden as a reward.”

“Hahaha, using distribution as a stepping stone to devour the department store, one of Shinwha’s cash cows? Interesting. Fine, but don’t forget. What I’m giving you is only permission. Devouring it is your job.”

“I understand.”

“Good, then let’s go. There’s a quite decent training ground in the basement.”

“Yes.”

Looking at Shin Hyeok who said he would help carry the burden of his aunt Choi Hwayeon’s department store, Choi Cheolho let out a sly laugh and, with his hands behind his back, opened a hidden door leading to the basement and disappeared inside.

Following behind him, Man-seok and Shin Hyeok also soon threw themselves into the darkness of the basement.
