Episode 131:
Red sky and desert-like land.
Unidentifiable towers rising up everywhere.
It was all a scene that reminded me of the Abyss.
Nevertheless, the monsters called the inhabitants of the Abyss were not even visible.
It is difficult to call it a true Abyss.
[It’s boring.]
Taehyeon, lying down on a huge rock, muttered in the language of monsters.
Full redness and red eyes.
Although his appearance was the same as Taehyun who was dealing with Kentamion ‘outside’, the energy he felt was on a different level.
[You seem to have grown more than before.]
I could see the situation outside through my red eyes.
Taehyun was buying time against Kentamion.
[Tsk tsk. I can’t believe I’m having a hard time against a guy like that. It’s still not enough.]
He clicked his tongue and said.
Contrary to what he said, he was actually interested in Kentamion.
By human standards, it is an SS-rank monster called Centazenas.
A hybrid created by mixing the power of Archduke Orgal with the direct lineage of Kentagenas.
What would it have been like if this place was the Abyss and not Earth?
It was clear that he must have completely melted away the power flowing through his body and become the ruler of a region.
Like Kaiselin, who ruled the Yongin Tower.
Against such a being, Taehyun was waging an equal attack and defense.
I tested my newly acquired skills and succeeded in pushing it to the brink of predation.
It was not like before that they were attacked unilaterally or helped by Rosaria.
Considering that the body was human, it was a surprising achievement.
[But that’s not your power.]
If things continue like this, Taehyun will succeed in preying on Centamion without difficulty.
Their physical abilities will increase to such an extent that it is ridiculous to call them growth-type awakeners.
His stronger body would succeed in waking him up, but soon another Taehyun shook his head.
[I can’t reach ‘that guy’ by relying on my own strength.]
That’s why he decided to interfere with the body’s control.
If the intervention before was to save Taehyun’s life, now it was to put Taehyun’s life in danger.
First of all, horsepower was limited.
Next, the skill was sealed.
Taehyun reacted violently, but he didn’t care.
This is because he will come forward before he dies anyway.
[You need to grow more than you are now. But the current sentimental attitude is not enough.]
There was a need for a more fierce, cruel, and miserable defeat.
How carefree you have been living.
Realizing how the power you possess is of a nature that can make all the difference.
Losing this battle was worth it.
Quang.
Centamion, who came back from the dead, began to run wild.
On the other hand, Taehyun, whose skills were sealed, was helpless.
[It’s miserable.] Maybe
it’s the aftereffects of risking everything from the attack a little while ago, but he’s not even able to dodge properly.
Although I am the one who sealed all the skills.
[Tsk. I should have unlocked at least one skill.]
I couldn’t help but click my tongue at the sight of him losing a limb in an instant.
I felt like I had to admit that Kim Tae-hyun was just this good.
If you don’t take action yourself, the dish will be completely ruined.
at that time.
Taehyun started eating off the arm of a woman named Ayoung.
The magic power contained in those arms.
By human standards, magic power equivalent to a low S class flowed into the body.
The unexpected action awakened a new power imprinted in my body.
[Ohh. Does this mean it comes out like this?]
Taehyun giggled and shook his head.
Because there was no formal contract, it was not registered as a skill.
The power of Archduke Igmun.
Feeling the blood-red magic flowing into the world of images.
[Well, I have no choice but to admit it.]
Taehyun sat down again.
I felt like I had to admit it this time.
His will to survive.
That was enough for now.
* * *
Tiring.
[Skill Blood Rush (AA) has been activated. The body becomes activated.]
Taehyun’s eyes turned red.
Instead of the dark red magic power that had been used so far, bright red magic power bloomed.
A new message window appeared before my eyes.
[A great power awakens. Muscle strength increases. Strength has increased to 250.]
[A great power awakens. Stamina increases. Stamina has reached 250.]
[A great power awakens. The speed increases. Speed has become 250.]
[A great power awakens. Magic power increases. Magic power has increased to 300.]
Quad deud deuk. Quad deuk.
Crack. Wood clatter.
Limbs began to regenerate with an eerie sound.
Skin that cannot be said to be human, discolored red.
The monster’s limbs sprouted.
‘I expected this much.’
There is no risk in using the power of the Archduke.
Rather, we should consider ourselves fortunate that things are like this for now.
Perhaps this is the limit to the skills that Taehyun can accept now.
‘All stats 250. It’s close.’
This is Taehyeon, who once dealt with Zhang Linfeng, who used ‘Bloody Rush’.
I fully know how great my current physical abilities are.
Nevertheless, victory against Kentamion could not be guaranteed.
This is because other skills are still sealed.
The hidden card of predation had also disappeared, so there was only one way.
‘The magic stone must be destroyed.’
To do this, the limb needed to be completely regenerated.
Taehyun suppressed his boiling energy and looked at Centamion.
If you’re going to come, come.
But you won’t be safe either.
Centamion fell silent at the obvious provocation.
[….]
He was also feeling similar emotions to Taehyun.
A different energy and intimidation than before.
My whole body was crushed.
But even just regenerating it isn’t enough, does it still have this much strength left?
Isn’t the energy he’s emitting now a force he’s familiar with?
Like the Demon Beast King Orgal, another great power that rules the Abyss.
[You guy. What is it really? Could it be a hybrid created by the Archduke?]
“….”
Taehyun wrapped himself in blood-red magic without answering.
The limbs had already finished regenerating.
Dangerous.
Kentamion’s intuition told him so.
I didn’t do anything stupid like jump out of excitement.
Instead, what he chose was a power-up.
It ate numerous corpses lying around.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The corpses of monsters and humans were torn apart without hesitation by the sharp teeth.
Crack. Clang.
The arms and legs that Taehyun lost were regenerated.
Four legs. Two arms.
With that alone, the original magical power was restored.
[you also. Tear it to shreds. I’ll eat it.]
It was around the same time that Taehyun’s limbs and Kentamion’s limbs were completely regenerated.
Centamion’s halberd was aimed at Taehyun, and Taehyun quickly dodged it.
‘The body is light.’
The speed stat I reached for the first time was 250.
It was different from the times I had been fighting with insufficient stats.
Taehyun is now.
I have acquired a body that will not be defeated even if I engage in an all-out war with SS+ grade monsters.
In an instant, Taehyun’s body disappeared.
and.
Quang.
The strike hit Kentamion’s huge lower body.
[…!!]
Centamion’s lower body, which had been holding on firmly, shook.
The halberd was swung quickly.
I was planning on splitting my body in two.
Suddenly.
All it took was a shallow cut to the shoulder.
The aim failed due to the sudden change in movement.
[This guy… Why can a human being wield this level of power?]
Taehyun did not answer.
I don’t have time to play with this guy anymore.
A heart that beats as if it will explode.
Blood boiling as if it would flow back.
I felt that the moment I could sustain the skill was not long.
‘Finish it quickly.’
An attack so overwhelming that it cannot regenerate.
Even the memories of my past life.
There was only one card Taehyun could pull out.
An ancient Chinese martial art learned while fighting Tsai Ming-min and Zhang Lin-feng.
Taehyun’s body rushed towards Centamion.
I dodged the halberd by just a piece of paper and attacked the guy’s lower body.
Type 2 Chongyeong.
Quang.
Type 3 Cheokgyeong.
Kwaaang.
Type 4 Sungyeong.
Quang.
Centamion’s legs took a step back for the first time.
250 strength speed stamina.
The three stats and ancient martial arts were in harmony, producing explosive synergy.
Non-stop.
The Type 5 penetrator was successful.
Kwaaaang.
Kentamion, who momentarily missed Taehyun’s movement, stumbled and was pushed back.
can not understand.
Clearly, his strength is no different from before.
On the contrary, he came close to death several times.
And yet.
why.
I.
Are you being pushed?
[Kaaaa!!!]
Centamion threw down the halberd and roared.
Muscles swelled.
Kugu soup. Kuguguguguguguk.
The inflated muscles inflated and the inflated muscles inflated the body.
It looked like a huge shield.
If you can’t keep up with the speed.
[Isn’t it okay to wait?]
All you have to do is withstand its attacks and rip off its head.
Sigh.
Centamion waited for the next attack.
Thinking that that attack would be Taehyun’s last.
But it was the same for Taehyun.
‘This is the last time.’
Blood-red magic was concentrated in the legs and arms.
Taehyun prepared his stance for the final attack.
Sixth form of ancient Chinese martial arts. Shin Hwa-kyung.
The new figure, who held his hands like those of a wild beast, has disappeared.
When it reappeared.
Phew.
Taehyun’s right hand was piercing Centamion’s chest.
Centamion belatedly grabbed Taehyun’s left arm.
Crash.
The bones of half the body are broken.
Nevertheless.
Taehyun didn’t care and grabbed his right hand.
Damn it.
I felt a crack in Kentamion’s magic stone.
[What is this power… why…]
Jureuk.
Black blood flowed from its hideous mouth.
Push profit.
As the magic contained in the magic stone drained, the body began to shrivel.
SS+ grade. SS grade. S+ grade. S grade.
Uncontrollable deterioration progressed.
Kentamion screamed and roared, and Taehyun did not wait for it to destroy itself.
“That kind of thing. Find out in hell.”
Wow.
At the same time as extracting the magic stone.
Cooung.
Centamion’s large figure fell.
* * *
Office of the President of the Japan Players Association.
Association President Masataka Kubota watched the shaking video.
“I won!! Taehyun Kim defeated the monster!!!”
A man who introduced himself as Jake Maxim shouted, regardless of the shaky video.
The camera he was holding showed a large monster and a bloody Taehyeon.
There was a close-up of Kentamion, who died after the magic stone was pulled out.
The last thing we saw was Taehyun, who looked down for a moment, lift Ayoung up and disappear.
Next, Japanese players were shown clearing out the remaining monsters.
The war is ending toward victory.
dump.
Chairman Kubota collapsed in his chair.
A hollow smile appeared on his face.
Now all eyes will be on Kim Tae-hyun.
The first player to attack an SS-class monster single-handedly.
With such a player, the status of New Korea will increase, and with this strategy as a stepping stone, it will rise to the position of a world power.
“Ha… Haha… Hahaha….”
Chairman Kubota burst out laughing.
The plan you prepared.
The honor I wanted to enjoy.
It was all intercepted.
Is that all?
I belatedly remembered the ‘Awakened Oath’ I had made with Taehyun.
This is what Taehyun asked for in return for dealing with Kentamion.
Past history. Territorial invasion. Biological experiments, etc.
He vowed to personally reveal all the evil acts that the Japanese government had been trying to cover up.
Although I signed it in a hurry.
That was a promise that the head of a country’s players’ association should not have made.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…”
Chairman Kubota burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind.
If I live like this, I will only become Taehyun’s puppet.
It was clear that Prime Minister Suga would not leave him like that.
He took out the gun he had kept in his pocket.
It was time to make the choice I had been putting off, and the answer was already decided.
“Chick show.”
Taang.
A hollow gunshot rang out.
