Episode 58
[‘A great force’ is at work. Strength decreases by 20.]
[‘Great power’ is at work. Stamina decreases by 20.]
[‘Great power’ is at work. Speed is reduced by 20.]
[‘A great force’ is at work. Magic power decreases by 20.]
The ability value of 20 is not small enough to turn A grade into S grade.
Since his abilities had decreased by 80 overall, the pressure Taehyun felt was considerable.
The cold sweat flowing from my whole body was already soaking the floor.
‘You have to get out of here first.’
Taehyun once again used ‘chains of restraint’.
However.
[‘A great force’ is at work. It resists with mysterious power. Resistance failed. Skill use is not possible. Available skills: 1/8]
“I’m going crazy.”
Taehyun hurriedly opened the status window and checked the skill window.
All skills except ‘predation’ were disabled.
He clicked his tongue and awakened the magic of predation.
‘In the end, the only one I can trust is you.’
Quaaaaa.
Dark red magical power began to spread around.
Hundreds of Grand Succubi.
It took less than 5 seconds for the dark red magic to settle beneath their feet.
[Cawrrrr. What is this?]
[It’s really fun.]
[Caught up. Sisters, what is this?]
[I don’t know~]
[Let’s eat it quickly~ cackle~]
Taehyun exhaled, looking at them who still didn’t feel the sense of danger.
‘Tsk. ‘Those who act differently from what they appear to be are just kids.’
There is nothing more scary than children with powers.
Taehyun was feeling exactly like that right now.
Fighting against this number of ‘Grands’ in a place where you don’t even know where it is.
Although we will not inevitably lose.
It was not difficult to predict that Taehyun would also have a hard time staying safe.
“The one that approaches first dies. “If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself.”
That was why I bought time by trying to have a conversation.
However.
Tiring.
[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 body became paralyzed.]
A huge number of message windows appeared.
At the same time, Taehyun’s body began to take immediate damage.
‘shit!!’
There were no more options.
I left my increasingly heavy body behind and unleashed my power of predation.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
“Eat it all!!”
Dark red magic power that climbs up your feet and instantly envelops your body.
The Grand Succubi, unable to resist the power of predation, burst into laughter.
[Cawrrrr. What is this?]
[It’s a strange power.]
Is it because they didn’t expect the disaster that would happen in a while?
The Grand Succubi were busy laughing.
Wow.
When Taehyun clenched his fist, the real predation began.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
Kwasik. Kwazijic.
In an instant, the castle was filled with the screams of the Grand Succubus.
Although some of them succeeded in escaping.
Quadddddd.
I had to struggle again as the magic power attacked me again.
Taehyun was also not in a good situation.
The overall physical abilities went down.
In that situation, I was bombarded with ridiculous skills.
Although some defenses were successful with the power of predation, panic was setting in as the five senses had already been lost.
I felt my magic power go to the floor without even having time to take out the potion.
at that time.
[Stop.]
The voice echoed in my head once again.
Queen of nightmares and mother of all succubi.
It was an order from Succubus Queen Rosaria.
Is there any player who listens to the orders of monsters?
‘You can make up for the lack of magical power through predation. This kind of nonsense…’
Taehyun ignored her words and tried to resume his predation, but…
he stood tall.
The magic power of the wild predator trembled.
‘The predation… has stopped?’
Eventually, the magical power of predation gathered on Taehyeon, leaving behind its target.
It was a sight I had never experienced before.
As their magical powers were withdrawn, the Grand Succubi, whose body parts had been devoured, fell one by one.
[Cawrrrr. We died and came back to life.]
[The queen saved us~]
[Crackling. Long live the queen~]
‘….’
He quickly took out a potion from his backpack.
Taehyun watched the situation.
Healing potion, fatigue potion, magic potion, stamina potion, abnormal status potion, etc.
After drinking multiple potions, my body began to recover quickly.
‘If the skill had lasted just a little longer, permanent damage would have occurred.’
Taehyun exhaled as his five senses returned.
The Queen’s intervention not only saved the Grand Succubi’s life, but also Taehyun’s life.
It was not a bad result for both parties.
[Guys. Stop fooling around and bring a guest. I have to meet him in person.]
This time, the voice was so loud that it rang in the castle, not in my head.
At that command, the Grand Succubi stood up one by one and laughed as if they had been screaming for some time.
[Cawrrrr. The queen said to bring it~]
[You weren’t giving it to us~?]
[Caught up. It’s a waste~]
[This way~]
[I’ll guide you~]
The Grand Succubuses retreat to both sides in an instant.
Some of them claimed to be guides.
As Taehyun was unable to move willingly, a voice rang in his head again.
[If you want to play with those kids again, I won’t stop you. This is the mother’s last consideration. You weren’t invited.]
When the situation reached this point, Taehyun had only one option.
“good. “Let’s take a look at that proud face and talk.”
Taehyun snickered and followed behind the Grand Succubus who took the lead.
* * *
The Grand Succubus that was guiding Taehyun suddenly stopped.
It was in a place where there was a huge throne.
There was no queen there.
[Hehehe. This is the end of the guide.]
[It’s a shame~ Caught.]
[Caught. Queen, we’ll go~]
Ssssss.
Before Taehyun had time to react, the Grand Succubi in spirit form disappeared.
‘Where is the queen?’
Moment.
Today, a particularly familiar message window popped up again.
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was caught by a ‘great power’. It resists with mysterious power. There was some success in resistance. The magic power that could not be resisted penetrates.]
“Wow.”
dump.
Taehyun, holding his neck, knelt on the spot.
A life that will blow your mind.
‘Die.’
Helplessness and fear before death.
A feeling I’ve never felt since returning.
Taehyun was tightened more vividly than ever.
“Ugh…”
Taehyun, who had gathered his mind as if it was about to break, used predation.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
It was an instinctive struggle.
Is it because he senses the danger his owner poses?
Even though Taehyun did not specify a target, dark red magical power enveloped the throne.
and.
Kwasik. Kwazijic.
Magical power began to consume the throne.
It was as if there was something there that Taehyun couldn’t see.
Kwachang.
The illusion barrier was lifted with a cracking sound.
“Huh… Huh….”
I exhaled with difficulty and looked at the being in front of me.
Bat wings. Two horns. A sultry figure in the form of a woman.
However, the Grand Succubus does not have giant tentacles with no end in sight.
There was a being there, with hundreds and thousands of tentacles wriggling under the bridge.
Taehyun took a deep breath.
[I was planning on blowing up my limbs. It’s an interesting power.]
It was the language of monsters.
The woman sitting on the throne looked down at Taehyeon arrogantly and said.
“Are you… the queen?”
Even in my past life, I had never heard of a succubus, let alone a grand succubus, having a queen.
A huge castle where it is hard to believe that monsters live.
Hundreds of Grand Succubi inhabit the castle.
A being outside the standard that they call queen.
perhaps.
Taehyun thought that he might face his second death.
And the other person’s answer confirmed that his prediction was correct.
[okay. The woman’s name is Rosaria. She is the mother of all nightmares.]
* * *
“Rosaria?”
“Rosaria?”
Rosaria, the queen of nightmares.
She imitated Taehyun’s speaking style.
His Korean skills were perfect.
“I’m going crazy. “A monster can speak human language.”
It’s surprising that humans can understand the words of monsters, but now the opposite is happening.
If others know this fact, their existing common sense about monsters will be overturned.
“Hehe. “There is nothing to be surprised about.”
Rosaria’s gaze pointed to Taehyun’s side.
OK.
Ssssssut.
As if the stealth skill was canceled.
Something that was hidden was revealed.
“…!!”
A being that was originally a human, but has now lost its human form.
“You’re on guard. “Didn’t you come because you had something to do with my wife?”
At Rosaria’s words, Taehyun checked the skill window.
[I am the subject of the contract. The oath of summoning is possible.]
Taehyun exhaled once again.
How could it be that a being with hundreds of Grand Succubi was designated as the target of the contract?
I couldn’t figure out whether to call this lucky or unlucky.
But since I came this far, I had to say something.
“Succubus Queen Rosaria. “I came to make a ‘pledge of summoning’ with you.”
“Hehe. How dare you make a contract with your wife? “For all that, it looks poor?”
Quaaaaa.
The only power Taehyun can use right now.
It awakened the power of predation.
Anyway, it makes no sense to expect mercy from monsters.
It was thought that unless the other party was interested in the contract, there would be no choice but to force them into submission.
‘Worst case. Even if I had to go on a rampage with predation…’
Because the opponent in front of me was worth taking that risk.
Taehyun was already assuming the worst.
“I can’t believe you tried to deal with the main woman with that much strength. “I guess this is what we call cute in human language.”
Rosaria smiled as she looked at Taehyun, who had a desperate expression on his face.
That smile was incredibly charming.
“It won’t be that easy. “Queen.”
Quadddddd.
Taehyun unleashed his predatory power to its maximum.
yet again.
Dark red magical power engulfed the area.
Only Rosaria was sitting leisurely on the throne.
The corner of her mouth quirked up as she saw the magical energy fluttering around her.
Taehyeon, who was given the power of a king.
Rosaria has the power of a queen.
Quaoooooo.
Pazzzzz.
Two pairs of red eyes with unusual power met each other.
Pajik. Pajijik.
Just by looking at it, sparks flew around.
‘If you relax even a little, you will die.’
Taehyun watched her movements while holding the talisman.
However, Rosaria showed no movement from the throne.
[It’s been a while since a proper customer came to visit.]
The moment I felt her eyes turn a little redder.
[Let’s take a quick look.]
Pajik –
Taehyun’s vision turned dark.
