Episode 203:
Kwasik.
Taehyun crushed the skull of the monster blocking his path.
It was the second S-class monster I encountered within 5 minutes of leaving the Temple of Blood.
Just now.
Although it is imperfect, it is Taehyun who defeated Bloodia, who had become an SSS level monster.
Nevertheless, it was not easy to deal with S-class monsters one after another.
Following Blooddia, there is a battle against Igmun’s clone.
This was because my body was at a loss due to continuous overuse of skills.
‘This is dangerous.’
Crack.
Taehyun thought as he snapped the neck of the third S-class monster that blocked his path.
The S-class monster itself is not a big problem in its current state.
But what if, after waiting so long, even an SS-rank monster comes?
What if there is more than one guy instead of just one?
At that time, I didn’t know that I might have to prepare for death once again.
[How dare you know where this place is…]
Quang.
Taehyun punched the fourth S-class monster in the face.
“….”
The taste was different from before.
He did not die instantly from Taehyun’s fist like before.
Is he bigger than the guy from before?
no.
What was weakened was Taehyun’s physical abilities and concentration.
‘this. Has it already fallen this far?’
Taehyun swung his fist again with all his strength.
Quang.
The monster gave a different command to its second fist.
Meanwhile, more than ten monsters had gathered around.
Like the deepest level.
Even the monsters called prey are all S-rank.
[Could it have come from the Temple of Blood?]
[I think we’ve dealt with Blooddia.]
[This seems like an opportunity for us too.]
The monsters looked at Taehyeon with their mouths drooling.
Taehyun is now reflected in their eyes.
This was because this disfigured human seemed like prey that could be hunted if one took the time.
‘Regurgitation becomes worse when you use the skill.’
I had to go another hour to get to the point I had promised with Rosaria.
It seemed impossible to get there with the reflux worsening.
‘It’s a shame we lost Valhalla.’
Rare grade items Talisman and Aslan.
And Reddick and Valhalla, which were unique grade items.
These are all items that top level players are desperate to obtain.
However, there were limits to fighting monsters of SS grade or higher.
Even though magic power is applied to maximize durability, it does not last long.
‘Considering the battle ahead, a legendary grade weapon is essential.’
It was when Taehyun was thinking like that.
The S-class monsters split apart and one monster approached.
[Is Bloodyah really dead?]
“….”
Taehyun’s gaze went up.
A 4 meter tall humanoid figure.
Horns sprout from its head.
It resembled the appearance of a goblin from mythology.
[Answer.]
The guy in the lead wriggled his muscular body and asked.
An unusual magical power emanated from the body.
Taehyun immediately realized that this was an SS-rank monster.
“It’s a big deal.”
Due to the variable called Igmun, it took longer than expected.
The corners of the mouth of the guy who didn’t understand the new Korean language turned up in an ugly way.
[Well, that’s good. Anyway, intruder. If you take me to Ig-moon, he will reward you.]
He said that and took a step closer to Tae-hyeon.
“Whoa.”
Taehyun calmly caught his breath.
It is difficult to use Shinhwa Mirror with a body that is not normal.
so.
In his current state, the most powerful martial arts technique Taehyun could use was penetrative techniques.
Taehyun’s body, aimed at the guy’s skull, bounced off.
but.
Kwaaaang.
“Mr. Lee.”
Taehyun’s fist was so easily caught by the guy’s hand.
[Hehehe. Did you use all your strength against Bloodia?]
Buung.
The guy who grabbed Taehyun swung a huge fist.
Kwasik.
There was a sound of something breaking from the guarded arms.
SS grade.
Taehyun in his current state was not someone he could deal with while leaving room for others.
‘It’s becoming a nuisance.’
Quaaaaa.
Taehyun belatedly released his magic power.
It may be difficult to use the skill, though.
The idea was to strengthen the body and break through here as quickly as possible.
The monsters flinched from the unexpected magical power.
“I will especially tear your limbs apart.”
As Taehyun said that, he gathered magical power into his arms and legs.
[You’re overdoing it.]
I heard a familiar voice.
at the same time.
Hehehe.
A wind blew from somewhere and swept the monster away.
Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly.
The bodies of the monsters blocking Taehyun began to tear apart.
‘This is…’
Far away.
Rosaria was seen with numerous armies.
[Caughter.]
[The Queen must be surprised.]
[Caugher. It’s a shame~]
[It’s late~ Caw.]
[We came instead~]
“Rosaria… Why….”
This is unexpected reinforcement.
Taehyun couldn’t help but ask.
[I was worried about the contractor. The main lady came to meet us in person.]
After saying that, Rosaria yawned as if she was bored.
Although dozens of S-class monsters have already passed away.
Among them, there was a monster that survived.
[Rosaria!! This is Igmun’s territory!! How dare you go to war…]
Rosaria waved her hand lightly as if she didn’t want to hear it.
Just that.
Suddenly.
The body of the SS-class monster was cut in half.
Even though he had lost one arm, he still looked overwhelming.
“Are you okay? “Even if you come all the way here.”
Taehyun asked, belatedly releasing his magic power.
The Archduke’s subordinates raiding the territory and the Archduke directly invading the territory are two completely different problems.
That was the reason why Taehyun said he would catch Blooddia instead.
But now.
Rosaria came to the ‘Temple of Blood’ to meet us.
Rosaria laughed at Taehyun’s question.
[Hehe. What does the main woman have to be afraid of anymore?]
“….”
Taehyun was speechless as he covered his mouth and giggled.
[The situation makes more sense than that. Although it was only for a moment, I felt Igmun’s power?]
Taehyun recalled what happened a little while ago.
If it wasn’t for the doppelganger guy.
The person I was facing by now was not Rosaria, but Igmun.
“okay. “A lot of things happened.”
[Let’s go back to the castle and listen to the story.]
Rosaria turned around as she said that.
Igmun’s men were rushing in there.
[You should rest a little.]
Rosaria’s red eyes flashed.
at the same time.
dump.
Taehyun’s body collapsed.
* * *
When I came to my senses again, it was already Rosaria’s castle.
One of Rosaria’s numerous tentacles was wrapping around Taehyeon.
[Are you awake?]
“What is this….”
[I’m in the process of inserting the original woman’s magic power. You will feel that it is an honor.]
It was just as he said.
Taehyun’s body had returned to its original condition.
My body felt light, as if I had received intensive treatment from a top-class healer.
[The contractor’s memories were read while he was unconscious. Bloodyea. Igmun played a trick on that beautiful thing’s body.] There
seemed to be no need for further explanation.
“okay. “I almost died.”
[I guess our contractor now knows how scary the Archduke is.]
Rosaria laughed and shook her head.
“….”
I knew right away that the Archduke was scary.
I just didn’t know that I would meet the Archduke there, even if it was just a self-immolation.
[More than that, a contractor. Are you aware of the changes that have occurred in your body?]
Rosaria asked, unwrapping the tentacles wrapped around her body.
“change? Come to think of it…”
After defeating Igmun’s clone.
A message came to mind later.
Taehyun opened the status window.

“This is….”
The magic power of ‘Blood Rush’ and the summoning skill ‘Igmun’ was lowered even further.
In particular, in the case of ‘Igmun’, the magic power fluctuated significantly.
It would be impossible to summon it with basic magic power.
It seemed like it would be possible by using the buffs of ‘Blood Rush’ and ‘Apocalypse’.
‘I guess that means the alter ego was outside the standard.’
It was not unreasonable to see that the stats rose evenly.
[Igmun’s magical power has become even stronger. Although it is still not as good as the original woman’s.]
Rosaria said with a strange smile.
“don’t worry. “I have no intention of switching to Igmun.”
[Hehe. He is such a dependable man. Even more than that, there was a scary entity living inside my body. Is it thanks to him that I survived Igmun?]
Doppelganger.
Taehyun immediately realized that Rosaria meant this guy.
“Do you know anything about that guy?”
Rosaria let out a subtle laugh at Taehyun’s question.
[this. I almost made a mistake. The main woman cannot intervene in the arrangements left behind by the king.]
“….”
Rosaria wanted Taehyeon to realize the role of the key himself.
Six anti-aircraft and one anti-supply presence.
Different magical powers permeate each body.
That was the reason why it was not mentioned even though the symbolism it represented was not trivial.
[Really. He is a man that even his wife would find difficult to handle.]
“So. “What is the situation?”
Taehyun asked as he closed the status window.
Since Rosaria got involved in this matter, there is no way it will just go away.
There must have been movement on Igmun’s side as well.
And as expected.
[The turf war has begun. This is the end of my sweet rapture.]
“Oh my. “I’m sorry.”
[It is obvious that these are empty words. Contractor.]
“….”
[Hehe. Anyway, the one chosen was the main girl. There is no need to regret now. Are you ready to walk the path the king walked?]
“Yes.”
Taehyun nodded.
Two-game match at ‘Temple of Blood’.
That made it clear.
Currently, Taehyun has not yet reached the full SSS level.
Asmodeus is also plotting something.
‘I can still grow further.’
A king who battled with the great dukes of the Abyss.
He also remembered that he had no choice but to be defeated at first.
Wasn’t even that great king weaker than the monster at first?
Rosaria, who read Taehyun’s thoughts, burst into laughter again.
[As expected, the desire for power also reminds me of the king. Would you like to stay here?]
It was a fascinating offer.
If you can prey on something like Bloodia, you will be able to increase your stats in a short period of time.
“Training at the deepest level… that would be good too.”
But before that.
“I need to go to that world for a while.”
What Taehyeon had to worry about was not just the turf war between the princes.
