Episode 57
Kugugu Palace.
[Aaaah… What is this power…]
[Oh my. Are you being crushed?]
[Caught. Aren’t you going to die like this?]
The Knight King’s spirit was focused on the monsters that were judged to be Grand Succubi.
The magic stat is 200. This
is because Taehyun has grown so dramatically that he can fight three S-class monsters at the same time.
Cooung. Cooung. Wow.
Even beings who were considered grand succubi in the world were unable to move even a single step due to the crushing pressure.
“Okay then. Shall we take some time to get to know each other?”
Sigh.
When Taehyun snapped his fingers, the skill ‘Paralysis’ was added to ‘Knight King’s Awesomeness’.
The magic power increased to 200, and not only did the power become stronger.
As skill level also increased, more diverse techniques were possible.
[weird? My body is getting stiffer~]
[Caughter. This is a skill called paralysis.]
[Are we really going to die?]
A Grand Succubus who is still relaxed even though she is being attacked by two S-rank skills overlapping.
Taehyun clicked his tongue as he looked at them.
It was thought that although they succeeded in blocking their movement, they could not bring out their full power.
Taehyun did not waste time and gradually increased the output of his skills.
These are the guys who might make a pact of summoning.
There was no harm in knowing each other’s compatibility and limitations in advance.
‘Knight King’s Passion’ output 70%. 75%. 80%… 90%.
‘Can I endure this much?’
Even though Taehyun’s little by little increase in magic power is already reaching maximum magic power.
[Cawrrrr. I’m dying. I’m dying.]
[Do something~]
[It’s strange~]
The succubi in front of me were still not taking it seriously.
‘These guys. ‘Do you really believe in something?’
Ordinary succubi have no means of attack other than mental attacks.
However, she was a succubus from deep within.
A group of grand succubi living in an unusual place.
Taehyun’s intuition was warning him not to look at them easily.
‘Whatever you’re hiding. ‘I’ll make you spit it all out.’
Taehyun raised his magical power without hesitation.
‘The spirit of the knight king’ reached 100% output in an instant.
[Skill Knight King’s mettle (B) has reached its limit. [Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Taehyun continued the skill without paying attention to the message in front of him.
Kugugugugugung.
Its power was enough to shake the castle in an instant.
Only then did the Grand Succubus’ expression become ‘a little’ serious.
[Cawrrrr. I can’t do this anymore.]
[If I keep going like this, the castle will collapse~]
[It’s a waste to just kill him.]
Ssssssut.
It seemed as if Taehyun was using the stealth skill.
The Grand Succubus’ body slowly began to fade.
The difference is that, unlike stealth, the appearance disappears along with the presence.
The Grand Succubus’ body has become translucent.
Taehyun’s eyes lit up as he watched the change.
‘Spiritualize. It’s worthy of being called Grand.’
Spiritualization that blocks not only physical attacks but also magical attacks.
I’ve never heard of a succubus turning into a spirit, but Taehyun would be upset if he didn’t do something like this.
“Have you finished everything you want to show me?”
A group of grand succubi who escaped from the ‘Knight King’s spirit’ through spirit form surrounded Taehyeon.
Two horns on the wings of a bat.
And the body of a human woman, uncharacteristically sexy as a monster.
It’s so stark that I can’t find anywhere to place my eyes.
Taehyun didn’t make the foolish mistake of looking away.
This is not an imitation of the player visiting the castle, but the true appearance of the Grand Succubus.
This is because there is nothing more foolish than turning a blind eye to these girls who are worthy of being called top-class monsters.
Canceling ‘The Awesomeness of the King of Knights’.
Taehyun, thinking about their uses, curled the corners of his mouth.
Where is this place? I don’t know why it has the shape of a castle.
There must be a reason why the gate that originated from the summoning skill led Taehyun here.
‘Not bad for a Grand Succubus.’
Whether it is a physical awakened person or a magical awakened person.
The only way to block mental attacks.
That means having magic resistance based on a high magic stat.
Otherwise, you need to awaken a special skill like Taehyun’s Predation.
However, because items and skills related to magic stats were rare in the first place.
The situation was such that there was virtually no way for ordinary players to easily deal with it.
Yoo Ah-young, one of New Korea’s leading rankers, also could not escape Grand Phoenix’s mental control.
So there is nothing more to say about the players below.
‘If I do well, I could use it usefully in a friendly match.’
The Grand Succubus’ physical defense seemed to be beyond the average, so this was an acceptable level for Taehyun’s summoned beast.
Taehyun passed by, cutting down a laughing succubus right in front of him.
Even though the head was cut accurately, there was no feeling in the talisman.
[Cawrrrr. That’s no use~]
[I guess they’re not scared of us.]
[He’s an interesting guy~]
Taehyun checked the skill window while listening to the girls’ words.
‘But why is there no reaction?’
In order to make an oath of summoning, you must awaken skills related to the contract.
The problem was that the methods varied depending on the skill.
A typical example is when, like Taehyeon, one uses a gate to move to a place where a monster suitable for the ‘level’ is located.
after that.
There were two main ways to conclude the ‘Pledge of Summoning’.
Or give the monster what it wants.
‘Either subdue the monster.’
Taehyun’s answer was already decided.
Monsters were originally defined as enemies of humans.
Although it is said that it is a covenant.
It is also a contractual relationship concluded due to mutual interests due to superiority in power.
If even a small gap is visible.
It was not even a rare situation for a monster to threaten the skill user’s life.
In fact, it was a sight that Taehyun had seen quite a few times even when he was working as a porter.
‘Of course, most of those guys were low-level monsters. There’s no harm in being careful.’
It has been confirmed that in its current state, no damage can be done to the spirit embodiment.
Taehyun used ‘Stone Skin’ as the next best option.
Wood clatter.
“Let’s try to get you all to submit first.”
[Caught.]
[I guess I have something else to show you~]
[You’ll find out when you try it~]
The Grand Succubus’ eyes sparkled as she looked at the stone skin wrapped around her body.
Taehyun also immediately activated ‘Chains of Restraint’.
It was at the same time that the message window appeared.
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was caught by an ‘ominous force’. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance was successful.]
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was caught by an ‘ominous force’. It resists with mysterious power. There was some success in resistance. Magic power penetrates. The speed decreases.]
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was caught by an ‘ominous force’. It resists with mysterious power. There was some success in resistance. Magic power penetrates. My vision is reversed.]
My body becomes heavy and my vision is reversed.
‘These guys are bigger than I thought.’
It is a predation that even blocked the Grand Phoenix’s mental attack.
Even though three people attacked at the same time, it was acceptable to have enough power to break through such a predation.
Of course, it’s not like we can turn the battle around right away.
Taehyun didn’t think it was a big deal and took a step forward.
The one in bad condition was actually the Grand Succubus.
[Cawrrrr. What is this again?]
[That human. There are a lot of strange techniques~]
[Ahaha. I really want to try this man~]
‘Chains of Binding’ tracks magical power.
If you have overwhelming physical and magical power like Bone Dragon or Grand Phoenix, you may be able to unlock the skill.
‘It doesn’t apply to you.’
Taehyun clenched his fists.
The chains surrounding the Grand Succubus tightened even more.
[Oh my. Why is it like this?]
[It’s back to normal?]
[Caught. It hurts~]
Taehyun used the ‘paralysis’ skill once again while looking at the Grand Succubus whose spirit form had been released.
Just as we combined ‘the spirit of the knight king’ and ‘paralysis’, this time we combined ‘chains of restraint’ and ‘paralysis’.
Taehyun approached one of the Grand Succubus who couldn’t move.
Hehehehe.
The dark red magic flowing through the talisman made an eerie sound.
“I came to make a pact of summons. “Only one person will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.”
Taehyun, aiming the talisman at the Grand Succubus’ neck, checked the status window.
If it is as per standard.
By now, the skill ‘Contract with the Devil’ would have been transformed into a new form for making a summons pact.
However.
[I am not a party to the contract.]
‘What?’
Taehyun’s body flinched at the message window that popped up.
The Grand Succubus, who understood the meaning, burst into laughter.
[Cawrrrr. Are you a guest of the queen?]
[Caught up. It’s a shame~ I thought he was a pretty nice guy.]
[Aren’t you going to let me off this? If you make a lot of noise, the queen will scold you~]
‘Queen?’
If you were an average player, you wouldn’t have understood it and wouldn’t have paid attention to it.
But Taehyun was different.
He was not an average player, and his intuition, which had overcome countless adversities, once again warned him of something ominous.
‘In a huge castle located deep in the depths… there are three grand succubi who are worthy of reigning as dungeon bosses… and who is the queen…?!!’
It was a time when I felt an eerie feeling about the newly emerging hypothesis.
It was different from before.
The voice of a different monster rang out in my head.
[I can’t believe they shook the main woman’s last name like this. It was not a guest, but an uninvited guest.]
Even though it was clearly the same monster’s language, it was clearly different.
It’s completely different from the Death Knight Lord, Grand Phoenix, and Grand Succubus I faced before.
It was a voice that exuded dignity and intimidation.
[Cawrrrr. Queen~]
[Crackling. Sorry for disturbing you, Queen~]
[Please help me, Queen~]
The voice was not only heard by Taehyun.
The trapped Grand Succubi began to shout in voices without a sense of danger.
At the same time, an incredible message window appeared before my eyes.
Tiring.
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was caught by a ‘great power’. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance failed. All skills in use are canceled.]
There was no way for Taehyun to do anything.
As the skill was lifted, the ‘chains of restraint’ and ‘paralysis’ that were suppressing the Grand Succubi were lifted.
The monsters that had regained their freedom laughed louder than ever.
and.
[Caarrrrrr.]
[Sisters, I play with you~]
[You’re a customer~]
[Are you going to eat me?]
[You said you’re the queen’s guest~]
[Let’s take her to the queen~]
[Cawrrrrrr~]
As if it’s been until now . It was as if he was hiding and watching.
Hundreds of Grand Succubi appeared from all directions.
Ssssssut.
Sssssss.
Sssssssut.
Taehyun, who was watching them all turn into spirits, let out a laugh.
There are hundreds of Grand Succubi that can be seen right now.
“This is crazy…”
All Taehyun, with all his skills unlocked, can do.
Wow.
All I had to do was give strength to the hand holding the talisman.
‘I might have to risk my life…’
It was the moment when I was about to move to go first.
Tiring.
An unwelcome message window appeared.
