Episode 153
Taehyun looked at the two women approaching him.
Both of them are using green magic power.
However, the method of use was completely different.
Yoo Ah-young.
The leader of the Night Walkers, whom Taehyun met after becoming an S-rank player.
She was the type that preferred close combat.
He put pressure on his opponent with his spirit or overpowered him with his strengthened body.
Meeting Taehyun stimulated him and he constantly pushed himself and used his skills to the point where his strength grew to the point where it reached the level of national strength.
and Ricky Harlis.
Unlike Ayoung, she had the power of a national power from the beginning.
A strong individual who is at the top of the national power level, symbolizing the power of the nation.
Among the magician series, he has awakened three skills and created various applications.
Its power was enough to hit even SS-class monsters if given enough time.
Ayoung, who can also play a tank role, and Ricky Harlis, who has a variety of attacks and one punch.
Even in Taehyun’s opinion, the combination of the two was not bad.
That’s why I changed my mind about dealing with it right away.
[Let’s play for a moment.]
Ssssssut.
Taehyun’s body disappeared in an instant.
Ayoung and Ricky Hallis flinched at the sudden situation.
Even when he wasn’t in his right mind or taking things seriously, he was a difficult person to deal with.
But what if you decide to use the skill?
gulp.
‘shit. ‘It doesn’t make sense just to erase one debt.’
Ricky Harlis swallowed dry saliva and concentrated on controlling and feeling the magic power.
Stealth is a skill originally revealed to B-grade awakeners.
Although some strong players rose to S rank through training or talent.
It was a skill with clear limitations.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
The magical energy leaking from her body surrounded her like a vine.
Fazizik.
Something caught me not far away.
Sigh.
Ricky Hallis clapped his hands together.
The magical power spread like a spider web and formed a net.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young!!”
As if Ayoung understood, sparks quickly rushed to the spot.
Wow.
Her sword was blocked by something invisible.
However, there was no need to worry as long as the target was captured.
Kyaang. Kyaang. Kyaang.
The sword she was swinging struck something invisible and made a loud noise.
Holding that image in my eyes.
Ricky Harlis waited for the next break.
‘Strange.’
Stealth is bound to break when subjected to a strong shock.
That is a fatal weakness of the skill, separate from magic control.
With the power that Ayoung wields now, the ‘Stealth’ skill should have already been canceled.
however.
‘Why isn’t it released?’
Ricky Harlis’ eyes turned questioning.
He was a man whose identity I could not figure out.
Not only did he possess national strength at a young age, he single-handedly defeated an SS-class monster.
It’s surprising that a man like that failed to overflow with skills, but he uses power close to that of a monster.
‘That’s strange.’
Only the form is human.
Looking at the specs alone, it was no less than an SS-class monster.
She once again acknowledged Taehyun as a non-standard being and poured the potion into her mouth.
I felt a strange taste as the healing potion and magic potion mixed together.
‘Now that it’s like this…’
She concentrated 70% of her magical power on Ayoung.
An even more intense light emanated from the armor and sword surrounding Ayoung’s body.
Skills ‘Weapon Strengthening’ and ‘Body Strengthening’.
Even if it was used by controlling magical power, it was not a very efficient technology.
but.
She was different, as her magical power control reached the peak even among humans.
The magical power he possessed was completely converted into Ayoung’s insufficient abilities.
Experience and abilities.
After obtaining both, Ayoung’s sword became faster and faster.
Kyaang. Kyaang. Gang.
Taehyun couldn’t be seen right away, but
he could tell that her sword was gradually pushing forward.
It didn’t take long to produce results.
Suddenly.
Her sword cut something.
At the same time, Taehyun’s hiding was released.
Toouk.
Taehyun’s severed arm fell to the floor.
Ayoung’s sword overcame Taehyeon’s arm, which was strengthened with magical power.
Taehyun grinned as he looked at his arm rolling around on the floor.
[this. The robber is worse than I thought.]
That wasn’t what I was saying to Ayoung.
[I was able to catch them with such magical power… After all, it is useful for a human.]
Ayoung let out an incomprehensible sound and swung the sword again.
It was to cut off Taehyun’s other arm.
at that time.
Teong.
“…!!”
Ayoung’s eyes widened at the unbelievable sight.
Ricky Harlis, who was watching, did the same.
Literally in an instant.
Tae-hyun’s severed arm regenerated and caught A-young’s sword.
The ultra-rare S-rank skill ‘ultra-fast regeneration’ that only saints in the world have.
But the result was quite different.
What Taehyun regenerated was a strange thing that could not be called a human arm.
Rather than a human arm, it was closer to the arm worn by a humanoid monster.
That’s it.
Ayoung’s sword was caught in Taehyeon’s hand and made a clanging sound.
[Did you think it was the end?]
Taehyun laughed bitterly.
Step by step.
A sword that is a mixture of Ayoung’s magic and Ricky Harlis’s magic.
The sword, which can cut through even unique grade items, made an uneasy sound.
and.
Crack.
Ssssss.
The sword, which could not withstand Taehyun’s grip, lost its shape and disappeared.
Embarrassed, Ayoung took a step back without realizing it.
The skill went out of control and some of my reason was paralyzed.
I thought the fear I felt from the power gap was paralyzed.
But looking at Taehyun’s smiling face, I could clearly tell.
The swords he had desperately swung just moments ago were a joke to him.
This means that the imprinted fear has not yet disappeared.
“damage!!”
I came to my senses late to Ricky Harlis’ shout.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Before I knew it, a magical chain had been created around Ahyoung.
Taehyun’s skill was ‘Chains of Restraint’.
One difference is that the embodied chain feels a magical power that cannot be compared to before.
This is the moment when Ayoung quickly tries to take a step back.
Couuuuuung.
The gravity of the area weighed down on her.
“Huh…”
It was a skill that Ayoung knew as ‘the spirit of the knight king.’
quaddddd.
Chains wrapped around Ayoung’s body, which failed to evade.
Crack. Quad deuk.
The chains tightened as if they were trying to crush her body.
Damn. So so so so so.
Just like the sword did.
There were cracks in the armor Ricky Harlis had created.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the armor was destroyed and her body was reduced to a piece of meat.
‘shit!!’
Ricky Harlis, who was watching, made the final move.
She poured out all of her remaining magical power and activated the skill.
Quaaaaa.
Hehehehe.
Giiiing.
Three different subspace gates opened around Taehyun.
It was a technology created solely based on understanding of magical power, not skill.
Although it was extremely small in size, the energy it gave off was not something to be taken lightly.
Three gates tightened around Taehyun’s body.
Pajijijik. Fazizik.
The gate that collided with Taehyun’s magic sparks flew.
‘Of course it won’t work to this extent.’
Ricky Harlis took out a magic amplification stone from his pocket.
A top-class magic amplification stone.
If this is used, Taehyun’s body will be torn to pieces.
It was clear that it would not end with serious injuries.
‘sorry. Taehyun Kim.’
Ricky Harlis used the amplification stone without hesitation.
As if using magical water, this time her natural magical power began to amplify.
Ugh. Ugh. Wooooow.
The three gates exploded and made anxious noises.
I was planning to blow Taehyun into subspace with the gate like this.
A technique assuming that you might be dealing with an SS-class monster.
‘There’s no way I can escape.’
The moment I thought that.
[It was a fun pastime.]
“…!!”
Before she could even react, the air changed.
My vision became blurry and my five senses became blurred.
Another skill of Taehyun.
It was ‘the world of monarchs.’
and.
Unlike her, whose magical power control began to falter, stronger magical energy flowed from Taehyun’s body.
Dark red magical power.
It was ‘predation’.
Ugh.
A huge maw swallowed the three gates.
“This is… a scam…”
He shakes it off.
Ricky Hallis, whose magical power began to flow back, collapsed in his seat.
There is no way the battle can take place.
I had to correct my thoughts.
The current Taehyun was no ordinary SS-level monster.
‘No way… SSS…?’
Before she knew it, Taehyun was looking down at her.
“Ha… I didn’t know I would die like this…”
Ricky Harlis looked up at Taehyun and muttered.
From the moment the regurgitation began, there were no more left.
I had a hunch.
That I can’t survive here.
That I would be killed by this ridiculous being.
just as expected.
Taehyun raised his head, his red eyes shining.
Then he whispered softly in her ear.
[Especially you. I won’t kill you right away.]
“What…”
Ricky Harlis couldn’t continue his words.
“…!!”
Her consciousness became blurred as she encountered Taehyun’s red eyes.
After a while.
Two women who were subjected to ‘chains of bondage’ and ‘complete hypnosis.’
The screams of Yoo Ah-young and Ricky Harlis filled the shelter.
* * *
“….”
A scenery that seems to have been copied exactly from the Abyss.
Taehyun flinched from his mental world.
No, I tried to flinch, but there was nothing I could do.
This is because everything that could be considered a limb was torn away.
“Damn it….”
Taehyun quietly stared at the red sky.
Where did it go wrong?
“What on earth is this….”
Numerous hypotheses about this guy came to mind.
Among them, the most likely hypothesis was that he might be the ‘King’.
‘no. The king I met wasn’t that crazy.’
At least he was more human than his current doppelganger.
Taehyun, who was thinking of a few more hypotheses, shook his head.
Even if I thought about it here, I couldn’t find an answer.
‘The Queen’s Man’ and ‘Blood Runaway’.
It doesn’t work here.
Other skills, and even the ‘predation’ that I believed in, did not work on him.
All the skills Taehyun used seemed backwards compatible to him.
“It’s not even funny.”
Taehyun cursed and tried to regenerate his limbs.
Just like that guy did.
This is because he thought that if it were a world of imagination, it would not be impossible for him either.
In fact, I could feel my limbs regenerating very little by little.
‘You idiot. What are you trying to do by just regenerating limbs?’
I already attacked with all my might and lost.
Even if the limbs regenerate.
Even if we meet again.
‘You can’t win.’
At least for now.
It was a conclusion I came to after encountering it myself.
‘As expected… Is that the only way?’
The last card I tried not to use as much as possible because I couldn’t guarantee life or death.
Now that all plans had failed, it seemed like there was nothing more to do.
This is because you don’t know what the guy who goes out will do with his body.
‘No matter how much Yoo Ah-young and Ricky Hallis are… they’re dangerous.’
Barriers and barriers cannot simply buy time.
Taehyun controlled his magic power without further ado.
Quaaaaa.
The very small amount of magical power that remained desperately took shape.
‘Swallow me. Predation.’
At Taehyun’s command.
Ugh.
Crack.
A huge maw opened its mouth and swallowed its owner.
