A few days after I got the regeneration, I immediately started experimenting with various things.

Once you know your skill level, you can decide how far you can utilize it.

The subject of the experiment was, of course, ‘my body.’

Well, the name itself is Regeneration.

“Ugh···!”

He uses the Holy Sword to release his vital energy, and also hits the wall with his whole body to create bruises.

Every time that happened, a drop of blood would splatter nearby.

Seriously, do I have to harm myself just to test one ability?

I felt a little guilty, but I was able to endure it thanks to [Pain Tolerance].

Fortunately, the effects were quite useful. Minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises were healed in the blink of an eye.

Since a skill is a skill, it seems that even if it is a replica, it is basic.

Of course, since it was a skill, it consumed magic power every time it was regenerated, but it was efficient enough that not much was sucked out.

Having received such a satisfactory answer, I immediately moved on to the next experiment. After all, this is the flower of regeneration.

“···I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it. I’m really going to do it···!”

In the peaceful magic, I put my finger on the rock and shouted.

And in one hand, he held a magnificent holy sword and aimed it at my thumb.

The experiment I was going to do was simple.

This is an experiment that can be completed with just one swipe of a knife.

I’m going to cut off my finger.

We will cut it and check whether it regenerates up to the cut end.

If it does play, we’ll measure how long it takes.

In order to use regeneration more effectively… this was an experiment that had to be conducted at least once.

But in the end, I’m human too, so when I was about to cut off my finger, I couldn’t help but be scared.

The right hand holding the holy sword is trembling.

The more I thought about it, the more I encouraged myself.

It’s okay, you can do it.

The preparation is perfect.

Your pain tolerance level has also increased considerably, and even if you get cut, your regeneration skill will automatically heal you.

Even if you can’t regenerate, there are saints around you and top-tier potions, so you can still heal.

So, just close your eyes and cut it.

All you have to do is cut it…

“···Ugh, I can’t do it.”

I eventually had no choice but to put down the Holy Sword.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have the courage.

I cut off my own finger with my own hands.

How could that be, I’m neither crazy nor a masochist.

‘You can’t keep doing this.’

My heart keeps getting weaker.

When I think about the fights ahead… I hesitate, thinking that cutting off a finger would be a minor thing.

“Okay, I’ll skip cutting it with a knife.”

I had no choice but to give up on cutting it myself.

I can’t do it now, what should I do?

The good news is that there are other ways to cut off a finger.

That’s right, [the power of sacrifice].

In fact, that was the biggest reason why I chose to play.

It would be quite a sight to see me fight while sacrificing my body with the power of sacrifice.

If regeneration can heal even the most severe wounds, then a virtually infinite production system is created.

Of course, I didn’t think about my mental suffering in the meantime… but in any case, it is an undeniable fact that synergy is the best.

Besides, I didn’t have to cut it with my own hands, I just had to say it.

The psychological difficulty has become much easier than before.

Thanks to that, I was able to execute it more easily than before.

“···I dedicate my left thumb to level up.”

At that moment.

Push!

My thumb disappears and bright red blood flows out.

A clean cut, as if it had been cut out in Paint and then deleted.

At the same time, a status window appeared before my eyes.

[Experience points have increased slightly!]

I couldn’t help but swear in pain and despair.

“This fucking shit··· ugh···!”

sick!

No matter how much pain tolerance I have, this fucking hurts!

But, despite the pain, the skill [Regeneration] worked well.

Push!

The blood that had been gushing like a fountain clears, and new flesh slowly grows. The severed bones and blood vessels are reorganized.

After a few dozen seconds, my severed thumb was completely healed.

I was in pain for a moment, but soon I couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Haa, haa······ Oh.”

Indeed, even if it is a replica, is it because it is a skill of the Four Heavenly Kings?

It was well worth the money.

Even this kind of amputation can be treated in no time.

Compared to that, my original skill [Power of Sacrifice] only brought out curses···.

I clearly asked to level up, but my experience points only went up slightly.

Even so, I sacrificed a part of my body···.

‘Is the infinite production system limited?’

First of all, it becomes an infinite production system.

Anyway, I did gain some experience points.

However, the efficiency is just not good compared to what was put in.

The power of sacrifice seemed to say:

The value that is re-created cannot be given a high price.

So, bring something a little bigger.

“That’s a fucking dog.”

Anyway, he was a petty guy.

I realize it again.

This is definitely a powerful skill, but it’s by no means a panacea.

It is a dangerous skill that is based on high risk and high return.

···Anyway, with this I was able to learn about the skill [Regeneration].

This will definitely help in combat.

Having obtained such satisfactory data, I stood up from my seat.

Then suddenly a thought occurred to me.

‘Wait a minute, if it’s not for the regenerative value, then isn’t it definitely possible to extract efficiency?’

For example, what if, instead of just donating a body part, you could donate it ‘permanently’?

It may be possible to achieve incredible efficiency levels that are almost life-span-level.

“Um···.”

no.

Let’s not think about it.

What good is there in winning like that?

I don’t want to fight so desperately that I risk permanent damage to my body. I erased that thought from my head.

Now it’s time to get back to the party.

*

“Warrior! Why are you so late! Didn’t I tell you to gather right after your personal maintenance time is over! ”

“Hey, sorry. Something took a while. ”

“I think that an idiot who can’t keep time well is not worthy of being a warrior.”

As soon as we got back to the party, Camilla and Lily started making a scene.

He said he was a few minutes late.

After finishing the experiment, I returned straight away, but I couldn’t help but be a few minutes late.

Since I live in a group setting and don’t have much personal time, I did this experiment all at once, and it took quite a while.

‘But I can’t just bang against a wall and cut myself with a knife in front of my teammates.’

If I do something like that in front of my teammates, my impression will definitely drop again. Well, I’m already at rock bottom anyway.

“···What is that blood on your clothes?”

As I was thinking that way, the saintess next to me asked.

As I followed her gaze down, I saw drops of blood staining my sleeve.

I slapped my forehead inwardly.

‘Oops.’

It seems like my blood splashed onto my clothes while I was doing the experiment.

I was so busy that I didn’t have time to check.

“No matter how I look at it, it looks like blood···.”

“Ahaha, I guess I spilled something while running in a hurry. Okay, let’s quickly focus on unpacking. There’s a lot to pack.”

I said that and quickly rolled up my sleeves. If I get caught doing something like this, I might get tired.

The curse of distortion that has taken hold of my body can be overcome with something like this.

The picture is already forming. From the wizard who is whining about who the hell killed him, to the thief who mutters that he is suspicious, to the knight who asks where the blood came from…

Also, if you answer truthfully, they won’t believe you properly because of the curse of distrust.

‘Well, just thinking about it makes my head hurt.’

It is best to avoid such tiring tasks.

Fortunately, perhaps because she didn’t see it properly, the saint didn’t ask me any further questions.

Just staring at my left sleeve for a long time…

The voice of the saint is heard, quietly muttering with a frown.

“What the hell are you doing······.”

It seems that it is impossible to avoid the saint’s suspicious gaze.

Still, it seemed like he was trying to quietly bury the issue, as he didn’t say anything to the party members.

thank god.

Because I’m doing something much more important than the source of that kind of blood right now.

Our warrior party was finally having some personal time and was in the process of unpacking.

Because now it’s time to slowly move on to a new place.

You will need to plan and pack thoroughly as you may be spending anywhere from a few days to several months there.

It’s clear that there won’t be much break time anymore, so you’ll need to prepare yourself mentally.

Yes, that’s right.

We have finally arrived.

The castle of Balkan, the first of the Four Heavenly Kings and the King of Insects.

In the insect community.

As if to show off his power, a huge castle bathed in dark colors is visible.

It was so vast and huge that the building looked more like a country than a castle.

In fact, it was not much different from what was said.

Because his royal palace, inhabited by hundreds of millions of insects, was already no different from a country.

We are effectively going into an enemy country with tens of thousands of enemies with only five people.

There is only one goal.

To cut off the head of the king who reigns supreme at the center.

Just hearing the difficulty level makes me vomit…

‘But what can I do?’

Well, I have to do it. If only to clear this damn game.

So we entered the castle of King Chungwang.
