All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 051

 

When the order came down from the alliance, the villains

 

cheered.

 

-Wow! 10 billion to catch that famous rookie? This is totally profitable business, isn’t it?

 

-Plus they said we can divide up the equipment he has, so the actual profit will be several times more, right?

 

-Everyone get lost! I’m taking this mission!

 

-Bullshit! You got that sweet mission last time! Sit this one out!

 

The bounty on Shin Hyeok’s head was a whopping 10 billion.

 

Additionally, since the various equipment Shin Hyeok possessed would also be given to whoever took the mission, the problem wasn’t that there was no one to take the mission, but that there were too many people wanting it.

 

In the end, mission merit points, skills.

 

Even that wasn’t enough, so those who slipped bribes to the mission supervisors were selected.

 

And at this very moment.

 

They regretted their choice to come here after going so far as to pay bribes.

 

Clang clang clang clang clang!

 

“Damn it! Shadow! We have no grudge against you!”

 

“Do you think such words will work when you’re targeting the young master’s life?”

 

“Shit! We’ll retreat right now if…”

 

“I’ll consider it if you leave behind that heavy and useless thing on top of your neck.”

 

“Fuck!”

 

Shadow, Hong Manseok, completely overwhelmed one villain.

 

Feeling Man-seok’s will to never let him go, the villain eventually gave up on fleeing and went all out against Man-seok.

 

Of course, normally this would have been impossible.

 

At Man-seok’s level, he could easily handle two villains alone.

 

Despite such circumstances, the reason the villain could face Man-seok was just one.

 

“Ugh!”

 

-Graaah!

 

“Shadow! How long do you think you can last while protecting this bitch! No matter how strong this undead is, do you think a mere gold tier can withstand my blade!”

 

It was because Man-seok had to lend some help to the other villain that Su-a and Durahan were facing.

 

Durahan was an A-grade undead with abilities rivaling a diamond tier player, but in the end, undead was undead.

 

When facing a player of the same tier, it was natural to fall short.

 

Moreover, since Durahan prioritized Su-a’s defense above all else, the villain pressed Su-a with pure offense without thinking about defense.

 

At this rate, Durahan would collapse first, and Su-a’s head would fly.

 

To prevent that situation, Man-seok had no choice but to pay attention to this side.

 

In other words, Man-seok had to face two villains while also being responsible for Su-a and Durahan’s safety.

 

“At this rate, the head of that young master you cherish so much will soon be in our hands, won’t it? Let’s keep things amicable. Honestly, we don’t need that young master’s head. Our own heads are more important.”

 

Knowing this, the villain calmly made a deal with Man-seok.

 

They would let Shin Hyeok go, so he should let them go too.

 

A typical villain attitude where their own safety was more important than the mission.

 

However, Man-seok tilted his head.

 

“That’s strange.”

 

“What?”

 

“No matter how I look at it, the young master is overwhelming the villains, so why would the young master’s head fly off?”

 

“…What do you- Holy shit!”

 

At Man-seok’s words, the villain’s head turned toward Shin Hyeok and the two villains facing him.

 

And he spat out curses along with shock.

 

Because he realized one fact.

 

“Those bastards can’t even catch one kid with two of them and are groveling?”

 

“Well, let’s end the small talk here. I could do this all day, but unfortunately, it seems you can’t.”

 

“…Fuck! Let’s quickly finish off these bastards and get out of here!”

 

The time limit was on them, not their opponents.

 

Shin Hyeok wasn’t having a close battle against the two villains but was overwhelmingly pushing them back.

 

At this rate, those two would be defeated soon, and then Shin Hyeok would join this side.

 

Then they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they wanted to.

 

Having thought that far, the villain’s movements began to become urgent.

 

* * *

 

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

 

“Th-this crazy…!”

 

“What kind of impact…!”

 

The villains expressed bewilderment at Shin Hyeok’s fierce assault as he pressed them while wielding both the holy sword and arcane spear against two villains.

 

The holy sword was one thing, but every time it clashed with the arcane spear, a shock that completely shook their internal organs spread out.

 

In the end, the more they exchanged blows, the more the villains were at a disadvantage.

 

Their complexions turned pale from internal injuries, and their hands and feet began to tremble.

 

When the thought became prevalent that they would be defeated before they could do anything at this rate.

 

“…Let’s use it.”

 

“…Are you serious? If we use that here, the madness will…”

 

Madness my ass! Are you saying we should give up our lives now because we’re worried about going crazy later?”

 

“Phew, fine. We just need to use it, right?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Watching the conversation between the two villains, Shin Hyeok scratched his chin with the spear shaft and showed interest.

 

“Going to show me some tricks?”

 

“…Kid. I acknowledge your ability. Even while handling spear and sword simultaneously, you never got tangled up once. Rather, I even felt as if not two, but three or four weapons were attacking at once. I acknowledge it, you’re not just someone who relies on equipment.”

 

“Oh, acknowledgment from a villain. I’m not particularly grateful.”

 

At the words of the villain who seemed to be the leader of the villains sent to kill him, Shin Hyeok let out a snicker.

 

Such acknowledgment from these scum wasn’t important to Shin Hyeok at all, so it was a natural reaction.

 

Even at Shin Hyeok’s sneer, the Villain Leader said with a coldly hardened face while tapping his chest.

 

“From now on, I’ll give it my all.”

 

Whoooooosh!

 

“Demonic energy. So you were a mage.”

 

At the demonic energy that burst out simultaneously, Shin Hyeok finally realized that his opponent was a mage.

 

Since mages and villains were only a paper’s thickness apart, it wasn’t strange that mages became villains and villains became mages quite often.

 

And seeing the villain next to him also reveal demonic energy, Shin Hyeok readjusted his grip on the spear shaft.

 

The demonic energy gradually spread to his bone marrow, turning his eyes black and making his veins bulge.

 

A sign showing he was gradually going mad.

 

The villains also knew this, so they took their stance to end it quickly.

 

Right at that moment.

 

“As expected, villains have no brains. Did you already forget what spear I’m holding?”

 

“…!”

 

Whoooooosh!

 

Demonic energy burst out from Shin Hyeok’s entire body.

 

More demonic energy than the combined energy from the two villains, and of higher purity.

 

Furthermore, seeing him handle such demonic energy without showing even a trace of madness, the villains’ jaws trembled.

 

“H-how. How can you handle demonic energy without being corrupted by madness?”

 

“Th-that’s impossible!”

 

Demonic energy was a force with clear demerits as much as it was powerful.

 

The more frequently it was used, the more one would be consumed by the demonic energy and suffer from madness, going completely insane.

 

Naturally, the more demonic energy one absorbed, the faster the madness progressed, yet despite Shin Hyeok having more demonic energy than the two villains combined, he was actually more composed than both of them.

 

Toward the villains who couldn’t believe this fact, Shin Hyeok sneered.

 

“Do you expect someone dominated by demonic energy to be the same as someone who dominates demonic energy?”

 

“You, are you saying you’re someone who dominates demonic energy?”

 

“If you can’t believe it even after seeing it, why don’t you just gouge out those knothole-like eyes of yours.”

 

“….”

 

A piercing blow to the heart.

 

Unable to respond to Shin Hyeok’s words that stabbed deep into his core, the Villain Leader’s mouth shut tight.

 

But that was only for a moment.

 

“The dice have already been cast. Whether it lands on 6 or 1, we’ll have to see. I’m going.”

 

“…Hmm.”

 

Kugugugugugugugu!

 

At the Villain Leader’s words, who had honed his demonic energy and forged it sharp like a blade, Shin Hyeok let out a weak groan.

 

Certainly, the power the Villain Leader displayed was strong and impressive.

 

However, that didn’t necessarily mean he could claim victory over Shin Hyeok.

 

“Cheonma Seonggong – Cheonma Divine Art.”

 

“…Kheuk!”

 

Kwaddddddddeuk!

 

Securing and seizing control over the surrounding demonic energy with Cheonma Seonggong.

 

Supporting it with Cheonma Divine Art.

 

The emperor’s method that inevitably held superiority over fellow demonic energy users.

 

Not only did the blade of demonic energy the Villain Leader had forged shatter and scatter in an instant, but it also pressed against him according to Shin Hyeok’s will.

 

As the Villain Leader’s face turned pale at the bizarre sight of his own demonic energy suppressing him instead.

 

“Keuaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

 

The villain beside him had completely lost his mind.

 

A rampage of demonic energy.

 

The uncontrolled demonic energy ran wild and devoured its opponent.

 

The opponent who had instantly reached the peak of madness and gone insane in a flash gurgled as he foamed at the mouth with blood.

 

Watching this scene, Shin Hyeok lightly struck the ground with his spear shaft.

 

“True Black Demonic Fire.”

 

Kung! Hwareureureuk!

 

Pitch-black flames wrapped around the spear shaft and blazed.

 

That wasn’t the end.

 

“Enhancement.”

 

The unique skill Enhancement that strengthened the weapon’s attack power itself.

 

This added 10% more attack power.

 

“Throwing Enhancement.”

 

The unique skill Throwing Enhancement was added, which increased attack power again specifically during throwing attacks.

 

With all preparations complete, Shin Hyeok’s arm was pulled back taut like a bowstring.

 

Kudddddddeuk!

 

His entire body’s muscles reassembled solely for a single spear throw.

 

Along with the sharp pain rising from his tensed muscles, Shin Hyeok released the muscles that had reached their limit.

 

Kwaaaaaaaaa!!!

 

The Arcane Spear shot at literally lightning speed, drawing a dark red line through the air as it flew toward the villain dominated by demonic energy.

 

“Keuaaaaaaaaa!!!”

 

Mages corrupted by madness lose their reason and ego, becoming dominated by demonic energy and never able to return to their original form, but there were advantages as well.

 

Overwhelming power.

 

Since they didn’t even worry about being corrupted by madness from demonic energy, they could unleash 200% of the power their demonic energy possessed.

 

As such, the aura the mage emanated was certainly impressive.

 

‘Even I can’t guarantee victory. Is this the fate of a mage dominated by demonic energy and simultaneously the power a mage who has abandoned everything can possess?’

 

Strength so great that even the Villain Leader who wielded demonic energy couldn’t guarantee victory.

 

Therefore, he was curious.

 

The curiosity of whether such power might be able to block Shin Hyeok’s attack.

 

And his curiosity was soon resolved.

 

Kung!

 

“….”

 

“Hmm, decent power.”

 

One strike.

 

The villain’s lower body collapsed with a thud after his entire upper body from head to chest was blown away by a single spear throw.

 

The shocking part didn’t end there.

 

“The night air is refreshingly cool.”

 

“…Crazy, that’s impossible.”

 

The outer wall of the Alchemist Korea Branch had a gaping hole punched through it.

 

Of course, this wasn’t strange.

 

High-tier Players were beyond inhuman, worthy of being called superhuman.

 

It wasn’t strange for their attacks to punch holes in buildings.

 

But the problem was that this was the Alchemist Korea Branch.

 

Since the appearance of Dimension Arena, most major buildings were constructed using various byproducts from dungeons and Dimension Arena.

 

Naturally, the Alchemist Korea Branch wasn’t much different.

 

Especially places like the Alchemist Korea Branch had high terrorism risks for item theft and alchemist kidnapping, so this building’s durability was higher than most government offices.

 

It would take several Diamond tier villains working together and pounding for several minutes.

 

To punch a hole through such a place with a single spear throw – his shock was immense.

 

Well, actually, that wasn’t the important part.

 

“Return.”

 

“…Ah.”

 

Chak!

 

What mattered most to him was that the Arcane Spear, which had punched a hole through the Alchemist Korea Branch and flew far away, was somehow back in Shin Hyeok’s hand.

 

“True Black Demonic Fire – Throwing Enhancement – Enhancement.”

 

“No, don’t.”

 

The familiar trinity of skills once again dwelt within the Arcane Spear.

 

And Shin Hyeok added the finishing touch.

 

“Annihilation.”

 

Kiiiiiiiiiing!!!

 

The Spear of Annihilation.

 

The activation of the rune skill Annihilation that proved its name.

 

The moment he saw a terrifying vortex of power echoing from the spear tip.

 

───────!!!

 

Without any warning, a single Arcane Spear shot forth and devoured the Villain Leader with incomparable power to before.

 

Beyond where only his two legs remained after not just his upper body but most of his lower body was blown away, a new hole had formed so massive it made the previous hole look cute.

 

Return.”

 

Chak!

 

Having created such carnage, Shin Hyeok walked forward step by step, gripping the Arcane Spear he had recalled.

 

Toward the mastermind behind all this and the one who had caused this incident.

 

“Is this all the cards you have?”

 

“….”

 

“How pathetic.”

 

Toward Sung-hun.

 

Looking at him, too stunned to say anything, Shin Hyeok pointed the spear blade at his throat.

 

“Hand over Baek Hyo-rin.”

 

“I, I’ll give her to you….”

 

Overwhelming violence of power.

 

Before it, Sung-hun surrendered.

 

It was also the moment the world’s greatest alchemist fell into Shin Hyeok’s hands.
