Episode 222:
The garbage dump was attacked by demons.
It didn’t take long for Ji Jin-hee to receive such a report.
“Who is the opponent?!!”
Ji Jin-hee asked the chief secretary who came in to report.
“This is Min Ji-hong!!”
Ji Jin-hee’s eyes widened.
It is also questionable how the demons found out its location.
‘Director Go and Taehyun are there.’
I could only see that it was intentional.
“Who is Park Seong-jin?!!”
“Currently, we have received the report and are preparing to warp the unit.”
Even if it is a unit warp, the power prepared in a short period of time cannot be good.
Above all, the opponent is Min Ji-hong.
Park Seong-jin alone was not enough.
“I’ll go too.”
Ji Jin-hee stood up and said.
At those words, the chief secretary’s complexion darkened.
“President of the Association. “In a situation where Manager Koh Tae-wook is not present, on-site support is not possible.”
“….”
Go Tae-wook was appointed as acting president of the association, replacing Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association.
Currently, the acting president of the association is in danger.
No matter how Ji Jin-hee is a major force in New Korea.
This meant that both the association president and the association president’s acting president could not enter the dangerous area.
‘It could be a big blow not only to the Players Association but also to New Korea.’
The chief secretary was saying that.
Ji Jin-hee didn’t know either.
but.
‘Min Ji-hong. Should I leave that child to others?’
Baekrang, a new Korean ancient martial art that he taught.
How many casualties will that technology cause this time?
When I thought about that, my heart already felt heavy.
Ji Jin-hee sighed heavily.
The chief secretary cautiously opened his mouth.
“Fortunately, it was located in a quiet place just in case like this… There is also player Taehyun Kim inside… so there will be no problem.”
The chief secretary spoke hopeful words.
It was thought that it was natural for the chief secretary to think that Min Ji-hong was a top S-class mine, one level below Kasim Zort.
“Hmm…”
Although a lot of information has been revealed about Min Ji-hong, there are still many hidden facts.
The fact that he was an anti-aircraft contractor was also information that many people did not yet know.
“Even Min Ji-hong won’t be able to do anything in front of the Grim Reaper.”
At some point, Taehyun was even called the Grim Reaper by the demons.
The chief secretary had no doubt that Taehyun would solve the case this time too.
But Ji Jin-hee’s thoughts were different.
‘ha. Do you think we have to entrust Taehyun with that kind of burden again?’
Currently, I know that Taehyun is the only person in New Korea who can deal with Min Jihong.
Even if all the S-rank players in New Korea, including himself, attacked him, he would not be an opponent.
There was that much of a gap between S-rank players and SS-rank mines.
Some people are glad that Taehyun has relieved a significant number of burdens.
The more it happened, the heavier Ji Jin-hee’s heart became.
How relieved I was when I found out that Min Ji-hong was not in the labyrinth.
‘This is a monster I created. This time, I really wanted to end it with my own hands…’
That’s when Ji Jin-hee was thinking.
“The timing is more perfect than that. “If Taehyun Kim hadn’t found the dump, we would have been in big trouble.”
“….”
Ji Jin-hee’s mind came to her senses as the chief secretary spoke in a flowing tone.
‘No way…’
Was Taehyun’s intention for the current situation?
Did you expect Min Ji-hong to attack the garbage dump?
‘Uhm… I guess… not.’
Ji Jin-hee shook her head slightly.
“They say the command room is ready now.”
I think all these doubts are a leap forward.
“egg plant.”
It was Ji Jin-hee heading to the operation command room.
* * *
A garbage dump at that time.
Contrary to Ji Jin-hee’s thoughts.
Taehyun was expecting Min Jihong to come here.
Like Taehyun, who considers give and take as basic common sense.
Just as they lured Taehyeon using Yoo Ah-young as bait, they lured Min Ji-hong using the shadow as bait.
‘Well, I didn’t know it would come so quickly.’
Taehyun smiled bitterly as he looked at Min Ji-hong, who was showing off his courage in front of him.
If it’s slow, that’s a problem.
In hunting, the faster the better.
Meanwhile, from Min Ji-hong’s perspective, all of this was absurd.
On Orgal’s orders, a trap was dug to capture Taehyeon.
At Orgal’s whim, he was called to the Abyss and returned to Earth.
It’s not that there were no risks, but we didn’t empty the labyrinth without any insurance against Kim Tae-hyun.
Thousands of high-level demons and monsters Tartarus.
In addition, he also installed his own safety device by blowing up the Shadow and Kasim Jort Labyrinth, which he acknowledged.
‘In the worst case, I thought it would be possible to trap Kim Tae-hyun in the labyrinth.’
Contrary to expectations, reality was just the opposite.
The Labyrinth has been blown up, Kasim Jort has returned to Earth and is being chased by Cody Cruz, and Shadow has been captured by Taehyun Kim at the headquarters of the Chinese Players Association.
That was why Min Ji-hong trespassed into the garbage dump, putting Orgal’s orders on the back burner.
It was an emotional choice that was unusual for him.
Taehyun saw through Min Jihong’s psychology.
‘We’ll have a fight before he regains his composure.’
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SS) has been activated. [Specifies the target.]
A huge maw surrounded Min Ji-hong, who was trying to approach the shadow.
Although he later used a black hole.
Quad deuk.
The predator didn’t care and bit off the guy’s right arm.
The current ‘black hole’ cannot stop the growing ‘predation’.
Tiring.
[I have devoured a huge amount of magical power. [Strength has increased by 1.]
‘It’s a huge amount of magical power…’
Taehyun’s stats have increased incomparably compared to before.
How can you say that your stats increase by eating just one arm?
Taehyun looked at Min Jihong’s other arm, which was wrapped in a bandage.
It is too large to be considered human.
Tiring.
[The skill Eye of a Higher Species (S) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
The magical power flowing through Min Ji-hong’s body was clearly visible in his red eyes, which became even darker. “…!!”
Huge magical power hidden within the bandage.
It was brown magical power symbolizing Orgal.
‘It’s thicker than before.’
It was a much stronger magical power than what I saw when I met him before, or even what an ordinary anti-aircraft contractor possesses.
The smell was so unpleasant that it reminded me of Kassim Zort, who had been demonized.
‘Did this guy transplant the body of a high-level monster?’
Kassim Jort’s ‘Demonization’ or Taehyun’s ‘Demonization’.
To put it bluntly, it was a body that was just as heterogeneous as that.
What is the difference?
‘You maintain that body well all the time.’
As Taehyun grew, Min Jihong also grew.
I could see it like that.
Quad deud deuk.
Min Ji-hong’s arm, which had been torn off, grew new.
Ultra-fast playback.
That is also an ability that he did not originally have.
‘Isn’t it fun?’
Smirk.
The corners of my mouth naturally rose.
Taehyun unleashed Apocalypse with all his might.
Tiring.
[Skill Apocalypse (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption is accelerating.]
Kugugugu.
[Output 60… 70… 80… 90… 100%.]
[Skill enhancement has reached its limit. The consumption of magic power is accelerating.]
Jihong Min opened his magic power.
The brown magic power symbolizing the power of Orgal pushed away the power of Apocalypse.
That’s it. Paz, that is.
In the collision of two magical powers.
Two men with red eyes glared at each other.
* * *
Kwaaang.
Min Ji-hong knocked away the magic bullet launched by Tae-hyeon.
It was an attack aimed at a defenseless shadow.
This is because he knows that if he attacks the shadow, Min Ji-hong will defend it instead.
“I make time. Get out of that gap.”
Min Ji-hong spoke lowly to the shadow that was struggling to hold on to its spirit.
You already know that your partner is crazy.
‘It must be Rosaria’s skill.’
Min Ji-hong glanced at her arm, which was starting to recover.
The power is strong compared to the preparation time.
Even taking field skills into account, Kim Tae-hyun’s magical power was much higher than before.
Normally, he would have lifted Apocalypse first with his skill Black Hole.
Ugh.
The magical power of nonstop predation was devouring the black hole as if it were hunting.
Is that all?
Fuuuuung. Pow.
Sigh. Sigh.
Even multiple skills to aim for the shadow.
Taehyun was putting pressure on Min Jihong to prevent her from moving carelessly.
‘It’s understandable that Kassim Jort fell behind.’
Crack.
Min Ji-hong bit his teeth.
Sacrificing the shadow to destroy Taehyun’s skills?
Did you sacrifice your arms to defend yourself like you do now?
Kim Tae-hyun was waiting for every opportunity with only two options left.
No, that would be enough to buy some time.
but.
Ugh.
Taehyun’s hand blade approached Min Jihong in an instant and aimed at Min Jihong’s neck.
Taebaek, the first form of the new Korean ancient martial art.
“…!!”
Min Ji-hong’s hand throbbed as she instinctively defended herself.
If it weren’t for the new arm, it would have been cut off with such force.
It was a beginning, not an end.
Type 2 Mountain View. The 4th form of Bagua. Consider Type 5.
Min Ji-hong’s main technique, White Wolf, was being reproduced in Tae-hyeon.
And that’s at a level of skill that wouldn’t be strange if he were to be considered a legitimate successor.
[Skill Demonization (S) has been activated. Specify the mimicry part.]
[Skill Demonization (S) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption is accelerating.]
Crackle. Crackling.
Taehyun’s arms and legs were grotesquely swollen.
at the same time.
Sixth type decimal.
Quang.
“Khaak…”
Even though Min Ji-hong blocked it with both arms.
Taehyun’s leg broke his arms and kicked him in the chest.
“It’s pretty good.”
Taehyun admired Min Jihong as she stood up from afar.
It was an attack with the intention of blowing away the entire upper body of the guy who had just fired it.
I was able to endure this by strengthening both arms with magical power and strengthening them again with gold.
The guy’s broken body began to regenerate at high speed.
‘The saint will be sad if she sees it.’
Taehyun thought so and fired a magic bullet at Min Jihong, who was trying to use the black hole.
Min Ji-hong canceled the skill and hurriedly struck away the magic bullet.
I dropped a magical bullet that had been condensed in an instant at the shadow.
Kwaang!!
Min Ji-hong hurriedly approached and struck away the magic bullet.
“Ugh….”
The exploded arm began to regenerate at high speed once again.
“Comrades in arms are good.”
This is when Taehyun mocks Min Jihong and prepares for the next attack.
Wow.
The shadow, barely able to come to its senses, grabbed Min Ji-hong’s feet.
“Run away.”
“What… nonsense?”
“As it is now… “You can’t beat Taehyun Kim.”
“….”
“I make time.”
“You…”
“Go.”
Sssssss.
In an instant, Min Ji-hong’s body disappeared.
Taehyun has completely escaped from the apocalypse.
“…!!”
I knew that the shadow was making one last move.
but.
‘It was enough to take out Min Ji-hong… This was definitely a mistake.’
The fact that he was leaving his field was a variable that arose because he never thought that this level of friendship was possible for Mine.
“Friendship is something like magic…”
Taehyun’s eyes turned to the dying shadow.
“My partner… whew… must have been too much…”
Even at a glance, it’s not normal.
Nevertheless.
In the apocalypse that has unfolded to its maximum extent, a shadow has risen.
I heard an eerie sound as if every bone in my body was being broken.
That wasn’t all.
An ominous magical power blooming from the body.
It was clearly similar to the magic power of Orgal that was felt by Min Ji-hong a moment ago.
“you. “You risked your life.”
Taehyun understood the current situation.
The shadow went crazy with its skills.
I used the last card I had hidden.
“Keu… If I can save that guy with my life… it’s not a bad deal.”
Quaaaaaaaaa.
The surge of magical power swallowed up the shadow.
and.
A shadow that can no longer be called human.
[I will take you with me as a companion.]
He spat out the language of monsters.
