Episode 184
, ‘Blood Rush’, my physical abilities increased dramatically.
Even so, it was impossible to avoid all five flashes.
Chii Iik. Chi profit. Cheeik.
Taehyun avoided three flashes of light by sacrificing an arm and a leg.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The arm that had evaporated quickly began to regenerate.
Both arms became the monster’s.
[That’s funny.]
Orgal let out a rare laugh.
Red magic power.
It was the power that symbolized Grand Duke Igmun.
Taehyun, who I thought was Rosaria’s contractor, is using Igmun’s power.
The corners of my mouth went up in an unexpected situation.
Min Ji-hong, his contractor.
This was the expression I had when I first encountered that interesting creature.
[Phew. Weren’t you a contractor for Rosaria?]
Orgal asked with a smile.
Instead of answering.
Taehyun put his hand into Infinite’s backpack.
The magic potion was captured.
He moved his body quickly and poured the potion.
I felt my magic power recovering little by little.
[You’re obsessed.]
Orgal raised his hand once again.
Ten magic bullets were fired at Taehyun.
In an instant, one arm and two legs evaporated.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
It was a super-fast regeneration that surpassed the skill of a saint.
The magical power that I thought would be restored disappeared again.
A new magic potion was held in my hand.
Gurgling.
Taehyun carelessly poured the potion into his mouth.
[….]
Only then did Orgal stop attacking.
[I don’t understand.]
He asked, watching Taehyun drink potions without stopping.
In his opinion, his current actions were futile.
Because I signed a contract with the Archduke.
Humans cannot fully use that power.
In order to use strong power, you need a vessel suitable for it.
The human body is of insignificant structure compared to that of monsters.
Even anti-aircraft contractors are only slightly better than SS-class monsters.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
But why?
[Why don’t you stand up to me?]
Gurgling.
Taehyun poured another magic potion.
Orgal continued.
[Why don’t you run away from me?]
Gulp. gulp.
Taehyun finished the second bottle of magic potion and reached for the third bottle.
Orgal sighed at that sight.
I’m going along with it just to feel the joy of trampling on bugs.
I’m giving him a chance to struggle.
Taehyun is not attacking or running away, but is just drinking potions.
And that’s while using Igmun’s power for things like regeneration.
[I’m starting to get angry.]
This was when Orgal, who had lost interest, was trying to beat Taehyun.
Something passed through my mind.
Considering the nature of the archduke, it is a ridiculous hypothesis.
It was a sufficient hypothesis to explain Taehyun’s actions in front of me.
[You lowly creature. Are you trying to summon Rosaria?]
“….”
Taehyun answered the question by pouring the potion.
Orgal asked again.
[Are you buying time? To collect the magical power needed for summoning while protecting my life?]
Gulp. gulp.
Taehyun emptied the sixth magic potion.
[Puh… Hahahaha.]
Orgal burst into laughter.
I felt confident.
I am convinced that the small creature in front of me is trying to summon the Archduke.
[That’s interesting. Could it be that that lowly bitch made a pact of summoning with humans?]
Not everyone who is an anti-aircraft contractor gains summoning skills.
Is that all?
Although humans require considerable magical energy to summon, maintaining the summoning skill requires mental power greater than that of a higher species.
‘It’s still not enough.’
Taehyun looked at the magic power in the status window and took out a new potion.
Normally, this magical magic would have been gathered a long time ago.
However, not only did the reduced ability level decrease, but the magic power consumed by continuing the skill was greater than expected.
All I could do was keep my magic power at 200 while drinking potions.
The 300 magical power required to summon Rosaria is far short of that.
‘There is no answer as it is.’
Taehyun quickly acknowledged the reality and shook his head.
A way to temporarily tie up Orgal while attempting to restore magic power.
A plan came to mind.
‘I might die.’
gulp.
It was a plan where even the slightest mistake could cost your life.
Meanwhile, Orgal approached Taehyun.
Just by approaching it, I felt as if my whole body was paralyzed.
[I’m becoming even more curious. What did you use to persuade that lowly thing?]
“That kind of thing.”
Taehyun took a step back and used a skill.
“Check for yourself.”
Tiring.
[Skill Dragon’s Rage (S) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Grumble.
Taehyun’s body radiated the dragon tribe’s unique spirit.
If it were normal, it would have enough power to blow away the opponent’s mind.
Orgal showed off his health by laughing.
[Are you even trying to imitate a dragon cub? more. See more.]
Orgal, excited, stretched out his hand towards Taehyun.
That was when a muscular hand tried to grab his throat.
Tiring.
[Skill Demonization (S) has been activated. Specifies the part of mimicry.]
Tuong.
Taehyun slapped Orgal’s hand away.
[Hahahaha.]
Orgal burst into laughter as he looked at Taehyun’s arm, which had slapped away his hand.
It was a grotesquely swollen arm that could not be considered human.
The problem is with that arm.
Even if it’s weak, he can feel his magic power.
[It really is an interesting piece of meat.]
Quad deud deuk.
Orgal’s arms began to swell.
However, that feeling of intimidation was nothing compared to Taehyun’s.
Tiring.
[Strengthens the skill Demonification (S). Magic power consumption is accelerating.]
Quad deud deud deuk.
Another arm swelled.
‘Blood Runaway’ and ‘Demon Beast Fire’ were used repeatedly.
Strength stats were seen rising steeply.
Taehyun rushed into Orgal’s arms.
[That too. It’s a wrong choice.]
A huge arm swung towards Taehyun.
It was a speed that was out of proportion to its size.
Taehyun twisted his body and barely avoided the attack.
Pow.
“…!!”
One arm exploded due to wind pressure alone.
At the same time, the torn arm quickly regenerated.
Taehyun’s hands grabbed one of Orgal’s arms.
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (S) has been activated. Specify the target. The consumption of magic power accelerates.]
A dark red swamp was created under the feet of Orgal and Taehyeon.
There, a huge maw opened its mouth.
Ugh.
It was a predation that was activated by pouring out all of the remaining magical power.
“Is this your first time?”
[This is…]
Orgal’s expression, which had always been interesting, changed.
Just like Rosaria and Igmun, forgotten memories came to mind.
[No way…]
“Yes.”
Tiring.
[The unique skill Predation (S) has been strengthened. Magic consumption accelerates.]
“It is the power of the king.”
‘Row of blood’. ‘Masuhwa’. And ‘predation’.
The dark red magic power amplified by three powers engulfed Orgal.
* * *
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok….”
Tung. Tongue. Tongue.
Degururu.
In an instant, the two bottles of emptied magic potion were thrown to the floor.
Taehyun took a deep breath and ran towards the castle.
‘Thank goodness.’
30 seconds after leaving Orgal.
During that time, there were no monsters blocking the way.
If there had been, it would have been embarrassing.
It wouldn’t have been worthwhile to minimize magical power consumption by unlocking all skills.
A brief skirmish.
I used all the skills that would normally be used as hidden cards.
That’s why I knew.
Orgal did not receive any significant damage.
There is a bigger gap than we thought.
I just took advantage of the moment of surprise at the sight of ‘predation’ and was lucky enough to escape.
‘Now just a little more…’
That was the time I thought while looking at the status window.
Piyung. Piyung. Piyung. Piyung.
Four flashes of light passed by.
No, it was a magical bullet with an unbelievable speed that made you feel like it had just passed you by.
In an instant, both arms and legs evaporated.
It was natural for Taehyun to collapse after losing his arms and legs.
“Sigh…”
Blood poured out of his mouth.
Since ‘Blood Rush’ was lifted, high-speed playback was no longer possible.
The numb limbs were starting to bleed.
[I’m sure what I just said. [It startled me.]
An eerie voice was heard from far away.
Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.
10 seconds? No, maybe 5 seconds have passed.
Orgal appeared.
Even though it was completely swallowed by predation, its body was unscathed.
[I apologize. You were not just a bug.]
Kugugung.
A huge pressure pressed down on my defenseless body.
Taehyun gritted his teeth.
The pain of burning limbs came later.
[I never thought you were the key chosen by the king.]
‘Key…?’
Even in my blurred consciousness, I could clearly hear Orgal’s voice.
Suddenly Orgal burst into laughter.
[Kuk … Hahahaha.]
The castle was a smile.
Blood was leaking from my ears.
The eardrum was destroyed.
A human body that is not protected by magical power.
In front of the Grand Duke, the pinnacle of monsters.
Taehyun’s situation now seemed no different from that of a bug.
[I won’t kill you.]
After saying that, Orgal picked up Taehyun, who was left with nothing but his body.
Orgal, holding his neck, flashed red eyes.
[Tell me. The king is now. Where are you?]
Tiring.
[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 I could not resist penetrates.]
I felt Orgal’s magic power penetrating into my body.
Is it unfortunate or fortunate?
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The bleeding stopped and the body began to regenerate.
[Tell me. What did the king give you?]
Orgal tightened the hand holding her neck.
Quad deuk.
Whoops.
The neck bone was cracked and blood was flowing from the mouth.
At the same time, Orgal’s magic restored Taehyeon again.
[Next time, I will cut out your eyes.]
Taehyun muttered in response to Orgal’s warning.
It was so small that I couldn’t hear it.
[Oh dear. I won’t be able to speak if I’m holding it like this. Now….]
Slurp.
The grip holding my neck weakened.
[okay. Say it again.]
Orgal brought Taehyun’s face closer.
I raise my eyebrows at the king’s clue that I haven’t heard in a long time.
However, what Taehyun said was not what I expected.
Kaak.
“Tsk.”
Taehyun’s spit splashed on Orgal’s face.
and.
“Rosaria….”
[….]
Tiring.
[The summoning skill Rosaria (S) has been activated.]
Purple magical power bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
* * *
[He’s really a contractor who doesn’t have good weather.]
Rosaria, who was already supporting Taehyeon, said.
One of Orgal’s arms was held in her other hand.
It was the hand that grabbed Taehyun’s neck.
[Rosaria. Whose castle does a lowly child dare to set foot in?]
[Orgal. The main woman is not in a good mood right now.]
[What…?]
[Hmph. It wasn’t enough that Igmun destroyed my castle… Didn’t you, the beast, turn my contractor into this?] [
Puh-hu-huh.]
Orgal laughed once again.
It felt like the whole puzzle was finally fitting into place.
[I thought it was strange ever since I made the pact of summoning with the piece of meat. How dare you from me. How long did you think you could hide the king’s traces?]
Rosaria clicked her tongue in response to Orgal’s question.
[Didn’t I tell you? The original girl. now. I’m not in a good mood.]
Purple magical power bloomed from Rosaria’s body.
Kugugoogung.
Orgal’s castle shook like never before.
[Stress is not good for beauty. I hope you, like a beast, will accept it.]
[How dare you…!!]
Orgal’s arm was regenerated along with Ilgal.
It started with an explosion of brown magical power.
The magic power of the two archdukes collided and the speed at which the castle was destroyed accelerated.
