Episode 220:
Taehyun sent magical energy to his face.
The skin that had always been on Ji Jin-hee’s face began to become flabby.
Wow.
When the mask covering it was removed, Taehyun’s clean face was revealed.
It was natural that the shadow that raised its head with difficulty was surprised.
Taehyun, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.
The reason she was able to wear Ji Jin-hee’s face was thanks to the disguise mask developed by Alchemist.
It enables a realistic disguise based on the target’s magical power and DNA information.
It was a product developed by Alchemist when Taehyun in his previous life was around 30 years old.
‘Alchemist has solidified its position with this product.’
Taehyun is not a scientist.
However, since it was a product that had been an issue in my past life, I knew the general principles.
Some ideas and information provided by Taehyun.
With that alone, Alchemist’s talented researchers are quickly catching up with the scientific capabilities of their past lives.
Of course, Taehyun provided considerable funds.
“It was easier than I thought.”
Taehyun said and walked towards the shadow.
The reason Park Seong-jin and Ko Tae-wook were brought along was to reduce suspicion.
If Taehyun or Ji Jinhee suddenly find themselves here alone.
This is because it is obvious from Xu Jain’s perspective that he needs to be on guard.
As a result, the prediction was correct.
Xu Jain took Taehyeon’s bait and succeeded in bringing out the shadow behind him.
‘I never thought I’d meet a shadow so quickly.’
Taehyun looked down at the shadow kneeling in front of him.
Is it because of hurt pride?
The guy was trying to stand up, resisting gravity.
‘It’s pretty good.’
Like the guy who gave Taehyun a hard time until the very end.
Not only did the shadow have skills, but its mental power was also on a different level from the demons I had seen so far.
But that’s it.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Kugugugung.
Apocalypse’s magic was concentrated on the shadow.
dump.
The shadow that was struggling to stand up fell to its knees once again.
“I wouldn’t have been allowed to stand.”
He doesn’t even allow Taehyun to make eye contact with him.
Blocked the shadow.
‘Damn it…’
Shadow cursed internally.
Although my magical power is being raised to its maximum, my five senses are fading and paralysis is coming.
I don’t even know how many skills are in this dark area.
Taehyun passed the trembling shadow and stood behind it.
And whispered in my ear.
“He ran away like a rat. “Did you join hands with China as expected?”
“…!!”
It was an obvious mockery.
Sigh. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Chains flowing out of the darkness wrapped around the shadow’s body.
I felt my body stiffening.
No matter how much he overcame the wall.
I haven’t reached the point where I can resist Taehyun’s apocalypse.
The chain tightened the arms of the unresponsive shadow.
Coo. Cough.
The bones that could not stand it broke easily.
“K…ah…ah….”
The shadow gathered all its strength and tried to remove the chains.
However, the more this happens, the stronger the oppression becomes.
“I try hard.”
Crack.
Taehyun stepped on the head of the crouching shadow.
My head fell and the floor caved in.
‘It’s dangerous like this.’
Kim Tae-hyun’s skills entangle his entire body.
A chain is a chain, but this vast field was blocking all escape routes.
At this rate, even if you use the ‘Apostle of Darkness’, you cannot escape.
A very brief gap.
‘If only there was a moment…’
“I can hear the head rolling all the way from here.”
Taehyun gave strength to the foot that was stepping on the shadow.
Quad deuk. Crack.
In my heart, I want to prey on him right now.
This is because his skills are so desirable.
but.
‘I’m not sure I can make it mine just by predating it yet.’
Above all, this operation was about capturing the shadow.
Just for immediate use, it will be possible to find out where Lee Jeong-soo is and find out whether there is a vaccine for gray disease through that.
‘There is ample potential for bait or skill predation for Min Ji-hong.’
So far, the traps set to catch the rats have been properly bitten.
And now.
There was a need to take the final bait.
“Aaaah!!!”
Xu Jain, who had fainted, let out a roar.
Apocalypse took advantage of the opportunity to focus on the shadow and unleashed his skills.
His claws were full of life that even Park Seong-jin and Go Tae-wook could not ignore.
nettle liquid. Stinging nettle liquid.
There was no time for the two to stop them.
From the swung claw, a spirit that could be called sword energy flew out.
‘bingo.’
Teong. Wow.
The flying sword energy was blocked by the chain.
“The head of the Chinese association is helping the shadows. “How should I accept this?”
“Shut up!! “I just eliminate the invaders who insulted the great country!!”
It’s shameless enough to call him an expert.
It was obvious why Xu Jain had this attitude.
The head of the China Players Association is connected to a shadowy figure who is wanted internationally?
If this happened on Xu Jain’s intention, he would not be able to avoid the world’s condemnation.
If this is happening without Xu Jain’s knowledge, he will not be able to avoid being criticized as incompetent.
Of course, responsibility lies with you.
‘At a minimum, deprive players. In severe cases, it could lead to the death penalty.’
In that case, it would have been beneficial to join forces with the shadows and bury Taehyun and his group.
In any case, it is still the headquarters of the Chinese Players Association, where he has influence.
“How dare you… do something like this in a major country and still be safe…”
Kugugung.
A huge force of gravity hit Xu Jain this time.
Quad deud deuk.
“…!!”
Xu Zain fell to his knees without even being able to scream due to the unimaginable power.
Both knees were already shattered.
‘What kind of magic…’
Xu Zain belatedly regretted his rebellion.
But for some, it was a rebellion that was never in vain.
There was a brief moment when Taehyun’s magic that had bound his entire body weakened.
The shadow did not miss that gap.
It was an instant.
Sssssssuk.
The shadow body escaped Taehyun’s apocalypse.
It was a quick movement like when escaping a labyrinth.
“Kk…kkk…it doesn’t work out the way you think.”
Xu Jain laughed at Taehyun’s mistake and spit it out.
As a result of the runaway, magical power begins to reflux and there is no feeling in the knees.
Nevertheless, if the shadow succeeds in escaping like this, the situation may turn around.
This is because Kim Tae-hyun could be pushed into invading the Chinese Players Association.
From then on, it was the realm of politics and diplomacy.
But this too.
This was what Taehyun expected.
“Thank you. Chairman Xu Jain of the Association.”
“what…?”
‘Thanks to you, a plausible picture was drawn.’
Taehyun looked back at Park Seongjin and Go Taewook, who had stiff expressions on their faces.
“I would like to ask the association president, Xu Jain. “This is important negotiation material, so save your life.”
“you…?”
Seongjin Park asked.
“The rat ran away, so we have to catch it again.”
“….”
The shadow disappeared without a trace.
Even before Park Seong-jin asked how.
Taehyun activated the newly acquired skill in the labyrinth.
Tiring.
[Skill Portal (S) has been activated. Search for coordinates.]
The magic of shadow still remained in Apocalypse.
Skill did not miss that part.
[Coordinates have been specified. The gate is activated.]
Quaaaaaaa.
The warp gate opened.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Taehyun crossed the gate without hesitation.
* * *
Outside Beijing.
Ssssssut.
Suddenly a shadow appeared.
It was a secret hideout for the triads that had been marked in advance.
“Huh… Huh….”
The shadow gasped.
The skill ‘Apostle of Darkness’ was used excessively.
Thanks to this, we became quite distant from the Chinese Players Association, but it seemed like the magic would flow back at any moment.
I had the illusion that Taehyun’s magical power was still binding my body.
This was the power that Min Ji-hong and Kassim Jort felt when they made their determination to live.
‘Could it have been a trap?…’
It was a mistake I would never have made under normal circumstances.
It was a disaster that occurred because it was thought that Kim Tae-hyun was trapped in the labyrinth and could not escape.
The shadow later regretted its complacency.
A moment of inattention almost cost him the support of the Chinese Players Association.
The good news is that he wasn’t caught by Kim Tae-hyun.
‘I guess I’ll leave the cleanup to Xu Zain.’
I had to be satisfied with that for now.
“Shadow!!”
A subordinate spotted him from a distance and approached him.
Secret hideout.
He was the guy in charge of strengthening mines at the so-called ‘Factory’.
“What is happening here at this hour…”
“My tail was stepped on. “We will destroy the evidence before Kim Tae-hyun comes.”
This guy is smart enough to take charge of management.
Even though it was a sudden order, the subordinate did not ask why.
“How much time will you need?”
Even Kim Tae-hyun will need quite a bit of time to find this place.
Now that he is gone, Xu Zain will also decide to get out of the way.
China is large and not so shabby that foreigners can easily find something.
“one hour. “We will organize it inside and move the ‘factory’.”
“All right.”
It is time for the subordinate to return to carry out the order.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A moment when you feel the energy of something powerful and magical.
Pow.
A magical bullet flew from somewhere and exploded the subordinate’s head.
“…!!”
The shadow hastily escaped.
Two more magic bullets fell in that spot.
‘stomach…!!’
The shadow belatedly looked up into space.
There was a gate there that I had never seen before.
‘What is this…’
Clearly, a gate has appeared where there was nothing until a moment ago.
But what’s more surprising than that.
“Anyway, he’s a quick guy.”
The fact was that Taehyun was walking out of the gate.
‘How…’
Until now, I have never been caught as an ‘Apostle of Darkness’.
His escape was perfect.
Like in the labyrinth.
It was an idea I could do because I didn’t know that Taehyun had created a new skill.
“I don’t know how it got here.”
Only then did Taehyun look around.
laboratory. Or, it looks reminiscent of a factory.
About a hundred horsemen were crowding around the familiar equipment.
“It’s a mine reinforcement factory. “You have an interesting place in Beijing.”
Quickly.
Shadow ground his teeth.
I couldn’t control my anger at the fact that I had been deceived by Taehyun once again.
However, Taehyun is just acting as if he is the owner of this place.
Can not help it.
This place will now be taken over by that devilish bastard.
‘If that’s the case, I should at least take my body out.’
Stop Kim Tae-hyun.
It was when the shadow was about to give an order to the gathered demons.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
Dark red magical energy bloomed from Taehyun’s body.
“What we did in the labyrinth. Should I finish it?”
Creepy.
Shadow and Taehyun’s skills were used at the same time.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been activated. The target is not specified.]
[Skill Enhanced Apostle of Darkness (S) has been activated.]
[Skill Enhanced Apostle of Darkness (S) has been canceled.]
‘…!!’
Before the shadow that failed to escape could think of its next move.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Kugugugugugung.
A huge force of gravity weighed down the area.
Taehyun quietly snapped his fingers.
“Everyone… fuck your heads.”
thud. thud. thud. thud.
The demons, who had already bent their knees, hit their heads with a dull sound.
Likewise, Shadow, whose knees were bent, held on with all his might.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Specifies the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Cooung!!!
I had to hit my head harder than anyone else due to the concentration of magical energy.
“You bastard…”
Blood flowed from his crushed nose and mouth.
The shadow cursed quietly.
