Episode 193:
Countdown to the tribal war.
It wasn’t just those at the scene who were reminded of the message.
Anyone who woke up and got their hands on the status window would remember the message regardless of whether they were a child or an adult.
There were no special changes compared to before.
The status window was still divided into the four major stats and skills, and procedures and enhancements were carried out without problems.
However, people are attracted to things that are stimulating.
Numerous rumors spread.
The most mentioned was the Grand Duke.
Naturally, new Korea and the United States rose and fell, and voices demanding an explanation for the incident grew louder.
It was the United States that moved first.
Through an official press conference, the United States stated that it had nothing to do with this incident.
The same was true for Ji Jin-hee, who suffered for similar reasons.
He was convinced that Taehyun was involved in this incident, but he also announced that he had nothing to say.
Rather, he showed tact by turning suspicion towards the subjugation of Saechullians.
This refers to the fact that the remnants of triads and malicious guilds are behind the new pseudo-religion Saechullian.
“We absolutely cannot tolerate demons and monsters that harm humans. Definitely this opportunity. “We will root out the demons in the new Korea.”
It was Ji Jin-hee’s declaration of war.
Afterwards, the four major guilds announced their intention to join the subjugation.
In a chaotic world, the New Korea was fighting its own war, and with no additional incidents, the ‘Countdown to the Tribal War’ was quietly forgotten.
* * *
It didn’t take much time for Taehyun to return to New Korea.
This is because the warp gate installed at the American Association was used.
After returning to New Korea, the destination I headed to was not a house, association, or Abyss, but the Alchemist Guild.
This was to use a large warp gate.
While the work was being done, Taehyun, who was resting in the VVIP room, opened the status window.

‘Has Predation grown to SS rank?’
Even though I confirmed it in advance through a message, it was new to see it with my own eyes.
Other skills remain unchanged, only the level of Predation increases.
It was the first time.
The next thing that stood out was the stats.
Even though there was no particular battle, quite a few changes were visible.
‘It’s a series of incomprehensible phenomena.’
Taehyun gently shook his head.
Even if we assume that the strength and stamina speed stats are the effects of wearing the ‘Memory Ring’.
The magic stat had increased significantly.
Although it was only for a moment, I accepted the magic power of God.
It seemed like there was no choice but to doubt that part.
‘All stats are 300… it’s still not enough.’
The stats far exceeded those when using ‘Blood Rush’.
Cody Cruz, an anti-aircraft contractor, could be his opponent.
It didn’t seem like he would be impossible to suppress if he used all his skills.
Among the players, there are no longer anyone who can be called competitors.
But I had no intention of settling for this.
Although he has achieved his goal of becoming the best player, he knows that his future competition will not be human.
SSS level monster. And the Grand Duke.
Power was needed to subdue them.
‘Countdown to tribal war.’
Contrary to popular rumors, Taehyun was roughly aware of its meaning.
‘We’ll have to wait and see for more details, but growth shouldn’t stop.’
Rather, it was time to further accelerate the pace of growth.
The United Nations News came out on the screen installed at that time.
Most of it dealt with the countdown to the anti-communist race war and the movements of New Korea and the United States.
Naturally, the arrows were pointed at Kevin Lee and Ji Jin-hee.
‘I’m sorry to the president of the association.’
Even so, President Kevin Lee knows the existence of God.
Ji Jin-hee, who had not heard any report, would have been confused by the current incident.
‘It’s still early.’
I had no intention of conveying information to Ji Jin-hee and Go Tae-wook right now.
Jinhee Ji, holding a press conference to subdue Saechullians, appeared on the screen.
[I, the president of the association, will personally lead the on-site command of this subjugation.]
Ji Jin-hee was also a person who had no choice but to be a parent.
He, who retired from the field after handing over his command for several years, is saying that he will take the lead in this suppression.
The reason is because of Min Ji-hong and the information about the association is being leaked.
so.
‘It will be difficult to borrow the power of the association for the time being.’
The same was true for the four major guilds.
Since I don’t know where the information is leaking from, I will have to find out any traces related to the king on my own.
“I won’t be able to participate in the subjugation of Saechullian.”
Taehyun muttered as he checked the time.
I planned to participate in the subjugation immediately after returning from the United States.
This is because Taehyun was the one who touched the triad and the malicious guild first, so he planned to use this opportunity to completely wipe them out.
But now I thought differently.
‘If I’m at full strength now, it won’t be a big problem if I miss out.’
It is said that there is a shadow and Min Ji-hong behind it.
It would be a while before we could deal with the small pods and reach them.
“Maybe the tail has already been cut off.”
These are the guys who have kept their identities hidden until now.
There is a high possibility that it will not appear on the front page this time either.
While Taehyun was thinking that, the screen changed.
Alchemist’s gate representative appeared.
[Player Kim Tae-hyun. The warp gate you requested is ready.]
“I understand. “I’ll go right away.”
Taehyun carried his infinite backpack and headed to the gate room.
Ten guild members were waiting there.
It appeared to surround a large warp gate in the center.
“I’m sorry for making such an unreasonable request.”
The large warp gate is a device that even VVIPs cannot use carelessly.
Not only is the operating cost astronomical, but it also takes a considerable amount of time just to recharge the horsepower.
If you go to the deepest part of the world using a large warp gate.
You will need to charge it for a full week to restart it.
“no. This has been approved by the guild leader. “Are you sure you’d be okay with that?”
The person in charge asked, looking back and forth between Taehyun and the warp gate.
This is because what Taehyun requested was not simply the use of a warp gate.
That was why ten guild members, including the person in charge, were waiting.
“it’s okay. “Then shall we begin?”
“…All right. Everyone to location.”
At the command of the person in charge, nine guild members unleashed their magic power.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
This is the magic power that was unlocked by using the magic power amplification stone.
A total of 700 horsepower was sucked into the warp gate.
Kiiiiing.
The gate vibrated and made noise.
Normally, all you have to do is just take the first step.
The activated gate will move you to the specified coordinates.
However.
What Taehyun wanted was not such a simple movement.
The coordinates of the warp gate in front of me have been released.
Normally, you would have to enter new coordinate values to be able to move.
‘I guess I’ll be the first to use it at this point.’
Reverse summons.
It was not a great task for Taehyun, who already knew the knowledge of his past life.
Taehyun, who released his magic power, activated the first skill.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated.]
The magic that was flowing into the large warp gate was sucked back into Taehyun.
The amount of magic power would make an average player explode.
However, Taehyun’s strengthened body was able to handle it all.
‘I think I can survive the location search at this level.’
With that in mind, I used the second skill.
Tiring.
[The summoning skill Rosaria (S) has been activated.]
A lot.
A huge amount of magical power escaped from Taehyun’s body.
If it were like normal, the load would have come right away.
But it was different now.
The dark red magic power was sucked into the warp gate again as if searching.
The location of the summoning skill is designated by coordinates.
Fazizik. Pajijijik.
Sparks flew from the gate and the noise became louder.
Taehyun’s expression changed as he was injecting magical power.
I felt it.
A deep magical power that can only be felt in the deepest layer of the Abyss beyond the gate.
It was a concentration that a normal standard warp gate could not handle.
Damn. Damn it.
A crack appeared on the border of the gate.
5 seconds.
Even if it was the Alchemist’s large warp gate, it was too much to go beyond this.
If it continues longer than that, the gate will break and an explosion will occur.
4 seconds.
Crack. Quad deuk.
3 seconds.
Blah blah blah.
2 seconds.
‘now…!!’
Taehyun, who was concentrating on mana control, stepped into the gate.
The next clue to find the king.
It was time to go see Grand Duke Rosaria.
Taehyun’s body disappeared in an instant, as if he was being sucked in.
At the same time, the guild members who were injecting magical energy fell to their seats one by one.
“Huh… what kind of… ridiculous method…”
“Whew… the gate I just opened… didn’t seem like it was deep… but…”
Exhausted. The guild member asked out of breath.
The person in charge was also insane.
He nodded with an expression that made him feel like he was out of breath.
“Haa… As I said before… haha… everything I just saw… is confidential…”
At the command of my superior, who seemed to be exhausted at any moment.
The nine guild members just nodded.
* * *
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A concentration of magical power that is incomparable to the depths.
and.
I felt a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
[I didn’t know you would come to me in this way.]
Taehyun opened his eyes to the voice ringing in his head.
“Whoa… it worked.”
My whole body was throbbing due to the aftereffects of being reverse summoned to the deepest level.
Nevertheless.
I smiled at the thought that my plan had succeeded.
[Really. [He is a contractor who never gets bored.]
Rosaria responded by smiling at Taehyun.
