“Ha.”
Taehyun, who was looking at the status window, laughed.
It’s also long.
It was very different from the status window I received when I first returned.
The Awakened grade, which was E, has changed to SS, and it is filled with general skills and summoning skills.
It all started with the unique skill ‘Predation’.
‘I feel new again.’
No. 1 player in the world.
And now it was a fight with myself.
[You seem to be in a good mood.]
Taehyun suddenly came to his senses after hearing Rosaria’s words.
He then turned his attention to the skill called ‘Devil’s Saliva’.
[Would you like to try it?]
Rosaria asked, waving her tentacles.
She is also curious about Taehyun’s growth.
“okay.”
Tiring.
[Skill Devil’s Saliva (SS) has been activated.]
Quaaaaa.
Purple magic bloomed in Taehyun’s body.
[Hoo.]
Rosaria watched the scene with amusement.
The dark red magic power that gives a faint feeling of the king’s power.
It’s not Igmun’s blood-red magic or his own purple magic.
The magical power that Taehyun was currently unleashing clearly belonged to Beelzebub.
One of Rosaria’s tentacles touched Taehyun’s body.
The tentacles turned purple, as if infected.
In an instant, one tentacle was stained with miasma.
[Hmm~ Try more.]
“I might regret it.”
Tiring.
[Skill Devil’s Saliva (SS) has been strengthened. The consumption of magic power is accelerating.]
A lot of magic power drained from Taehyun’s body.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
The tentacle that was touching Taehyun began to melt.
Its power was nothing compared to Beelzebub’s, but its principle seemed similar.
Toouk.
Rosaria laughed as she looked at her tentacles sizzling with water bubbles.
[I thought it would be possible. It’s amazing to see it in person.]
“I agree.”
Rosaria’s ‘Ataraxia’, Igmun’s ‘Blood Rush’, Orgal’s ‘Demonization’, Hazard’s ‘Dragon’s Fury’, Beelzebub’s ‘Devil’s Saliva’.
‘Plus predation.’
It starts with the power of the king and deals with the power of the five princes.
Taehyun’s skills were incomparable not only in quantity but also in quality.
‘The remaining archdukes are Lucifer and Jormungand.’
No, if you include Typhon, who was the king of giants, there are three.
How much can we grow if we accept their magical power?
Just imagining it makes my body tremble with excitement.
Rosaria noticed that thought.
[Hehe. It seems like too much greed for the current contractor.]
“Let’s call it ambition.”
As Taehyun said that, he gathered his magic power.
The skill was lifted, and the miasma encroaching on the surroundings subsided.
Sigh.
Rosaria regenerated the lost tentacle.
This was possible because Taehyun deliberately did not defend himself so that the attack could be successful a little while ago.
But even so.
‘It’s tremendous power.’
Although I couldn’t obtain Beelzebub’s blood, I obtained even more of Beelzebub’s magical power.
Not only would Taehyun’s power be further strengthened, but Seo Sang-ik would have been able to create a vaccine with just this.
[Are you planning to go back?]
“Yes. “I spent more time than I thought.”
Even though each day was tight, I knew that quite a bit of time had passed.
It’s dizzying to think how widespread the gray disease is by now.
[Come to think of it. What happened to that child?]
That child.
Taehyun realized that Rosaria was referring to Yoo Ah-young.
This is because the only human Rosaria can mention is her.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young? “I heard you’re still recovering… but it looks like you haven’t regained consciousness yet.”
At Taehyun’s words, Rosaria’s face appeared as she was thinking about something.
[Hmm… I guess the gift was bigger than I thought.]
A gift.
Once again.
An ominous feeling passed through Taehyun’s mind.
“What are you talking about? I don’t think I’ll do something different when I recover…”
Even before Taehyun finished speaking.
[It was done. Go back now.]
Rosaria waved her arms as if she didn’t want to hear it.
Quaaaaa.
The gate to Earth has opened.
What’s different from before is that the body is being forcibly pulled, as if it were a force of gravity.
Taehyun did not necessarily reject that power.
[Ah, contractor. Now that I think about it, I forgot to say this.]
“…?”
[Now, if it were your body, the laws of the Abyss might apply.]
“What?”
The Law of the Abyss.
It was my first time hearing it.
Rosaria smiled as if she had anticipated Taehyun’s reaction.
[You will know when you experience it yourself.]
Without even asking what to say.
Kwaduk!!
The gate swallowed Taehyun.
As Taehyun’s presence disappeared, the succubi gathered like ghosts.
As a result of the previous battle, many of them became Grand Succubi, and many of them grew into Succubus Knights.
[Crackling. Queen~ Has the guest returned?]
[We couldn’t even say hello. Caught.]
[Handsome oppa~ Why did you go?]
If Taehyun had heard, he would have trembled.
But to Rosaria, even those appearances were lovely children.
She returned to her usual queenly, dignified expression.
[Huh. It’s none of your business. Did you make the castle’s defenses stronger than that?]
[Caught. The sisters are tightly blocking it now.]
The sisters meant Grand Succubus and Succubus Knight.
[okay. You shouldn’t relax from now on.]
From Igmun Orgal to Beelzebub.
Rosaria was now targeted by the three archdukes.
It may be a burden for her, who is considered the weakest of the archdukes.
[Huh~ Is it only that arrogant guy?]
The doppelganger seen in Taehyun’s mental world.
Rosaria was just wriggling her tentacles as she remembered the guy’s appearance.
* * *
Seoul, New Korea.
A woman was looking down at the ground from the rooftop of Yeouido, where high-rise buildings are concentrated.
A Nigerian player and contractor to Archduke Hazard.
It was Asisat Ebi.
“Where have you really gone~ Player Kim Tae-hyun?”
She muttered while admiring the dazzling night view.
A considerable amount of time has passed since the day I met Taehyun.
“I’ll call you again. “Please wait patiently until then.”
The sight of him speaking after incapacitating himself was still vivid.
But in the end.
She got tired of waiting for Taehyun’s words that he would contact her soon and ended up sneaking into New Korea.
New Korea was strictly controlling foreign inflow due to the rampant gray disease, and Nigeria had to sneak in because the infection rate was relatively high.
Therefore, she was wandering around looking for Taehyeon alone without the help of the association.
While admiring the night view, she turned her attention to the report in her hand.
This was Taehyun’s information that he found out through the Nigerian intelligence guild before arriving in New Korea.
What she was interested in was the people around her.
Although Taehyun disappeared like a lie.
I decided that if I visited my acquaintances and asked questions, I would definitely be able to find something.
“Let’s see.” The only ones who can be considered acquaintances are Association President Ji Jin-hee and Ko Tae-wook… and Lim A-young and Yoo Ah-young…? “Why do we have the same name?”
Asisat Ebi’s eyes, which were quickly scanning information, stopped at a photo of two women.
What’s interesting is that both were S-rank players in New Korea, and both are currently receiving treatment for injuries suffered by the deceased Shadow.
Heel.
The corners of Asisat Ebi’s mouth rose.
It was a unique behavior that appeared when a target was chosen.
That’s when she put the documents in her arms and tried to move.
I felt a gloomy energy contrasting with the beautiful night view.
“…come out.”
She muttered quietly, then clicked her tongue and looked back.
“I have a good feeling.”
“…!!”
Asisat Ebi showed a rare surprised expression.
This is because there is a person in front of you who should not be here.
“black hole.”
She said the other person’s name.
Min Ji-hong continued speaking as if she didn’t care.
“Asisat ebi. He was a grade A player in Nigeria, but recently disappeared from an unexplored dungeon. Afterwards, I survived alone from the broken dungeon.”
“I heard you were recently promoted to S-tier player in Nigeria, right?”
“I heard it from player Kim Tae-hyun. “I heard you’re also an anti-aircraft contractor?”
She also answered Min Ji-hong’s question with a question.
Taehyun had already told us about his fight with Kassim Zort and Min Jihong.
Min Ji-hong laughed in response to Asisat Ebi’s direct question.
It was surprising that she contacted Taehyun, but I didn’t expect him to ask this out loud.
“I guess I came to the right place.”
“Same. “I never thought I would be stalked by Mine.”
“Don’t worry. After a while, you won’t even remember what happened. Before that, I’d like to ask you one question. “What is Hazzard planning with Asmodeus?”
Min Ji-hong naturally narrowed the distance and asked.
“Orgal seems to be very interested~ But what about this? “I hate demons more than monsters.”
“I’m sorry. “Well, after a while, your thoughts will change.”
Quaaaaa.
Black magical power bloomed from Asisat Ebi’s body.
Tiring.
[Skill Separated World (S) has been activated. Specify the scope.]
“It’s a barrier. “It’s not a skill suitable for an anti-aircraft contractor.”
“okay. “This is the real thing.”
Tiring.
[Skill Demon Dragon’s Mettle (SS) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Kugugugung.
“…!!”
Just like Taehyun did not long ago, the crushing force was not light.
Min Ji-hong instinctively remembered Tae-hyun’s skills.
Likewise, it was no coincidence that Asisat Ebi also thought of Taehyun.
Is that why?
“Do you want to kneel?”
She provoked with an arrogant smile.
The corner of Min Ji-hong’s mouth twitched.
That’s because he looks exactly like Taehyun.
“A bad face comes to mind.”
Brown magical energy bloomed from Min Ji-hong’s body.
Tiring.
[Skill Black Hole (SS) has been activated.]
“Have you prepared your will?”
As Min Ji-hong said, new models flooded in.
