Chapter 19 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 19

The chapter opens with the narrator and Emit Schopenhauer facing the Ten Legs monster, a colossal entity that moves on tens of thousands of regenerating, hand-like arms, leaving a trail of blood described as the 'Red Carpet.' The narrator and Emit, along with six hundred soldiers, advance as Dang Seo-rin begins her 'Cursed Song' magic from behind. Her spell works by layering repetitive chants to amplify and enhance the fighters' abilities. The battle is revealed to be a recurring cycle; the first few 'runs' end in disaster as the Ten Legs feigns retreat, triggers underground spikes, and kills Dang Seo-rin and Emit. In the seventh through ninth runs, Emit and the narrator continue to charge despite the casualties, relying on Dang Seo-rin’s escalating melodies which provide reflex enhancement and weapon strength. By the tenth run, the strategy shifts. Dang Seo-rin successfully chants the tenth melody, a petrification curse, which temporarily turns the monster’s incoming spikes to stone. This creates a crucial window for the attackers. The narrator and Emit dive into the monster’s mass, coordinating their strikes to hit its dual eyeball-hearts. They drive their weapons deep into the eyes, causing the creature to freeze momentarily. The narrator asks if they succeeded, prompting the monster to explode in blood and death. The battle concludes with the subjugation of the Ten Legs after forty-one minutes of cyclic fighting. Survivors rush to hug the exhausted victors. Constellation notifications bless the victory. Dang Seo-rin, hoarse but relieved, jokes about reclaiming land south of the Han River and suggests eating, while Emit grumpily complains about octopus sashimi before the narrator notes the celebration meal was pork belly.
