Episode 182:
The Talisman was filled with magic.
Suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, the monster’s throat was cut.
Degurrrrr.
Following the bizarre sound of a neck falling on the floor.
Cooung.
The monster’s body lost its balance and fell.
Cracking.
Taehyun quickly passed by the fallen monster.
Normally I would have feasted on the corpse, but there was no time for that now.
‘I guess I should hope it’s not over there.’
The distance is quite far.
Nevertheless, I felt like I was suffocating from the presence inside the castle.
“Archduke Orgal.”
Taehyun spoke about the owner of the castle.
That alone made the hairs on my entire body stand on end.
‘Before he moves. ‘You have to get out of here.’
nettle liquid.
Taehyun’s Valhalla once again radiated sword energy.
The head of an unknown monster was cut off.
There was no longer a need to hide infiltration.
Taehyeon’s magical powers were released to the fullest, and the locations of monsters throughout the castle were identified.
There are a thousand S-class monsters and about a hundred SS-class monsters.
‘There are about ten SS+ grade monsters…’
Fortunately, the SS+ grade monsters were scattered throughout the huge castle and were not moving.
Coogugung.
The castle shook with a faint explosion.
The source of the explosion was in the direction it had passed.
‘It’s started.’
A man who identified himself as the leader of a malicious guild.
It was the aftermath where Min Ji-hong and Cody Cruz unleashed the power of the ‘anti-aircraft contractor’.
It was a magical clash as if two SS+ grade monsters were clashing.
Meanwhile, where Taehyun is heading.
An unusual explosion was occurring there too.
‘Ricky Harlis. Fortunately, it looks like we still have the strength to engage.’
[Stop, bee….]
Suddenly.
Cutting down another monster that was blocking him.
Taehyun increased his speed.
* * *
“What the… Puck…!!”
Ricky Hallis cursed and controlled his magic power.
Quagwagwagwang.
The two magical forces collided and an explosion occurred.
“human. quite. am.”
It was rough, but unmistakable English.
Behind the disorganized magic.
A huge Lizardman appeared.
He was not an ordinary lizardman.
It was the Lizard King, an SS-class monster that ruled over countless Lizardmen.
“Puck…”
The monster is speaking its native language.
It wasn’t a surprising reaction to hear Ricky Harlis swearing.
She hurriedly put her hand into her handbag.
A potion came with it.
The moment she was about to pour the potion into her mouth.
“Where?”
The Lizard King spoke in poor English and swung his halberd at the same time.
Huh. Huh. Huh.
A few strands of hair were cut off by the light swing of the halberd.
“I can’t eat. horsepower. Liquid.”
The Lizard King raised the corners of his mouth and said.
I don’t know exactly what’s in the potion.
Because she knew that drinking potions would be annoying.
“now. When you come. straight to the head. “I’ll cut you down.”
The Lizard King proposed a deal.
“Crazy guy.”
Ricky Harlis activated the skill without even thinking.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Compose (S) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Quaaaaa.
A green magical bullet was created in the air.
Suddenly.
The Lizard King’s halberd cut off the magic bullet in an instant.
‘This isn’t enough.’
The opponent is a SS-rank monster.
Things like attacking without enough time.
‘It won’t be a big hit.’
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic consumption accelerates.]
After slowing the Lizard King’s approach with magic bullets, she used another skill.
A vine of magic attached itself to the Lizard King’s body.
“unnecessary. act.”
The Lizard King cut off the vines with his halberd.
There were already countless vines clinging to the area.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
The Lizard King swung his halberd without stopping.
That was enough time for Ricky Harlis to complete the trick.
She stretched out her hand.
A small tree began to grow behind the Lizard King.
It was a technique I had used before in Jeju Island.
“…!!”
It was only then that the Lizard King realized the seriousness of the situation.
Thickness and magic power incomparable to vines.
All kinds of stems extending from the tree wrapped around the Lizard King’s body.
Quad deud deuk.
The stem tightened the Lizard King’s body and took away the halberd.
[How dare the bug.]
Pssssss.
Magical power flowed from the Lizard King’s body.
The stem touched by magic repeated oxidation and regeneration.
“Just once… hold on!!”
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been strengthened. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Kwagwagwagwa.
Poseok. Poseok. Poseok.
The Lizard King’s body dried up like a mummy.
[…!!]
I could feel the magical power I had been filling up with quickly depleting.
“Do you think you understand the situation now?”
Ricky Harlis took out two potions from his handbag and drank them sarcastically.
Magic potion and fatigue potion.
The potions mixed together and gave off an astringent taste, but the taste wasn’t important.
‘We have to get out of here quickly.’
It’s been quite a while since she was imprisoned in Archduke Orgal’s castle.
In my experience, it felt like about a week had passed.
‘Damn… I never thought this was Orgal’s castle…’
She recalled the moment she entered this place.
The deepest layer, where not much has been revealed yet.
After receiving a legendary item, she began exploring the place.
As much remains unknown.
This is because there are numerous advantages to taking the lead.
True to his nickname, a specialist in horsepower control.
She detected an unusual magic wave.
Even finding the hidden castle through skill application was a breeze.
I brought thousands of potions and scrolls.
I thought it would be enough even if the exploration took a long time.
It took less than an hour for that thought to change.
Top-level monsters chased after her.
They drove her away in broken English.
I realized late that this was the Archduke’s territory.
It was a series of skill use and escape.
I survived every moment by relying on potions and scrolls.
and.
Now even that was slowly reaching its limit.
Fatigue potions only lower the status window value for using skills.
Potions and scrolls alone could not completely relieve mental fatigue.
‘You have to hold on a little longer.’
Five SS-rank players belatedly came to their rescue.
I saw the heads of four of them blown off.
But I guess it’s fortunate.
It was known that Cody Cruz escaped safely.
‘There was definitely a reaction to the gate a little while ago.’
A short-distance warp gate created before infiltrating the castle.
Although it is not sophisticated enough to compare to the skill, it was made so that it can pass through the barrier surrounding this place.
There were people passing through that gate a little while ago.
She hoped that Kim Tae-hyun was among them.
Coo coo coo coo coo.
New magical power surged from the Lizard King’s body.
Although it was a weak strength, it was a power received from Orgal.
That mighty power was quickly absorbed.
[Kaaaa!!!]
A huge tree grew and the surrounding area gradually formed a forest.
Even if you are SS grade, your magic power cannot be infinite.
‘I’ll make you a mummy like this.’
Grumble. Grumble. Grumble. Grumble.
Ricky Harlis poured all his magic into it.
About a minute passed like that.
Grumbling. Grumble.
Blood was flowing from her nose and ears.
It was an early symptom of reflux.
The Lizard King was not safe either.
The muscles that seemed like solid armor shrunk and the magic level dropped to S rank.
‘You need to lower it a little more… a little lower.’
Even though it was weakened, it was still S-class magical power.
In its current state, it was necessary to degenerate it to at least a B-grade monster.
Tiring.
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit.]
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit.]
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit.]
Unwelcome messages emerged one after another.
Nevertheless, the magic power injected into the skill was not reduced.
Grumbling.
Blood flowed from my eyes.
[How dare the bug…!!]
Coo.
The Lizard King took a step toward her.
Its magical power had fallen to the level of an A-class monster.
SS grade monsters degenerate into A grade monsters.
For a monster the size of the Lizard King, this is no different from a fatal wound.
Nevertheless.
[I’ll kill you.]
Kuung.
The Lizard King took a step forward again.
SS grade monsters were degenerated to A grade level.
She wasn’t normal either.
‘It’s not enough…’
Before I knew it, a forest had formed around me.
This meant that the magic power absorbed from the Lizard King was enormous.
Still, this guy.
We were approaching steadily, step by step.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Ricky Harlis has strengthened his magic once again.
The Lizard King screamed.
at that time.
[I can’t believe that’s what happens to bugs.]
“…!!”
Ricky Harlis rushed backwards.
A huge spear was lowered and stuck in its place.
It belonged to the SS-rank monster Shuchester.
“Cough.”
Blood vomited from Ricky Harlis’ mouth.
As if using magical power to its limit was not enough, control became incomplete due to Shuchester’s interference a little while ago.
Reflux was starting.
Quang.
He barely avoided the spear thrown by Shuchester.
Before I knew it, the Lizard King with his halberd raised was right in front of me.
‘Damn it…’
She closed her eyes tightly without realizing it.
I thought the halberd would hit my neck in an instant.
But why?
I didn’t feel any pain.
“I’m glad it’s not too late.”
“…!!”
She opened her eyes at the sound of a familiar voice.
Cooung.
The Lizard King’s decapitated body was falling.
Shuchester belatedly threw out his spear.
That’s it. That’s it.
[…!!]
Shuchester’s spear was blocked by the man’s dagger and there was a struggle of strength.
She checked the man’s face.
‘Kim Tae-hyun…!!’
“I will finish it quickly.”
Chaeng.
Taehyun swung Valhalla with force.
Shuchester’s spear bounced upward.
and.
Tiring.
[The skill Eye of a Higher Species (S) has been activated. Specifies the opponent’s movements.]
Taehyun’s eyes turned red.
The magic stone on Shuchester’s body was visible.
A red stream flowing around the magic stone.
I could see its magic line.
‘Is it this way?’
Taehyun’s Valhalla pierced Shuchester’s vital spot.
Pupupupupupup.
It was an instant.
Cooung.
The SS-rank monster Shuchester knelt down.
[What…]
Taehyun used the next skill without delay.
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Tsk-o-o-eok.
[Unbelievable… unbelievable…]
Before Shuchester even figured out the situation.
Crack. Quad deuk.
The magical power of predation consumed him.
“….”
I can’t understand the monster’s words.
But just like the two monsters who have already become pieces of meat.
The same thing I couldn’t believe was Ricky Harlis.
[Stamina has increased by 1.]
[Magic power has increased by 1.]
[Speed has increased by 1.]
[Strength has increased by 1.]
It was a pleasant message to hear at any time.
“Kim Tae-hyun… How did we get here…”
She asked, coming to her senses belatedly.
“I came to repay my debt from Jeju Island.”
Taehyun grinned and tore open the scroll.
