Episode 197
: Fusion skill ‘Apocalypse’.
Taehyun’s own domain, created by mixing numerous skills, was activated.
Quaoooooo.
Kugugugugugung.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Sigh.
Dark red magic power engulfed the entire area.
The surviving monsters were no exception.
It was a range that could not be compared to the existing apocalypse.
[A tiny creature…]
[How can a tiny creature have this kind of power…!!]
Many monsters either fell to their knees or were wrapped in chains and screamed due to the forced force.
Even SS-rank monsters were no exception.
dump. dump.
Several SS-rank monsters laid down on the ground and bowed their heads.
Among them.
Only one monster withstood the force.
He is 2 meters tall and has black hair that extends down to his toes.
Red eyes contrast with white skin.
The mouth, smiling as if it had been drawn, was sewn with something unknown.
Slurp. Sreung.
[An interesting lump of blood has arrived?]
SS+ grade monster Bloodia.
A member of Igmun’s family in charge of the Temple of Blood.
She, who was infamous in the Abyss, walked out, clinking her long fingernails.
It seemed as if Taehyun’s ‘apocalypse’ had no effect.
“You are Bloodia.”
[Whose henchman are you?]
Bloodyea stopped in front of Taehyeon.
Taehyun is the highest ranked monster and player among the highest species.
Their enemy eyes met.
The one who moved first was Bloodia.
Nails that seem to cut even unique grade items in one go.
The poison that forms on those fingernails.
The moment when Bloodia’s arm seems to move.
The quickly extended fingernails aimed at Taehyun’s neck.
Kyaang.
Valhalla narrowly blocked the claws, which were no better than swords.
Chi profit.
Red liquid flowed through the magic power surrounding Valhalla.
Even at a glance, it was an unusual poison.
It was said that Valhalla would not be able to endure it with bare body or without magic power.
I knew it without having to experience it myself.
Wow.
Taehyun repelled the claws that were aimed at him again.
Chi profit.
The temple floor melted with the flowing liquid.
[Is there a lot of blood?]
Bloodyea said, twitching her stitched mouth.
It looked like something you would see in a horror movie.
“Eek. “Be scared.”
Taehyun stepped back and raised his magic power.
The entire area has already been immersed in an apocalypse.
Even without unlocking magical power, he was ready to activate his skills at the highest efficiency at any time.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Ugh.
Output 60… 70… 80… 90… 100%.
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit. The consumption of magic power is accelerating.]
I felt a bunch of magic power draining away.
Taehyun didn’t care and continued his skills.
‘Apocalypse’ is activated with a magic stat of 440.
Kwasik. Kwasik.
Quad deuk.
The bodies of the surrounding monsters were crushed one by one as the skill was strengthened to its limit.
[Kwaa… Bloodia….]
[Nonsense…]
Kwajik.
Two SS-rank monsters that held up quite well.
Lastly, all the monsters except Bloodia passed away.
It happened in an instant.
Bloodia, the temple manager.
It was natural for her to be embarrassed.
Blood clots from another dimension with physical abilities inferior to those of monsters.
Some of them are said to have caught the eye of the Archduke and are close to being a high-ranking species, but that is only a small portion.
no.
Even if you gain the power of the Archduke, you will only become a slightly more appetizing lump of blood.
But why?
[What are you….]
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Bloodyea muttered, looking at the chains wrapped around her feet.
Normally, these chains would have been easily avoided.
No, there was no need to avoid it, so I would have cut it off just by swinging my fingernail.
Not now.
After the ‘Apocalypse’ intensified, the pressure pressing down on my body restricted my movements.
My body becomes increasingly stiff and my voice doesn’t come out properly.
All feeling in my body was disappearing.
Is this really human power?
Eventually, the chain completely wrapped around Bloodia’s body.
[you. Whose power did you receive?]
She asked, her red eyes flashing.
Taehyun laughed at that.
“Do I need to know your origins?”
Wow.
Taehyun squeezed his hand.
Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
The chains that were wrapped around me tightened my whole body like they were breaking my bones.
However, Bloodia is also a being that has surpassed the barrier of higher species.
At best, he didn’t show this level of screaming obscenity.
Quad deud deuk.
Red magic bloomed and ultra-high-speed playback began.
It was in a similar state to when Taehyun used ‘Blood Rush’.
[It’s fun. Is this all you have to show?]
“That can’t be possible.”
Humans and monsters.
The two beings looked at each other and began to laugh secretly.
* * *
Higher species.
Among them, those who received the power of the Archduke directly.
We know that such guys have strength and special abilities that are worth the SS+ rank.
[It’s ridiculous.]
Bloodia, who regenerated the broken bone, spoke sincerely.
This is because I had no idea that ultra-fast regeneration would occur in humans.
“Everyone said that at first. But you will soon get used to it.”
Bloodia’s body shook at the sly answer.
It is only now that I am a member of Igmun’s family that I am at the deepest level.
This is Bloodia, who had her own forces in the deep in the past.
The sight of the blood in front of his eyes was similar to what he had done to the player in the past.
The composure shown by the strong against the weak.
That was why Bloodia didn’t give it its all from the beginning.
[Woohuhu.]
I was curious.
The sight of this confident lump of blood begging for his life to be spared.
Before taking the guy’s life away.
An ecstatic moment that will absorb all that desirable magic.
[I’ll wait. Try everything you can.]
Bloodia smiled evilly and spread her arms.
Taehyun was also taking his time.
‘Isn’t the apocalypse enough?’
Regardless of the purpose of his visit, he was a good partner to test his growing powers.
“Blodia. From what I heard, he was ‘once’ comparable to Asmodeus.”
[…!!]
Bloodia’s body shook once again at the name Asmodeus.
Pajik. Fazizik.
Bright red magical power bloomed from the body.
Clap. Crash, clank, clank.
That’s it.
Bloodia’s nails stretched long, and a cracking sound rang out as the nails touched the chain.
Eventually, the chain that was wrapped around my body was cut off without any strength.
Bloodyea took a step forward towards Taehyun.
[That guy’s name. Who did you hear it from?]
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.
“He is a man with a dark tongue. Do you have any grudge against Asmodeus?”
[You guy. Put it in your mouth. It’s not the other person.]
The moment when Bloodia’s voice changed.
Kagagagagang.
Five extended fingernails extended irregularly.
My wrist was tingling as I swung Valhalla.
Bloodia has unleashed its magic power.
Quaoooooo.
Bloodia, radiating blood-red magic, took a step forward again.
Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-gang.
Kagaga River.
Gagagagagagagak.
Each one was like a master’s famous sword.
Every time I take a step closer.
The fingernails extended at an unbelievable speed and aimed at Taehyun.
Originally it was only 2 meters long.
Perhaps because of the magical power it gave off, it felt like I was facing a huge wall.
‘Still, it’s better than before?’
The SS+ grade monsters I have faced so far.
Dealing with them felt like I was facing a huge mountain.
It’s different now.
Even though I was giving my best, it was still worth it.
[I guess I’ll have to rip my mouth off.]
“First Lady. Let’s see first.”
Taehyun quickly moved his hands and provoked.
[I should cut off that head too.]
With an eerie smile.
Bloodia raised both hands.
“That won’t happen.”
With answer.
Ssssss.
Taehyun’s new brother has disappeared.
* * *
Shoo shoo shoo shoo.
Each and every one of them was a deadly claw.
Ten blade-like nails aimed at Taehyun’s body.
‘Apocalypse’ is unfolding at peak power.
It was difficult to imagine any movement in that area.
However, Taehyun’s movements were not easy.
Kagaga River.
Kyaang. Kyaang.
Most of the nails were avoided, and those that could not be avoided were cut off with Valhalla.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
My clothes melted into the liquid that flew from my fingernails.
‘It’s similar to a witch’s fingernails?’
Milena, the demon I faced in the labyrinth Minotaros earlier.
It was similar to her skills.
‘Of course, the power is very different.’
Wow!!
The sound of metal echoed through the temple.
[human. Is it really surprising?]
Bloodia’s title for Taehyun changed from a lump of blood to a human.
The status that Taehyun is showing.
This is because it is no longer something that can be defined as a simple lump of blood.
Taehyun’s thoughts about the other person changed as well.
“I agree. I heard you gave Asmodeus a hard time. “Is it only this much?”
Taehyun clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.
Except for the magic power used in ‘Apocalypse’ and Valhalla, no skills are used in particular.
Because I was curious.
Bloodia was once compared to Asmodeus.
How well can he do against her?
There was nothing special so far.
‘no way. ‘Do you think you can beat me while limiting your power?’
If it was true, Taehyun needed to raise the tempo.
Tiring.
[The skill Eye of a Higher Species (S) has been activated.]
Bloodia’s movements were seen differently in Taehyun’s red eyes.
It’s too slow compared to a moment ago.
‘It looks very good.’
Taehyun held Valhalla in reverse.
The physical ability that received the ‘Apocalypse’ buff has already exceeded 330 in all stats.
[I’ll show you. [I received it from Mr. Ig-moon…]
“It’s late, man.”
Ssssssut.
The moment when Taehyun’s body seemed to have melted into the darkness.
PIPPPIPIT.
Nando (亂刀).
Valhalla swung quickly.
A different tempo than before.
In addition, they targeted only the vital points through the ‘eyes of a higher species.’
Blood spurted out from Bloodia’s body in an instant.
At the same time, high-speed playback was activated.
[Surprising…]
Bloodyea, who took the attack with her bare body, rushed forward and hugged Taehyun.
and.
Crack.
Sharp teeth sank into Taehyun’s shoulder.
A message window appeared in front of Taehyun.
[The use of magic power has been detected. I was diagnosed with ‘Vampirism (SS)’. It resists with mysterious power. There was some success in resistance. Some of the magic power that could not be resisted penetrates.]
[‘Ominous power’ is at work. Strength decreases by 20.]
[‘Ominous power’ is at work. Stamina decreases by 20.]
[‘Ominous power’ is at work. Speed is reduced by 30.]
[‘Ominous force’ is at work. Magic power decreases by 30.]
‘It’s pretty good.’
As I was sucking blood, my physical abilities were constantly decreasing.
The fact that my body is getting heavier is a bonus.
After Taehyun grabbed Bloodia’s shoulder with one hand.
Phew.
With my other hand, I inserted Valhalla deep into my abdomen.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Sigh.
Bloody magic flowed through Valhalla.
Bloodia’s ‘Vampire’ and Taehyun’s ‘Energy Drain’.
A power struggle began.
This is Bloodia, who did not make a single groan even when every bone in her body was broken.
However.
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Sigh.
The magic power is drawn out quickly.
[Ugh….]
Blood flowed from Bloodia’s eyes, nose, and mouth.
On the other hand.
[A huge amount of magical power has been absorbed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magic power has been absorbed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magic power has been absorbed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
In the message window that constantly appears.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth didn’t seem to go down.
