Episode 217
It should have been easy to persuade Rosaria.
Because she knows.
It is difficult to gain an advantage in a turf war on your own.
Although there is a helper named Kim Tae-hyun, it is still difficult to confront the large supply.
Nevertheless.
She was not easily persuaded by Taehyun.
[I want to hear a little more detail.]
In response to Rosaria’s question, Taehyeon told her what happened in the labyrinth.
It seems like there is an opportunity to summon Typhon by meeting Tartarus and feasting on him.
[surely. Although it is weak, I feel like I can feel the power of the giants.]
Rosaria muttered as she examined Taehyeon’s body.
“So what is the answer?”
Rosaria shook her head.
There is nothing wrong with shaking the plate.
However, the personality of the Giant King she knew was more than that of Orgal, not less.
[It won’t be easy, contractor.]
“Do you mean to put a condition on making me an archduke again?”
[okay. This guy is as proud as he is big. He will not try to be released from the seal even with the help of humans.]
“It is pride that is more important than life.”
This was a part that Taehyun did not readily understand.
What if Taehyun had changed his position?
No, in normal cases, it is common for people to hold hands even if they are enemies.
[The position of Grand Duke is such.]
If Rosaria, the Grand Duke, said that, Taehyeon had nothing else to say.
“good. Let’s think about that problem a little more. “There’s something I want to ask you more than that.”
[Tell me.]
“What on earth is this power that the archdukes have?”
[….]
In response to the expected reaction, Taehyun struck first.
“I hope you answer this time. “I was the one who played Typhon first.”
Give and take.
If something goes, something must come.
Since Taehyun disclosed information first, it meant that she should also disclose appropriate information.
[Ahaha. It’s getting more and more bold. Well, it’s not that big of a deal, so let me tell you.]
Contrary to what I said with a smile.
What I heard from Rosaria was surprising.
Each archduke has a symbolic power.
[We call it power.]
Demon King Orgal – Strengthening
Demon King Beelzebub –
Poison Vampire Lord Igmun – Absorbing
Dragon Lord Hazard – Succubus
Queen Rosaria – Mind Control
Demon King Jormungand – Runaway
Fallen Angel Lucifer –
Listen quietly to the playback Taehyun’s mouth opened slightly.
‘This… is similar to the skill of the awakened people, isn’t it?’
enforce. poison. absorption. Ambition. Mental control. Runaway. play.
It was also a power that Taehyun possessed.
“Then what about the Giant King?”
It is a being that may become a force in the future.
I couldn’t help but ask about him.
Rosaria opened her mouth again.
[Typhon. His power is elemental. He was the only one among the Grand Dukes to possess multi-attribute magical power.]
‘Now that I think about it. All of the giants discovered so far have manipulated the elements.’
The cry of Tartarus came to mind.
[Mimul!! If only I had the authority, I wouldn’t have been treated like this!!]
“So, does that mean that the Archduke’s authority also applies to the monsters he controls?”
[Each of the Grand Dukes has achieved the status of king. It also affects those who are ruling according to providence.]
Now I understand.
The reason why so many of the people staying in this castle are Grand Succubi.
Maybe they were just ordinary succubi at first.
Rosaria’s power is mind control.
It is highly likely that he was strengthened while assisting her.
Rosaria looked as if she was looking at an excellent student.
[We succubi are bound to be relatively weak compared to other monsters. To that end, she always has numerous children by her side.]
“Then… the existing ones have disappeared.”
[okay. These are children who have already become strong to their limits. We should look forward to his performance in the turf war. New children will arrive soon.]
Taehyun’s eyes opened wide.
‘The power of the Archduke. ‘It might be more useful than you think.’
Especially the elemental power of Typhon.
What if Taehyun’s magic power could contain elements?
The synergy effect will be great.
[You still have Typhon in mind.]
“Yes. “No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.”
Rosaria’s expression became strange at Taehyun’s words.
‘You’re hiding something.’
I couldn’t help but ask again.
“I’m sure he won’t stick to us. Is it really all personality?”
Taehyun has already used the eyes of a superior species.
Rosaria clicked her tongue at the sight of him asking with such determination.
Because I know Taehyun is sincere.
This time she had no choice but to tell the truth.
[In the past, the original woman rejected that idiot’s marriage proposal.]
“….”
[Hmph. That’s just it.]
In an unexpected relationship.
Taehyun was speechless.
* * *
“Then please use the T-phone gun.”
Taehyun said without lifting Yoo Ah-young, who had not yet regained consciousness.
[He knows how to distinguish between public and private matters. You’re rushing faster than that. [Can I rest a little longer?]
It was just as she said.
Although Yoo Ah-young was unconscious, Rosaria directly injected her with magical energy to heal him.
You will probably be able to work at any time once you recover from the mental shock.
I want to continue hunting monsters by wandering around the deepest level like this.
‘The power of the demons is stronger than you think.’
I had to go back as soon as possible and come up with a solution with Ji Jin-hee.
It was after that that I returned to the Abyss.
[Both the Abyss and Earth are still busy.]
“For sure. Even two bodies are not enough. “There are two crazy people among the anti-aircraft contractors.”
The ones Taehyun mentioned were Min Jihong and Kassim Jort.
Rosaria is also someone who heard about Taehyun.
[Well, I planted a gift so don’t worry.]
“A gift?”
[Did you say Yoo Ah-young? He has quite a useful body.]
“…?”
This is when Taehyun tries to ask back at an incomprehensible sound.
[Go ahead. You will find out when the time comes anyway.]
Rosaria waved her hand.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A gate appeared in its place.
“…okay. “I’ll see you again soon.”
Taehyun lifted Ayoung up and flipped her over.
I crossed the gate to Earth.
* * *
Office of the President of the New Korea Players Association.
Ji Jin-hee was restless there.
This is because contact with Taehyeon, who entered the labyrinth, was lost.
No, contact is not the problem.
Even life or death was unknown.
It was because the entrance to the labyrinth disappeared and suddenly disappeared.
Extinction, not collapse.
Taehyun and Ayoung, of course.
It was natural that Mine’s body wasn’t even found.
“It’s all… my fault. “I shouldn’t have sent Taehyun alone…”
“It’s not the association president’s fault.”
Go Tae-wook consoled Ji Jin-hee, who was blaming herself.
‘The president of the association is not weak.’
Rather, even though Ji Jin-hee got older, she was still one of the top five players in New Korea.
This is because he did not neglect training despite his busy schedule.
And yet, we are being treated like this without any help.
‘Min Ji-hong.’
It was because of that guy’s existence.
A man who passed down everything to Ji Jin-hee to raise him as her successor.
Tactics and force.
Ji Jin-hee’s masterpiece, which was devoted to protecting the New Korea, is actually targeting the New Korea.
That was a big reason why Ji Jin-hee could not lead the game like before.
“President of the Association. In times like these, you need to keep your head straight. ‘Gray disease’ has not completely disappeared yet.”
The name of the infectious disease that spread, starting from Saechullian believers, was named Gray Disease.
This is because it has become clear that it was created with Venom’s magic power.
The believers who were demons were killed, and the ordinary believers were captured alive.
However, there was nothing that could be done about the disease that was already infected.
As a result of the failed initial quarantine, the gray disease has spread to Asia.
At this rate, it seemed only a matter of time before it spread to the West.
“Yeah… the vaccine isn’t out yet.”
Ji Jin-hee sighed and came to her senses.
“First, I met with Vice Chairman Lee Jeong-soo and asked about the vaccine…”
That was then.
“The president of the association is in big trouble!!”
A subordinate came in with a sudden knock.
“What’s going on?”
Ji Jin-hee knows that situations like this are usually negative.
That prediction was not wrong.
“It’s a gate break response!!”
“Huh…what’s the grade?”
“At least S. No, it is expected to be the first SS grade in New Korea. The location is… along the Han River in Yeouido.”
“…!!”
“…!!”
Ji Jin-hee and Go Tae-wook’s faces turned earthy at the same time.
“Assemble the association players and the four major guilds right now.”
“All right.”
After receiving the order, Go Tae-wook went out with his subordinates.
Ji Jin-hee sighed again.
‘Taehyun. Miss Ayoung. Please just stay alive.’
I felt guilty for not being able to encourage their relationship.
Ji Jin-hee was heartbroken.
* * *
Hangang Park in Yeouido, Seoul.
Hundreds of players were camped there.
It was in the shape of surrounding a gate that suddenly appeared in Hangang Park.
“Fuck you. “Why is it so crazy?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk, who had been summoned to lead the guild members to the banks of the Han River, grumbled.
“SS grade. At a time like this…”
“This is not the time to show weakness. “We have to take charge of the boss level.”
Ji Jin-hee opened her mouth in response to the negative reactions of Kwon Kang-hyuk and Kwak Si-yang.
“Fuck you. “Is it because someone doesn’t know that?”
This is Kwon Kang-hyuk, who was about to say something to Ji Jin-hee.
The person who stood in the way was Park Seong-jin.
“It begins.”
Fazizik.
Purple magic soared from the gate.
It was a precursor to the gate break.
yet.
Kwasik. Kwazijic.
Dozens of barriers around the gate did not last long and broke apart.
“Everyone stay in formation!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk shouted
and.
Kwasik!!
Finally, the last barrier was broken.
At the same time, hundreds of skills were concentrated at the gate.
The entire area was devastated and smoke rose.
‘He’s not the type of person to be shocked like this.’
Kwon Kang-hyuk rushed towards the gate where the smoke had not yet cleared.
Tiring.
[Skill Beast’s Protection (S) has been activated.]
Boom.
His arm, which had changed into that of a wild beast, swung.
but.
Wow.
The person in the smoke caught his fist without notice.
‘Humanoid? What kind of ridiculous power… Now wait a minute, I can’t believe it…’ This
is the moment when Kwon Kang-hyuk is about to say something.
Wow.
Kwon Kang-hyuk’s body was kicked by something and bounced towards the players.
next.
Tiring.
[Skill Launch (S) has been activated. [Specify the target.]
Park Seong-jin’s spiral lacquer paper drew an arc.
Crack.
Park Seong-jin also did not succeed in his attack.
Raseonchilji was caught by something as if it was futile.
“…!!”
Park Seong-jin’s eyes opened wide as he belatedly checked his opponent.
But it was too late for him to realize it too.
Boom.
It was unbelievable.
Park Seong-jin flew away with Raseon Chil-ji and ended up in the same situation as Kwon Kang-hyuk.
“Seongjin!!”
Tiring.
[Skill Magic Condensation (S) has been strengthened. Condensation rate: 90%]
Paz i.e. That’s it.
Kwak Si-yang slammed the magic bullet he had been preparing on the gate.
Originally, there should have been an explosion in the area.
Wow.
The concentrated magic bullet disappeared as if absorbed by something.
“…!!”
“Everyone step back!!”
Ji Jin-hee, who noticed something strange, unleashed the magic of her entire body.
Cough.
New Korean ancient martial arts 7th type plain.
He began preparations to hold his feast.
at that time.
“I came back alive and the welcome ceremony was grand.”
Players around the area murmured at the sudden new Korean language.
On the other hand, the corners of the mouths of Kwon Kang-hyuk and Park Seong-jin, who had been in agreement with their opponents a little while ago, were raised.
“Fuck…it hurts.”
“You’re back.”
Phew.
A wind blew from somewhere and blew away the smoke.
“I’m home.”
The one who appeared was Taehyun, carrying Yoo Ah-young on his back.
